Zohanele "Zohan" Dvir, also known as Scrappy Coco, is the titular main protagonist of the 2008 comedy film You Don't Mess with the Zohan. He is a former Israeli counter-terrorist who immigrated to the United States of America so that he could live his dream and start a new life as a hairstylist.
He was played by Adam Sandler, who has also portrayed Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Bobby Boucher, Little Nicky, Davey Stone, Whitey Duvall, Skeeter Bronson, Sam Brenner, Dracula in the first three Hotel Transylvania films, Q*bert in Pixels, Donny Berger, Hubie Dubois, and Archie Moses.
Personality[]
Zohan is a carefree hearted who loves taking care of other people's hairs. Whether he makes them bald or bountiful. Aside from his hobby, he is skilled martial arts to kick countless bad guys' butts infinite times. Near the end of the film, he made a heroic bond and friendship with both Fatoush "Phantom" Hakbarah and Salim, his former enemies.
History[]
At the beginning of the film, Zohan was having fun at a beach in Israel with countless men and women. He prepares foods for everyone he befriended. When the vacation time was finished, Zohan embarked on a mission to fight Phantom Hakbarah, a Palestinian superhuman and fellow soldier who's his archenemy. He then let his rival win by faking his own death so that he could pursue his dream as a hairdresser by secretly immigrating to the U.S., as well as the fact that he's eventually tired of his life as a counter-terrorist soldier.
In his first few moments of being in that country, specifically in New York City, he met Michael Klayman after a vehicular accident. He has also found a number of of fellow Middle Easterners living and working in the Lower Manhattan area, as well. One of them is Oori, a fellow Israeli immigrant who works at an electronic business humorously named Going out of Business.
Another Middle Eastern immigrant who works in that area is Dalia Hakbarah, who's instead a Palestinian who is an established hairstylist and the owner of Rafaela's Salon, where he would eventually get his job there, although he was originally applied as that salon's cleaner only. After one of the salon's hairstylists quit for rental reasons, Zohan finally managed to get his dream job of becoming a hairdresser. He also fell in love with Dalia, as well (but unbeknownst to him at first, she's Phantom's younger sister).
Despite Zohan's successful deception of letting himself be beaten by Phantom, their rivalry did not exactly end there yet. The same thing can be said with his other old nemesis Salim, another Palestinian whose personal rivalry with Zohan is that the latter had stolen the former's goat before. Through this, Salim tells to Phantom that Zohan's still alive, leading Phantom's supposed victory in vain, and makes deals with Phantom so that Zohan's truly alive state won't be exposed.
After a chaotic outbreak at the Lower Manhattan area, which was done by a group of American terrorists lead by James T. O'Skanlon (while also posing as fake Middle Easterners) under the orders of that area's landlord Grant Walbridge (also an American), almost every actual Middle Easterner berate each other for the incident. Phantom then arrives and tries to fight against the havoc, but Zohan comes to rescue Phantom from the flames with hummus. Phantom was shocked by that action, expecting his ex-rival to fight back, but Zohan is tired of doing that, which was supported by Dalia, who finally revealed herself to Zohan that she's Phantom's sister.
Once the Middle Easterners, including Salim (whom Zohan apologized for taking his goat away from him), put all of their differences aside, they eventually found out that Walbridge was the one who caused that disastrous incident, and both Zohan and Phantom teamed up to fight against the terrorist themselves. During the fight, Walbridge got exposed for his crimes by Nasi (a fellow Palestinian to both Phantom and Salim) through a broadcasting news report. Once they confronted O'Skanlon with a cage full of puppies and a bomb, Zohan and Phantom eventually defeated him with the use of "the Sound" (where Zohan takes melody, while Phantom goes for harmony). The same goes for Walbridge, who was upset about the deflation of his fiancee's breasts before he got arrested. Despite their success, Phantom abruptly destroyed nearly every property in the Lower Manhattan area while he's still chanting the Sound, including Rafaela's salon (where his sister and Zohan worked), upsetting Zohan at first, but is forgiven nonetheless, knowing that they can be fixed, anyway.
After the Lower Manhattan area was cleaned up, and once every single property in that same area was reconstructed, the Middle Easterners eventually return to work there and are now living in peace with each other.
Superpowers[]
- Combat Skills: Zohan is a very skilled combatant who knows when to fight opponents in the best ways as possible.
- Immense Strength: Zohan is surprisingly very strong for an ordinary human being, to which he is also capable of using such power for different instances, such as adjusting metals and going through walls.
- Enhanced Flexibility: Zohan is able to bend and twist their body beyond the normal limits of physiology, although still only from the joints. Their hypermobile joints, muscles, tendons and physiology in general allow the user perform near-boneless looking contortions without stress or damage and stay in any position they choose as long they need without effort or strain.
Trivia[]
- A theory has been going around that the reason why Zohan was shown to do sexual actions towards elderly women was because they are unable to reproduce, thus preventing Zohan from creating offsprings.
- In the cut version of the film, when Michael walked in to see Zohan doing it to his mother, he said he wanted to thank for her Matzah ball soup, while the uncut version stated he hasn't made Sticky for two days and his mother was the closest to a woman.
