Title: Worst Character Names
Post by: polkablues on November 16, 2013, 02:53:20 PM
Inspired by Prisoners' absolutely ridiculous "Detective Loki," what are some of the worst, stupidest, most unrealistic character names you've seen in a movie?

Some candidates:
Jericho Cane - Arnold Schwartzenegger in End of Days
Dr. Christmas Jones - Denise Richards in The World is Not Enough
Mutt Williams - Shia LeBeouf in The Indiana Jones That Shall Not Be Spoken of Aloud
Shia LeBeouf - Shia LeBeouf in real life
Stacker Pentecost - Idris Elba in Pacific Rim
Spurgeon Tanner - Robert Duvall in Deep Impact
Every character in The Hunger Games

Hey man, Stacker Pentecost is awesome. Within the bizarre world of Pacific Rim of course.

I always thought John Matrix came across as very silly.

John Waters intentionally picks the worst fucking names ever, but I always really hated Francine Fishpaw in Polyester.


Let's never forget Will Smith as Cypher Raige in After Earth...bleh

Oh yeah, Detective Loki in Prisoners, what's the deal with that.

it inspired this thread, but is it a reference to another Loki?
