Turns out it was actually Wade's son Theron who knocked the girl up - so ironically Wade himself gets killed for something he didn't actually do.]]
* ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'':
** In the first film ''Film/TheTerminator'', the Terminator's very first victim pulled a knife on him, swore at him, and generally made us [[KickTheSonOfABitch feel not too sorry for him]]. Two of the Terminator's later victims, Matt and Ginger, were arguably more sympathetic, but his [[DeathBySex making an obscene phone call and her casual promiscuity]] against the backdrop of the movie's subtle condemnation of the [[LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair proud and parasitic modern society]] that produced them suggests that they're TooDumbToLive.
** ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'':
*** The asylum attendant licks Sarah's face while she's helpless. That way we don't feel bad that her escape plan includes bashing his face in. He's even worse in the extended cut, where he and another guard also assault Sarah before forcing her medication down her throat, which makes the scene where Sarah dispatches him with extreme prejudice - while his fellow guard gets beaten up by the T-101 (Arnold's Terminator) even better.
*** Todd and Janelle, John Connor's foster parents, are portrayed as uncaring and unpleasant, respectively. When T-1000!Janelle speaks in a friendly manner to John on the phone, he says "She's never this nice". The T-1000 kills both of them.
* All of Travis Bickle's victims in ''Film/TaxiDriver''. Despite being something of a [[WellIntentionedExtremist psychopath]], he is sympathetic compared to them - though this may be a case of ProtagonistCenteredMorality, since viewers saw what he did when ''not'' murdering people.
* It's not a murder-mystery, but Steve in the remake of ''Film/DawnOfTheDead2004'' more than qualifies. When he finally gets zombified and then shot in the head you're likely to cheer. Also somewhat applies CJ, who's a bit of a jerk at first but does start to lighten up towards the end, and gets to die in a HeroicSacrifice when he blows himself up to destroy a bunch of zombies so that everyone else can get away.
* All the bikers in the original ''Film/DawnOfTheDead''. Particularly that one guy who [[TooDumbToLive decides that it's a perfect time to check his blood pressure]].
%% * Most, if not, all of the victims meant to die in the accidents in the ''FinalDestination'' series. But especially, [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep The Racist]] in the fourth film. {{Averted}} in 1, 2, and 5 for the most part. Only a small handful (if that) of the victims are asshole victims. They're actually fairly nice people. PlayedStraight in 3 and 4, though.
* Everyone in ''Film/{{Hostel}}'' spends most of the movie doing everything they can to make you hate them, even after they know their friends are being kidnapped and killed. Paxton could be a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, as he risks his life to save complete strangers. [[TheWoobie Josh]] is also always kind to everyone.
* In ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'', David is torn apart and eaten by zombies after saying "I think we can all agree, that was the right thing to do," after Shaun had to kill his own mother. He'd also been an asshole most of the movie, and at one point, even [[MoralEventHorizon tried to shoot Shaun]].
** Apparently this trope was taken into consideration when doing that scene. Originally they had him apologize for his behavior before suffering his fate, but they decided to edit that out, albeit not for character reasons (i.e. they wanted his death to be scarier and seem more sudden). Either way, it worked; when his scene came up, audiences ''cheered''.
** Like most of the movie, this is probably in reference to ''NightOfTheLivingDead'' and in particular the dynamic between Ben and Harry; like Harry, David ''is'' right about a lot of the things that they should be doing, but that doesn't stop him from being an asshole.
* ''Film/SororityRow'' probably has a record for the number of deliberately unsympathetic victims; out of all the people killed maybe one or two qualify for JerkWithAHeartOfGold status. The killer actually {{lampshades}} how horrible the murdered characters all were.
* Mr. Dietrichson in ''Film/DoubleIndemnity'', for the sake of making Neff a SympatheticMurderer.
* In ''Film/ScannersIITheNewOrder'', the main character kills a pair of store-robbing thugs who already killed two clerks and were either about to do the same to his girlfriend, or kidnap her/hold her hostage.
* The black comedy ''Drowning Mona''. Bette Milder played Mona, a woman so universally despised that when she was killed, no one cared about her death (beyond wondering who had finally done the deed) and only her son and husband showed up at her funeral (and they weren't too broken up about it). This made the jobs of the investigators much more difficult, because practically '''''EVERYONE''''' in town had a reason for wanting to kill Mona, making everyone a suspect.
* The mission director in ''Film/{{Gattaca}}'' was ... not universally liked, making the movie an example of reason number three.
* Any villain or villainess that fell victim to the ToxicAvenger.
* In the film ''Film/BlackCloud'', the main character assaults his girlfriend's former boyfriend Eddie after he insults her. Eddie got the girl pregnant and apparently made no effort to make any contact with her or his son for close to four years. Not exactly the nicest person.
* ''Film/GosfordPark''. Though the victim as we see him is portrayed relatively sympathetically, seeming to be a fairly nice old duffer with a horrible harpy of a wife (she tears chunks out of him at dinner in front of all their friends), his past is not so clear and when he is murdered it turns out everyone had a motive. Though in fact all the people with real, personal motives are ignored as [[DeliberateValuesDissonance they are only the servants.]]
* ''Franchise/{{Hellraiser}}'':
** In ''Film/HellraiserInferno'', Detective Joseph Thorne's snitch Bernie is strongly implied to be a pedophile and becomes the third of the Engineer killer's victims.
** Happens in ''Film/HellraiserHellseeker'', where it's revealed that [[spoiler:Kirsty killed her sleazy husband Trevor, who had planned on murdering her for her money; Trevor's best friend, who was in on the plan; and three women Trevor actually videotaped himself cheating on Kirsty with (the women were all also in relationships)]].
* In ''Film/BatmanReturns'', there was Max Shrek, a CorruptCorporateExecutive who tried to kill his secretary by shoving her off a building, and later tried to take over the city by recalling the mayoral election and supporting the Penguin in a bid to become mayor, which almost caused a disaster. (And that's just what's known about.) It's unlikely that anyone felt the least bit sorry for him at the end of the movie when an electricity-enhanced kiss from Selena reduced him to a charred corpse.
* In ''Film/{{Se7en}}'', John Doe thinks he's doing this, though less than half of the victims really qualify as assholes. The "sloth" victim is the only one besides John Doe himself who's established as a genuinely bad person. All the others are unpleasant at worst.
* The titular character in ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052784 El Esqueleto de la Sra. Morales]]'' (Skeleton of Mrs. Morales) suffers a severe case of assholism. To wit: Exploiting a malformation of hers for sympathy, feigning to ba a victim of domestic violence, attempting to poison her husband's pet owl and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking breaking his newly bought camera]].
* ''Film/MenInBlack'': Just before he is killed by the Bug, Edgar is revealed to be a spousal emotional abuser (and possibly a physical abuser too).
-->'''Edgar:''' I go out, I work my butt off for a living, all I want is to come home to a nice clean house with a nice fat steak on the table, but instead I get this. It looks like poison. Don't you take that away, I'm eating that, damn it! It IS poison, isn't it? I swear to God I would not be surprised if it was, the way you skulk around here like a dog that's been hit too much or ain't been hit enough, I can't make up my mind. You're useless, Beatrice. The only thing that pulls its weight around here is my goddamn truck!
-->''(Spaceship crashes into the truck; Edgar proceeds to walk out to investigate)''
-->'''Edgar:''' ...Figures.
-->''(Edgar walks to the crash site)''
-->'''Beatrice:''' What the heck is it, Edgar?
-->''(Edgar turns around quickly)''
-->'''Edgar:''' Get your big butt back in that house!
* ''Film/MenInBlack2'': after Serleena assumes human form in the sequel, she is attacked by a man with a knife and swallows him whole, then proceeds to spit him out and steal his clothes when she realizes that she gained an immense gut as a result of eating him.
* And ''again'' in ''Film/MenInBlack3''. Seems to be a recurring pattern. The villains would first kill someone who honestly deserved it, then follow through with someone who DOESN'T. This villain did it faster than the others.
* Harry Tasker (Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger) uses this justification in ''Film/TrueLies''. Given that he's under the influence of TruthSerum at the time, he must really believe it. And given that he fights terrorists and trigger-happy enemy agents, it sure seems like it could be true:
-->'''Helen Tasker:''' Have you ever killed anyone?
-->'''Harry:''' Yeah, but they were all bad.
* Dr. David Drumlin deserved to get it in the neck for EVERYTHING he does to screw over Ellie Arroway in ''Film/{{Contact}}''.
* This is the premise of ''Film/TheBoondockSaints''. They kill gangsters who couldn't be touched by the police.
* ''Film/EyeForAnEye'' is about a mother who hears her daughter raped and murdered by a grocery deliverer while talking to her on the cell phone, who gets off on a technicality, and decides to kill him.
%% * ''Film/GodBlessAmerica'': TheMovie
* ''Hood of Horror'': the whole film revolves around making people pay for their crimes against man by grotesque brutal death and then hell.
* ''Film/{{Creepshow}}'', being the {{troperiffic}} delight that it is, has lots of fun with this. We've got Nathan (emotionally abusive, murderous father), Bedelia (his insane, drunk-driving, parricidal daughter), Richard (psychotic, murderous Leslie Nielsen), Billie (emotionally abusive, nagging Adrienne Barbeau), and Upson Pratt (CorruptCorporateExecutive). In the final scene of the FramingStory, the boy who was reading the comic is torturing his abusive, hypocritical dad with a voodoo doll. The [[ECComics EC horror comics]] it's influenced by are just chock-full of Asshole Victims and {{Karmic Death}}s.
%% * ''{{Saw}}'' series:
%% ** Danica from ''III''
%% ** Xavier from ''II''
%% ** Dave from ''VI''
%% ** Ivan from ''IV'' stand out.
%% ** The group of racist skinheads from the final movie that are killed for abusing others.
* In ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'':
** Peter Stormare's character (Dieter) [[KickTheDog Kicks The Compsognathus]]. Then a mob of them eat him.
** SmugSnake Peter Ludlow has the bright idea to travel to the island they bred the dinosaurs on and go on a safari so they can bring them back ''to the mainland'' and proceeds to have absolutely no common sense while doing it. This little decision manages to play a distinct part in the deaths in the movie, including his own. The [[DesignatedHero Designated Heroes]] coming in also played SpannerInTheWorks; their actions playing a much more significant part in the movie's deaths. Ludlow then lets desperation override common sense and decides on bringing the T-rex to the mainland after the main characters release all of the considerably less dangerous herbivores he had ''intended'' in capturing..
* In ''Film/WeekendAtBernies'' there was, well, Bernie himself. He was a CorruptCorporateExecutive who was planning on killing the protagonists for unknowingly discovering his scheme, but the mobsters he hired to do it double-crossed him.
* ''Film/JurassicPark'':
** The [[AmoralAttorney smarmy self-serving lawyer]], sent to investigate the safety of the park, very quickly forgets his "investigation" once the images of dollar signs start dancing around in his head. And when it all goes inevitably keel up, [[DirtyCoward he abandons the children to a grisly death to save his own skin]]. So you'll find very few sympathizers in the audience when his bold ploy of hiding and cowering in the toilet fails.
** Music/WeirdAlYankovic's "Jurassic Park":
---> "''A huge tyrannosaurus ate our lawyer
---> Well, I suppose that proves
---> They're really not all bad''".
** Nedry, who drives the whole plot, is about as unappealing a character as he could possibly be without doing intentional murder. And Wayne Knight plays all his slovenly abrasiveness with [[{{Seinfeld}} Newman]]-esque glee.
%% * [[TooDumbToLive Micah]] from ''Film/ParanormalActivity''.
%% * Doc and Mitchy from ''Film/TerrorTrain''.
%% ** Honestly, Terror Train's whole cast should count. Even [[FinalGirl the final girl]].
* Most of the victims in ''Film/{{Madhouse}}'' -- a proto-slasher movie set in a BBC studio -- don't really deserve to die. However, it's hard to feel sorry for the actress who plays Vincent Price's [[DarkMistress assistant]], or for his insane stalker, or for her ''completely'' insane parents.
-->[[GenreSavvy As they say in horror movies]], you will come to a bad end.
* Scotty, in ''The Franchise/EvilDead''. As well as the two rednecks in ''Evil Dead 2''.
* In 2008's ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', Bruce Banner is harassed by some greasy co-workers because he stopped them from sexually harassing a female co-worker. When he's on the run from Blonsky and General Ross he's cornered by them and beaten up a bit. What ensues may be the most satisfying moment in a Marvel movie: he Hulks out and throws them through walls to their death.
* ''Film/DeadSilence''. As soon as he first appears, everyone knows that [[BadCopIncompetentCop Det. Jim Lipton]] will get what's coming to him by the end.
* ''Film/TheRing'': Thanks for killing [[SmugSnake Dr. Emma Temple]], Samara.
* In ''Film/{{Dogville}}'', the viewer actually feels relieved when mobsters kill the whole goddamn population of the titular town, including the children. They're just ''that'' awful.
* Bullies in ''Slasher High''. Jeesh, they deserved to be drowned in the toilet.
%% * Bullies in ''[[HammerHorror Frankenstein Created Woman]]''.
* The downright homicidal bullies in ''Film/LetTheRightOneIn'', both in the original and the remake. Their ultimatum at the end was this: Owen had to hold his breath for 3 minutes, and be [[SarcasmMode rewarded]] with a cut across the cheek. Fail, and he [[EyeScream loses an eye.]] You'll be glad when Eli arrives to kill them all.
* The death of Mrs. Carmody in ''Film/TheMist'' is probably the only joyous moment in the entire film, being as she very nearly got the protagonist's little boy killed. Also everyone in the supermarket could possibly count, if they also eventually succumb to the mist creatures.
* Harlan, from ''Film/ThelmaAndLouise'', tries to rape Thelma but is thwarted by Louise. This doesn't get him killed right away as Louise tells him to be more considerate of women "in the future." What gets him killed is his insistence at being a JerkAss...
-->'''Harlan:''' Bitch! I shoulda gone ahead and fucked her!
-->'''Louise:''' What did you say?
-->'''Harlan:''' I said suck my cock!
-->'''Louise's Gun:''' ''BANG!''
** Followed later by the police investigation:
-->'''Policeman:''' Who do you think did it?
-->'''Cocktail waitress:''' Has anyone asked his wife? She's the one I ''hope'' did it.
* In ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', The Operative's first kill in the movie was Dr. Mathias, the head scientist of the Academy, whose [[PlayingWithSyringes horrible]] [[MindRape experiments]] were responsible for River being driven insane.
* In the [[RecursiveAdaptation original movie]] of ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'', the dentist is practising without a licence. Seymour kills him with the drill (and is then [[CrowningMomentOfFunny forced to operate]] on [[OneSceneWonder a young Jack Nicholson]]. In the second film, based on the play, even though the dentist's character and the context he appears in are somewhat different, the dentist is still the first of many characters to buy it.
* Judging by the trailer, it would seem that the parody ''Film/TuckerAndDaleVsEvil'' takes the slasher movie approach to this trope to it's logical extreme; the 'psycho degenerate hillbillies' are actually a pair of well-meaning but not incredibly bright guys who, through various misunderstandings, are taken to be that way by a bunch of prejudiced, elitist college kids. [[HilarityEnsues Very gory hilarity ensues]] as the kids, much to the confusion and bewilderment of the two, end up accidentally killing themselves while trying to attack the 'evil killers'.
* Both used and deconstructed in the film ''Film/{{Heathers}}'' -- most of the victims are (or seem to be) Asshole Victims but then through the heroine's eyes we see how their deaths affect their loved ones, and see her realize that being an asshole ''isn't worth killing someone over.''
* ''Film/TheTroubleWithHarry'': Everyone thinks they are responsible for his death, but they don't really care.
* In ''Film/VForVendetta'', every named antagonist qualifies as this, with the sole exception of Dr. Delia Surridge. She's a remorseful DeathSeeker who [[GenreSavvy seems to anticipate]] that DeathEqualsRedemption. If her journals can be believed, she hated (or convinced herself to hate) the people she experimented on. V managed to form a connection with her, which brought her to confront her actions and apologize to her only living victim. It's no coincidence, then, that out of all the named antagonists, Dr. Surridge is the only one granted a quiet, painless death.
--> "Is it too late to apologize?"
--> "Never."
--> "I'm so sorry."
* The 2006 remake of ''Film/TheWickerMan'' featured a hysterically funny unintentional example. "Oh no! NOT THE BEES!"
* PlayedForLaughs in a scene in horror movie parody ''Film/ScaryMovie''. One of the teenagers being stalked by the masked killer is watching a movie in a crowded theater; she's being loud and obnoxious, ruining the movie for everyone else. The masked killer is then shown to be sitting in the seat next to her... but before he gets the chance, one of the other movigoers steals his knife and stabs her. He then just sits and drinks his soda while ''all the other audience members'' continue to stab her to death. When she stumbles in front of the screen and finally falls dead, they ''applaud''.
* This trope is exaggerated with the victim in ''Film/MurderOnTheOrientExpress''. It turns out that he was ''everybody's'' victim. In case you [[ItWasHisSled didn't know that already]].
* The Cult members in ''Film/SilentHill''. Very hard to feel sorry for them after you learn they tried to kill Alessa years before by burning her alive, leaving her horribly disfigured and unable to get out of her hospital bed. Also they had just killed Cybil this way.
* The female lead character in Creator/CatherineBreillat's ''Film/{{Romance}}'' blows up her boyfriend in a rigged gas explosion at the end. The murder is about the only happy event in the film...
* The murder victim in the movie ''Film/{{Bully}}'', which is based on a real homicide of a teen who bullied and abused his best friend, his best friend's girlfriend and all of his associates.
* ''Film/KillBill'':
** The orderly/pimp Buck and his customer, who is paying for access to the comatose patients.
** Budd, during a moment of contemplation states that all the members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad are this.
---> ''"That woman deserves her revenge, and we deserve to die. Then again, so does she."''
* A somewhat failed example of this trope happened in the ''Vault Of Horror'' movie. A woman was driven to killing her husband by his OCD need to keep the house neat. However, the actor never really went over the top, and came across more as lecturing than yelling and screaming, to the point where you felt more like they needed to sit down and have a long talk, rather than him deserving to die.
* ''Franchise/{{Predator}}''
** None of the humans in ''Film/{{Predators}}'' are particularly nice, but Stans, a condemned murderer, takes the cake for being the most unsympathetic. Even so, he gets a [[DyingMomentOfAwesome pretty badass sendoff]].
** Dale, Nick, and Mark in AVPR aren't very nice either. Dale, as the leader of the trio, gets the most vicious of the three, the alien's blood burning his face.
* Every single character in the horror movie ''Marcus'' (2006) except Brooke(who's not an asshole) and Marcus(who's not a victim).
* In ''Film/{{Dogma}}'', Loki visits a boardroom of {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s, lists their individual sins (idolatry, adultery, statutory rape, intolerance, etc.), then kills them. He did spare the only one who didn't have any sins. Although she did forget to say [[HairTriggerTemper GOD BLESS YOU!!]]
* This was the reason that nobody found any sympathy for the documentary crew in ''Film/CannibalHolocaust''. One of their crimes involved ''burning down a village'' for no reason other than to shoot a scene. One critic actually noted "The film crew more than deserved their deaths."
* The first victim of ''Film/BubbaHoTep'' is an old woman who steals another nursing home resident's packages from home and swipes the glasses off a woman in an iron lung... while said woman is ''awake''. On the commentary, Don Coscarelli discusses this trope.
* The guy in ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'' who's a {{Jerkass}} that feeds a woman's dog to a snake.
* Everyone who is killed in ''The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane''. Except Gordon.
* A recent updated version of the ''Literature/OliverTwist'' story called ''Twist'' featured the character of Dodger finally snapping, and shooting Bill. By that point in the movie, Bill had either seriously injured or murdered about three-quarters of the cast. In short, he ''really'' had it coming.
* Patrick and Belch in Creator/StephenKing's ''Film/{{It}}''.
* In ''Bride of Chucky'', the fourth ''Film/ChildsPlay'' film, most of Chucky and Tiffany's victims fit this trope. Needle Nose Norton gets paid extra money to follow Jesse and Jade (since Jade's uncle, Warren Kincaid, who is chief of police, hates Jesse and wants to keep him and Jade apart) under the pretense of suspecting them of drunk driving. Warren plants marijuana in Jesse's van to frame him for drug possession. And the couple who rob Jesse and Jade are killed by Tiffany with mirror shards.
* ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'':
** Coach Schneider in ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreetPart2FreddysRevenge''. And this trope is rare in the ''Nightmare'' movies (except ''Film/FreddyVsJason'', which is part ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'', which as listed above is the exact opposite and follows this trope all the time).
** One might apply this Trope to Freddy Krueger himself, seeing as he was a child murderer who was killed by a lynch mob. That only made it worse.
* ''Film/{{Tremors}} 3'' has Agent Frank Statler, Agent Charlie Rusk, and Dr. Andrew Merliss, who prevent the citizens of Perfection from hunting the Graboids so that one can be captured alive for study. They're also willing to seize the property in the valley and kick out the townsfolk under "Eminent Domain" to set up a preserve. None of the three survive the film.
* Everyone in ''Film/FallingDown''. Bill Foster may be [[BewareTheNiceOnes a bit crazy]], but compared to the rest of LA, he's an absolute saint.
* John Strode and Barry Simms in ''Film/HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers'', and a quite number of people in Rob Zombie's ''Film/{{Halloween 2007}}'' and ''Film/HalloweenII2009''.
* ''Film/{{Lockjaw}}'s'' protagonists may have stepped over the boundary. The incident that triggers the plot is them running over someone. The major difference between these teens and the teens from ''Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer''? ''They never noticed they hit anyone'' and when pointed out that they did, they believe they hit an animal and '''moved on'''. Kiiiiinda makes one of the protagonist's WhatTheHellHero speech towards the villain of the film stupid considering they were the ones that caused him to do it in the first place.
* Leroy in ''Film/MysteryTeam''.
* {{Invoked|Trope}} in ''Film/ShootEmUp'', in which the hero deliberately singles out which car to steal because he'd seen its able-bodied driver park in a handicapped spot. No, he doesn't kill the guy, but he explicitly calls him a prick, establishing a similar justification for targeting his vehicle.
* In ''Film/PsychoBeachParty'' Rhonda spends her days being incredibly rude and insulting everybody so watching her die was rather satisfying.
* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in Creator/MNightShyamalan's ''Film/LadyInTheWater''. When a StrawCritic character runs into a monster, instead of running he starts a long monologue on this trope in which an "unlikable" character flees the monster, shuts the door behind him at the last second, and learns a valuable lesson. He is then [[TakeThatCritics torn to death by the monster]].
* Mitchell Laurio in ''Film/{{X2|XMenUnited}}''. He's a thug who's shown to enjoy beating up an old man stripped of any powers that would allow him to fight back, so no one minds too much when Mystique sets him up for a death allowing Magneto to escape.
* In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' there's Sebastian Shaw when he's killed by Magneto near the end. Considering in his first scene alone he killed Magneto's mother right in front of his eyes, it's highly doubtful anybody in the audience really feels any sympathy for him. Charles on the other hand, who was telepathically with Shaw and felt all the pain of his death, is someone to feel sorry for.
* Harry Prebblie in ''Film/TheBlueGardenia'' tries to rape Norah, and is promptly killed just not by her.
* The ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' series:
** Carter Burke in ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.
** Most of the characters in ''Film/{{Alien 3}}'' are convicted murderers and rapists. Some even try to rape Ripley at one point, and Golic is straight-up AxCrazy. It therefore becomes hard to root for a lot of them when the Alien kills them.
** Dr. Mason Wren in ''Film/AlienResurrection''. He cloned Ripley in the first place and brought the Aliens back, he tries to kill Call, and leaves the others for dead so he can hijack their ship and still deliver the Aliens to Earth. His death is particularly karmic.
* ''Film/StrangersOnATrain'': Bye, Miriam. You won't be missed.
* Very deliberately invoked in the 2008 nature horror film, ''Film/GrizzlyPark''. The 8 characters forced into community service in Grizzly Park as rehabilitation for their misdemeanors are deliberately set up to be as obnoxious, apathetic and unsympathetic as possible, each appearing to get a KarmicDeath from the bear trying to kill them. In the end it's revealed the bear belonged to the park ranger who trained it to kill any members of the group. The ranger lets the last survivor live, believing she has made a HeelRealization and learned from her previous mistakes. Nope, he later overhears her (unaware that the ranger was part of the plot) calling her friend telling her she had manipulated him and planned to kill him later - prompting her to be mauled by the bear towards the end of the movie.
* Discussed in ''Film/KillList''. Jay is very insistent that all the people on the titular list are bad people that deserve their deaths. But while there's ample evidence of this for the librarian, you have to take his word for it on the others, raising the possibility that it's just him trying to rationalise the killings.
* ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs''. Dr. Chilton, who was in charge of the facility where Hannibal Lecter was originally imprisoned. He sleazily hits on Clarice Starling and doesn't take it well when she declines him. Hannibal says that Chilton has harassed in the past and there is no reason to disbelieve him. He reveals the [=FBI=]'s attempt to trick Hannibal into cooperating - not because he's offended by their dishonesty, but because he wants to cut his own deal and get publicity. At the end of the movie Lecter is seen trailing Chilton and it's made clear that he's going to kill him and eat him ("I'm having an old friend for dinner.").
* ''Film/{{Scarface 1983}}'':
** [[VillainProtagonist The main character, Tony Montana]] might as well be the ultimate kind of this trope. Although he gets a RedemptionEqualsDeath moment when he [[EvenEvilHasStandards refuses to blow up the journalist's car, along with said person's wife and children by killing Alejandro Sosa's hitman.]] Tony also paid the price for said incident, however, when Sosa sent his men to attack him. His death wasn't played out in a AlasPoorVillain moment either. By the end, we still retain some sympathy for him, but he is still an asshole, including when he killed Gina's future husband, Manny Ribera, because of his over-protectiveness for said sister.
** In addition to being an Asshole Victim himself, Tony's killed several of these guys in his day, such as Emilio Rebenga, an ex-Castro official who tortured a few guys to death while he was working for Fidel; and Mel Bernstein, the corrupt narcotics cop that tries to shake him down and kill him on behalf of Frank Lopez.
* ''Film/ReservoirDogs'':
** Mr. Blonde. A PsychoForHire who kills the clerks in the diamond store, tortures Marvin Nash and attempts to set him on fire. Apparently, the audience didn't feel any sympathy for him when he gets killed by Mr. Orange, who is the real undercover cop.
* Miles Kennefik, who was killed by Frank Costello, according to Captain George Ellerby from ''Film/TheDeparted''. He said that they are not going to solve the case of the "missing scumbag".
* ''Film/HorribleBosses'' has this as the reason the three protagonists are attempting to murder their respective employers. Two of the bosses are dealt with in other ways and survive thus being subversions, but Colin Farrel's character does get killed (albeit not in the way the trio were considering killing him), which makes him an example of this trope.
* In ''Film/PinkFlamingos'', Connie and Raymond Marble definitely fit the bill. Granted, [[VillainProtagonist Divine]] [[CardCarryingVillain is extremely evil herself]], but considering that Connie and Raymond were running a black-market baby ring, and then using the money earned to ''sell drugs to school children'', it's hard to feel sorry for them when they eventually suffer a very humiliating death by Divine's hand.
* Kirby in ''Film/Bait3D''. He's the robber responsible for killing the women at the start, and tries to use another of the survivors as bait. Doyle attacks Kirby in turn and uses him as bait instead.
* Nute Gunray and the other Separatists in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', who are all killed by Anakin Skywalker, who thereby regains a little sympathy after having lost it in his raid on the Jedi temple.
* Jabba the Hutt in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. Most fans do not regret his death.
* [[SmugSnake Admiral]] [[InsaneAdmiral Marcus]] from ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'' gets his head crushed by [[spoiler: John Harrison (or rather, Khan)]].
* Warden Nigel James in ''GIJoeRetaliation''.
* The CIA agent from the beginning of ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', whose plane is crashed by Bane... "with no survivors!"
* A non-lethal example in ''Film/ManOfSteel''. After a bully sexually harasses a waitress in a bar and [[MadeOFIron (tries to)]] gets violent when asked politely to leave, Clark [[spoiler:takes out his truck]]. The damage is ''scary'', but it's hard to feel sorry for the guy.
* Arthur Tressler [[spoiler:and Thaddeus Bradley]] in ''Film/NowYouSeeMe''.
* Hannibal Chau in ''Film/PacificRim'' has one of the other characters sent to a public shelter in the hopes that he'll get eaten by a kaiju. Later [[spoiler: ''he'' gets eaten alive by a baby kaiju. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that he survives and cuts his way out in TheStinger.]]
%% * [[spoiler:Craig]] from ''Film/TheHeat''.
* [[spoiler:Carlyle and Delacourt]] in ''Film/{{Elysium}}''. The former was picked by Max for exactly that reason.
* ''Film/PainAndGain'':
** Victor Kershaw which is part of the reason why cops don't believe his story at first (he was so unpleasant that not one person reported him missing). Ed even says that he is a "very difficult victim to like".
** Subverted, with the later victims who are certainly sleazy, but are nowhere near the jerk levels Kershaw is.
** It also subverted in that as the movie proceeds, Kershaw [[LesserOfTwoEvils ends up]] ''far'' more sympathetic than Lugo.
* ''Film/{{Byzantium}}'': [[spoiler: Ruthven]] deserves his death many times over.
* In ''Film/QueenOfTheDamned'', the first vampire Akasha butchers a club full of remorseless, bloodthirsty vampires who tried to kill Jesse earlier. The other vampires are still shocked at her sheer carnage and delight at devouring them.
* Towards the end of ''Film/TheMadMagician'', The Great Rinaldi meets a fiery demise when he gets trapped in the furnace used for one of his rival [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Don Gallico]]'s illusions. [[LaserGuidedKarma Bonus points because instant karma caught him in the act of attempting to plagiarize said illusion.]]
* In the cop drama ''Film/DarkBlue'', Detective Eldon Perry frames a bunch of known hoodlums for another crime to quickly solve a case on his superior Jack Van Meter's orders. He convinces his partner Bobby to kill an escaping suspect by pointing out that no one will miss the guy anyway, but Bobby is visibly shaken by the act as he points out that this still doesn't make it right.
* ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'':
** In the first film ''Film/TheTerminator'', the Terminator's very first victim pulled a knife on him, swore at him, and generally made us [[KickTheSonOfABitch feel not too sorry for him]]. Two of the Terminator's later victims, Matt and Ginger, were arguably more sympathetic, but his [[DeathBySex making an obscene phone call and her casual promiscuity]] against the backdrop of the movie's subtle condemnation of the [[LookOnMyWorksYeMightyAndDespair proud and parasitic modern society]] that produced them suggests that they're TooDumbToLive.
** ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'':
*** The asylum attendant licks Sarah's face while she's helpless. That way we don't feel bad that her escape plan includes bashing his face in. He's even worse in the extended cut, where he and another guard also assault Sarah before forcing her medication down her throat, which makes the scene where Sarah dispatches him with extreme prejudice - while his fellow guard gets beaten up by the T-101 (Arnold's Terminator) even better.
*** Todd and Janelle, John Connor's foster parents, are portrayed as uncaring and unpleasant, respectively. When T-1000!Janelle speaks in a friendly manner to John on the phone, he says "She's never this nice". The T-1000 kills both of them.
* All of Travis Bickle's victims in ''Film/TaxiDriver''. Despite being something of a [[WellIntentionedExtremist psychopath]], he is sympathetic compared to them - though this may be a case of ProtagonistCenteredMorality, since viewers saw what he did when ''not'' murdering people.
* It's not a murder-mystery, but Steve in the remake of ''Film/DawnOfTheDead2004'' more than qualifies. When he finally gets zombified and then shot in the head you're likely to cheer. Also somewhat applies CJ, who's a bit of a jerk at first but does start to lighten up towards the end, and gets to die in a HeroicSacrifice when he blows himself up to destroy a bunch of zombies so that everyone else can get away.
* All the bikers in the original ''Film/DawnOfTheDead''. Particularly that one guy who [[TooDumbToLive decides that it's a perfect time to check his blood pressure]].
%% * Most, if not, all of the victims meant to die in the accidents in the ''FinalDestination'' series. But especially, [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep The Racist]] in the fourth film. {{Averted}} in 1, 2, and 5 for the most part. Only a small handful (if that) of the victims are asshole victims. They're actually fairly nice people. PlayedStraight in 3 and 4, though.
* Everyone in ''Film/{{Hostel}}'' spends most of the movie doing everything they can to make you hate them, even after they know their friends are being kidnapped and killed. Paxton could be a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, as he risks his life to save complete strangers. [[TheWoobie Josh]] is also always kind to everyone.
* In ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'', David is torn apart and eaten by zombies after saying "I think we can all agree, that was the right thing to do," after Shaun had to kill his own mother. He'd also been an asshole most of the movie, and at one point, even [[MoralEventHorizon tried to shoot Shaun]].
** Apparently this trope was taken into consideration when doing that scene. Originally they had him apologize for his behavior before suffering his fate, but they decided to edit that out, albeit not for character reasons (i.e. they wanted his death to be scarier and seem more sudden). Either way, it worked; when his scene came up, audiences ''cheered''.
** Like most of the movie, this is probably in reference to ''NightOfTheLivingDead'' and in particular the dynamic between Ben and Harry; like Harry, David ''is'' right about a lot of the things that they should be doing, but that doesn't stop him from being an asshole.
* ''Film/SororityRow'' probably has a record for the number of deliberately unsympathetic victims; out of all the people killed maybe one or two qualify for JerkWithAHeartOfGold status. The killer actually {{lampshades}} how horrible the murdered characters all were.
* Mr. Dietrichson in ''Film/DoubleIndemnity'', for the sake of making Neff a SympatheticMurderer.
* In ''Film/ScannersIITheNewOrder'', the main character kills a pair of store-robbing thugs who already killed two clerks and were either about to do the same to his girlfriend, or kidnap her/hold her hostage.
* The black comedy ''Drowning Mona''. Bette Milder played Mona, a woman so universally despised that when she was killed, no one cared about her death (beyond wondering who had finally done the deed) and only her son and husband showed up at her funeral (and they weren't too broken up about it). This made the jobs of the investigators much more difficult, because practically '''''EVERYONE''''' in town had a reason for wanting to kill Mona, making everyone a suspect.
* The mission director in ''Film/{{Gattaca}}'' was ... not universally liked, making the movie an example of reason number three.
* Any villain or villainess that fell victim to the ToxicAvenger.
* In the film ''Film/BlackCloud'', the main character assaults his girlfriend's former boyfriend Eddie after he insults her. Eddie got the girl pregnant and apparently made no effort to make any contact with her or his son for close to four years. Not exactly the nicest person.
* ''Film/GosfordPark''. Though the victim as we see him is portrayed relatively sympathetically, seeming to be a fairly nice old duffer with a horrible harpy of a wife (she tears chunks out of him at dinner in front of all their friends), his past is not so clear and when he is murdered it turns out everyone had a motive. Though in fact all the people with real, personal motives are ignored as [[DeliberateValuesDissonance they are only the servants.]]
* ''Franchise/{{Hellraiser}}'':
** In ''Film/HellraiserInferno'', Detective Joseph Thorne's snitch Bernie is strongly implied to be a pedophile and becomes the third of the Engineer killer's victims.
** Happens in ''Film/HellraiserHellseeker'', where it's revealed that [[spoiler:Kirsty killed her sleazy husband Trevor, who had planned on murdering her for her money; Trevor's best friend, who was in on the plan; and three women Trevor actually videotaped himself cheating on Kirsty with (the women were all also in relationships)]].
* In ''Film/BatmanReturns'', there was Max Shrek, a CorruptCorporateExecutive who tried to kill his secretary by shoving her off a building, and later tried to take over the city by recalling the mayoral election and supporting the Penguin in a bid to become mayor, which almost caused a disaster. (And that's just what's known about.) It's unlikely that anyone felt the least bit sorry for him at the end of the movie when an electricity-enhanced kiss from Selena reduced him to a charred corpse.
* In ''Film/{{Se7en}}'', John Doe thinks he's doing this, though less than half of the victims really qualify as assholes. The "sloth" victim is the only one besides John Doe himself who's established as a genuinely bad person. All the others are unpleasant at worst.
* The titular character in ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052784 El Esqueleto de la Sra. Morales]]'' (Skeleton of Mrs. Morales) suffers a severe case of assholism. To wit: Exploiting a malformation of hers for sympathy, feigning to ba a victim of domestic violence, attempting to poison her husband's pet owl and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking breaking his newly bought camera]].
* ''Film/MenInBlack'': Just before he is killed by the Bug, Edgar is revealed to be a spousal emotional abuser (and possibly a physical abuser too).
-->'''Edgar:''' I go out, I work my butt off for a living, all I want is to come home to a nice clean house with a nice fat steak on the table, but instead I get this. It looks like poison. Don't you take that away, I'm eating that, damn it! It IS poison, isn't it? I swear to God I would not be surprised if it was, the way you skulk around here like a dog that's been hit too much or ain't been hit enough, I can't make up my mind. You're useless, Beatrice. The only thing that pulls its weight around here is my goddamn truck!
-->''(Spaceship crashes into the truck; Edgar proceeds to walk out to investigate)''
-->'''Edgar:''' ...Figures.
-->''(Edgar walks to the crash site)''
-->'''Beatrice:''' What the heck is it, Edgar?
-->''(Edgar turns around quickly)''
-->'''Edgar:''' Get your big butt back in that house!
* ''Film/MenInBlack2'': after Serleena assumes human form in the sequel, she is attacked by a man with a knife and swallows him whole, then proceeds to spit him out and steal his clothes when she realizes that she gained an immense gut as a result of eating him.
* And ''again'' in ''Film/MenInBlack3''. Seems to be a recurring pattern. The villains would first kill someone who honestly deserved it, then follow through with someone who DOESN'T. This villain did it faster than the others.
* Harry Tasker (Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger) uses this justification in ''Film/TrueLies''. Given that he's under the influence of TruthSerum at the time, he must really believe it. And given that he fights terrorists and trigger-happy enemy agents, it sure seems like it could be true:
-->'''Helen Tasker:''' Have you ever killed anyone?
-->'''Harry:''' Yeah, but they were all bad.
* Dr. David Drumlin deserved to get it in the neck for EVERYTHING he does to screw over Ellie Arroway in ''Film/{{Contact}}''.
* This is the premise of ''Film/TheBoondockSaints''. They kill gangsters who couldn't be touched by the police.
* ''Film/EyeForAnEye'' is about a mother who hears her daughter raped and murdered by a grocery deliverer while talking to her on the cell phone, who gets off on a technicality, and decides to kill him.
%% * ''Film/GodBlessAmerica'': TheMovie
* ''Hood of Horror'': the whole film revolves around making people pay for their crimes against man by grotesque brutal death and then hell.
* ''Film/{{Creepshow}}'', being the {{troperiffic}} delight that it is, has lots of fun with this. We've got Nathan (emotionally abusive, murderous father), Bedelia (his insane, drunk-driving, parricidal daughter), Richard (psychotic, murderous Leslie Nielsen), Billie (emotionally abusive, nagging Adrienne Barbeau), and Upson Pratt (CorruptCorporateExecutive). In the final scene of the FramingStory, the boy who was reading the comic is torturing his abusive, hypocritical dad with a voodoo doll. The [[ECComics EC horror comics]] it's influenced by are just chock-full of Asshole Victims and {{Karmic Death}}s.
%% * ''{{Saw}}'' series:
%% ** Danica from ''III''
%% ** Xavier from ''II''
%% ** Dave from ''VI''
%% ** Ivan from ''IV'' stand out.
%% ** The group of racist skinheads from the final movie that are killed for abusing others.
* In ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'':
** Peter Stormare's character (Dieter) [[KickTheDog Kicks The Compsognathus]]. Then a mob of them eat him.
** SmugSnake Peter Ludlow has the bright idea to travel to the island they bred the dinosaurs on and go on a safari so they can bring them back ''to the mainland'' and proceeds to have absolutely no common sense while doing it. This little decision manages to play a distinct part in the deaths in the movie, including his own. The [[DesignatedHero Designated Heroes]] coming in also played SpannerInTheWorks; their actions playing a much more significant part in the movie's deaths. Ludlow then lets desperation override common sense and decides on bringing the T-rex to the mainland after the main characters release all of the considerably less dangerous herbivores he had ''intended'' in capturing..
* In ''Film/WeekendAtBernies'' there was, well, Bernie himself. He was a CorruptCorporateExecutive who was planning on killing the protagonists for unknowingly discovering his scheme, but the mobsters he hired to do it double-crossed him.
* ''Film/JurassicPark'':
** The [[AmoralAttorney smarmy self-serving lawyer]], sent to investigate the safety of the park, very quickly forgets his "investigation" once the images of dollar signs start dancing around in his head. And when it all goes inevitably keel up, [[DirtyCoward he abandons the children to a grisly death to save his own skin]]. So you'll find very few sympathizers in the audience when his bold ploy of hiding and cowering in the toilet fails.
** Music/WeirdAlYankovic's "Jurassic Park":
---> "''A huge tyrannosaurus ate our lawyer
---> Well, I suppose that proves
---> They're really not all bad''".
** Nedry, who drives the whole plot, is about as unappealing a character as he could possibly be without doing intentional murder. And Wayne Knight plays all his slovenly abrasiveness with [[{{Seinfeld}} Newman]]-esque glee.
%% * [[TooDumbToLive Micah]] from ''Film/ParanormalActivity''.
%% * Doc and Mitchy from ''Film/TerrorTrain''.
%% ** Honestly, Terror Train's whole cast should count. Even [[FinalGirl the final girl]].
* Most of the victims in ''Film/{{Madhouse}}'' -- a proto-slasher movie set in a BBC studio -- don't really deserve to die. However, it's hard to feel sorry for the actress who plays Vincent Price's [[DarkMistress assistant]], or for his insane stalker, or for her ''completely'' insane parents.
-->[[GenreSavvy As they say in horror movies]], you will come to a bad end.
* Scotty, in ''The Franchise/EvilDead''. As well as the two rednecks in ''Evil Dead 2''.
* In 2008's ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', Bruce Banner is harassed by some greasy co-workers because he stopped them from sexually harassing a female co-worker. When he's on the run from Blonsky and General Ross he's cornered by them and beaten up a bit. What ensues may be the most satisfying moment in a Marvel movie: he Hulks out and throws them through walls to their death.
* ''Film/DeadSilence''. As soon as he first appears, everyone knows that [[BadCopIncompetentCop Det. Jim Lipton]] will get what's coming to him by the end.
* ''Film/TheRing'': Thanks for killing [[SmugSnake Dr. Emma Temple]], Samara.
* In ''Film/{{Dogville}}'', the viewer actually feels relieved when mobsters kill the whole goddamn population of the titular town, including the children. They're just ''that'' awful.
* Bullies in ''Slasher High''. Jeesh, they deserved to be drowned in the toilet.
%% * Bullies in ''[[HammerHorror Frankenstein Created Woman]]''.
* The downright homicidal bullies in ''Film/LetTheRightOneIn'', both in the original and the remake. Their ultimatum at the end was this: Owen had to hold his breath for 3 minutes, and be [[SarcasmMode rewarded]] with a cut across the cheek. Fail, and he [[EyeScream loses an eye.]] You'll be glad when Eli arrives to kill them all.
* The death of Mrs. Carmody in ''Film/TheMist'' is probably the only joyous moment in the entire film, being as she very nearly got the protagonist's little boy killed. Also everyone in the supermarket could possibly count, if they also eventually succumb to the mist creatures.
* Harlan, from ''Film/ThelmaAndLouise'', tries to rape Thelma but is thwarted by Louise. This doesn't get him killed right away as Louise tells him to be more considerate of women "in the future." What gets him killed is his insistence at being a JerkAss...
-->'''Harlan:''' Bitch! I shoulda gone ahead and fucked her!
-->'''Louise:''' What did you say?
-->'''Harlan:''' I said suck my cock!
-->'''Louise's Gun:''' ''BANG!''
** Followed later by the police investigation:
-->'''Policeman:''' Who do you think did it?
-->'''Cocktail waitress:''' Has anyone asked his wife? She's the one I ''hope'' did it.
* In ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', The Operative's first kill in the movie was Dr. Mathias, the head scientist of the Academy, whose [[PlayingWithSyringes horrible]] [[MindRape experiments]] were responsible for River being driven insane.
* In the [[RecursiveAdaptation original movie]] of ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'', the dentist is practising without a licence. Seymour kills him with the drill (and is then [[CrowningMomentOfFunny forced to operate]] on [[OneSceneWonder a young Jack Nicholson]]. In the second film, based on the play, even though the dentist's character and the context he appears in are somewhat different, the dentist is still the first of many characters to buy it.
* Judging by the trailer, it would seem that the parody ''Film/TuckerAndDaleVsEvil'' takes the slasher movie approach to this trope to it's logical extreme; the 'psycho degenerate hillbillies' are actually a pair of well-meaning but not incredibly bright guys who, through various misunderstandings, are taken to be that way by a bunch of prejudiced, elitist college kids. [[HilarityEnsues Very gory hilarity ensues]] as the kids, much to the confusion and bewilderment of the two, end up accidentally killing themselves while trying to attack the 'evil killers'.
* Both used and deconstructed in the film ''Film/{{Heathers}}'' -- most of the victims are (or seem to be) Asshole Victims but then through the heroine's eyes we see how their deaths affect their loved ones, and see her realize that being an asshole ''isn't worth killing someone over.''
* ''Film/TheTroubleWithHarry'': Everyone thinks they are responsible for his death, but they don't really care.
* In ''Film/VForVendetta'', every named antagonist qualifies as this, with the sole exception of Dr. Delia Surridge. She's a remorseful DeathSeeker who [[GenreSavvy seems to anticipate]] that DeathEqualsRedemption. If her journals can be believed, she hated (or convinced herself to hate) the people she experimented on. V managed to form a connection with her, which brought her to confront her actions and apologize to her only living victim. It's no coincidence, then, that out of all the named antagonists, Dr. Surridge is the only one granted a quiet, painless death.
--> "Is it too late to apologize?"
--> "Never."
--> "I'm so sorry."
* The 2006 remake of ''Film/TheWickerMan'' featured a hysterically funny unintentional example. "Oh no! NOT THE BEES!"
* PlayedForLaughs in a scene in horror movie parody ''Film/ScaryMovie''. One of the teenagers being stalked by the masked killer is watching a movie in a crowded theater; she's being loud and obnoxious, ruining the movie for everyone else. The masked killer is then shown to be sitting in the seat next to her... but before he gets the chance, one of the other movigoers steals his knife and stabs her. He then just sits and drinks his soda while ''all the other audience members'' continue to stab her to death. When she stumbles in front of the screen and finally falls dead, they ''applaud''.
* This trope is exaggerated with the victim in ''Film/MurderOnTheOrientExpress''. It turns out that he was ''everybody's'' victim. In case you [[ItWasHisSled didn't know that already]].
* The Cult members in ''Film/SilentHill''. Very hard to feel sorry for them after you learn they tried to kill Alessa years before by burning her alive, leaving her horribly disfigured and unable to get out of her hospital bed. Also they had just killed Cybil this way.
* The female lead character in Creator/CatherineBreillat's ''Film/{{Romance}}'' blows up her boyfriend in a rigged gas explosion at the end. The murder is about the only happy event in the film...
* The murder victim in the movie ''Film/{{Bully}}'', which is based on a real homicide of a teen who bullied and abused his best friend, his best friend's girlfriend and all of his associates.
* ''Film/KillBill'':
** The orderly/pimp Buck and his customer, who is paying for access to the comatose patients.
** Budd, during a moment of contemplation states that all the members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad are this.
---> ''"That woman deserves her revenge, and we deserve to die. Then again, so does she."''
* A somewhat failed example of this trope happened in the ''Vault Of Horror'' movie. A woman was driven to killing her husband by his OCD need to keep the house neat. However, the actor never really went over the top, and came across more as lecturing than yelling and screaming, to the point where you felt more like they needed to sit down and have a long talk, rather than him deserving to die.
* ''Franchise/{{Predator}}''
** None of the humans in ''Film/{{Predators}}'' are particularly nice, but Stans, a condemned murderer, takes the cake for being the most unsympathetic. Even so, he gets a [[DyingMomentOfAwesome pretty badass sendoff]].
** Dale, Nick, and Mark in AVPR aren't very nice either. Dale, as the leader of the trio, gets the most vicious of the three, the alien's blood burning his face.
* Every single character in the horror movie ''Marcus'' (2006) except Brooke(who's not an asshole) and Marcus(who's not a victim).
* In ''Film/{{Dogma}}'', Loki visits a boardroom of {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s, lists their individual sins (idolatry, adultery, statutory rape, intolerance, etc.), then kills them. He did spare the only one who didn't have any sins. Although she did forget to say [[HairTriggerTemper GOD BLESS YOU!!]]
* This was the reason that nobody found any sympathy for the documentary crew in ''Film/CannibalHolocaust''. One of their crimes involved ''burning down a village'' for no reason other than to shoot a scene. One critic actually noted "The film crew more than deserved their deaths."
* The first victim of ''Film/BubbaHoTep'' is an old woman who steals another nursing home resident's packages from home and swipes the glasses off a woman in an iron lung... while said woman is ''awake''. On the commentary, Don Coscarelli discusses this trope.
* The guy in ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'' who's a {{Jerkass}} that feeds a woman's dog to a snake.
* Everyone who is killed in ''The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane''. Except Gordon.
* A recent updated version of the ''Literature/OliverTwist'' story called ''Twist'' featured the character of Dodger finally snapping, and shooting Bill. By that point in the movie, Bill had either seriously injured or murdered about three-quarters of the cast. In short, he ''really'' had it coming.
* Patrick and Belch in Creator/StephenKing's ''Film/{{It}}''.
* In ''Bride of Chucky'', the fourth ''Film/ChildsPlay'' film, most of Chucky and Tiffany's victims fit this trope. Needle Nose Norton gets paid extra money to follow Jesse and Jade (since Jade's uncle, Warren Kincaid, who is chief of police, hates Jesse and wants to keep him and Jade apart) under the pretense of suspecting them of drunk driving. Warren plants marijuana in Jesse's van to frame him for drug possession. And the couple who rob Jesse and Jade are killed by Tiffany with mirror shards.
* ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'':
** Coach Schneider in ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreetPart2FreddysRevenge''. And this trope is rare in the ''Nightmare'' movies (except ''Film/FreddyVsJason'', which is part ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'', which as listed above is the exact opposite and follows this trope all the time).
** One might apply this Trope to Freddy Krueger himself, seeing as he was a child murderer who was killed by a lynch mob. That only made it worse.
* ''Film/{{Tremors}} 3'' has Agent Frank Statler, Agent Charlie Rusk, and Dr. Andrew Merliss, who prevent the citizens of Perfection from hunting the Graboids so that one can be captured alive for study. They're also willing to seize the property in the valley and kick out the townsfolk under "Eminent Domain" to set up a preserve. None of the three survive the film.
* Everyone in ''Film/FallingDown''. Bill Foster may be [[BewareTheNiceOnes a bit crazy]], but compared to the rest of LA, he's an absolute saint.
* John Strode and Barry Simms in ''Film/HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers'', and a quite number of people in Rob Zombie's ''Film/{{Halloween 2007}}'' and ''Film/HalloweenII2009''.
* ''Film/{{Lockjaw}}'s'' protagonists may have stepped over the boundary. The incident that triggers the plot is them running over someone. The major difference between these teens and the teens from ''Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer''? ''They never noticed they hit anyone'' and when pointed out that they did, they believe they hit an animal and '''moved on'''. Kiiiiinda makes one of the protagonist's WhatTheHellHero speech towards the villain of the film stupid considering they were the ones that caused him to do it in the first place.
* Leroy in ''Film/MysteryTeam''.
* {{Invoked|Trope}} in ''Film/ShootEmUp'', in which the hero deliberately singles out which car to steal because he'd seen its able-bodied driver park in a handicapped spot. No, he doesn't kill the guy, but he explicitly calls him a prick, establishing a similar justification for targeting his vehicle.
* In ''Film/PsychoBeachParty'' Rhonda spends her days being incredibly rude and insulting everybody so watching her die was rather satisfying.
* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in Creator/MNightShyamalan's ''Film/LadyInTheWater''. When a StrawCritic character runs into a monster, instead of running he starts a long monologue on this trope in which an "unlikable" character flees the monster, shuts the door behind him at the last second, and learns a valuable lesson. He is then [[TakeThatCritics torn to death by the monster]].
* Mitchell Laurio in ''Film/{{X2|XMenUnited}}''. He's a thug who's shown to enjoy beating up an old man stripped of any powers that would allow him to fight back, so no one minds too much when Mystique sets him up for a death allowing Magneto to escape.
* In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' there's Sebastian Shaw when he's killed by Magneto near the end. Considering in his first scene alone he killed Magneto's mother right in front of his eyes, it's highly doubtful anybody in the audience really feels any sympathy for him. Charles on the other hand, who was telepathically with Shaw and felt all the pain of his death, is someone to feel sorry for.
* Harry Prebblie in ''Film/TheBlueGardenia'' tries to rape Norah, and is promptly killed just not by her.
* The ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' series:
** Carter Burke in ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.
** Most of the characters in ''Film/{{Alien 3}}'' are convicted murderers and rapists. Some even try to rape Ripley at one point, and Golic is straight-up AxCrazy. It therefore becomes hard to root for a lot of them when the Alien kills them.
** Dr. Mason Wren in ''Film/AlienResurrection''. He cloned Ripley in the first place and brought the Aliens back, he tries to kill Call, and leaves the others for dead so he can hijack their ship and still deliver the Aliens to Earth. His death is particularly karmic.
* ''Film/StrangersOnATrain'': Bye, Miriam. You won't be missed.
* Very deliberately invoked in the 2008 nature horror film, ''Film/GrizzlyPark''. The 8 characters forced into community service in Grizzly Park as rehabilitation for their misdemeanors are deliberately set up to be as obnoxious, apathetic and unsympathetic as possible, each appearing to get a KarmicDeath from the bear trying to kill them. In the end it's revealed the bear belonged to the park ranger who trained it to kill any members of the group. The ranger lets the last survivor live, believing she has made a HeelRealization and learned from her previous mistakes. Nope, he later overhears her (unaware that the ranger was part of the plot) calling her friend telling her she had manipulated him and planned to kill him later - prompting her to be mauled by the bear towards the end of the movie.
* Discussed in ''Film/KillList''. Jay is very insistent that all the people on the titular list are bad people that deserve their deaths. But while there's ample evidence of this for the librarian, you have to take his word for it on the others, raising the possibility that it's just him trying to rationalise the killings.
* ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs''. Dr. Chilton, who was in charge of the facility where Hannibal Lecter was originally imprisoned. He sleazily hits on Clarice Starling and doesn't take it well when she declines him. Hannibal says that Chilton has harassed in the past and there is no reason to disbelieve him. He reveals the [=FBI=]'s attempt to trick Hannibal into cooperating - not because he's offended by their dishonesty, but because he wants to cut his own deal and get publicity. At the end of the movie Lecter is seen trailing Chilton and it's made clear that he's going to kill him and eat him ("I'm having an old friend for dinner.").
* ''Film/{{Scarface 1983}}'':
** [[VillainProtagonist The main character, Tony Montana]] might as well be the ultimate kind of this trope. Although he gets a RedemptionEqualsDeath moment when he [[EvenEvilHasStandards refuses to blow up the journalist's car, along with said person's wife and children by killing Alejandro Sosa's hitman.]] Tony also paid the price for said incident, however, when Sosa sent his men to attack him. His death wasn't played out in a AlasPoorVillain moment either. By the end, we still retain some sympathy for him, but he is still an asshole, including when he killed Gina's future husband, Manny Ribera, because of his over-protectiveness for said sister.
** In addition to being an Asshole Victim himself, Tony's killed several of these guys in his day, such as Emilio Rebenga, an ex-Castro official who tortured a few guys to death while he was working for Fidel; and Mel Bernstein, the corrupt narcotics cop that tries to shake him down and kill him on behalf of Frank Lopez.
* ''Film/ReservoirDogs'':
** Mr. Blonde. A PsychoForHire who kills the clerks in the diamond store, tortures Marvin Nash and attempts to set him on fire. Apparently, the audience didn't feel any sympathy for him when he gets killed by Mr. Orange, who is the real undercover cop.
* Miles Kennefik, who was killed by Frank Costello, according to Captain George Ellerby from ''Film/TheDeparted''. He said that they are not going to solve the case of the "missing scumbag".
* ''Film/HorribleBosses'' has this as the reason the three protagonists are attempting to murder their respective employers. Two of the bosses are dealt with in other ways and survive thus being subversions, but Colin Farrel's character does get killed (albeit not in the way the trio were considering killing him), which makes him an example of this trope.
* In ''Film/PinkFlamingos'', Connie and Raymond Marble definitely fit the bill. Granted, [[VillainProtagonist Divine]] [[CardCarryingVillain is extremely evil herself]], but considering that Connie and Raymond were running a black-market baby ring, and then using the money earned to ''sell drugs to school children'', it's hard to feel sorry for them when they eventually suffer a very humiliating death by Divine's hand.
* Kirby in ''Film/Bait3D''. He's the robber responsible for killing the women at the start, and tries to use another of the survivors as bait. Doyle attacks Kirby in turn and uses him as bait instead.
* Nute Gunray and the other Separatists in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', who are all killed by Anakin Skywalker, who thereby regains a little sympathy after having lost it in his raid on the Jedi temple.
* Jabba the Hutt in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. Most fans do not regret his death.
* [[SmugSnake Admiral]] [[InsaneAdmiral Marcus]] from ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'' gets his head crushed by [[spoiler: John Harrison (or rather, Khan)]].
* Warden Nigel James in ''GIJoeRetaliation''.
* The CIA agent from the beginning of ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', whose plane is crashed by Bane... "with no survivors!"
* A non-lethal example in ''Film/ManOfSteel''. After a bully sexually harasses a waitress in a bar and [[MadeOFIron (tries to)]] gets violent when asked politely to leave, Clark [[spoiler:takes out his truck]]. The damage is ''scary'', but it's hard to feel sorry for the guy.
* Arthur Tressler [[spoiler:and Thaddeus Bradley]] in ''Film/NowYouSeeMe''.
* Hannibal Chau in ''Film/PacificRim'' has one of the other characters sent to a public shelter in the hopes that he'll get eaten by a kaiju. Later [[spoiler: ''he'' gets eaten alive by a baby kaiju. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that he survives and cuts his way out in TheStinger.]]
%% * [[spoiler:Craig]] from ''Film/TheHeat''.
* [[spoiler:Carlyle and Delacourt]] in ''Film/{{Elysium}}''. The former was picked by Max for exactly that reason.
* ''Film/PainAndGain'':
** Victor Kershaw which is part of the reason why cops don't believe his story at first (he was so unpleasant that not one person reported him missing). Ed even says that he is a "very difficult victim to like".
** Subverted, with the later victims who are certainly sleazy, but are nowhere near the jerk levels Kershaw is.
** It also subverted in that as the movie proceeds, Kershaw [[LesserOfTwoEvils ends up]] ''far'' more sympathetic than Lugo.
* ''Film/{{Byzantium}}'': [[spoiler: Ruthven]] deserves his death many times over.
* In ''Film/QueenOfTheDamned'', the first vampire Akasha butchers a club full of remorseless, bloodthirsty vampires who tried to kill Jesse earlier. The other vampires are still shocked at her sheer carnage and delight at devouring them.
* Towards the end of ''Film/TheMadMagician'', The Great Rinaldi meets a fiery demise when he gets trapped in the furnace used for one of his rival [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Don Gallico]]'s illusions. [[LaserGuidedKarma Bonus points because instant karma caught him in the act of attempting to plagiarize said illusion.]]
* In the cop drama ''Film/DarkBlue'', Detective Eldon Perry frames a bunch of known hoodlums for another crime to quickly solve a case on his superior Jack Van Meter's orders. He convinces his partner Bobby to kill an escaping suspect by pointing out that no one will miss the guy anyway, but Bobby is visibly shaken by the act as he points out that this still doesn't make it right.
