History FieryRedhead / LiveActionFilms

%%** [[{{Tsundere}} Natalya]] is all over this trope in ''Film/{{GoldenEye}}''.

%%** Mystique. Given it's her natural color - in mutant form. [[spoiler:After she's "cured", her natural hair color is raven black]].
%%** Jean Grey, especially as the Dark Phoenix in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.
** Sean Cassidy/Banshee from ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. His actor even auditioned because it was a rare ginger superhero. Ironically, Sean's one of the least hot-headed and combative of the students, with those titles going moreso to Alex and Raven.
%%** Yukio from ''Film/TheWolverine''. Though it's clearly not her natural hair color.

* April, the main character's friend in ''Film/DefinitelyMaybe'', forcefully tells him how to propose to his girlfriend.

* Rose in ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'' is a pistol even when she's being polite. At lunch she tells Mr. Ismay that Dr. Freud's ideas about the male preoccupation with size might be of particular interest to him. When Cal tries to stop her from going to Jack she tells him that she's rather be Jack's whore than Cal's wife and spits in Cal's face.

%%* Black Widow in the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'', to some extent.
* ''Film/DiamondsAreForever''. When Film/JamesBond first meets Tiffany Case, she's outspoken, quite rude to him, and has a bit of a temper. She changed wigs (from blonde to brunette), then appeared as a redhead.
-->'''Film/JamesBond:''' I don't care much for redheads. Terrible tempers. But somehow it seems to suit you.\\
'''Tiffany:''' It's my own.
%%** [[{{Tsundere}} Natalya]] is all over this trope in ''Film/{{GoldenEye}}''.
* The [[TropeCodifier Ur-Fiery redhead]], Mary-Kate Dannaher in John Ford's ''Film/TheQuietMan''. As another character puts it, "That red hair is no lie!" She tries to slug out John Wayne himself! Maureen O'Hara's finest FieryRedhead hour.[[note]]Maureen O'Hara was a real-life example herself: during filming of one scene where Creator/JohnFord kept complaining about her reacting to her hair being blown into her eyes, she snapped "What would a bald son-of-a-bitch know about getting hair in his eyes?!"[[/note]]
* Almost any character played by Creator/MaureenOHara. As one of early Hollywood's most beautiful redheads, and an actress willing to play ActionGirl roles as much as hot-tempered love interests.
%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * Bortai, the redheaded Tartar princess played by Susan Hayward in the Creator/JohnWayne flop ''The Conqueror''.

%%* Mr. Clarence Day, Sr. of ''Life With Father'' is a male example.
* ''Film/MidnightMadness:'' Berle from the Red Team is a red-haired young woman who is very fiery and outspoken about her dislike for the jocks on the Green Team.
* April, the main character's friend in ''Film/DefinitelyMaybe'', forcefully tells him how to propose to his girlfriend.
* Lynne from ''Film/TheWarriorsWay''.
* Creator/AnnSheridan in several movies from the late 1930s/early 1940s.
** ''Film/TheyDriveByNight'' and ''Film/WomanOnTheRun'' are good examples where she's at her most sarcastic and fiery.

* Shannon of ''{{Film/Far and Away}}'' fits this easily.
--> '''Joseph:''' I warn you. That redhead has a bite that stings.
%%* ''Film/TheWoods'' with Heather, played by Agnes Bruckner.
* ''Film/It2017'' has Beverly Marsh, a tomboyish redhead, while a very nice girl, is not afraid to get into a physical altercation when someone tries to hurt her or one of her friends.
* Henriette de Nevers is an understated but still adventurous redhead in the film version of ''Film/LaReineMargot''.
* Gimli of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' has red hair with a matching beard as well as being quick-tempered. Well, the temper part is kinda obvious because he is a Dwarf. Same goes for his father Glóin in ''Film/TheHobbit''.
* Spirited Ashley in ''Junebug'' is a midler and realistic version of this.
%%* Scarlet from ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra''.
* Lil from the appropriately titled ''Film/RedHeadedWoman'', who is a gold-digging seductress. If you break a date with her, she may follow you to your house and scream at you while you are talking with your wife. If your party upstages hers, she may show up and make a scene. And if you dump her, she might pull out a gun and shoot you.
* Murph in ''Film/{{Interstellar}}'', who is as brilliant as she is mercurial. More literally when she sets Tom's crops on fire to cause a distraction and sneak back to his house.

* ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' Film series:
** Sarah Harding in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark''. She is an animal enthusiast that studies predators and when she has the very chance of meeting dinosaurs she doesn't doubt for a second, despite Ian's rantings and warnings.
** Claire Dearing, the Film/JurassicWorld operations manager, can be ''redder than ever'' if you remind her how bad her first date went. And let's not talk about when she is determined to find her nephews, [[ActionDressRip ripping her clothes]] [[CombatStilettos and wearing heels in action included]].
* Ilsa Faust from ''Film/MissionImpossibleRogueNation''. [[ActionGirl She kicks the damn out of everyone with her dark red hair and freckles]]. She has green eyes too.
* Cynthia in ''Film/LoveFindsAndyHardy''. Cynthia is gorgeous, and apparently quite a bit sluttier than all the other girls in Carvel--Andy doesn't know how to deal with Cynthia's nonstop desire for "hugging and kissing." Cynthia dumps Andy like yesterday's garbage after she gets a look at TheAllegedCar he just bought.
* The Pontipee brothers from ''Film/SevenBridesForSevenBrothers'' are all short-tempered redheads who'll break into fights at the slightest provocation. Frank is easily the best example as he [[BerserkButton starts fights]] whenever one of his brothers uses his EmbarrassingFirstName. The producers deliberately made the brothers redheads to better contrast them with the darker-haired townspeople.
* Branwell Brontë (the red-haired brother of the Brontë sisters) in ''Film/ToWalkInvisible'' is shown to have a temper, lashing out at his family. As he [[DescentIntoAddiction descends into alcoholism and drug abuse]], it only gets worse.
* In ''Film/LifeWithFather'', the new maid watches with trepidation as the Day family's four sons each come downstairs to breakfast, each of them as redheaded as the last (''they'' are not so much fiery, but their father certainly is; his very loud imaginary argument with the mayor frightens Annie into quitting on her first day).
* ''Film/StealingHeaven'': Héloïse, who has flaming hair and a bold, inquisitive personality. Both her beauty and intellect clearly charm Abelard, along with other people.
* Rose-Lynn in ''Film/WildRose2018'' has bright red hair, and is temperamental and immature. Visually, it helps her pop against the dreary gray and brown of Glasgow.
* ''Film/RedSonja'': Sonja is a red-haired, hot-blooded swordswoman who has righteous fury for Queen Gedren, who had her raped and ordered Sonja's family slaughtered, on whom she has sworn vengeance.
* 'Spitfire' Stephens (played by Creator/MaureenOHara) in ''Film/AgainstAllFlags''. When Hawke asks Krukshank how she got her nickname, he is told he'll soon find out. She is a hot-tempered PirateGirl who will pull a pistol on any man who tries to kiss her, and once killed a man in a duel for daring to touch her without her consent.
* Inverted in ''Film/HussarBallad''. Red-haired Vincento is the most composed one of the characters. When he is captured, he keeps his cool and talks civilly to his interrogator, barely raising his voice. When he learns [[SamusIsAGirl Shura is a girl]], he only reacts with a slight gasp and widened eyes, while every time any other character learns of it, you can expect indignation at the very least. [[spoiler:Being mortally wounded, he faces his death calmly]]. Meanwhile, the tempers of most of the other characters (who have brown, black or grey hair) are way more explosive.
* ''Film/LoveIsNotPerfect'': Adriana is a passionate redhead with a quick temper.
* ''Film/{{The Princess|2022}}'': The princess has long, wavy red hair and is a passionate, rebellious young woman who refuses to submit when coerced into marriage with a foreign prince, who she fights against.

* ''Film/ThePrincess'': The princess has long, wavy red hair and is a passionate, rebellious young woman who refuses to submit when coerced into marriage with a foreign prince, who she fights against.

* KnifeNut Lynne from ''Film/TheWarriorsWay''.
