Tsundere/Film: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* Helvetica Black from the [[Robert Rodriguez]] kids' film ''Shorts''. Let's see: female bully whose main target is her love interest? Check. "I'm not helping you because I like you or anything"? Check. Freakin' ''[[Girlish Pigtails|twintails]]''? Check, check, check.

* [[Star Wars|Princess Leia]], especially with [[Loveable Rogue]] Han Solo.

* Reepicheep in the film version of ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia|The Voyage of the Dawn Treader]]'' has definite tendencies here, as most of the time he is an overexcited and combative sort but shows a much nicer side when Eustace has an attack of depression after being turned into a dragon.

* Tracy Lord in ''[[The Philadelphia Story]]''.

* The Spirit of Christmas Present as played in ''Scrooged'' by Carol Kane.

* Prudence Perkins and Patience "Sidewinder" Barton in ''[[Support Your Local Sheriff]]'' and ''[[Support Your Local Gunfighter]]'' respectively. Both are hot-tempered women who almost instantly latch onto James Garner's two characters as potential mates. One notable difference between them is that Prudence is a much better shot.

* A bit of ''[[Foe Yay]]'' is induced in the film version of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, since one of Zaphod's heads seems to generally like Aurthur (even complementing him and not saying much bad about him), while his second head threatens to pull out his spleen and rips on him constantly. This is somewhat lost in the book since both heads think the same way and both generally hate him.

** Or rather, it was never there to be lost in the first place, since the book came first.

* Gru from ''[[Despicable Me]],'' though he's not a love interest, he's a father-figure.

* EVE from ''[[WALL-E]]'' is a non-human example. She helpfully illustrates why you do ''not'' give one of these ladies a plasma cannon.

 

 

* [[Star Wars|Princess Leia Organa]] has some traits of a type B.

 

 

* The Landlady from ''[[Kung Fu Hustle]]''. Well, more like a cranky old woman very early on, getting pissed off at the residents complaining about the lack of amenities and [[Make Me Wanna Shout|screaming]] ''[[Make Me Wanna Shout|really]]'' [[Make Me Wanna Shout|loud]] for them to all shut up (and it's later a [[Plot Point]]), not to mention slapping the crap out of her husband whenever he hits on a bucktoothed resident lady of the complex. But, she's shown to be protective and not a jerk later on in the movie.

** Though she may have had reason for suspecting him, since he has apparently {{spoiler|spied on women in the showers, which is mentioned early on}}, and the character of Rabbit-Tooth Jane, as the buck-toothed girl was known (for obvious reasons) was a Lady of the Night.

* This troper guesses that [[Star Wars|Leia]] counts, since she's listed above under both A and B.

* In the 1996 film version of Jane Austen's ''Emma'', the title character finally realizes she is [[Childhood Friend Romance|in love with her lifelong friend Mr. Knightley]], but wavers back and forth, repeatedly saying "I hate John!", then "I love John!" and takes a long time to decide whether to pursue marrying him. This troper is unsure whether she would be classified as a Type A or Type B, however; as Emma is very attached to and jealous (possessive?) of Mr. Knightley, but completely opposed to a romantic attachment between them for much of the film.
