Just a random thought that crossed my mind, its not uncommon to have a one-on-one fight scene where one character is preventing another from achieving an objective. Naturally to solve this impasse they must engage in a little of the old ultraviolence.
I was wondering if instead while circling each other warily preparing for combat one character has suddenly made a break for it, the other character pauses in surprise, “Hey!”, then takes off after them.
It would play quite well in a comedy I imagine but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this happen before. Though I’m pretty sure it must have happened in some media at some point.
To show what I mean, without the unexpected ending this is the sort of scene I mean (from Ghost in the Shell, caution, violence)
