Considering the audio tape, released yesterday, depicting Christian Bale on a blistering tirade against a crew member on his Terminator film set, it seems more and more likely that the Dark Knight star did in fact assault his mother and sister in London last July, charges that were later dropped for lack of evidence. Bale's anger seems darker and deeper seated than most, but don't think for a second he's the only guy in Hollywood with a problem temper. After the jump, a video gallery of famous ragers and their rash acts.
