William H. Bonney should be accepted for Billy the Kid.

Including Kevorkian in this quiz is ridiculous. Assisting terminally ill patients end their pain at their behest is just a little different than what these other people did.

Wow, not heard of any of those over here in Britain! Except Al Capone but I didn't realise that was the same "Scarface".

I don't really consider Kevorkian a criminal either but technically he was convicted and served a sentence.

Jack Mcgurn should also be acceptable for "Machine Gun", seeing as how he was a big player in Al Capone's gang and is believed to be the principle assassin and planner if the infamous St. Valentines Day Massacre

We take pride in our psychopaths here in the U.S.A. :+) Maybe we should have a quiz associating gangster charcters with the correct movie.

Machine Gun Kelly is from John Dillinger's gang. That's the only way I've ever heard it. And first names shouldn't matter, you can type the last name in.

13 out of 16 thanks to a middle school fascination with true crime. The subway vigilante was Bernie Goetz.

No expert, but I always heard "Bonney" as well. McCarty rings no bells for me. How can there be confusion over that?

Frittered away time thinking that "Scarface" was the Al Pacino character, before finally realizing it was good old Al Capone! Knew the Unabomber, but couldn't spell his last name :(

I felt like a real idiot that I couldn't get "Lucky" Lucciano. And "Theodore Robert Bundy" should be accepted for "Campus Killer/Lady Killer".

@churchofmisery: Just curious, why would you type "Theodore Robert Bundy" rather than just "Bundy"?

I agree that Kevorkian doesn't belong here. Also,in the movie Young Guns, both the names William H. Bonney and Henry McCarty are mentioned, so I assume he used them both.

I'm irritated by the fact that you have to give their real names. The quiz says give the nicknames. It should have been done the other way around.
