This is for a TV show so I'm not sure if this is the right place to post it but it's going to drive me crazy if I don't ask somewhere. I swear this is from some '90s show, it's an episode several seasons in possibly a season finale episode. These two characters are somewhere in the woods or maybe just a wooded backyard (like filmed in Vancouver vibes), one is kind of a mentor character and the other is his student who at the beginning of the series was a fresh faced kid and now after a couple seasons has turned into kind of a angry aggressive rear end in a top hat/frenemy of his old teacher. They get into a fight and his teacher ends up killing him even though he doesn't want to. I also seen to remember feeling like the show really declined in quality once they killed off this character, and it lasted for only one more session after this episode and then was cancelled. For some reason I've had this vague recollection in my mind for decades and up until 5 minutes ago I was sure it was from the last episode in season 5 of the Highlander TV series. Now that I've watched this episode again, I'm not sure I even made it this far in the series my first time around and have absolutely no idea what show I might be remembering!

Jedit posted:I was going to say that was Highlander: the Series. Maybe you forgot that you saw it? I don't think so but I'm also really doubting my own memory at this point. I spent I don't know how many hours yesterday going through lists of shows that aired from 1980-2005 in the US and Canada looking for anything that might jog my memory. The Highlander TV ep I thought it was has a totally different setting (an abandoned mall and not in the woods), and if I remember anything about this it is mostly how I felt after watching it, it was a very sad and touching scene. The Highlander episode essentially jumped the shark and introduced some completely new concept to the show at the 11th hour and killed off a character in a way that was beyond ridiculous and not at all sentimental.

Kosmo Gallion posted:Highlander did this a lot with the mentors vs students dynamic. It could be Duncan killing his protégé Richie, but the way the characters are described doesn't really fit. Duncan gets possessed by a demon and kills Richie thinking he's Kurgan or some other big evil villain and deeply regrets what he's done. The Duncan killing Richie ep is what I thought it was, but I've been watching through the Highlander series here for the last month or so and nothing else has fit what I remembered. I've still got the last season to go but I'm feeling pretty confident that I never saw season six in the first place and that I must be remembering some other show.

Maybe one of the Kaiji live action movies?

I think that's Barefoot Gen, an equally depressing (it's autobiographical) but less well-known film about little kids surviving the Hiroshima bombing.

Alan Smithee posted:so I was looking at things going public domain and the Passion of Joan of Arc will be in 2024 I just recently saw The Legend of Billie Jean (which was shockingly great and I can't understand why I never knew it existed until recently), and they watch and make direct references to some old Joan of Arc film that's in black and white multiple times. I don't think they watch it in a theater though.

Mr Scumbag posted:I normally don't have this problem but I just got a flash of a relatively new movie that either ends or has a part where the protagonist attacks (I think) the president's cabin for reasons I can't remember and there's a scene where (again, I think) a high level member of government takes his daughter down into the bunker below the cabin with him but she realizes he's one of the bad guys and abandons him/leaves the bunker. I think he dies as a result but she survives? Olympus Has Fallen maybe?

This doesn't really fit most of what you describe but: Annihilation?
