* ''[[Kill Bill]]'' has the Bride being [[Left for Dead]] after a truly vicious [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]] courtesy of her four former partners, followed by a bullet in the head from Bill himself. She survives the entire thing, though it takes her four years of lying in a coma to recover from the ordeal.
** ''Kill Bill 2'' likewise features the Bride being [[Left for Dead]] -- ''literally'', by being [[Buried Alive]] in an actual grave and coffin... apparently ''many, many'' more than 6 feet underground; but she is somehow able to break out of her coffin and burrow upwards through apparently 20-30 fee of solid earth, to come back and [[Kill Bill]].
* Inverted in ''[[The Matrix]]''. Smith empties more or less an entire magazine from his Desert Eagle into Neo's chest before checking he's dead and leaving. THEN Neo gets back up and hands Smith his ass, marking the point at which he becomes [[The Messiah|the one]].
Line 69:
* Season 1 finale of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': The Master catches Buffy deep in his subterranean vampire lair, drains her, and dumps her face-first in a pool. What more needs to be done? Besides making sure Xander doesn't man up, go into an underground vamp playpen, and perform CPR on the Buffster, that is. The Master lives to regret it. About half an hour.
** In fairness to the Master, she ''was'' dead, just not brain dead.
* In ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', the Doctor is [[Left for Dead]] by an bloodsucking alien after she drained his blood. She was unaware that the Doctor possesses [[Bizarre Alien Biology|a dual vascular system]], so in fact she'd only gotten half his blood, leaving him weakened but ready to pop up and save the day.

Line 104:
** Simba was supposed to have been finished off by the hyenas, but they blundered this (as usual) -- and of course weren't going to tell Scar about their failure.
* Peter Griffin's fights with the giant chicken in ''[[Family Guy]]'' end with Peter finally triumphing over the chicken and leaving. Then the camera zooms in and the chicken opens one eye over a [[Sting]].
** Peter never thinks to wring its neck and make a chicken dinner (though they did make peace and [[Go -Karting With Bowser|have dinner together]] at one point, but [[Here We Go Again|then they started fighting over the check]]).
* Morto does this after a round with the titular hero in ''Birdman''.
* A parody of ''[[Kill Bill]]'' in ''[[Drawn Together]]'' Season 2, when Wooldor Sockbat is likewise buried in a coffin, and is likewise able to escape ala the video game ''Dig Dug''. One character responds "THAT requires no further explanation!" to underscore how it's never explained how the Bride's feat was possible, since her martial arts training had never involved being a human oil-drill.
