Line 93:
== [[Film]] ==
* The first ''[[Back to The Future (Film)|Back to The Future]]'' movie ends this way (not necessarily a guaranteed [[Sequel Hook]], since the "To Be Continued" was added for home video releases). And then they go and continue it directly in the second movie. (The second movie also ends like this, but since they made the second and third movies ''[[Two
* ''[[The Incredibles]]'' ends with The Underminer emerging from below in a huge [[Drill Tank]], and the titular heroes about to go after him. (''[[The Incredibles]]'' isn't getting a sequel... yet, but fighting The Underminer was the premise of the second video game.)
* ''[[True Lies]]'' ends with the Taskers working together on a new mission.
Line 168:
* The end of [[Quantum Leap]] is not just [[And the Adventure Continues]], it's And The Adventure Will Never End: [[Failure Is the Only Option|"Sam Beckett never returned home."]]
* ''[[The Adventures of Brisco County Jr]]''
* The original run of ''[[
** [[The Movie]] ends much the same way, with the Doctor leaving to continue adventuring and another TARDIS malfunction.
** So does Series 5. "[[Noodle Incident|An Egyptian goddess loose on the Orient Express -]] [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE?]] Don't worry about a thing, Your Majesty. We're on our way."
Line 236:
* ''[[Dragon Age]]'' could end this way, though special mention goes to the ending if you romanced Morrigan and decide to [[I Will Find You|try to find her]]. The DLC module Witch Hunt can end with you and Morrigan [[And the Adventure Continues|stepping off into the unknown together]].
* ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' is made of this trope.
** ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]]'' somewhat less so, given, um, [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies|the nature of its ending]]. However, the expansion ''Mask of the Betrayer'' ends this way in its good endings, as does the second expansion ''Storm of Zehir''.
* A rather epic version of this happens in ''[[Alundra (Video Game)|Alundra]]'', where after destroying Melzas and saving Inoa, Alundra walks off into the proverbial sunset, only to see ominous clouds gathering over a distant valley. Heroic music starts playing as Alundra smiles and walks towards them, signifying the beginning of a new adventure.
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]]'' after the credits. "A letter from the King?" And the first installment, with the main party chasing after Pluto who is carrying another such letter.
Line 298:
** And then the sequel ends with Bernard and Bianca getting engaged and presumably going off to continue their rescue work.
* The ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police (Animation)|Sam and Max Freelance Police]]'' cartoon ended with the duo defeating their [[Rogues Gallery]], with Sam wondering worriedly now that they've dispatched their long-time nemeses, what are they going to do now. Max assures him not to worry, because there will always be a need for them and looks expectantly at the phone. Then waits some more nervously. Then he yells at the phone to ring, which it does, and Sam and Max are happy to know that their adventures continue. [[Running Gag|Then they fight each other to pick up the phone.]]
* ''[[Mighty Max]]'''s final scene appears to be a massive [[Reset Button]] until Max picks up the [[MacGuffin|Cap]] and reads the summons Virgil sent him, reminding him not to take so long [[Ripple
* "Our quest begins." -- tells us Toa Mata Nui at the end of ''[[Bionicle]]: The Legend Reborn''. A quest that involves traveling through a dangerous maze, dealing with ancient elemental warriors and finding an energy source for re-powering a dead [[Humongous Mecha]] and duking it out with another planet-sized robot that cast Mata Nui's people into slavery. A sequel was planned, but LEGO pulled the plug on Bionicle before the script could have been finalized.
* The final episode of ''[[Xiaolin Showdown (Animation)|Xiaolin Showdown]]'' ends with every member of the monks [[Rogues Gallery]] standing outside the temple, ready for another battle. The monks happily charge forward, and it's almost certain they'll win again.
Line 312:
== [[Real Life]] ==
* Most major sporting tournaments. The ''[[World Cup]]'' and the ''[[Olympic Games]]'', to name just two examples, explicitly feature "See you at [name of next tournament host]" messages as part of their closing ceremonies.
* Your life. After any major adventure, crisis, meeting, test, funeral, heartbreak, or [[Murder Arson and Jaywalking|parking ticket]] your life continues. [[Critical Existence Failure|Until you die anyway.]] Even then depending on your religion of choice you either continue in a [[New Game
** On a smaller scale, school takes a lot of years before it's out for good. After years of growing up without even noticing it, the day you graduate you realise this [[Training From Hell]] has just been the beginning. Such a way to see the first part of a whole lifetime [[Fridge Brilliance|has been used as the premise of many works of fiction.]]
