*** ''[[Halloween (film)|Halloween]] 5'': At the beginning (yes, these two were consecutive too) he swims away and is taken in by a vagrant, who helps him recuperate. The end is [[Mind Screw|even weirder than that]], but it involves lots of bullets and no plot resolution.

*** ''[[Halloween (film)|Halloween]] 6'': At the end, Michael is stabbed with about a dozen syringes containing something that looks like ''antifreeze'' and it beaten over the head with a lead pipe '''until green slime is oozing out of every hole in his face.'''

** He is most likely ''not'' alive today, because in ''[[Halloween Ends]]'', Michael's legs are crushed, he is stabbed multiple times in the chest, his throat and wrists are slit, his arms are broken, and finally, what's left of him is mulched by a car shredder. It seems ''finally'' due to Defying this Trope, the dreaded killer of this franchise has (as the title infers) been [[Killed Off For Real]].
** [[Word of God]] [[Retcon|eventually]] [[Ass Pull|declared]] that the villain isn't really Michael Meyers - it's pure evil in his form. Kill it all you like, it'll wake up eventually. There's a reason Michael's actor is always credited as playing "The Shape".

* In ''[[Red Eye (film)|Red Eye]]'', the protagonist continually tries to run away after a single blow. She succeeded in slowing him down temporarily, but that's all.
