10 More Horror Movie Heroes Everyone Forgets About

10. Robert Morse - Alien 3

The unsung hero of David Fincher's Alien 3 comes in the unlikely form of prison inmate Robert Morse (Danny Webb) - and, of all the rapists and murderers among them, he's not even one of the more amenable ones.

After Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) crash lands on Fiorina 161, a wasteland planetoid inhabited by inmates-turned-monks from the planet's abandoned maximum security prison, she is brought face-to-face with her worst nightmare once again as another plague of xenomorphs descends, and the remaining men are picked off one-by-one. Down to a last few inmates, it is up to Ripley and her unlikely companions to ensure the creatures don't get off-planet and back to earth.

Enter, Robert Morse. He's certainly a handful to begin with, full of spite and a self-centred worldview, yet by the end of the film he is instrumental in Ripley's plan, and not only succeeds in keeping the xenomorph out of evil-corp Weyland-Yutani's mitts, but is the last man standing (despite a shot in the leg) as the credits roll.
