How about MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL??


Did anyone who watched the movie, spoiler-free, see that end coming?

It REALLY ticked me off the first time I saw it, at age 14.

It's a comedy so it doesn't really matter. :wink:
                                             

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.

Yeah, I hated that. I was so grateful that they figured out how to end a movie by the time they got to LIFE OF BRIAN. I always suspected they literally didn't know how to end GRAIL and just kind of gave up.

Planet Of The Apes has the greatest twist ending of all time.  However, I was a late comer to the movie so I kind of knew about it.  Its one of those situation where I wish I didn't know.  My jaw would have dropped.


I remember when this was first released on VHS - and the twist ending was given away on the cover!

Spoiler below!

MONSTER A-GO GO.  Was that a twist, or just the screenwriter suddenly giving up?

The last 10 seconds or so of Phantasm were a bit of a shock  :buggedout:

I think they ran out of film.

I agree with both of you and I think it was a combonation of both of those things.

I thought the ending to The Mist had a sweet twist to it.  I didn't see it coming at all, it was pretty good.

I read the book first, but the ending of Choke really got me by suprise.

The ending of Andrew Davis' The Package with Gene Hackman caught me by surprise ~ I never saw that coming. "Sorry, sir, just checking the map."  :buggedout:

The surprise twist as the killer is revealed in The Crimson Rivers ~ the shot of the detectives seeing the truth appear in front of them and the cut to the killer is quite scary.  :buggedout:

We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

I didn't see the ending of Running Scared coming, which was nice.

Acacia had a pretty nasty twist at the end

Twisted had a decent one.

As did Session 9.
