Rudy

Rudy is one of the main antagonists of the film and is one of the most frequently-seen Klowns. He was also the second Klown to appear on screen, (the first being Jumbo). He sometimes carries a bag, which probably contains popcorn.

Appearance

Rudy has red hair and blue eyebrows. He wears a blue, orange, black, pink, and purple striped suit with three ball patterns on the front, along with matching shoes and a pink and orange frilly collar.

Role in the film

Rudy was first seen carrying a cotton candy cocoon into the storage room and hanging it next to the others. While he was at the Popcorn Incubator, he heard Mike and Debbie knock over a jar, alerting him of their presence. He grabbed a Popcorn Bazooka and shot at the humans, then joined Spikey in using a balloon bloodhound to hunt them down. Rudy and Spikey were both knocked down by Mike's car, but were unhurt.

Rudy then accompanied the other Klowns into Crescent Cove, where he briefly pretended to be an animated storefront dummy, (there was an animated gorilla dummy already on display), as two young women walked by. He was next seen assisting Shorty in collecting items from the shop for unknown reasons. Rudy was seen knocking down umbrellas and clumsily (and loudly) grabbing seemingly random items from the shelves, frightening the store owner, Mr. Myers, who called the police. Shorty, in his curiosity, accidentally sprayed a white substance onto Rudy’s face, causing him to lose his balance and fall. When last seen at the store, Rudy had piled up various items into a cart and was at the checkout counter, showing that he has some knowledge of how human stores work. Judging from the screams heard by Officer Mooney over the telephone, either he or Shorty may have killed Mr. Myers.

Rudy, Bibbo, and Slim later attacked Debbie in her house and captured her in a giant balloon. Rudy then joined Slim, Bibbo, Chubby, and Shorty in taking a ride in the Klown Kar with Debbie (trapped in a balloon and tied to the bumper), then killing off an annoying policeman with acid pies.

Rudy also came out when Debbie, Mike, and Dave were discovered in the Big Top and was the closest to hitting Mike in the highest row until Mike pushed him off. However, he was never seen leaving with the rest of the Klowns when their leader Klownzilla came in. It is confirmed that he survived the Big Top explosion with all the other Klowns.

Dialogue

Rudy is the only Klown to have demonstrated that the Klowns actually speak a language of their own in spite of hardly ever talking even to each other. He spoke something that is pronounced "Balloona" to Spikey who was at the time constructing a balloon bloodhound to hunt down Mike & Debbie. It probably meant, "Hurry". Rudy also spoke something that vaguely sounded like "Bumblebee" which probably meant "Come with me" to the other Klowns marching with him to Crescent Cove after he, Bibbo, and Spikey failed to catch Mike and Debbie.
