Conveniently-Timed Attack From Behind: Difference between revisions

* An extreme example occurs in the ''[[Judge Dredd]]'' movie, where this trope occurs not once, but twice ''in the same scene.'' During the confrontation with the desert cannibals. Toward the end of the fight, Dredd is about to be speared by the patriarch of the cannibal clan, when the bad guy is [[Conveniently-Timed Attack From Behind|killed by a shot from]] the "cleanup team" sent to make sure that Dredd didn't survive. After the ensuing shoot-out, Dredd is again cornered only to have his attacker shotgunned by Judge Fargo, Dredd's mentor. Fargo is then literally skewered seconds later after saying hello by the cyborg cannibal.
