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


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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 😳

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


Most unpopular character action ever - until Cecil got murdered.

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

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
