* In ''Film/TheKarateKid2010'' remake, when Dre and his mother move into their apartment in China, Dre meets a blond boy who befriends him. You can see him cheering on Dre alongside Dre's mom and the LoveInterest at the final tournament. He still makes no appearances between his initial introduction and appearing at the tournament, making many wonder where he was, as well as causing some mild surprise at seeing him appear again. He may be an {{Expy}} of the neighbour in the original film, who makes friends with Daniel based on Daniel's assumed "cool" and knowledge of "karate." When Daniel gets beaten up at the beach, the neighbour loses interest. Likewise, when Dre gets beaten up in the park, the blond kid, who is also friends with the bully, stops talking to him. He may have been at the tournament to cheer on the bully but switched allegiance when Dre started winning.

*** The implication is clearly that he recognised "Moody" as his son in disguise and was killed to stop him telling anyone: The last time we see him alive, he stares hard at "Moody" in shock and then hurries away. (The intention was for him to have recognised "Moody" flicking his tongue as a CharacterTic of Barty Jr., but you pretty much need to be told that to realise it.)

* ''Film/TheClassic'': Joo-hee keeps the firefly that Joon-ha caught for her, but it doesn't show up again after Joo-hee mentions to Joon-ha that it's still healthy. Presumably it died, due to fireflies' short lifespans. [[spoiler:A more major example is So-kyeung; she never appears again after Sang-min breaks up with her at the play, and her reaction to Ji-hye and Sang-min's relationship is not shown.]]

** ''Film/JurassicPark''
*** In [[Film/JurassicPark the first film]] you never know what happened to the stolen embryos: They are last seen being rapidly buried in the mud; the subplot involving [=InGen's=] rival company [=BioSyn=] and its attempt to seize the dinosaur embryos as well as its sleazy representative, Lewis Dodgson, also disappear in the sequels (although they were the major antagonists in [[Literature/TheLostWorld1995 the sequel novel]], they were left out of [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark the movie adaptation]]). Since the embryos only had a few hours of coolant, it's presumed that they rotted. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools At least]] their ambiguous fate provided some handy fuel for the [[VideoGame/JurassicParkTheGame tie-in video game]] (which is confirmed canon, if with some {{Continuity Snarl}}s).
*** We never hear of the sick ''Triceratops'' after her scene, nor do we find out why she got sick in the first place. [[Literature/JurassicPark The novel]] [[AllThereInTheManual explained that]] [[spoiler: while the [[AdaptationSpeciesChange stegosaurus]] wasn't actively eating the poisonous berries, she ''was'' swallowing pebbles (to aid digestion, they're called gastroliths); the berries which fell off their bushes left enough residue to sicken her.]] This was dropped from the film (possibly due to time constraints). Instead you hear that it was NOT the poisonous plants, which leaves the poor triceratops' fate unknown.

** A minor antagonist in the first Film/{{Transformers}} movie named Barricade stops showing up during build-up to the finale and is never mentioned again for the rest of the film.

And then he miraculously shows up, alive and well, in ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight''[[/note]]
