Johnny

Imagem retirada do site: https://night-of-the-demons.fandom.com/wiki/Johnny

O que eu acho legal do Johnny, personagem de “A Noite dos Demônios 2″, é que ele é o típico herói de filme trash. Ele vai pra Hull House junto com os amigos por influência de alguns maus elementos do grupo. Hull House é aquela casa amaldiçoada do primeiro filme.

No site da Fandom Americana da saga “A Noite dos Demônios” não é especificado se Johnny é um protagonista, deuteragonista (segundo protagonista) ou tritagonista (terceiro protagonista). Fato é que ele é um dos personagens principais. Talvez não um dos mais expressivos, mas os fãs mais atentos de filmes de terror logo vão sacar que Johnny é um personagem principal no começo do filme. Embora um personagem mais discreto.

Alguns estudantes não acreditavam na lenda do casarão amaldiçoado, outros sim. Johnny fazia parte desse último grupo. Acredito que embora acreditando na lenda do casarão, ele ainda quis ir. Não lembro se era para comprovar se a lenda era verdade ou se por má ifluência dos maus elementos do grupo. Ou as duas coisas juntas. Fato é que Johnny foi para o casarão com o grupo de certa maneira.

Johnny tem um certo conhecimento de artes marciais e usa isso contra os demônios no decorrer do filme. E você percebe que ele é um dos herói logo que descobre que ele acredita na lenda e não toma atitudes idiotas desde o começo do filme. Na verdade é preciso muito mais do que isso pra descobrir que ele é um dos heróis. Muita intuição e experiência com filmes de horror ajudariam você nesse ponto. Sabendo que ainda assim é possível errar, mesmo com a lógica mais coerente. Enfim, é preciso muito tato pra descobrir que no fim ele vai ter um final feliz. Revelo esse pequeno spoiler porque acho que tá muito na cara e vcs não vão se surpreender. Posso ter errado, mas enfim...é impossível fazer um texto 100% sem spoilers. Só pelo fato de vc estar contando um resumo da história vc já está dando spoilers, certo?

Como disse anteriormente, a Fandom Americana da saga não revela o que ele é de fato. Mas como dedução particular minha, deduzo que ele seja o deuteragonista (segundo protagonista) do filme. Calma, é apenas uma opinião particular minha. Assistam “A Noite dos Demônios 2″ e vocês irão ter uma noção de porque a minha opinião é essa. Johnny também foi a única pessoa a dançar com Angela Franklin (a moça do primeiro filme que se tornou um demônio) e que conseguiu sobreviver (por sorte). Também foi o primeiro e único a derrotar Angela Franklin, até o momento onde o segundo filme acontece. Depois disso não assisti “A Noite dos Demônios 3″, então não sei se tem mais alguém que conseguiu derrotar a Angela também...ou se mais alguém dançou com ela e sobreviveu.

Eu acho que quando a gente se identifica com um personagem principal, não devemos ter vergonha alguma de compartilhar isso com os outros. Mesma coisa quando a gente se identifica com um personagem secundário. Não devemos ter vergonha de contar isso aos outros. Eu mesmo sou fã do personagem Shane Walsh de “The Walking Dead”. Ele nem aparece tanto assim, mas eu sou fã dele. Não tive vergonha de compartilhar isso, então não tenho vergonha de contar que Johnny é meu personagem favorito de “A Noite dos Demônios 2″.

Alguns irão concordar com a sua opinião, outros não e outros ainda ficarão sem opinião. Mas o que importa é o que a sua opinião diz para você mesmo. Se você acha, ninguém precisa concordar ou discordar. É uma opinião pessoal sua com vc mesmo.

Também acredito que a grande maioria das pessoas prefere os personagens principais porque dizem que eles são “mais legais”.

Johnny foi interpretado por Johnny Moran. O personagem tem o mesmo nome do ator.

Abraços, fiquem com Deus. E se protejam dos Demônios!

Small Block plus Small Shot plus Small Tires Equals Big Fun!

Fathers and sons make some of the greatest drag racing partners. Yes, there will be arguments and moments of contention, but the most cherished memories of a drag racing father is seeing his son take on the challenge of building, driving and maintaining a drag racing vehicle. And when a third generation enters the family equation, the eldest of the group will be grinning from ear to ear as dinner table conversations turn into planning sessions, which lead to shop time together. For the Queen family, drag racing has been a part of the dinner table conversations for quite a while.

William Carson Queen Sr. and his son, Junior took on this 1983 Chevy S-10 pickup as a project more than a decade ago. The father and son duo raced it for five years, and when William Senior passed away, the truck was parked for three years. It wasn’t until Junior’s son Johnathon became old enough to drive that interest in the S-10 race truck was rekindled. Johnathon made a 7.20-second eighth-mile pass and the boy was hooked. From there, Junior and Johnathon decided to give the truck a new look and more horsepower, in an effort to compete in the local “Easy Street” class, which caters to somewhat street-friendly combinations with a stock block.

After a full year of work, the truck came out of the shop with a major cosmetic makeover, and a serious 23-degree-headed small block on a healthy dose of nitrous oxide. The father and son racing team are still working out the bugs on the new combination, but the first outing was successful. The truck hooks hard and has already knocked out a 1.17-second 60-foot time, as well as a current best eighth-mile elapsed time of 5.59 at 121 miles per hour at the time of the photo shoot. They are still sneaking up on the tune, and will continue to get quicker and faster as Johnathon gets some more seat time. For now, this father and son are thrilled with the performance and appearance of their project truck, but just like any drag racers, these guys aren’t going to slow down any time soon.

Tech Notes

Who: William Carson Queen Jr. What: 1983 Chevy S-10 Where: Rock Spring, Georgia

Engine: There’s something to be said for a simple small block Chevrolet engine. We’re not downplaying the effort that went into the Queen boys’ power plant, but they made it look easy. They started with a 400ci Chevrolet block, and had Farrow Motorsports handle the machine work on it. The 0.030-over block is packed with a Scat crankshaft, Crower 5.7-inch connecting rods and TRW flattop pistons, which create a 10.5:1 compression ratio. Junior and Johnathon assembled the small block with a set of Edelbrock Victor Jr. cylinder heads, which feature 215cc intake runners and 64cc combustion chambers. A Lunati .720-inch lift solid roller camshaft moves the valves while a 1,050cfm Holley Dominator draws fuel and air into the Edelbrock Super Victor intake manifold. The fuel system consists of an aluminum fuel cell with a Holley pump, while an MSD 6AL ignition box provides spark for the MSD Pro-Billet distributor. Duncan Racing Fabrication built the front-exit headers from two-inch stainless steel tubing, and joined them mini bullhorn collectors just ahead of the front tires. The potent small block runs on C16 racing fuel.

Power Adder: The nitrous system on the S-10 is a NOS Big Shot plate kit. It’s jetted for a 200 horsepower shot, and makes the 406ci small block extra peppy.

Transmission: Behind the nitrous-fed combination is a Powerglide transmission, built by Glenn McCary. The transmission received the full race treatment, and uses a BTE torque converter, which stalls to 4,500 rpm on the line. Johnathon controls the Powerglide with a Speed Master shifter.

Rearend: Out back is a Ford 9-inch rear end housing, which has been narrowed to fit beneath the S-10 chassis. It features a spool, Moser axles and 4.56:1 gears.

Suspension: The S-10’s suspension is fairly simple, with TRZ tubular control arms and Afco coilovers up front, and ladder bars with Aldan coilovers out back. Junior and Johnathon handled all of the suspension work, and added an extensive roll cage.

Wheels/Tires: An aggressive stance is complemented by killer rolling stock. The truck rolls on Mickey Thompson rubber, sized at 26.0/4.0-17 up front and 275/60R15 (Pro Radials) out back. The Weld Alumastar 2.0 front runners measure 17×4 inches while the 15×11-inch rears are Champion Speed Series wheels with Champion X beadlocks.

Paint/Body: While some drag racers are focused solely on going fast, this father and son duo wanted their project truck to look awesome, too. They gave it a fiberglass bumper and valance, as well as a fiberglass hood to save a few pounds and help with aerodynamics. From there, Junior, Johnathon and Shane Porter straightened and aligned the body panels to perfection before applying Sikkens Red Pearl base coat and clear coat. More time was spent color-sanding and buffing the fresh materials, resulting in a flawless finish. The smoked lights, tinted windows and matte black accents finish off the truck perfectly. Brody Ridley Motorsports Graphics is responsible for the Yenko-inspired stripes.

Interior: Jeremy Foster aka “Worm” handled the interior in the S-10, outfitting it with a stock-style red interior, complete with stock door panels, carpet and headliner. The Kirkey racing seats, RCI harnesses and funny-car style cage provide safety for Johnathon, while the Grant steering wheel, Auto Meter gauges and custom switch panel finish off the functional cockpit. In the bed, you’ll find an aluminum fuel cell, dual nitrous bottles and an Optima yellow-top battery.

Performance: On the truck’s first outing since its makeover, Johnathon blasted down the eighth mile in 5.59 seconds at 121 miles per hour. With 1.19-second 60-foot times and plenty of power to build upon, this truck is destined for some low 5-second passes.
