* Mohammed Avdol from ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', an appropriately dressed Egyptian fortune teller who introduces the main cast to the concept of a [[Fighting Spirit|Stand]]. His own stand, appropriately enough, is named ''Magician's'' Red and gives him [[Playing with Fire|power over flame]].
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* ''[[300]]'': During the battle, the Persians send out troops who chuck explosives of some kind. The narrator refers to them as cowardly magicians.
* The first ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' film had [[James Earl Jones]] (though he was no [[Squishy Wizard]] in the beginning) and Mako as the two resident good and bad wizards. The second one also had Akiro, who also fits.
* ''[[The Scorpion King]]'' inverts this in that the primary [[Squishy Wizard]] is not only white, but very British, and played by [[The Lord of the Rings|Theoden King]]. Though the Sorceress is played by Kelly Hu, and appears very much Asian.
** At least to those who took sufficient time off from looking at her... other attributes to notice.
* ''[[Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves]]'': [[Magical Negro|"The Moor"]] Azeem was added to the Robin Hood mythology as a [[Token Minority]] (and perhaps [[Did Not Do the Research]]), and spends most of the movie commenting how barbaric and primitive Britain is. At one point, he introduces them to [[Magic From Technology|black powder explosives]] which they adapt to using [[Fridge Logic|rather quickly]].
