"Why Won't You Die!?"

[Feraud]

Ravenous with Guy Pearce and Jeffrey Jones has at least one character who was thought dead. AND a pretty good musical score!

An awesome movie!!

You beat me to that one. But at least Feraud is mad at you and not me

Who me? Mad? Nah.. I was just pulling SinatraStyle's leg.

Are you kidding me?? I just rented this movie and was planning on watching it!!! The next thing you are going to tell me is the gal from The Crying Game is really a guy.

Same thing happened to me with Usual Suspects. Never seen it. I know then end. Therefore no point.

 

[Trampilot]

how about some more in which a character was thought to be dead, but returns later in the film? They weren't killed after all.

Laura (1944 Otto Preminger)?

I saw a crappy Sci Fi film starring Klaus Kinski called Galaxy of Terror. A female character disappears halfway through the film and then later reappears saying she got lost. Utter rubbish!

There's a lot of good movie-ing between the beginning and end of that film. The "gotcha" is cool but the film would have been fine without it. Like the fact that "Rosebud" was the sled in Citizen Kane. The movie doesn't hang on the revelation.

Good cast that worked well together, some nice capers and good shootouts.

Each of those franchises passed "almost ridiculous" about 5 sequels ago.

Couldn't agree more! Why won't those franchises die?!

How about Romeo and Juilet?

Romeo AND Juliet were supposedly dead from two points in the story, when Romeo is banished from Verona, and when Juilet takes the sleep potion from Friar Lawrence, but both turned out to be alive later, and in the end, die anyways.

Identity might qualify here in a roundabout way...

Just watch it anyways...even though someone in here gave the whole plot away It really is a good movie

I was just kidding back there and making a joke about movie spoilers. I did see it at the theater and liked it.
I admit to not expecting "the twist" at the end.

This scene comes to mind:

[NRay]

In Alfred Hitchcock's "The Lady Vanishes" an elderly lady jumps off a train and gets gunned down while trying to flee for her life. Or does she? At the end of the movie, she shows up again, presumably unscathed by the barrage of heavy gunfire.

Obvious: Everyone thinks Hooper's dead until he pops up at the end of Jaws.

And of course, there's this little MST3K gem where a character dies in one scene and returns to work in the next... purely unintentional lol
