Line 60:
* Ivan ([[Running Gag|What a surprise]]) Vanko in [[Iron Man]] 2, who can take a car ''crushing him against a wall repeatedly''. The exoskeleton he's wearing barely gives him any protection either. He also nearly managed to beat Tony Stark in his Iron Man suit.
* "The Russian" from ''[[The Punisher (film)|The Punisher]]'' (2000's). [[No Name Given]] if memory serves, but probably named Ivan.
** [[No Name Given]] indeed. He has no name other than "The Russian" in the comics, and he is a recurring villain with some decent evolution. Knowing that he suffered several brain damages (punches, bullets, ''airplane crash''), it's argueablearguable thatwhether ''he'' knows his own name.
* One of those rare non-Ivans is Nikolai from ''[[Predators]]'', a beefy Spetznaz commando who's also one of the nicer dudes in the cast. He may be partially based on the Heavy Weapons Guy (see below), since he befriends a bespectacled doctor, wields a minigun, and has a son named Sasha (which is what the Heavy calls his gun). Also one of the (formerly) rare cases where such a character is played by an actually Russian actor/bodybuilder.
* Yuri in ''[[2012]]'', stated to be a boxer in his earlier days. He apparently can still run as if he were in his prime, however.
* Technically Chechnyan, but referred to in the movie as a Russian war criminal, one of the two [[Psycho for Hire|gentlemen]] who guard Uri's money in ''[[RocknRolla]]'' definitely qualifies, despite being [[No Name Given|nameless]]. The other guy...well, he's not ''that'' big, but he has [[Shirtless Scene|a most impressive six-pack. You WILL question your manliness.]] Also, neither of them will ''[[Implacable Man|frickin' die]], [[Mother Russia Makes You Strong|no matter what you hit them with]]''.
* Petrov, [[The Dragon]] from the [[Bruce Lee]] movie ''[[The Chinese Connection]]''.
