It's interesting, but I can see it leading to much frustration when, as an overrider, you don't want it to run that before/after code.

The thing is, the developer doing the overriding generally has more information about the final system than the original - after all, the code is more specific. So taking away their power is generally problematic.

I could see it being useful if it was optional. Something like:

    class ScaryMonster extends GameObject {
      void render(Renderer renderer) {
        super(function() {
            renderer.drawImage(Images.SCARY_MONSTER);
        });
      }
    }
