MKoments that took you by surprise

What parts in movies or tv shows (or books, whatever) hit you like a ton of bricks? BAsically, you never saw it coming and it just knocks you on your ass.(warning, MANY possible spoilers here)


Here are a few for me:




American History X:
Danny is in the bathroom and the black kid he pissed off comes in behind him and points a gun at him. Then the little fucker shoots him 3 times point blank in the chest.... I get cold and numb every time i see that... And he has a look of shock on his face, like he didnt actually expect to kill him.


The end of "The Usual Suspects".. the first time i saw it, when Verbal is Limping.. then starts to wwalk and streches out his hand i literally said "Holy shit!" outloud in the theater...


The same with the end of Se7en. "Oh C'mon! Whats in the fucking box?!"

"I just told you...."

Godamn.. that still gives me chills.

Cool Question - I'd say three:

1) Old-school: I remember nearly shitting myself at the end of Friday the 13th (the first one) when the deformed kid lunges up out of the water. (indeed, I may have let a little slip out!!!!)

2) New-school (sort of): The Crying Game. Everyone I knew had seen the movie when they took me and I could feel them all watching me (and I was desperately trying to figure out what the twist was) - needless to say I didn't think it would be, uh, sticking right out at me!!

3) Literary: I still get goose bumps at the end of Stephen King's The Stand when the blue electric ball turns into the hand of God and blows them all up.

If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about, If you haven't you'll know when/if you see it.

don't want to give anything away.

The Last Samaurai: Who would have known..a movie where Tom Cruise plays a warrior in Japan was good :confused: :confused:

[The_Return]

Oh god....The Forgotten. Wasnt the greatest movie, but it sure had some surprises....the car crash espicially. After that, I was expecting more like it, but it was the 1st, and....wow


The "ice cream man" scene in the original Assault on Precinct 13. I figured the man would get killed...but the kid! Totally out of nowhere! Another small surprise in that movie...I was pretty surprised that Napolean survived. I figured he'd get shot, and his dying words would explain his name [Come on, I know Im not the only one that thought that]


The ending of Mad City....I know alot of you havnt seen it, so I wont say what. But for those who know...It makes you completly forget about ****, then wham! What an ending!

The Life of David Gale had one hell of a shocker at the end. Well, shocker, then another, ever better shocker right on top of it. Wasnt a great movie, but a great ending.

And last but not least...Ghostbusters. Who would have thougt the Stay Puft marshmellow man could do so much damge?!:D

most people say the point where Samuel JAckson was eaten by the shark in Deep Blue - so early in the film ..

The ending of the films Primal Fear and Basic. I did not see either of those coming. In fact with Primal Fear I was watching it with my friend and we both looked at each other and said what did he say and had to rewind it to make sure we heard it correct. In Hannibal when Lector is eating the brains of Ray Liotta, I almost puked because I did not see that one coming.

Se7en: The ending
