Line 99:
* The forever brutish Tannen bloodline in the ''[[Back to The Future]]'' movies. The line goes back to "Mad Dog" Tannen, a murderous [[Wild West]] outlaw who kills Doc Brown in one timeline. In 1955, Biff Tannen is a bully who tries to rape Marty's mother. In various timelines, he matures into an abusive boss, a crime lord, and a bitter old man. Biff's grandson is a monstrous thug.
* Jack Sparrow tells Will Turner in the first ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' movie that "Piracy is in your blood," since his father was also the pirate "Bootstrap Bill" Turner. Later on it turns out to be an important plot point, and Will embraces his pirate heritage. Of course, no mention is made of whether Bootstrap Bill's father was a pirate. One pirate parent is apparently enough to turn his heirs into pirates as well.
* Aragorn in the film version of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' has deep seated fear he will prove to have "the blood of Isildur" and choose to use the [[Artifact of Doom|One Ring]], which extends to him being fearful of taking up his mantle as king. Still, the Ring has a rather good track record on the whole evil tempting and corruption thing, so it's not like he's inheriting weakness so much as ''not'' inheriting super resistance to its influence.
** Not exactly the case, as there's a true genetic component there, he's not purely Man, he's got Elven blood in the mix, which accounts for his superior attributes such was longevity (he was 87 at the start of Fellowship, and lived to 210).
* From the 1999 movie ''[[Wing Commander (film)|Wing Commander]]'', Pilgrims.
