Line 37:
* ''[[Plunkett and Macleane]]'': The former of the two protagonists saves the latter from the gallows in a [[Awesome Moments|truly awesome scene]] with a [[Crowning Music of Awesome|truly awesome score]] to go with it.
* Subverted in the short film ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYDquzEPLsw Pyrates]''. Just as a pirate is about to be hanged, his captain and crew arrive to effect a daring rescue, {{spoiler|only to find out at the end of the film that they just wanted his part of the treasure map.}}
* ''[[Star Wars]]'':
** A classic example occurs during the trench run scene in ''[[A New Hope]]''. Just when Darth Vader has Luke's fighter in his crosshairs, the ''Millennium Falcon'' comes flying out of the sun, piloted by Han Solo, blasting one of Vader's two wingmen, surprising the last one who bumps into Vader, crashing and sending Vader spinning out of control, giving Luke a clear shot at the target needed to destroy the Death Star.
** Yoda plays the part to a T in ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'', despite [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse| not being very big at all.]]
* In ''[[District 9]]'' it looks like Wikus, in his [[Power Armor]], is going to run off and abandon Christopher to certain death. Just as Chris is about to be shot, Wikus has a [[Changed My Mind, Kid|change of heart]] and charges back in, using the alien weapons to kill the soldiers in a shower of [[Ludicrous Gibs]].
* [[The Matrix|Neo]] shows up to save Morpheus and the Keymaker toward the end of the freeway scene in ''The Matrix Reloaded''.
