10 Movie Characters With Crazy Backstories We Didn't Get To See

4. Alan Parrish (Robin Williams) - Jumanji

Young Alan and Sarah find this board game, right? Looks interesting until Alan gets sucked in. For 26 years. Finally two more kids play and he comes back, looking like Jeremiah Johnson on a bad day. Alan has been fighting for his life in some alternate world, fighting off an assortment of wild animals and a crazed hunter named Van Pelt (who looks very much like his actual father). How did Alan survive alone in that "deepest, darkest jungle" that long? What must he have seen and experienced? The action takes place in the film before he can talk in depth about it, but its apparent he was fully capable of handling himself in a variety of dangerous situations.
