    The joker is an obvious one for his wonderfully flamboyant performance. Well done Heath - you are greatly missed.

    Before I go on to other characters I liked...here's one I hated: Sarah Connor. Both movies. Annoyed the life out of me.

    I thought Leon was a superb character. Original but not very complex.

    And of course...

    Roadhouse.

    The guy who was a pizza slice and ate himself. Can't remember the film. He was on a spaceship.

    and he was pepperoni I think.

    That would be Pizza the Hutt, from Spaceballs. Ate himself to death in the back of his limo, tragic.

    Harry Callaghan

    There is obviously the famous quote:
    I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
    And my favourite quote:
    Harry Callahan: Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy.
    The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?
    Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross!
    [ Harry walks out of the room]
    The Mayor: He's got a point.
