%%* Like other portrayals of him, ''Film/TheAdventuresOfRobinHood'': The titular character.
%%* The Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the March Hare are all this in Creator/TimBurton's ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010''.
* Michelle from ''Film/AmericanPie''. She may be a [[LovableSexManiac nympho]] and a little crazy, but she's quite a nice person.
* ''Film/AngerManagement'': Buddy Rydell's therapy techniques to help Dave and TeachHimAnger include such shady activities as paying a transvestite prostitute, stopping the car in the middle of traffic, and making him confront a Buddhist.
* Lieutenant ColonelKilgore from ''Film/ApocalypseNow'' is a hedonistic warmongering surfer type who happens to be a force of good luck for Captain Willard and his crew in their mission to assassinate Colonel Kurtz, bombing a beach they have to cross simply because he couldn't stand to see such a beautiful surf-worthy beach being occupied by the enemy. What pushes him, just barely, into this territory is that he rewards a Viet Cong soldier for having the balls to keep fighting as his guts were spilling out by trying to give him some water from his own canteen. (Key word: ''trying''.)
* ''Film/BillyJack''. When his best friend is raped by the sheriff's son ([[KickTheDog mainly out of spite]]), she keeps it from Billy, knowing what he'll do. Billy finds out anyway and kills him in one of the greatest examples of TranquilFury ever put to celluloid.
* Jake and Elwood Blues of ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'' manage to level a Chicago mall, a gas station, the front of Daley Plaza, and several police cars in their quest to save the orphanage they were raised in. They also offer to steal the money first before getting the MissionFromGod.
* In ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'', Batman is clearly Chaotic Good, to the extent that drug dealers end up calling the police on HIM. The members of the Batmen Militia from ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' are even more so; though they're clearly good guys and are "only trying to help [him]", they're perfectly willing to use guns against the bad guys, and it doesn't help their case; it's shown early on that Batman regularly arrests its members any time he catches them out in the wild.
* ''Film/DemolitionMan'':
** Edgar Friendly is a slovenly man who flouts the saccharine tightly-controlled society of 2032 because he believes strongly in people being allowed to make their own choices. Unfortunately this puts him at odds with the LawfulEvil extremist leader who unfreezes a psychotic criminal to kill him.
--->'''Edgar Friendly''': ''(To Spartan)'' You see, according to *Cocteau's* plan. *I'm* the enemy. Because I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy who would sit in the greasy spoon and think "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the big rack of barbecued spare ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I *want* high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter, and buckets of cheese, alright? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run around naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading a Playboy magazine. Why? Because maybe I feel the need to, okay, pal? I've ''seen'' the future, you know what it is. It's made by a 47-year-old virgin in gray pajamas soaking in a bubble bath, drinking a broccoli milkshake, and thinking "I'm an Oscar-Meyer Wiener". You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau's way. [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill What he wants, when he wants, how he wants.]] Your other option: come down here, maybe starve to death.
** [[TheHero John Spartan]] is a sterling example as well. He is more than willing to break the rules to save people, and even [[SaveTheVillain saves Simon Phoenix]] from the building he blew up at the beginning, although it [[TheFarmerAndTheViper turns out to be a mistake on his part]]. His {{Love Interest|s}} Lenina Huxley starts out as more LawfulGood, but over the course of the movie, she becomes Chaotic Good like Spartan as well.
* ''Franchise/DieHard'': John [=McClane=]. Some cops use pepper spray. John [[spoiler:fills an elevator full of C-4 and uses it to clear out a floor of terrorists]]. If he didn't care so much about protecting civilians, this man would be considered a psychopath.
* ''Film/DirtyHarry'' is clearly this, despite being a police officer. He frequently breaks laws and is remarkably blunt in his criticism of them.
-->'''Rothko''': This rifle might make a nice souvenir. But it's inadmissible as evidence.\\
'''Callahan''': Who says that?\\
'''Rothko''': It's the law.\\
'''Callahan''': Well, then, the law is crazy.
* In ''Film/DungeonsAndDragonsHonorAmongThieves'', most of the heroes (Edgin Darvis, Holga Kilgore, and Simon Aumar) have this as their official alignment. They are a bunch of thieves and con-men who nevertheless respect innocent life, only steal from the rich, and will act as heroes if the situation calls for it. Edgin gets bonus points for being motivated primarily by the welfare of his wife and daughter.
* John Rambo is a ShellShockedVeteran AntiHero who hates to be pushed around; but he will [[Film/FirstBlood avoid killing his own countrypeople]], [[Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII save imprisoned veterans]], [[Film/RamboIII rescue his]] ColonelBadass mentor, and [[Film/RamboIV protect his]] MoralityPet missionary from being raped. In short, he will go out all his way to save and protect anyone worth protecting even if it means completely disregarding orders from above and the ThouShaltNotKill policy of some other people.
* The Monkey King from ''Film/TheForbiddenKingdom'' virtually embodies Chaotic Good. He's playful but benign, even causing a scene during the appearance of a divine Emperor who only appears once every five hundred years. HilarityEnsues. This is true of most versions of ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''. There's nothing ''evil'' about Monkey. He's [[SmallNameBigEgo arrogant]] even by PhysicalGod standards (though whether he counts as a god is debatable). Buddha [[AmbiguousGender him/herself]] had to put a gold headband on his head (which shrinks whenever Tripitaka, or presumably anyone really, chants the "Headache Sutra") and crush him under a mountain just so he'd be a little bit controllable, but it's not like he doesn't ''want'' to help Trippitaka. If it were up to Monkey, he'd cloud-fly Trippitaka straight to India and be back before lunch. He actually had to be restrained from going ''too fast''.
* Franchise/IndianaJones cares about his friends and family deeply and will fight for any of them, even if it means sacrificing the MacGuffin to do so. But he sure won't care about any rules that get in his way.
* Yang Tianchun from ''Film/IronMonkey'' is a Chinese Robin Hood. By day, he's a doctor who makes rich people pay through the teeth while giving free service to poor people (he's the only doctor in town, so he can get away with it too). By night, he's an expert martial artist who steals from greedy government officials and beats up corrupt Shaolin Monks 4 to 1.
* The lighter portrayals of ''Film/JamesBond'', such as in the Creator/RogerMoore era, tend to portray him as a LovableRogue who's out to fight evil but causes plenty of destruction in the process. Grittier interpretations lean more towards ChaoticNeutral.
* Bud White in the movie adaptation of ''Film/LAConfidential'' is, overall, a Chaotic Good cop who has his own brand of justice. His rivalry with Ed Exley exemplifies the difference between Chaotic Good (White) and LawfulGood (Exley, [[spoiler:at least until the ending, when he kills the villain in cold blood]]). What's interesting is that the movie casts many shades of grey on both individuals, with the first often coming across as a vigilante thug and the second as a self-satisfied, holier-than-thou jerk (in the book, both were even less sympathetic).
* Joe Hallenbeck, the AntiHero protagonist of ''Film/TheLastBoyScout''. Aside from being a self loathing, pessimistic, chain smoking, borderline misogynistic bastard ("...and then some."), he also gives a sinister death threat to two of the badguys. He doesn't lie, something the bad guys learnt the hard way.
* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
** Despite being either LawfulGood or LawfulNeutral in the comics, the [[Film/IronMan film version]] of ComicBook/IronMan fits here. He flies into a combat zone without telling anyone (almost getting himself killed by the US military in the process), deliberately [[spoiler:goes against SHIELD's advice and reveals he is Iron Man]], and, in the second film, [[spoiler:refuses to give the government access to his technology]].
** Most of the ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' are of this alignment, except Drax, who is True Neutral (since vengeance is all that drives him), and Rocket, who is textbook Chaotic Neutral.
* Film/MaryPoppins, in the film of the same name, is a benevolent force of chaos in her charges' too-ordered lives.
* ''Film/TheMask'': The Mask at first is Chaotic Neutral but at the end of the film shifts to this as he is a good-hearted man despite his wild nature.
* Ofelia in ''Film/PansLabyrinth'' is defined by her rebellious and spirited nature, and doesn't follow orders even when she would ostensibly benefit from doing so.
* ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'':
** ''[[TheyCallMeMisterTibbs Captain]]'' Jack Sparrow. He has no respect for law or authority, but at the end of the day, he can't seem to stop himself from doing the right thing, even when NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished. He's an unapologetic thief and pirate, but refuses to [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil take part in the slave trade]] and routinely goes out of his way to save innocents, even at risk of being imprisoned... Or worse.
** Most of the other heroic pirates fall here as well. They are after all pirates, so being chaotic is no surprise, but they all seem to have some degree of a moral compass. A strong example occurs towards the end of [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl the first movie]], where they abandon Jack for dead, but [[ConscienceMakesYouGoBack come back for him in the end]]. And of course, we [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything never see them engage in actual piracy]], just stealing from [[AssholeVictim people who deserve it]] and [[PayEvilUntoEvil villains]].
* ''Film/RushHour'' has Detective Carter, who works for the FBI, but has no partner (which he is criticized for), is loud/obnoxious, and does things his way. He is told off by the chief for what he did but he just ended up justifying his actions by saying no one got hurt and the job got done. He ends up helping people enough to keep him from being Chaotic Neutral.
* Kirk in ''Film/StarTrek2009'', in contrast to Spock's LawfulGood nature and [=McCoy=]'s NeutralGood. He saves the galaxy after cheating in the Kobayashi Maru test for a reason.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** R2-D2 will break any rule he thinks gets in the way of his core duty: service to his owner. This sometimes includes ignoring his owner's commands.
** Han Solo starts off as a ChaoticNeutral criminal who's OnlyInItForTheMoney but isn't malicious enough to be evil. His loyalty to Leia and Luke leads to him redeeming himself enough to qualify as good, but he still plays by nobody's rules but his own. By the time of ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', he's become the one insisting that the rebels need to press on for the sake of the galaxy.
--->''NeverTellMeTheOdds''.
** Chewbacca, who like Han is a criminal who dislikes rules or impositions on his freedom but who is brave, loyal, and benevolent, also qualifies.
** Anakin Skywalker (before becoming Darth Vader) also seems to be this alignment, seeking to do good in the galaxy as a Jedi Knight but chafing under the strict rules and regulations of the Jedi Order, although he considers himself NeutralGood. However, over the course of the prequels, he grows tired of constant conflict and desires order, beginning his shift to LawfulEvil.
* ''Film/TheThreeStooges'' tend to be this, as the chaos they wreak is almost never intentional on their part and they are almost always the good guys. Though there are many occasions where they are more ChaoticNeutral and two occasions where they are clearly ChaoticEvil. Most of their films that don't have them just looking out for themselves to evade an enemy have them come across someone in need and forget their own interests in order to help. They are usually pure of heart... and dim of wit.
* The ''Film/{{Tremors}}'' series has Burt Gummer, a CrazySurvivalist who is openly distrustful of the government and plays by nobody's rules but his own, but also is very respectful of human life and can always be counted on to protect people from the monsters he constantly faces.
* Kevin Flynn in ''Film/{{Tron}}'' acts like an overgrown teenager, and cheerfully uses his hacking not only to try and prove Dillinger's theft but to make his traffic tickets and phone bills vanish. What prevents him from going completely ChaoticNeutral is that he genuinely cares for the people he allies himself with. [[spoiler:He seems to have clawed his way into NeutralGood by the sequel.]] [[LikeFatherLikeSon His son Sam]] in ''Film/TronLegacy'' proves the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, checking in with his dad's company for an annual practical joke (to try and shame them into doing the right thing) and being on a first-name basis with the police officers working the impound lot.
* V in ''V For Vendetta'' is a [[ChaoticNeutral tough call]] in [[ComicBook/VForVendetta the original comic]], but as an altruistic freedom fighter opposed to a tyrannical government is more concretely Chaotic Good in [[Film/VForVendetta the movie]].

* The titular character from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/Aladdin'' definitely qualifies, as despite being a thief, he retains a pure heart and a generous soul, making him a "diamond in the rough". Eventually, with the Genie's help, Aladdin eventually defeats the evil vizier Jafar and becomes affianced to the love of his life, Princess Jasmine.
* Flik from ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' has some serious problems fitting in with the other lawful-leaning ants, is quite spontaneous, and doesn't accord special respect to authority, landing him squarely in Chaotic Good territory.

[[spoiler:He seems to have clawed his way into NeutralGood by the sequel.]] [[LikeFatherLikeSon His son Sam]] in ''Film/TronLegacy'' proves the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, checking in with his dad's company for an annual practical joke (to try and shame them into doing the right thing) and being on a first-name basis with the police officers working the impound lot.
* V in ''V For Vendetta'' is a [[ChaoticNeutral tough call]] in [[ComicBook/VForVendetta the original comic]], but as an altruistic freedom fighter opposed to a tyrannical government is more concretely Chaotic Good in [[Film/VForVendetta the movie]].
