** 007's biggest ArchEnemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the nefarious head of the NebulousEvilOrganization SPECTRE. Part of his EvilPlan often involves [[PlayingBothSides pitting powerful nations into fighting each other]] via elaborate {{Batman Gambit}}s and {{False Flag Operation}}s without them suspecting he was the mastermind. To him, profit is the only thing that matters when he's formulating a scheme. Everything else can burn down to the ground.

*** [[spoiler:His most recent incarnation]] in ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' is arguably worse than his predecessors, as [[spoiler:he committed {{patricide}} out of [[GreenEyedMonster resentment]] for being favored less than an orphaned 007, [[CainAndAbel causing him]] to orchestrate the events of ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'', ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'', and ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'', and continues to torment Bond out of pure sadism]].
** Film/{{Goldfinger}}, with the backing of Red China, intends to cause economic chaos in the West by nuking the American gold supply at Fort Knox. When Bond asks about the projected death toll of Goldfinger's plan (which reaches into the tens of thousands), he simply shrugs and remarks that [[AMillionIsAStatistic "American motorists kill that many every two years"]].
** The BigBad of ''Film/AViewToAKill'', Max Zorin, is one of the worst examples of this in the Bond franchise, as he's willing to corner the microchip market by triggering an earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area, without regards to the millions of deaths he's about to create. He's also a BadBoss, gleefully mowing down his henchmen all without a shred of remorse.
** ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'': RenegadeRussian General Orlov is a corrupt Soviet military official who wants to trigger WorldWarIII and isn't bothered by the fact that his intended bombing of a military base will kill thousands of innocent civilians.

Why should a superior being care about something so insignificant? [[spoiler:Ultimately, this ends up being his FatalFlaw when it keeps him from ever being able to claim the Soul Stone for himself.]]
** ''Film/AntMan1'': Darren Cross does not seem to care at all that he killed a number of his own employees trying to kill Scott, and even less that completely innocent people would likely die as a result of him selling the Yellowjacket to HYDRA.
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'': Even by Kree standards, Ronan is brutal and shows no empathy towards others.
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'': Going hand-in-hand with his narcissistic personality, Ego's regard for lives other than his own is decidedly limited; [[spoiler:he killed thousands of his own children when he realized they couldn't help his goal, he gave Meredith Quill a brain tumour when he realized he cared about her (considering that a weakness)]], and he thinks nothing at all of the countless lives that would be destroyed by his ultimate plan. That he describes the sensation of meeting life other than himself as "disappointing" speaks volumes.
** ''Film/ThorRagnarok'': Hela displays no empathy at all for any other being save her wolf, Fenris. She wants to rule or kill everything that is not her and will not hesitate to kill entire worlds or her own people.
** ''Film/AvengersEndgame'': [[spoiler:Both the past and present versions of Thanos completely fail to truly understand why people don't appreciate his "gift" of killing half of all life (when it consisted of murdering their friends and family and destroying their homes), nor why it didn't result in the universe being prosperous. He interprets these people’s grief and rage towards him as "ungratefulness". [[OmnicidalManiac He doesn't take it well]].]]
** ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'': The BigBad, [[spoiler:Mysterio]], cares nothing for the potential lives that could be lost because of his machinations. On the contrary; he thinks that their deaths will attract more coverage.
* ''Film/TheMechanic1972'': The sociopathy of the two hitman protagonists is shown in various ways. Arthur realizes Steve has what it takes to be his understudy when the latter watches a former girlfriend who's slit her wrists to get his attention bleed over the course of several hours (she lives, but only because they give her the car keys so she can drive herself to the hospital). In another scene when Arthur is at the hospital, he walks past a young boy with an artificial leg without even a sympathetic glance.
* The [[AliensAreBastards Boglodite]], Boris the Animal (and presumably all his other [[PlanetLooters world stripping brethren]]), in ''Film/MenInBlack3'' is definitely this. When he goes back in time to correct the mistakes by aiding his younger self in killing Agent K and preventing the energy shield that would protect the Earth in the present day leading to his entire races' extinction, the first thing he does upon meeting his 1960s self is loudly proclaim him a "pathetic waste of Boglodite flesh" and voices killing him right then and there if he didn't value his own life. In turn, the younger Boris accuses the present one of weakness for being defeated by a human, ''despite planning to do the exact thing that led to his defeat in the first place if not for the older one's intervention''.
* ''Franchise/MonsterVerse'':
** ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': Alan Jonah. This is a man who, in his very first scene attacking and ''massacring'' a Monarch outpost, looks over one scientist who's pleading for surrender and then looks him dead in the eye before shooting him point-blank. To say nothing of how his plan involves engineering the deaths of millions to billions of people around the world at any cost. He gets some extra points in the {{novelization}} for almost-casually threatening his [[spoiler:supposed]] ReluctantMadScientist's daughter more than once when he himself was once a father whose child was tragically murdered in his {{Backstory}}.
** ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'': Walter Simmons, very much. He claims he built Mechagodzilla in the name of MugglePower, but his actions betray his [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist true colors]]. He's responsible for knowingly [[spoiler:continuing to instigate Godzilla's rampages and deliberately making sure Godzilla attacks densely-populated areas]], putting thousands to ''millions'' of innocent people in Godzilla's warpath, and when Madison actually [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calls him out on how his motives don't actually amount to helping ANYONE besides himself]], he isn't fazed in the slightest. Also, if he was made aware before his death that he'd outlived his daughter Maia, he doesn't show any signs of being fazed by that either.
* Lou from ''Film/{{Nightcrawler}}'' does not care one iota about anybody else other than himself, nor does he care what he has to do in order to get the best news footage possible. Naturally, considering that he's a {{sociopath}}.
* Freddy Krueger from ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet''. All he cares about is mutilating and murdering people, whether in real life or in their dreams.
* ''Film/RolloAndTheSpiritOfTheWoods'': The erratic [[AllTrollsAreDifferent rolleys]] like to portray themselves as scary meanies, and they're not good at taking others into account, taking the village of elves as their new home and refusing afterwards to coexist peacefully with them. However, Lackey, the [[EvilChancellor glib adviser]] of the tribe's old chieftain, takes the cake. He's right from the start the most vocal about showing hostility to the elves, and even the other rolleys' feelings don't concern him unless he can somehow [[ManipulativeBastard exploit them]]. He convinces the new chieftain [[TheHero Rolli]] to [[spoiler:wage war on the elves, and when Rolli tries to launch the attack by shooting [[ArrowsOnFire a burning arrow]] into the sea, Lackey doesn't think this is mean enough and intentionally causes the arrow to set the elves' tents ablaze]]. When [[spoiler:Millie's death causes the [[TheNightThatNeverEnds sun to be covered by the moon]]]], Lackey marvels at this while ''everyone else'' is unsettled and dismayed. He plays this even further in the deleted scene in which he [[spoiler:gleefully looks forward to making things worse as his tribe's new chieftain even though everyone else is still unsettled by the permanent darkness, and he mocks Rolli for [[HeroicBSOD mourning]] Millie's death]].
* ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'': After Shaun reluctantly shoots [[spoiler:his zombified mother]], all his friends console him, while [[{{Jerkass}} David]] just says this:
-->'''David:''' Well, I think we all agreed you did the right thing there.
* ''Film/Shazam2019'':
** [[BigBad Doctor Sivana]] doesn't bat an eye when his head researcher gets disintegrated in front of him, only caring that he finally found what he was searching for his entire life. He would follow up on this with a massacre of his father's board members, none of whom have done anything wrong to him.
** The [[BarbaricBully Breyer Brothers]] not only have zero qualms against physically assaulting a disabled kid, but they are perfectly willing to mock said disabled kid for not having a mom.
* In ''Film/SherlockHolmesAGameOfShadows'', Holmes diagnoses Professor Moriarty with "acute narcissism, a complete lack of empathy, and a pronounced inclination toward moral insanity." As usual, he's spot-on.
* Jame (sic) Gumb from ''Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs''. A good example of this is the "It rubs the lotion on its skin" scene; when his victim realizes there are human fingernails embedded in the walls of her cell from failed escape attempts, she starts screaming. He just starts screaming along in sort of a grotesque parody.
* Dr. Rutledge in ''Film/SourceCode'' treats Colter less like a human and more like a machine. His attitude comes off like someone who doesn't believe Colter is even capable of normal human emotion, even though that flies in the face of his own conversations with the man.
* ''Film/SpiderMan3'' has Peter unintentionally do this to Mary Jane as a result of his AcquiredSituationalNarcissism. When she rants to him about her life falling apart, getting bad reviews for her Broadway performance, he claims he knows what she means with a big smile on his face, saying it's just like Spider-Man trying to deal with the pressures of fame. This, naturally, makes Mary Jane feel worse by seemingly trivializing her issues.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** Obi-Wan Kenobi is a heroic example, so much so, that he found Qui-Gon's sidequests to help others than those they were assigned to help, ''annoying''. It also largely contributed to his uneasy Master-Apprentice relationship with Anakin, who was very emotional and rather unstable.
** Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious on the other hand is the villainous incarnate of this trope, with [[TheSociopath everything]] [[ManipulativeBastard that comes]] [[DrunkOnTheDarkSide with it]].
* Ryunosuke in ''Film/TheSwordOfDoom'' rarely concerns himself with the effects his actions have on others. This results in an ever-growing list of people who want him dead.
* Discussed in ''Film/TheThinRedLine'': due to experiencing "combat numbness", people fail to feel anything for the suffering of their fellow men.
* ''Film/TragedyGirls'': The titular Tragedy Girls. Both have none aside from for each other, along with their parents, and will stop at nothing to get what they want. To them, murder is a mere stepping stone to fame.
* Ultraman Belial from ''[[Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends Ultra Galaxy Legends]]'' and [[Film/UltramanZeroTheRevengeOfBelial its sequel]]. It should come as no surprise since he is (''[[CanonDiscontinuity canonically]]'') the first ever, inherently, evil Ultra in the Universe. Not only did he start off by endangering the lives of his home planet (and himself]]) by being a brash power-hungry young warrior, after he got exhiled, [[FallenHero he came back]] enfused by the power of Alien Reiblood AND winding a weapon that has him control an army of monsters to ravage the planet that exiled him, under the belief that they betrayed him and left him to die.
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', while Sebastian Shaw professes to act on behalf of other mutants, he has little (if ''any'') regard for his "colleagues" in the Hellfire Club whom he views as expendable assets for his plot to trigger a nuclear holocaust and [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans seize power over what remains for himself]]. Likewise, he shows no regret whatsoever for his crimes against other mutants such as Erik (aka Magneto) and Darwin.
** Bolivar Trask's main character flaw in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Suffice to say, when someone with such high goals isn't the least bit stirred with BodyHorror and other suffering, [[KnightTemplar there's a bit of a problem]]...
* Creator/JackNicholson's Joker in ''Film/Batman1989'' lacks any empathy. This is especially apparent in the climax when, after Batman [[spoiler:revealed that The Joker [[YouKilledMyFather murdered his parents]], and thus was responsible for creating him]], started to mock Batman's choice of words of explaining this fact, and dares to say "How childish can you get?!" when summing it up.
* ''Film/Beast2017'': Detective Kelly claims this about Pascal when he's a suspect for the serial murders, telling Moll that he doesn't truly love her and is in fact incapable of love. [[spoiler:Pascal ''is'' revealed to be the killer and doesn't seem to feel any remorse for it, even claiming his victims were "nothing", but it's [[AmbiguousSituation a bit more complicated]] as to whether or not he truly felt nothing for Moll]].
* ''Film/BigGame'': Hazar seems completely devoid of empathy whilst being [[FauxAffablyEvil extremely polite]], when he makes a civilian aware he's going to use him for target practice with a missile launcher or when he's captured his "[[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame prey]]" and doesn't care for Morris' horrified reaction to the idea of stuffing the President. Even when Morris complains when it appears they're victorious, Hazar encouraging him to be happy instead of anxious comes off as Hazar getting annoyed at Morris' behavior ruining the atmosphere. [[spoiler:However, given that Hazar was actually a CIA operative loyal to a WellIntentionedExtremist plot the entire time, it's ambiguous just how genuine this is]].
* In ''Film/BladeRunner'', lack of empathy is an InformedAttribute of [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot replicants]]. Blade Runners use an empathy test to separate humans from robots. The replicants we see are quite ruthless and occasionally sadistic, but only toward people they see as enemies. We also see several instances of obvious empathy from Roy Batty, their leader.
* ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'': [[AlphaBitch Tina]] shows no sympathy towards Charlie's grief over her dead father and even has the nerve to ''[[SpeakIllOfTheDead mock]]'' her over it to her face. Of course, [[LaserGuidedKarma this comes to bite her later on]].
-->'''Tina:''' This car is an embarrassment. You should have your dad get you a better one.
* ''Film/ChipNDaleRescueRangers2022'': Sweet Pete couldn't care less about dooming the lives of numerous innocent toons who have done nothing wrong to him.
* ''Film/ACinderellaStory'':
** [[AlphaBitch Shelby]] makes fun of Sam for her SoulSuckingRetailJob as a waitress and remorselessly drives Sam to tears by [[TheFreelanceShameSquad having the entire school chant "diner girl" at her]].
** When [[JerkJock Austin]] finds out that Sam is unpopular and a waitress, he completely rejects her, doesn't care that he cheated on Shelby on the night of the big dance, and never seemed to care about Sam's well-being in the first place.
* ''Film/{{Contracted}}'':
** In the first film, there's Nikki. She's utterly callous toward Sam throughout the film. [[spoiler: After learning Sam had been with a man (it was rape) she's disgusted and dumps her (it's uncertain if she realizes this, but if so doesn't care at all).]]
** In the second film this apparently was BJ's entire reason for spreading the virus. Although he also claims to have KnightTemplar motive.
--->'''BJ:''' A new beginning, an eternal night, wrath like never before cleansing society and all I ever wanted was to feel. To feel anything, pain, love, anger.
* The late Creator/HeathLedger's summation of his role as the Joker in ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', a "psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy."
* In ''Film/{{Downfall}}'', during the battle of Berlin, numerous [[HomeGuard Volkssturm soldiers]] that had been drafted just hours before unknowingly run into the crossfire between the German and Soviet positions. General Mohnke goes to complain that using random civilians with no military training just adds to the body count, and hampers any real combat effectiveness since they just get in the way. Joseph Goebbels, who controls the Volkssturm, says that he won't disband the Volkssturm, and outright says he feels no pity them, and blames them for the situation they're in since they supported the Nazis' rise to power.
* In ''Film/ExMachina'', Nathan's becomes increasingly apparent, and peaks when Caleb discovers videos of his previous creations breaking down and begging to be let out and it becomes clear that he doesn't care about the suffering of others.
* ''Film/GirlInterrupted'': Lisa is in the asylum for this reason. A great example, when Susanna finds Daisy's body, Susanna breaks down, starts crying and flies into a panic, while Lisa goes "Well this is annoying" and searches Daisy's pockets for cash to steal.
* Angel Eyes of ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''. In a movie filled with people who are empathy-impaired, he's unquestionably the worst, lacking all emotions and desires save perhaps, {{Greed}}.
* ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'''s Michael Myers never displays any sort of emotion. This even goes so far as to make him seem impervious to his own pain.
* Pick any of the {{Big Bad}}s in the ''Film/JamesBond'' franchise. They tend to be wealthy but criminally insane, greedy, and sociopathic {{Diabolical Mastermind}}s. [[OmnicidalManiac Some are even willing to kill millions]] ForTheEvulz. Notable examples include:
** 007's biggest ArchEnemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the nefarious head of the NebulousEvilOrganization SPECTRE. Part of his EvilPlan often involves [[PlayingBothSides pitting powerful nations into fighting each other]] via elaborate {{Batman Gambit}}s and {{False Flag Operation}}s without them suspecting he was the mastermind. To him, profit is the only thing that matters when he's formulating a scheme. Everything else can burn down to the ground. If millions are killed, so be it, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday and he'll shrug it off]] as if nothing odd or unusual had happened. Who cares if his minions [[BadBoss die as well?]] His schemes in ''Film/DrNo'', ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'', ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'', ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'', ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' and ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'' reveal the threat he poses.
*** [[spoiler:His most recent incarnation]] in ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' is arguably worse than his predecessors, as [[spoiler:he committed {{patricide}} out of [[GreenEyedMonster resentment]] for being favored less than an orphaned 007, [[CainAndAbel causing him]] to orchestrate the events of ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'', ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'', and ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'', and continues to torment Bond out of pure sadism]].
** Film/{{Goldfinger}}, with the backing of Red China, intends to cause economic chaos in the West by nuking the American gold supply at Fort Knox. When Bond asks about the projected death toll of Goldfinger's plan (which reaches into the tens of thousands), he simply shrugs and remarks that [[AMillionIsAStatistic "American motorists kill that many every two years"]].
** The BigBad of ''Film/AViewToAKill'', Max Zorin, is one of the worst examples of this in the Bond franchise, as he's willing to corner the microchip market by triggering an earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area, without regards to the millions of deaths he's about to create. He's also a BadBoss, gleefully mowing down his henchmen all without a shred of remorse.
** ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'': RenegadeRussian General Orlov is a corrupt Soviet military official who wants to trigger WorldWarIII and isn't bothered by the fact that his intended bombing of a military base will kill thousands of innocent civilians.
** [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Elliot Carver]], the BigBad of ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'', is willing to ignite WorldWarIII just to get broadcasting rights in China and jack up his news network's ratings.
* Iosef from ''Film/JohnWick'' kills the title character's puppy out of spite and shows no remorse for it. Even after his father explains to him that the puppy was a gift from his late wife, he still couldn't care less. When John finally catches up to him, all he could do is tell him that it was no big deal. Of course, this gives him an earnest BoomHeadshot courtesy of John himself.
-->'''Iosef:''' [[ProfaneLastWords It was just a fucking [dog]—!]]
* ''Film/LittleSweetheart'' gives us Thelma, a nine year old girl who will blackmail, stalk, rob, frame or kill you to get her way. She does not care if you are in pain, she does not care if you're having your life ruined, she wants whatever she wants. When her "friend" gets hurt early on, she shows no concern at all. It only gets worse from there.
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' and ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'': Johann Schmidt a.k.a. the Red Skull views other humans as ants. Why should a superior being care about something so insignificant? [[spoiler:Ultimately, this ends up being his FatalFlaw when it keeps him from ever being able to claim the Soul Stone for himself.]]
** ''Film/AntMan1'': Darren Cross does not seem to care at all that he killed a number of his own employees trying to kill Scott, and even less that completely innocent people would likely die as a result of him selling the Yellowjacket to HYDRA.
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'': Even by Kree standards, Ronan is brutal and shows no empathy towards others.
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'': Going hand-in-hand with his narcissistic personality, Ego's regard for lives other than his own is decidedly limited; [[spoiler:he killed thousands of his own children when he realized they couldn't help his goal, he gave Meredith Quill a brain tumour when he realized he cared about her (considering that a weakness)]], and he thinks nothing at all of the countless lives that would be destroyed by his ultimate plan. That he describes the sensation of meeting life other than himself as "disappointing" speaks volumes.
** ''Film/ThorRagnarok'': Hela displays no empathy at all for any other being save her wolf, Fenris. She wants to rule or kill everything that is not her and will not hesitate to kill entire worlds or her own people.
** ''Film/AvengersEndgame'': [[spoiler:Both the past and present versions of Thanos completely fail to truly understand why people don't appreciate his "gift" of killing half of all life (when it consisted of murdering their friends and family and destroying their homes), nor why it didn't result in the universe being prosperous. He interprets these people’s grief and rage towards him as "ungratefulness". [[OmnicidalManiac He doesn't take it well]].]]
** ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'': The BigBad, [[spoiler:Mysterio]], cares nothing for the potential lives that could be lost because of his machinations. On the contrary; he thinks that their deaths will attract more coverage.
* ''Film/TheMechanic1972'': The sociopathy of the two hitman protagonists is shown in various ways.

This is a man who, in his very first scene attacking and ''massacring'' a Monarch outpost, looks over one scientist who's pleading for surrender and then looks him dead in the eye before shooting him point-blank. To say nothing of how his plan involves engineering the deaths of millions to billions of people around the world at any cost. He gets some extra points in the {{novelization}} for almost-casually threatening his [[spoiler:supposed]] ReluctantMadScientist's daughter more than once when he himself was once a father whose child was tragically murdered in his {{Backstory}}.
** ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'': Walter Simmons, very much. He claims he built Mechagodzilla in the name of MugglePower, but his actions betray his [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist true colors]].
