History Mooks / Film

* In ''Animation/MoonCastleTheSpaceAdventure'', the Bitter Gourd King has numerous bitter gourd soldiers that do his bidding and are easily mowed through by the goats and wolves. The bitter gourd soldiers wear paper masks bearing the Chinese character "兵", meaning "soldier".

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', Syndrome has a bunch on them on his island serving as guards as well as monitoring operations.

* In the third ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' film, the Bitter Gourd King has numerous bitter gourd soldiers that do his bidding and are easily mowed through by the goats and wolves. The bitter gourd soldiers wear paper masks bearing the Chinese character "兵", meaning "soldier".

* ''Film/PrimeCut'': the CorruptHick BigBad is protected by his many shotgun toting relations.

* ''Film/ThePrincess'': Julius' many brutal soldiers who exist to get killed by the princess and Linh.

* ''Film/{{Inception}}'' has an interesting variant: the apparent Mooks in this case are subconscious projections that populate the dreamworlds created by the lucid dreaming machines, not real people. Also from a certain point of view their role is benevolent as they are the primary defense a person's mind has against outside threats. The projections are initially harmless, so long as the dreamer's subconscious believes the dream is reality, but as the subconscious becomes aware that they are in a dream - accelerated by things such as shifting gravity or altered reality - they become more hostile, up until the point where they openly start attacking the "intruders." Certain people also undergo defensive training that "militarizes" the subconscious - which results in projections going from being an angry mob that only assaults when major changes are made to a well-armed, cohesive force of trained soldiers that attack intruders very quickly when a threat is detected. The latter is what composes the majority of the enemies the thieving protagonists fight in the movie.

* In the Original ''Film/TheCrazies'' The Army never take cover and are incredibly easy to shoot because of their white NBC suits.

* The Chinese movie ''Film/{{Hero}}'' has some almost ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}''-like flashback scenes where the heroes mow down enemy soldiers by the scores, if not hundreds.

* Used with an unusual (and probably realistic) moderation in ''Film/{{Drive}}'', where the two villain bosses, in spite of being depicted as very powerful and dangerous, don't really have more than 3-4 mooks on their side.

* The stormtroopers from ''Franchise/StarWars''.
