7HotBlooded characters in live-action movies.

10* Many of Creator/JoePesci's characters.
11* The Spartans from ''Film/ThreeHundred''.
12** Also, most of the Persians who have speaking parts in the movie. Also, since the narrator is a Spartan, even the narration is Hot-Blooded.
13* Connor [=MacManus=] of ''Film/TheBoondockSaints'' is by far the most hot-tempered and fiery of the title brothers, though we do see his moments of calm as well.
14* Sonny Corleone from ''Film/TheGodfather''.
15** Also Vinnie, to FatalFlaw extremes.
16* ''[[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 Godzilla: King of the Monsters]]'' (2019):
17** Rodan is portrayed in this film as a MagmaMan whose elemental powers more than reflect his personality as a volatile, aggressive aerial fighter who is easily provoked into starting a fight... or a ''massacre'' if it's the human military that instigates him.
18** When King Ghidorah's [[MultipleHeadCase right head]] is trying to free the other heads from Mothra's silk webbing, the head's response to Godzilla creeping up behind the immobilized three-headed dragon is to try and take on Godzilla ''all by itself''.
19** One of the soldiers who [[TooDumbToLive shoots at Ghidorah]], Hendricks, is yelling like a maniac all the while.
20* Rocket from ''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2014}}'' is a snarky, aggressive, hard-drinking, ill-tempered BloodKnight bounty hunter who is at his absolute happiest when he's either blowing something up or mowing down enemies with a [[{{BFG}} gun that by rights he shouldn't even be able to lift]], and will gladly give anyone who demeans him a mouthful of hot lead. He is once seen casually constructing an explosive charge strong enough to blow up a moon[[note]]When Gamora admonishes him that they're not blowing up moons, he grumbles about her being a killjoy[[/note]], his plan to rescue Peter and Gamora involves threatening to blow up the ship ''they're currently being held prisoner on'', and his reaction to receiving aforementioned {{BFG}} to fight his way out of prison is what can only be described as a "barely restrained orgasm".
21** In [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2 the sequel]], he finds a kindred spirit in Yondu, a Ravager leader and Peter's surrogate father with just as bad a temper and who finds equal amounts of joy in unleashing hell on his enemies, [[spoiler: merrily mowing down his former comrades after they mutinied and imprisoned him]]. In fact, pretty much every original Guardian can be considered this, all being career criminals who had to be the toughest or the craziest (or both) just to survive day-to-day.
22* This [[{{Pun}} drives Franco Bertollini]] in ''Film/TheGumballRally''.
23* The ''Film/IpMan'' films have Zealot Lin from the first and Wong Leung from the second. This eventually costs both of them; Leung gets better. [[spoiler:Zealot Lin [[BackstabBackfire doesn't]].]]
24* John ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'' definitely qualifies for being Hot-Blooded.
25* Chris-R from ''Film/TheRoom2003''.
26* ''Film/SpeedRacer.'' ''All'' of it.
27* It is readily arguable that most Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger characters [[http://io9.com/5065558/how-i-learned-to-relax-and-love-the-governator qualify]]...except for the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'', who is extremely calm and collected even when he is kicking ass.
28* Maverick (Creator/TomCruise) from ''Film/TopGun'', who likes yanking stunts like the picture-taking with the [=MiG=] at dangerously close range and abandoning his wingman for a perfect shot. His ego's writing checks his body can't cash, and it's noted he got it from his father.
