Line 226:
* {{spoiler|[[Villain Protagonist|The main character, Tony Montana]]}} from ''[[Scarface]]'' might as well be the ultimate kind of this trope. Although he gets a [[Redemption Equals Death]] moment when he {{spoiler|[[Even Evil Has Standards|refuses to blow up the journalist's car, along with said person's wife and children by killing Sosa's hitman.]]}} {{spoiler|Tony}} also paid the price for said incident, however, when {{spoiler|Sosa sent his men to attack him.}} His death wasn't played out in a [[Alas, Poor Villain]] moment either. By the end, we still retain some sympathy for him, but he is still an asshole from start to finish, including when {{spoiler|he killed Gina's future husband, Manny Ribera, because of his over-protectiveness for said sister.}}
** In general, most of the characters could qualify. It's hard to feel sorry for any of these people, since they are all assholes from start to finish, as evidenced by the [[Cluster F-Bomb|constant swearing]] throughout the whole movie.
* Buddy Repperton and his gang from ''[[Christine]]''. This guy is a [[Jerk Jock]] with extra jerk, spending the majority of his screen time bullying poor Arnie Cunningham, referring to him by a… [[Country Matters| vulgar version of his last name]]. When Arnie gets a new car, Buddy and his goons decide to vandalize it… Not knowing that the car is a [[Sentient Vehicle]] with a nasty and vengeful streak. The car proceeds to hunt down Buddy’s gang, crushing one of them, then triggers a fire in a gas station, causing an explosion that kills the other two, and finally runs Buddy himself over. Note that this sort of thing ''is'' pretty common in [[Stephen King]] stories.
