[[spoiler:Hydell eventually murders Alex himself to become the main villain for the final minutes.]]

* In ''Film/MissionImpossibleFallout'', once it's revealed that [[spoiler: the White Widow is actually working with the IMF and the CIA, and that Walker and Lark are one and the same,]] the BigBad group turns out to be two people: Solomon Lane and [[spoiler: August Walker]], who are not associated beyond their deal: [[spoiler: Walker]] helping Lane inflict a FateWorseThanDeath revenge on Ethan, in exchange for Lane helping [[spoiler: Walker]] carry out his plan to irradiate 1/3 of the world's water supply, and neither is really taking orders from the other. [[spoiler: Walker]] is TheHeavy, driving the action by having hired the Apostles for his scheme, but he's also stuck following Lane's plans for Ethan to get what he wants. Both of them are also confronted at the same time in the climax. Benji and Ilsa have to fight off Lane to diffuse the bomb he's guarding (with Luther and Julia already working on diffusing the first bomb back at the medical camp) while Ethan tries to stop [[spoiler: Walker]] from escaping with the detonator.
* In ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'', Evanora, The Wicked Witch of the East, and her AxCrazy sister, [[spoiler: Theodora, The Wicked Witch of the West]] join together to try and take over Oz, and kill Glinda the Good. [[spoiler: They fail.]]
* ''Film/ThePeopleUnderTheStairs'': Mommy and Daddy Robeson, a duo of depraved child kidnappers.
* Some of the ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'' movies get into this, playing the EvilVersusEvil version of the trope.
** ''Film/BeneathThePlanetOfTheApes'' has [[GeneralRipper General Ursus]], a militaristic [[KillerGorilla gorilla demagogue]] leading the apes to war against the human mutants, led by SinisterMinister ApocalypseCult leader Mendez XXVI. Both leaders are presented as pretty bad, with the more noble characters trying to PreventTheWar and [[spoiler: failing, leading to the Earth's total destruction once and for all.]]
** ''Film/BattleForThePlanetOfTheApes'', set earlier and in a different timeline where the future seen in ''Beneath'' might still be possible to avert, echoes the other film's central conflict. This time, the war is started by the human mutants, led by Kolp, a former PunchClockVillain turned apocalypse-maddened warmonger (with Mendez I appearing as his TokenGoodTeammate). At the same time, among the apes, TreacherousAdvisor [[GeneralRipper General Aldo]] is planning a coup against Caesar, the (mostly) [[TheGoodKing Good King]].
* Miraz, Glozelle, and Sopespian have elements of this in ''Film/PrinceCaspian''- Miraz is dominant, but he is forced to (grudgingly) rely on the other two. [[spoiler: When they've finally had enough of him, they kill him and become a full Big Bad Duumvirate for the remainder of the film.]] The three have elements of this dynamic in the book as well, though the movie gives all three more screen time and therefore emphasizes it more.
* In ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', after BigBadWannabe Vizzini is killed off unceremoniously, the focus shifts onto a duumvirate of TheEvilPrince Humperdinck - a SmugSnake DirtyCoward - and his trusted advisor, Count Rugen - an [[EvilGenius brilliant]] but [[MadScientist psychotic alchemist]]. Technically, Humperdinck is the clear boss, but the story puts around as much narrative weight on Rugen, who is probably more dangerous than the prince; he's definitely smarter and seems to be a much better sword-fighter. Rugen also has a [[YouKilledMyFather personal history]] with one of the heroes, and his [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya death]] [[PrepareToDie scene]] is one of the most satisfying moments in the movie, while Humperdinck [[spoiler: is deliberately spared by the heroes, left "to live a long life, alone with his cowardice"]]. We hate Rugen, but we feel contempt for Humperdinck.
* Clarence Boddicker and Dick Jones from ''Film/RoboCop1987''. While Boddicker ''is'' technically working for Jones, his position and connections as a crime boss in Detroit put him on near equal footing in power with Jones as the vice-president of OCP. As well, Jones is a NonActionBigBad handling corporate politics while Boddicker serves as the main muscle with his gangs on the street.
* ''Film/Scream1996'' has the various main characters being stalked and killed by Ghostface, who turns out to be an alias shared by [[spoiler: Billy and Stu]]. While this isn't the only time a film in the ''Film/{{Scream}}'' franchise had more than one killer, it is the only one where the villains are on equal footing.[[note]]The BigBad of both ''Film/Scream2'' and ''Film/Scream4'' had [[TheDragon an accomplice]] they were planning to use as a scapegoat from the very beginning.[[/note]] [[spoiler:In fact, [[Film/Scream3 the third film]] is the only one where the killer isn't actually two characters sharing the Ghostface costume.

* ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'':
** Megatron and [[spoiler:[[FaceHeelTurn Sentinel Prime]]]] in ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon''. Though by the end of the move, it's clear that [[spoiler: Sentinel]] is the one calling the shots; as Carly points out, Megatron is "[[spoiler: Sentinel]]'s bitch."
** Lockdown and Harold Attinger in ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'', both working together to fulfill their own separate agendas.
** ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight'' has Megatron forming one once again, this time with [[GreaterScopeVillain Quintessa]] to [[spoiler:restore Cybertron at the cost of destroying Earth]].
** ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'' has Shatter and Dropkick, two Decepticon hunters that are hunting scattered Autobots, eventually tracking Bumblebee to Earth where they manipulate Sector 7 into aiding them in his capture.
* It is unclear if [[SissyVillain Darren]] "[[BloodKnight Wall Street]]" [[HiddenBadass Bettencourt]] was TheDragon to [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Mr. Kwai]] in the first of ''Film/TheTransporter'' movies, or if it was an example of this, with Kwai as the more senior partner.
* William Stranix and [[spoiler:[[CorruptCorporateExecutive Commander Krill]]]] in ''Film/UnderSiege''.
* ''Film/{{Venom 2018}}'': The Life Foundation — led by Dr. Carlton Drake — discovered the symbiotes on an asteroid, brought them to Earth using a space probe, and is using them unlawfully on test subjects that could die as a result of the exposure. On the other side, there's Riot who's spearheading an invasion force of symbiotes to conquer Earth and eventually bonds with Drake to accomplish this.
* ''Film/TheVirginSpring'' has the two unnamed shepherds who raped and killed Karin.
* Albert and Ray in ''Film/AWalkAmongTheTombstones''.
----
* ''Film/TheAmazingPandaAdventure'': The poachers, Shong and Po, appear to be in an equal partnership.
* ''Film/{{Andersonville}}'': Wirz, the commandant of the HellholePrison, and Collins, leader of "the raiders" who rob, starve and murder the other prisoners so they can live in (relative) luxury.
* ''Film/{{Antichrist}}'': [[spoiler:The Three Beggars, Grief, Pain and Despair, three supernatural beings who haunt Eden and caused the plot by driving She insane]].
* ''Film/AttackOfTheGiantLeeches'': There are two giant leeches terrorizing the town.
* In the third ''Film/AustinPowers'' movie, Dr. Evil teams up with Goldmember against Austin Powers.
* ''Film/TheBananaSplits'' have Fleegle and Drooper, who have more screen-time and kills than Bingo and Snorky.
* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':
** ''Film/BatmanTheMovie'' (1966) has Joker, Penguin, Catwoman and the Riddler all acting as equals in a 4-man villain band against Batman and Robin. ''WesternAnimation/BatmanReturnOfTheCapedCrusaders'', and animated film based on the 1966 era, sees the return of this 4-man band.
** ''Film/BatmanReturns'' originally has Catwoman and Penguin working together to turn Batman into a villain. This ends when Penguin proposes to Catwoman.
** The Riddler and Two Face in ''Film/BatmanForever'', with one providing the brawn and the other the brain.
** ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' sees Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy acting as equals.
* [[BodyguardBetrayal Morris]] and [[PsychoForHire Hazar]] in ''Film/BigGame'', although their cooperation is more along the lines of TeethClenchedTeamwork than anything else. They both want to hunt Moore down, although for somewhat different reasons.
* ''Film/BlackChristmas2006'': Billy Lenz and [[spoiler:his sister Agnes]] are tag teaming their murders.
* ''Film/BlackPanther2018'' has [[ArmsDealer Ulysses Klaue]] and [[[[Comicbook/{{Killmonger}} Erik Killmonger]] Erik "Killmonger" Stevens]] serving as the film's {{Big Bad}}s, as they are working together to steal vibranium weapons and sell them. [[spoiler:About halfway through the film, Erik kills Klaue and becomes the sole BigBad.]]
* ''Film/BonnieAndClyde'': [[VillainProtagonist Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow]], the OutlawCouple leaders of a bank robbing gang.
* [[spoiler:Ward Abbott]] and [[spoiler:[[CorruptCorporateExecutive Yuri Gretkov]]]] in ''Film/TheBourneSupremacy''. [[spoiler:True to form, Gretkov refuses to come to Abbott's assistance near the end of the movie, leading to Abbott's capture by Bourne and [[DrivenToSuicide suicide]] by gun.]]
** ''Franchise/TheBourneSeries'' has an overall Big Bad Duumvirate that gets larger as the series goes on. In the beginning it was just Ward Abbott who was behind Project Treadstone, but as the series goes on it becomes Abbott, Ezra Kramer, Noah Vosen, Albert Hirsch, Eric Byer, and Robert Dewey, all of whom were involved in the conspiracy in some way.
* Cyrus "The Virus" Grissum and Nathan "Diamond Dog" Jones in ''Film/ConAir''. Nathan is ''technically'' taking orders from Cyrus, but they both have equal authority and Nathan admits he is only doing so for the time being.
* ''Film/{{Constantine}}'': TheAntiChrist Mammon and [[spoiler:rogue archangel Gabriel]] are in an alliance to bring HellOnEarth.
* ''Film/TheCreepingTerror'' reveals that [[spoiler:there are two monsters on the ship]].
* In ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', Bane and [[spoiler: Talia al Ghul]] are either this or [[spoiler: Bane is TheDragon to Talia]]; the movie allows a multitude of interpretations. Although ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} appears, she isn't part of the BigBad club by any means.
* ''Film/DjangoUnchained'' has Calvin Candie and his head slave Stephen.
* It's heavily implied that the crime syndicate in ''Film/Drive2011'' is run jointly by Bernie and Nino, though both aren't always aware of the other's actions.
* ''Film/EarthVsTheFlyingSaucers'' has the two unnamed leaders of the AlienInvasion.
* ''Film/{{Freaks}}'' has Hercules the strongman and Cleopatra the trapeze artist.
* Deckard Shaw and Mose Jakande from ''Film/FuriousSeven''.
* James [=McCullen=] [[spoiler:a.k.a Destro]] and The Doctor [[spoiler:a.k.a Cobra Commander]] in ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra''.
* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'':
** ''Film/GodzillaVsGigan'' has both Gigan and King Ghidorah as the {{Kaiju}} villains. Gigan would return to team up with Megalon in ''Film/GodzillaVsMegalon''.
** The two MUTO monsters from ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}'' are more or less this, though the female is arguably the bigger threat (and literally the bigger monster) as she carries with her thousands of baby monsters and is the most protective of them.
* [[spoiler: Yuri and Irina Komarov]] are revealed to be this at the end of ''Film/AGoodDayToDieHard''.
* ''Film/HardcoreHenry'': Akan and [[spoiler: Estelle]].
* ''Film/{{Hercules 2014}}'': [[spoiler:Cotys and Eurystheus are in an alliance to take over Greece]].
* ''Film/TheHitmansWifesBodyguard'' has Aristotle Papadopoulos, the terrorist leader trying to shut down Europe, and [[spoiler: Michael Bryce Sr.]], his head of security. The two are also confronted at the same time in the climax: Aristotle by Kincaid and Sonia and Senior by Bryce.
* [[spoiler:Simon Skinner]] and [[spoiler: Inspector Frank Butterman]] in ''Film/HotFuzz''.
* In ''Film/HudsonHawk'' the main villains are Darwin and Minerva Mayflower, the world's richest, most evil, most obnoxious couple.
* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' has Walter Donovan and [[FemmeFatale Elsa Schneider]]. One may argue that Donovan is the true villain here but both he and Elsa manipulated the Joneses and Elsa was the last one standing out of the two.
* The ''Film/JamesBond'' film series is fond of this trope:
** Subverted in ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun''. [[BigBadWannabe Hai Fat]] imagines he is this with Francisco Scaramanga, but Scaramanga proves him [[DeadlyEuphemism spectacularly wrong.]]
** Kamal Khan and [[RenegadeRussian General Orlov]] in ''Film/{{Octopussy}}''.
** General Georgi Koskov and "[[MilesGloriosus General]]" [[SmallNameBigEgo Brad Whitaker]] in ''Film/TheLivingDaylights''.
** Elliot Carver and General Chang in ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'' are implied to have this kind of relationship, but in practice Chang is a MinorMajorCharacter who only physically appears in one scene for less than 5 seconds. As far as the plot is concerned, Carver is the sole BigBad.
** Elektra King and Renard in ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'', though Elektra is the true BigBad of the film with Renard being TheDragon, albeit with Renard being ''very'' plot-relevant throughout the film and being Elektra's love interest.
** [[spoiler:[[MoleInCharge Max Denbigh]] and [[ArchEnemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld]]]] in ''Film/{{Spectre}}''. The latter is dominant, but the success of the EvilPlan depends on the former and each has a different reason to want it to succeed (the former is a WellIntentionedExtremist, the latter a straight-up villain). The two are confronted at the same time: the latter by Bond and the former by M and Q.
* ''Film/JungleCruise'': Prince Joachim and [[spoiler: Lope de Aguirre]] are the main villains.
* ''Film/JustBeforeDawn'': The murders are committed by [[spoiler:two inbred Hicks only known as the Mountain Twins]].
* ''Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiSuperHeroTaisen'' has [[LegionOfDoom Dai-Shocker]] from ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' return under the leadership of an alliance of various past ''Franchise/KamenRider'' {{Big Bad}}s and other major villains (which includes [[Series/KamenRiderStronger General Shadow]], [[Series/KamenRiderBlack Shadow Moon]], [[Series/KamenRiderBlackRX General Jark]], [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga N-Daguva-Zeba]], [[Series/KamenRider555 Arch Orphnoch]], [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Joker Undead]], [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto Gryllus Worm]], [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Bat Fangire]], [[Series/KamenRiderW Weather Dopant]] and [[spoiler:[[Series/KamenRiderDecade Narutaki]], in the [[MasterOfDisguise guise]] of [[Series/KamenRiderV3 Doktor G]]]]). It also introduces Dai-Zangyack, an alliance of ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' villains led by a group of past Sentai {{Big Bad}}s (which includes [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGorenger Black Cross]] [[Film/GokaigerGoseigerSuperSentai199HeroGreatBattle King]], [[Series/ChoudenshiBioman Silva]], [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Hades God Dagon]], [[Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger Long]], [[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Yogoshimacritein]], [[Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger Doukoku Chimatsuri]], [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Brajira]] and [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Warz and Ackdos Gill]]). Then at the end of the movie, the two groups team up.
* Its sequel movie ''Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiXSpaceSheriffSuperHeroTaisenZ'' features a much narrower Duumvirate between Shadow Moon, leader of [[LegionOfDoom Space Shocker]], and Reider of the Space Crime Syndicate Madou, who are both working to revive Madou's leader Demon King Psycho.
* Eddie Arkadian and Sho'nuff the Shogun of Harlem in ''Film/TheLastDragon''.
* ''Film/{{Lockout}}'': Alex and Hydell, the pair of prisoners who lead the riot and are brothers. Between the two, Alex takes center stage as the man with the plan much more often, but Hydell is so utterly psychotic that he's a much bigger threat because of his wanton murder and destruction. [[spoiler:Hydell eventually murders Alex himself to become the main villain for the final minutes.]]
* Torrez, Senator Mc Laughlin, and Von Jackson in ''Film/{{Machete}}''.
* ''Film/TheManFromNowhere'': Man-seok and Jong-seok are two brothers who run a drug-and-irgan trafficking ring.
* ''Film/MeatballMachine'' has [[spoiler:the unnamed duo of aliens that created the NecroBorgs]].
* Boris and his 1969 self (thanks to TimeTravel) in ''Film/MenInBlack3''.
* Jeff and the White Ninja in ''Film/MiamiConnection''.
* In ''Film/MissionImpossibleFallout'', once it's revealed that [[spoiler: the White Widow is actually working with the IMF and the CIA, and that Walker and Lark are one and the same,]] the BigBad group turns out to be two people: Solomon Lane and [[spoiler: August Walker]], who are not associated beyond their deal: [[spoiler: Walker]] helping Lane inflict a FateWorseThanDeath revenge on Ethan, in exchange for Lane helping [[spoiler: Walker]] carry out his plan to irradiate 1/3 of the world's water supply, and neither is really taking orders from the other. [[spoiler: Walker]] is TheHeavy, driving the action by having hired the Apostles for his scheme, but he's also stuck following Lane's plans for Ethan to get what he wants. Both of them are also confronted at the same time in the climax. Benji and Ilsa have to fight off Lane to diffuse the bomb he's guarding (with Luther and Julia already working on diffusing the first bomb back at the medical camp) while Ethan tries to stop [[spoiler: Walker]] from escaping with the detonator.
* In ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'', Evanora, The Wicked Witch of the East, and her AxCrazy sister, [[spoiler: Theodora, The Wicked Witch of the West]] join together to try and take over Oz, and kill Glinda the Good. [[spoiler: They fail.]]
* ''Film/ThePeopleUnderTheStairs'': Mommy and Daddy Robeson, a duo of depraved child kidnappers.
* Some of the ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'' movies get into this, playing the EvilVersusEvil version of the trope.
** ''Film/BeneathThePlanetOfTheApes'' has [[GeneralRipper General Ursus]], a militaristic [[KillerGorilla gorilla demagogue]] leading the apes to war against the human mutants, led by SinisterMinister ApocalypseCult leader Mendez XXVI. Both leaders are presented as pretty bad, with the more noble characters trying to PreventTheWar and [[spoiler: failing, leading to the Earth's total destruction once and for all.]]
** ''Film/BattleForThePlanetOfTheApes'', set earlier and in a different timeline where the future seen in ''Beneath'' might still be possible to avert, echoes the other film's central conflict. This time, the war is started by the human mutants, led by Kolp, a former PunchClockVillain turned apocalypse-maddened warmonger (with Mendez I appearing as his TokenGoodTeammate). At the same time, among the apes, TreacherousAdvisor [[GeneralRipper General Aldo]] is planning a coup against Caesar, the (mostly) [[TheGoodKing Good King]].
* Miraz, Glozelle, and Sopespian have elements of this in ''Film/PrinceCaspian''- Miraz is dominant, but he is forced to (grudgingly) rely on the other two. [[spoiler: When they've finally had enough of him, they kill him and become a full Big Bad Duumvirate for the remainder of the film.]] The three have elements of this dynamic in the book as well, though the movie gives all three more screen time and therefore emphasizes it more.
* In ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', after BigBadWannabe Vizzini is killed off unceremoniously, the focus shifts onto a duumvirate of TheEvilPrince Humperdinck - a SmugSnake DirtyCoward - and his trusted advisor, Count Rugen - an [[EvilGenius brilliant]] but [[MadScientist psychotic alchemist]]. Technically, Humperdinck is the clear boss, but the story puts around as much narrative weight on Rugen, who is probably more dangerous than the prince; he's definitely smarter and seems to be a much better sword-fighter. Rugen also has a [[YouKilledMyFather personal history]] with one of the heroes, and his [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya death]] [[PrepareToDie scene]] is one of the most satisfying moments in the movie, while Humperdinck [[spoiler: is deliberately spared by the heroes, left "to live a long life, alone with his cowardice"]]. We hate Rugen, but we feel contempt for Humperdinck.
* Clarence Boddicker and Dick Jones from ''Film/RoboCop1987''. While Boddicker ''is'' technically working for Jones, his position and connections as a crime boss in Detroit put him on near equal footing in power with Jones as the vice-president of OCP. As well, Jones is a NonActionBigBad handling corporate politics while Boddicker serves as the main muscle with his gangs on the street.
* ''Film/Scream1996'' has the various main characters being stalked and killed by Ghostface, who turns out to be an alias shared by [[spoiler: Billy and Stu]]. While this isn't the only time a film in the ''Film/{{Scream}}'' franchise had more than one killer, it is the only one where the villains are on equal footing.[[note]]The BigBad of both ''Film/Scream2'' and ''Film/Scream4'' had [[TheDragon an accomplice]] they were planning to use as a scapegoat from the very beginning.[[/note]] [[spoiler:In fact, [[Film/Scream3 the third film]] is the only one where the killer isn't actually two characters sharing the Ghostface costume. And in the original script, it was.]]
* Peoples Hernandez and [[Creator/ChristianBale Walter Wade Jr.]] in ''Film/{{Shaft 2000}}''.
* In ''Film/TotalRecall1990'' there's Vilos Cohaagen and [[spoiler:Hauser]], who formulated the plan to take down the Mars Resistance together.
* ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'':
** Megatron and [[spoiler:[[FaceHeelTurn Sentinel Prime]]]] in ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon''. Though by the end of the move, it's clear that [[spoiler: Sentinel]] is the one calling the shots; as Carly points out, Megatron is "[[spoiler: Sentinel]]'s bitch."
** Lockdown and Harold Attinger in ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction'', both working together to fulfill their own separate agendas.
** ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight'' has Megatron forming one once again, this time with [[GreaterScopeVillain Quintessa]] to [[spoiler:restore Cybertron at the cost of destroying Earth]].
** ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'' has Shatter and Dropkick, two Decepticon hunters that are hunting scattered Autobots, eventually tracking Bumblebee to Earth where they manipulate Sector 7 into aiding them in his capture.
* It is unclear if [[SissyVillain Darren]] "[[BloodKnight Wall Street]]" [[HiddenBadass Bettencourt]] was TheDragon to [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Mr. Kwai]] in the first of ''Film/TheTransporter'' movies, or if it was an example of this, with Kwai as the more senior partner.
* William Stranix and [[spoiler:[[CorruptCorporateExecutive Commander Krill]]]] in ''Film/UnderSiege''.
* ''Film/{{Venom 2018}}'': The Life Foundation — led by Dr. Carlton Drake — discovered the symbiotes on an asteroid, brought them to Earth using a space probe, and is using them unlawfully on test subjects that could die as a result of the exposure. On the other side, there's Riot who's spearheading an invasion force of symbiotes to conquer Earth and eventually bonds with Drake to accomplish this.
* ''Film/TheVirginSpring'' has the two unnamed shepherds who raped and killed Karin.
* Albert and Ray in ''Film/AWalkAmongTheTombstones''.
