List of Natural Born Killers characters

This lists the major characters in the 1994 film Natural Born Killers. The characters were created by Quentin Tarantino and the film was directed and co-scripted by Oliver Stone.

Mickey Knox is portrayed by Woody Harrelson.

As a child, Mickey was abused by both his parents and witnessed his father commit suicide when he was ten. Mickey is shown throughout the movie as an efficient, psychopathic killer with zero empathy showcased for his victims, with knowledge of firearms and knife throwing. It is also shown that he knows how to kill with his bare hands such as the time in prison when he demonstrates killing a man by breaking his neck during a yoga session. Mickey is based on the infamous real-life spree killer known as Charles Starkweather and named after the actor of the same name who was known for being part of the Hollywood Blacklist. He is visually based on "V", the singer for the 1980s industrial band NBK.

Mallory Knox is portrayed by Juliette Lewis.

As a child, Mallory suffered physical, verbal, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of her father (played by Rodney Dangerfield). Mallory devotes herself to Mickey, stating he is her one true love. Mallory often tells stories and fantasies about her and Mickey living in paradise, to which Mickey often responds, "That is poetry." Of the two, Mallory seems to be the more aggressive, just like Knox an uncontrolled psychopath with zero empathy for the people she kills (aside from an old American Native man who takes them in for the night; Mallory angrily tells Mickey off for killing the old man.). One example is when she and Mickey kill their last victim, Wayne Gale (Robert Downey, Jr.). Mallory continues shooting Gale repeatedly after he is dead.

Jack Scagnetti is portrayed by actor Tom Sizemore.
