One twist that took me completely--and I mean COMPLETELY--by surprise was in the original "Jumanji" with Robin Williams. The last thing that I expected in this movie was time travel, and yet that's exactly what happens--returning both Williams' and Bonnie Hunt's characters (Alan and Sarah) to their childhood state back in 1969. The hint of this outcome is made ever so subtly, with the Jumanji game rules stating that once the game is completed, everything will go back to the way it was. Since this particular game was started by Alan and Sarah in 1969 before eventually being continued by Judy (Kirsten Dunst) and her brother Peter in the 90s, that's exactly what happens. In this case, going "back to the way it was" means rewinding time to the state that the players were in when the game actually started. This has the added benefit of allowing Alan and Sarah to prevent the deaths of Judy and Peter's parents, since they learned of this tragedy during the gameplay before the time-rewind. Amazing!
Honestly, I'm surprised "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" isn't on this list. When they met Judge Doom, Val asked how he became become the law of Toontown and was told he bought the election with a specific currency. Then, when Val tells Roger how he lost his brother, it was after a robbery of a specific currency.
No, what gives away the twist in DK Rises is Alfred’s story about hoping to see Bruce in a cafe and how obvious Nolan filmed Alfred’s imagining of the scene 🤣🤣🤣
I've always liked the fact that in an early scene in "No Way Out" Kevin Costner's character orders a Stolichnaya vodka -- i.e. a Russian brand -- at a reception.
When my brother was watching FIGHT CLUB, I leaned down and said "check out the ying-yang" and went home,90 minutes later he calls me and spent 20 minutes swearing at me for ruining his life and how he's going to put laxatives & sleeping pills in every one of my drinks he can, when he *FINALLY* stopped to take a breath... ME: WHO IS THIS?!🤪😹
@@jamesonp3873 thank you! I mean we still talk and joke about this, it wasn't even a question, we had cell phones and caller ID, I looked at my phone and said "AND...HERE...WE ...GO!*🃏🤪😹
The Usual Suspects gave away the twist by having Söze playing with the lighter with the same hand Kint is supposed to have problems with. I saw that and never doubted for a second who Söze was because of what a big deal the shot made out of it.
The bathroom scene in Reservoir Dogs has jars of pink and white soap beside each other, while the orange soap is on the opposite side of the shelf. Another little hint.
The Lost Boys. Sam spells the whole thing out in a conversation with the Frog brothers, and the audience is led to believe he got it completely wrong when he was 100% correct.
Regarding the Star Wars bit, that was entirely a coincidence. Lucas changed the story to make Vader Luke's father after the first movie was already out. He originally intended for Anakin and Vader were to be two different people the way Obi-won described it in the first film. He like to rewrite history and claim he had the whole thing planned out but he didn't.
How can you not mention The Usual Suspects? The clues are all there if you look for em! This should’ve gotten number one. It wasn’t the I won’t bury you line that gave away the dark knight rises! It was Alfred’s fantasy that gave it away. Describing in detail exactly how it was gonna end.
Um . . . every character in Oz has an equivalent that is met by Dorothy in Kansas. I'm not sure that that actually was giving away the twist. Um . . . When Lucas wrot the first Star Wars movie, he didn't actually mean to have Darth Vader be Luke's father. The Dutch translation for "vader" was just a coincidence. Um . . . Leonard is not seeking himself for killing his wife; he really was seeking Jimmy G. One twist is that he killed the man (Jimmy G) who was responsible for everything long ago, but deliberately removed all evidence. However, yeah, the fact that Leonard is really Sammy in the insulin anecdote is a twist. Um . . . The best twist is in "The Sixth Sense"; its twist is revealed early when the kid tells Bruce WIllis that the dead people seen by the kid don't know their dead! :-)
It had some real moments. The retirement of Batman in the beginning, Catwoman done realistically, capturing of Gotham, Bane breaking Batman and Gordon. It just had a silly intro, plot twist, and excuse for Batman to recover from his first failure.
Your Darth Vader twist is complete crap. The Luke and Vader connection didn’t occur until ESB. Lucas during Star Wars didn’t have that connection. Heck he didn’t decide to make Luke and Leia related until Jedi. He was pretty much making it up as he went.
ME: I CAN'T wait to see THE VILLAGE FRIEND: Weren't you amazed to find out that... ME: NO! I JUST told you I hadn't seen it yet you dumbass! So now I text him after every big movie and tell him that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father!🤪😹

The thing (1982) should be on this list, the nature of the thing is given away in first scene, if you speak Norwegian 😊

The Sting with Robert Redford u guys really need to start digging deeper into the movie library besides up to the 80s more then half the time.

You can also see in Fight Club that the pay phone Jack uses to call Tyler was out of service.

@patrickdoyle6201 Well played. 😂

The Jurassic Park foreshadowing was ingenious. Holy crap.
I usually feel underwhelmed by twist endings... 'none of this is real...who gives a f***?'

Hey the seat buckle thing- clearly Grant had some troubles but I never actually realised what they are saying

Shaun Of The Dead Should Be On The List
Sometimes it's entertaining to see in how many different ways you can resell your Star Wars/Trek/Batman/Terminator and all the usual suspects.
Regarding the Star Wars bit, that was entirely a coincidence. Lucas changed the story to make Vader Luke's father after the first movie was already out. He originally intended for Anakin and Vader were to be two different people the way Obi-won described it in the first film.

It's worse than that, the first person to call him "Vader" is Leia.
They don't show who's playing the Wizard of Oz until after he's revealed as a fake. I don't think they ever hint he's a fake
Um . . . every character in Oz has an equivalent that is met by Dorothy in Kansas. I'm not sure that that actually was giving away the twist.
Um . . . When Lucas wrot the first Star Wars movie, he didn't actually mean to have Darth Vader be Luke's father. The Dutch translation for "vader" was just a coincidence.

how is THE DARK KNIGHT RISES a 'genius movie'?
Anything that gets people to forget about the Joel Schumacker Bane is genius, by definition.
It had some real moments. The retirement of Batman in the beginning, Catwoman done realistically, capturing of Gotham, Bane breaking Batman and Gordon. It just had a silly intro, plot twist, and excuse for Batman to recover from his first failure.
Except as the person GETTING the insulin; why didn't the wife know he was giving her too much?
She did. Have you never seen the movie??
She did. She was tired and used him to commit suicide.
The Darth Vader is bullshit
Your Darth Vader twist is complete crap. The Luke and Vader connection didn’t occur until ESB. Lucas during Star Wars didn’t have that connection. Heck he didn’t decide to make Luke and Leia related until Jedi. He was pretty much making it up as he went.
The greatest twist ever spoiled for me was when a friend blabbered about The Sixth Sense's ending.
ME: I CAN'T wait to see THE VILLAGE
FRIEND: Weren't you amazed to find out that...
ME: NO! I JUST told you I hadn't seen it yet you dumbass!
So now I text him after every big movie and tell him that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father!🤪😹
USUSAL SUSPECTS - besides Verbal holding his cigarette like a Middle-Easterner, not Americans or Europeans do, in Turkish "Soze" means "Verbal"!
