BiKeHEaD: A band that has spent the last 4 days driving around looking for a party to play at. BiKeHEaD consists of Steve, Matt S, and Eric, and only appears in the first scene of the movie (although the actors involved in this scene play other characters in the movie aswell). In the movie, Steve and Matt S play themselves, while Eric is played by Matt C. Although technically part of the move, the scene with BiKeHEaD has nothing to really do with From Benetiz to Benetiz (which has caused great confusion to many viewers), but rather is sort of a short film dedicating the movie From Benetiz to Benetiz to the death of the joke-band BiKeHEaD and to celebrate their glorious entrance into the realm of film (although after this movie was filmed, BiKeHEaD did produce another EP, where each member of the band dies in a song, and they are all reborn to die again in the final song of the EP). This scene with BiKeHEaD also serves to introduce various background elements of the movie.
Accountant: The role of the account is to assist Eric in looking over the potential earnings sheet that Steve provided while discussing changing the name of the band. Despite having an extremely short role in the movie and being an entirely irrelevant character, the accountant causes a great deal of confusion among those who know BiKeHEaD in real life. The confusion occurs because the accountant is played by the real Eric of BiKeHEaD, but in the movie Matt C plays the character Eric because the real Eric plays Murdoch. After the explosion, the character Eric is vaporized and his accountant lies dead on the ground. All that remains of the character Eric is his coffee mug. When Steve says �Eric�s death means nothing on the battle field,� he is referring to the character Eric.
Benetiz: Evil dictator of Vietnam, has won the last 2 afro growing competitions, is unable to run again this time.
Edgar Snow: An adventurous research specialist who wishes to enter the afro growing competition but is informed that his large beard does not qualify as an afro. His demise comes when he is eaten alive by a man-eating afro.
Murdoch Mclean: Our hero, a park ranger and competitive afro grower who decides compete in the quad-annual afro growing competition to rule the country.
Little Shanghai: Murchoch�s prize trophy wife, who is kidnapped later in the movie
Humpman: An inventor who travels the country trying to sell his latest invention, a synthetic hump. He is killed by Ben, who mistakes him for a camel because of the hump.
Chandru: Can grow the perfect Afro, captured by Leonard and Part 6, dies in a car accident. The character Chandru may cause confusion among those who know the cast because the actor who plays the role of Ben is named Chandru. The actor Kevin, however, plays the character of Chandru.
Leonard and Part 6: Associates of Ben, capture Chandru, at random times they fuse together and become a VHS copy of the movie Leonard Part 6. Both die in a car accident. (1st picture = Part 6 and Leonard left to right, 2nd picture=VHS)
Ben: Has Leonard and Part 6 capture Chandru to try and use him to win the afro growing competition. Kills Humpman is a terrible case of mistaken identity. Dies in a car accident.
Wally: A competitive afro grower who dies of malnutrition supposedly brought upon himself due to his special afro-growing diet.
Hugh Tide (aka Dr. Hubert Tide): Half-shark (alligator?), half-man; he/she/it is one of Billy Mays� most notorious henchmen with suspected roles in the death of Wally, Ben, Chandru, Leonard, and Part 6. Also delivers the fake message from Benetiz (actually from Billy Mays) to Murdoch, and has a role in Murdoch�s creation.
Billy Mays: At first his role in the movie is unclear, but later on we find out that Vietnam is not sovereign, but is in fact under corporate rule and that he is the true ruler of the country, while Benetiz is simply one of his henchmen.
Cat Vent Moon Assault: An odd character, little is know of him and his shadowy involvement in the plot besides the fact that he is an associate of Billy Mays and has a hand in setting up (and perhaps rigging) the afro growing competition.
