Who is your Little Known Movie Hero?

[jmowreader]

This is an unknown actor in a bit part that you return to over and over.

Mine is Sal the Cocaine Distribution Center Manager in the original Robocop, for telling a potential customer "I don't give a shit what you want to pay. I set the prices."

On days when half the town thinks I'm running the Turkish Bazaar over here, I'll come home from the store, throw in Robocop and page forward to that line. It is a great morale booster.

1. The Motel Owner in "From Dusk Til Dawn"

My favorite scene in the film!

Ding!
Ding!
DING! DING! DING! BANG! BANG BANG
"Im comin' Im comin'...what the HELL you want?"
"What the hell you think I want, I want a room, you mean old bastard"
"...alright, here you go"

2. Jenna Elfman's angel-stripper in "Can't Hardly Wait"

Okay, so this isn't my real answer. But it's the first character to pop into my mind.

3. Well known actor-little known movie

"A Captive in the Land", starring Sam Waterston as Mr. Royce, a meteorologist on his way home from a stint in the Arctic. He looks down at a plane crash, realizes there is a survivor, and convinces the plane crew to allow him to parachute down. Then Royce has two horrible surprises: The plane and survivor turns out to be Russian. And the promised rescue helicopter never comes....and it is 300 miles from nowhere....a wonderful film, one of the first done with Russians after the fall of Communism. I'd recommend it for anyone who would like to see an American acting on his ideals. This film makes you feel good to be American.

4. The Rebel Pilot in ""Return of the Jedi"...

...who when his fighter is crippled and careening out of control gets just enough of a handle on it to fly the doomed craft straight into the bridge of an opposing star destroyer, eventually destroying it from within.

That's a hero! :)

6. Donald Breedan,

the character who was recently paroled and was working at the diner in "Heat."

When he has a chance to regain his dignity and turn his back on being little more than an object of abuse by driving a getaway car he takes it. That it would cost him his just won freedom or his life mattered little when he stood to gain his self respect.

5. Well, Bob Saget isn't an unknown actor,

but his bit part in Half Baked is always good for a chuckle:

"Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke. Now that's an addiction. You ever suck some dick for marijuana?"

7. Tracey Walter as Miller in Repo Man

"John Wayne was a fag"

8. That alien ship captain

in the movie The Last Starfighter. With his ship is out of control and is heading for a collision with a planet's moon his panicked subordinate asks: "What do we do now?"

"We die."
