[[TheJuggernaut Juggernauts]] in movies.
----
!!Animated
* Tetsuo from the movie ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' gains telekinetic powers, and promptly goes on a little stroll, destroying everything in his path. This includes tanks, soldiers, bridges, buildings, and even a KillSat. According to [[http://moviebodycounts.com this website,]] he has one of the most kills of any villain in a single film with 96!
* ''WesternAnimation/Cars3'': Miss Fritter dominates the Crazy Eight demolition derby partly because she's a full sized school bus tearing through cars.
* WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant is designed as a nigh-indestructible engine of destruction. Gunfire, tank shells, getting smacked by a train, and even [[spoiler:taking a nuke to the face]] aren't enough to put him down.
* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'':
** ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986 My Little Pony: The Movie]]'' (1986): The Smooze. Set up typical flood defenses? It just washes right over them and smothers its target. Hide behind castle walls? It goes up and over them like they don't exist. Get splashed by it? You get more negative feelings and it won't wash off by conventional means. Use the awe-inspiring Rainbow of Light that took out Tirek? Watch it get grabbed and trapped deep inside it. The only thing that really hurts it was the Flutter Pony magic, and even then the Flutter Ponies needed the Rainbow of Light to finish it off.

* In ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', [[BigBad Thanos]] is able to beat Thor and Heimdall nearly to death without a scratch, punch out the Hulk without much difficulty, and tank just about anything that's thrown at him, without even needing the Stones. In all of ''Infinity War'', the only thing other than [[InfinityPlusOneSword Stormbreaker]] to so much as draw blood was Iron Man's LastStand. [[spoiler:In ''Endgame'' 2014 Thanos is possibly even tougher, since he can fight a dual-wielding Thor, Captain America using both his shield and Mjölnir, and Iron Man working in tandem. The only attack other than Iron Man's BadassFingersnap to really hurt him was Scarlet Witch's Mind Stone-powered telekinesis.]]
* Before ''Film/JasonX'', Jason Voorhees of ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' films was already [[ImplacableMan a tough, but stoppable undead killer]]. In ''Jason X'' he is accidentally turned into a cyborg who is capable of shrugging off heavy machine gun fire, which was previously able to dismember him. [[spoiler:A HeroicSacrifice is required to kill him for good by sending him to be burned by atmospheric re-entry.]]
* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'':
** Godzilla is unstoppable when fighting humans because he shrugs off their best shots and keeps going. Often the only thing that stands against the big guy is another powerful kaiju or mecha, but even by giant monster standards Godzilla is this trope at times. Some of Godzilla's more powerful rivals typically also display Juggernaut behavior.
** As per usual, in ''Film/Godzilla2014'', Godzilla is nearly indestructible, even surviving a nuclear blast prior to the events of the film. This is also his most heavily built incarnation to date. He's so powerful that Dr. Wates poetically makes him out to be a PhysicalGod.
** In the sequel, ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'', every one of the major Titans is one of its own right, except Mothra, not necessarily because she's too weak but more because she's too gentle to leave a path of unbridled destruction in her wake. Rodan is a flying version, powerful enough to accidentally crush a city flat '''just by flapping his wings'''. Ghidorah, meanwhile, is a kaiju MasterOfAll endowed not only with the usual mainstays such as flight, unfathomable strength and tremendously powerful energy projection, but also some even stranger powers, such as the ability to create giant hurricanes around himself [[spoiler:and a very potent HealingFactor]]. He even tanked [[spoiler:a point-blank detonation of the Oxygen Destroyer, which brought even '''Godzilla''' to his knees,]] without so much as a scratch. Throughout the entire movie, he is outmatched exactly twice - [[spoiler:once when Godzilla manages to catch him in the water, and then at the very end when Godzilla becomes Fire Godzilla by way of Mothra's HeroicSacrifice. And for that first one, it's unclear whether Godzilla would even have been able to overpower Ghidorah's HealingFactor despite his clear combat superiority over the alien in his native environment.]]
* ''Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy'' -- The eponymous Golden Army. Once given an order, they can't be stopped unless that order is rescinded. Individual soldiers can be broken apart, but given that they can easily repair themselves, any such victory is quickly rendered moot. TheHero ''tries'' to stop them but, seeing that it's pointless, gives up.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** Both ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' and ''[[Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome The Voyage Home]]'' feature unstoppable mystery probes heading straight for Earth.
** ''[[Film/StarTrekFirstContact First Contact]]'', ''[[Film/StarTrekNemesis Nemesis]]'', and ''Film/StarTrek2009'' feature unstoppable mystery ships heading straight for Earth.
** In fact, the "reboot" ''Star Trek'' films revolve around this trope:
*** The ''Narada'' from the aforementioned 2009 film demolishes a Starfleet task force sent to aid Vulcan and is only defeated by Spock detonating a BlackHole ''inside'' it.
*** Then [[spoiler:first Admiral Marcus and then Khan]] get a hold of the ''Vengeance'' in ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'', and it deals an absolute CurbStompBattle to the ''Enterprise'', which is so thoroughly outclassed that it never gets to fire a single shot in the entire movie (short of [[spoiler:beaming the 72 torpedoes, now re-armed, into Khan's possession and then detonating them]]).
*** And then in ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'', a massive swarm of drone ships proves completely invulnerable to conventional attack, demolishing the ''Enterprise'' in seconds and nearly reaching Starbase Yorktown before [[spoiler:being disrupted and destroyed via ThePowerOfRock]].
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': The Empire loves this trope. Star Destroyers, [=AT-ATs=], Super Star Destroyers, Death Stars... a good half of the Empire's arsenal fits into the "Huge, Powerful, and Unstoppable" category (the other half slots nicely into WeHaveReserves).
* Any killer robot from ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' films can fit this bill. Special mention goes to the shapeshifting ones from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' and ''Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines'', which are made from liquid metal.
* The twelfth of the eponymous ''Film/Thir13enGhosts'' was named the Juggernaut. A seven-foot tall serial killer, the tale of his death is like that of a modern-day Blackbeard. But death couldn't stop his madness or rage, as he increased his kill tally four times over as a ghost before his capture.
* ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'': [[TheDragon Algrim]], after being transformed into [[TheBrute Kurse]], becomes completely unstoppable, even being able to [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]] ''Thor''. Thor's hammer Mjölnir bounces off him and he barely notices; compare to ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' where the hammer knocks the Hulk back and causes him pain. Ultimately, he's only taken out when [[spoiler:Loki triggers [[HoistByHisOwnPetard one of the black hole grenades on his belt]]]].
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', the Juggernaut could only be contained in shackles designed specifically for him. The police holding him are heard warning others not to let him move, not even a little, because if he gets moving nothing will stop him.
** In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', barely anything the X-Men throw at the Future Sentinels slows them down for very long. And even if it does, they'll just adapt to it.
** In ''Film/Deadpool2'', [[spoiler: the Juggernaut is such a terrible threat that he's been locked away in his own special cell at the start of the film. Once he is released, ''none'' of the characters in the movie want to deal with him by themselves (in fact, he's the reason why Cable and Deadpool have to stop fighting each other and team up instead), and it takes Yukio chaining up his legs, Colossus [[AssShove shoving an electrified wire up his ass]], ''and'' Negasonic Teenage Warhead blasting him into a body of water to stop him. And even after all that, a FreezeFrameBonus shows him climbing out of the water shortly afterwards, maybe a little groggy but otherwise completely unfazed]]. Also, [[spoiler:the Juggernaut]]'s theme is literally titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI0tY5PRuHs "You Can't Stop This Mother***"]], which [[TheDreaded sums up the general response everyone has to the prospect of trying to fight him.]]

** ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 My Little Pony: The Movie]]'' (2017): [[TheDragon Tempest Shadow]] ''more'' than qualifies as this. In her first scene she takes down the three senior Princesses of Equestria in a matter of ''seconds''. Later, she takes down an anthropomorphic shark... thing nearly three times her size with zero effort, brings down the [[spoiler:pirate crew's ship]] despite her broken horn, and is even able do divert a [[spoiler:blast from the Staff of Sacanas, which had been charged with the combined magic of four alicorns]], again, despite her broken horn.

* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'': 1000 rhino warriors don't get a hit on Tai Lung, the Furious Five can't stop him, and even ''Master Shifu'' is defeated by him. Po and Master Oogway seem to be the only characters who stand any sort of chance against him.
