* Audy Murphy in the beginning of ''To Hell And Back''.
* The title character in ''[[Mr. Smith Goes to Washington]]'' is a grown-up example, as well as all the boys in his [[Scout Out|"Boy Rangers"]] group.
* Often smuggled into big-budget Hollywood films set in other countries, particularly when this makes no contextual sense (See: ''[[The Three Musketeers (1993 (Filmfilm)|The Three Musketeers 1993]]'', ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Filmfilm)|The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'', etc)

* The [[Andy Hardy]] film series.
Line 45:

* Ninten from ''[[EarthMOTHER Bound Zero1]]'' and Ness from ''[[Earthbound]]'', both of whom are bat-wielding Everyman boys from a small town.
