Deuce Bigelow (although I can't stand Rob Scheider) Grand Moff Tarkin (just a wierd name) Rooster Cogburn (one of the greatest character names of all time) There are more but that's the best I can come up with off the top of my head Title: Re: MEMORABLE CHARACTER NAMES IN MOVIES Post by: Paquita on January 20, 2011, 06:37:16 PM Captain Horatio Hornblower!
I've never actually seen the movie(s?) and I know the name is based on a character from books. I like that name. Title: Re: MEMORABLE CHARACTER NAMES IN MOVIES Post by: akiratubo on January 20, 2011, 07:00:54 PM Clarence Boddiker.

Roddy Piper's character in They Live (Memorable because nothing exists to remember!) Pennywise/It from It John Matrix from Commando Title: Re: MEMORABLE CHARACTER NAMES IN MOVIES Post by: BoyScoutKevin on January 25, 2011, 06:49:14 PM Not totally original for the screen, as they were originally created by Ian Fleming for his James Bond novels, but I always thought some of the most memorable character names were in the James Bond films.
"Live and Let Die" Mr. Big Tee Hee Johnson "Goldfinger" Auric Goldfinger Oddjob and the great p***y Galore. Title: Re: MEMORABLE CHARACTER NAMES IN MOVIES Post by: American_Jedi on January 28, 2011, 05:40:24 AM Call me "Snake" Plisken, Indiana Jones, BOND, JAMES BOND, "Nuke" Laloosh, Hubert "Bad-Hair" Wimberly, Roy "Tin-Cup" McCavoy, Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Raoul Duke, SFPD Det. Harry Callahan, "Chappy" Sinclair, Egon Spengler, Dr. Richard Kimball, Michael you can call me "Mike" Bolton....etc., etc....
I could go on forever. However, I'll bet nobody's heard of Hubert "Bad-Hair" Wimberly before but DAMN if that ain't a $20.00 handle huh?? :teddyr: Title: Re: MEMORABLE CHARACTER NAMES IN MOVIES Post by: AndyC on January 29, 2011, 09:26:22 AM Shatner's character from Kingdom of the Spiders, Robert "Rack" Hansen.
Several Characters from It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Most memorable for me were "Smiler" Grogan, Captain Culpepper, Benjy Benjamin and Dingy Bell. Same for Dr. Strangelove - Generals Jack D. Ripper and Buck Turgidson, President Merkin Muffly, Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, Premier Dmitri Kissoff, Major "King" Kong, Bat Guano, and the titular Dr. Strangelove. Title: Re: MEMORABLE CHARACTER NAMES IN MOVIES Post by: Dan on January 29, 2011, 01:13:12 PM I've always liked "John Constantine".
And From Dusk Till Dawn's "Sex Machine".
