Walter Day is a douche anyway, his input is void due to obvious bias.. Billy's minions are all worse than him. They are all stuck in a weird little fantasy world. Even if they played up Billy's part he is still who he is. Did you see his wife? That spells insecurity!
Walter seemed alright, but I agree with the rest.

Having said that fair play to him he's loaded and he's got an ace Chuck Norris larger than life type of persona and he DEFINITELY entertains i suppose :p
Great comment! I had a good chuckle at that. When you think about it both Billy and Chuck rock the beards not to mention have similar haircuts! Love it.

All these types of films depend on the editing, and you could tell while watching it that KoK was no exception. Billy is kind of a douche, but the film obviously played that up. My favorite guy is probably that nerdy dude who runs around saying "excuse me, we have a possible Donkey Kong kill screen coming up."

having said that though, I doubt Billy is a Tang Soo Do master somehow eheh :p
