History AssholeVictim / Film

** Due to legal issues dogging the franchise at the time, Ernst Stavro Blofeld appears as an [[LawyerFriendlyCameo unnamed villain]] in TheTeaser for ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly''. By then, he's lost all of the power and wealth he had in the earlier films and is now permanently crippled, thanks to the exploding oil rig at the end of ''Film/DiamondsAreForever''. Due to this, Blofeld tries to kill his ArchEnemy 007 in a [[MurderByRemoteControlVehicle remote-controlled helicopter in revenge]], but Bond manages to turn the tables by regaining control over the chopper (whose pilot had just died inside). With the wheelchair [[ItMakesSenseInContext firmly hooked by the skids]], Blofeld is then easily reduced to [[VillainousBreakdown being a]] [[VillainsWantMercy screaming wreck]] [[DirtyCoward pathetically crying]] [[AintTooProudToBeg uncle]], but 007 ignores it and [[DisneyVillainDeath dumps]] him down a chimney, killing him off for good. Despite having an UndignifiedDeath, it truly means that a monster like Blofeld well-deserved it, given his ungrateful murder attempt on Bond, who was visiting his deceased wife's grave.

* ''Film/WillysWonderland'': [[spoiler:Sheriff Lund is a CorruptHick who had set up many innocent people to be sacrificed to the HostileAnimatronics and tries to feed [[Creator/NicolasCage the Janitor]] to Willy in spite of the fact that the former was already taking care of the other animatronics. The audience won't feel bad for her when she gets [[HalfTheWomanSheUsedToBe sliced in half]] by Willy himself. Additionally, Tex and Jed, Lund's two accomplices, get [[StuffBlowingUp blown up]] by Siren Sara.]]

** In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' the Other gets his head snapped by Ronan, since he was the skulking minion of Thanos no tears are shed for him. There's also Korath the Pursuer and Ronan the Accuser, intergalactic sadistic family murdering terrorists who are killed by the Guardians in the FinalBattle.

* ''Film/{{They Them|2022}}'': The victims are all cruel, abusive people involved with conversion therapy.

** Carter Burke in ''Film/{{Aliens}}''. He willingly sells out an entire unit of Colonial Marines so that he can bring back the xenomorphs for Weyland-Yutani to study and mass produce. He's enough of an asshole that (in a meta example) ''Paul Reiser's own mother'' enjoyed the character's death.

** ''Film/WonderWoman2017'': Diana mistakes Ludendorff for Ares, which he is not, leading to a Curbstomp Battle where she effectively kills the wrong man. Still, Ludendorff is a vile and cruel man who wiped out an entire village of innocents, so it's doubtful anyone mourns him or blames Diana.

* ''Film/Dementia13'': Louise, a GoldDigger and all around total bitch who covered up her husband's death and attempts to manipulate a grief-stricken mother into thinking her dead daughter haunts her. Louise pretty much ''deserved'' that ax.

* Pretty much everyone in ''Film/{{Dont Breathe}}''. The kids are hunted, tormented, and most of them killed because they tried to rob a blind man's house. The Blind Man turns out to have a kidnapped woman trapped in his basement, pregnant with his child. And she is the drunk driver who killed the Blind Man's daughter and got away with a slap on the wrist because she came from a wealthy family (he figures she owes him a child, since she took the one he already had).

* ''Film/GoldenSwallow'' has the pair of wealthy landlords, the Chao Brothers, who framed an innocent farming family over the theft of a goose in order to confiscate their entire land, resulting in the farmer's eight-year-old son committing suicide, the farmer getting killed in the ensuing struggle, and the wife being driven insane after losing her entire family in a single morning. Completely without remorse, in their next scene the Chao brothers are shown ordering their mooks in tearing down the farmers' house to build their new mansion, but it just so happens the assassin Silver Roc is passing by the area looking for evil-doers to kill. Both brothers ends up dying by Silver Roc's sword, barely a day after the farming family's massacre, and of course no tears were shed.

** In the novelization, she was selling their land to a chemical company (named "[[MeaningfulName Hitox]]" of all things), so one can assume she was going to turn the town into a toxic waste dump.

*** Almost {{Lampshaded}} herself after seeing the Gremlins for the first time, convinced "they're" coming for her. Her [[VillainousBreakdown breakdown]] into delusional sobbing before she activates her tampered stairlift and her own demise [[strike: almost makes you feel sorry for her]] makes you cheer as she ''literally'' flies down to Hell where she belongs (the Latin American translation even adds "to go to Hell" to the line below).

** Liz Sherman from ''Film/Hellboy2004'' is hunted down in childhood by other children and insulted, and even pelted with stones. As one of the stones hurts her, she loses control of her powers and kills the children.

** In ''Film/NoTimeToDie'', Dr. Valdo Obruchev is a sniveling weasel who sides with anyone who can help and protect him, and at one point he even suggests wiping out entire ethnicities such as Africans with his terrifying invention, Heracles. He meets his DeathByRacism by way of an AcidPool, courtesy of agent Nomi.

** ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' sees the dinosaurs taken from their island to an AuctionOfEvil. Basically, everyone who takes part in said auction and gets killed deserves it. Highlights include:

* The death of Mrs. Carmody in ''Film/TheMist'' is probably the only joyous moment in the entire film, being as she very nearly got the protagonist's little boy killed. Also everyone in the supermarket could possibly count, if they also eventually succumb to the mist creatures.

* ''Film/MostLikelyToDie'': [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. [[spoiler:Based on their past actions, Ray comes about as a JerkJock and the biggest a-hole in the group of friends, having led the bullying against John Doe since the first grade, being known for his bad temper, and having coerced DJ into planting the gun in John's locker so that his hockey scholarship isn't jeopardized. As an adult, he seems to be a surly sort, though a lot of this is due to the fact he was cut by the New York Rangers. Yet he's one of the few survivors of DJ/The Graduate's killing spree, as DJ had deliberately kept Ray alive and tied up in the trunk of his car, hoping to frame him for the murders. However, his actions cause his girlfriend and most of his friends death.]]

* [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] by Jabootu.net's Ken Begg in his [[http://jabootu.net/?p=687 review]] of ''Film/ThePunisher2004.'' It's likely the only reason Livia Saint (as opposed to her husband, [[BigBad Howard]]) is the one to order the death of Castle's entire family, is so that when Castle sets up an Theatre/{{Othello}} inspired frameup that leads to her CruelAndUnusualDeath [[note]] [[spoiler: Getting dropped off a high bridge, then run over by a train after she somehow survives the former]] [[/note]], the audience will feel, not that Castle indirectly brought about the death of an innocent woman, but that the bitch got what she deserved. [[note]] Of course, he also points out that Livia is quick to see Castle dead, then, when the Saints learn he survived, she responds by going shopping & to the movies like nothing is wrong. [[/note]] Of course, this depends on whether those watching believe that Castle was given AdaptationalHeroism / ProtagonistCenteredMorality.

* In ''Film/TheRecklessMoment'', Ted Darby is a sleazy mooch who's dating a girl way too young for his age and even admits to her face that he wanted her mother to buy him off. His death isn't saddening at all.

* ''Film/{{Splatter}}'': Pretty much all of Johnny Splatter's victims in the short are people who screwed him over in life.

** Director Krennic from ''Film/RogueOne''. Being the guy who oversees the construction of the Death Star, he deserves pretty much everything that happens to him--and this includes being vaporized by his own weapon.

* ''Film/StrangersOnATrain'': Miriam Haines, Guy's unfaithful wife. To be clear, she cheats on him, runs out on him and demands a divorce, gets pregnant by the other man, and then refuses to divorce Guy[[note]]likely because the other man left her[[/note]] and uses the pregnancy as leverage against him to prevent him from leaving her for his new girlfriend[[note]]Since no one knows it's not Guy's baby[[/note]]. She's clearly a thoroughly unpleasant person, and the only thing that wins her any sympathy points when she's murdered is the fact that she was pregnant.[[note]]And even then, the sympathy would skew to her unborn child, not necessarily ''her''.[[/note]]

* ''{{Film/Sweetwater}}'': Basically all of the people Sarah kills are unsympathetic jackasses at best, if not outright thugs.

*** "Good Golly" has pretty much all the teens, who break into the "Museum of Negrosity" after the owner refuses to sell the eponymous Golliwog to Aubrey.

* Carl Lee's victims in ''Film/ATimeToKill''. Carl Lee shot and murdered two white men and severely injured a guard in a courthouse after they raped and nearly murdered his little girl, [[DoubleStandard and would've likely gotten off due to racial bias]]. The entire trial boils down to whether they were such massive AssholeVictims that Carl Lee can be ruled to have been out of control of his actions [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge by sheer rage]] [[PapaWolf to avenge his daughter]]. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone It helps that he feels remorse for the security guard and apologized as soon as he could.]] Thanks to a powerful speech by Jake, he's acquitted.

* Pretty much everyone killed by the titular protagonist of ''Film/TheToxicAvenger'' film series is a despicable crook who did something horrible enough that they deserved to get murdered. Notable examples include the three robbers who shot Sarah's seeing eye dog in the first film and the Diaper Mafia in the [[Film/CitizenToxieTheToxicAvengerIV fourth film]], who attempted to bomb a school for the mentally handicapped.

** And of course Judge Doom, who after trying to destroy Toontown with Dip ends up getting [[HoistByHisOwnPetard drenched in it]].

%%* Dr. Hoenneger from ''Film/TheWolfman2010''.

* ''Film/BadMoon'': Very early in the film, a con artist who tried to sue the family by provoking Thor into attacking him shows up in the middle of the night to try and kill Thor in revenge. He comes face to face with a different canine -- a ferocious werewolf, to be exact -- instead.

* In ''Literature/HannibalRising'', Hannibal's first kill is Paul Momund, a foul-mouthed butcher and unrepentant Vichy collaborator who insulted Hannibal's Japanese aunt with racial epithets. Hannibal takes a katana to him in a memorable scene in which he slices him up and then takes his head.

* In ''Literature/HannibalRising'', Hannibal's first kill is Paul Momund, a foul-mouthed Vichy collaborator who insulted Hannibal's Japanese aunt with racial epithets. Hannibal takes a katana to him in a memorable scene in which he slices him up and then takes his head.

* The Crown Prince from ''Film/TheIllusionist''. Sure, he's an absolute jerk with a history of beating and maybe even killing women. But the protagonists end up [[DrivenToSuicide driving him to suicide]] over a murder [[FramingTheGuiltyParty they know for a fact he did not actually commit]].

* ''Film/SixtyEightKill'': According to Violet, Ken fired her and got her evicted when she turned down his sexual advances, and eventually used financial pressure to coerce her into having sex with him anyway.

*** Dodgson. He became Biosyn’s leader and unleashed crop eating giant locusts. He’s surrounded and killed by a pack of ''dilophosaurus'' just like Nedry 30 years early.

* Mrs. Deagle from ''Film/Gremlins'' was SUCH a bitch, especially in the deleted scenes that reveal she was forcing people out of their homes to put down a strip mall, effectively destroying Kingston Falls.
