Favorite Character Name

[neilly 105]

I was going to just call this the Favorite Nic Cage Character Name; but, I think this needs to be broadened. Call out some epic character names.

 

Nic Cage in Gone In Sixty Seconds: Memphis Raines

 

That's pretty bad ass!

[PlanBFromOuterSpace 3138]

I'm sticking with John Matrix, the Arnold Schwarzenegger character from "Commando"!

[Lando 2019]

I'm having a hard time thinking of a better one than Chev Chelios

[Skeevins 322]

Of all time? Jacuzzi Splot from an anime called "Baccano!"

 

From live action movies? Tequila Sunrise, Chow Yun-fat's character from Hard Boiled.

[JamesCrackCorn 33]

Steven Seagal in Attack Force: Marshall Lawson

I thought this was a thread about our favorite names that the gang has given movie characters. In which case I would say Hubcap & Turkey Sandwich.

in that same vein, Baby Helen Hunt

[PhillipMedoc 648]

Hubcap & Turkey Sandwich.

My memory is terrible; which one was that?

On The Line. And by the way guys, it was a Turkey Sub.

 

Based mainly in HDTGM films, I'd say my top three are Lincoln Hawk (Seriously, that must be Stallone's best name), Ophelia Powers and Guy LaFarge

Wasn't that Birdemic?

[neilly 105]

My bad, that was On The Line.

[Blueman29X 72]

Just off the top of my head Jacob Wolf comes to mind.

[SlidePocket 707]

Probably my favorite character name from just recently is Cypher Raige from "After Earth", played by Will Smith.

[Kickpuncher 5012]

I just found out that Ethan Hawke's character in Getaway is named Brent Magna.

I just found out that Ethan Hawke's character in Getaway is named Brent Magna.

That made me think of the ULTIMATE Hawke, which would be Jan-Michael Vincent's Stringfellow Hawke, from TV's "Airwolf" (sounds familiar...). If this was a contest, it would now be over.

speaking of nick cage movies, peter stormare's character has one of my favorite movie names ever, Dino Velvet

[ADoer 11]

HDTGM fave: Stallone as 'Lincoln Hawke(s)'

 

I want to punch something when I think of John Travolta and/or Nick Cage as 'Castor Troy'

 

Something bothers me about what I assumed was a Hollywood writer inventing the name 'Cole Trickle' for Tom Cruise's NASCAR guy in that racing movie.

That is a good one, but he WAS playing a porn director. It might seem a bit more ridiculous if he was a mailman or something.

[IHugKittens 53]

Lincoln Hawk (Seriously, that must be Stallone's best name)

 

That and Marion Cobretti.

Another amazing HDTGM name is Battlefield Earth's Jonnie Goodboy Tyler.

Jean-Claude Van Damme also has a ton of silly character names, if I had to pick just one that would probably be Chance Bordeaux from Hard Target.

[PhillipMedoc 648]

I said it in the Vampire In Brooklyn thread, but Angela Bassett's partner in that movie is named Detective Justice.

"What kind of name is chance?"

"Well...my momma took one."
