Bolivian Army Ending

Kirk-Picard
• Created 2 days ago
A Bolivian Army Ending is an Ending Trope that occurs when the main characters face seemingly insurmountable odds which, for once, the main characters seem unable to surmount.

*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****

The trope is named for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which ends with the two heroes apparently surrounded by the entire Bolivian army. They could surrender, but instead they choose to come out all guns blazing. The film ends just as they do so, and we never see them die

Which film which has a variation of such an ending is your favorite?
