History OneManArmy / Film

* Tai Lung in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' has his own prison and is guarded by one thousand guards as well as being held completely immobilised. When he gets free of his shackles, he beats up all the guards in a matter of minutes. Granted, he finishes the job with some dynamite that sends a large number of them flying at once; it might have taken up to another minute or so otherwise.

* The Indian film ''Bollywood/{{Magadheera}}'' had it's most iconic scene being Kala Bhairava, the Great Warrior, accepting a challenge to fight a hundred enemies, and winning. At it's time of release it's one of the manliest moments ever in Indian cinema.

* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** Each of Film/{{The Avengers|2012}} is one of these, but special mention goes to [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk The Hulk]], who is all but explicitly called one when Tony Stark and Loki are facing off.
--->'''Loki''': I have an ''army.''\\
'''Stark''': We have a Hulk.
** Due to being OvershadowedByAwesome, Captain America's status as this is given more screentime in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' as he's shown taking down freighters full of pirates, entire squads of soldiers (including taking down Brock Rumlow, who ''himself'' is pretty badass), and even an attacking ''[[CoolPlane quinjet]]'', and his martial arts skills combined with his enhanced abilities have been given more time to shine. The only person capable of taking him on is the eponymous Winter Soldier, who himself is shown taking down Fury's heavily armed SUV, firing killshots through walls, ''catching'' Cap's shield, and neutralizing the heroes' would-be air support before they can get off the ground.
** In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', Yondu Udonta survives his M-ship smashing into the ground [[MadeOfIron with little more than a few scratches]] and then takes down [[spoiler: an entire Sakaaran platoon (and a necrocraft)]] in seconds with his controllable TrickArrow. He's also leader of the Ravagers, a band of ruthless and amoral space-pirates who are feared by almost everyone in the galaxy. We get another dose of this in ''Vol. 2'', only this time the victims are [[spoiler:his own mutinous crew. Poor bastards never stood a chance...]]

* Hit Girl from ''Film/KickAss'' is a One ''Child'' Army. Usually she works with her dad, meaning the Trope doesn't technically fit, but in at least one scene, she mows down a small army of trained killers by herself to rescue him. [[PintSizedPowerhouse Not bad for an 11-year old.]]
* Nearly any character being played by Creator/StevenSeagal, anyone? I don't think I even need to specify which film, do I? However, one notable example would definitely be ''Film/OnDeadlyGround'' (1994).

* The [[http://radio.foxnews.com/2016/07/29/viral-videos-wonder-woman-trailer/ trailer]] for ''Film/WonderWoman2017'''s movie shows her standing up to an ''entire'' regiment of the German army, kicking some serious A.

* Foes fallen from Zatoichi's sword cane are impossible to count. For comparison in ''Zatoichi. Darkness Is His Ally'' (1989), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1l-6PhnAD8 Ichi kills 103 of them.]]

* ''Film/ValdezIsComing'': Tanner picked on the wrong man when he had his men beat the aging town constable and drive him into the desert to die a slow and painful. Valdez returns and starts using every trick he learned fighting the Apache under General Crook. By the time Tanner catches up with Valdez, Valdez has killed eleven of his hired guns without taking a scratch himself.
* In ''Film/{{Apache}}'', Massai wages a one man war against the US Cavalry, and seems to be winning.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'', the eponymous character singlehandedly defeats a majority of the Hun army and then, upon discovering that a few still survived, got their leader killed. With '''''fireworks'''''. As WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick put it, Mulan is "the only Franchise/DisneyPrincess with a body count. In the thousands."

* ''Franhise/StarTrek''

* The [[http://radio.foxnews.com/2016/07/29/viral-videos-wonder-woman-trailer/ trailer]] for ''Film/WonderWoman'''s movie shows her standing up to an ''entire'' regiment of the German army, kicking some serious A.

* While he often has friends or an army on his side, [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Aragorn]] certainly kills enough Orcs in battle to qualify, and was very much this trope for part of the battle of Amon Hen in the first film.

* So far, {{Rambo}} has killed over 250 people, including background information given in ''First Blood''. He does get a lot of help in ''Film/RamboIII'', and in ''Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII'', he starts out as a commando on a mission to shoot photographs, not the enemy, but he is abandoned by the Army once he starts killing Communists left and right.

* [[http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2012/10/liam-neeson-taken-ass-kicking-infographic Bryan Mills]], BadassGrandpa on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge in ''Film/{{Taken}}''. He's not just a One Man Army, but a One Man Army that [[CombatPragmatist couldn't give less of a shit about what constitutes a fair fight]]. He has 32 confirmed kills, not counting the {{Mooks}} he ''just'' beats up. Don't know if the [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown fire extinguisher incident]] is counted, though.

* The newest starship ''Enterprise'' from the 2009 ''Film/StarTrek'' takes the concept of One Starship Armada to ridiculous extremes. Nero's ship the ''Narada'' wrecks an entire squadron of Klingons, a Starfleet armada, and finds spare time to [[strike:blow up]] implode a planet. Guess which starship defeats it all by itself?? Seriously, it's as if any ship with the name ''Enterprise'' is made of badassinum alloy.
* ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness.'':
** A much, much more straight and literal example comes in the form of John Harrison. The man is ''unbelievably'' badass: He takes on a whole squadron of ''Klingons'' single-handedly, doesn't even so much as ''budge'' when Kirk is attempting to beat the crap out of him, and survives his ship crashing head-first into San Francisco no worse for wear. When you get right down to it, it makes perfect sense considering he's ''[[spoiler:Khan Noonien Singh]]''. The title of OneManArmy is not only deserved, but practically lampshaded all throughout the film.
** The [[spoiler:''Vengeance'']] is designed to be the most advanced and powerful warship in known space. Given that it's referred to as [[spoiler:''Dreadnought'']]-class, and the tendency of classes in this 'verse to be named after the lead ship, it's safe to assume that there is at least one other ship of that class.

* Each of Film/{{The Avengers|2012}} is one of these, but special mention goes to TheHulk, who is all but explicitly called one when Tony Stark and Loki are facing off.
