500 Days of Summer (2009) fails the Ko test with 2 out of 3 of the criteria observed. The dialogue of every person of color, regardless of gender (as all were very minor roles), totaled to about 30 seconds throughout the 1h35m run time.
| There is a non-white, female identifying person in the film | Pass |
| Who speaks in five or more scenes | Fail |
| And speaks English | Pass |
