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.

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
