10 Movie Characters Created As A F**k You To Real People

3. Galaxy Quest's Evil Sarris Is Not So Subtly Named After A Famous Movie Critic

Who The Character Is: Played by Robin Sachs, insectoid alien warlord Sarris is the main villain of Dean Parisot's Trek-like sci-fi homage Galaxy Quest. Sarris is duplicitous and cruel, taking pleasures from others' pain, so it's no great loss for the audience to see his plan foiled, his ship destroyed and his body disintegrated by a blaster, all to applause from an enraptured audience. Who He Really Is: Continuing the Lady In The Water trend of really obviously naming an unlikeable character after a film critic, you have Galaxy Quest's Sarris, subtly named after acerbic Village Voice writer Andrew Sarris. Word has it that Sarris trashed Galaxy Quest producer Mark Johnson's film The Natural 15 years prior to the production of Galaxy Quest, so this is some form of payback (albeit very petty).
