14
15* Zigzagged with Jelly, Paul Vitti's right-hand man in ''Film/AnalyzeThis''. He ''is'' fat (likely how he got his name), he ''is'' a mobster (and he has killed a few people in his career), but he's more of a NobleDemon.
16%%* Bluto from ''Film/AnimalHouse''.
17* Just in case anyone missed it in the opening paragraphs, Fat Bastard from the ''Film/AustinPowers'' films is the TropeNamer. He is an ill-tempered Scot who weighs a metric ton and EatsBabies. Though the end of his debut movie does try to paint him in a sympathetic light for about a minute or two...and then he blows it by farting at the end of his heartfelt monologue, and decides to kill Austin and his LoveInterest anyway.
18--> '''Fat Bastard''': [[ViciousCycle I eat because I'm unhappy! I'm unhappy because I eat!]]
19** By the time of his return in the sequel, he's taken his "bastardly" ways into SumoWrestling as a way of "going legit" but quickly proves he's still got his mind in the gutter. This is then subverted by the epilogue when it's shown he has mellowed out and shed about 180 pounds thanks to going on the Subway diet "just like Jared", at the cost of having a lot of excess skin and a neck shaped like female genitalia.
20%%* ''Film/BallsOfFury'''s main protagonist.
21* Big Fatso, the leader of a Black gang in ''Film/BarbWire'' is so fat that he needs a crawler to move.
22* Lt. Eckhardt in ''Film/Batman1989'', who's an {{Expy}} of Pre-Crisis Harvey Bullock, a DirtyCop working for the mob.
23* Oswald Cobblepot - much like his [[Characters/BatmanThePenguin comic book counterpart]] - is portrayed as an overweight mobster in ''Film/TheBatman2022''.
24* ''Film/BeautifulPeople2014'': Nibbio, the leader of the thugs, is a thoroughly unpleasant, murderous man. He breaks into peoples' homes with his younger brother Brett, and his friend Testamento, where they proceed to loot the house, force the occupants to fearfully perform whatever action he demands of them, and then kills them.
25* ''Film/{{Blade}}'': Pearl, the morbidly obese blob of a vampire record keeper. The only record keeping he keeps is his mouth! Might have been the basis for Balthazar in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
26* Augustus Gloop from both ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' films (as well as the book).
27* ''Film/ChipNDaleRescueRangers2022'': After getting blacklisted by Hollywood, WesternAnimation/PeterPan lets himself go and becomes Sweet Pete, who turns toons into bootlegs to sell them to the black market.
28* ''Film/ClassOfNukeEmHighPartIISubhumanoidMeltdown'': Since the Honour Students were killed in [[Film/ClassOfNukeEmHigh the first movie]], they were replaced by a gang known as The Squirrels, who were lead by a very fat, very sociopathic man named Yoke.
29** ''Film/ClassOfNukeEmHighPartIIITheGoodTheBadAndTheSubhumanoid'': In this movie, Yoke is replaced by his just-as-fat and just-as-unpleasant younger brother named Lil' Eggwhite.
30* ''Film/TheCommitments'' about an Irish R&B group has lead singer Deco an obnoxious and egomaniacal lout.
31* Serial killer "Crazy Fat" Ethel Janowski from the ''Film/CriminallyInsane'' duology.
32* Detective Hung from ''Film/CrimeStory'', a CorruptCop and the protagonist's PointyHairedBoss who is secretly TheMole working with the triads. In his first scene, Hung is shown forcing his fat, oversized gut on a reluctant call-girl, sexually humiliate her and then slapping her for crying. It gets even worse from there...
33* ''Film/{{Cryptz}}'': The bouncer is a big fat Black guy who works for a strip club that's staffed and run by vampires.
34* Cross-dressing John Waters star Creator/{{Divine|Actor}}, playing a man, was always unsympathetic and unlikeable. As a woman, at least "she" was the protagonist (extended to non-John Waters movies like ''Film/TroubleInMind'' and ''Film/RustlersRhapsody'').
35* ''Film/DDay'' has TheDragon, Gelda, an overweight brute who gleefully intimidates Ivan's daughter Zhenya after kidnapping her, and later [[WouldHurtAChild tries to drown Zhenya]] to force Ivan to fight him, gloating all the way and enjoying himself a little too much.
36* Both Herman Goering and Martin Bormann in ''Film/Downfall2004'' are both fairly wide, and are both unrepentant Nazis who are high-ranking members of Hitler’s inner circle. Special mention goes to Bormann, who manages to make good on his bid to make himself the most powerful man in the Nazi Regime.... which is gonna collapse in a few days, courtesy of the Red Army and the Allies.
37* Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in ''Film/Dune2021'' and [[Film/DunePartTwo it's sequel]] is so overweight he needs an anti-gravity device to move. He's also very evil and the main source of misery for the protagonist Paul.
38* ''Film/DungeonsAndDragonsHonorAmongThieves'' gives us a live-action Themberchaud, an adult red dragon who's so fat he can barely walk (definitely can't fly) and spends most of his on-screen time ''rolling'' around killing and eating people, unable even to use his dragon-breath thanks to his size.
39* ''Film/FirstBlood'': While not exactly fat and more big boned, Teasle has an imposing physique and described by Rambo to be "king shit".
40* ''Film/TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo2011'': Extremely obvious example as Bjurman is thin or at least average build in every other version, but very overweight here, and treated as disgusting even before he violently rapes Lisbeth.
41%%* The annoyed toy store clerk in ''Film/{{Elf}}''.
42%%* Gorge in ''Film/{{Gamer}}''.
43* ''Film/GoebbelsAndGeduldig'': [[ThoseWackyNazis SS Standartenführer]] Eugen Haase is quite obese, prone to KickTheDog and has an inflated opinion of himself if a painting of him as a medieval knight with a steel helmet and swastika armband is any indication.
44* ''Film/HarshTimes'': The government spook who tries to recruit Jim and his "talents" for his US task force in Colombia is noticeably overweight and sweaty. He also advises Jim to dump the Mexican girl he wants to marry and just get a bunch of Colombian mistresses.
45* The Great Goblin in the film adaptation of ''Film/TheHobbit''.
46* In ''Film/HobokenHollow'', Weldon Broderick is a waddling tub of lard, but also the most sadistic of the slavers. His EstablishingCharacterMoment is him running down a hitchhiker ForTheEvulz.
47%%* Kim Jong-un in ''Film/TheInterview''.
48* Film/JamesBond has fought a few of them:
49** ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'': The namesake [[GoldFever gold-obsessed]] and heavyset BigBad who wants to nuke Fort Knox himself, Auric Goldfinger (Creator/GertFrobe), as well as his mute BattleButler and trusted main henchman, Oddjob (Harold Sakata). The latter remains an iconic example of StoutStrength that Bond can't hope to best in a physical fight, resorting to another method to kill him.
50** ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'': [[BigBad Blofeld]]'s NumberTwo Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat) isn't a slim woman, and there's also the burly henchman Grunther (Yuri Borienko).
51** ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'': The portly Whisper (Earl Jolly Brown), a [[TheQuietOne quiet]] henchman of BigBad Kananga.
52** ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'': There's a fat bald guy among the {{mooks}} attacking Bond in Beirut. Later on in Thailand, Bond is ambushed by two {{sumo wrestl|ing}}ers.
53** ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'': The portly Stromberg henchman Sandor (Milton Reid), which Bond doesn't have too much difficulty in dispatching [[DisneyVillainDeath from atop a Cairo building]].
54** ''Film/TheLivingDaylights'': The overweight ArmsDealer half of the BigBadDuumvirate, Brad Whitaker (Creator/JoeDonBaker). A MilesGloriosus, PsychopathicManchild and EvilNerd all rolled into one that Bond still has some difficulty in taking down due to him using an [[MoreDakka automatic weapon with a big magazine]] fitted with a bulletproof shield.
55** ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'': Henry Gupta (Ricky Jay), a heavyset EvilGenius techno-terrorist who helps engineer the nefarious plans of the BigBad, media mogul Elliot Carver.
56** ''Film/{{Spectre}}'': Lorenzo, the bald and fat Italian bodyguard of the [[NebulousEvilOrganization Spectre]] meeting (Peppe Lanzetta), who ends up [[RailingKill thrown by Bond on the meeting's table from the above railing]].
57* ''Film/{{Jurassic Park|1993}}'': Dennis Nedry is slobby, he's abrasive, he's played by Creator/WayneKnight, and he's a corporate spy who sabotages the whole island (endangering many innocent people) to steal some dinosaur embryos for [=InGen's=] rival, [=BioSyn=]. He also meets a tremendously KarmicDeath, courtesy of a Dilophosaurus.
58* ''Film/{{Kisapmata}}'': Dadong is on the heavy side, likely stemming from [[TheAlcoholic his constant drinking]]; and is also a scumbag of a person who [[DomesticAbuse beats his wife]] and worst of all, [[spoiler:[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raped]] his [[ParentalIncest own daughter]]]].
59* Anyone and everyone played by Creator/SydneyGreenstreet, though they usually softened the blow by being AffablyEvil. The most famous is Kasper Gutman (no, really) in ''Film/{{The Maltese Falcon|1941}}''.
60** Bonus points as Gutman is called "The Fat Man" by the characters.
61* George from ''Film/MeanCreek'' played by Creator/JoshPeck.
62* ''Film/MidnightMadness:'' Blue Team leader Harold is a grouchy BigEater who can barely go ten minutes without cheating.
63* Mr. Creosote from ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'' is so fat that he can hardly walk, and is very rude and inconsiderate to the restaurant staff. The worst part is that he continuously vomits on everything, including the floor, the menu, the cleaning lady, and the ''maître d''', while making everyone else's dining experience so unpleasant that there's a VomitChainReaction.
64* ''Film/NobodySleepsInTheWoodsTonight'': The twins are a pair of murderous psychopaths [[spoiler:due to being the hosts for some black alien sludge that crawled into them when they were kids]].
65* ''Film/NoEscape1994'': The Warden is quite rotund and a ruthless, evil man. [[spoiler:King]], who's equally large, is TheMole for him inside the Insiders, although it's implied he did this more out of desperation to escape than actual malice.
66* Rasputia from ''Film/{{Norbit}}'' starts out as a domineering, abrasive child, and grows up to be a bitter, vindictive, and not exactly petty woman.
67* Papa Klump from the Eddie Murphy ''Film/{{The Nutty Professor|1996}}'' films probably counts, if only for [[{{Gasshole}} being stinky]].
68* ''Film/OverdrawnAtTheMemoryBank'' had "really, REALLY big brother". Can someone please turn off the revolving fat man?
69* ''Film/{{Pathology}}'': The man murdered by Juliette and Ted is only identified in the credits as '[[NoNameGiven Fat Bastard]]'. However, given Juliette's story about all of the awful things he did is a lie, how much of a bastard he really is remains unknown.
70* In ''Film/ThePitAndThePendulum1991'', the overweight and slovenly Gomez is the assistant to the TortureTechnician Mendoza, and also performs many of the menial tasks for the Inquisition, such as carting the bodies out of the castle and dumping them. His EstablishingCharacterMoment is accepting money from Antonio to smuggle him into the castle, and then betraying him to guards as soon as they are inside.
71* The cruel and corrupt Porky from the ''Film/{{Porkys}}'' series of movies.
72* Mathilda's father in ''Film/TheProfessional'' is an abusive and cruel man towards her own daughter as well as being a pervert who would jump at every chance to have sex with his own wife. He's also a handler of drugs for [[NaughtyNarcs corrupt DEA agent]] Norman Stansfield and his DirtyCop crew. It's also implied that Mathilda's stepsister is also obese since we see her trying to lose weight and she's also quite abusive towards her [[PetTheDog (though she does love her younger brother just like her sister)]].
73* Edna, a.k.a "Big Ed", in ''Film/ReformSchoolGirls'' is the [[WardensAreEvil sadistic head matron]] of the school who delights in torturing and sexually exploiting the girls.
74* The dead-o Pulaski, a.k.a. "Fat Elvis" from ''Film/{{RIPD}}''. Applies to a few others, as well.
75* ''Film/RiseOfTheScarecrows'' has two examples. Carlos, one of the main cast, is a rude, disrespectful JerkAss to everyone. Plus, there's that one kid in Pete's first scene who showed him both his middle fingers.
76* ''Film/SawIV'': Ivan Landsness is obese and a violent SerialRapist.
77* Max (played by Creator/MarlonBrando)in ''Film/TheScore''. Max is a lisping, money-grubbing, grossly overweight fence who betrays his best thief (and possibly only friend) in an attempt to buy his way out of debt.
78* Jabba the Hutt of ''Franchise/StarWars'' fame. Yes, he's an alien, but he is fat, even for Hutt standards. He was originally supposed to just be a fat hairy alien before Lucas's budget got boosted for the two sequels.
79* ''Film/ASerbianFilm'': Vukmir's henchman, Raša, a creep who delightfully partakes in raping an infant and later had no qualms partaking in ruining Milos' life. Fittingly, he suffers the most spectacularly gruesome and ironic death in the whole movie.
80* ''Film/TheStrangeDoor'': Alain is quite pudgy and is a petty, superficially jovial sadist who casually orders murders and wants to ruin the lives of his brother and niece over a decades-old case of being NotGoodWithRejection in a SiblingTriangle.
81* ''Film/TheTenCommandments1956'':
82** Jannes the High Priest of Egypt, played by Douglas Dumbrill, and his frustration at Moses's action in taking away his and his priests' temple grain to feed the Hebrew slaves leads to his secretly siding with Moses's rival Rameses.
83** An even fatter, sneakier, villainous-er character from The Ten Commandments is Dathan, the Hebrew overseer. He does everything Jannes does, but he does it because he loves power, and because the hottie he has his eye on prefers Joshua, the stonecutter with the chiseled (get it?) abs.
84* In ''Film/TerrorInATexasTown'', the corpulent [=McNeil=] seeks to control all the land in the valley, and uses threats, intimidation and violence to drive the farmers off their land.
85* In ''Film/TheThirdMan'', Popescu is an AffablyEvil overweight enforcer for a local crime lord. He stalks the intrepid Holly Martins throughout a bombed out Vienna, constantly [[ImpliedDeathThreat threatening him]] and siccing thugs, all while wearing a [[SharpDressedMan fashionable suit.]]
86* Most of the characters played by Laird Cregar, perhaps most memorably the prissy chocoholic villain Willard Gates in ''Film/{{This Gun for Hire}}''.
87* ''Film/ThisIsTheEnd'':
88** [=McBride=]. It's even pointed out by Franco that he had ''gained'' weight after intruding the house and wasting around half the food supply.
89** Jonah is a BitchInSheepsClothing who personally despises Jay to the point of [[PrayerOfMalice asking God for his demise]].
90* ''Film/TicklesTheClown'': The titular clown is certainly wide in the middle. He's also a thoroughly unpleasant person who's serving a life sentence for an unspecified crime.
91* ''Film/UnderworldUSA'': Connors, the completely amoral gang boss who tells Gela to start [[TheAggressiveDrugDEaler targeting schools to sell his dope]] because they need to improve their bottom line, is noticeably corpulent and is seen eating in many of his scenes.
92* O'Brien, the local rep for the Southern Oil Company in ''Film/TheWagesOfFear'', who happily sends the central characters on what is essentially a suicide mission for little more than the price of a ticket home.
93* Wesley's boss, Janice, in ''Film/{{Wanted}}''.
94-->'''Wesley''': She has one single iota of tenuous power! She thinks she can push everyone around. (''Grabs Janice's stapler'') You don't need this. (''Smashes it against the wall against his cubicle, breaking it'') [[https://youtu.be/iK0-76FChfk I understand]]. [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse Junior high must've been kind of tough, but it doesn't give you the right to treat your workers like horseshit, Janice.]] I know we laugh at you, Janice. We all know you keep a stash of jelly donuts in the top drawer of your desk. But I want you to know, if you weren't such a bitch, we'd feel sorry for you. [[SincerityMode I do feel sorry for you]]. But as it stands, the way you behave - I feel I can speak for the entire office when I tell you... go [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] yourself.
