10 Extremely Brief Movie Characters Who Totally Deserve Spin-Offs

4. The Big Lebowski - Jesus Quintana

The Big Lebowski is quite simply one of the best films of the last 25 years. It has everything you could want in a comedy film and more; quotable lines, laugh out loud moments, incredible cast and a cult following of millions. Yet every time you watch the film, it may occur how wasted John Tuturro€™s Jesus is. Sure, he gets a few moments to shine with his ball licking, slow motion dancing to Hotel California or €˜pederast€™ backstory, but there is a real lack of what else goes on in his life in this flick. Much like the majority of Coen brother€™s films it is always about so much more than what you see in the first viewing, and unlike most, they€™re films that literally get better each time you watch them. But some of there sub characters deserve so much more screen time than they get. In a film as good as this, that houses some of the best characters ever crafted, John Tuturro€™s Jesus stands out in a huge way, and he has less screen time than any other titled presence. His line to Walter is one of the funniest in the film and calls for an extended look into his world: €˜Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy s**t with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the f***ing trigger 'til it goes "click."
