* The main villainess of ''Film/ShadowMask'', Red Goddess, tends to do this when taunting the titular hero, notably in the final battle after Shadow Mask finds out his girlfriend, Sandy, has suffered an intense MindRape from Red Goddess. Who then cackles into the sky at Mask's predicament. Creator/ChengPeiPei clearly had ''[[https://youtu.be/BF-XF6p7kvo?si=ddQ6-JHBxybzBmli&t=5247 way too much fun]]'' hamming up one of her few villainous roles.

* ''Film/TheRoom'': There's nothing evil about Johnny's laugh but he tends to do it at incredibly inappropriate moments, such as when Mark tells him about a woman who cheated on her boyfriend and when he found out, he beat her up so badly she ended up in hospital. Reportedly this was actually a true story that Greg Sestero told Tommy Wiseau in real life and caused him to [[HeManWomanHater laugh hysterically]]. Apparently Wiseau found the anecdote so funny, he decided to put it in the film, despite repeated insistence by a horrified Sestero that the story was not remotely funny, nor intended to be.

* ''Film/JamesBond''
** Scaramanga from ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'' has some recorded ones set up in his funhouse for when someone shoots at a picture of him. Oddly, Scaramanga is played by Creator/ChristopherLee who, while known as the quintessential villain actor, doesn't usually have an evil laugh.
** Subverted in ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' when Bond falls through a trapdoor into the underground lair of a man sitting with his back to the audience who's giving an evil laugh. Is it another Blofeld-type supervillain? Turns out he's been KidnappedByAnAlly--Tiger Tanaka, head of Japanese intelligence--who just finds it funny that Bond fell into an ObviousTrap.
