<\/div>

A well-rounded fictional character is one that fully inhabits their world. They often have an elaborate back story that includes what role they serve in their society. So as long as they\u2019re human beings or similar, living within two or three centuries of the present day, why shouldn\u2019t they have personalised Business Cards<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to get it right though. Just as it is in the real world, some characters in the movies hit a home run with their Business Cards, and some miss the mark. We take a look at some on-screen examples and decide what\u2019s a <\/span>HIT<\/b> and what\u2019s a <\/span>MISS<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Squid Games (2021) <\/span>HIT<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"
\nWith its distinctive trio of shapes and promise of debt relief, the Squid Games Business Card sent a simple message, but one that was to have sinister consequences. Not only was the card successful within the story, attracting hordes of debt-laden hopefuls to sign up, but it also became an iconic prop in Netflix\u2019s most successful global series ever. Regardless of the chilling outcome, you can\u2019t deny that level of engagement!<\/span><\/p>\n

American Psycho (2000) <\/span>MISS<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"American
\n\"Patrick
\nIn one of the film\u2019s most memorable scenes, Christian Bale\u2019s character comes pretty much dead last in the battle of the American Psycho Business Cards. Van Patten\u2019s card is eggshell with Romalian type. Timothy Bryce has raised lettering on pale nimbus white. Paul Allen\u2019s Business Card even has a watermark! Patrick Bateman\u2019s Business Card is a MISS and he knows it. Watch out, Paul Allen!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Fight Club (1999) <\/span>HIT<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"\"Business
\n\u201cYou are not the contents of your wallet\u201d proclaimed Tyler Durden, but he does a good job of summing up his cosmetics venture on his Business Card. It\u2019s got branding, USPs, imagery, and clear contact details. The first rule of Business Cards? DO talk about your business.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Rushmore (1998) <\/span>HIT<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Max<\/a>\"Business
\n<\/span>This early Wes Anderson classic follows Max Fischer, played by Jason Schwartzman,\u00a0 as he endeavours to perpetuate his attendance at the titular Rushmore Academy. The very fact that this perennial high schooler has a Business Card says far more about the character than the text it features. Yet despite the meagre info, its simple clarity shines through.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Enemy of the State (1998)<\/span> MISS<\/b><\/h2>\n
\"Enemy
Image care of moviemistakes.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When it comes to Business Cards, accuracy is key. It\u2019s always worth proofreading your content after taking a break or getting a colleague to check it for you. That goes for the fictional world too. You certainly don\u2019t want to end up on <\/span>moviemistakes.com<\/span><\/a> like Tony Scott\u2019s 1998 film, Enemy of the State, in which Will Smith\u2019s character Robert Dean Clayton seems unsure of his own email address.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dark Knight (2008) <\/span>MISS<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Dark
\nZero points for effort. Contact details probably aren\u2019t the priority when you\u2019re looking to evade law enforcement. On the upside, it\u2019s instantly recognisable to anyone that sees it. But still, what about personalisation? Customisation? Unique design? This off-the-shelf solution not only lacks individuality but also spoils a set of playing cards. He obviously hadn’t read our guide on what to include on a Business Card<\/a>! <\/span>Sorry Joker, but this one fails to land.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) <\/span>HIT<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"On
\nEye-catching, illustrative, and colourful; this card is a bold and accurate representation of Mr Ventura\u2019s services. Contact details are absent from the front facing of the card, so we have to hope they\u2019re featured on the reverse. Beyond a banging Business Card, though, Ace Ventura hasn\u2019t aged well. Many of those involved in the making of the film have since expressed regret at its <\/span>portrayal of transgender people<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Social Network (2010) <\/span>MISS<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Jesse
\n\"Social
\n<\/span>It\u2019s good to know that even the king of online networking knows the value of a Business Card. Such a shame he couldn\u2019t keep it classy. Sadly, the \u2018joke\u2019 on the card, which the real-life Mark Zuckerberg once carried, pretty much confirms what you already suspected about the Facebook founder\u2019s sense of humour and social skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bedazzled (2000) <\/span>HIT<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Bedazzled
\n\"Devil's
\nLiz Hurley\u2019s infernal character in Bedazzled doesn\u2019t mess about. This is just the kind of self-confidence that Zuckerberg\u2019s card aims for and misses. And while the Dark One\u2019s professional ethics may occasionally dip below those of the social media mogul, her Business Card game is definitely more righteous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Men In Black (1997) <\/span>MISS<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Men
\n\"Agent
\nContinuing the minimalist theme, Agent K in Men in Black drops this spartan effort on Will Smith\u2019s James over a cheeky Chinese. Whereas we all know where the Devil lives (see above, or should we say below?), K has had to handwrite an address on this occasion. While adding a personal touch is a great idea, doing so as an afterthought isn\u2019t the way to do it. Furthermore, the card only features the initials of his organisation and doesn\u2019t state his name at all. You have to wonder why he\u2019s bothered with Business Cards at all!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Simpsons (1989 onwards) <\/span>MISS<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In common with Agent K, Lionel Hutz, the hapless lawyer in The Simpsons, has also taken a pen to his Business Card. In the case of Lionel Hutz Vs. the Business Card, a sprinkling of punctuation entirely changes the meaning of his message. As well as demanding money up front, the card also appears to be dog-eared around the edges and missing one corner. Objection!<\/p>\n

Better Call Saul (2015-2022) <\/span>HIT<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keeping things legal, we move on to attorney Jimmy McGill, a.k.a Saul Goodman and his Better Call Saul Business Card. This certainly isn’t the most tasteful or beautifully designed card we\u2019ve ever seen, but it\u2019s got a lot of undeniably powerful attributes working for it. It couldn\u2019t be clearer what service is being offered here. The image is engaging, with Mr Goodman adopting that Lord Kitchener pose. And of course, most effective of all is that potent and memorable tagline: Better Call Saul!<\/p>\n

If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll enjoy reading about this genius Better Call Saul marketing<\/a> campaign that Netflix launched to promote it.<\/p>\n

Roadrunner (1949 onwards) <\/span>MISS<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Roadrunner
\nThe erstwhile antagonist in this long-running cartoon is a coyote, a carnivorous canine native to North America. While they have brains, they\u2019re somewhat smaller than wolves, and the species is not known to migrate \u2013 facts that would seem to undermine claims made on Mr Coyote\u2019s Business Card. What\u2019s more, he neglects to feature any specific information or contact details – the acme of foolishness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seinfeld (1989-1998) <\/span>HIT<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Seinfeld
\nJerry Seinfeld\u2019s boundary-bursting buddy has a Round Corner Business Card<\/a> that manages to be no-nonsense and all-nonsense at the same time. Foreshadowing 21st-century job titles, Cosmo Kramer self-identifies as a \u2018bagel technician\u2019, a position you could quite easily imagine advertised right now at indeed.com. Trailblazing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back to reality…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We hope you\u2019ve enjoyed our round-up of on-screen Business Cards. We\u2019ve seen that some fictional folks can exercise artistic licence when it comes to mundane details like business particulars and contact info. In the real world, we have a duty to include such things, but there\u2019s still plenty of room for creativity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
