Villains Beginning With 'E'
Eric Qualen
Cliffhanger film (1993)
Gabe Walker, a climber, who loses his confidence after a rescue goes wrong, resulting in the death of his friend's girlfriend. Gabe is then called back to perform a final rescue by his ex-girlfriend and overcomes his inner demons to help the bitter ex-friend with the rescue.
During the rescue, the two climbers are taken prisoner by ruthless thieves, lead by Eric Qualen, who stole (but subsequently lost) $100 million belonging to the US Treasury. These thieves carried out a daring airplane-to-airplane transfer of the funds; but, during the transfer, a gun battle among them led to the loss of the money and the crash of the planes. The suitcases holding the money had beacon locators. Because the money was lost in mountainous territory, the rescue climbers are taken prisoner and coerced into locating the money.
After the thieves bring along Gabe's friend to find the money after thinking Gabe was dead, Gabe and his ex-girlfriend attempt to get to each case before the thieves. The first case, Gabe has already disposed of by throwing the money off the cliff and scattering it everywhere. The second case, he makes a snowman, makes the tracker the mouth, and leaves only one bill in the case which he has written on, "Want to trade?". Next, it shows Gabe and his girlfriend making a fire out of the bills and saying, "Costs a fortune to heat this place." On the next case, Gabe somehow plants the tracker on a rabbit so that the thieves are bumbling around the mountainside going after what they think is the case of money.
Eric Qualen eventually captures Gabe's girlfriend after several of his men have been killed on the way, and uses her to trade for the cash. Gabe outsmarts him and what proceeds is a fight atop of a upside down dangling helicopter, resulting in Eric being killed when the copter falls and explodes.
