Jab’s Builds! (Lawnmower Man! Samus Aran! Metroids!)

also Vincent Price is the best in anything.

There are five episodes of Batman where Egghead was the lead villain that disagree with that statement.

maybe, but Masque of the Red Death and the Tingler counter that. Add in Witchfinder General and it's a blowout.

Right, the deadly internet game of Jai alai. Huh. Learn something new every day.

"Mr. Flynn! How are you today? Perhaps you could put in a good word for me with your friend, Tron?"

LOL- so I’m getting sweet, sweet comment sustenance, but only for the thing I DIDN'T build . What, no Roger Rabbit fans in this joint?

[Ares]

I'll have stuff to say once I get home.

Bob Hoskins was quite a big name here in Britain, I don't know which roles made him so famous though. I'd say most people under a certain age will probably know him best as Smee in Hook.

-Roger is basically a collection of numerous Cartoon Tropes of the Golden Age of Animation, being a clueless guy who bad things tend to happen to- effectively a Goofy-styled character. However, he's got a good heart and is one of the bigger stars in Toontown- meaning that some people think it's his WIFE who married up, and not HIM. Guys like Roger are tough, because they lack a lot of skills, and are COMICALLY stupid, yet are likeable enough to certain types. He has a collection of Toon Powers that make him quite a bit more expensive than he normally would be, particularly Immortality, Regeneration, lower size, Insubstantial ("but only when it's FUNNY") and the ability to spaz out and wreck stuff if he drinks liquor.

About the Performer: Charles Fleischer is primarily a voice actor, and did Roger, Benny the Cab, and two of the Weasels in this picture. His live-action stuff is usually minor roles in horror pictures, though he was Carvelli on Welcome Back, Kotter.

[HalloweenJack]

there just better be ALOOOOOOOOOOT of Jessica pics.

[Arkrite]

Interesting little details: In Eddie's office during a sweeping shot of the desk you will see a picture indicating that he, his brother and his father all worked at the Ringling Bros And Barnum & Bailey Circus. As clowns.
You also get a quick shot of a police photo which indicates him and his brother became cops at the same time as somebody captioned the shot: "New Clowns on the Beat".
If you look really close you'll see the red clown noses.

And, but the looks of it, the only cartoon related stuff you see in Eddie's office? Appears to be a Betty Boop doll.

The director of the movie had him on set so that he could at least say his lines when Bob was talking with Roger.
So of course the Director demanded that they make Charles a "Roger Rabbit" costume.
It looks just as ridiculous as it sounds.Actually it's more ridiculous than it sounds.
And it sounds like Charles wore it every day.

[HalloweenJack]

yeah Roger was in Demon Knight

Responsibility ("I'm not bad... I'm just DRAWN that way")- Jessica looks like a classic Bad Girl from a detective thiller, and as such has trouble convincing Eddie Valiant that she's on the up-and-up. Her tremendous... "assets" also make other women distrust her on sight. Might be due to how men act when they're around her.

Total: Abilities: 30 / Skills: 24--12 / Advantages: 9 / Powers: 57 / Defenses: 10 (118)

-Has any character in history EVER had a better entrance that Jessica Rabbit going through a curtain BOOBS FIRST and singing Why Don't You Do Right? while doing the "tease the men in the audience" thing? Like, what better introduction could any character ever have?

-Jesica Rabbit is basically what happens when you take all the pervy animators in the world and force them to create the hottest woman ever- she's so exaggeratedly hot that she goes from grotesque and unnatural to super-hawt again, no matter HOW bizarre her anatomy really is when you look at it. Scientific studies have basically proven that men are naturally attracted to an hourglass shape no matter HOW exaggerated it is. She has an exaggerated Veronica Lake look, with the bang hiding one eye, her giant eyelids nearly closing off her green eyes, and her tiny, sultrily-curled mouth. Her legs are ludicrously long, her waist is ludicrously tiny, her ribcage puts her chest WAY out, and her prodigious bosom bounces in the opposite direction most women's would, giving it an iconic "bounce". All in all, it could be grotesque, but totally works as an exaggerated version of the hotties old animators used to draw. The fact that the movie is full of jokes about how hot she is ("nice Booby Trap") to fit its PG rating is all the better. Also, KATHLEEN TURNER.

-Jessica is also a classic Bad Girl from the Noir movies, but averts it in the end. Her dark, sultry looks make her appear threatening, and the way she effortlessly flirts with men to the point of destroying their psyches could easily have made her the perfect villain. Thankfully, she avoids all that, because she truly DOES love her idiotic husband, much to the surprise/chagrin of all the men around her. Stuff like this is what gives false hope to dorks everywhere .

-Jessica isn't an elite fighter, and has little to her in combat aside from being very athletic (and able to move pretty quickly in heels). Overall, her build (and WHAT a build!) reflects a standard Film Noir Dame, but for her staggering hawtness- she is so hot that she can bring an entire room to a drooling state just by tawking in- a Reaction Perception Area Affliction that slowly Fades (since people sorta get used to her... somehow).

About the Performer: Kathleen Turner is an iconic sex symbol of days past, and has the corresponding downturn in roles after she turned, say, about 35. Her lusty, deep, growly voice became an instant eye-opener, and makes her PERFECT for any sexpot role (and also works for aged characters, like Malibu Stacy's creator on The Simpsons)- nude work in Body Heat turned her into one the most sought-after people of the '80s and early '90s, and pretty much set off the whole "Sex Movie" craze in Hollywood, which Sharon Stone would later capitalize on. She once boasted that "on a night when I feel really good about myself, I can walk into a room, and if a man doesn't look at me, he's probably gay." A bad case of arthritis did major damage to her career in the '90s, as the resulting alcoholism and medication did a number on her looks- she notes that in her forties, "I started getting offers to play mothers and grandmothers".
