* 7 is the only female ragdoll in ''[[9
** They were made from the brain essence of a man, so it's surprising there are ANY females among them.
** Made fun of in [http://mad-but-happy.deviantart.com/art/Pick-of-the-Litter-140004585 this] comic.
Line 165:
** In the British Godzilla knock-off ''[[Gorgo]]'', the ''monster'' (the big one at least) is female, but there are no female human characters ''at all''. In the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' version, this made it difficult for the bots to complete their "Women of Gorgo" calendar.
* ''Bimbos in Time'' inverts this by having only one male character in the hero team (referred to as "the male Bimbo"); indeed, the only other male character with a major role in the story is the villain.
* Dorothy Lamour in the [[Bob Hope]]/[[Bing Crosby]] "[[Road To|Road]]" movies (''[[Road to Morocco]]'', etc). [[Roger Ebert]] referred to "[[Dorothy Lamour Syndrome]]" in his Little Movie Glossary; when two men and one woman have a dialogue in a movie, the woman is usually reduced to looking back and forth between the two men as they talk. Lamour had an excuse, as Hope and Crosby were frequently off-script and adlibbing.
* ''[[Ocean's Eleven]]'' and, for that matter, essentially every crime movie with an ensemble cast.
** The second movie averts it by bringing in Catherine-Zeta Jones, and the third movie plays it straight by dropping [[Julia Roberts]] and Jones and bringing in Ellen Barkin. It should be noted that all three of these women were a love interest for one of the main (male) characters.
Line 192:
* In ''[[Mystery Men]]'', The Bowler.
* The [[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]] don't have many female agents.
