Added DiffLines:

* A lot of females in superhero movies fit this trope.
** A good example is Creator/AliciaSilverstone's Batgirl in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', who acted as if she had something to prove to Robin and her character was seen doing such things as participating in a motorcycle race.
** Ditto Black Widow in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, who is the sole female member of the original six Avengers but has very close ties to her comrades all the same.
** Sif from the [[Film/{{Thor}} Thor]] [[Film/ThorTheDarkWorld movies]] is an ActionGirl who hangs out with an all-guy group of warriors.
* ''Film/BillyClub2013'': Alison describes herself as a {{Tomboy}}, having been on the Little League team with Billy in their youth.
* ''Film/{{Dope}}'': Diggy is best friends with Jib and Malcolm, two boys whom she always hangs out with. We never see her being with other girls. She's a ButchLesbian who acts [[TheLadette very much like them]].
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Film/EuroTrip''. [[TheDitz Cooper]] has apparently believed that Jenny was male until she [[GenderReveal points it out]]. The fact that she has a [[note]]fraternal[[/note]] [[AlwaysIdenticalTwins twin brother]] does not help at all.
-->'''Cooper:''' You're just a really cool dude with {{long hair|IsFeminine}}.
* As ''Film/EverAfter'' begins Danielle tells her friend Gustave that no matter her gender she can "whip" him. By the time her stepmother arrives the girl has some mud on her but her friend is covered.
* Hildy in ''Film/HisGirlFriday'' is the only woman working in the newsroom, but has just as much macho attitude as everyone else, and is consistently described by herself and everyone else as a "newspaper''man''".
* Reporter Amy Archer in ''Film/TheHudsuckerProxy'' is a fast-talking career gal and one of the boys on the job, though not {{tomboy}}ish in appearance. Because she's attractive, she gets the occasional come-on but responds with an earth-shattering slap to the face.
* Natalie Sue "Natty" Gann in ''Film/TheJourneyOfNattyGann'' is introduced sneaking off with several boys to share a cigarette in the men's bathroom, and gets into a fistfight with one of them when he insults her father.
%%* Jenna Elfman's character in ''Film/KeepingTheFaith''.
* Kate the Blacksmith from ''Film/AKnightsTale''. TheStinger shows her winning a farting contest over who buys the next round of drinks.
%%* Becky "The Icebox" O'Shea in ''Film/LittleGiants''. She makes boys cry.
%%* Saga in ''Mitt liv som hund'' (''Film/MyLifeAsADog'').
* ''Film/PrincessOfThieves'': Gwyn is happy running around along with men in the film and fits in perfectly, as a tomboy ActionGirl (granted, she's [[SweetPollyOliver disguised as male]] for most of it). Prince Philip even says she wants to be a man.
* ''Film/{{Rafiki}}'': Kena only has friends who are guys (she plays soccer with them) before she meets Ziki, a woman her age, with the two dating.
* Viola Hastings from ''Film/ShesTheMan'' is a girl with a strict no ruffles policy and wants to join the boys' soccer team.
* Watts from ''Film/SomeKindOfWonderful''. She hooks up with her male friend at the end but doesn't undergo any {{Chickification}}, and her "SheCleansUpNicely" moment sees her turn into a {{Bifauxnen}}.
* [=McCoy=] of ''Film/StreetsOfFire''. Her part was actually originally intended for a man.
* Creator/AmandaBynes's titular character in ''Film/SydneyWhite'', who knows more about plumbing than she does about acting "ladylike".
* Laure in the French movie ''{{Film/Tomboy}}''. For years, all of her friends have been boys (much to her mother's dismay), and on moving to a new neighborhood, she goes much further, [[SweetPollyOliver introducing herself as Mikaël]].
* Mickey, in ''Film/TroubleWithTheCurve'', plays a mean game of bar pool, knows more about baseball than anyone else in the film, and can drink single-malt scotch straight from the bottle as a result of growing up hanging around baseball players.
* Mari from ''Film/UltramanCosmosTheFirstContact'', the prequel film to ''Ultraman Cosmos''. She frequently hangs out with Musashi and her male classmates, isn't afraid to ride her bike alone through the woods at night, and takes part in activities usually for boys, such as camping, hiking, or sports. That being said, she is a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak who likes wearing pink and has adorable GirlishPigtails.
* ''Film/{{Wendy}}'': Wendy always runs around with her brothers and other boys in the film, acting very much like them as a tomboy. The same goes for Cudjoe Head, as the only other girl there.
* Anybodys in ''Film/WestSideStory1961'' would like to be this trope, but the guys don't accept her for the majority of the play.
