This is not the case. It's a movie-misconception. Sauron was defeated as Gil-galad and Elendil were slain. Isildur cut the Ring from a limp body:

But at the last the siege was so strait that Sauron himself came forth; and he wrestled with Gil-galad and Elendil, and they both were slain, and the sword of Elendil broke under him as he fell. But Sauron also was thrown down, and with the hilt-shard of Narsil Isildur cut the Ruling Ring from the hand of Sauron and took it for his own.
