This is a thread for all those that wish to honour true heroes of films

e.g. the star wars chronicles

nearly every time skywalker "young or old" gets into trouble its always little R2D2 that get sthem out of trouble.

so if you have any to add get posting

More often than not it is the "sidekick". In the Matrix it is Trinity, for example (she somehow brings Neo back to life).

yes the sidekicks never get the right amount of praise do they

That is often a point used to add comedy. The main guy is unconscious then the sidekick wins and the main guy gets the medels.

har har har

don't i know it

high comedy value

har har har

Yeah, it's the American in your face "oh look at that" comedy.

another hero is sam from lotr he has to put upwith frodo's moods, that little sh*t gollum, being kidnaped by the rangers of gondor, being chased by the nazgul and if it wasn't for the fact that sauron sent his forces to the black gate he would have to fight his way through hundreds of orcs

yes samwise gamgee is a true unsung hero

Yeah, though I did think Sam was quite a hero when watching the films.

maybe not at the start but as the movie goes on you see has to put up with a lotof stick from other charaters

poor beggar

Yeah, especially the little git known as Gollum/Smeagol.
