Top 5 Movie Nicknames
02-01-2012
To qualify, we had to know the character’s actual name in the movie (so Harmonica from Once Upon a Time in the West doesn’t count). It can’t be an alter ego (sorry Batman, Neo and Johnny Dangerously) or a legit name change (Dirk Diggler). No code names: Joker from Full Metal Jacket, or anyone from Top Gun. And no names given by the press, but not used to address the actual person – such as Leatherface or Buffalo Bill.Top 5
