History EvilVersusEvil / LiveActionFilms

* ''Film/BadTeacher'' pits the lazy, rude and verbally to even physically abrasive GoldDigger Elizabeth Halsey (an English teacher) against the next-door English teacher Amy Squirrel who is a CloudCuckoolander ControlFreak wanting complete dictatorship over the school.

* ''Film/TenCloverfieldLane'' -- Michelle, the movie's protagonist ''and'' damsel-in-distress, is forced to choose either staying in an underground bunker for the rest of her life with a dangerous madman, Howard Stambler, or fight off ground-burrowing monstrous aliens that have taken over the earth's surface.

* ''Film/KingKong [[Film/KingKongVsGodzilla vs.]] Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' in the UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny since both were antagonists in their original films. This is the case with several of the movies depending on which one you watch. Sometimes Godzilla is just the lesser of two evils and the enemy monster is worse, with the exception of his [[Film/Godzilla2014 MonsterVerse reincarnation]] who on the other hand is a true hero with no malice to humans whatsoever and aids them in taking down other monstrous threats.

* Invoked and discussed by Augustus Gibbons in ''Film/XXx'' by way of explaining his reasoning for recruiting criminals, although it's actually more BlackAndGrayMorality in that the proper villains are ''far'' more evil than Xander, who's more of a low-level underground figure who never sets out to hurt anyone. The only crime we see him commit onscreen is stealing and crashing the car of a zealous {{Moral Guardian|s}} [[AcceptablePoliticalTargets politican]].

* ''Film/TheyThem'': Serial killer Molly versus the cruel staff members of a conversion therapy camp.

* ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'' -- Megatron vs. Sentinel Prime. After successfully launching a Deception invasion upon Chicago that results in the deaths of Ironhide and numerous humans, Megatron brags to Sentinel Prime that they can rule Cybertron together. Sentinel Prime claims that '''he''' will rule Cybertron by himself and to assert dominance, goes to rip out a chunk of Megatron's face off. This would later result in Megatron deciding to get retribution on Sentinel (and ironically sparing his arch-nemesis Optimus Prime from getting killed in battle by Sentinel) screaming, "THIS IS MY PLANET!". While Megatron can kill off Sentinel Prime, he realized that he can't do the same to Optimus Prime, making him resort to feign offering truce with the latter. Optimus responds by ripping Megatron's head off as revenge for his many evil-doings, especially for tearing Jazz in half. Sentinel doesn't get a better ending, as Optimus also kills him with gunshots to avenge Ironhide and Que. Still, Megatron won since he lived on to return in ''[[Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction Age of Extinction]]'' as Galvatron and then as an upgraded, even stronger Megatron in ''[[Film/TransformersTheLastKnight The Last Knight]]''.

** ''Film/PointBlank'', an earlier adaptation of the same material, is a less explicit but at least equally suspenseful take on the same idea.

* The ''Franchise/AlienVsPredator'' crossover franchise is an example of this without question. Whoever wins, we lose. [[Film/AVPAlienVsPredator The first film]] shows the last predator teaming up with the [[spoiler: humans]] -- only because it was the only way he could win. [[spoiler:He died in the end, as well as the other predators who knew of the alliance -- though the comrades, on the ImmediateSequel.]] This is actually a bit of a subversion as neither the Xenomorphs or the Predators are truly evil, as Predators operate on BlueAndOrangeMorality based around hunting and honor, while the Xenomorphs are just animals following their instincts. In the Aliens' case though their capacity for moral action is called into question since it's repeatedly shown that they're clearly [[ItCanThink capable of intelligent thought]]. Maybe they also operate on BlueAndOrangeMorality. But both are villains to [[MostWritersAreHuman the viewpoint characters, humans.]]

* ''Film/KingKong [[Film/KingKongVsGodzilla vs.]] Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' in the UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny since both were antagonists in their original films. This is the case with several of the movies depending on which one you watch. Sometimes Godzilla is just the lesser of two evils and the enemy monster is worse, with the exception of his [[Film/Godzilla2014 MonsterVerse reincarnation]] who on the other hand is a true hero with no malice to humans whatsoever and aids them in taking down the MUTO's.
* * Related to the above, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah originally fell under this, as Ghidorah was far worse than current BigBad Godzilla.

* ''Film/TheDevilsRejects'' takes HeWhoFightsMonsters and [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped bashes you over the head with it]]. [[MisaimedFandom Some viewers]] cheered on for Sheriff Wydell, however, as his depraved acts of torture were done against people who tortured and killed countless ''innocent'' people, while others sympathized with the Rejects given that they were more likable in comparison and humanized in the second half. Director Music/RobZombie said there are no good guys in the film and it's up for the viewer to decide who to root for.
