Carbon Costume Men
Flint Lockwood
Flint Lockwood is an inventor who just wants to prove himself to everyone in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Unfortunately no one really understands his inventions or find them useful – that is until he develops the FLDSMDFR. But with his track record of failed inventions, it’s not long before it starts raining oversized mutated foods.
Malcolm Reynolds
Mal Reynolds is the captain of the Serenity crew in the Firefly series. Despite his tough guy exterior, he really has a heart of gold. He helps River and Simon Tam hide from the Alliance, even if it means putting himself and his crew in danger.
Les Grossman
You may not have caught it, but in Tropic Thunder, Tom Cruise cameos as studio exec Les Grossman. He’s brash, foul-mouthed, hot-headed, and has dirty dance moves. He also has the hairiest, meatiest forearms you’ll ever see.
Risky Business
In Risky Business, when high schooler Joel Goodson (Tom Cruise) is left home alone, he promptly raids the liquor cabinet, and then starts dancing and lip syncing to “Old Time Rock and Roll”. No pants, no mic, no problem.
Ziggy Stardust
David Bowie took fashion to a new level when he unveiled his alter-ego Ziggy Stardust. Part rock star, part alien-being, it takes more than just a colorful unitard and elaborate makeup to pull off this look. You need the confidence to go along with it. Of course, it also doesn’t hurt if you can sing.
Jareth the Goblin King
Jareth (David Bowie) is the Goblin King who is summoned by Sarah to take her infant brother away. He gives Sarah a chance to get her brother back if she can make it through the Labyrinth. Along the way he distracts her with song and dance but it’s his choice of pants that distracts viewers.
Macho Man Randy Savage
Macho Man Randy Savage wore a variety of colorful costumes during his career as a professional wrestler. From his tassel covered suits and cowboy hats to the simple star covered pink trunks, the raspy voiced entertainer was always a sight to behold. Even if you’re not a fan of wrestling you’re probably guilty of saying “Snap into a Slim Jim” at least once while passing a Slim Jim display. It’s okay, we’ve all done it. Ooooh yeah!
