Line 43:

* The ''entire plot'' of ''[[Ghostbusters|Ghostbusters 2]]'' is about an evil spirit channeling New Yorkers' negative emotions, rage obviously being one of them. Futhermore, the Mayor claims that: "Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right." The film then plays on this trope when the Ghostbusters manage to ''weaponize'' New Yorker goodwill and patriotism by {{spoiler|turning Lady Liberty into a [[Humongous Mecha]].}}

* Buggin' Out from ''[[Do the Right Thing]].''

* ''Knockaround Guys'' gives us Taylor Reese, played by [[Vin Diesel]]. Witness his [[World of Cardboard Speech]] before [[No Holds Barred Beatdown|beating the everliving shit]] out of the toughest man in a small Midwest town:

{{quote| "500 fights. That's the number I figured when I was a kid. 500 street fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate tough guy. You need them for experience. To develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that's what you are. You learn a lot of things on the way to 500. None more important than this." [''headbutt'']}}

* The Centipede in the movie-version of ''[[James and The Giant Peach]]'' announces to the enemies "Don't mess with me-- I'm from Brooklyn!" (And he ''is'' very tough.)

Line 76:

* Given that the 8th season of''Twenty Four'' is set in New York, its to be expected. Most notably Brain Hastings and few dodgey police officers.

* Also to be expected from time to time on [[CSI: NY]], which is set in New York. As far as main characters,Danny Messer can fit this at times. He's settled a little since becoming a family man, but he still has his short temper and liability explode from time to time. He tries to restrain it at work, but not always successfully. And he'll take it [[Up to Eleven]] if you [[Papa Wolf|go after Lindsay and Lucy]].Stella fell into it from time to time as well, and so did Aiden Burn. Another character who comes to mind is Sonny Sassone, who was a villain in two episodes.

* On ''[[Law and Order Criminal Intent]]'', Robert Goren, who is from Brooklyn ([[Actor Allusion|as is his actor]]), generally averts this trope. When he plays the [[Good Cop Bad Cop|bad cop]], however, he turns his Brooklyn accent [[Up to Eleven]], just to play into it.

* Many different characters on ''[[Boardwalk Empire]]'', particularly [[Al Capone]].

* [[Heroes (TV)|Sylar.]] Although his home is based in Queens, his clock shop where his [[Start of Darkness]] began is located in Brooklyn. Chandra and Mohinder's apartment is also located in Brooklyn and is the location of Peter and Sylar's first real altercation.

* [~~http://en.~~wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Steve_Lombardi~~ The Brooklyn Brawler] may be a [[Jobber]], but at least he's got the attitude right.

* Taz of [[ECW]].

* [[TNA]]'s Bully Ray.
