The Mom From Blow Is The Absolute WORST Movie Character In The History Of Movie Characters (BONUS: Top 5 Worst Movie Characters Ever)

Jerry Thornton did a great job blogging about the life and death of local legend George Jung, a role Johnny Depp absolutely CRUSHED in Blow. Whenever I see the name George Jung or the movie blow, I think of the comical amount of cocaine that went peoples' noses in the 80s, if the 1986 Mets would've been a dynasty if they were built around two guys who succumbed to the drug of that era, and of course this incredible scene:

But the first thing I think of is how awful George Jung's mom is in that movie. I get that raising a kid that turns to a life of crime may not sit right with some parents. But anybody that does this to their own flesh and blood simply does not have a heart pumping said blood underneath said flesh.

This guy knows what I'm talking about!

You know how evil of a person you have to be for a policeman to look at you like that after arresting a fugitive?

Ermine also has a horrible name (sorry to all the Ermine Stoolies out there), constantly leaves Ray Liotta's absolute peach of a character whenever things get tough, comes back once she realized she fucked up, and oh yeah denied George one last visit with his father as he was dying, leading to this moment.

Is that an incredible scene? Of course! But it didn't have to be this way. None of it had to be this way. If Ermine Jung was just awful or terrible, maybe George's life would have been better, he wouldn't have turned to an (admittedly awesome) life of crime, and maybe the 1986 Mets become a dynasty that keeps the Amazins at the top of baseball all the way until today. 

So an early Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. Except for Ermine Jung, if you are somehow still alive longer than your son, which I'm sure tickles you pink. You get an Unhappy Mother's Day and the lowest ran

BONUS: Top 5 Worst Movie Characters Ever

1. Ermine Jung from Blow

Pretty sure the blog told the story on this one. I also take back the Unhappy Mother's Day part if Ermine wasn't as bad as she was portrayed in the movie. That just feels extra mean. Also the actress that played Ermine being 3 years younger than Johnny Depp is forever weird.

2. Commodus from Gladiator

I can feel my blood boiling while watching this scene. Actually that may be a health issue I have to look into. But fuuuuuuck does Commodus suck, who somehow gets worse AFTER murdering his own father.

3. Brian Kuh from King Of Kong

It's pretty impressive that a henchman from a movie made the list. But watching a real life stooge like Brian Kuh carry Billy Mitchell's water makes my skin crawl and that is coming from someone that loves how great of a villain Billy Mitchell is.

4. Upham from Saving Private Ryan

Dude is directly responsible for the deaths of a handful of characters we grew to love. I'd rank him higher but I would've been too much of a coward to even head to Europe during World War II. So glass houses and what have you.

5. Walter Peck from Ghostbusters

Peck would probably be higher if he didn't get absolutely destroyed by Dr. Venkman in this scene:

However I do have to tip my cap for pulling off the perfect smug 80s character, which usually required simply being a ginger in a suit.

I'm sure I forgot a billion different other characters from this list so hit up the comments with the worst character missing from my Top 5.

Also, Tuna may be my favorite random character in a movie ever. Vibes for days
