Line 41:
* ''[[District 9]]'': The whole thing unfolds in seconds: Wikus runs from the captured Christopher in the middle of the climatic battle. As Christopher is about to die he [[Changed My Mind, Kid|changes his mind]]. [[Unstoppable Rage]] meets [[Mini-Mecha]]!
* The title character in 2002's [[Roger Dodger]], 'saving' his Nephew late in the film.
* In ''[[The Magnificent Seven]]'', the eponymous seven are betrayed by a group of villagers and driven out of the town they were hired to protect. One by one, they each decide to go back, except for Harry Luck, who informs them they're all crazy and rides away. When Chris is cornered without cover during the climactic gunfight, however, Harry comes galloping in to save him.
* [[Insistent Terminology|Captain]] Jack Sparrow abandons ship just before it gets attacked by the [[Kraken and Leviathan|Kraken]]. He then changes his mind and comes back in time to fire the shot that blows up said Kraken's tentacles.
* ''[[Fright Night]]''. After Jerry Dandridge charms and kidnaps Amy, Charlie goes to Peter Vincent for help. Vincent refuses to help him because he's too scared. Later on when Charlie goes to Dandridge's house to rescue Amy, Peter shows up to help him.
Line 64:
** It seemed to be more of a miscommunication. They fully intended to help him eventually, but had other things to do first. Eiji just got impatient. (and to be fair more or less barged in on them in the first place.) They were however a bit out of practice.
* This editor called it a mile away on ''[[Roots]]'' in regards to Pettijohn refusing to stick his neck out again for Simon Haley and help save Ab Dekker.
* Avon of ''[[Blake's
* Combined with [[Conscience Makes You Go Back]] in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "The Waters of Mars". The Doctor knows that the staff of [[Stealth Pun|Bowie]] Base One are historically supposed to die by blowing up their own base to destroy the "Flood Monsters". Adelaide even lets him return to the TARDIS, but on the way there he overhears them dying and decides, just this once, to [[Screw Destiny]].
** Yet the fixed point in time - the death of the captain and the destruction of the base - is still established.
Line 80:
* {{spoiler|Zelos}} in all but one of the endings of ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' -- {{spoiler|though the 'walking out' was a faked [[Heel Face Turn]] that allowed him to get his hands on a [[MacGuffin]] the villain possessed}}. The "I changed my mind" is even said verbatim, {{spoiler|delivered to the enraged villain after he demands to know why Zelos has back-stabbed him.}}
* The final boss battle in ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'', {{spoiler|where Zeke, having previously betrayed Cole, shows up to try and redeem himself by rushing at Kessler with a pistol. He gets blasted backwards about fifty feet for his troubles without landing so much as a spitball on Kessler, but he did allow Cole the chance to recover and fight back, and it goes a long way toward repairing Cole and Zeke's friendship in the sequel.}}
* In ''[[Dragon Age 2]]'', at the end of second act, depending on your choices, {{spoiler|Isabela pulls this, and brings back the [[MacGuffin]] whose theft drove the Arishok to start the war in the first place.}} Problem solved, right? Wrong. In order to solve the problem peacefully, you must {{spoiler|turn her over to the Qunari, essentially sending her to her death.}} For those who aren't [[Ungrateful Bastard|Ungrateful Bastards]], you can alternatively {{spoiler|challenge the Arishok to a duel for her life, or fight the remaining guards and the Arishok together with her}}.
* In ''[[Corpse Party]]'', Ayumi and Yoshiki {{spoiler|are returned to the classroom by one of the ghost children as thanks for returning her tongue}}. Ayumi wants to {{spoiler|go back and save their surviving friends}}. Yoshiki, if you choose to object (or {{spoiler|allow Yuka to be caught by Kizami}}) will do so and Ayumi will {{spoiler|return alone after an argument}}. Yoshiki, however, is [[Conscience Makes You Go Back|reminded of how much his friends mean to him]] and {{spoiler|begs the ghost girl to send him back}}. When {{spoiler|he ''is'' sent back, he sends Ayumi a text to let her know he's there}}. It still leads to a Wrong End, though.
