* ''Film/{{Ladyhawke}}'': The HunterTrapper Cezar is one of the more colorful henchmen while seeming a bit confused and shocked at how sinister the Bishop can be. It would have been nice to see him have more moral complexity than the other {{Mook}}s and use his tracking and trapping skills against Navarre's wolf form for most of the movie instead of just one scene, which he spends as a SoftSpokenSadist rather than the PunchClockVillain he's initially hinted to be.

* Ben and Mary Parker's role in ''Film/MadameWeb2024'' comes down to just being {{fanservice}} made to give the story more connection to ComicBook/SpiderMan despite, once again, not having Spider-Man in it, although in this case the teasing becomes almost comically frustrating since neither character has any actual reason to be in the story, aside from Ben being Cassandra's co-worker (a role that could've been played by anyone, as none of the main characters had any connection to Peter Parker's origin).

* ''Film/TheSubstitute'':
** Some fans think the VillainWithGoodPublicity public face Rolle puts on (a black cop who went to night school and became a BadassBureaucrat principal to improve the black community through education in a rough inner city school) could have made a better BigGood than the BigBad he turns out to be.
** Rem and Wellman, two members of Shale's BadassCrew who seem more likable than Hollan and Joey Six, never get to be more than {{Satellite Character}}s.
** Darrell Sherman from the first film and Kara Lavelle from the second are {{Cool Teacher}}s who help out the protagonists of their respective films and have long-standing attachments to their {{Morality Pet}}s, while being idealistic and non-violent people in contrast to the gung-ho protagonists. Many fans would have liked to see them accomplish more success with their peaceful methods rather than [[spoiler:being killed for CollaterralAngst.]]
** Mace, one of the most interesting and fleshed-out of the InnerCitySchool students in the second film, is killed during a random act of violence without ever seriously affecting the plot.
** Sissy from the fourth movie is the racist {{Big Bad}}'s daughter while rejecting his philosophy and clashing with her father about how she remains on good terms with her mother (who is engaged to a black man) and is hinted to be InLoveWithTheMark after being sent to seduce the main student in the movie. However, despite this interesting setup, she gets PutOnABus after her only significant scene.

* ''Film/RawDeal'':
** The hitmen from the opening scene get a good AvengersAssemble intro which establishes their lethal skills, murder the son of the BigGood (which could make any fights with them later on have an ItsPersonal vibe) and then remain TheUnfought {{Karma Houdini}}s afterward.
** Lamanski's chauffeur is a BadassDriver and possible InnocentBystander who finds himself marked as acceptable collateral damage for the undercover Kaminsky to go after to keep his cover in the same way as the unambiguous mobsters in his car. This could have caused Kamisnky stress about his job or caused him to risk his cover helping the chauffeur survive, but neither happens and the man remains a SpearCarrier.

* ''Film/MiracleMile'':
** Wilson's sister Carlotta is played by the talented Creator/KellyJoMinter and is implied to be an anti-nuclear SoapboxSadie who spends half of the film having the same kind of chaotic adventures with her brother that Harry and Julie are having. She feels like she could have been an interesting part of the last act, but only gets a cameo appearance with a single line of dialogue.
** Chip's father, who has unexplained issues with his son, is the impetus of the whole plot, and could have provided a look at the panic spreading to other cities, is nonetheless only present for one short phone call where Harry fails to warn him about the incoming nukes before he hangs up.
** The busboy who believes Harry's warning but then steals his car to fetch his mother (according to a BilingualBonus conversation) and his mother never shows up again, when their own flight from the city likely had an interesting story behind it and his stealing Harry's car could have led to some interesting interactions on both sides if they met up again.

* Hawkeye is considered one of the most underused Avenger and superhero. In contrast to his fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and other BadassNormal heroes, he doesn't have enough moments to shine (he spent most of ''The Avengers'' as a brainwashed pawn of Loki) and has the least amount of screentime (he didn't appear in any Phase 2 movie aside from ''Age of Ultron''). Granted, his archery skills wouldn't be much use against world-ending aliens and robots, but he was absent from more grounded installments like ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' and ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' that could have put him on a more level playing field.

* In the ActionPrologue of ''Film/MercenaryForJustice'', an ActionGirl rookie member of the mercenary team is shown working alongside Krueger and Dekerk to accomplish important tasks while not seeming quite as ruthless as them. Does she go on to play a role in the subsequent action scenes and experience ConflictingLoyalty as Krueger and Dekerk begin to clash with Seeger? Nope, instead, she's anticlimactically shot just a few minutes after appearing.
