* ''Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon'': The eponymous creature focuses its attention on the female protagonist apparently with sexual undertones. Though notably, everyone the creature ''kills'' is a man.
* Chucky of the ''Film/ChildsPlay'' series is the Stephen King take on this trope: a seemingly inhuman monster (in this case, a SerialKiller doll) that turns out to be ''very'' human in its attitude and appetite. His very first onscreen victim in the first film is a woman he kills for being a "bitch" and he has a very violent (and memorable) misogynistic tirade in response to being threatened by the film's female protagonist. Later movies would only escalate this misogyny, from casually disparaging women drivers in the second film to getting a [[MadLove Joker and Harley Quinn-themed]] relationship in the post-trilogy films. ''Film/CurseOfChucky'' is definitely the worst, as it shows he [[spoiler:developed an obsessive "love" with one particular woman, kidnapped her and held her tied up for days, and then viciously stabbed her when she called the police, rendering the daughter she was pregnant with a paraplegic from birth]].

One would assume, in this age of equal rights and feminism and all, that this would be a DiscreditedTrope or even a DeadHorseTrope. But no, the trope is alive and well.

** The "Lightning Planet" story is the one aversion of this trope in the entire series. Cobra infiltrates a museum staffed entirely by women, but there's no gratuitous slaughter of them by either their own robot dinosaurs or Cobra himself, and no villains are involved to kill them either. Cobra just steals the artifact he's looking for and escapes without any harm happening to the hostess-guards at all.
** The "Care for a Robot?" story involves a bunch of female beekeepers being killed after the bee-like robots they used are hijacked by a murderous A.I. The one woman who Cobra manages to help just gets uncerimoniously crushed by a rock in the following chase scene.
** In the Black Dragon King arc, a sports teacher tells Cobra that her students, who are all young women, went "swimming" outside the spaceship they are on. Cobra then apathetically points to the girls being devoured by space sharks, saying it's too late to do anything about it.
** The Hell Crusaders arc features a race of frog-like aliens that kidnap naked damsels to eat their brains. Then there's the Nazi-like Fuhrer Goldman, who decorates his EvilLair with severed female heads and scantily-clad corpses mounted on the walls because women in that planet have rubies growing out of their heads and he seeks the secret graveyard they are supernaturally drawn to die on. Cobra [[LampshadeHanging even calls it]] the most misogynistic thing ever.
