John Williams did the soundtrack for so many action/sci-fi movies and used different kinds of classical themes to represent imperial stormtroopers, luke skywalker, etc.
So far as "rich villian" goes, i think it is best expressed in anime and kung fu movies, but you will see it in cowboy movies, crime movies, etc.
In this story the protagonist takes down not just one evil person (say Dirty Harry vs Scorpio) but an entire evil organization.
That organization inevitably has a social hierarchy that goes from bottom to top. The protagonist first beats up the poor bad guys and then beats up the foreman who is paid $2 an hour more for being a little more responsible. Only after beating up the poor criminals does the protagonist get to beat up the person at the top of the conspiracy.
"Lethal Weapon 3" is a great example, but "Sailor Moon" defeats a supernatural invasion that is organized like a military organization with enlisted monsters, lieutenants, generals and Queen Beryl at the top -- it demonstrates how the structure can fold and unfold like an accordion and fit any timebox.
As Men in Black 3 wasn't that great and Star Wars: Episode 3 also had its lengths (don't get me started about Lethal Weapon 3!), we tried to avoid that. Let's see how Ghostbusters 3 will work out and maybe (but just maybe) we'll think about releasing Graylog3. ;-)
