[@jpronan8757]

Daniel Craig plays a nameless character in Layer Cake, I'm surprised he didn't make it on the list considering his last line in the film is "my name? If you know that you know more than me" he even broke the fourth wall while saying it.

Great- and thanks to KZbin's mishandling, this comment spoiled the list! * * This is KZbin's fault, not yours- I had to comment about it publicly, however...

[@grf15]

No. He's called "Joe" in the first movie because all Americans are Joe to Mexicans. Have you never heard of GI Joe? He's "Blondie" in the third movie, because that's his nickname. (You don't believe Van Cleef's character is really named "Angel Eyes" do you? In the 2nd movie, he's Manco, and the Sherriff should know since he paid him and would need his name in his records. @@joshuawoodbridge6267

[@johnseelinger9803]

The 2004 movie "The Polar Express" has tons of nameless characters. The main's protagonist's name is never revealed, he's only called the Hero Boy, and the only names in the movie that you get to know of are Santa Claus, Sarah (who's the main protagonist's sister), and Billy, that little boy who got on the train after the Hero Boy did. The boy with glasses is called the Know-It-All kid. Another unnamed movie character who was not on the list was Bane from "The Dark Knight Rises." Bruce tries to find out more about Bane's past and when he's in the pit, he thought he learns more when he was told about a child who escaped the pit, Bruce thought the child was Bane but was revealed to be Talia al Ghul. Bane's real name is never revealed, and you never get to see what's under his mask. You only get to know that Bane suffered a terrible injury, and the mask holds the pain at bay, but his injury is never shown. The movie "The Forbidden Kingdom" has a monk who's never named, he's only credited as the Silent Monk, even though he does speak.

The Polar Express [2004 Film] was Ahead of its Time in Terms of Technology, it Uses Motion-Capture Technology; Even Before Motion-Capture Technology Became MainStream at that Time!, Especially Motion-Capture Technology was Used in [the Production of] the 2018 Video Game Named Detroit Become Human!

Probably because it’s considered Christopher Nolan’s worst movie by most people.

[@SpliceDiaries]

There's also "the girl" from a classic old Hollywood comedy film called Sullivan's Travels and she played a rather key role in the protagonists, John l. Sullivan's journey into self discovery, as he tries to pull off an experiment in becoming a hobo in an attempt to make the most dramatic movie he would ever make in his career as a film director.

The Character From V for Vendetta Creeped Me Out

[@joshuawoodbridge6267]

You should read the Comic, he's actually supposed to be kindof a villian who had good moments, more than a hero who occasionally slips up

[@stone-hand]

I, tío, suggest you to read the comic. The character is pretty complex and nuanced, and the movie simplifies things a lot - sometimes for necessity. For example, in the comic it is not completely a given that it is a man, but once the movie uses Hugo Weaving's voice that shard of ambiguity vanishes. Also, the relationship between V and Eve has almost no romantic overtones - being more a sort of political apprenticeship - which makes Eve's "prison arch" slightly less rap-eish.
