here is the problem with Peter Stegman as a Complete Monster.. his actions qualify him but his acting is another matter.

the film is very over the top and campy, thus the villains are like early comic book / "pulp" era bad guys.. Peter, being the meanest of the bad guys.. is made even more ridiculous and spends a lot of his time mugging the camera, sneering and performing melodramatic lines worthy of junior supervillains.

While Stegman is a nasty character the film has notably dated and its style is rather amusing.. thus Stegman's threat becomes weaker as we see him as what he is : a product of a certain era of cinema where over the top acting was the norm and bad guys acted.. well.. rather silly.
