Coolest sidekick characters ever.

[Dark Jezter]

Every so often, a movie comes out where we get a "sidekick" character whom we really grow attached to and begin to like (sometimes more than the protagonist). So, who are your favorite "sidekick" characters in the movies you've seen?

Mine would be (in no particular order)...

Subotai: Conan the Barbarian
Chewbacca: Star Wars original trilogy.
Sallah: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Barf: Spaceballs.
Doc Holliday: Tombstone.
Samwise Gamgee: The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Q: 007 series.
Hamish: Braveheart.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Tonto - The Lone Ranger
Athos, Porthos, and Aramis to D'Artagnan in the Three Musketeers
Pip to Flinx
Little John and Tuck to Robin Hood

 

[diaglo]

Pancho.... sidekick for the Cisco Kid

 

[drnuncheon]

Mani in Brotherhood of the Wolf

 

[Mark]

Perhaps, Bruce Lee as Kato in The Green Hornet.

 

[Chaldfont]

Tuco (Eli Wallach) in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. It's Tuco's greed and mouthy smugness that give contrast to Blondie's (Clint Eastwood) hard, quiet and cool demeanor.

 

[Mallus]

Tuco (Eli Wallach) in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.

You mean Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez --known as The Rat?? That's a great call...

Tommy Five-Tone [Danny Aiello] in Hudson Hawk [if only for that fantastic last scene... can you f***ing believe it?!].

Wang and Egg Shen in Big Trouble in Little China.

And arguably not a sidekick at all... Mrs. Peel [Diana Rigg] in The Avengers.

 

[Dagger75]

R2-D2 : The ultimate sidekick

Inigo Montoya: Does he count as a sidekick?

Snails From the D&D movie

 

[TheAuldGrump]

Sancho Panza (Don Quixote)

Jack Burton (Big Trouble in Little China - He never does realize that he's the sidekick...)

Concorde (Monty Python and the Holy Grail 'Message for you sur.')

The Auld Grump

The Auld Grump

Who's he a sidekick to?

Imoen (Baldur's Gate)
