Twisted Metal: Black

Twisted Metal: Black is a live-action dark comedy/horror/action film by Eli Roth. It centers its plot directly from the original video game "Twisted Metal: Black", released June 19, 2001. Unlike the game, however, the movie is basically more of a storyline than the original game.

• Charlie Kane and Son (portrayed by Nick Frost and Frankie Jonas): They are drivers of Yellow Jacket, a banged-up taxi cab average in everything but special ratings, which are highly great. Charlie was shot by a passenger in the head in front of his son, some time ago. However, the unnamed son (who possibly has autism) worked as a mechanical savant on his father, and reanimated him. He is the second protagonist of the movie.

• Marcus Kane (portrayed by John Kramer): He is the driver of Minion; also Needles's split personality. He is great with everything in ratings, possible.
