10 Quentin Tarantino Characters Who Deserve Their Own Movie

By Ian Watson /

7. Richie Gecko (Quentin Tarantino) - From Dusk Till Dawn

When he€™s not fantasising about a Minister€™s teenage daughter or slaughtering a female hostage for no better reason than because he can, Richie Gecko is a dab hand at making a bad situation worse, either by indiscriminately shooting people or telling lies to his brother Seth (George Clooney). One such lie results in a shootout at Benny€™s World Of Liquor (€œIf we don€™t got it, you don€™t want it!€) when Richie accuses the clerk of signalling the Sheriff, so he decides to execute them both and blow up the store for good measure. Better safe than sorry, you know. The kind of bank robber (and sex offender) who was kicked out of Reservoir Dogs for being too unpredictable, Richie has killed five people before we€™re even introduced to him, collateral damage resulting from breaking Seth out of custody. He also grinds his teeth.
