Johnny Quid

Johnny Quid
In Guy Ritchie’s mixed reviewed (though better than anything starring Madonna) film RocknRolla, we have another look at the British organized crime scene. One of the key characters is Johnny Quid, a drugged out wannabe Rock Star. Realistically, the fact that he is a musician is not that relevant to the plot and his music is not exactly featured. Still, we can’t help but cheer on and put someone on the ballot that wants to be a real “RocknRolla”!




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
RocknRolla (2008)

Actor:
Tony Kebbell

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for him:
We have to admit this isn’t relevant, but we loved the Soundtrack.

Why you should not vote for him:
This is an aspiring Rocker, but the fact that he is a musician is not that important.



Johnny Fontaine

Johnny Fontaine
Loosely based on Frank Sinatra, Jonny Fontaine was a nice character in the first Godfather film that was one of the godson’s of Don Vito Corleone. The Godfather assisted Fontaine throughout his career, most notably with the use of severed head in the bed of a movie studio executive. It got him the part, and put the crooner back on top. If you vote for him, we will make you an offer you can’t refuse!




The Bullet Points:
Movies Appeared:
The Godfather (1972)
The Godfather Part III (1990)

Actors:
Al Martino

Songs you might remember:
I Have But One Heart

Why you should vote for him:
Because we will make you an offer you can’t refuse.

Why you should not vote for him:
Does a crooner really belong in our Hall of Fame?

Johnny Fish and the Fins

Johnny Fish and the Fins
A childhood friend of Richie Cunningham, Rocky Rhoads was the leader of Johnny Fish and the Fins, who needed a place to hide from the crowd while they practiced. Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids, who we assume remembered Richie from American Graffiti, where they were under a different name at the sock hop, played them. Small world isn’t it?

Johnny Favorite

mickey-rourke-angel-heart
Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) is hired to track down pre World War II crooner, Johnny Favorite who (spoiler alert) turns out to be himself. We don’t really feel bad about spoiling the major plot twist, as really what this film is mostly known for is the graphic sex scene between Rourke and Lisa Bonet. We know that is why we watched it!




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Angel Heart (1987)

Actor:
Mickey Rourke

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for him:
Because he was with a Cosby kid?

Why you should not vote for him:
Music is irrelevant here.
