This may have been done before, but I searched and didnt see it.

Is there a bigger "ruined everything" character in a movie than Corporal Upham (Saving Private Ryan)?

Was watching American Made and JB's character definitely caused some havoc, but its hard to imagine anyone being a complete waste of life more than Upham

I like that one..

Just sitting here thinking:

1. Affleck's baby mama from The Town was the only reason they ruined a pretty solid heist plan

2. Henry Hill's nanny and mistress are a pretty good 1-2 for fricking everything up in Goodfellas

Nah. That family thought that they would be happy without that Truecoat. He saved them from disaster.

Man I was thinking about Waingros..

But they were pretty much free and clear, and Deniro turned around to go settle the score

Waingro fricked the whole deal up. Set up Danny trejo with Van Sant so they had to get the new driver and the rest had to just play out.

Nevermind killing the guard on the first job that attracted the heat to begin with.
