* The indie movie ''Film/{{Amreeka}}'', which revolves around Muna and Fadi Farah, a mother and son, as they transition from their life in [[UsefulNotes/PalestinianTerritories the West Bank]] to [[FlyoverCountry a rural Indiana town,]] has them deal with the hostility of the locals since the story takes place a few months after [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror 9-11.]] Particularly, they have to deal with a white high school student that refers to Fadi and his extended family as "terrorists," simply because they are Arab. Things come to a head when the Bully goes to Muna's workplace, and after making fun of them, she chases him and his friends away, which causes her to slip and fall while they walk away laughing. Later, when Fadi goes to confront the bully, they tussle on the ground with the bully yelling out: "terrorist!" Which causes the police to arrest Fadi, and hold him for questioning. It's only with the intervention of the Jewish high school principal that Fadi is let go with a warning, and the police stop any investigation for a possible terrorist connection.

** Dreykov the BigBad from ''Film/BlackWidow2021'' manages to be '''the single biggest example of this in the MCU''' possessing a level of misogyny that would give the Taliban a run for their money. He literally views ''all'' women as disposable resources for his own gain, which is why he created the Red Room program (where countless girls of young ages are brutally shaped into assassins and have their uteruses surgically removed) in the first place. And this on top of being a implied rapist and paedophile given how disturbingly invasive he is with Natasha. Though as Nat points out herself (while laughing off getting beaten up by him), Dreykov is far more pathetic than scary just being a megalomaniacal old Russian creep with a inferiority complex in the grand scheme of things.

* ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'' introduces its neo-Nazi villains by giving their leader a deeply racist speech at a rally. Our heroes are not pleased.[[note]]There's also the neo-Nazi henchman's report to his boss that the Blues brothers are "Catholics," and the boss' reaction to it. This probably flies over some modern viewers' heads, but anti-Catholicism was very serious business indeed in the Midwest for much of the twentieth century, where the large influx of immigrants from Catholic nations such as Ireland, Italy, or Poland was one of the biggest triggers for the growth of fascist and white supremacist movements, arguably becoming an even bigger deal than anti-black racism. In the modern day, this attitude has almost entirely died out; most white supremacist movements accept white people of all heritages and regardless of their Christian denomination. However, in 1980, these conflicts were just recent enough for anti-Catholicism to still be a driver in fascist movements - and a sore spot for people like the Blues, turning a dislike of Nazi politics on general principle into an ItsPersonal moment.[[/note]]

* ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'': The movie is largely an extended metaphor for the end of the Cold War, with the Klingon Empire suing for peace with the Federation: this does not sit well with everybody on either side of the border, leading to a conspiracy by people on both sides to keep the war going. While some of this is motivated by self-interest, a great deal of their motivation is rooted in pure prejudice: the film even intentionally uses phrases associated with American white supremacism, as when Admiral Cartwright says the Federation would be better off "bringing the Klingons to their knees"[[note]]a phrase lifted from pro-Ku-Klux-Klan movie ''Film/TheBirthOfANation1915''[[/note]]. Should be noted that this is in no way limited to the villains, as the heroes struggle throughout the film with their realization of how much their own attitudes towards the Klingons are rooted in pure prejudice. The difference is that they ''do'' struggle to overcome them.

* ''Film/BehindEnemyLines'': Naturally. The villains are Serbian supremacists in the middle of UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars. The reason they're pursuing a downed U.S. Navy pilot so insistently is that his plane overflew and took pictures of the mass graves of their murdered victims.

* ''Film/CharlieWilsonsWar'':
** Downplayed in that he's not really a villain, just an ObstructiveBureaucrat, but CIA official Henry Cravely's cavalier attitude towards the immigrants and children of immigrants employed at the Agency sets off an epically righteous rant by Gust Avrakotos. He's not the only one with this attitude, either, as he's defending a decision by the Director to fire three thousand officers, all of them first- or second-generation Americans.[[note]]The book goes into some more detail about it; the CIA when initially founded was largely a WASP-only club. It's been slowly loosening up since then, but Gust - the child of Greek immigrants - was part of the first generation of non-[=WASPs=] that were able to really rise within the Agency, encountering no small amount of class and ethnic prejudice from the old guard along the way.[[/note]]
-->'''Cravely''': I'm sorry, but you can hardly blame the Director for questioning the loyalty to America of people that are just barely American in the first place.
** An offscreen example that nevertheless looms over the entire movie: Gust tries to warn Charlie repeatedly about the dangers of involving himself too deeply with various brands of religious fanatics in his crusade to get the Soviets out of Afghanistan. Charlie does listen, but never realizes the full depth of the problem until reports start coming in of islamists taking over parts of the country after the Soviet withdrawal, by which time nobody in the U.S. government cares.
** The little we see of the Soviets on screen qualifies them as well. The scenes with combat helicopter pilots casually chatting about their love lives even as they gun down entire Afghan villages with sociopathic indifference falls easily within the usual cliches about [[EvilColonialist Evil Colonialists]].


Added DiffLines:

** The [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheDialOfDestiny fifth]] film gives us a Nazi villain as well - one of Hitler's former scientists who's still trying to restore his empire. As it's now TheSixties, it also modernizes by making one of his henchmen an American neo-Nazi.
** Mola-Ram from the [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom second]] film also qualifies, an instance of religious prejudice in his case. He's planning to use the power of the Shankara Stones to lead his cult on a crusade around the world, and speaks eagerly of stamping out the Muslim, "Hebrew," and Christian religions.[[note]]Which is even more notable because Thuggee banditry was fairly tolerant by the standards of its time, including both Muslim and Hindu members.[[/note]]
** All in all, Irina Spalko and her Soviet underlings from the [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull fourth]] movie are the only villainous faction in the franchise that ''isn't'' guided by some sort of racial or religious prejudice. (Not that this stops their plans from being plenty horrifying in their own ways, of course).


Added DiffLines:

** ''Film/AViewToAKill'': One of the secondary villains, Dr. Carl Mortner. Being a former Nazi qualifies him as this by default, but he takes it to eleven by having run a SuperBreedingProgram for them during the war with the intention of creating an improved race of humans (the main villain of the movie being a surviving member of those experiments). While Mortner today is only a simple horse breeder in his official identity, he still feels comfortable telling strangers that his selective horse-breeding programs could work equally well with humans.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/LaraCroftTombRaiderTheCradleOfLife'': Dr. Jonathan Reiss. He has a strong streak of the OmnicidalManiac in him, but is ultimately closer to a KillThePoor villain. As his NewEraSpeech to Lara clarifies, he doesn't actually intend for the Pandora virus to wipe out the ''entire'' human race, only most of them. Before releasing it, he wants to produce enough antiserum to protect what he considers to be the best and brightest: "heads of corporation, heads of state."


Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/TheLegendOfTarzan'': Léon Rom, the envoy of the Belgian monarchy in the Congo Free State that it rules. The film's events are kicked off when Tarzan is recruited by an American abolitionist to help investigate claims that Rom and his government are enslaving the local African tribesmen to build their colonial empire; those claims turn out to be well-founded.[[note]]TruthInTelevision, unfortunately, as the Congo Free State was considered a horror show even by the standards of the colonial era, which is saying a lot.[[/note]]


Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/TheManFromUNCLE'':
** Played straight with "Uncle Rudi," a former Nazi now working for the main villains. He's less than impressed with his niece's new Soviet boyfriend, for both racial and class reasons.
-->'''Rudi''': I know that the equity of aristocratic blood is not appreciated by most communists. But a good German girl knows never to mix the blood of a race horse with that of a cart horse.
** Downplayed with the Vinciguerras, the main villains. They're never shown expressing any overt prejudices, but they were still Italian Fascists and lead an organization that's still loyal to the Axis cause.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/TheMaskOfZorro'': The BigBad, Don Rafael Montero, is an aristocrat and former Spanish colonial governor who deeply believes in his superiority over the peasants he rules; Zorro's ClarkKenting works precisely because, on general principle, he refuses to even look a servant in the eye. He's also a chauvinist, dismissing his daughter's more populist worldview as "a woman's grasp of politics" (to her face and in front of a room full of guests).
** ''Film/TheLegendOfZorro'': The sequel's BigBad isn't nearly as in-your-face, but TheDragon more than makes up for it. Jacob [=MacGivens=] is a Christian fundamentalist militia leader with a strong racial loathing for the Mexican Catholics that make up most of southern California's population, who's fond of misquoting or straight-up inventing Bible verses to vindicate his worldview. The BatmanColdOpen has him trying to steal the box of ballots they've just cast in favor of U.S. statehood, while the rest of the movie has him aligning with proto-Confederate secessionists and the villain's aristocratic secret society in their plot to start a civil war and bring down the United States.
--->'''Jacob [=MacGivens=]''': You remember that Babylon was condemned to ashes for extending its empire to inferior races![[note]]While parts of the Bible undoubtedly would count as "politically incorrect" by today's standards, this particular claim has no scriptural basis whatsoever. For extra points in irony, the Babylonians were a semitic nation based in modern-day Iraq, who would almost certainly be considered an "inferior race" themselves by the standards of a modern WASP supremacist.[[/note]]


Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/MenInBlack'': Crossing over with FantasticRacism, the Bug spends the entire movie expressing a revulsion for human beings that's as intense and deep-seated as most humans' revulsion for, well, bugs. Offhand comments by both him and Agent K suggest that this is because Bugs as a species are pretty universally looked down on in the wider galaxy, so he's thrilled to have found a species whose status is even lower than his.

* ''Film/ThePeacemaker'': In addition to being crass, rude, treasonous, murderous, and willing to sell nuclear weapons to the highest bidder, General Kodoroff also loathes the lower classes:

A fairly mild example, but he stands out given that the movie, set in the Deep South and released barely a decade after desegregation, makes a point of having most of its characters fairly free of prejudice.
-->'''Buford''': Hey boy! Where's Sheriff Branford?

* ''Film/BlazingSaddles'': Oddly, BigBad Hedley Lamarr doesn't show as much blatant bigotry as his henchmen, Mr. Taggart and Lyle. He doesn't show as much racism as the InnocentBystanders that the black sheriff is protecting! When hiring outlaws the BigBad advertises himself as an [[EqualOpportunityEvil Equal Opportunity Employer]] and specifically mentions in his famous LongList that he wants criminals of many different races and backgrounds working for him. On the other hand, he doesn't hesitate to [[WouldHitAGirl slap Lily around]] and insult her [[AcceptableTargets German ancestry]] when she does a HighHeelFaceTurn. Hedley is also in charge of appropriating land in Colorado from the local Indians, justifying this by claiming that "they're such children." Even that could be chalked up to playing to his audience, the governor and his cabinet. Lamarr just does it for the money and power.

* In ''Film/SpiderMan'' Norman Osborn aka Green Goblin just like his comics version is deeply misogynistic. Just see the Thanksgiving dinner scene, where he gives poor MJ a gross leer and then after storming out upon realising Peter is Spider-Man delivers this tirade to Harry about his then girlfriend.

* ''Film/Renfield2023'': The Lobos apparently hire the services of a bulky assassin known as "Apache Joe". This is a White man referring to himself in a name from a Native American tribe, but to quote Teddy Lobo:
--> "He cuts out people's [[TongueTrauma tongues with a hunting knife]]. ''You'' tell him his nickname is racist!"

** Dreykov the BigBad from ''Film/BlackWidow2021'' manages to be '''the single biggest example of this in the MCU''' possessing a level of misogyny that would give the Taliban a run for their money. He literally views ''all'' women as disposable resources for his own gain, which is why he created the Red Room program (where countless girls of young ages are brutally shaped into assassins and have their uteruses surgically removed) in the first place. And this on top of being a implied rapist and paedophile given how disturbingly invasive he is with Natasha. Though as Nat points out herself (while laughing off getting beaten up by him), Dreykov is far more pathetic than scary just being a megalomaniacal old Russian creep with a inferiority complex in the grand scheme of things.

--->'''Norman''': Harry, please. Look at her. Do you think a woman like that is sniffing around because she likes your personality?
--->'''Harry''': What are you saying?
--->'''Norman''': Your mother was beautiful too. They're all beautiful until they're snarling after your trust fund like a pack of ravening wolves.
--->'''Harry''': You're wrong about her Dad.
--->'''Norman''': A word to the not so wise about your little girlfriend, Do what you need to with her, then broom her fast.
** It’s important to note Norman wasn’t this awful before taking the [[PsychoSerum Goblin formula]], which exacerbated [[SplitPersonality his worst]] [[SuperPoweredEvilSide qualities to the extreme]].
