Might you be thinking of Street Fighter , with Jean-Claude Van Damme? He’s just finished beating up some bad guys, turns around, and sees a truckload more bad guys after him.
All he has left is a small Gerber combat knife (3 1/2 to 4 inches long) He pulls the knife, and all the bad guys start backing away from him in preperation to run.
He gets this huge smirk on his face, and you just know he is thinking that he is so tough that they are afraid to face him, even when all he has is a knife.
Then he turns around and sees the calvary is standing right behind him with enough weapons to take out about half the planet. A silly, but amusing scene.
Oh hell no. No J-CVD in this house.
Dammit, I am trying to think of what movie it is, where the bad guys turn and run away, not because the hero is so tough or frightening, but because of what is coming up behind the hero! It’s probably been used a bunch of times, but I can’t come up with one yet…
The U.N. doesn’t look too kindly on…MONSTERS!

The Bear; the cub is being tracked by a mountain lion, and when the helpless cub is finally cornered, he stops whimpering and begins growling/screaming. The mountain lion, heretofore unimpressed with the cub’s squalling, turns and flees.
Camera slowly pulls back and pans to reveal the freaking huge Grizzly! ™ about 20 feet behind the cub, in full-out “I-Outweigh-You-5-to-1-And-Can-Break-You-Like-A-Twig-Little-Kitty-Cat!” battle roar mode.

Did this happen in one (or more) of the Indiana Jones movies?
Madmartigan. The only good thing about that movie.
If only Val Kilmer weren’t such a bastard to work with, the world would have better movies…
