| 1 | * CompleteMonster: Felix Nash is the CriminalDoppelganger of Ernest, a ruthless "crime czar" with a plan to escape DeathRow. An imprisoned Nash works with his goons to swap places with Ernest, escaping into his heroic duplicate's life while Ernest is left to suffer in prison under threat of Nash harming his loved ones. Nash is a brutal creep when it comes to getting what he wants, as he torments and threatens a fellow crook with [[GroinAttack dropping heavy weights onto his crotch]] in exchange for money, and later forcefully kisses and [[AttemptedRape tries to rape]] Ernest's LoveInterest Charlotte. After threatening an entire jury into obeying his demands and setting Ernest up to die in the electric chair, Nash tries to rob the bank Ernest works at, cheerfully attempting to kill Charlotte and the bank's security guards by tying them to a bomb, and when he's caught, Nash tries to take Charlotte as a hostage at gunpoint. |
| 2 | * HarsherInHindsight: When asked if he wants a cigarette before his execution, Ernest turns down the offer, saying that [[ComicallyMissingThePoint cigarettes can kill you]]. While certainly funny back in the day, there isn't much humor in the line anymore because Creator/JimVarney died from lung cancer in 2000, because of his vigorous smoking habits. |
| 3 | * SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Creator/JimVarney gives a genuinely intimidating performance as Felix Nash while also managing to incorporate enough panache and charisma into the character to make him come across as [[EvilIsCool rather cool]], particularly in comparison to Ernest. Even though they look identical, Jim is able to play both differing roles so well that it's easy to forget that they're played by the same guy. |
