History Main / OutlawCouple

* Light and Misa from ''Manga/DeathNote''. In something of a subversion, Light tricks Misa into believing they are in a Bonnie and Clyde relationship, when in fact he has no feelings for her and would kill her without a second thought if she [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Outlived Her Usefulness]]. Misa at least claims to be aware of this from the start, outright stating that she won't mind being used and cast aside if it helps Light's ultimate goal. Emotionally, however, it doesn't seem that she ever accepts that possibility, always trying to get Light to respond to her feelings. There's also the line from her when they first meet, the wording of which boils down to 'If you even think about betraying me I'll sick my pet grim reaper on you'. Her 'feelings' are really more just precisely focused crazy towards the man she sees as God than any real romantic love. But YMMV on this one.

* ''Anime/DeadLeaves'' - Retro and Pandy wake up together naked and without any memories. The first thing they do is go on a city-wide robbery spree, with extra violence thrown in ForTheEvulz, culminating in a high-speed chase and shootout with cops, and their subsequent incarceration on the moon. That's just within the first 10 minutes of the OVA.
* Pandy and Retro become a couple in ''Anime/DeadLeaves'', beginning as two naked people with amnesia that just ''decide'' to go on a massive crime spree.
* Light and Misa from ''Manga/DeathNote'' - in something of a subversion, Light tricks Misa into believing they are in a Bonnie and Clyde relationship, when in fact he has no feelings for her and would kill her without a second thought if she [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Outlived Her Usefulness]]. Misa at least claims to be aware of this from the start, outright stating that she won't mind being used and cast aside if it helps Light's ultimate goal. Emotionally, however, it doesn't seem that she ever accepts that possibility, always trying to get Light to respond to her feelings. There's also the line from her when they first meet, the wording of which boils down to 'If you even think about betraying me I'll sick my pet grim reaper on you'. Her 'feelings' are really more just precisely focused crazy towards the man she sees as God than any real romantic love. But YMMV on this one.

* A young couple in an early episode of ''Anime/GunXSword'' tries... and fails extravagantly... to be this. They seem to be a direct reference to Pumpkin and Honey Bunny, referenced somewhere below.
** At least in the dub, their real names are Bunny and Klatt, which suggest that they may also be a shout-out to the original Bonny and Clyde.

* The two teenage vampires at the beginning of ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' - they even make reference to themselves as "Bonny and Clyde on the highway" in the bloody graffiti they leave on the walls.
* ''Characters/LupinIII'' and Fujiko seem to have this type of relation, sometimes. Their relationship is really an on-and-off romance because the manga's portrayal of several women as Fujiko retroactively gave her ChronicBackstabbingDisorder.

* Clyde Barrow himself shows up in ''Manga/MeAndTheDevilBlues'' as the AxeCrazy [[TheLancer Lancer]] to legendary blues musician Robert Johnson. Bonnie shows up in a FlashForward and serves to show Clyde's HiddenHeartOfGold.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Possibly Jessie and James of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''. Creator/TakeshiShudo did call Bonnie and Clyde an inspiration and they do have the occasional ShipTease. Depending on whom you ask, they're either this trope and haven't yet gotten around to admitting their feeling for each other or extremely close friends.

* In an episode of ''Anime/TenchiUniverse'', two teens steal Kiyone's ship in an attempt to become this. Too bad for them, the ship's rightful owners are on the galaxy's Most Wanted List...
** In the final episode of the first season, Ryoko tries to become this with Tenchi via kidnapping him in an effort to get him to be a bank robber with her(and thus not face Kagato in battle). Tenchi, however, manages to talk her out of it.

* ''Comicbook/{{Batman}}'':

* Punch and Jewelee, two [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] ComicBook/CaptainAtom villains who later became recurring members of the Comicbook/SuicideSquad.
* The ''Comicbook/{{Catwoman}}'' "Comicbook/LegendsOfTheDeadEarth" annual had a FutureImperfect account of Selina's story in which she and Bruce were an Outlaw Couple.

* The protagonists of Creator/GrantMorrison's graphic novella ''Comicbook/KillYourBoyfriend''. That said, theirs was the most aimless crime spree imaginable.

* The indie comic ''Comicbook/SexCriminals'' is about a pair of bank robbers who accomplish their thievery by [[TimeStandsStill freezing time]] - a superpower that only activates when they orgasm, which kind of necessitates this type of relationship.

* The enemies of Comicbook/SpiderMan Aura and Override are super-powered versions of this.
%% * The young couple that appears in ''Comicbook/SuperboyNew52'' issue 3.
* In '90s ''Comicbook/{{Superman}}'', when superpowered clones with the memories of the original 1930s Intergang took over the present-day version, Ginny "[[PlayingWithFire Torcher]]" [=McGee=] and Mike "[[ArmCannon Machine" Gunn]] were portrayed as this, both in the old days and currently. (The original "Machine" Gunn briefly appeared as an old man, who said he was [[ExactWords expecting to join his late wife soon]].)
* In ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'', Comicbook/{{Gambit}} and Comicbook/{{Rogue}} do this for a while... [[spoiler:at least until the Juggernaut, Rogue's former teammate, comes after them in one of his {{Unstoppable Rage}}s because he was apparently in love with Rogue too. Poor, poor Gambit ends up crushed under a building... and to add insult to injury, his last request is for Rogue to absorb his powers (and his life) with a kiss, since she is literally BlessedWithSuck.]]

* In ''Film/SixtyEightKill'', Chip goes along with his girlfriend Liza's plan to steal $68,000 from her sugar daddy Ken so they can a start new life. However, the pair become an outlaw couple when Liza murders Ken and his wife. The 'couple' is soon strained as Chip begins to realise exactly how AxeCrazy Liza really is.

* Another lesbian version is ''Film/{{Bound 1996}}'', which features a female ex-con hooking up with a gangster's girlfriend.

* An episode of ''{{Series/Cracker}}'' had a boyfriend and girlfriend who committed crimes together and the girlfriend compared them to Bonnie and Clyde.

* Ray Stussy and Nikki Swango from [[Series/FargoSeasonThree season 3 of]] ''Series/{{Fargo}} '' have shades of this. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, they don’t get to go “on the run” together like most outlaw couples due to Ray’s death in episode 6.]]
* In ''Series/{{Firefly}}''

* A series 8 episode of ''Series/{{Spooks}}'' introduced terrorists Finn Lambert and Nina Gevitsky. They seem genuinely in love, sharing a passionate kiss and embrace; Nina also appears to be his MoralityPet. [[spoiler:She has a HeelFaceTurn in the end and survives the episode, but he doesn't.]]

'''Dean''': Well, that part's true...

** While not a duet, the {{Music/Aaliyah}} song "More Than a Woman," which does reference Bonnie and Clyde directly, falls into this category as well.

** The cover of the song by Music/JayZ and {{Music/Beyonce}}, on the other hand, plays this trope straight (including the video).

* Subverted by Richard Thompson's "Shane and Dixie" - the titular couple are a wannabe Bonnie and Clyde, but when their petty crimes fail to gain them the fame he craves, Shane decides that they can be famous in death and decides to stage a murder/suicide at the scene of their latest crime. [[spoiler: He dies and is soon forgotten, she survives and marries the newspaperman who comes to cover the incident.]]

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' fans call [[BeastMan Fran]] and [[GentlemanThief Balthier]] "[[IncrediblyLamePun Bunny]] and Clyde," due to Fran's race, the Viera, who are basically [[PlayboyBunny people with bunny ears]]. They're both {{Sky Pirate}}s, thieving around and not really caring for anything of a higher moral value.
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', the AntiHero Gaius returns to his LovableRogue ways in all of his endings. Some of his prospect wives join in his adventures, some don't; the ones who do so more openly are the ProudWarriorRaceGirl Panne, the BadassAdorable Nowi, the Princess Lissa, and ''especially'' the LadyOfBlackMagic Tharja.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

** Comicbook/TheJoker and Comicbook/HarleyQuinn.

* ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'': More than 30 years after when the pairing was first introduced, [[spoiler:Harley and Ivy finally become a couple on screen as they go on the run from Commisioner Gordon, complete with BigDamnKiss.]]

-->'''Ring-A-Ding''': Aw gee, Clyde. Do we gotta?\\

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnie_and_Clyde Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow]] of historical and cinematic fame are arguably the most iconic and most referenced {{Trope Codifier}}s, to the point that they were previously the {{Trope Namer}}s. Throughout fiction, Bonnie and Clyde tend to be subjected to a HistoricalHeroUpgrade, something that's helped by photos found of the two goofing around, as seen on the linked Wikipedia page. In reality, the public eventually grew to dislike them due to their deliberate murder of [[CopKiller police officers]] and {{innocent bystander}}s. This is in contrast to straightforward bandits like John Dillinger, who weren't interested in unprovoked bloodshed and thus ''were'' lionized as cool outlaws at the time. Attempts by law enforcement to confront the two had resulted in them escaping and often killing multiple officers in the process, hence why their deaths at the hands of a shoot-to-kill ambush posse was [[CombatPragmatist deemed necessary]]. Given that kind of motivation, law enforcement types do ''not'' fool around. Finally, unlike the otherwise-prophetic poem quoted above, they were ''not'' buried side-by-side -- Bonnie's mother insisted on this, quoted as saying something to the effect of, "He had her in life, but he won't have her in death."

* Canadian tropers will remember [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bernardo Paul Bernardo]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karla_Homolka Karla Homolka]], much as they'd rather forget them. They raped and murdered three teenage girls in the early '90s, Leslie Mahaffy, Kristen French, and Karla's own sister Tammy, and while Paul got life in prison, Karla managed a sentence of just [[KarmaHoudini twelve years]] by telling police that Paul had abused her and forced her to go along with his killing spree. By the time that videotapes surfaced revealing that she had in fact been an active participant, it was already too late to sentence her again.

* Alton Coleman and Debra Brown, who killed eight people during a summer 1984 crime spree that spanned six U.S. states. Alton was executed by lethal injection; Debra sits in prison today, serving a life sentence without parole.

* A mother and son version: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sante_Kimes Sante and Kenny Kimes.]] Even worse, while it was vehemently denied by both of them, the body language and dialogue observed by others indicate that the "[[ParentalIncest lovers]]" label can apply to them too.

* The indie comic ''Comicbook/SexCriminals'' is about a pair of bank robbers who accomplish their thievery by [[TimeStandStill freezing time]] - a superpower that only activates when they orgasm, which kind of necessitates this type of relationship.

** Potentially, [[HelloInsertNameHere The Player Character]] and Viconia.

* The [[Webvideo/{{h3h3productions}} h3h3 DLC]] for ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2'' turns Youtube vloggers Ethan and Hila Klein into bank robbers, with their shared perk deck being titled "Tag Team" and is focused on buffing other players.

* In the ending of ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'', [[spoiler: Ron and Desiree]] are implied to become this. Case 3 of ''[[VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth Investigations 2]]'' confirms it, as they can be seen plotting a heist.

-->--'''Bonnie Parker''', ''Film/BonnieAndClyde''

* The [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment robbers and thieves]] Isaac and Miria from ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' Probably the [[AllLovingHero nicest]] ''and'' the [[TheDitz dumbest]] Outlaw Couple you'll ever find.

* In ''Film/{{Infamous}}'', Arielle and Dean are two young lovers robbing their way across the southland, posting their exploits to social media and gaining fame and followers as a result.

* ''Series/{{Lost}}'':
** Kate and Sawyer, pretty much.
** Also Sawyer and Cassidy.

* In Franchise/TheDCU, the parents of the supervillain Prometheus were like this.

* The ''Comicbook/{{Catwoman}}'' "Legends of the Dead Earth" annual had a FutureImperfect account of Selina's story in which she and Bruce were an Outlaw Couple.

* Isabelle "Belle" Gold and Kevin "Beau" Navarro in ''Comicbook/{{Batman}}: Urban Legends'' #18 are a couple of non-violent criminals who specialise in StealingFromThieves, specifically Gotham's most powerful crime families and costumed crooks. This naturally makes them folk heroes, with the radio even calling them Gotham's Bonnie and Clyde.
-->'''Beau''': He's right. I'm ''such'' a Bonnie.

* In ''Film/{{Scream 4}}'', [[spoiler:Charlie thought that he and Jill were this. Unfortunately, Jill's plan was to be the FinalGirl in her own real-life slasher flick and become famous like her older cousin Sidney. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness With extra emphasis on the "Final".]]]]

* Kit and Holly from ''Film/{{Badlands}}'' appear in the ''Literature/AnnoDracula'' series, where they [[CompositeCharacter also go by the names]] Film/BonnieAndClyde, [[Film/NaturalBornKillers Mickey and Mallory]], [[Film/GunCrazy Bart and Laurie]] and many others.

* The Music/TupacShakur song "Me And My Girlfriend" sounds like a case of this, but is actually about the protagonist of the song and his gun.
** The cover of the song by Music/JayZ and {{Music/Beyonce}}, on the other hand, plays this trope straight (including the video).
* Contrast with the Steve Miller song "Take the Money & Run," which ''is'' about a couple like this.
* Subverted by Richard Thompson's "Shane and Dixie" - the titular couple are a wannabe Bonnie and Clyde, but when their petty crimes fail to gain them the fame he craves, Shane decides that they can be famous in death and decides to stage a murder/suicide at the scene of their latest crime. [[spoiler: He dies and is soon forgotten, she survives and marries the newspaperman who comes to cover the incident.]]

* Averted by Chris Thomas King's "Bonnie And Clyde in D Minor." The singer repeatedly tells a woman named Bonnie that he is not interested in becoming a gunfighter in order to impress her, all the while stressing that his name is not Clyde. There's also a good chance that her "gun" - which is "long and made of steel" - may be a vibrator.
* Music/TomWaits' song "Lucinda" from ''Music/OrphansBrawlersBawlersAndBastards'' is from the perspective of the Clyde ("William the Pleaser") about to be hanged, lamenting that he let the titular FemmeFatale drag him into a life of crime.
* The song "Bonnie und Clyde" by the German Punk band ''Die Toten Hosen'' directly references the infamous duo. It is also a love song in which the guy entices the girl to live a life like Bonnie and Clyde.

* "Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde" by American CountryMusic singer Music/TravisTritt.

* "A Southern Thing" by Better Than Ezra.
* "Lay Me Down" by the Dirty Heads.
* "Bonnie And Clyde" by Music/SergeGainsbourg.
* "All the Stars in Texas" by Music/{{Ludo}}
* Music/{{Eminem}} has a rap song called "'97 Bonnie and Clyde". Surprisingly[[note]]Or not, considering the artist's history[[/note]] it's an imagined fantasy about Eminem and his daughter Hailie carrying her "[[BigSleep sleeping]]" mother Kim to the beach and dumping the body into the ocean.

* Music/MarilynManson's "Running to the Edge of the World"
* "Robbers" by The 1975.
* "Bonnie & Clyde" by Music/SergeGainsbourg and Creator/BrigitteBardot.
* "Outlaws" by Music/AlessiaCara.
* "Partners In Crime" by Set It Off is about a couple who goes on a crime spree. They both end up [[spoiler:being killed near the end]].

* "Bullets In The Gun" by Toby Keith
* "Live or Die" by Lana Del Rey
* "Me and Dorothy Parker" by Creator/AlanMoore is about the singer and Creator/DorothyParker robbing a gas station together, and then going on a murder, robbery, and literary criticism spree across America. It MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.
* Used platonically in Music/{{LOLO}}'s "Hit and Run". It's about two women causing mischief while on the run.
* The music video for "Deep" by Music/NineInchNails (though not the song itself), with Trent Reznor and his LoveInterest as bank robbers.
* It may just be a metaphor for embracing life, but the Music/GeorgeEzra song "Green, Green Grass" describes a "heist" with a "getaway car for two young lovers".

* Astrid and Arnbjorn are a HappilyMarried pair of killers who run the local chapter of the [[MurderInc Dark Brotherhood]] in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''. In a variant, Arnbjorn explains that his wife doesn't usually tell people that they're married because as the Matron of the Brotherhood, she doesn't want to give the appearance that she plays favorites. Doesn't in the least stop him from talking about his "beautiful wife."

* Boris Badinov and Natasha Fatale from the ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' series that premiered in 1959 is possibly the first television example of an animated villainous couple.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' had an episode featuring the 'Souvenir Bandits,' two dimwitted boobs who [[CriminalDoppelganger look exactly like Timmy's parents]], who are trying to steal a sacred pencil sharpener.

* Likewise in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', where they even have a crime-spree montage with the Joker and Harley performing a cover of Music/HankWilliams' "Setting the Woods on Fire"!
* ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'': More than 30 years after when the pairing was first introduced, [[spoiler:Harley and Ivy finally become a couple on screen as they go on the run from Commisioner Gordon, complete with BigDamnKiss.]]
* The Metallikats from ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'' are a unique combination of this trope, FunnyAnimal, and KillerRobot.

* Marge and Homer appear as Bonnie and Clyde in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Love, Springfieldian Style."

* The ''WesternAnimation/DrZitbagsTransylvaniaPetShop'' episode "Happy Mishmash" had a criminal named Babyface and his wife Lily Vavavoom try to ruin [[YouMeanXmas Mishmash]] by stealing all the presents Dr. Zitbag was tasked with delivering.

* ''Literature/TheStainlessSteelRat'': 'Slippery Jim' [=diGriz=] and his wife Angelina (ex-criminals turned galactic secret agents) indulge in the occasional holiday/crime spree when not doing missions for the Special Corps, much to the chagrin of their boss [[DaChief Inskip]].
* ''Literature/RainbowSix'' has [[FatBastard Hans Furchter]] and [[AxeCrazy Petra Dortmund.]]
* Creator/AgathaChristie used this trope several times, in stories such as [[spoiler:''Literature/{{Death on the Nile}}'', ''Evil Under the Sun'', ''Literature/{{The Mysterious Affair at Styles}}'', ''The Murder at the Vicarage'' and ''The Body in the Library''.]]

* [[spoiler: Hank and Shannon]] take up this profession (briefly) in Stephen King's '1922' from ''Literature/FullDarkNoStars''.

* Leo and Sienna from ''Series/CSIMiami''.
* The Klinefelds from the original ''Series/{{CSI}}''.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' has Spike and Drusilla, Angel (or Angelus) and Darla, Spike and Harmony and - in an alternate universe - Xander and Willow
* ''Literature/MollFlanders'' and her lesbian lover Lucy.
* Nicole Wallace from ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'' has had several lovers that were also her partners in crime. The episode "Stray" also featured one of these.
* An episode of ''{{Series/Cracker}}'' had a boyfriend and girlfriend who committed crimes together and the girlfriend compared them to Bonnie and Clyde.

* ''{{Series/Numb3rs}}'' had Crystal Hoyle and Buck Winters. Crystal was the one in charge; she was almost twice Buck's age and [[HotForStudent his former teacher]].
* Shown in flashbacks in ''Series/{{Highlander}}: The Series'', with Amanda and another immortal playing the main roles, with Duncan following along behind and digging them up after the inevitable shootout with the cops. Apparently, there are several of these...
* Henricksen refers to ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'''s Sam and Dean Winchester like this, despite that they are not canonically lovers, though they do have an unusually strong brotherly bond.
-->'''Henricksen''': And yes, I know about Sam too, Bonnie to your Clyde.\\
'''Dean''': Well, that part's true...
* ''Series/{{Reaper}}'' had a pair of escaped souls in an Outlaw Couple relationship.
* Likewise ''Series/{{Brimstone}}''.

* In ''Series/TheOuterLimits1963'' episode "The Zanti Misfits," Ben Garth and Lisa Lawrence are "a runaway wife and a three-time loser" who flee into the desert--right into the middle of a FirstContact situation featuring insect-like aliens who are also criminals.
* ''Series/{{Angel}}'':
** In the episode ''Heartthrob'' the titular hero faces the revenge of a vampire acquaintance after he kills his Bonny.
** Darla and Drusilla, although the lesbian aspect of their relationship is only implied

* ''Series/TheWire'':
** Stick-up kid Omar works with his boyfriends. First Brandon [[spoiler:until said boyfriend is tortured to death]] and later Dante, then Renaldo.
** Omar and Dante also ally with a lesbian robber couple for a few heists.
* ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger'' had an episode with a [[LoonyFan guy obsessed with Bonnie and Clyde]] who kidnapped a girl to act as his Bonnie.
* ''Series/{{Dexter}}'':
** Dexter targets a Colombian people-smuggler who has been killing his customers and dumping them in the sea if their families couldn't pay an extra fee on arrival. He's also happily married to a pretty young blonde, and Dexter initially figures that, like him, the smuggler is putting on a mask, never letting her see who she's really married to. In the end, however, it turns out that she's actually his partner in the business, so she winds up on Dexter's table next to her hubby. Their anguished declarations of love as they face death at the hands of a glorious madman makes even Dexter pause, briefly... so he can pick up some pointers on how better to fake a relationship with his girlfriend, whom he needs in order to 'blend in'. THEN he gets down to the dismemberment...
** A B-story through Season 4 involves the vacation murderers, who turn out to be a couple. Things don't end well for them.
** In season 5 we have [[spoiler: Dexter and Lumen]]. Masuka even references Bonnie and Clyde when referring to the vigilantes. Considering how they ended up, [[spoiler: Dexter]] finds the analogy worrisome.
* ''Series/{{Lost}}'':
** Kate and Sawyer, pretty much.
** Also Sawyer and Cassidy.

* A few have happened in ''Series/CriminalMinds'':
** The episode "The Thirteenth Step", where the couple attempted to go through the steps of recovering from alcoholism but show no remorse as they repeatedly shot and kill dozens of innocent civilians who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
** There were also the Canardos.
** And [[EvilOldFolks the Roycewoods]].
* James and Alyssa in Netflix's ''Series/TheEndOfTheFuckingWorld''.
* In ''Series/{{Firefly}}''
** In the episode "Trash," Saffron tries to trick Mal into this type of relationship with her. She was working the same angle on an old buddy of his until Mal showed up and blew her cover. Of course, her ChronicBackstabbingDisorder complicates the whole thing.
** In a way, Zoe and Wash could count, since they are married and work on a crew that often engages in criminal activity. Not that being criminals exactly makes them the story’s bad guys.

* Mars and Starla in the ''Series/BreakoutKings'' episode "Fun with Chemistry".
* Tristan and Isolde are portrayed as smugglers in ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}''.
* Jack Rackham and Anne Bonny in ''Series/BlackSails''.

* The first season of ''Series/WickedCity'' has its main villains in psychopathic murderous couple Betty & Kent.
* ''Series/BreakingBad'' has Spooge and his unnamed lover who are two old and decrepit meth-heads who rob convenience stores and hold up drug dealers. They're also very neglectful AbusiveParents to their toddler son and live in a run-down house. While Jesse attempts to steal back his stolen meth, Spooge is killed by his lover while under the influence. While she's incapacitated, Jesse leaves an anonymous call to the police and tells their son to wait for them at the front porch before escaping the house. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse We never find out]] what happened to Spooge's lover or their son but it's safe to assume she was arrested and lost custody of the child.
* In ''Series/BetterCallSaul'', Jimmy [=McGill=] and his girlfriend Kim Wexler have some shades of this, as Kim quickly tags along with helping Jimmy con [[AssholeVictim obnoxious stockbroker KEN WINS]] into paying for an expensive bottle of tequila. And Kim later ropes Jimmy into conning a man who was trying to hit on her at a bar (this while under stress from work at HHM).
* On ''Series/{{The 100}}'', Murphy and Emori briefly have this going on in Season 3 until they try robbing the wrong people.

* In ''Series/WhiteCollar'', Neal Caffrey and Kate Moreau were this pre-series, though [[ConMenHateGuns they were a non-violent version of this trope]]. The couple that kidnaps Peter and Elizabeth at one point also counts. Unusually for this trope, neither couple's life on the run is idealized. While Neal does idealize both his relationship with Kate and the happy ending they are supposedly going to have together, multiple characters point out how short-sighted and unrealistic the idea that they could have a happy ending really is, considering that they will never be able to stop running from the law. Elizabeth also has to persuade her kidnappers that it is not romantic to go out in a hail of bullets. Considering that one of the main themes of the show is about [[RedemptionFailure a habitual criminal's]] [[ReformedButRejected struggles to go straight]], it's not surprising that this trope is deconstructed.
* ''Series/TheEndOfTheFuckingWorld'' follows the demented RoadtripRomance of Alyssa (a mouthy, moody teenage girl) James (a pseudo-sociopath who thinks he might want to kill her). As they fall in love, they commit a number of crimes, including theft, breaking and entering, and murder. (In their defense, the "victim" was [[AssholeVictim a monster]].)
* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' story "Dragonfire", the main villain Kane and his PosthumousCharacter girlfriend Xana were supposedly this in the back-story. She killed herself and he was exiled to Iceworld.
* Ray Stussy and Nikki Swango from [[Series/FargoSeasonThree season 3 of]] ''Series/{{Fargo}} '' have shades of this. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, they don’t get to go “on the run” together like most outlaw couples due to Ray’s death in episode 6.]]

* ''Series/Scoundrels2010'': Wolf and Cheryl are a HappilyMarried couple that have been partners-in-crime since high school. But his arrest causes Cheryl to have a wake-up call that the life they lead will inevitably end up with them behind bars, and she attempts to reform her children.

* Arguably the first FilmNoir picture ever made, almost a decade before the style became prevalent, Creator/FritzLang's ''Film/YouOnlyLiveOnce'' also has the distinction of being the first Outlaw Couple film. Loosely based on the real-life crime couple of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who had been gunned down by police only three years before ''You Only Live Once'' was released, the film is the tragic story of two star-crossed lovers -- a career criminal, Eddie Taylor (Henry Fonda), and Joanna (Sylvia Sidney), the girl who loves him.
* The main characters of ''Film/TroubleInParadise'' (1932) are GentlemanThief Gaston and his lover/accomplice Lily.
* Pumpkin and Honey Bunny from ''Film/PulpFiction''. They share a big kiss immediately before they start robbing the place where they've been eating.
* Lou Jean and Clovis in ''Film/TheSugarlandExpress'' are petty criminals who fall into this by accident when they panic and steal a car after a cop pulls them over, then panic again and kidnap the cop.
* Mickey and Mallory Knox from ''Film/NaturalBornKillers'' were killers rather than robbers, and the movie was meant as a scathing indictment of media glamorization of serial killers and other violent criminals.
* Kit and Holly from ''Film/{{Badlands}}'' kill her father and then murder their way across South Dakota and Montana for a few days. Kit does all the killing, but Holly thinks it's a grand adventure.
* The FilmNoir ''Film/GunCrazy'' had John Dall and Peggy Cummins as a war vet and a circus sharpshooter who fall in love and go on a crime spree.

* ''Film/SympathyForLadyVengeance'' features a couple of reformed bank robbers now running an auto-repair shop, with the wife having met and became indebted to the titular character in prison.
* Stranz and Fairchild van Waldenberg from ''Film/BladesOfGlory''. [[BrotherSisterIncest Never mind the fact that they're siblings...]]
* ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'': Theatre/SweeneyTodd and Mrs. Lovett.
* Also {{fanon}}ically, Richard and Justin from ''Film/MurderByNumbers''.

* Clarence and Alabama in ''Film/TrueRomance''
* In ''Film/TheCaptainHatesTheSea'' Danny Crockett is suspected to be absconding with $250,000 in bonds via cruise ship. He isn't too concerned about getting caught--because the bonds are in the possession of his partner-in-crime Janet Grayson, who is posing as an innocent librarian.
* Another lesbian version is ''Film/{{Bound 1996}}'', which features a female ex-con hooking up with a gangster's girlfriend.
* Basilio and Alisa (Cat and Fox, respectively) from ''Buratino'' (the Russian version of ''Literature/{{Pinocchio}}''). The actors portraying them were husband and wife in real life as well.
* ''Jimmy and Judy'', an indie film starring Edward Furlong and Creator/RachaelBella.
* The BigBad ghost in ''Film/TheFrighteners'' had an Outlaw Couple relationship with [[spoiler:his alleged adolescent girl victim]], and they'd continued to work together even after he'd died.
* Monica Proietti and a few of her lovers are represented as such in ''Monica la Mitraille''.
* The two-part film ''Film/{{Mesrine}}'' follows infamous French gangster Jacques Mesrine, who goes on a crime spree with his mistress Jeanne Schneider for a while, as is TruthInTelevision.
* Frank and Roxy in ''Film/GodBlessAmerica'' are a non-romantic, adoptive father/daughter version of this.
* ''Film/AllTheBoysLoveMandyLane'': [[spoiler:Emmet and [[FinalGirl Mandy]], who planned on killing their classmates, [[SuicidePact and then themselves]], in order to get themselves immortalized in popular culture. However, Mandy backs out at the last minute.]]

* In ''Film/{{Scream 4}}'', [[spoiler:Charlie thought that he and Jill were this. Unfortunately, Jill's plan was to be the FinalGirl in her own real-life slasher flick and become famous like her older cousin Sidney. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness With extra emphasis on the "Final".]]]]
* Maggie and Zachariah in ''Film/{{Seven Psychopaths}}'', two [[SerialKillerKiller Serial Killer Killers]] in love who indulge in some [[BloodyHilarious spectacularly over-the-top violence]].
* One of the B-Plots in ''Film/{{Yakuza}}'' is a pair of kids who decide to become robbers, gradually escalating (from a crime of opportunity to robbing with knives to robbing with guns). It doesn't end well for them.
* ''Film/SmokinAces2AssassinsBall'': Finbar convinces Ariella to [[VillainTeamUp team up]] once he informs her the bar they are in is crawling with Federal Agents. [[spoiler: They both die, but Ariella removes her poisoned lips to let Finbar kiss her, suggesting they had fallen for each other.]]

* In ''Film/InTime'', Sylvia is at first Will's hostage, but their relationship soon morphs into this when they begin stealing time from her father.
