In The Pick Up Artist.....Mickey Rourke plays a smooth talking ladies man who can bang just about any chick he wants. He bangs Molly Ringwald and finds her rather boring as she just wants to hang out at Wet Seal and Forever 21. He ditches her to hang out with Harry Dean Stanton and enter online poker tournaments sponsored by The Pine Cove Bar. (Sandman) |
2 |
In Zodiac, Mickey Rourke plays an LSD fueled copycat killer who is really bad at cryptography. He gives out his real name and address with only asterisks in between each word in the letter he sent to The Chronicle. This is the first movie where MR wears his signature granny glasses (aka Wonder Boys) as he methodically works on his “They'll neeeeever decipher this” letter on a dimly lit desk. (DieSeL) |
3 |
In Tropic Thunder, Mickey Rourke is in yellow-face with a straw hat, bowl of rice, and buck teeth playing Simple Jack’s father in the jungle reenactment of Simple Jack. Black-faced Robert Downey, Jr. looks into the camera after seeing the spectacle through his binoculars and says to the movie audience,“Thats-a, Thats-a, Thats-a OUTRAGEOUS.” (DieSeL) |
4 |
Robert Downey, Jr. as a Charlie Chaplin hallucination while Eric Roberts exclaims, “Charlieeee, they took my thumb!!!” in Pope of Greenich Village. Rourke hears Eric Roberts, but sees Robert Downey, Jr. acting out the scene as Chaplin. (White Russian) |
5 |
Mickey Rourke as the first talking actor to come along and ruin Robert Downey, Jr.’s Chaplin…leading him to a life of booze and drugs. (Space Ace) |
6 |
Robert Downey, Jr. as a singing, dancing bottle of gin while Mickey Rourke hallucinates in Barfly. (DieSeL) |
7 |
Mickey Rourke as the drug pusher in Less Than Zero. (White Russian) |
8 |
Robert Downey, Jr. as Rourke’s gay, coca-eene adicted lover in 9 1/2 Weeks. (White Russian) |
9 |
Mickey Rourke as Watson in Sherlock Holmes. (White Russian) |
10 |
Robert Downey, Jr. as a sleazy, coca-eene adicted promoter in The Wrestler. (White Russian) |
11 |
BONUS: Robert Downey, Jr. stars in the Mickey Rourke movie Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man. RDJ plays Jack Daniels, a heavy drinking conman from Canada. In a controversial scene that was cut from the movie, Ellen Barkin emerges from a dank room in a low rent apartment and sits on the pizza box covered couch. She looks at the dog (named Allah), also on the couch, and says, “I'm so tired. I just rode a Harley, smoked a Marlboro, and drank some Jack.” (DieSeL) |
