J.C.

JC is the villain of the 1960's b-movie The Sidehackers, which was best known for being featured in a episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. He was played by Michael Pataki.

JC was a crooked and egotistical promoter of motorcycle shows. At first, he seemed an affable individual when he got introduced by Rommel, the protagonist, into the new sidehacking races. His true colors showed when Rommel refused his proposal to join him and he started to act violently and abusing his goons.

Things got worse when JC's girlfriend accused Rommel of raping her and so, in retaliation, JC rapes and kills Rommel's girlfriend.

In order to get revenge on JC, Rommel hires a gang of thugs to fight and kill JC and his goons.

Members of both gangs died during the battle leaving Rommel and JC to fight one-on-one. Unfortunately, JC manages to kill Rommel by shooting him in the back but he's then arrested by the police.

Trivia

 * JC is often considered one of the most, if not the most, depraved villains ever showed on MST3K.


 * The producers of MST3K chose to riff The Sidehackers because, at first, they thought it was just a cheesy movie about motorcycle races and didn't expected it to turn quickly into a dark thriller with JC's actions.
