Quite a few horror and action flicks play on this old trick. The main characters believe the main villain or all bad guys are dead. Just as they and the audience feels safe, POW! The bad guy pops up, ready for round two. Sometimes, this round ends with a quick roundhouse or bullet. Other times, the excitement goes on to bring even more thrills.
