This chart already got an automatic win from me for Walken in general, but it gets a double extra win for your including him as Hickey in “Last Man Standing.”

(“You wouldn’t shoot an unarmed man in the back, would you?”)

I’m glad to see that someone besides me liked ‘Hairspray’. It was a very well-made, enjoyable movie that didn’t get nearly enough press.

Nice.

Great work, but the image seems cut off at the bottom when I click to see the full version.

MGK said on March 27th, 2012 at 11:01 am

Try refreshing. It’s working fine from what I can see.

Perfect Nick quote.

I’d swap out Max Schrek for Vincenzo Coccotti from “True Romance”.

“I’m the anti-Christ and you’ve got me in a vendetta kind of mood.”

Have you seen Suicide Kings? Where would you put his character from there? LE? NE?

drmedula said on March 27th, 2012 at 11:52 am

But what of… The Continental?

Cookie McCool said on March 27th, 2012 at 12:02 pm

This makes me so happy. Might I respectfully suggest Dennis Hopper as a subject, if you were bored?

BringTheNoise said on March 27th, 2012 at 12:34 pm

Excuse me for being dumb, but what film is Chaotic Evil from?

MGK said on March 27th, 2012 at 12:37 pm

Nick of Time.

Rbx5 said on March 27th, 2012 at 2:04 pm

@MGK: Maybe it’s just me, but I’m still getting this weird grey bar that obscures the bottom of the NE and CE quotes for some reason.

Rbx5 said on March 27th, 2012 at 2:05 pm

Though in the thumbnail it looks fine.

This is fantastic but I am shocked and scandalized by the lack of his incomparable performance as the Archangel Gabriel.

“I’m an angel. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls, and from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence is never understanding why.”

I mean, come on.

The problem is that Walken played Gabriel for three movies and there is, to say the least, character drift.

CG is Catch Me If You Can, right?

Jeff said on March 27th, 2012 at 2:57 pm

Where would you place the Blue Oyster Cult producer?

jidasfire said on March 27th, 2012 at 3:01 pm

I would also have accepted Walken as MacDuff from Scotland, PA as the LG entry.

Ben said on March 27th, 2012 at 3:33 pm

IMHO:
Suicide Kings Walken was NE, because in perspective, Leary was LE.

The Continental would be Chaotic Neutral, as he’s just not sinister enough to actually cross the moral event horizon.

The real question is Walken’s alignment in the SNL Census Taker skit?

Christian Williams said on March 27th, 2012 at 8:29 pm

@Ben

Ironically that’s exactly why I asked. Because I started to slide towards Walken as being LE and then thought about Leary’s character.. and then started to wonder about a Leary alignment chart (but you’d need Chaotic Horny for Tommy Gavin on Rescue Me).

The Crazed Spruce said on March 27th, 2012 at 8:49 pm

I’m seriously disappointed in myself. I only recognize two-thirds of them. (Though I can make a fair guess on Lawful Good. Still stuck on Lawful Evil and Chaotic Evil, though.)

Saidi said on March 27th, 2012 at 9:07 pm

mmhhh… The Headless horseman is more of a chaotic neutral I’d say

Prankster said on March 27th, 2012 at 10:02 pm

LG: Hairspray
NG: The Dead Zone
CG: Catch Me If You Can (I think)
LN: Pulp Fiction
TN: Sleepy Hollow
CN: The Deer Hunter
LE: Last Man Standing
NE: Batman Returns
CE: Nick of Time

Prankster said on March 27th, 2012 at 10:04 pm

The Headless Horseman is true neutral, because he obeys whoever has his head. (Though he definitely seems to want to do evil stuff if given the slightest opportunity. And it’s hard to imagine a good guy making use of him. So I would have bought Lawful Evil.)

PaulW said on March 27th, 2012 at 10:12 pm

Walken is not confined to any one morality.

Mitchell Hundred said on March 27th, 2012 at 10:12 pm

You guys all know that you can find out which movie is which by mousing over the chart, right? The alt-text has an entire list cataloging them.

Which is not to denigrate the people who recognize each and every one of these films. There’s just a quicker way to find out than asking.

Mitchell Hundred said on March 27th, 2012 at 10:16 pm

Also, seeing one of these for Samuel L. Jackson would be pretty boss.

Jack said on March 28th, 2012 at 12:58 am

Mitchell Hundred,

I fill incredibly stupid now. Thanks for that.

Thok said on March 28th, 2012 at 6:58 am

Where would you place the Blue Oyster Cult producer?

True Neutral, although True Cowbell and Cowbell Neutral are also acceptable.

Cyrus said on March 28th, 2012 at 8:36 am

The Headless Horseman was definitely some kind of evil before he died, when he was a brutal and feared mercenary and filed his teeth to points to be even more feared. I guess you could make the argument that he’s TN after death because he just serves whoever has his head, but (a) “serving” means “terrorizing and killing their enemies”, and that fits Lawful Evil at least as well, and (b) it just plain seems weird to suggest that someone could move up the alignment chart by becoming undead.

Ben said on March 28th, 2012 at 12:54 pm

@Cyrus, Would you accept fundead?

Keaton said on March 28th, 2012 at 5:27 pm

His role in the Weapon of Choice video is clearly the best choice for True Neutral.

Kid Kyoto said on March 28th, 2012 at 10:16 pm

I was once stuck on an actors name and said ‘the evil guy who’s always evil.

Everyone knew I meant Christopher Walken.

Is there some way to see a complete list of all the Alignment Charts? 🙂

The Unstoppable Gravy Express said on March 29th, 2012 at 9:21 am

(actually it turns out clicking “D&D Explains Everything” pretty much does it)
