Slightly off topic, but I heard an interview with Busta Rhymes promoting Halloween 8 where he not only spoiled the fact that he doesn't die, but was actually bragging about it. Like "I'm so hard even Michael Myers can't touch me!"

What about the movie where he dies and comes back?

Or Young Guns, which he was only in for like six seconds.

At the opposite end, what about someone like Sean Bean, where you're surprised when he LIVES throughout the movie?

I think of two Woody Allen deaths:

The original ending had him die. But it was changed because during test screenings (which I was lucky to attend)
