I believe _First Blood_ and the other Rambo films don’t have any love interests.

\*Commando \*and _Predator_ don’t either.

Besides Stallone and Schwarzenegger and their egos?

Commando also had Arnold fighting for his family. That qualifies as a love interest, imo.

Could it be a case of [Genetic Sexual Attraction…?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_sexual_attraction)

This makes sense, that is, the Beatles’ movies do. What better way to encourage their numerous female fans than to not have any of the fab 4 sporting around with love interests onscreen?

But as for “Holy Grail,” do we count Sir Galahad’s being rescued from almost certain temptation in Castle Anthrax, or is that lust not love?

Plus there’s the engaged couple [del]Alice[/del] Herbert and Princess Lucky. Whose wedding set up the whole act at the castle built in the swamp. Of course, the groom seemed reluctant and perhaps the bride was in one of those olden force-to-marry since dad wanted it deals. Then the groom was replaced by Sir Lancelot later in the act. But then …

Another couple in the film is the historian that was slain and his grieving widow who brought in the coppers. Given her sorrow, I’d say there was a love interest there.

Wasn’t there a love triangle between the one woman and the much older inventor of the Oxygen Destroyer, (Serizowa?) and the Young officer? They both go down to destroy Godzilla in the bay, but Serizowa sacrifices himself.

What about that thing they called _Kung Fu Hustle_? It has been a while since I saw it last, but I am not remembering any kind of love interest angle.

Fong was Sing’s love interest, and they ended up together at the end of the movie.
