* In ''Film/FreeGuy'', [[EvilKnockoff DUDE]] is uploaded into Free City as [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Antwan]]'s last-ditch gambit to stop [[InstantAIJustAddWater Guy]] from exposing a theft of his. He has a bodybuilder's physique and can toss Guy around like a ragdoll, but [[ObviousBeta his AI is only half-finished]] and his [[MadLibsDialogue placeholder-riven mud-pie-sentence speak]] is like that of an AI-powered story generator, like Chapter 34 of ''Literature/AtlantaNights''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'': After receiving Metro Man's powers by Megamind, Hal Stewart becomes a muscular stud who is nonetheless a complete idiot who believes [[PaperThinDisguise Space Step-Mom]] was real and [[EskimosArentReal the Queen of England]] ''[[EskimosArentReal isn't]]'' [[EskimosArentReal real]].

* Also from Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'': No one exemplifies this trope like Gaston! He's decent at manipulating people, but besides that, he's brutish, illiterate, and uncultured -- [[SchoolIsForLosers and proud of it.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/CatwomanHunted'': After La Dama summons a couple of demons, Batwoman gags her with a sticky bomb and "interprets" her muffled outcries as La Dama telling them that their service is complete and they should go home. They're stupid enough (and/or lazy enough) to do just that.

* Hal Stewart from ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' becomes muscular after receiving Metro Man's powers by Megamind, but he's nevertheless still a complete idiot who believes [[PaperThinDisguise Space Step-Mom]] was real and [[EskimosArentReal the Queen of England]] ''[[EskimosArentReal isn't]]'' [[EskimosArentReal real]].

* Kronk from ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove''. However, he ''is'' an [[GeniusDitz excellent chef]], and he does occasionally bring out closer to Earth insight. WordOfGod says he's not stupid, he's just [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} not always focused on the same thing everyone else is at the time.]]

* In ''Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld'', Lennie Pike and Sylvester both qualify.

* Michael "Lurch" Armstrong in ''Film/HotFuzz''. Body of a gorilla, mind of a child, Lurch is also a subversion because while he's ''dumb'', that doesn't mean he's innocent; When Nicholas asks him if he really wants to be part of the evil Sandford conspiracy, he replies with his typical "Yarp." "Suit yourself," says Nicholas, and the fight resumes. His dim mind is due to his dad being his grandad and his mom being his sister.

* ''Film/MadMaxBeyondThunderdome'': Blaster, the lower half of [=MasterBlaster=] "has the mind of a child" and relies on his dwarf ShoulderTeammate Master to do his thinking for him.
* Fezzik from ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' is a good example of this. It ought to be noted, though, that most of this reputation is based on the word of Vizzini, who has an overdeveloped sense of his ''own'' mental superiority. In truth, Fezzik has a number of moments of profound insight, along with a gift for rhyme. [[RhymesOnADime Some of the time]].[[note]]Being able to consistently pull off such wordplay on demand and without preparation, ''and'' without the aid of a thesaurus, requires a great deal of intelligence.[[/note]]
* Sloth in ''Film/TheGoonies'' is a hulking simpleton. It seems that he was dropped as a baby.

* ''Film/{{Bedazzled 2000}}'' capitalizes the undermentioned basketball player stereotype when the main hero gets turned into one. He can barely put two words together and those tend to revolve around "pushing yourself to 100%...for victory".

* Charlie tries to be this in ''Film/MysteryTeam''. He just fails at the muscle part
* ''Film/Gremlins2TheNewBatch'': Lenny the dopey gremlin, is larger and dimmer than the rest, obviously inspired by Lenny from ''Literature/OfMiceAndMen''.

* Karl in ''Film/SlingBlade'' is a mentally handicapped man who is noted by his employers as being surprisingly strong.
* In ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary'', Mary's mentally handicapped brother Warren can toss people around like rag dolls.

* ''Film/StreetFighter'': In the film adaptation, Zangief is portrayed as a misguided muscle-man, who's non too bright. [[IgnorantMinion He wasn't aware that he was working for the bad guys]], until [[PunchClockVillain Dee Jay]] told him, and thought he could stop a truck that was speeding towards them [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYW5rmQgGXE by changing the channel!]]

* James Ganddolfini is 'Bear' in ''Film/GetShorty'', a former stunt man who works as muscle but who is revealed to be fairly clever later on.
* In ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze'', Shredder decides to make his own mutants to fight the Turtles. The result is Tokka and Rahzar, a mutant snapping turtle and wolf. But while the two are immensely strong, they both possess an infantile mentality, and simply overwhelm the Turtles through pure brute force. Prof. Perry later explains that he altered the mutagen used so that Tokka and Rahzar would come out less intelligent than they would have been otherwise.

* Bane in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' is a dumb, hulk-speaking, simpleton that can only follow orders. He's a SuperSoldier powered by [[SuperSerum chemicals]], though, so whatever. That's just the version Joel Schumacher used, though. He's actually a GeniusBruiser in the comics.

* Kronk from ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove''. However, he ''is'' an [[GeniusDitz excellent chef]], and he does occasionally bring out closer to Earth insight. WordOfGod says he's not stupid, he's just [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} not always focused on the same thing everyone else is at the time]].
