* ''Film/{{Underground}}'' has the main characters, Serbian WW2 gunrunners Marko and Blacky. They love a good scrap and are always partying as hard as possible. In one scene, Marko stumbles across a brawl started by Blacky, hands his personal brass band a tip to play some fast-tempo music, and throws himself into the fray while dancing to the beat.

* Mace Windu, the number two Jedi on the Council (who first appeared in ''Film/ANewHope'') qualified. He ''loved'' to fight, and given the tempting nature of the Dark Side, this was a dangerous trait for a Jedi to have; as a result, he studied favored Form VII (also known as Juyo or Vaapad) a very difficult and hard to use school of swordplay, that allowed near-unmatched mental discipline and lightsaber control. His concentration was such that he was even able to use certain Dark Side techniques, like [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Force Crush]], without succumbing to the temptation. (''However'', he was clearly the exception, not the rule.)

* Creator/RayWinstone as Bors in the otherwise lame ''Film/KingArthur'' (2004) film. Cheerful, savage, so many children he just gives them numbers... Creator/RayStevenson was also awesome as [[GentleGiant Dagonet]]. All the knights were like this to some extent, apart from Tristan and Arthur himself. The scenes with them cracking jokes at each other are easily the best parts of the movie.

** Boss Nass, the Gungan head honcho from ''StarWars Episode I''. His booming voice and seizure-like expressions of displeasure make him more expressive than most of the human cast. The character was written as a strict, xenophobic no-nonsense ruler with little patience, who eventually had a change of heart when he realizes he's misjudged the race he despises, and becomes friendly and joyful. Blessed's performance changed the characterization.

* You could argue that El Indio from ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'' is a deconstruction of this trope. He laughs all the time, hugs his friends a lot, is enthusiastic and boisterous and runs a band of plucky outlaws out to rob an impenetrable bank against all the odds -- but he's a depraved child-murdering, stalking rapist and his band are all implied to be similarly bad. His happy laughing face gets on his WantedPoster, but he also has a much more evil, violent side to him which causes him to [[BadBoss turn on his own men]]. Lastly, his good moods seem almost maniacal, and are probably induced with drugs.

** Madmartigan, whenever he wasn't being a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
** The two Brownies following Willow are about ankle-high (to a halfling) but otherwise perfect examples.
* ''[[Film/TheHungerGames Catching Fire]]'' gives us a female example in Johanna Mason. ActionGirl with plenty of axe-swinging skills, on her first scene [[NakedOnArrival strips of all her clothes without any shame]], later [[ClusterFBomb curses plentifully in an interview]], and gives a SmiteMeOMightySmiter moment.
