5. The Frog Brothers (& Sam) - The Lost Boys
Call it hubris, call it boredom, call it the delusions of grandeur of young preteen boys. When we first meet the Frog brothers, they come off as kids writing checks they can't cash. Corey Feldman's faux drill sergeant guttural tone doesn't help, nor does their conviction that "ghouls and werewolves occupy high positions at city hall." In other words, they seem like the type to wet their pants at the first sign of any actual vampires. But when shit gets real, the brothers and new friend Sam step up to the challenge. Edgar stakes a sleeping vampire without even flinching. Sure, a sleeping vampire is an easy target, but killing a man before you've made it to high school is a pretty tall order. They don't shirk from their duty of protecting Sam and defending the half-vampires enemies they'd just as soon stake as save from the other vampires, either. This isn't to say they don't lose their sh*t. They do. But courage isn't not being afraid: it's being afraid and going ahead anyway. Edgar and Allen get a good few screams in, but not once do they run from the battlefield. Not to mention, the movie's Dragon is vampire David, played by Kiefer Sutherland. These vampires are so badass, Jack f*cking Bauer isn't even their
final boss. And still this trio of barely-pubescent boys stare them down. Also, this one
really is the last 80s movie on the list.
