Victor,

Or: Второй ветер в ломается третьем акте..

I agree, the idea of "apparent defeat" in which the hero appears to have lost- but then makes a miraculous return to win the battle- is insanely over-done.

There are times when someone makes these kind of recoveries and it seems pluasible, but not the way shown. I notice that in videos of real fights, one or two punches and the fights are usually done, but in the movies these guys go at it for ten minutes and-

Cliche 35: The hero is in a big fight and the hero is not cut, swollen, or bruised in a way that makes them unattractive- if at all. An "hour" later there is often hardly a mark on them.

Cheers,

Bam
