* ''Film/SuicideClub'' -- The psychopath Genesis shouts out "Welcome to my pleasure room!" and sings a song with an English chorus in an otherwise completely Japanese film.
* Nobutada from ''Film/TheLastSamurai'' likes to say "Jolly Good" around captured American soldier Nathan Algren, at first to mock him for his nationality.
* The title of the South Korean movie ''Film/WonderfulDays'', which [[MarketBasedTitle still became]] ''Animation/SkyBlue'' for its English-language release.
* ''Film/{{Dostana}}''. There's about as much English in the film as Hindi.
* In the 2007 romantic comedy ''Tokyo Serendipity'' (original Japanese title: ''Koisuru Madori''), hulking wrestler Satan makes his signature entrance by climbing onto the turnbuckle, glaring menacingly at his opponent, and intoning "GO.... TO.... HELLLLLLLL!!!" in near-perfect English while turning his hand slowly into an ominous thumbs-down.
* European example: In ''[[Film/PodPeople Los Nuevos Extraterrestres]]'', one of the band members has a T-shirt reading "I'm a virgin".
* If you not watch ''Film/{{Borat}}: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan'', I will be execute.

* The ''Film/HeroicTrio'' has a few of these:
** Theif Catcher, played by Maggie Cheung, says "Good morning" to cops.
** Later, when attempting to blow up the BigBad, she drops a load of dynamite down a manhole while shouting "Happy New Year!" This could be an example of TheCastShowOff since Maggie Cheung spent years in Europe and speaks English fluently.
** Another examples occurs when Michelle Yeoh's character learns that her scientist boyfriend is dying. He quietly types "Don't cry" in English on the computer.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrtqZEobJSg This]] cheesily hilarious Ugandan film trailer has some, especially at the 20 second mark. "YOU AMERICAN SON OF THE BEECH!"

* From ''Film/TheStreetFighter's Last Revenge'': "Hey, Black... ''come on.''"

* The FramingDevice of Brazilian film ''Carlota Joaquina: Princesa do Brazil'' is a Scot telling the story of the TitleCharacter (a Spanish princess that became Queen consort of Portugal - and whose son declared Brazilian independence) to his daughter. Both are FakeBrit (though the father is of English descent), but really convincing ones. And given how decadent Brazilian cinema was - the film marked a rebirth of the country's film industry - you can't blame the producers for using a CultureChopSuey.
* In the Japanese film ''Film/HardRevengeMilly'', Milly writes "Welcome" on the glass door of an abandoned office block into which she is luring her victims.
* In Korean film ''Film/CastawayOnTheMoon'', Seong-Geun, who is stranded on a deserted island, writes "HELP" on the sand in English, maybe because that's quicker to write than "도와주세요". This is spotted by Jung-yeon, who is watching him through her camera's telescopic zoom. Thereafter, all communication between them is in English.
* Benny in ''Film/{{Kopps}}'' would so badly like to be an Amerikan Cop, and talks therefore often English with himself (or rather ''Swenglish'').
-->"Don't ever fuck with Benny the cop!"
* In ''Film/FiveGravesToCairo'', Rommel sends off a message to Berlin. Then he says "And now in English, to save them the trouble of translation when they intercept this message," and delivers the message again, for the audience.
* Technically, ''Film/RobinHoodCzwartaStrzala'' is '''set''' in England, but most of the dialogue is in Polish, so the "inner voice" scene and the rally sings can only be explained by the RuleOfFunny.
* The rare Japanese semi-erotic comedy/drama movie ''Pretty Girls'' has quite a lot of English in it, as the bulk of the film takes place in UsefulNotes/{{Singapore}}, and thus many of its supporting characters are Singaporean (others are Chinese). Usually this involves conversations between female lead, Reiko, and said supporting characters. The dialogue itself is mostly error-free, but [[FauxFluency the pronunciation and delivery from Reiko's actress, Fumie Hosokawa, ranges from decent yet stilted to bad enough that the line is rendered incomprehensible.]] One wonders what the outtakes must've been like.
-->'''Reiko:''' Wui wunt tell anywan. You confessed. Orrr? Do you want to go to jurrrr? Hmm?\\
'''Reiko:''' Dunt worry. I be prepea'd fo' that from za bigeem. What those girls, arethinking, is easy, to leed. I can handle zem.
* ''Film/ASerbianFilm'': "Newborn porn!"
* Creator/FrancoisTruffaut liked to throw bits of English into his movies for no reason at all. In ''Film/JulesAndJim'', Catherine starts chattering in English in one scene for no reason. ''Film/StolenKisses'' has the hot older woman answer a telephone and speak to the caller in English, which turns on the young man watching her even more. ''Film/DayForNight'' has a drunk actress who can't remember her lines start babbling in English.
* ''Film/OneCutOfTheDead'' has the Japanese title ''Kamera o Tomeru na!'' (''Don't Stop the Camera!''), but the ShowWithinAShow is called ''One Cut of the Dead'' in English, in spite of being a Japanese film. The crew wear shirts with it written out in English. The MarketBasedTitle of the actual film is probably intended to help avoid confusion from English-speaking audiences.
* ''Film/Parasite2019'': Mrs. Park peppers English phrases into her conversations with Ki-woo, since he is posing as an English tutor to her son.
* In Hong Kong film ''Film/SpecialFemaleForce'', Cat randomly speaks English phrases throughout the film, which everyone understands. Her actual very first line is her introducing herself to Fa in English, doubling as an EstablishingCharacterMoment as it shows she's the odd one on the team.

* In HongKong film ''Film/SpecialFemaleSquad'', Cat randomly speaks English phrases throughout the film, which everyone understands. Her actual very first line is her introducing herself to Fa in English, doubling as an EstablishingCharacterMoment as it shows she's the odd one on the team.

* ''Film/{{Parasite}}'': Mrs. Park peppers English phrases into her conversations with Ki-woo, since he is posing as an English tutor to her son.

* ''Film/SuicideClub'' -- The psychopath Genesis shouts out "Welcome to my pleasure room!" and sings a song with an English chorus in an otherwise completely-Japanese film.

-->'''Serge:''' I think we're dealing with a serial-killer ''[pronounced with an american accent, dramatic music]''\\

'''Serge:''' A serial-killer ''[same accent, same dramatic music]''\\

'''Serge:''' ''[sigh]'' Un ''sériale-killeur'' ''[drops the accent]''\\
'''Odile:''' Oh, I see... a serial-killer ''[with the exact same american accent and dramatic music]''

** The American characters in ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'' (most of whom are {{Badass}}es to some degree) never say ''anything'' in Japanese. This makes sense for the New Yorkers, and even the two working at Godzilla's Antarctic prison, but you'd think Gordon and Kazama would have taken a "rooma-shi ni toki" attitude by now. But then, everyone understands everything they say anyway, so why bother?
