!Animation

* From Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'': No one exemplifies this trope like Gaston! He's decent at manipulating people, but besides that, he's brutish, illiterate, and uncultured -- [[SchoolIsForLosers and proud of it.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/CatwomanHunted'': After La Dama summons a couple of demons, Batwoman gags her with a sticky bomb and "interprets" her muffled outcries as La Dama telling them that their service is complete and they should go home. They're stupid enough (and/or lazy enough) to do just that. Batwoman even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this for good measure before knocking La Dama out cold with a punch.
* Kronk from ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove''. However, he ''is'' an [[GeniusDitz excellent chef]], and he does occasionally bring out closer to Earth insight. WordOfGod says he's not stupid, he's just [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} not always focused on the same thing everyone else is at the time]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'': After receiving Metro Man's powers by Megamind, Hal Stewart becomes a muscular stud. Nevertheless, he is still a complete idiot who believes [[PaperThinDisguise Space Step-Mom]] was real and [[EskimosArentReal the Queen of England]] ''[[EskimosArentReal isn't]]'' [[EskimosArentReal real]].

!Live-Action

* Bane in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' is a dumb, hulk-speaking, simpleton that can only follow orders. He's a SuperSoldier powered by [[SuperSerum chemicals]], though, so whatever. [[AdaptationalDumbass That's just the version Joel Schumacher used]], though. He's actually a GeniusBruiser in the comics.
* ''Film/{{Bedazzled 2000}}'' capitalizes the undermentioned basketball player stereotype when the main hero gets turned into one. He can barely put two words together and those tend to revolve around "pushing yourself to 100%...for victory".
* Mongo in ''Film/BlazingSaddles'', though he subverts it with the thoughtful line, "Mongo only pawn in game of life."
* Circus strongman One in ''Film/TheCityOfLostChildren'' -- HulkSpeak is his first language, and it's strongly suggested that he's developmentally challenged.
* Loz in ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'' embodies Sephiroth's strength. He's also dumber than a box of rocks. That an aspect of freaking Sephiroth is caught bawling for his mommy like an idiot child is a pretty extreme example of this trope.
* In ''Film/FreeGuy'', [[EvilKnockoff DUDE]] is uploaded into Free City as [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Antwan]]'s last-ditch gambit to stop [[InstantAIJustAddWater Guy]] from exposing a theft of his. He has a bodybuilder's physique and can toss Guy around like a ragdoll, but his AI is only half-finished and his [[MadLibsDialogue placeholder-riven mud-pie-sentence speak]] is like that of an AI-powered story generator, like Chapter 34 of ''Literature/AtlantaNights''.
-->'''DUDE:''' There are three things I love in life: Kicking ass!... TBD!... Third thing here!
* Jason Nesmith makes this (wrong) similar assumption about the bad guy in ''Film/GalaxyQuest''.
-->'''Jason:''' ''(not realizing the viewscreen is still on)'' I've dealt with his kind before, he's as stupid as he is ugly.\\
''(Jason gives his crew instructions as they try to get Jason's attention)''\\
'''Jason:''' Okay Gwen, put me back on with him.\\
'''Gwen:''' That's what I've been trying to tell you, Jason. You ARE back with him.\\
'''Sarris:''' Perhaps I am not as stupid as I am ugly, commander.
* James Ganddolfini is 'Bear' in ''Film/GetShorty'', a former stunt man who works as muscle but who is revealed to be fairly clever later on.
* The Golem in the silent movie ''Film/TheGolem'' is incredibly strong, but also painfully dim.
* Wallace, Angel Eyes' torturer from ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'' is big on the brawn, but not so much with the brains.
* Sloth in ''Film/TheGoonies'' is a hulking simpleton. It seems that he was dropped as a baby.
* ''Film/Gremlins2TheNewBatch'': Lenny the dopey gremlin, is larger and dimmer than the rest, obviously inspired by Lenny from ''Literature/OfMiceAndMen''.
* Michael "Lurch" Armstrong in ''Film/HotFuzz''. Body of a gorilla, mind of a child, Lurch is also a subversion because while he's ''dumb'', that doesn't mean he's innocent; When Nicholas asks him if he really wants to be part of the evil Sandford conspiracy, he replies with his typical "Yarp." "Suit yourself," says Nicholas, and the fight resumes. His dim mind is due to his dad being his grandad and his mom being his sister.
* In ''Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld'', Lennie Pike and Sylvester both qualify.
* Lump Hudson from the second version of ''Film/TheLadykillers'' is a mouth-breathing jock who uses HulkSpeak. One-Round from the original version isn't much better.
* ''Film/MadMaxBeyondThunderdome'': Blaster, the lower half of [=MasterBlaster=] "has the mind of a child" and relies on his dwarf ShoulderTeammate Master to do his thinking for him.
* Charlie tries to be this in ''Film/MysteryTeam''. He just fails at the muscle part
* Fezzik from ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' is a good example of this. It ought to be noted, though, that most of this reputation is based on the word of Vizzini, who has an overdeveloped sense of his ''own'' mental superiority. In truth, Fezzik has a number of moments of profound insight, along with a gift for rhyme. [[RhymesOnADime Some of the time]].[[note]]Being able to consistently pull off such wordplay on demand and without preparation, ''and'' without the aid of a thesaurus, requires a great deal of intelligence.[[/note]]
* Somewhat surprisingly averted in ''Film/TheRocketeer''. Lothar is TheBrute and definitely looks the part, but is repeatedly shown to be quite capable of operating independently and demonstrates quick thinking on several occasions. He is also introduced listening to ''The Magic Flute'' on the radio. Similarly, Eddie Valentine's goons look like stereotypical mob enforcer mooks, but manage to fast talk and SherlockScan Cliff's and Jenny's identities out of a diner crowd in a few minutes.
* Karl in ''Film/SlingBlade'' is a mentally handicapped man who is noted by his employers as being surprisingly strong.
* ''Film/StreetFighter'': In the film adaptation, Zangief is portrayed as a misguided muscle-man, who's non too bright. [[IgnorantMinion He wasn't aware that he was working for the bad guys]], until [[PunchClockVillain Dee Jay]] told him, and thought he could stop a truck that was speeding towards them [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYW5rmQgGXE by changing the channel!]]
* Nanue/King Shark in ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'' is strong enough to rip a man in half ''vertically'', but he isn't the team's smartest.
** A few of his outburts have little to do with the situation at hand and more to brag that he's spatially aware of things like reporting he sees a bird on the communication channel.
--->'''Amanda Waller:''' Any questions?
--->'''King Shark:''' ''[pointing at his hand]'' Hand!
--->'''Amanda Waller:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Yes. That is your hand, Nanaue. Good job.]]
** When introduced, he's seen intently reading the classical theoretical text ''Varieties of Religious Experience'' by the philosopher William James...but he's reading it upside down, and wants to give the ''appearance'' that he's literate more than anything.
--->'''Peacemaker:''' He's ''pretending'' to read a book!
--->'''King Shark:''' So smart, me! Enjoy books so much!
* ''Film/SupermanII'': Non is the largest and most physical threat of the criminal Kryptonians, but doesn't speak and is clearly slow-witted.
* Nuclear Man in ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace''. Lex Luthor, his creator, even admits to Superman that he's "Not one of your great thinkers!"
* In ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze'', Shredder decides to make his own mutants to fight the Turtles. The result is Tokka and Rahzar, a mutant snapping turtle and wolf. But while the two are immensely strong, they both possess an infantile mentality, and simply overwhelm the Turtles through pure brute force. Prof. Perry later explains that he altered the mutagen used so that Tokka and Rahzar would come out less intelligent than they would have been otherwise.
* In ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary'', Mary's mentally handicapped brother Warren can toss people around like rag dolls.
* ''Film/TopSecret'': "Bruno is almost blind, has to operate wholly by touch. Klaus is a moron who knows only what he reads in the ''New York Post''."
* Fred "Blob" Dukes in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', who Stryker employs to do the heavy stuff like stopping a tank from firing at them, is not the smartest of Stryker's team, even getting a tattoo of a woman he only met the night before.
