10 Movie Characters They Wanted You To Forget

And finally we have Doug Liman's cult classic black comedy Go, which focuses on young supermarket cashier Ronna (Sarah Polley) attempting to pull off a daring drug scam in order to pay her rent.

One of her pals is Manny (Nathan Bexton), who misguidedly takes two ecstasy pills at once and gets very, very high as a result. When Ronna's scam gets found out, she stashes Manny in a nearby alley and promises to return for him.

But moments later, Ronna is hit by a car and incapacitated, marking the end of the movie's first act. The rest of Go branches out to explore numerous different perspectives of the drug deal, before circling back to Ronna at the very end as she wakes up in hospital.

Ronna then goes to work, where her other friend Claire (Katie Holmes) asks where Manny is, causing Ronna to finally remember that she stashed him the night prior.

And so, well over an hour after we last saw Manny, Ronna returns to the alleyway and retrieves him, pale and shaking uncontrollably but thankfully alive.

The gag wouldn't work nearly as well if we ever cut back to Manny throughout the film, and given that the following hour-plus is jam-packed with insanity, there's plenty to make viewers forget about his very existence.
