History KillerRabbit / LiveActionFilms

** The baby ''[[PteroSoarer Pteranodons]]'' in ''Film/JurassicParkIII'', which attack in swarms and have sharp vicious beaks.

** Dennis Nedry in ''Film/JurassicPark'' gets killed by a fairly harmless-looking ''Dilophosaurus''... after it spits poison in his face, then ambushes him when he tries to get back to his truck. It should be noted that the real ''Dilophosaurus'' probably [[ArtisticLicensePaleontology couldn't do that]]. Then again, we really have no way of knowing, but they certainly did ''not'' have those nifty-looking frills. Also, the real ''Dilophosaurus'' was much bigger than the one in the movie.

-->"Did you find him?"\\
"...Just the parts they didn't like."

* ''Film/CatsAndDogs'' has the antagonist Mr Tinkles -- the cute cat who's also a DiabolicalMastermind.

** Furthermore, there are small, harmless-near-cute-looking Procompsognathus/Compsognathus in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'', whose packs are enough to turn a healthy adult male into...

** The Dimorphodons in ''Film/JurassicWorld'', though they're not exactly cute or cuddly looking before they start mauling people.

** The ''Lystrosaurus'' and the ''Moros'' in ''Film/JurassicWorldDominion''. The first being a tiny herbivore doesn't mean it won't bite, especially not when it's armed with a pair of sharp fang-like tusks. While the second is a tiny feathered ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', it certainly looks like a GoofyFeatheredDinosaur, it's also shown to be more than capable of taking down small prey. In the film, it is shown killing a mouse with ease.

* ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''
** The Rabbit of Caerbannog. Ironically, Arthur and his knights are [[CassandraTruth warned repeatedly by Tim the Enchanter about the power of the rabbit]]. [[IWarnedYou They don't listen]], and he laments how no-one listens to him because "it's just a harmless little bunny!" After being InstantlyProvenWrong in thinking they can take it on as a group, with a few more knights killed in the process, they resort to using a HolyHandGrenade to finally slay the beast.
--->"Look at the ''bones!''"
** An implied example in the same movie would be the Vicious Chicken of Bristol which Sir Robin nearly stood up to, though given that it's [[LovableCoward Sir Robin]], the Chicken might be a case of DeathbringerTheAdorable (though he's never shown cowering and running away from anything harmless-looking in the movie).
* Given a LampshadeHanging in ''Film/GalaxyQuest'': while the rest of the crew is {{Squee}}ing about how adorable the child-like alien miners are, the very GenreSavvy Guy worries, "Oh, sure, they're cute now. But in a second they're going to get mean. And they're going to get ugly somehow. And there's going to be a million more of them." Moments later, he's proven right.

* ''Film/NightOfTheLepus,'' a movie about '''[[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Giant]] [[AttackOfTheKillerWhatever Killer Bunny Rabbits]]'''. It's [[NightmareRetardant intended as a horror film]]. Meat-eating rabbits that hunt and kill horses at one point. Three scientists grab the Idiot Ball hard to make it happen.
* The gopher in ''Film/{{Caddyshack}}''.
* ''Film/CatsAndDogs'' has the antagonist Mr Tinkles -- the cute cat who's also a DiabolicalMastermind.
* Let's not forget ''Film/{{Screamers}}''. Can I come with you?
* The Vampire Pomeranian in ''Film/BladeTrinity'' named Pac-Man. It appears to have the split-mouth of a Reaper.
-->'''Hannibal King:''' You made a goddamn vampire... ''Pomeranian''?!?

* The title character in the ''Film/{{Leprechaun}}'' series.
* Chucky from the original ''Film/ChildsPlay'' films (before his Frankenstein makeover).
* On the good ship ''Film/{{Serenity}}'', who's the most dangerous crewman? Is it the wily and wary [[TheCaptain captain Malcolm Reynolds]]? The calm, stoic, and deadly [[LadyOfWar first mate Zoe]]? The [[TheBigGuy giant, burly Jayne]] with [[WallOfWeapons enough weapons to outfit a revolution]]? Nope. Look behind them. Not at the [[AcePilot pilot]], or the [[GoodShepherd preacher]], though they're [[LetsGetDangerous deadly enough]] [[BadassPreacher in their own right]]. Not at the [[WrenchWench mechanic]], and not the [[TheMedic doctor]] or [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold the Companion]]. Yeah, ''There''. That teenage girl in the back, with the [[MessyHair unwashed hair]], [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette pale skin]], glazed and distracted eyes, [[CloudCuckoolander who's mumbling something about hummingbirds]]? Her name is River. Get on her bad side, and ''[[TranquilFury she]] [[WaifFu will]] [[SuperSoldier fucking]] [[PsychicPowers end]] [[OneManArmy you]].''

* Played with in ''Film/{{Gozu}}''. You'll never know if the cute Chihuahua in fact was a trained Yakuza attack dog.
* A whole colony in ''Film/TheLoneRanger''. It's rather creepy too.
* Sam in ''Film/HappyAccidents'' is terrified of tiny dogs.
* ''Film/{{Bullitt}}:'' The mob hitman is a grey-haired man in plain clothes. His driver looks like a middle-aged accountant, but Bullitt has to work hard to keep up with him in the car chase.
* ''[[Film/CaptainMarvel2019 Captain Marvel]]'': The sweet, innocent kitty Goose is later revealed to be [[spoiler:a [[TheDogIsAnAlien Flerken]], an extremely dangerous creature with a PocketDimension full of CombatTentacles in her mouth.]]
* ''Film/ABCsOfDeath2'': The badger in "B is for Badger". In RealLife, badgers can be dangerous, but not ''that'' dangerous. [[spoiler:They are certainly not capable of ripping a grown man in half]].
* ''Film/TheDarkCrystal'':
** Fizzgig looks a cute furball until he opens his ''wide'' mouth and reveals ''four'' rows of serrated teeth.
** Furthermore, the animals in the Skeksis' laboratory use their combined cute fluffiness to escape and savagely maul the Scientist down into the furnace, saving Kira.
* ''Film/TheGillymuck'': The titular creature looks like a stuffed E.T. doll, and becomes [=VICIOUS=] when mocked. [[spoiler:Just ask the three mean girls.]]

** Ewoks. Yes, they're cute. Yes, they're fuzzy and huggable and all that. Yes, they're adorable miniature bears. Think about that one. Miniature ''{{bears|AreBadNews}}''! With astonishing engineering skill for a neolithic materials base, extensive knowledge of sophisticated warfare, and a willingness to kill and eat other sapient beings. Think of them as armed, sapient, and highly sophisticated sociopathic bipedal giant koalas who regard you as potential food, and you'll start to understand exactly why the Ewoks qualify for this trope. Still don't believe us? Go read ''Apocalypse Endor'' (Star Wars Tales 14). That's right -- Endor is TheEmpire's [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar 'Nam]].
