Jesus Quintana from The Big Lebowski
In The Big Lebowski, Jesus Quintana (played by John Turturro) is a bowler who competes against the Dude, Walter, and Donny. Jesus’ personality is flamboyant and over-the-top, highlighted by his bright purple wardrobe. While Jesus wears a one-piece purple jumpsuit, a similar look can be created using track pants and a polo shirt, while allowing for greater comfort and ease when nature calls. If you have to go against someone in bowling it might as well be “The Jesus”. His choice of jumpsuits and bowling ball shining skills make him, at the very least, an entertaining opponent.
Ernie McCracken
In Kingpin, Bill Murray plays Ernie “Big Ern” McCracken, a professional bowler who’ll backstab anyone to get ahead including bowling prodigy Roy Munson. That rose bowling ball is his gravy train with biscuit wheels.
Tiffany Maxwell
In Silver Linings Playbook, Tiffany Maxwell (Jennifer Lawrence) is a recent widow going through a meltdown when she meets Pat Jr. You might say that her wardrobe is bipolar — part Hot Topic, part Foot Locker.
Pat Jr. from Silver Linings Playbook
In Silver Linings Playbook, Bradley Cooper plays Patrick “Pat Jr.” Solitano, a man suffering from bipolar disorder. After he’s released from the mental health facility, he moves in with his parents and gets back in the groove by rooting for the Eagles, entering dance competitions, and wearing trash bags.
Calvin Candie
Calvin Candie, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, holds Django’s wife Broomhilda captive. As the owner of Candyland Plantation, his cruelty simmers under the mask of good manners, charming personality, and a sweet tooth.
Candyman
Sometime after the Civil War, Candyman is attacked by a lynch mob that cuts off his hand and sets bees to sting him to death. If you chant “candyman” five times while looking in the mirror, he’ll appear in his fabulous fur-trimmed coat and murder you with his hook hand. Fortunately, it’s just an urban legend…
Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter
Steve Irwin, also known as the Crocodile Hunter, was the vivacious Australian host of a wildlife TV series. On the show, he showed his love of animals by pissing off crocodiles, snakes, and other critters.
Grizzly Man
Timothy Treadwell was an amateur naturalist and bear enthusiast who spent 13 summers living with grizzly bears in Alaska. His life’s work has been documented by film maker Werner Herzog in the film Grizzly Man.
Selina Kyle as Catwoman
In the Dark Knight Rises, Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) is a cat burglar who’s cunning enough to steal from Batman. Here you can dress in the Catwoman guise or go more low key for the getaway.
Commissioner Gordon
James Gordon (Gary Oldman) is the commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department and confidante to Batman. He should be managing from police headquarters, but he’s always the first to don a SWAT vest and down into the sewers.
