History Main / UnstoppableRage

* WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} has one in a {{Creepypasta}} [[https://cjaymarch.fandom.com/wiki/Arthur_Lost_Episode centered on a lost episode]]:

* Along with his better-known abilities, Website/{{SCP|Foundation}}-682 is noticeably prone to these. Given that he's unstoppable even ''outside'' his rages, this is a bad thing.

* Arthéon in ''Series/{{Noob}}'' Season 4 finale, after [[spoiler:Kary turns out to be more interested in the new game content than in their wedding ceremony]].
** Shows up as a players' actual in-game LimitBreak in ''Film/NoobLeConseilDesTroisFactions''.

* Caboose tries to intentionally invoke this in himself when he and Sarge are trapped in a bizarre land of eternal war in ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue''. 'I am Michael J Caboose ... and I HATE BABIES!' Followed by 'Hurk! Blagh!' repeatedly.
** [[spoiler:Comes back in Season 10; as the Blood Gulchers are lining up for a battle, Church says he needs Caboose to get a little angry; Caboose replies that he forgot how to do that. Church helps him remember, and Caboose charges headlong through a massive group of Tex copies.]]

* Happens occasionally in ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'', especially when a nice guy is [[BewareTheNiceOnes pushed too far.]]
** Such as [[spoiler: Adam Dodd going ballistic on Cody Jenson near the end of V1, who he has [[ItsPersonal every reason]] to want dead]].
* Parodied in Linkara's review of ''Wolverine: Adamantium Rage.''
** [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall "ADAMANTIUM RAGE!]] * Punches [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]]* ADAMANTIUM RAGE! * Punches VideoGame/{{Kirby}}* ADAMANTIUM RAGE! * ''Tries'' [[CanCrushingCranium to crush a can against his forehead]] and fails* ADAMANTIUM RAGE! [[spoiler:[[Funny/AtopTheFourthWall * Is punched by]]]] [[spoiler:WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd]].

* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': "Ragers", as they are called in-universe, are common enough that they actually classify them into three groups: Class One ragers are basically the equivalent of a person with Intermittent Explosive Disorder, and tend to forget to use their powers; Class Two ragers use their powers while raging, and can cause considerable damage; Class Three ragers actually grow more powerful the angrier they get (similar to the Hulk, except affecting all their powers), with their powers buffed higher and higher as they continue to rampage.
** On campus at the time of the original stories, the best known class-3 rager is Razorback, who has the appearance of a ''Velociraptor'' and communicates through sign language. While he is a nice guy most of the time, anything that sets him off is likely to result in a drawn-out fight, as he has both SuperSpeed and a HealingFactor. For their combat finals, the teachers pitted him against [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Jimmy T.]]; the fighting went on until they were both too exhausted to continue, with the match being decided by a coin toss.

However, there is always the {{Subversion}} where a character ends up BlindedByRage, where making them angry usually causes them to lose focus, [[MomentOfWeakness make poor decisions]] and fall victim to UntouchableUntilTagged. [[VillainousBreakdown Interestingly enough, this case usually happens to villains.]] [[TurnsRed Unless they are a video game enemy]].

* In ''Film/TheMuppetMovie'', Miss Piggy flies into one of these, complete with NightmareFuel eyes, when [[Creator/MelBrooks a villainous scientist]] tells her he's about to zap Kermit's brain. Mentioning [[BerserkButton bacon]] didn't help his cause.
* Subversion: In ''Film/MysteryMen'', Creator/BenStiller's character Mr. Furious was a superhero seemingly built around Unstoppable Rage -- except that when he raged, he wasn't much less stoppable than a "normal" adrenaline-fueled angry person. He didn't become substantially stronger, tougher or faster, which wasn't very useful. During the final battle, however, [[spoiler: his rage apparently gave him enough momentum to overcome the BigBad, as the other instances were him trying to invoke this trope, and failing miserably.]]

* The 3rd act of the Creator/JackieChan film ''Police Story'' features a rare look at Jackie's typical happy go lucky character snapping and going to town on everyone that's done him wrong. This includes beating the crap out of people who can't fight worth a damn like a doctor and a lawyer, but they've all been such huge jerks through the whole film that it's easy to cheer him on every step of the way.
* ''Film/{{Rage}}'',(previously known as "Tokarev"), Nicolas Cage as Paul Maguire. [[spoiler:"Rage" is actually the point of the movie, as it blinds our hero to actuality and drives him to execute a misconceived bloodbath of friend and foe]].

* ''Film/{{Serenity}}'':
** River Tam is [[HeroicBSOD rendered catatonic and helpless]] by the madness of the Reavers pushing in on her mind during the final battle, until her brother gets shot. [[WaifFu Ass-kick]][[CurbStompBattle ing results.]]

[[caption-width-right:250:[[{{Catchphrase}} Don't make him angry]]. [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry You won't like him when he's angry.]]\\

** This went to the [[PapaWolf logical extreme]] when he found out that the Inquisition had killed off nearly all of the Senseis, his biological children, while the others had gone into hiding and are now nearly impossible to find.

Used widely in {{shonen|Demographic}} anime. Perhaps because the young male demographic likes to see fast and brutal retribution against enemies who most likely [[BullyingADragon brought]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge it]] [[AcceptableTargets on]] [[AssholeVictim themselves.]]

* In ''Film/ThePatriot'', French & Indian War veteran Benjamin Martin is fueled with unstoppable rage when his second-oldest son is shot point-blank by the evil British Cavalry officer Col. Tavington. With minimal help from his two pint-sized sons, Ben brutally takes down a contingent of British Redcoats, not satisfied with making them dead but burning through all of that rage by hacking at one soldier's bloody corpse.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': A key part of Yang's Semblance. She absorbs all the damage she is hit with until she explodes in rage and attacks back with twice as much power. Unfortunately, the rage part means that she's UnskilledButStrong when using her Semblance, and a clever opponent can easily take advantage. Outside of trailers, the first time we see Yang's Semblance is in the Emerald Forest where Yang nearly blows up an Ursa [[NobodyTouchesTheHair for touching her hair]].

-->''“I went to school, I went to church, I played the tag team football, I learned about sharing and caring and playing, but…[[SuddenlyShouting CLOTHING]]!” Arthur screamed. “CORRECTIVE EYEGLASSES!” He screamed some more. “THAT’S MY FUCKING FACE. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis MY FUCKING. FACE!]]” Arthur got really angry.''

* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', the main reason why Mei's family wants her to seal her red panda form is because her mother went on violent rampages when angered. Ming attacked her mother as a teenager and destroyed half the temple when her mother initially refused to bless her relationship with Jin. When her red panda form is unleashed in the climax, she does massive damage to the [=SkyDome=], and gets angrier when Mei finally stands up to her.

** Go ahead. Fuck with Godzilla's kid. That's a dare. That's a ''double''-dare. No matter what the timeline, fucking with Godzilla's kid is a very ''painful'' way to commit suicide, because Godzilla won't just KILL you, he'll '''''END''''' you.

* ''Film/AvatarTheWayOfWater'': Neytiri flies of the ''deep'' end of this [[spoiler:after Neteyam is killed, going on a [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge murderous rampage]] and [[MookHorrorShow gruesomely slaughtering all of Quaritch's squad by herself]]. The rage is such that Spider is forced into hiding, cowering in fear as he watches the carnage unfold, and culminates with Neytiri killing the last squad member in her vicinity, [[ScreamingWarrior furiously screaming out of pure, blistering hate]] and [[AngryAnimalisticGrowl snarling demonically]].]]

* Millie in ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' is a very competent CuteButPsycho KnifeNut ProfessionalKiller at normal times. Threaten her husband Moxxie and she goes into deadly MamaBear mode. But (as seen in season 2 episode 3) try to get her out of the way and force Moxxie to marry a ''really annoying'' guy who's ''both'' her and his ex... words don't begin to describe it, and eighteen or so mafia goons trying to stop her are little more than something to vent her emotions on. Things she does during this battle include biting someone's heart out, kicking a bullet out of mid-air, and pulling someone's skull out of their head.
