* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'':
** Often the case when [[Characters/GodzillaMothraShobijinAndAssociatedCharacters Mothra]] allies with Godzilla, as her relationship with Godzilla isn't as smooth as Angurius and Rodan's. Averted in ''Film/GodzillaMothraKingGhidorahGiantMonstersAllOutAttack'' where the guardian monsters become TrueCompanions. Her teamups with Battra tend to go like this as well.

'''Tony Stark''': Why shouldn't the guy let off a little steam?\\
'''Steve Rogers''': You know damn well why! Back off!\\
'''Tony Stark''': Oh, I'm starting to want you to make me.
* The second of the ''Film/JoshuuSasori'' series, ''Jailhouse 41'', finds the heroine obliged to work together with six other prisoners. Many of them hate her, but are also scared enough of her not to attack her, and recognise her toughness and experience will be a bonus.
* This is the whole point of most zombie movies, especially those made by or remade from George Romero. ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968'' started the trend, with the zombies providing constant pressure on a house full of strangers who fight over what to do while passing the IdiotBall back and forth like a hot potato.
* The movie ''Film/PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles'' is perhaps a defining text of this {{trope}}.
* ''Film/SawII'' and ''Film/SawV'' did something like this to the extreme, as they had enemies put into a house and if they didn't cooperate, they'd die.
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries''
** In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', the X-Men have to team up with Magneto and Mystique in order to prevent William Stryker from wiping out mutantkind in its entirety. [[spoiler:Magneto and Mystique betray them once the threat has passed, and take Pyro with them after his FaceHeelTurn]].
** Harada and Viper in ''Film/TheWolverine''. While the two supply a healthy dose of Intel to each other during the film, they cannot hate each other more. A scene shows them having an argument of ethics and honor, with Viper [[spoiler: [[DisproportionateRetribution spraying minor poison on Ken's face and slamming him into the ground as a retort.]]]]
* Film/InTheHeatOfTheNight: Gillespie isn't too thrilled to have Tibbs second-guessing him during the early part of the investigation. But when Tibbs keeps getting proved correct, Gillespie lets up on the animosity. For his part, Tibbs doesn't help ease tensions as he withholds key observations at times and keeps trying to lead the investigation his way.
* ''Film/BigGame'' has a villainous example: while Morris and Hazar are BigBadDuumvirate, they have very different motives and are often at each other's throats.
* ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'':
** Despite being on Cap's side when it comes to the Accords, Sam Wilson makes no bones about his dislike/distrust of Bucky, which worsens when they have to start working with each other. They can't even sit quietly in the same car without antagonizing each other.
--->'''Bucky:''' ''[dangerously]'' Can you move your seat up?\\
'''Sam:''' ''[also dangerously]'' No.\\
''[Bucky scoots over in the back seat, glaring at Sam the whole time]''
** Likewise, Black Widow does not like the fact that she's on the same side as Tony as she's a closer friend of Steve's, while T'Challa is mostly on the team because he wants to kill Winter Soldier.
** Civil War also deconstructs the group's initial Teeth Clenched Teamwork. As the Avengers never fully trusted each other or worked out their initial grievances, it makes it much easier for politics [[spoiler: and Zemo]] to drive a wedge in and break them apart.
* ''{{Film/Defiance}}'': Collaboration between the Bielski Partisans and Soviet Partisans happens to be quite problematic, thanks to rampant antisemitism from the Russian population.
* In ''Film/SororityRow'', Jessica and Cassie really can't stand each other. However, they are forced to work together if they are to stand any chance of getting out of the sorority house alive.
