The trick to writing really good villain dialogue? Say it out loud in an Northern Irish accent. If it still sounds menacing, you're onto a winner.
For example:
"They hate our way of life!"
Becomes:
"Dey hayte orr way off loife!"
Still makes me uneasy, so I know it passes muster.

If your have a character being held at gunpoint or otherwise a prisoner, and don't know how to get them out of that situation, just make the person holding them have a serious epileptic seizure.
Worked for 12YAS, worked in The Fugitive.

My first contribution to this thread is as follows: don't be afraid to describe or implement poop if sorely needed via narrative. Everybody shits, man. If they don't they gotta learn how. Shitting is a part of everyday life. In a sewer? It's gonna be shitty so don't hold back on the horrid methane/sulfur smells. In a medieval city? Describe those shit in them streets! Describe how the smell makes the nobility throw up and dogs roll in it, and if the main character is nailing a prostitute in a brothel, he has to painstakingly suppress the fact that the babe directly below him has shit covered feet due to the environment of taverns and medieval streets.
Shit! It's everywhere, so don't be afraid of it!
