damn you, axminster!
A villain is only truly successful if he:
- Strikes fear into the hearts of his foes
- Is purely bloodthirsty with no remorse
- Is incessantly persistent
- Has an incredible name
Enter Axminster, the unbelievably fantastic arch-nemesis found in the tenth episode of MacGyver's first season. He meets all the necessary enemy criteria and exceeds each in his own hilarious way. Axminster, a deadly assassin who is fond of peanuts, is sent to kill MacGyver in the mountains. He brings only an AK-47-toting posse, a couple of Jeeps, and his finest sunglasses. Despite the name "Axminster" being said at least fifteen times throughout the 50-minute episode, Axminster never returns in a follow-up episode to continue his normal Axminsterish shenanigans. Instead, Murdoc picks up that mantle and does a respectable job. Video after the break...
Without further ado, I present a labor of love: It's Axminster! (high-quality link), a tribute to a character eliminated before his rightful time. The clip compilation is only two minutes long and won't hurt anyone to watch it. Keep in mind that all of the material is copyrighted by Paramount Pictures.
Credits: Axminster is played by D'Mitch Davis, and MacGyver is played by Richard Dean Anderson. Phenomenal actors both.

i should retract the “it won’t hurt anyone to watch it” statement; apparently, the video can give you nightmares.
January 7th, 2009 - 20:09
olo priceless.

A fine video, but I don’t think it proves your point. Damn fine though. Did you edit it together yourself?
January 19th, 2009 - 09:42
Yeah, but I didn’t have to do much…it follows the MacGyver episode pretty closely. Truly an amazing episode. If only they were all such high caliber.

(exhaustedly) Damn you, Axminster.

My partner and I died when we saw this video you made. It was truly perfect. We had just watched the episode “Targe MacGyver” and were confused by the lead villains name: “Did he just call him Axminster?” “Is Axminster even a name?” , etc… and we started laughing EVERY time Axminster was uttered. And when Mac sat on the ground cradling his grandfather and proclaimed: “Damn you Axminster!!” the deal was sealed for us. We couldn’t hear the name without laughing our faces off. We LOL’d when we saw your video. How can I share it?

Ha, well I didn’t upload it to YouTube because I didn’t want Paramount getting mad at me, and I wanted to direct the traffic here. So you can share it on various services by using the little icons immediately below the post, or you can just share a link to this page. You could also download the high-quality version from the link in the post, if you’re interested. Really, there are ways to see the direct URL of the .flv file, which you could embed in a webpage.
Your story is exactly what I was hoping to hear by making this. It’s such an hilarious episode.
