There’s a place where evil gets what it deserves.  Legendary masters of horror Wes Craven and Sean Cunningham revisit the landmark film that launched Craven's directing career and influenced decades of horror films to follow: The Last House on the Left. Bringing one of the most notorious thrillers of all time to a new generation, they produce a shocking and thrilling re-imagination of the story that explores how far two ordinary people will go to exact revenge on the sociopaths who harmed their child. The Last House on the Left DVD includes two versions of the movie - the unrated cut too terrifying for theaters and the theatrical version.

The Last House on the Left includes a side-kick, who unfortunately meets someone who leads the main character into trouble. Gather wants to know: who is your least favorite side-kick in a film? Gather will randomly draw five respondents to receive a copy of the DVD The Last House on the Left. Comments must be posted by August 18th.

The Last House on the Left, comes to DVD and Blu-ray August 18th!

Robin - Batman did just fine without him and he made Batman look kind of gay! LOL
Littlefrog TN Aug 6, 2009, 10:25pm EDT
Scrappy as well he was so small he was annoying" he should have been adopted by a family far away lol
Marsha S. Aug 4, 2009, 11:03am EDT
LOL I was thinking Robin too when I read least favorite side kick. We are talking old school here though. I can't think of any sidekicks of recent.
Lori F. Aug 4, 2009, 11:14am EDT
I would love to have this one.

My least favorite side kick...hmmm.... I would say Scrappy Doo or Scooby Dumb. Both of them just rubbed me the wrong way.
Bunny B. Aug 4, 2009, 11:15am EDT
The "Sidekicks" from Sky High.
Janet "Jax" B. Aug 4, 2009, 1:30pm EDT
I liked the sidekicks...they cracked me up.
Nancy * Aug 4, 2009, 11:16am EDT
The kid in the second Indiana Jones movie, Short Round.
Paul M. Aug 4, 2009, 11:20am EDT
Does Jar-Jar Binks count as a sidekick?
Wanda Murray Aug 4, 2009, 11:20am EDT
Robin and catwoman in the batman movies
colleen m. Aug 4, 2009, 11:27am EDT
I can't think of any sidekick more annoying and despised than Scrappy Doo!
Lesli B. Aug 4, 2009, 11:51am EDT
Red from Pineapple Express.
Ariel Storm Aug 4, 2009, 12:29pm EDT
Riley Poole from the National Treasure movies.
Crystal R. Aug 4, 2009, 2:40pm EDT
Oh I like Riley.
carolyn b. Aug 4, 2009, 12:41pm EDT
My husband would love this movie, I would have to say Scooby Doo, they are really annoying
♠~Dnbuster~♠ ~. Aug 4, 2009, 1:08pm EDT
my least fav would have to be Robin too...
Ashley M. Aug 4, 2009, 1:24pm EDT
Robin WAS really annoying in the Batman movies....especially the one with George Clooney.
Sarah (I want points) Aug 4, 2009, 1:57pm EDT
I would have to say Scrappy as well. He was just plain annoying.
I have to agree with Jar-Jar Binks. MY LORD was he a horrid side kick.
♥~♥ Phaedra ♥~♥ .. Aug 4, 2009, 2:21pm EDT
Farva, from Super Troopers
Carrie Marie P. Aug 4, 2009, 4:20pm EDT
His character was funny! lol
♥Chels J. Aug 4, 2009, 2:35pm EDT
scrappy lol
Joanne Vicente Aug 4, 2009, 2:41pm EDT
Robin's really annoying, but nowhere near as much as Billy Crystal's sidekick in "City Slickers"!!!
Cynthia T. Aug 4, 2009, 3:07pm EDT
I think Chris Tuckers character in the Rush hour movies was the most annoying to me.
Avon Lady Aug 4, 2009, 3:58pm EDT
Least favorite sidekick is jerry from tom and jerry he was such a big smarty pants and never let the cat out smart him well not by much anyways!
Carli Connors Aug 4, 2009, 4:17pm EDT
Chris Tucker in the Rush Hour Movies, He was funny, but his voice was just too annoying.
Janet "Jax" B. Aug 4, 2009, 4:20pm EDT
I totally agree there.
Carrie Marie P. Aug 4, 2009, 4:21pm EDT
Chris Tucker was annoying to me in the Fifth Element too. He was sort of a side kick in that movie as well....
Nancy * Aug 4, 2009, 4:55pm EDT
OH gosh I loved him in Fifth Element
Lori A Aug 4, 2009, 4:23pm EDT
Im not sure if he would be considered a side kick but I really hate Chris Tucker in the 5th element I love everyone else in the movie but don't watch it much because of that annoying guy lol
Janet "Jax" B. Aug 4, 2009, 4:25pm EDT
Marcie ---- Peppermint Patty's sidekick in the Peanuts specials. It just annoys me that Marcie calls Peppermint Patty "Sir."
Janet "Jax" B. Aug 4, 2009, 4:29pm EDT
Another sidekick people find funny, but I find annoying is the Donkey in the Shrek movies. Eddie Murphy's voice just grates on my nerves.
Alex In Wonderland Aug 5, 2009, 10:18am EDT
I was thinking of him, but I'm only annoyed by the voice. The character ends up being kind of likeable.
adam w. Aug 4, 2009, 4:29pm EDT
To turn the question around, The "The Waco Kid" (Gene Wilder) was the ultimate sidekick to Sheriff Bart (Cleavon Little) in Blazing Saddles.
Rita j. Aug 4, 2009, 5:08pm EDT
Spongebob squarepants sidekick Patrick is sooooooo annoying, I hate when my son watch that show
Vikki M. Aug 4, 2009, 6:31pm EDT
I have to agree with many of the above who said Robin
kimberly g. Aug 4, 2009, 6:48pm EDT
Chewbacca, Hans Solo's side kick, he is just too cute! and he done saved Hans's butt a few times! Lol!
kimberly g. Aug 4, 2009, 7:37pm EDT
Man, I read that wrong. I thought it was your favorite, been a long darn day! Lol.
I would have to say Hans solo, Chewy was always saving his butt!
Jennifer G. Aug 4, 2009, 7:08pm EDT
My least favourite movie sidekick would be the girl who was Lindsay Lohan's sidekick in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen... she was such a pushover and she really didn't contribute a lot. I just felt like her character was too... scripted.
Bill F. Aug 4, 2009, 7:36pm EDT
My least favorite would probably be Jar Jar Binks!
Sassy ... the calm and cool Cat Aug 4, 2009, 7:58pm EDT
The Cisco Kid really didn't need Pancho
Shelbia C. Aug 4, 2009, 9:31pm EDT
I agree with Janet about Marcy. Even as a kid I wanted to slug her because I thought the whole sir thing was ridiculous.
Ashley P. Aug 4, 2009, 9:37pm EDT
I agree with this one... Batman does great without him! lol!


Kimber L. Aug 4, 2009, 11:00am EDT
Robin - Batman did just fine without him and he made Batman look kind of gay! LOL
April H. Aug 4, 2009, 9:49pm EDT
The charachter Willie Scott from Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom. The movie tends to lose a little bit of watch-ability when this single character does nothing but scream the entire movie. Yes, the entire movie. She is screaming, complaining, whining, crying, and yelling for the whole flippin’ movie, and the whole time she thinks that she is a beautiful singer and the object of Indiana’s affection.
Bridget ♥ Aug 4, 2009, 10:15pm EDT
I'm going to have to go with Mini-Me (Austin Powers). Something about him on that show just gave me the heebie-jeebies!
Lilith Dorsey Aug 4, 2009, 10:21pm EDT
Jerry Lewis... don't hate me.
Teresa W. Aug 5, 2009, 5:55am EDT
Benny on the first Mummy movie with Brendan Frasier. Benny was the sidekick for the Americans first, well their guide but still, a sidekick and then Benny was the mummy Imhoteps sidekick. He was a real sleaze who got what he deserved in the end! It was great!
Heather L. Aug 8, 2009, 10:05pm EDT
I agree. He was a horrible sidekick!
Pher B. Aug 11, 2009, 3:24pm EDT
He was annoying.
Nick H. Aug 5, 2009, 8:15am EDT
Jar-Jar was pretty bad as far as side kicks go.
April H. Aug 5, 2009, 9:35am EDT
I'll have to go with Scrappy - he was pretty annoying!
John S. Aug 5, 2009, 10:04am EDT
Jack in Sideways must be right up there. I felt so bad for Miles throughout the whole movie. Jack was a real a#$@%^$. Fantastic movie.
Alex In Wonderland Aug 5, 2009, 10:30am EDT
The guinea pig in the movie "Dr. Dolittle" with Eddie Murphy. If I were ever able to talk to animals and I had to deal with that creature I'd cut off my ears!
Laura C. Aug 5, 2009, 12:08pm EDT
the Julia Roberts character in the Ocean's 11 and 12 movies. No chemistry at all with her "love interest" George Clooney...her character wasn't at all necessary.
Tara C. Aug 5, 2009, 12:27pm EDT
Robin from Batman, he is annoying!
♥¤ J K¤ ♥ Aug 5, 2009, 4:02pm EDT
My first thought was Robin from Batman. It looks like I'm not the only one who had that thought! LOL
Angela A. Aug 5, 2009, 4:41pm EDT
I would have to say, after reading these comments, that Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze from the Batman movie were horrible. They had cheesy lines and the performances were over the top dumb.
Jessica B. Aug 5, 2009, 6:29pm EDT
Sam Gamgee from Lord of the Rings. The loving looks Sam had for Frodo were just too much. Very amusing though.
Pher B. Aug 11, 2009, 3:25pm EDT
I thought of him...
Amber C. Aug 5, 2009, 10:45pm EDT
Robin was bad, as was Scrappy Doo, but the ultimate bad sidekick has to be Chewbacca from Star Wars. I mean first, was he house trained? How many hair balls did he hack up? And don't even get me started on how hard it must be to get a dentist to look in his mouth...
HEIDI F. Aug 5, 2009, 10:45pm EDT
anything involving jerry lewis.
Alena Chauntee AKA Kitten Aug 6, 2009, 2:19am EDT
scrappy dappy doo
Linda T. Aug 6, 2009, 5:10am EDT

the step sisters in Cinderella.
☀ Aunt Shanny Aug 6, 2009, 9:49am EDT
Robin, of Batman and Robin
Claudia Mcgee Aug 6, 2009, 9:03pm EDT
oh too funny .. just pictured Robin ...yep ... too much :)
Deborah Sloan Aug 6, 2009, 10:39pm EDT
Floop's sidekick who turned out to be the bad guy.
Scrappy-do was annoying!
Karen G. Aug 7, 2009, 10:43am EDT
Shia LeBouef in the Crystal Skull
Erica G. Aug 7, 2009, 2:10pm EDT
I hated Jar-Jar and Scrappy!
rhonda m. Aug 7, 2009, 3:20pm EDT
Renee Zellwidger in "Cold Mountain".....uhhhhhhhh
Pher B. Aug 11, 2009, 3:25pm EDT
I liked her.
Gail W. Aug 7, 2009, 4:18pm EDT

Shaunee C. Aug 7, 2009, 10:34pm EDT
The Joker from Batman
Anita D. Aug 8, 2009, 1:30am EDT
Whiners irritate me so that add on pup scrappy-doo
Trish A. Aug 8, 2009, 8:58am EDT
Mouse in "Lady Hawk"

I think this is my all-time favorite character in any movie.
Heather L. Aug 8, 2009, 10:06pm EDT
I'll Have to agree, Scrappy was pretty annoying, I much preferred the Scooby Doo without Scrappy.
Linda J. Aug 8, 2009, 11:06pm EDT
Olive Oil from Popeye
Michele H. Aug 9, 2009, 5:16am EDT
Jar-Jar Binks...ugh!
chris skelly Aug 9, 2009, 4:18pm EDT
Robin from Batman. I feel that Robin represents the ass kissing that goes on in this world; especially in business. Robin makes Batman his role model and tries to be an exact copy of him to try and please him. Not only does he fail at it, he just makes himself look totally gay. And the big problem is, people are corruptely influenced by this behavior and perceive it as being ethically justified.

I work with someone who reminds me of Robin. He sucks up to my department manager and copies his behavior, his quotes, and so on. Everyone at work knows that he's copying his behavior to get what I would like to call "brownie points", meaning that he wants to be given something in return such as a promotion and more hours. I absolutely hate him, and I hate people like that.

People like that ought to be fucking shot. Anyone agree?
Winona Morris Aug 9, 2009, 8:06pm EDT
Amelia Earhart from Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Her character annoyed me so much it make me literally dislike the entire movie. I just wanted her to shut up and go away!
Pher B. Aug 11, 2009, 3:26pm EDT
Oh, now I loved her....it was the guy that played the mummy that was annoying.
Patti M. Aug 9, 2009, 11:07pm EDT
Patrick in Sponge Bob. Yuck.
Joanne Vicente Aug 10, 2009, 4:35pm EDT
Ratso Rizzo, in Midnight Cowboy is unsurpassed for annoying, but that's why we love to hate him.
Pher B. Aug 11, 2009, 3:27pm EDT
Rerun in the Peanuts specials....he's worse than Charlie Brown....
Shannon W Aug 11, 2009, 4:15pm EDT
Scrappy Doo! I know that's been said but he was sooooo annoying.
Kelly M. Aug 11, 2009, 6:31pm EDT
I hated Scrappy too!
Beth G. Aug 11, 2009, 8:47pm EDT
Jar Jar Binks!
charity kimball ツ Aug 11, 2009, 11:26pm EDT
I never like waynes world those 2 acted pretty dumb together.. I would also say robin and batman that first comment in this post 2 funny.. I would love to see this movie thansk for offering it up:)
Mary Floyd Aug 12, 2009, 5:51am EDT
I like the sidekicks, they are the funniest, Robin is not my fav but I think Scrappy was cute, maybe a little annoying now that I think about it, but I loved Chewy he really saved Hans.
Amy H. Aug 12, 2009, 8:12am EDT
Danny Devito in Twins. He was just made of trouble. It was an excelent movie though.
Shawnee G. Aug 12, 2009, 11:33pm EDT
My first thought was every Robin there has ever been.
Victoria H. Aug 13, 2009, 10:30am EDT
I have to agree with Kimber - Robin! LOL My son would be devastated to hear that. He loves all superheroes adn sidekicks equally. LOL
Tina B. Aug 14, 2009, 10:08am EDT
I haven't seen it yet.
Christine F. Aug 14, 2009, 2:03pm EDT
I'm not sure if I'd consider him least favorite, but the creepiest sidekick was the hitchhiker in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, oh my! Thank you for the giveaway!
Sheshe C. Aug 14, 2009, 5:44pm EDT
the character Benjamin Buford Blue aka "Bubba" in the movie Forrest Gump. Bubba going on about shrimp was just too much for me.
Mark N. Aug 15, 2009, 12:33am EDT
Of Moe Larry & Currly, of the 3 stooges, Larry and Currly had to be the worst side kicks ever
The always invisible Mama in the movie Psycho, I think I had nightmares for a week! Norman Bates was OK all by himself.
don h. Aug 15, 2009, 4:40pm EDT
for me , i guess, would be scrappy, jar jar, and mini me. scrappy was just [lain annoying. as were mini me
Brittany Weavers Aug 16, 2009, 10:42pm EDT
first i would have to say Robin second i would have to say flounder from the little mermaid
Mary M. Aug 16, 2009, 10:49pm EDT
Barnacle Boy, from "The Spongebob Squarepants Movie" -- could you get more annoying than a geriatric ex-TV hero in tights? Yikes.
Carla B. Aug 16, 2009, 10:56pm EDT
Maybe he's not exactly a side kick, but I'm going with Pluto from the Mickey Mouse cartoons. It always annoyed me that he couldn't talk, even though all the other animals could.
maria sanchez Aug 16, 2009, 11:36pm EDT
scrappy doo was one of the most annoying. He wasn't much of a sidekick because he didn't really get along with scooby, and they are family. That's very naughty for a family member to do
Crystal T. Aug 17, 2009, 6:12pm EDT
Scrappy Doo and Red from Pineapple Express
