Andy "Bucky" Buck is a major character in Jeepers Creepers 2. He is the manager for the Bannon High School basketball team and chosen prey for the Creeper when he attacks the bus. He was played by Billy Aaron Brown.
Jeepers Creepers 2[]
Bucky was singing and celebrating with his fellow team members after the Bannon Bantams won the state high school basketball championship. They hoisted their victory banner at a passing truck. The bus blows a tire, while the adults investigate, Bucky sits in the driver seat and listens with everyone else to the radio of the Poho County update of the discovery of the recently burned down and exhumed church. He reacts with shock to the horrors described of the hundreds of bodies found as well as the age of some of them being over 200 years old. The story gets interrupted as bus driver Betty Borman returns to radio for help. Almost everyone exits the bus.
Bucky was peeing outside next to Izzy Bohen when Jake Spencer stepped up, pulled his pants all the way down and began talking to Izzy about wanting him to write more about him and questions why Dante Belasco gets more ink. Jake believes Izzy is writing about Dante because he has a crush on him possibly being gay. Bucky gets angry at Jake as he pees on Bucky's shoes. Jake berates him, telling him to go sniff some jockstraps to which Bucky challenged his ability to manage the team in his place. Jake ignores him and Bucky told him to "eat shit" and left.
With being unable to reach anyone, the adults decided they can limp the bus home. At night, when the team is asleep, it blew another tire. Although the coaches order everyone off the bus, soon after they discover that it was probably sabotage after discovering a similar weapon from the first time. Betty insisted everyone get back on the bus as she believes something is wrong, they get everyone back aboard. Bucky then used the C.B. radio to try and get help. While he was doing this, both coaches and the bus driver were then abducted by the Creeper.
Bucky was trying to radio for help and none of student's cell phones were working. In the heat of panic and argument, the students soon witness the Creeper for themselves, as it began to skulk the bus and sniffing out the students, looking at and making strange gestures particularly at Bucky with Jake Spencer, Dante Belasco, Scott Braddock, Minxie Hayes, and Deaundre "Double D" Davis. Minxie then passed out and had a psychic vision. She awakens and informs the other students of the creature's nature and that what it did was pick out people it wanted to eat.
The Creeper trying to abduct Bucky
Bucky then panics and goes to radio to continue calling for help eventually reaching someone. He spoke to Jack Taggart Sr. and begged him to call the police. When Jack promised to (although in reality, he didn't), everyone on the bus celebrated. However, he and the others failed to see that the Creeper was back. It rose to the top of the bus and pierced the roof of the bus, grabbing Bucky's head. As Bucky screamed for help, Izzy and Double D try to pull him down. Another student, Rhonda Truitt, successfully hurt the Creeper by sticking a javelin through its head, forcing him to drop Bucky. The Creeper was forced to get the javelin off its head by ripping part of its own head off.
The Creeper flies away but shortly after falls down from the sky and crashed on the roof of the bus. Not knowing whether the creature was dead or alive, the students decided to leave the bus. However, the doors were deliberately jammed shut by Creeper when he flew up and slammed the bus on impact. The Creeper's wings slowly budge through the hole in the roof. While the students in the back try to come to front so they can escape through the doors, Dante plays with the wings which ensnares him. Bucky watches in horror as the Creeper beheads Dante, making Dante's headless body flail around for a few more seconds before falling to the ground. The Creeper devours Dante's head and replaces its damaged head with it before flying away.
Scott Braddock, not caring whether the Creeper was coming back or not, tried to order and persuade the other students that the ones the Creeper was interested in off of the bus. Bucky was one of them and he curses out Scott. After a tense confrontation between Scotty and D, the students decide to leave the bus to find a farm that seems to be close by for help. Bucky can be heard questioning if leaving the bus was a good idea as help is still on the way. Another student responds to Bucky saying staying on the bus is now a death trap, insisting Bucky to get off too. However, shortly after departing the bus, the Creeper gets spotted causing everyone to run back. However, another student Jonny Young stayed on the bus and closed everyone out refusing to let anyone back in. Bucky was on the hood of the bus banging on the windshield, begging to be let in.

With the Creeper swooping in, everyone was forced to run into the fields. Bucky jumped off the hood and was able to run fast enough to the front of the group. Bucky can be screaming in horror as he witnessed Jake being killed instantly by the Creeper tossing his shuriken at Jake's head. After a while, Bucky was able to get back onto the bus by jumping into the hole the Creeper made the first time he attempted to abduct him. The only students there were Jonny and Chelsea Farmer (who came back to the bus off-screen, and Jonny let back in), noticeably backing away and keeping their distance from him. He told them he ran about 10 miles but found no farmhouse. The two begged him to leave since the Creeper is after him. He begged them to not make him go back out, however, the Creeper grabbed Bucky by the head and once again tried to pull him through the roof. This time, however, Jonny and Chelsea decided to stand back to let the Creeper take him. However, the Creeper lets him go of as the Taggarts showed up, stared the Creeper down before Jack, Sr. hit it with his harpoon.

Bucky watches helplessly with Jonny and Chelsea on the bus as Taggart, Sr. battles the Creeper. The Creeper attempted to fly through the bus to attack Jack Sr., however, Jack yells to the students to get down as he shoots his harpoon right through the windows and blasts the Creeper down. However, the Creeper gets back up and slices the bus in half and flips over the Taggarts truck. They all gather as Jacky, Jr. tends to his dad, off-screen they may have flipped the truck right side up. Bucky later seen with the Taggarts, Minxie, Chelsea, and Jonny who make it just in time to rescue Double D, as the Creeper was ready to devour him to heal its injuries. Bucky is last seen with his surviving classmates as they all witness Jack Taggart, Sr. stab the Creeper 35 times. The Creeper then glares at Jack, Sr. and goes into hibernation. Bucky stands and looks at the now sleeping Creeper, reflecting on his survival along with the others.
Trivia[]
- Bucky has been saved twice by the Creeper in the second film, both times because the Creeper was forced to drop him, allowing him to ultimately survive the night
- First time was by Izzy, Double D, and more importantly, Rhonda by jamming a javelin to the Creeper's head
- The second time was because of the Taggarts arrival forcing the Creeper to be ready for battle
