Characters who only appear after a long wait have a big advantage, especially if everyone has been talking about them. When they finally appear they almost can't help but be impressive.

Kurtz intro is the Harry Lime intro, just even more so.
Morally equivocal — CHECK
Long wait — CHECK
Everyone has done nothing but talk about him all film — CHECK
Emerges from cool shadows — CHECK
Protagonist is eventually going to have to kill him even not really wanting to — CHECK

Here too, sort of (big build-up). Except of course that Kong is not morally equivocal; he is 100% in the right all the time.

Harder to introduce someone cold. You do at least have the mystery factor. Here we get a few earlier hints that Indy is badass (the way he examines the blowpipe dart and drops it and the two guys scramble to look, etc). So there is a BIT of buildup.

Can't remember quite how cold this one is. I think they have mentioned her a couple of times, so there is a bit of anticipation but not that much.

Quint in Jaws gets a pretty good cold intro.

Not sure it counts as a character. Not much personality. On the other hand it's less annoying than Laura Dern, so . . .

Ray Liotta's introduction 1 hour into SOMETHING ELSE while Loveless Love by the Feelies is playing will always be my #1.
The way he just hijacks the movie like a demented goblin from Hell.

Omar Sharif in Lawrence of Arabia is pretty famous. Ride out of the desert, shoot someone dead, leave.
