* The Drones and Warriors from ''Franchise/{{Alien}}''. Absolutely nothing can ever seem to be able to kill off or even hurt a Drone/Warrior at all during the first ''Film/{{Alien}}'' film as Ash describes the Drone as being indestructible and unkillable, but Ripley still manages to get rid of the Drone by sending him right out into the vacuum of space after opening up the airlock of the Narcissus while the Drone manages to survive within the vacuum of space, but Ripley manages to blast him right out into the void with the ship's engines.
* ''Film/TheABCsOfDeath'': In "S", nothing Roxanne does to the hooded man stops him, including torching him with a flamethrower. When he finally catches her, he congratulates on her leading him a better chase than any of his other victims.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainMarvel'' features the title character as a heroic version of one of these. Often times the criminals will fire bullet after bullet at the [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]] hero, while the Captain calmly walks forward with a 'you are SO going to get your asses kicked' smile on his face as the bullets shatter against his body.
* Played for laughs with the random assassin in ''Film/AustinPowersTheSpyWhoShaggedMe'': she survived a knife in the back, a dozen bullets shot in the back, a shot from a bazooka in the face, and a ridiculously high fall out of a window with Austin landing on top of her. A spot of LampshadeHanging occurs when Austin [[WhyWontYouDie cries "Why won't you die?!"]] A deleted scene shows that he keeps her in the trunk of his car to deflect gunfire.
* ''Film/BillyClub2013'': We only see one real example of this in the movie. Billy gets a pickaxe driven into the right side of his chest, and it does absolutely nothing to slow him down. [[spoiler:Though in the end, three baseballs to the face is what does him in.]]
* ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'' are a rare ''heroic'' example of this Trope. Once put on their divine mission to save an orphanage, they're shot at, bombed, and chased by every force imaginable. None of this can do anything more than slow them down.
* In the anthology film ''Film/BodyBags'', the killer in "The Gas Station" segment suffers a lot of abuse by the heroine, but keeps getting up each time to pursue her once again until [[spoiler:he finally gets crushed underneath a car]].
* Realistically played by the main character from ''Film/{{Brick}}''. Takes a few beat-downs but stands up again regardless (though his attempts to be truly implacable fail spectacularly when he swallows too much of his own blood and makes himself sick).
* ''Film/{{Brimstone}}'': The Reverend essentially becomes a slasher villain by the end, murdering anyone in his way and refusing to let injuries slow him down.
* The elite Marshall squad in ''Film/ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid''. Butch eventually comments, "Don't they ever get tired? Don't they ever get hungry?...I wish they'd even speed up, at least it'd be different."
* The Winter Soldier in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', who devastates the fray with a cold demeanor and calculating efficiency and shrugs off blows by anyone that isn't Captain America.
* ''Film/DeathWarrant'': The Sandman seems to be superhumanly durable. He is shot once, but keeps trying to kill Burke. Multiple gunshot wounds are just a temporary inconvenience. He even survives [[InfernalRetaliation being set on fire]].
* Colonel Reza in ''Film/DuckYouSucker''. Over the course of the film he is repeatedly blown up, only to get up and come after Juan and Mallory again and again. It takes having a machinegun emptied into him to put him down for good.
* In ''Film/{{Duel}}'', businessman David Mann is traveling along a desert highway when he is stalked by a mysterious tanker truck, who seems to have no driver.[[note]]The truck was actually driven by Carey Loftin, a legendary Hollywood stunt driver. In the few scenes where a driver can be discerned, Loftin's face is not seen.[[/note]] No matter what Mann does to elude and shake his antagonist, the truck is always on his tail, at times speeding well above the speed limit or at a speed that is reasonably safe or what the car -- a 1970 Plymouth Valiant sedan, presumably with the basic 6-cylinder engine -- can endure, the driver (or the truck-with-a-mind-of-its-own(?) itself) seeming to want to brutally kill him for some unknown reason. In the end, just as Mann's car is about to break down and all hope seems lost, Mann finally is able to stage an accident at the edge of a cliff, and the truck -- which heretofore had seemingly been smarter than Mann -- falls for the trick, plunging over the side to its doom.
* {{Satan}} in ''Film/EndOfDays'' possesses the body of a stock broker, who proves impervious to bullets and other blunt trauma. He's eventually worn down by repeated explosive blasts and being mowed down by a subway train. When he can no longer walk, he simply leaves the broker's body and possesses a new one. In the end, Satan isn't beaten, only outlasted as the New Year rings in, and he's forced to retreat for another 1000 years.
* ''Franchise/{{Frankenstein}}'': FrankensteinsMonster is often stereotyped as this, even though most of the time he's simply wandering aimlessly around or trying to escape pursuit, rather than actively pursuing someone. One of the few actual examples of the Monster being an implacable pursuer is in ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein''.
* Jason Voorhees from the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' movies is nearly impossible to stop, and it's always temporary.
** By the time he was finally KilledOffForReal in the fourth film, ''[[Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter The Final Chapter]]'', by way of a pissed-off Tommy hacking his head and body to pieces with his machete, Jason had survived: drowning in the [[DeathByOriginStory backstory]], a machete to the shoulder in ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPart2 Part 2]]'', and hanging and an axe to the head in ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPartIII Part III]]''.
** The sixth film ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives Jason Lives]]'' made him explicitly supernatural by bringing him back as a RevenantZombie, and after that, every attempt to kill him merely immobilized him. The eighth film, ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan Jason Takes Manhattan]]'', has him boarding a ship and then sinking it with him still aboard, then trudging through the ocean waters to follow the survivors to New York. There, he's finally stopped by getting dissolved in toxic waste, and even that merely de-ages him back to an adolescent boy.
** ''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday'' opens with the FBI, [[GenreSavvy in full anticipation of this]], going to town on him with heavy artillery and blasting him into LudicrousGibs. It doesn't put down his ''soul'' (which survives through DemonicPossession and {{Body Surf}}ing), but it is sufficient to finally destroy his body.
** ''Film/JasonX'' adds a more heroic Implacable Man to the mix with Sgt. Brodski, who seems to repeatedly survive all sorts of damage on [[{{Determinator}} sheer force of will]] alone. As for Jason himself, KM-14 manages to destroy him just like the FBI did in ''Jason Goes to Hell'' (i.e. with MoreDakka), but since this is the future, the technology exists to [[WeCanRebuildHim rebuild him]], and when Jason's body lands on the medical station's bed, he gets revived as the even deadlier {{cyborg}} "Uber-Jason". The ending implies that not even blowing up the spaceship with him aboard and then having him burn up in the atmosphere of Earth II managed to kill him, as we see a pair of teenagers camping on a very familiar-looking lake watch a shooting star and [[CuriosityKilledTheCast decide to go check out where it landed]].
** In ''Film/FreddyVsJason'', Jason proves how implacable he is even during a fight in the dream world. Despite being near-omnipotent in the dream world, Freddy finds himself unable to kill Jason, before discovering his hydrophobia.
** Jason remains true to form in [[Film/FridayThe13th2009 the remake]], surviving a machete to the chest and his head getting shoved into a woodchipper to come back at the end for one last scare.
* The Neo-Vipers from ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' are first shown walking calmly through massed assault rifle fire with all the rounds bouncing harmlessly off. While they are later shown to be susceptible to explosives or a MoeGreeneSpecial, it does make them look intimidating.
* Franchise/{{Godzilla}}, Franchise/KingKong, and other [[{{Kaiju}} similar giant animal monsters]]. Guns? Tanks? Fighter jets? Nuclear weapons? Shrug. You need a seriously plot-specific item to take out one of these guys. Well, Kong was killed pretty easily, by beauty.
* Michael Myers in the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' series.
** In the [[Film/Halloween1978 first film]], he gets his throat slashed, stabbed in the eye with a coat hanger, stabbed in the gut, shot six times, and falls out a second-story window, and still gets right back up.
** [[Film/HalloweenII1981 The second film]] has him take five gunshots to the chest, two more to the eyes which merely impair his vision instead of blowing off his head, and he's at the center of an explosion which, while rendering him unconscious, doesn't kill him.
** [[Film/Halloween4TheReturnOfMichaelMyers The fourth film]] has him at the center of an ambulance crash down a hill, take a shotgun, get run over by a truck, then absorb a barrage of gunfire which knocks him down a mine shaft. As evidenced by [[Film/Halloween5TheRevengeOfMichaelMyers the fifth film]], none of this kills him.
** [[Film/HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers The sixth film]] made his invincibility explicitly supernatural. Apparently, he was cursed by a Celtic pagan cult to murder each and every member of his family, and ''nothing'' will stop him.
** ''Film/HalloweenH20TwentyYearsLater'' was a partial reboot that removed from continuity the last three films and the supernatural explanation for his invincibility in an attempt to [[RevisitingTheRoots get the series back to its roots]], though he's still extraordinarily tough. After getting an axe in the chest, he nonchalantly rips the weapon out and keeps going.
** The only person who ever beat Michael in a hand-to-hand fight, without guns, cars, tranquilizer darts, explosions, or outside interference was Music/BustaRhymes' character Freddie in ''Film/HalloweenResurrection'' -- and not coincidentally, most fans try to pretend that [[FanonDiscontinuity that film never happened]]. Even then, in their first fight, Freddie wraps a cable around Michael's neck and knocks him out a window, but Michael [[TheManTheyCouldntHang does not die and simply cuts himself down]]. In their second fight, when Freddie defeats him by [[PowerCableAttack jamming a live wire into]] [[GroinAttack his crotch]], then leaves him to die in a burning building, he still survives.
** ''Film/Halloween2018'': This reboot also does away with the supernatural explanation and Michael is in his sixties, [[FeelingTheirAge making him slightly weaker]], but he is still implacable. He shrugs off getting hit in the face with a crowbar twice, doesn't slow down after getting shot in the shoulder, and wakes up after getting hit with a car. In the final battle with the Strode family, he gets two of his fingers shot off, is shot in the jaw, and is knocked down a flight of stairs, but he still gets up. He is stabbed in the hand twice, then is only temporarly defeated when he is locked in a panic room and then the whole house is set on fire.
** ''Film/HalloweenKills'': Michael escapes the burning house and continues his rampage. He shrugs off Lindsey hitting him in the face twice with a sack full of bricks, Allyson knifing him several times in the gut, and Karen stabbing him in the back with a pitchfork and then stomping on his head. He is then lured to a angry mob which gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and shoots him several times, but then he gets up and slaughters them all.
** ''Film/HalloweenEnds'':
*** Michael [[DentedIron was weakened by all his past injuries]], enough that a kid named Corey Cunningham is able to steal his mask and [[JackTheRipoff go on a killing spree while pretending to be him]], but Michael follows him and gets his revenge brutally. In his final battle, Laurie [[ImpaledPalm pins his hands to a kitchen counter with knives]] and stabs him in the chest before pinning his legs with a refrigerator, stabbing him in the side, and [[SlashedThroat slitting his throat]]. He ''still'' gets a hand free to strangle her. He finally dies when Allyson saves Laurie by breaking his arm and then they slit his wrist, and he bleeds out. Not taking any chances, they hurl his body into an industrial shredder to [[MakeSureHesDead make sure he doesn't rise again]].
*** Corey is also one. He falls off a building and immediately sits up the same way Michael does. He gets shot in the chest twice and falls down a flight of stairs, but sits up again, before deciding to stab himself in the throat to frame Laurie for his murder. He ''still'' doesn't die, and when Michael shows up, he grabs his arm before Michael finally kills him by breaking his neck.
* The Golden Army of ''Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy''. Even after getting torn apart, they rebuild themselves every time from near-nothing, and they're otherwise a horde of {{Perpetual Motion Monster}}s; the only way to give them pause is [[spoiler:to challenge their controller, which engages a stand-down protocol until the control crown's ownership is resolved]].
* The Hellcop from ''Film/HighwayToHell'' ''will not stop'' until his objective is complete, whether kidnapping Rachel or killing Charlie.
* Mal from ''Film/{{Inception}}'' is a character that suddenly invades dream worlds and attempts to assassinate the dreamer. In a sense she's even worse than her counterpart Agent Smith in ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' movies in that she doesn't need to possess anyone, she just appears and wreaks havoc. What's really scary is that even in constructed dream worlds with trained dream operators, she's nearly impossible to stop.
* ''Film/{{Innerspace}}'': Mr. Igoe will pursue you to get those chips, even if it means [[spoiler: shrinking himself down, and entering your body just to obtain them, and who is only defeated by an ocean of stomach acid]].
* The titular ''It'' in ''Film/ItFollows''. A [[HumanoidAbomination vaguely humanoid]] ''thing'' that hunts down and kills whoever is cursed with it, before moving on to the second most recent cursed person, then the next, then the next, and so on. It takes the form of random people, and nothing can kill it or permanently disable it. More a force of nature than a thinking creature (though ItCanThink when it needs to), it never moves at a pace faster than a slow walk, and no matter how far the person it's chasing runs, they'll always get tired eventually.
* A couple in the ''Film/JakaSembung'' series, an Indonesian series of fantasy martial arts films:
** Kohar from ''Jaka Sembung'' has bulletproof flesh impervious to blades and other weapons, introduced shoving his way through the Dutch soldiers and hired goons with ease to declare himself as the "champion" eager to claim the bounty on Jaka Sembung's head and beating up everyone in his way without any effort.
** In ''Jaka Sembung Dan Bergola Ijo'', the villain Demang Asmara shrugs off every attack thrown at him and rips out a whole tree as a weapon when fighting the resistance. Jaka Sembung tries to hit him in a [[GroinAttack weak spot]]... [[BallsOfSteel guess how that works]].
* ''Film/JamesBond'':
** Jaws from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' and ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' lives through the two movies by sheer force of not stopping ever.
** For that matter, Bond himself. Especially in the Creator/DanielCraig films he gets some truly epic chase scenes.
** Nearly every ''Bond'' movie has had a Dragon who is much tougher and better in a fight than Bond that he only beats through quick thinking. [[DragonTheirFeet And returns to kill Bond after the villain's defeat]].
* ''Film/JeepersCreepers'' features The Creeper who, as Jezelle puts it in the first film, [[spoiler: stops at nothing to hunt down and feed on those it likes the scent of]].
* This is the reason that ''Franchise/JohnWick'' is TheDreaded among those who know his name (practically everyone in the criminal underworld). He's normally a ReluctantWarrior, but press his buttons enough and nothing stops him from killing the one that's responsible...even if it means gunning down a lot of mooks along the way. It's for this reason that even Jimmy, the cop that's pretty civil with him, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere knows not to get in his way as soon as he sees corpses in his house]].
-->'''Viggo Tarasov:''' ''[to his son Iosef]'' John is a man of focus. Commitment. Sheer will. Things you know very little about.
* The Hunter [[GreatWhiteHunter Van Pelt]] from ''Film/{{Jumanji}}'', once summoned from the eponymous board game, stopped at nothing in hunting Alan down. While all of the other board events summoned dangerous creatures and weather phenomena, each of those passed and didn't actively pursue the cast as Van Pelt did. Even upon running out of ammo for his oversized hunting rifle and finding out that it wasn't possible for him to acquire more (as it had long since fallen out of production), he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUv875PH7LA simply purchased new, more modern armaments]] with which to threaten his quarry.
* The ''Indominus rex'' in ''Film/JurassicWorld''. The only weapon that even fazes ''Indominus'' is a near-direct hit from an ''antitank weapon''. [[spoiler:It takes a ''UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex'', a ''Velociraptor'', and a ''Mosasaurus'' ganging up on her to take her down.]]
* In ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'', Harry Hart becomes this at the church congregation [[spoiler:after being driven to mindless rage by Valentine's HatePlague, methodically killing dozens and ignoring several gunshot and stab wounds]].
* The Beast from the film ''Film/KungFuHustle''. Takes being punched through walls and flattened into the ground and still keeps going.
* [[Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray Dorian Gray]], as portrayed in ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen''. In an early scene in the movie, he's seen getting riddled with bullets, which only succeeds in destroying his suit and making him mildly annoyed.
-->'''Terrified {{Mook|s}}:''' ''[[WhatTheHellAreYou What are you!?]]''\\
'''Dorian:''' I'm complicated.
* Mobius Lockhardt, the demonic ghost in ''Film/LeftForDead''. Once he starts pursuing you, nothing will stop him. He is shot, stabbed, bludgeoned, and impaled; all without slowing him down. His only limitations are that he cannot pass beyond the limits of the graves, or enter the church.
* The Ringwraiths from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' (see also Literature).
-->'''Aragorn''': They are the Nazgûl, Ringwraiths, neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the One. ''They will never stop hunting you.''
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** Steve Rogers. His whole thing is that he just will never, ever give up - he even ''temporarily restrains a helicopter mid-take off''. In his own words: "I can do this all day."
** The Winter Soldier will just mow through everything and everyone in his path. When his programming is reactivated in ''Civil War'', unarmed, he goes through Tony Stark (armed only with a small gauntlet), Black Widow, Black Panther, among others.
** Ikaris in ''Film/{{Eternals}}''. In the climax, [[spoiler:every single one of the living Eternals bar Kingo, who's team Switzerland, Sprite, who's team Ikaris, and Sersi, who's busy, has a go at him, alone and together, and he bulldozes his way through ''all of them''. Druig, the mind-controller? Hurled into the bedrock, with a laser blast to finish him (though he just about survives). Thena, the best warrior, who slices a Deviant with the powers of two Eternals? Casual BarehandedBladeBlock and a very one-sided fight. Makkari, a speedster fast enough to criss-cross the entire planet in a couple of minutes, tops, who's also enraged by the aparent murder of Druig? Does her level best to beat him to death at SuperSpeed, dragging ''his face through rock walls at mach speeds'' to ''start''... and gets beaten to a pulp the moment Ikaris lays his hands on her. Phastos, who builds all the super-tech, including stuff immune to Ikaris' eye-beams? Tries to restrain Ikaris, succeeds for a short while while pummelling him, before Ikaris lets out a roar of rage and shrugs the restraints off so hard an actual ''shockwave'' sends Phastos flying. None of them even ''bruise'' him. The only person who stops Ikaris is Sersi, because he can't bear to hurt her.]] You don't stop Ikaris. If you are lucky, you slow him down and perhaps you annoy him. If you are ''very'' lucky, perhaps you survive him.
** Wanda Maximoff once she becomes the Scarlet Witch. In Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness she bulldozes literally everyone who tries to stop her, including [[spoiler:a version of herself from another universe]].
* Agent Smith (and the other Agents) in ''Franchise/TheMatrix''. Not only are Agents ridiculously powerful and ridiculously hard to kill, but if you do manage to kill one, all the Agent needs to do is find another human to possess in order to continue trying to take you down. There's a reason that standard Resistance procedure before Neo came along was to "run your ass off" when an Agent showed up.
* The killer in ''Film/MidnightMovie'' gets shot several times. Justified in that he's just a character from a film brought to life.
* Imhotep from ''Film/TheMummy1999''. Immortal, the only way to actually stop him is to magic him back to mortality and ''then'' kill him.
* Kharis the mummy from ''Film/TheMummysHand'', ''The Mummy's Tomb'', ''The Mummy's Ghost'', and ''The Mummy's Curse'', a series of mummy films Universal made in the 1940s that were vaguely InspiredBy the original 1932 ''Film/TheMummy1932''. He's immortal, ImmuneToBullets, and generally unstoppable, [[KillItWithFire unless he's expose to flames]]. He'd be a terrifying villain if he was capable of moving at any pace other than a slow walk.
* Robert Mitchum's character in ''Film/TheNightOfTheHunter''. "Don't he never sleep?"
* Anton Chigurh from ''Film/NoCountryForOldMen'' definitely counts, although the film handles it more realistically than most. The next-to-final scene proves Anton is definitely killable -- he's just single-minded, completely [[TheUnfettered unfettered]] by any conventional morality, and very good at [[PsychoForHire his job.]] Then again [[spoiler:his car crash at the end shows that he is not completely invincible, and that pure luck might also play a part in keeping him alive]].
* [[HumanoidAbomination The Tall Man]] from the ''Film/{{Phantasm}}'' films. He can make his victims hallucinate that they killed him only to come back to torment them. He's telekinetic and super-strong, so it doesn't matter if someone's close to him or not, he can still get them and cause their weapons to misfire or remove them from their grasp. If parts are cut off of him, those parts will each become miniature monsters that will make the attacker's life hell. If frozen, his head will release an unstoppable golden sentinel sphere. Finally, if someone somehow manages to burn him with fire, acid or blow him up... an identical Tall Man steps out of a dimensional doorway and picks up the corpse of the previous Tall Man, hurls it back through the portal, and then takes over immediately where the previous one left off. ''And'' he is a RealityWarper who can undo his own defeats, and has an ever-growing legion of the undead and alien technology at his command.
* The titular ''Film/{{Pumpkinhead}}'' is this, as it's a monster conjured forth by the rage and grief of the one that summons it, and will stop at ''nothing'' to brutally kill the targets of its conjurer's ire. The only means to stop it prior to completing its task is to [[spoiler: [[CantLiveWithoutYou kill the one that summoned it]]]].
* The film ''Film/ThePunisher2004'' as well as [[VideoGame/ThePunisherTHQ the game]], features The Russian who seems to be almost completely impervious to any kind of pain imaginable (in the game he is even immune to bullets even though he doesn't have any super powers). He is based on the Russian character from the original comics, who is a lot more talkative, but just as supremely strong and relentless; he was only defeated when the Punisher ''suffocated him under his obese neighbor'' and then cut off his head, but he ''still'' came back after having his head reattached and his skeleton augmented with powerful metal alloys (he also received a pair of breasts due to hormone injections, which he took in stride by actually dressing up like a woman on occasions).
* The killer in ''Film/TheRedwoodMassacre'' takes a shotgun blast to the neck at one point and falls to the ground. A couple scenes later, he gets right back up.
* The Repo Men in ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' are hired on the basis of their having this trait, though usually it's displayed in more... subtle ways before they get the job (for example, Nathan's relentless search for Marni's cure.)
* The titular KillerRobot of ''Film/{{ROTOR}}'' will not stop until it executes its suspect.
* Probably the [[SoBadItsGood least potent]] film distillation: Ro-Man, the title character of BMovie ''Film/RobotMonster''. All of our weapons have failed to kill it, and it's wiped out all of humanity, save about seven people. Under some circumstances, such feats would be really scary. However, since Ro-Man is [[SpecialEffectFailure a gorilla in a space helmet]], this isn't one of those circumstances.
* The Film/SyFyChannelOriginalMovie ''Scarecrow'' has the title entity. It literally can't be killed, period. Shooting it, burning it, even being shredded into tiny bits do nothing but slow it down. It will ''always'' regenerate and keep coming. The only way it can be defeated is to [[SealedEvilInACan imprison it somehow.]] And even if you can do that, the moment it gets loose, it'll resume it's hunt as if nothing happened.
* Drug usage seems able to confer apparent-Implacability. A lesser kind of Implacable Man appears in ''Film/Scarface1983'': Tony Montana snorts cocaine and then takes on an army of assailants. Despite being shot numerous times with automatic weapons, he doesn't flinch and kills every one of his would-be assassins. Only a double-barrel shotgun blast delivered from behind at point-blank range is enough to finally take Tony down.
* ''Film/{{Scream}}'', as part of its DeconstructiveParody of SlasherMovie tropes, makes a point to avert this with Ghostface. The series' killers are ''not'' invincible, but only about as dexterious as a normal human being, and given that they're wearing a mask that obscures their vision, they are constantly tripped up by the heroes. When they ''do'' prove to be ImmuneToBullets, [[spoiler:it's because they're wearing a BulletproofVest, and a [[BoomHeadshot headshot]] will still finish the job]].
* The Black Brother in ''Film/{{Shrooms}}''. Absolutely nothing slows him down, and he will vanish from one spot to reappear at another, often just behind his victim. [[spoiler:But, then again, he's not real.]]
* Marv from ''Film/SinCity''. He's so tough he [[spoiler:''taunted his own executioners'' after they gave him his first round on the electric chair.]] He defeated the psychopathic Kevin by [[spoiler:handcuffing them together and taking everything Kevin could dish out [[FragileSpeedster until he could get one good punch in]].]] Throughout the film, he takes an almost superhuman amount of punishment without flinching.
* The Headless Horseman from ''Film/SleepyHollow'' cannot be stopped by any means as he is controlled by the one who owns his skull. The only way to stop him is to return it to him. In fact, this is lampshaded late in the movie.
-->'''Young Masbath:''' ''[after an explosion]'' Is he...?\\
'''Ichabod:''' Dead? That's the problem... he was already dead to begin with...
* Another bulletproof Russian (Uzbekistani) appears in the movie ''Film/{{Snatch}}'', and hilarity ensues. Even when not dodging bullets, he manages to survive being hit directly by a car travelling at high speed with no real injury, then taking almost a full magazine from a desert eagle at the hands of Bullet-Tooth Tony, all while yelling "fuck you!" with each bullet that Tony puts in him. It's heavily implied by his tenacity that he would have survived if the frustrated Tony hadn't used his last bullet for a well-aimed [[BoomHeadShot headshot]].
-->'''Bullet-Tooth Tony:''' ''[interrogating a mook]'' Boris the Blade? As in... [[MeaningfulName Boris the Bullet-Dodger]]?\\
'''Avi:''' Why do they call him the Bullet-Dodger?\\
'''Bullet-Tooth Tony:''' ...because he ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin dodges bullets]]'', Avi.
* ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'' has John Harrison take half a dozen of Kirk's best haymakers to the face without so much as a bruise. In the end, a mildly-annoyed Harrison resorts to snark. Harrison also shrugs off [[spoiler:crashlanding a starship into parts of San Francisco]] and is still conscious after [[spoiler:being stunned about six times in succession with a phaser]]. He even successfully [[spoiler:weathers out a Vulcan nerve pinch]]!
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** Kylo Ren in ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' after taking a bowblast to the gut is able to keep moving. He is able to intercept Finn and Rey and fight them both, albeit separately. Finn gets a hit in with a lightsaber but Ren is able to take him out. When Rey takes up the saber Ren keeps her on the run for most of the fight. Even when the fight shifts in her favor and she gets a couple of hits in he still keeps going. Rey has to destroy his lightsaber and give him another wound for him to finally go down. Even then he appears to want to get up and keep fighting.
** Darth Vader also easily fits into this. IE: What he did to those poor folks on the Blockade Runner in ''Film/RogueOne''.
** General Grievous is shown to be capable of tearing through regular troops with even greater ease than Vader in ''The Clone Wars'', but his greatest show of implacability comes in his sole film appearance, ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. There he engages Obi-Wan in a decently even minute-long lightsaber duel before the latter gets the upper hand. After this, he was two of his arms cut off, is Force-Pushed sixty feet vertically and into a metal ceiling hard enough to leave a crater, falls sixty feet to hit the hard concrete floor, gets hit by stray blaster fire, tumbles out of his vehicle and onto a landing pad after it catastrophically crashes, gets whacked in the face by an electrostaff, has said electrostaff stabbed into his chest, and has his chest plate ripped open by Obi-Wan's Force-enhanced strength. Even after all of this, he still smacks around Obi-Wan and is about to deliver the killing blow before his opponent quickly grabs a blaster and shoots him ''directly in his exposed heart.'' His final action is to make last attempt to inch closer to finish Obi-Wan off immediately after this, prompting Obi-Wan to fire several more shots at his vulnerable organs, finally killing him for good.
* For a non-superpowered or supernatural slasher the titular villain from ''Film/TheStepfather'' films commonly survives things no normal man possibly could -- in the first movie alone he gets shot several times and knifed in the chest, getting only a small scar from the encounter. It takes being [[BloodierAndGorier chewed up and liquefied in a woodchipper]] in the third film to [[DeaderThanDead finally kill him]].
* Perhaps the most potent distillation: the title character of the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' series is a killing machine, as discussed in the page quote.
** The key example occurs near the end of ''Film/TheTerminator'', where Kyle Reese manages to explode the fuel tanker truck that the Terminator is driving to try to destroy it. Immediately afterward, Kyle and Sarah Connor embrace with romantic music playing as they feel the crisis is over. However, the music abruptly changes back to ominous as the Terminator, now stripped to its endoskeleton frame, [[OutOfTheInferno arises from the flames]] to shock both the heroes and the audience that the killer robot '''is still coming'''. Even after Kyle '''blows its legs off''', the damn thing keeps crawling after Sarah with murderous intent, and as it's being crushed in a hydraulic press, it claws at her with its metallic skeletal hand to the very last.
** Taken to further extremes in ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', where the T-1000 gets frozen by liquid nitrogen and breaks into a million pieces...and ''still'' survives to continue pursuing the heroes[[note]]in the special edition, however, it sustained some damage to its shapeshifting ability due to getting frozen[[/note]]; he also manages to continue running at the same speed as a reversing car while being shot repeatedly with a pistol. Moreso with Sarah Connor's attack on Dyson's home, where she all but becomes a Terminator herself and is halfway to shooting a defenseless, wounded man dead in front of his wife and family.
** ''Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines'' takes the trope even ''[[ExaggeratedTrope further]]'' with the T-X, which treats giant electromagnets, rocket launchers and a beating from Arnold Schwarzenegger with nothing more than mild annoyance. When the T-850 hits her with a military helicopter, crushing her underneath it and reducing her to a legless torso, she keeps going in true Terminator fashion. His solution? [[TakingYouWithMe Shove his own power source in her mouth and blow it up]], complete with a PreMortemOneLiner.
** ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'' has the original T-800 chasing relentlessly after John Connor through the [[NoOSHACompliance very factory that is building more of them]]. It is impervious to any kind of damage Connor throws at it [[spoiler:even after having molten steel poured onto it, with said steel cooling off and being broken out of to continue the chase]]. The [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Harvester]] also counts.
* ''Film/UniversalSoldierTheReturn'': Romeo is ordered by S.E.T.H. to capture Deveraux, since only he possesses the code that can avoid the automatic resetting of S.E.T.H.'s memory. Romeo proceeds to get fired at, slammed through walls, set on fire, and run over by a truck, but nothing seems able to stop him permanently. Even when Luc managed to destroy S.E.T.H. and a majority of Uni Sols, Romeo still proved to be impossible to destroy as he managed to pummel down Luc without breaking a sweat. It eventually took the explosion of an entire building to finally bring Romeo down.
-->'''Erin:''' You just flattened him!\\
'''Deveraux:''' That's only gonna slow him down!
* Subverted in ''Film/VForVendetta'': title character V takes a massive barrage of bullets with a comparatively very minimal reaction, has a teensy bit o' trouble breathing just afterward (after ''all'' the bad guys are ''completely out of bullets'')... and then proceeds to completely annihilate everyone and everything, until he gets the BigBad alone, hoists him up in the air and snaps his neck with one twitch. The subversion part comes when he opens his cloak to reveal the medieval breastplate that only "sort of" protected him. [[spoiler:Cue long-winded HeroicSacrifice.]]
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** Sebastian Shaw in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', most notably in the scene where he invades a CIA base to try to recruit the mutants being housed there. Getting repeatedly hit by volleys of machine gun fire doesn't even muss up his suit. He {{No Sell}}s an energy blast that's later shown slicing through the walls of a nuclear fallout shelter like butter. The only thing they can hit him with that even slows him down is a bazooka, and then only because it takes him a couple of seconds to [[EnergyAbsorption absorb the blast]].
** IchirÅ Yashida from ''Film/TheWolverine'', in his Silver Samurai armor.
* The KillerRobot from ''Film/{{Zathura}}'' continuously attempts to kill Walter all while getting himself stuck in a fireplace, blasting himself out of the Budwings' floating house, damaging himself upon reentry into the basement, and finally repairing himself, and once Walter successfully [[HeelFaceTurn reprograms him]], nothing stops the KillerRobot from relentlessly slaughtering the encroaching Zorgons.
%%* The title creature from ''Film/{{Zeiram}}''.
----
* The Drones and Warriors from ''Franchise/{{Alien}}''. Absolutely nothing can ever seem to be able to kill off or even hurt a Drone/Warrior at all during the first ''Film/{{Alien}}'' film as Ash describes the Drone as being indestructible and unkillable, but Ripley still manages to get rid of the Drone by sending him right out into the vacuum of space after opening up the airlock of the Narcissus while the Drone manages to survive within the vacuum of space, but Ripley manages to blast him right out into the void with the ship's engines.
* ''Film/TheABCsOfDeath'': In "S", nothing Roxanne does to the hooded man stops him, including torching him with a flamethrower. When he finally catches her, he congratulates on her leading him a better chase than any of his other victims.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainMarvel'' features the title character as a heroic version of one of these. Often times the criminals will fire bullet after bullet at the [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]] hero, while the Captain calmly walks forward with a 'you are SO going to get your asses kicked' smile on his face as the bullets shatter against his body.
* Played for laughs with the random assassin in ''Film/AustinPowersTheSpyWhoShaggedMe'': she survived a knife in the back, a dozen bullets shot in the back, a shot from a bazooka in the face, and a ridiculously high fall out of a window with Austin landing on top of her. A spot of LampshadeHanging occurs when Austin [[WhyWontYouDie cries "Why won't you die?!"]] A deleted scene shows that he keeps her in the trunk of his car to deflect gunfire.
* ''Film/BillyClub2013'': We only see one real example of this in the movie. Billy gets a pickaxe driven into the right side of his chest, and it does absolutely nothing to slow him down. [[spoiler:Though in the end, three baseballs to the face is what does him in.]]
* ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'' are a rare ''heroic'' example of this Trope. Once put on their divine mission to save an orphanage, they're shot at, bombed, and chased by every force imaginable. None of this can do anything more than slow them down.
* In the anthology film ''Film/BodyBags'', the killer in "The Gas Station" segment suffers a lot of abuse by the heroine, but keeps getting up each time to pursue her once again until [[spoiler:he finally gets crushed underneath a car]].
* Realistically played by the main character from ''Film/{{Brick}}''. Takes a few beat-downs but stands up again regardless (though his attempts to be truly implacable fail spectacularly when he swallows too much of his own blood and makes himself sick).
* ''Film/{{Brimstone}}'': The Reverend essentially becomes a slasher villain by the end, murdering anyone in his way and refusing to let injuries slow him down.
* The elite Marshall squad in ''Film/ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid''. Butch eventually comments, "Don't they ever get tired? Don't they ever get hungry?...I wish they'd even speed up, at least it'd be different."
* The Winter Soldier in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', who devastates the fray with a cold demeanor and calculating efficiency and shrugs off blows by anyone that isn't Captain America.
* ''Film/DeathWarrant'': The Sandman seems to be superhumanly durable. He is shot once, but keeps trying to kill Burke. Multiple gunshot wounds are just a temporary inconvenience. He even survives [[InfernalRetaliation being set on fire]].
* Colonel Reza in ''Film/DuckYouSucker''. Over the course of the film he is repeatedly blown up, only to get up and come after Juan and Mallory again and again. It takes having a machinegun emptied into him to put him down for good.
* In ''Film/{{Duel}}'', businessman David Mann is traveling along a desert highway when he is stalked by a mysterious tanker truck, who seems to have no driver.[[note]]The truck was actually driven by Carey Loftin, a legendary Hollywood stunt driver. In the few scenes where a driver can be discerned, Loftin's face is not seen.[[/note]] No matter what Mann does to elude and shake his antagonist, the truck is always on his tail, at times speeding well above the speed limit or at a speed that is reasonably safe or what the car -- a 1970 Plymouth Valiant sedan, presumably with the basic 6-cylinder engine -- can endure, the driver (or the truck-with-a-mind-of-its-own(?) itself) seeming to want to brutally kill him for some unknown reason. In the end, just as Mann's car is about to break down and all hope seems lost, Mann finally is able to stage an accident at the edge of a cliff, and the truck -- which heretofore had seemingly been smarter than Mann -- falls for the trick, plunging over the side to its doom.
* {{Satan}} in ''Film/EndOfDays'' possesses the body of a stock broker, who proves impervious to bullets and other blunt trauma. He's eventually worn down by repeated explosive blasts and being mowed down by a subway train. When he can no longer walk, he simply leaves the broker's body and possesses a new one. In the end, Satan isn't beaten, only outlasted as the New Year rings in, and he's forced to retreat for another 1000 years.
* ''Franchise/{{Frankenstein}}'': FrankensteinsMonster is often stereotyped as this, even though most of the time he's simply wandering aimlessly around or trying to escape pursuit, rather than actively pursuing someone. One of the few actual examples of the Monster being an implacable pursuer is in ''Film/AbbottAndCostelloMeetFrankenstein''.
* Jason Voorhees from the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' movies is nearly impossible to stop, and it's always temporary.
** By the time he was finally KilledOffForReal in the fourth film, ''[[Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter The Final Chapter]]'', by way of a pissed-off Tommy hacking his head and body to pieces with his machete, Jason had survived: drowning in the [[DeathByOriginStory backstory]], a machete to the shoulder in ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPart2 Part 2]]'', and hanging and an axe to the head in ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPartIII Part III]]''.
** The sixth film ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives Jason Lives]]'' made him explicitly supernatural by bringing him back as a RevenantZombie, and after that, every attempt to kill him merely immobilized him. The eighth film, ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan Jason Takes Manhattan]]'', has him boarding a ship and then sinking it with him still aboard, then trudging through the ocean waters to follow the survivors to New York. There, he's finally stopped by getting dissolved in toxic waste, and even that merely de-ages him back to an adolescent boy.
** ''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday'' opens with the FBI, [[GenreSavvy in full anticipation of this]], going to town on him with heavy artillery and blasting him into LudicrousGibs. It doesn't put down his ''soul'' (which survives through DemonicPossession and {{Body Surf}}ing), but it is sufficient to finally destroy his body.
** ''Film/JasonX'' adds a more heroic Implacable Man to the mix with Sgt. Brodski, who seems to repeatedly survive all sorts of damage on [[{{Determinator}} sheer force of will]] alone. As for Jason himself, KM-14 manages to destroy him just like the FBI did in ''Jason Goes to Hell'' (i.e. with MoreDakka), but since this is the future, the technology exists to [[WeCanRebuildHim rebuild him]], and when Jason's body lands on the medical station's bed, he gets revived as the even deadlier {{cyborg}} "Uber-Jason". The ending implies that not even blowing up the spaceship with him aboard and then having him burn up in the atmosphere of Earth II managed to kill him, as we see a pair of teenagers camping on a very familiar-looking lake watch a shooting star and [[CuriosityKilledTheCast decide to go check out where it landed]].
** In ''Film/FreddyVsJason'', Jason proves how implacable he is even during a fight in the dream world. Despite being near-omnipotent in the dream world, Freddy finds himself unable to kill Jason, before discovering his hydrophobia.
** Jason remains true to form in [[Film/FridayThe13th2009 the remake]], surviving a machete to the chest and his head getting shoved into a woodchipper to come back at the end for one last scare.
* The Neo-Vipers from ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' are first shown walking calmly through massed assault rifle fire with all the rounds bouncing harmlessly off. While they are later shown to be susceptible to explosives or a MoeGreeneSpecial, it does make them look intimidating.
* Franchise/{{Godzilla}}, Franchise/KingKong, and other [[{{Kaiju}} similar giant animal monsters]]. Guns? Tanks? Fighter jets? Nuclear weapons? Shrug. You need a seriously plot-specific item to take out one of these guys. Well, Kong was killed pretty easily, by beauty.
* Michael Myers in the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' series.
** In the [[Film/Halloween1978 first film]], he gets his throat slashed, stabbed in the eye with a coat hanger, stabbed in the gut, shot six times, and falls out a second-story window, and still gets right back up.
** [[Film/HalloweenII1981 The second film]] has him take five gunshots to the chest, two more to the eyes which merely impair his vision instead of blowing off his head, and he's at the center of an explosion which, while rendering him unconscious, doesn't kill him.
** [[Film/Halloween4TheReturnOfMichaelMyers The fourth film]] has him at the center of an ambulance crash down a hill, take a shotgun, get run over by a truck, then absorb a barrage of gunfire which knocks him down a mine shaft. As evidenced by [[Film/Halloween5TheRevengeOfMichaelMyers the fifth film]], none of this kills him.
** [[Film/HalloweenTheCurseOfMichaelMyers The sixth film]] made his invincibility explicitly supernatural. Apparently, he was cursed by a Celtic pagan cult to murder each and every member of his family, and ''nothing'' will stop him.
** ''Film/HalloweenH20TwentyYearsLater'' was a partial reboot that removed from continuity the last three films and the supernatural explanation for his invincibility in an attempt to [[RevisitingTheRoots get the series back to its roots]], though he's still extraordinarily tough. After getting an axe in the chest, he nonchalantly rips the weapon out and keeps going.
** The only person who ever beat Michael in a hand-to-hand fight, without guns, cars, tranquilizer darts, explosions, or outside interference was Music/BustaRhymes' character Freddie in ''Film/HalloweenResurrection'' -- and not coincidentally, most fans try to pretend that [[FanonDiscontinuity that film never happened]]. Even then, in their first fight, Freddie wraps a cable around Michael's neck and knocks him out a window, but Michael [[TheManTheyCouldntHang does not die and simply cuts himself down]]. In their second fight, when Freddie defeats him by [[PowerCableAttack jamming a live wire into]] [[GroinAttack his crotch]], then leaves him to die in a burning building, he still survives.
** ''Film/Halloween2018'': This reboot also does away with the supernatural explanation and Michael is in his sixties, [[FeelingTheirAge making him slightly weaker]], but he is still implacable. He shrugs off getting hit in the face with a crowbar twice, doesn't slow down after getting shot in the shoulder, and wakes up after getting hit with a car. In the final battle with the Strode family, he gets two of his fingers shot off, is shot in the jaw, and is knocked down a flight of stairs, but he still gets up. He is stabbed in the hand twice, then is only temporarly defeated when he is locked in a panic room and then the whole house is set on fire.
** ''Film/HalloweenKills'': Michael escapes the burning house and continues his rampage. He shrugs off Lindsey hitting him in the face twice with a sack full of bricks, Allyson knifing him several times in the gut, and Karen stabbing him in the back with a pitchfork and then stomping on his head. He is then lured to a angry mob which gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and shoots him several times, but then he gets up and slaughters them all.
** ''Film/HalloweenEnds'':
*** Michael [[DentedIron was weakened by all his past injuries]], enough that a kid named Corey Cunningham is able to steal his mask and [[JackTheRipoff go on a killing spree while pretending to be him]], but Michael follows him and gets his revenge brutally. In his final battle, Laurie [[ImpaledPalm pins his hands to a kitchen counter with knives]] and stabs him in the chest before pinning his legs with a refrigerator, stabbing him in the side, and [[SlashedThroat slitting his throat]]. He ''still'' gets a hand free to strangle her. He finally dies when Allyson saves Laurie by breaking his arm and then they slit his wrist, and he bleeds out. Not taking any chances, they hurl his body into an industrial shredder to [[MakeSureHesDead make sure he doesn't rise again]].
*** Corey is also one. He falls off a building and immediately sits up the same way Michael does. He gets shot in the chest twice and falls down a flight of stairs, but sits up again, before deciding to stab himself in the throat to frame Laurie for his murder. He ''still'' doesn't die, and when Michael shows up, he grabs his arm before Michael finally kills him by breaking his neck.
* The Golden Army of ''Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy''. Even after getting torn apart, they rebuild themselves every time from near-nothing, and they're otherwise a horde of {{Perpetual Motion Monster}}s; the only way to give them pause is [[spoiler:to challenge their controller, which engages a stand-down protocol until the control crown's ownership is resolved]].
* The Hellcop from ''Film/HighwayToHell'' ''will not stop'' until his objective is complete, whether kidnapping Rachel or killing Charlie.
* Mal from ''Film/{{Inception}}'' is a character that suddenly invades dream worlds and attempts to assassinate the dreamer. In a sense she's even worse than her counterpart Agent Smith in ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' movies in that she doesn't need to possess anyone, she just appears and wreaks havoc. What's really scary is that even in constructed dream worlds with trained dream operators, she's nearly impossible to stop.
* ''Film/{{Innerspace}}'': Mr. Igoe will pursue you to get those chips, even if it means [[spoiler: shrinking himself down, and entering your body just to obtain them, and who is only defeated by an ocean of stomach acid]].
* The titular ''It'' in ''Film/ItFollows''. A [[HumanoidAbomination vaguely humanoid]] ''thing'' that hunts down and kills whoever is cursed with it, before moving on to the second most recent cursed person, then the next, then the next, and so on. It takes the form of random people, and nothing can kill it or permanently disable it. More a force of nature than a thinking creature (though ItCanThink when it needs to), it never moves at a pace faster than a slow walk, and no matter how far the person it's chasing runs, they'll always get tired eventually.
* A couple in the ''Film/JakaSembung'' series, an Indonesian series of fantasy martial arts films:
** Kohar from ''Jaka Sembung'' has bulletproof flesh impervious to blades and other weapons, introduced shoving his way through the Dutch soldiers and hired goons with ease to declare himself as the "champion" eager to claim the bounty on Jaka Sembung's head and beating up everyone in his way without any effort.
** In ''Jaka Sembung Dan Bergola Ijo'', the villain Demang Asmara shrugs off every attack thrown at him and rips out a whole tree as a weapon when fighting the resistance. Jaka Sembung tries to hit him in a [[GroinAttack weak spot]]... [[BallsOfSteel guess how that works]].
* ''Film/JamesBond'':
** Jaws from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' and ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' lives through the two movies by sheer force of not stopping ever.
** For that matter, Bond himself. Especially in the Creator/DanielCraig films he gets some truly epic chase scenes.
** Nearly every ''Bond'' movie has had a Dragon who is much tougher and better in a fight than Bond that he only beats through quick thinking. [[DragonTheirFeet And returns to kill Bond after the villain's defeat]].
* ''Film/JeepersCreepers'' features The Creeper who, as Jezelle puts it in the first film, [[spoiler: stops at nothing to hunt down and feed on those it likes the scent of]].
* This is the reason that ''Franchise/JohnWick'' is TheDreaded among those who know his name (practically everyone in the criminal underworld). He's normally a ReluctantWarrior, but press his buttons enough and nothing stops him from killing the one that's responsible...even if it means gunning down a lot of mooks along the way. It's for this reason that even Jimmy, the cop that's pretty civil with him, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere knows not to get in his way as soon as he sees corpses in his house]].
-->'''Viggo Tarasov:''' ''[to his son Iosef]'' John is a man of focus. Commitment. Sheer will. Things you know very little about.
* The Hunter [[GreatWhiteHunter Van Pelt]] from ''Film/{{Jumanji}}'', once summoned from the eponymous board game, stopped at nothing in hunting Alan down. While all of the other board events summoned dangerous creatures and weather phenomena, each of those passed and didn't actively pursue the cast as Van Pelt did. Even upon running out of ammo for his oversized hunting rifle and finding out that it wasn't possible for him to acquire more (as it had long since fallen out of production), he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUv875PH7LA simply purchased new, more modern armaments]] with which to threaten his quarry.
* The ''Indominus rex'' in ''Film/JurassicWorld''. The only weapon that even fazes ''Indominus'' is a near-direct hit from an ''antitank weapon''. [[spoiler:It takes a ''UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex'', a ''Velociraptor'', and a ''Mosasaurus'' ganging up on her to take her down.]]
* In ''Film/KingsmanTheSecretService'', Harry Hart becomes this at the church congregation [[spoiler:after being driven to mindless rage by Valentine's HatePlague, methodically killing dozens and ignoring several gunshot and stab wounds]].
* The Beast from the film ''Film/KungFuHustle''. Takes being punched through walls and flattened into the ground and still keeps going.
* [[Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray Dorian Gray]], as portrayed in ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen''. In an early scene in the movie, he's seen getting riddled with bullets, which only succeeds in destroying his suit and making him mildly annoyed.
-->'''Terrified {{Mook|s}}:''' ''[[WhatTheHellAreYou What are you!?]]''\\
'''Dorian:''' I'm complicated.
* Mobius Lockhardt, the demonic ghost in ''Film/LeftForDead''. Once he starts pursuing you, nothing will stop him. He is shot, stabbed, bludgeoned, and impaled; all without slowing him down. His only limitations are that he cannot pass beyond the limits of the graves, or enter the church.
* The Ringwraiths from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' (see also Literature).
-->'''Aragorn''': They are the Nazgûl, Ringwraiths, neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the One. ''They will never stop hunting you.''
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** Steve Rogers. His whole thing is that he just will never, ever give up - he even ''temporarily restrains a helicopter mid-take off''. In his own words: "I can do this all day."
** The Winter Soldier will just mow through everything and everyone in his path. When his programming is reactivated in ''Civil War'', unarmed, he goes through Tony Stark (armed only with a small gauntlet), Black Widow, Black Panther, among others.
** Ikaris in ''Film/{{Eternals}}''. In the climax, [[spoiler:every single one of the living Eternals bar Kingo, who's team Switzerland, Sprite, who's team Ikaris, and Sersi, who's busy, has a go at him, alone and together, and he bulldozes his way through ''all of them''. Druig, the mind-controller? Hurled into the bedrock, with a laser blast to finish him (though he just about survives). Thena, the best warrior, who slices a Deviant with the powers of two Eternals? Casual BarehandedBladeBlock and a very one-sided fight. Makkari, a speedster fast enough to criss-cross the entire planet in a couple of minutes, tops, who's also enraged by the aparent murder of Druig? Does her level best to beat him to death at SuperSpeed, dragging ''his face through rock walls at mach speeds'' to ''start''... and gets beaten to a pulp the moment Ikaris lays his hands on her. Phastos, who builds all the super-tech, including stuff immune to Ikaris' eye-beams? Tries to restrain Ikaris, succeeds for a short while while pummelling him, before Ikaris lets out a roar of rage and shrugs the restraints off so hard an actual ''shockwave'' sends Phastos flying. None of them even ''bruise'' him. The only person who stops Ikaris is Sersi, because he can't bear to hurt her.]] You don't stop Ikaris. If you are lucky, you slow him down and perhaps you annoy him. If you are ''very'' lucky, perhaps you survive him.
** Wanda Maximoff once she becomes the Scarlet Witch. In Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness she bulldozes literally everyone who tries to stop her, including [[spoiler:a version of herself from another universe]].
* Agent Smith (and the other Agents) in ''Franchise/TheMatrix''. Not only are Agents ridiculously powerful and ridiculously hard to kill, but if you do manage to kill one, all the Agent needs to do is find another human to possess in order to continue trying to take you down. There's a reason that standard Resistance procedure before Neo came along was to "run your ass off" when an Agent showed up.
* The killer in ''Film/MidnightMovie'' gets shot several times. Justified in that he's just a character from a film brought to life.
* Imhotep from ''Film/TheMummy1999''. Immortal, the only way to actually stop him is to magic him back to mortality and ''then'' kill him.
* Kharis the mummy from ''Film/TheMummysHand'', ''The Mummy's Tomb'', ''The Mummy's Ghost'', and ''The Mummy's Curse'', a series of mummy films Universal made in the 1940s that were vaguely InspiredBy the original 1932 ''Film/TheMummy1932''. He's immortal, ImmuneToBullets, and generally unstoppable, [[KillItWithFire unless he's expose to flames]]. He'd be a terrifying villain if he was capable of moving at any pace other than a slow walk.
* Robert Mitchum's character in ''Film/TheNightOfTheHunter''. "Don't he never sleep?"
* Anton Chigurh from ''Film/NoCountryForOldMen'' definitely counts, although the film handles it more realistically than most. The next-to-final scene proves Anton is definitely killable -- he's just single-minded, completely [[TheUnfettered unfettered]] by any conventional morality, and very good at [[PsychoForHire his job.]] Then again [[spoiler:his car crash at the end shows that he is not completely invincible, and that pure luck might also play a part in keeping him alive]].
* [[HumanoidAbomination The Tall Man]] from the ''Film/{{Phantasm}}'' films. He can make his victims hallucinate that they killed him only to come back to torment them. He's telekinetic and super-strong, so it doesn't matter if someone's close to him or not, he can still get them and cause their weapons to misfire or remove them from their grasp. If parts are cut off of him, those parts will each become miniature monsters that will make the attacker's life hell. If frozen, his head will release an unstoppable golden sentinel sphere. Finally, if someone somehow manages to burn him with fire, acid or blow him up... an identical Tall Man steps out of a dimensional doorway and picks up the corpse of the previous Tall Man, hurls it back through the portal, and then takes over immediately where the previous one left off. ''And'' he is a RealityWarper who can undo his own defeats, and has an ever-growing legion of the undead and alien technology at his command.
* The titular ''Film/{{Pumpkinhead}}'' is this, as it's a monster conjured forth by the rage and grief of the one that summons it, and will stop at ''nothing'' to brutally kill the targets of its conjurer's ire. The only means to stop it prior to completing its task is to [[spoiler: [[CantLiveWithoutYou kill the one that summoned it]]]].
* The film ''Film/ThePunisher2004'' as well as [[VideoGame/ThePunisherTHQ the game]], features The Russian who seems to be almost completely impervious to any kind of pain imaginable (in the game he is even immune to bullets even though he doesn't have any super powers). He is based on the Russian character from the original comics, who is a lot more talkative, but just as supremely strong and relentless; he was only defeated when the Punisher ''suffocated him under his obese neighbor'' and then cut off his head, but he ''still'' came back after having his head reattached and his skeleton augmented with powerful metal alloys (he also received a pair of breasts due to hormone injections, which he took in stride by actually dressing up like a woman on occasions).
* The killer in ''Film/TheRedwoodMassacre'' takes a shotgun blast to the neck at one point and falls to the ground. A couple scenes later, he gets right back up.
* The Repo Men in ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' are hired on the basis of their having this trait, though usually it's displayed in more... subtle ways before they get the job (for example, Nathan's relentless search for Marni's cure.)
* The titular KillerRobot of ''Film/{{ROTOR}}'' will not stop until it executes its suspect.
* Probably the [[SoBadItsGood least potent]] film distillation: Ro-Man, the title character of BMovie ''Film/RobotMonster''. All of our weapons have failed to kill it, and it's wiped out all of humanity, save about seven people. Under some circumstances, such feats would be really scary. However, since Ro-Man is [[SpecialEffectFailure a gorilla in a space helmet]], this isn't one of those circumstances.
* The Film/SyFyChannelOriginalMovie ''Scarecrow'' has the title entity. It literally can't be killed, period. Shooting it, burning it, even being shredded into tiny bits do nothing but slow it down. It will ''always'' regenerate and keep coming. The only way it can be defeated is to [[SealedEvilInACan imprison it somehow.]] And even if you can do that, the moment it gets loose, it'll resume it's hunt as if nothing happened.
* Drug usage seems able to confer apparent-Implacability. A lesser kind of Implacable Man appears in ''Film/Scarface1983'': Tony Montana snorts cocaine and then takes on an army of assailants. Despite being shot numerous times with automatic weapons, he doesn't flinch and kills every one of his would-be assassins. Only a double-barrel shotgun blast delivered from behind at point-blank range is enough to finally take Tony down.
* ''Film/{{Scream}}'', as part of its DeconstructiveParody of SlasherMovie tropes, makes a point to avert this with Ghostface. The series' killers are ''not'' invincible, but only about as dexterious as a normal human being, and given that they're wearing a mask that obscures their vision, they are constantly tripped up by the heroes. When they ''do'' prove to be ImmuneToBullets, [[spoiler:it's because they're wearing a BulletproofVest, and a [[BoomHeadshot headshot]] will still finish the job]].
* The Black Brother in ''Film/{{Shrooms}}''. Absolutely nothing slows him down, and he will vanish from one spot to reappear at another, often just behind his victim. [[spoiler:But, then again, he's not real.]]
* Marv from ''Film/SinCity''. He's so tough he [[spoiler:''taunted his own executioners'' after they gave him his first round on the electric chair.]] He defeated the psychopathic Kevin by [[spoiler:handcuffing them together and taking everything Kevin could dish out [[FragileSpeedster until he could get one good punch in]].]] Throughout the film, he takes an almost superhuman amount of punishment without flinching.
* The Headless Horseman from ''Film/SleepyHollow'' cannot be stopped by any means as he is controlled by the one who owns his skull. The only way to stop him is to return it to him. In fact, this is lampshaded late in the movie.
-->'''Young Masbath:''' ''[after an explosion]'' Is he...?\\
'''Ichabod:''' Dead? That's the problem... he was already dead to begin with...
* Another bulletproof Russian (Uzbekistani) appears in the movie ''Film/{{Snatch}}'', and hilarity ensues. Even when not dodging bullets, he manages to survive being hit directly by a car travelling at high speed with no real injury, then taking almost a full magazine from a desert eagle at the hands of Bullet-Tooth Tony, all while yelling "fuck you!" with each bullet that Tony puts in him. It's heavily implied by his tenacity that he would have survived if the frustrated Tony hadn't used his last bullet for a well-aimed [[BoomHeadShot headshot]].
-->'''Bullet-Tooth Tony:''' ''[interrogating a mook]'' Boris the Blade? As in... [[MeaningfulName Boris the Bullet-Dodger]]?\\
'''Avi:''' Why do they call him the Bullet-Dodger?\\
'''Bullet-Tooth Tony:''' ...because he ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin dodges bullets]]'', Avi.
* ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'' has John Harrison take half a dozen of Kirk's best haymakers to the face without so much as a bruise. In the end, a mildly-annoyed Harrison resorts to snark. Harrison also shrugs off [[spoiler:crashlanding a starship into parts of San Francisco]] and is still conscious after [[spoiler:being stunned about six times in succession with a phaser]]. He even successfully [[spoiler:weathers out a Vulcan nerve pinch]]!
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** Kylo Ren in ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' after taking a bowblast to the gut is able to keep moving. He is able to intercept Finn and Rey and fight them both, albeit separately. Finn gets a hit in with a lightsaber but Ren is able to take him out. When Rey takes up the saber Ren keeps her on the run for most of the fight. Even when the fight shifts in her favor and she gets a couple of hits in he still keeps going. Rey has to destroy his lightsaber and give him another wound for him to finally go down. Even then he appears to want to get up and keep fighting.
** Darth Vader also easily fits into this. IE: What he did to those poor folks on the Blockade Runner in ''Film/RogueOne''.
** General Grievous is shown to be capable of tearing through regular troops with even greater ease than Vader in ''The Clone Wars'', but his greatest show of implacability comes in his sole film appearance, ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. There he engages Obi-Wan in a decently even minute-long lightsaber duel before the latter gets the upper hand. After this, he was two of his arms cut off, is Force-Pushed sixty feet vertically and into a metal ceiling hard enough to leave a crater, falls sixty feet to hit the hard concrete floor, gets hit by stray blaster fire, tumbles out of his vehicle and onto a landing pad after it catastrophically crashes, gets whacked in the face by an electrostaff, has said electrostaff stabbed into his chest, and has his chest plate ripped open by Obi-Wan's Force-enhanced strength. Even after all of this, he still smacks around Obi-Wan and is about to deliver the killing blow before his opponent quickly grabs a blaster and shoots him ''directly in his exposed heart.'' His final action is to make last attempt to inch closer to finish Obi-Wan off immediately after this, prompting Obi-Wan to fire several more shots at his vulnerable organs, finally killing him for good.
* For a non-superpowered or supernatural slasher the titular villain from ''Film/TheStepfather'' films commonly survives things no normal man possibly could -- in the first movie alone he gets shot several times and knifed in the chest, getting only a small scar from the encounter. It takes being [[BloodierAndGorier chewed up and liquefied in a woodchipper]] in the third film to [[DeaderThanDead finally kill him]].
* Perhaps the most potent distillation: the title character of the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' series is a killing machine, as discussed in the page quote.
** The key example occurs near the end of ''Film/TheTerminator'', where Kyle Reese manages to explode the fuel tanker truck that the Terminator is driving to try to destroy it. Immediately afterward, Kyle and Sarah Connor embrace with romantic music playing as they feel the crisis is over. However, the music abruptly changes back to ominous as the Terminator, now stripped to its endoskeleton frame, [[OutOfTheInferno arises from the flames]] to shock both the heroes and the audience that the killer robot '''is still coming'''. Even after Kyle '''blows its legs off''', the damn thing keeps crawling after Sarah with murderous intent, and as it's being crushed in a hydraulic press, it claws at her with its metallic skeletal hand to the very last.
** Taken to further extremes in ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', where the T-1000 gets frozen by liquid nitrogen and breaks into a million pieces...and ''still'' survives to continue pursuing the heroes[[note]]in the special edition, however, it sustained some damage to its shapeshifting ability due to getting frozen[[/note]]; he also manages to continue running at the same speed as a reversing car while being shot repeatedly with a pistol. Moreso with Sarah Connor's attack on Dyson's home, where she all but becomes a Terminator herself and is halfway to shooting a defenseless, wounded man dead in front of his wife and family.
** ''Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines'' takes the trope even ''[[ExaggeratedTrope further]]'' with the T-X, which treats giant electromagnets, rocket launchers and a beating from Arnold Schwarzenegger with nothing more than mild annoyance. When the T-850 hits her with a military helicopter, crushing her underneath it and reducing her to a legless torso, she keeps going in true Terminator fashion. His solution? [[TakingYouWithMe Shove his own power source in her mouth and blow it up]], complete with a PreMortemOneLiner.
** ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'' has the original T-800 chasing relentlessly after John Connor through the [[NoOSHACompliance very factory that is building more of them]]. It is impervious to any kind of damage Connor throws at it [[spoiler:even after having molten steel poured onto it, with said steel cooling off and being broken out of to continue the chase]]. The [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Harvester]] also counts.
* ''Film/UniversalSoldierTheReturn'': Romeo is ordered by S.E.T.H. to capture Deveraux, since only he possesses the code that can avoid the automatic resetting of S.E.T.H.'s memory. Romeo proceeds to get fired at, slammed through walls, set on fire, and run over by a truck, but nothing seems able to stop him permanently. Even when Luc managed to destroy S.E.T.H. and a majority of Uni Sols, Romeo still proved to be impossible to destroy as he managed to pummel down Luc without breaking a sweat. It eventually took the explosion of an entire building to finally bring Romeo down.
-->'''Erin:''' You just flattened him!\\
'''Deveraux:''' That's only gonna slow him down!
* Subverted in ''Film/VForVendetta'': title character V takes a massive barrage of bullets with a comparatively very minimal reaction, has a teensy bit o' trouble breathing just afterward (after ''all'' the bad guys are ''completely out of bullets'')... and then proceeds to completely annihilate everyone and everything, until he gets the BigBad alone, hoists him up in the air and snaps his neck with one twitch. The subversion part comes when he opens his cloak to reveal the medieval breastplate that only "sort of" protected him. [[spoiler:Cue long-winded HeroicSacrifice.]]
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** Sebastian Shaw in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', most notably in the scene where he invades a CIA base to try to recruit the mutants being housed there. Getting repeatedly hit by volleys of machine gun fire doesn't even muss up his suit. He {{No Sell}}s an energy blast that's later shown slicing through the walls of a nuclear fallout shelter like butter. The only thing they can hit him with that even slows him down is a bazooka, and then only because it takes him a couple of seconds to [[EnergyAbsorption absorb the blast]].
** IchirÅ Yashida from ''Film/TheWolverine'', in his Silver Samurai armor.
* The KillerRobot from ''Film/{{Zathura}}'' continuously attempts to kill Walter all while getting himself stuck in a fireplace, blasting himself out of the Budwings' floating house, damaging himself upon reentry into the basement, and finally repairing himself, and once Walter successfully [[HeelFaceTurn reprograms him]], nothing stops the KillerRobot from relentlessly slaughtering the encroaching Zorgons.
%%* The title creature from ''Film/{{Zeiram}}''.
