* ''Film/{{Unforgiven}}'' deconstructs this. Will Munny, Ned Logan, Bill Daggett and English Bob are all pretty bad people but the moment they lose their guns, they are beaten severely or even killed yet viewers are supposed to sympathize with their plight just because they have become defenseless.

* In ''Film/VanHelsing'' (2004), there's Top Hat, the undertaker of Anna's village. He led the village to kill both Frankenstein and his creation, is [[{{Jerkass}} very rude towards Van Helsing]], tried (And failed) to [[DirtyCoward attack him from behind]], and in the novelization, there's were some heavy implications that he may have been in league with [[BigBad Count Dracula]]. So you'll most likely to cheer when he gets killed by the Velkan-werewolf.

* ''Film/Thanksgiving2023'': The vast majority of people John Carver targets are one of these, with various degrees of responsibility for a riot that left three people dead and many injured.
** [[spoiler:Lizzie the waitress was one of the most aggressive rioters, killing Amanda with her shopping cart and ''not even noticing'' what she'd done. John Carver takes her out first, and displays her corpse on the store's sign to signal the beginning of his killing spree]].
** [[spoiler:Another victim is an obnoxious jerk who helps instigate the riot. He later gets gets killed via NeckSnap.]]
** [[spoiler:Jessica's stepmother Kathleen is a selfish, uncaring woman who deleted the security footage of the riot, ensuring that no one would face legal consequences. She is ultimately burned to death in the killer's oven.]]
** [[spoiler:Evan was by far the most obnoxious about taunting the crowd outside the superstore, and refused to stop recording with his phone even as the tragedy unfolded and his own friends were hurt, thinking only of social media likes. A year later, he never showed a bit of remorse and got angry when the other characters acted like he should. He was also a general bullying asshole in his daily life, referring to Ryan as an "NPC" and forcing a smaller student to write essays for him, then denying that student his promised pay.]]
*** [[spoiler:For that matter, the smaller student, Jacob, gives Evan an essay plagiarized from something ''his own teacher'' wrote, likely knowing he wasn't going to pay up. Evan is left completely humiliated after reading it aloud in class, and may have been about to be suspended for plagiarism if he hadn't been killed before it could happen.]]
** [[spoiler:Downplayed with Yulia and her father. While Yulia came off as bratty and was one of the kids who insisted on going into the superstore, she's never shown doing anything as nasty as the victims above and spends most of the riot hiding and fending off attackers. Her father also comes off as pretty rude and abrasive, but when he learns his daughter is being targeted by a killer, he immediately tries to get her out of the state, and his final moments before being tranqed by Carver are trying to warn Yulia that the killer is in their home.]]
** [[spoiler:Downplayed with Manny the security guard as well. While he did run away when the Black Friday riot started, and the only other security guard got killed, there wasn't anything he could really do as security was severely understaffed and he might have gotten killed by the mob himself. One could understand why he ran away. That doesn't stop the Carver from targeting and killing him for failing to protect his wife though.]]
** [[spoiler:In hindsight, Amanda is a downplayed example as it's revealed that she was cheating on Mitch with Sheriff Newlon, who also reveals that she was going to leave her husband when she found out that she was pregnant with his child. Still, compared to the other horrible people targeted, she's by no means the worst.]]
