10 Movie Characters We'd Share a Desert Island With

5. Frank 'The Tank' Ricard - Old School

So far, 4 out of our 5 Islandites enjoy a tipple and, even though we don€™t see her give the Falstaff salute, we can assume that Ripley would get into the island spirit pretty quickly too given an €˜alien-free€™ existence. So, since we have a cache of rum and the possibility of varying our liquid diet with various banana-beers and coconut concoctions, all we need now is somebody who excels under the influence. That man is Frank the Tank. As every successful group needs a maternal figure, every group also needs an endearing one. You€™ll know him/her in your group. He/she€™s the one who isn€™t necessarily the brightest, the most eloquent, the most forward-thinking blighter but their actions invariably bring a smile to somebody€™s face whether he/she intends on doing so or not! There€™s little in the way of malice within this hapless soul but everything they seem to do is either hilarious or confusing beyond the realms of human logic. From streaking through the quad, to firing a tranquilizer dart into his own neck, Frank would be the member of the group whose stories are a constant source of mild-shame in which he€™ll ultimately see the funny side. He€™s loyal, fun-loving and a natural devil€™s advocate and that is a cocktail for success on any desert island.
