Yandere/Film: Difference between revisions

* "Big Brother Ma" from the 2008 Chinese film ''[[Butterfly Lovers]].'' At first you think he's just going to be the [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] of the tale. [[It Got Worse|And then the plot ensues...]]

* Debbie Jellinsky from ''[[The Addams Family|Addams Family Values]]'', who earned the nickname "Black Widow" for murdering husbands who were too busy to give her the love she needed (it doesn't help that she, being a [[Gold Digger|materialistic woman]], likes to marry men who have a lot of money, who usually have to work around the clock).

** She also murdered her family via burning her house down for [[Disproportionate Retribution|''getting her the wrong Barbie doll'']]. Of course, being ''The Addams Family'', the whole thing is played for laughs.

* The [[Flying Brick]] title character of ''My Super Ex-Girlfriend'' vows to destroy the protagonist's life after he breaks up with her. One memorable scene had her throw a shark into the bedroom of his new girlfriend after spending the night with her.

** It's made explicit that the reason she's there is that Cobb can't let her go even though she's crazy, dead, and a serious danger to everyone, so this trope applies to both of them.

* The Duke from the 2001 film version of ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'':

'''Zidler:''' ''(Totally freaked out)'' I... understand... completely... Duke. }}

* Princess Kaede in ''[[Ran]]'' behaves like a yandere in many ways, but it's all (or at least mostly) an act. That is, the part in which she is madly in love with Jiro. The part in which she orders all competition killed and wants to murder him is real however.

* The 2009 film ''Crush'' features a supernatural version of this trope. . . . in the last 12 minutes. One that can actually shoot Hadoukens. And she succeeds in the end.

* The 2011 thriller ''[[The Roommate]]'' has one .

** The writer of this film is currently writing another [[Yandere]] film, Crush.

* Of all people, the ''Spirit of Christmas Present'' becomes a Yandere in ''Scrooged''.
