* ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' much like the Tolkien examples below, most of the cast get this.
** The Pevensie siblings Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are seriously badass compared to the books. Not that they were wimps by any stretch in C.S Lewis's original work, they being pacifistic kid heroes just fought battles infrequently and in some books (like ''The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'') not at all, instead relying on Aslan to save the day. In the films however, Peter and Edmund give Aragorn a run for his money in the badass OneManArmy MasterSwordsman department as well as showing hand to hand combat skills they didn't display in the book. Edmund in particular not only personally foils the White Witch Jadis's resurrection with a sneak attack in ''Film/PrinceCaspian'' but in the ''Film/TheVoyageOfTheDawnTreader'' he's the one who saves the day by killing the BigBad Sea Serpent with Peter's CoolSword Rhindon, neither of which happened in the books. By the same token Caspian is made to be more of an action hero, enaging in several fights in his movie and the sequel unlike the books where he either just fled to safety or resolved matters non-violently.
** Susan deserves her own special mention. Due to the StayInTheKitchen ValuesDissonance of the books Susan didn't get involved with in any of the battles like Peter and Edmund did and is too "tender hearted" to hurt anyone, she only uses her [[ArcherArchetype bow and arrow]] to fight once in ''Prince Caspian'' to startle a Telmarine who was going to drown Trumpkin by shooting an arrow at his helmet. In contrast to films, ''especially'' the second one where Susan gets involved in the action alongside her brothers and racks up a large Telmarine body count with her own [[ImprobableAimingSkills incredible]] [[MasterArcher archery skills]], including at one point ''throwing one of her arrows'' into mook's torso to kill him. To a lesser extent Lucy gets this in ''Voyage of the Dawn Treader'' as she fights slavers who attack her, Edmund and Caspian in Doorn, unlike the book where she and the others got captured immediately.
** Eustace get this upon turning into a dragon in ''Voyage of the Dawn Treader''. In the book version, he is only transformed for a brief peroid before Aslan cures him and due it being a DespairEventHorizon for him, he didn't do anything particuarly cool as a dragon just flying around and lighting a campfire with his dragon's breath. In the film Eustace's time as a dragon is expanded and he helps the ''Dawn Treader'' go faster by pulling it along with his tail while flying and he actually helps out in the FinalBattle as both a dragon and a human (once Aslan changes him back).
** Trumpkin the Dwarf, while skilled with a sword and bow is still a very goofy character in the book version of ''Prince Caspian''. In the film Trumpkin is much more grizzled and badass, displaying NervesOfSteel even while captured and at BigBad Miraz's mercy and of course does much more fighting beyond just slaying one wild bear to save Lucy like he does in the book. Since he's played by Creator/PeterDinklage, this is to be expected.
** Reepicheep the talking mouse, while fearless in the books is more of a silly character like Trumpkin who doesn't do any real fighting and whose main role is in the story is being TheHeart who inspires others into bravery. In the films he still provides moral support and comedic relief, but also shows real badassery taking down scores of men himself with his tiny sword. His hammy moments from both the ''Prince Caspian'' and ''Dawn Treader'' books are toned down and he's cooler and more sauve in the films as a result.
** Miraz the antagionist of ''Prince Caspian'' gets a great deal of this. In the book he was the usual DirtyCoward monarch who got manipulated by his more competent subordinates and most embarrsingly he knocks himself out during his duel with Peter by tripping over a tussock In the film Miraz is made to be geuinely threating displaying a calculating cold bloodedness, [[VillainousValour not even showing fear]] when his nephew Caspian holds a sword to his throat and when a goddamn minotaur climbs to his balcony to kill him Miraz just pushes the beast off. He also puts up a better fight againist Peter, almost killing him in their duel.
** The Sea Serpent in ''The Voyage of the Dawn Treader''. In the book it's described by Lucy as a "dumb creature" as all it does is wrap itself around the Dawn Treader before the crew free themselves by pushing againist the Serpent's coils making the ship pop out, which seems to amuse the creature and it doesn't pursue them. In the film, the Sea Serpent is an AnimalisticAbomination MentalMonster brought to life by the Dark Island [[YourMindMakesItReal through Edmund's thoughts]] and it acts the FinalBoss of the film trilogy.

** Depending on the movie, Bond himself may count. Fleming's books (at least, the early ones) tend to be less splashy affairs than the movies, and Bond often gets his ass handed to him by the villain and/or his henchmen. Meanwhile, some of the movies portray him as a MadeOfIron OneManArmy who can mow down ''dozens'' of mooks without stopping for a breath (only for a smoke).

* Will Graham gets in the ''Film/RedDragon'' film. In [[Literature/RedDragon the Thomas Harris book]], Will is more of a realistic subversion of the cool detective, being largely a NonActionGuy whose sole (off-page) moment of real action: shooting Garrett Jacob Hobbs while the latter was murdering his own family, [[{{Deconstruction}} psychologically scarred him]] to point of needing intensive psychotherapy. Will's "capture" of Hannibal Lecter in the book wasn't a splashy affair, with Will just realising Lecter is the killer he's hunting after picking up clues in the doctor's office and going to make the phone call -- at which Lecter sneaks up behind Will and slashes him with a knife almost disemboweling him and the FBI are the ones who save the day. In the film Graham is more traditionally badass, as when Lecter suprise stabs him, Will manages to stay concious long enough to subdue the doctor stabbing Lecter right back with some nearby arrows and shooting him a few times for good measure (impressive given how much of an InvincibleVillain Hannibal is usually portrayed as). A similar occurance happens during the climax [[spoiler: when Francis Dolarhyde in the TwistEnding attacks Will and his family at their house. In the book, Dolarhyde takes Will completely by surprise, overpowerng him and disfiguring him with a knife -- forcing Will's wife Molly to have be a ActionMom and kill the sonofabitch herself. In the film, Dolarhyde takes his stepson Willy hostage and Will exploits Francis's childhood truama to make him let the boy go and he manages to wound Dolarhyde despite getting cut up himself. While Molly is the one who finishes off Dolarhyde like in the book, it's clear Will did the heavy lifting in this version.]]
** This hardly [[OlderThanTheyThink the first adaptation]] to give Will this treatment however. In 1986's ''Film/{{Manhunter}}'', Will is a grizzled CowboyCop and all around loose cannon who kicks far more ass than he did on the page. Take for example the moment when ImmoralJournalist Freddy Lounds bugs Will as he's leaving the station, in the book he just ingores him and in the 2002 film shoves him away, but in the 80s film Will actually judo throws Freddy onto a car (breaking the windscreen) telling Lounds in no uncertain terms to fuck off. [[spoiler: In the climax, Will is the one who kills Dolarhyde, unlike the book and 2002 film.]] ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'' would make Will TruerToTheText, greatly downplaying the ActionHero elements to his character.

** Bilbo Baggins is a lot more quick-witted, competent and takes the initiative in the movie, and on several occasions--most notably the encounter with the Trolls--manages to accomplish more in moments where he was saved by someone else in the book. In the book, he doesn't really start pulling his weight until he saves the Company from the spiders, while the movie gives him a BigDamnHeroes moment saving Thorin from Azog immediately following the Goblin encounter.
** The dwarf company is more badass than they were in the book. All armed to the teeth, they are raking in high kill-counts in many scenes where they simply slipped away unnoticed or with minimal trouble, like Goblin Town and the Barrel Ride. Oh they also overpower Smaug the dragon at one point.
** In the movies, Smaug's hide is tough all over, and can only be successfully damaged by Black Arrows fired from a dwarvish wind-lance, whereas the book version's scales were soft on the underside and instead had a waistcoat of treasure embedded in them to make up for this. Smaug's weak spot is subsequently changed to a single chink where a scale is missing — and even then, it took multiple hits from two wind-lance fired Black Arrows to give him that weak spot! Furthermore, while the book counterpart was no wimp by any stretch of the imagination, this version of Smaug endures and bounces back from a lot of punishment that his book counterpart was never known to (from having giant metal constructs falling atop him in a seemingly bottomless underground shaft, to getting drowned in molten gold), as well as being somewhat more persistent when the dwarves have entered the Lonely Mountain.
** Radagast the Brown from the books was something of a coward and abandoned his mission because he couldn't gather the courage to face the Nazgûl head on.

** Like the above, Psyduck also gets the same treatment as in the anime. In the games, it's a less than mediocre, [[ComMons dirt-common]] mon (hell, even its evolved form Golduck is a MasterOfNone). Here, it's a greatly feared, nearly uncontrollable [[PersonOfMassDestruction Mon of Mass Destruction]] that can defeat multiple genetically-enhanced Greninja in a single hit.

** Compared to the theatrical cut, Batman steps up more to coordinate the team and strategize, making him more visible in the action sequences. He gets tossed around less and his ability to multi-task is increased, making his role in the FinalBattle considerably more useful, essentially handling the elimination of Parademons and their defense turrets around Steppenwolf's base all on his own. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Oh, and]] he does [[AdaptationalIntelligence know Icelandic]].

*** Ilyanna Rasputin despite her magic is WeakButSkilled in the comics, even ComicBook/BlackWidow can easily hold her own against her in fight as seen in ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'' and her fancy Soulsword has no effect on non-magic foes. In the film not only does the Soulsword work on anyone but she can open portals to limbos on a whim and boost her physical abilities including covering her sword arm in metal. Particularly impressive, considering Ilyanna didn’t have any magical training in this version.
