* MagnificentBastard: The Red Death
** In the Short Story: One would have to say that a plague disguising itself as a costumed guest to get in and then goading Prospero is a very clever move.
** The Movie: The Red Death himself infects an old woman to deliver a vow to her village that the tyranny of Prince Prospero is at its end, spreading the plague as she goes to enhance the fear of the Red Death and draw all the nobles to the sadistic Prospero's manor. Gathering them together, the Red Death exposes himself to Prospero and takes him and all his revelers with the plague, sparing six innocents as a form of mercy before reuniting with his fellow brothers, having secured his "illimitable dominion" over the land.

* MagnificentBastard: Jang Dong-soo is an affable, ruthless gangster who runs an efficient rigged gambling ring that he has used for years to get rich. After being attacked by the serial killer Kyung-ho, Dong-soo begins working with rival cop Tae-suk to track down the vicious murderer and bring him to justice as payback for the assault, with Dong-soo recording his interactions with Tae-suk so as to ensure the cop can't betray him at a later date. Using his vast network to hunt down evidence and eventually Kyung-ho himself, Dong-soo, utterly disgusted with Kyung-ho after he killed a young girl Dong-soo had treated nicely hours earlier, decides to take justice into his own hands and attempts to murder Kyung-ho. Even after Tae-suk stops the murder, Dong-soo turns himself in just so he can testify against Kyung-ho and get them both locked in the same prison, where Dong-soo cheerfully corners Kyung-ho with plans to make him pay for all the suffering he's caused.
