Racer Dopkins is a major antagonist of the 2014 film Cooties. He is a schoolboy at Ft. Chicken Elementary School and one of many children on the playground to be infected with the food-borne virus that transforms children into zombie-like savages. He is also the son of Emily Dopkins and has a baby brother until he infects him to kill their own mother.
He was portrayed by Aiden Lovekamp.
Personality[]
Racer was a normal child. When he contracted the virus, He became sadistic, bloodthirsty, and cannibalistic like the other infected children.
History[]
Pre-infection, Racer was presumably a normal child. This all changes after a tainted batch of chicken nuggets from Happy Poultry Farms is delivered across North America during the summer of 2014. One day in Fort Chicken, Illinois (where the film is set) a fourth grader named Shelley Linker inadvertently infects herself with the virus through her lunch.
When the virus in children outbreaks, Racer gets infected and starts a killing spree with the other children. When it's almost school dismissal, Racer's mother, Emily Dopkins, arrives early to pick up her son while the survivors are on the balcony to call for help. Suddenly, they see Racer going to the parent's car and try to get her attention to not to let him in, but they're highly too far away from the parking lot and she was also on the phone. However, it's too late when Racer got in the car and infects his baby brother, and the infected baby kills Mrs. Dopkins, much to the survivors' shock.
Later at the fun center near the film's climax, Racer and the kids ambushed the teachers and pursued them in the playroom. But Wade, having survived the onslaught back at the school after he sacrificed himself to let the teachers and students get away, arrives with Mr. Hitachi who has also survived the cootie kids back at the school when he stays behind to fight some of them in the school, he gets the survivors into crossing guard Rick's van, meanwhile, he drenches the ground, surrounding, and Racer and the cootie kids with gasoline before he lights it. Racer and all the other kids are killed in the fires, and the teachers and students drove off to some place kids don't wanna go.
