* ''[[Superman]]'' movies tend to depend on at least one of [[Lex Luthor]]'s henchmen being this; Eve Teschmacher (''[[Superman (film)|Superman]]'') and Kitty Kowalski (''[[Superman Returns]]'') [[High Heel Face Turn|~~being~~ the most noteworthy examples]].

* Whitey, the large albino rat from ''[[Flushed Away]]'', who comes across more as a [[Gentle Giant]] than anything.

* Non-comedic example, Rolfe from ''[[The Sound of Music]]''; clearly he doesn't have what it takes to be one of [[Those Wacky Nazis]], the Captain managing to talk him into submission. Sadly also a case of [[Redemption Rejection]], as he still sounds an alarm.

* Non-comedic example in Rolfe from ''[[The Sound of Music]]'' - clearly he doesn't have what it takes to be one of [[Those Wacky Nazis]], with the Captain managing to talk him into submission. Sadly also a case of [[Redemption Rejection]], as he still sounds an alarm.

* Fezzik, from ''[[The Princess Bride (film)|The Princess Bride]]''.

Line 38:

'''Vizzini:''' Pick up one of those rocks, get behind a boulder, in a few minutes the man in black will come running around the bend, the minute his head is in view, ''hit it with the rock!''

'''Fezzik:''' My way is not very sportsman-like. }}

* Zangief from ''[[Street Fighter (film)|Street Fighter]]'' probably fits this. He has a [[Heel Face Turn]] when ~~someone~~ informs him that Bison is the bad guy.

* Zangief from ''[[Street Fighter (film)|Street Fighter]]'' probably fits this- he legitimately thought that General Bison was the ''good'' guy, and that the forces of evil and oppression were against him because of it. He has a [[Heel Face Turn]] when Dee Jay informs him that Bison is the bad guy.

** ~~It was Deejay.~~ And why was Deejay evil? In his own words "because I'm being paid a damn fortune!". Zangief wasn't paid like Deejay ~~was~~ ~~causing~~ his turn.

** And why was Deejay evil? In his own words, [[Punch Clock Villain|"because I'm being paid a damn fortune!"]] Zangief wasn't paid like Deejay, which helped fuel his turn, and Dee Jay himself [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|jumps ship]] during Bison's [[Last Stand]].

* In ''[[The Muppet Movie]]'', Doc Hopper's assistant Max warned Kermit about Hopper's plans.

*** Not quite - he legitimately thought that General Bison was the ''good'' guy, and that the forces of evil and oppression were against him because of it.

** This has become Bobo the Bear's schtick post-''[[Muppets Tonight]]''. He's a F-grade minion to [[The Men in Black|K. Edgar Singer]] in ''[[Muppets from Space]]''; [[Overreacting Airport Security|Officer Frank Meany]] in ''[[A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa]]''; and to [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Tex Richman]] in ''[[The Muppets (film)|The Muppets]]''.

* Administrative Assistant Bob from ''[[Demolition Man]]'' isn't actively evil... he's just trying to help out whoever is in charge. (It's his job to help, after all.) This is why he can go from working for [[The Chessmaster|Doctor Raymond Cocteau]] to working for [[Card-Carrying Villain|Simon Phoenix]] to working for [[Rebellious Spirit|Edgar Friendly]] without once ever batting an eye.

* Dug in ''[[Up (animation)|Up]]'' before his [[Heel Face Turn]]

* Hopper's brother Molt in ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]''. While Hopper is malicious, cunning and depraved, Molt is... not.

Line 50:

* From ''[[The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'': Drake Stone, an arrogant Morganian turned celebrity illusionist, is recruited by Horvath to release Morgana, but he never does anything ''that'' evil. It's pretty clear that Drake starts to feel incredibly uncomfortable with the consequences of his actions, especially when Horvath implies that children will die for his cause.

* Evil's assistants in ''[[Time Bandits]]'' are all pretty dim and full of useless suggestions.

* Mr. Smee from Disney's ''[[Peter Pan (Disney film)|Peter Pan]]'' seems pretty evil, he's just... too dumb to act on it, and is likely the henchman who came the closest to killing his own boss, accidentally shooting poor Captain Hook while aiming for Peter. Even worse, Hook wasn't dead~~, of course,~~ and tried to sneak up behind Peter to ambush him, only for Smee to start cheering for Hook and give him away. He's gullible too, ~~and~~ easily falls for Peter imitating Hook's voice, nearly blowing their attempt to nab Tiger Lily, ~~undoubtedly~~ ~~being~~ the one most at fault when they ''do'' blow it.
