* [[Gina Gershon]] plays a butch lesbian in ''[[Bound]]'', though she's a mild case and more of a simple tomboy. Gershon said she modeled herself after [[James Dean]]. [[The Wachowskis|Larry Wachowski (now Lana Wachowski)]] included a few of details of lesbian culture into the film. For example, Gershon sports a [[w:Labrys|labrys]] tattoo, which is a symbol of lesbianism and feminine strength. Interestingly, the script apparently intended for Gershon's character to look more masculine. Joe Pantoliano's character mistakes her for a man in dim light, which really isn't plausible in the final film.
* ''[[The Boondock Saints]]'' had an incident of this in the opening credits of the film: though Rosengurtle Baumgartner's sexuality is never brought up, her attire and mannerisms (and subsequent kicking of one of the brothers in the crotch for cracking jokes about her 'Rule of Thumb' rant) solidify her as a member of this trope.
** Said character has a tattoo on her neck that reads 'untouched by man'.
