Any films or dramas that have had one of those "wow didn't see that coming" moments

[soyamocha3]

I was chatting to some friends and we ended up discussing surprise moments in flims/dramas, so I just wondered if anyone else wanted to share any.

The following were surprise moments for me

The Killing Series 1 (Danish one) - when Lund turns around and see "Sara 84" on Vaugen's sweatshirt

Sixth Sense - when you realise the character of Bruce Willis was dead all long

Manor des Source - when Cesar realises he caused the death of the son he did not know he had

Au wiedersehen Pet - when Oz gets up on stage and starts singing really well to the surprise of his friends (and me!)

Care to share?

The last episode of the first series of Broadchurch wher David Tennants character was walking towards the murderers house. We don't know which one it will be and its the combo of him walking trepeditiously down the road and through the house to the garage and then comes face to face .... Tingle down the spine. Series 2 didn't match up.

Bad Taste.

When the guy leans back against a door in a house where he's hiding, thinking he's escaped the mutant aliens, then a chainsaw pushes through the door from behind - appearing through the front of his face and sawing him in two up and down the middle.

Banished.

Thurs nights final episode. I won't say what happened as it's a bit soon for spoilers.

Wow. So moving and so emotional. The best drama I've seen in ages.

I went to the loo during the crucial reveal moment in The Crying Game and when I got back and asked my husband if anything important had happened I didn't believe his answer.

The last few minutes of Kyohansha a Japanese drama, the term WTF came to mind when it was first broadcast..

[Otta]

Twin Peaks.

Oh no wait, that was basically all of it.

[Jeremy]

Dead Mans Shoes. Well.. I didn't see the twist coming anyway.

[soyamocha3]

Thanks for taking the time to share. It was interesting to see what others said.

Another two that I forgot to mention were the endings of the films "Leon" and "The Usual Suspects" - both endings came as a surprise to me.

[Jeremy]

The original Planet of the Apes is surely one of the all time classic twist endings..

[Dopamine1979]

The Mouse Trap (play)

By the way you might want to put 'Spoiler alert' in the thread title.

[soyamocha3]

Good idea - I am on the case.... !

[LadyNorwood]

Silver Dream Racer with David Essex - whole cinema sat in silent shock (wow, I'm showing my age)....

[Otta]

One that springs to mind is Memento.

[Callie]

yes, the little girl being burnt alive on the stake in Game of Thrones - I thought she would be rescued by someone from this horrific death but she wasn't! :(

[*Bob*]

No, I wouldn't have seen that one coming, Callie.

I can't wait to see when it does though. It will be such a surprise.

[Jeremy]

Sixth Sense when you find out Bruce is dead.

Except that it's bloody obvious all along.

[????]

Yup. Me too Jeremy - within 10 minutes or so....

About 12 years ago took a friend to see the digitally remastered release of Alien

Really didn't expect my friend to jump up in the air throwing popcorn everywhere and screaming like a little girlie when the Alien pops out of the chest.

He claimed he had seen it before but .... No excuse really is there 😳

The Passion of the Christ .... he dies in the end.

This easter we are celebrating with planks and nails, not chicks and bunnies !

Twitter went into meltdown when that happened (won't repeat)

Most unpopular character action ever - until Cecil got murdered.

[Otta]

It was completely gratuitous and was not remotely necessary for the furtherment of the story.

It's a bit too late to complain about gratuity with GOT - it's been torture-porn and muff-shots all the way.

[Otta]

Agree and we often fast forward through the torture bits. But this was a step too far.
