What about RE-introductions?

Not only did the Tom Hank's classic "Bachelor Party" gives us NIck, but who could forget Milt and the first time we meet him.

Don’t remember how he was introduced exactly but it doesn’t matter…

One of the greatest, most feared characters of all time.

Introduce him anyway you like….

Vader is the answer.

Since that one was taken, I will submit our introduction to Bluto, who then introduces us to Delta house:

The Duke appearing on the horizon.  For the first few thousand years of our existence, approaching people were just specs on the horizon, and you had a lost of time to wonder who was coming.

 

Here's 5, my personal favorite is Hondo.

For my money (and John Goodman is one of my favorite all-timers):

 

Not his actual intro though.  THAT scene is awesome for several reasons.

The winner might actually be Quint/Shaw scratching his fingernails on the chalkboard in Jaws but I offer this submission based on the actor and his meaning to this fanbase:

I'll go a little subtler. The great Robert Mitchum's entry in the original Cape Fear. Cady introduces one of the most interesting characters in film to me. Part of me, as a male, admires how tough, cunning, and smooth he is. Part of me is repulsed by his easy slip into brutality (although I wish I were capable of that should a moment require it). He's brilliant.

Anyway, the opening of the movie has an attractive woman overloaded with books. She struggles along and Cady appears on screen at right in a long shot. That confident swagger. As the woman attempts the stairs to the court house (I think that's where it is) we move in closer. Cady goes the same direction she does. At last, she fumbles the books. Cady strides on by without a second look.

He just doesn't give a fuck. That's also one of his last lines in the movie. He terrified me when I first saw this as a boy. For me, he's one of the most memorable characters in film. As an actor, he so effortlessly conveys quiet, confident masculinity. He's a fucking man.

This kind of brief intro to a character with no words is the best when it works. Lector stepping up from the back of his cell is brilliant as well. That's every element of filmmaking working together: set design, photography, script, director, costume, and actor are perfect in a second like that.

I enthuse. Apologies.

It's Vader and then everyone else.  Even that dog knew it.

He first scene he filmed was the “Alright alright alright” at the drive in. Adlibbed.  Perfect for Wooderson and made the movie.

Bob Mitchum, after his “muggles” arrest, had a nice run playing similar characters. Cape Fear was one of those films my parents let me watch and fuel nightmares.

im not where i can load a clip, but his character in Night of the Hunter is equally chilling and even more scary as he hunts these two poor children.  Anyone who hasn’t watched these two films should as they are masterpieces of film noir terror.

Yep. She was 48 there.  I think Nancy Allen was a double.  I believe it was genuine Angie Dickinson in Big Bad Mama.
