* The 2021 film ''Gūdǎn Xíngdòng'' (Roughly translated as "Brave One-Man Action", formerly named '''Captain China'' but unrelated to the eponymous comic book) features Zhōngduì (l''it. "[[OneManArmy Squadron]]"''), a Chinese-themed superhero. The story follows him, the first and only successful subject of a super-[[IdolGenre idol]] who [[IdentityAmnesia forgets his origins]] but turns into a popular yet shallow media superhero... At least until the evil [[JapanTakesOverTheWorld Japanese]] [[EvilInc media company]] that created him manages to complete their upgraded product, an army of GasMaskMooks with literal {{Anime}}[=-=]themed superpowers and get rid of him. Thankfully, Effendi (from ''[[https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6861180/ The Tales of Effendi]]'', who is looking for a new Chinese hero [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly since they're becoming forgotten]], saves Zhōngduì from irrelevance and teaches him virtuous morals, [[martial arts]] and gives him a [[SpellBook magic book]] to summon classic Chinese heroes like [[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms Guan Yu]], [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Sun Wukong]], [[Literature/TheReturnOfTheCondorHeroes Yang Guo]], [[Literature/TheSmilingProudWanderer Dongfang Bubai]] or the Animation/CalabashBrothers.

* ''Film/KickAss2'' had Colonel Stars-and-Stripes, a former mob enforcer who had a HeelFaithTurn and joined the titular hero's team of vigilantes as the dependable TeamDad. He dressed in Army fatigues and fought with an [[BatterUp American flag patterned axe handle]] alongside an [[HeroesLoveDogs attack dog]] named [[UsefulNotes/DwightDEisenhower Eisenhower]].
