7.1

Carl Weathers

APOLLO CREED

Legendary Character from a LEGENDARY Film. I can't think of a more diametric character to any hero ever! All the while remaining likeable!

Heracles's rating:

Robert Duvall

COLONEL KILGORE

" You can either surf, or you can fight! "

"You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end.."

I don't think I need to add to that!

Heracles's rating:

7.1

Sylvester Stallone

LINCOLN HAWK

What can I say; The whole point of this character was that he could arm wrestle. Before breaking rivals arms with pure strength he dazzled them with his name!

Heracles's rating:

7.4

Matthew McConaughey

LT. VAN ZAN

I HATE HATE HATE HATE McCONAUGHEY But Denton Van Zan is so legendary he can't be ruled out.

Sure he sacrifices himself needlessly but who gives a shit. The final leap is historic!

Heracles's rating:

6.1

Anthony Ray Parker

DOZER

Despite being written out of the next two matrices, I still yearn for the nickname of DOZER!!!!

Heracles's rating:

6.4

Leo Gregory

BOVVA

Green Street's BOVVA is a complete legendary name in this film. Loathing, Hate, Thugishness, Trouble and Awkwardness summed up in his name!

Heracles's rating:

7.3

Keanu Reeves

JOHNNY UTAH

I don't think you have a soul if you don't appreciate Point Break in some way. This was Keanu before he was sulky and depressed. Great casting and a great name!

Heracles's rating:

4.4

Dominique Louis

BOMB VOYAGE

Classic, the combination of Bon Voyage and a Bomber! WHO KNEW!

Heracles's rating:

6.9

John Leguizamo

BENNY BLANCO 'from da Bronx'

I love this film, I hate this character, I love this name!

Heracles's rating:

In a recent stint of movie watching mania it occurred to me that there have been some purely inspirational character names, here is a list of ten of my favourite sobriquets, ranks & birth rites the silver screen has slipped into our subconsciousness.
