Answer: The character Dave Ryder in the 1988 film Space Mutiny, an earnest action hero who chases the bad guy by commandeering what appears to be a Zamboni floor polisher. I transcribed these forty sobriquets from an episode of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 in which the crew shouts out alternative names for Dave every time he barges into a scene.
