Coolest sidekick characters ever.

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

Donkey from Shrek and Shrek 2.

Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap.

Not a movie, but has to be mentioned: George Costanza.

 

[Arbiter of Wyrms]

Johnathon, from The Mummy and The Mummy Returns.

This assumes that Evie and Ardeth Bey are full-fledged PCs, rather than sidekicks to Rick.

 

[Tonguez]

Nanny Ogg (for Granny Weatherwax - Pratchett)

Damn don't ever let Nanny Ogg hear you calling her a sidekick

thats like say Carrot is the sidekick to Vimes

 

[TheAuldGrump]

Damn don't ever let Nanny Ogg hear you calling her a sidekick

thats like say Carrot is the sidekick to Vimes

Actally she realizes it - part of her job is to keep Esme Weatherwax from going too deep into the black... annoying her just enough to keep her distracted.

The Auld Grump, Egg Shen is the hero in BTiLC.

What TheAuldGrump said above. And arguably Carrot is a sidekick to Vimes. Consider who usually gets to be the protagonist out of those two. Carrot's too good to be able to deal with everything. When you need to take out a crazy werewolf, you don't call the guy who tries to box him in a gentlemanly fashion - you call old Stoneface.

Few more great Pratchett sidekicks:

Death of Rats & Quoth the Raven
The Librarian
Rob Anybody
Detritus
Nobby and Colon

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

The Luggage, naturally
Doc Holliday from Gunfight at O.K. Corral, with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas. One of my favorite movies of all time.

EDIT: And Death of Rats.

Yes I realise the 'relationship' between Gytha and Esme but its hardly one of Sidekickitude (Magrat and Agnes are more the Sidekick to both of them, possibly even Greebo)

but anyway more great Pratchett sidekicks:

Albert (thats 3 sidekicks for Death)
Gaspode the Wonderdog
Lu Tze (don't forget rule number 1)

 

[Retro-Rocket]

Some great sidekicks

Sherlock Holmes' Doctor Watson
Elric's Moonglum
Indiana Jones' Sallah
Master Kao Li's Number Ten Ox

 

[Krieg]

D'oh!

All in good fun.

The Auld Grump, Egg Shen is the hero in BTiLC.

Wang Chi was the hero. He rescued and got the girl.

Oh, and for the record...

Dynomutt Dog Wonder is by far the coolest sidekick of them all!
