Movie cowards
 
Why is it that some of the most likeable characters in movies are complete cowards?

Some examples:
Hudson (Aliens)
Guy Fleegman (Galaxy Quest)

I guess there is something about a grown man nearly shitting himself is funny under the right circumstances...

Hudson: oh great, this is just fucking great! What are we gonna do now man? What are we gonna do?! We're in some pretty shit now, man!



Guy: I wanna go back.. I wanna wait ont he ship...
Alexander: What? you want go back? After the fuss you put up...

Guy: That's when i thought i was the guiy who gets killed waiting behind on the ship. now im thinking im the guy who dies whithin the first five minutes on theplanet. i dont even have a last name!

Madison: Guy, you have a last name...

Guy: DO I?! DO I?! (starts crying) MOMMY! MOMMY!

lol.. i love those guys...

I never liked Hudson...found him annoying.
Guy, on the other hand, was a funny bastard.

Shaggy and Scoobie. They're cowardly characters, they believe in cowardice and sandwiches

but they always step up to the plate.

i know there are others - minor characters that are the ones that want to 'run away' in the horror movies ...

they usually get killed right away...


i just cant think of any...

I hated that character. For years, I couldn't stand Bill Paxton because of that movie...LOL....he irritated the hell out of me. But I thought he was a funny, sleazy coward in True Lies.:D

Thst little motherfucker in "Versus", got so freaked out he ended up goin' all crazy 'n shit.
I couldn't stop laughing at him though.

the preppy coward in cabin fever almost made it. almost. I always thought fly guy was a coward that tried to act tough. And then Barbra, what a spastic coward. Savini's barbra was a hard core bull dike, zombie slaying machine. Steve Bushimi makes a great coward.

armagedon comes to mind... found him irritating in that film.

Worst of the worst that I was praying he'd get killed sooner:
Franklin, the guy in the wheelchair from 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'. His constant whining (esp over the damn flashlight) grates on me.
