favorite WTF endings

[Fox Sake]

Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven".

It's not often one sees Gene Hackman facing the wrong end of a rifle. I mean I know he was a tough law enforcer (a kind of Dirty Harry for a bygone age), but I still didn't think he would end up dead. This is Gene Hackman for chrissake!

Life of Brian and  Oldboy

[Svengoolie 3]

Night of the Living Dead (original)

Life of Brian (thanks bob)

Mulholland Drive (the whole film is WTF for me)

Men In Black 1

Clockwork Orange (I just wanted more)

read the complete novel. there is a final chapter not included in the initial U.S. release that goes beyond the movie end.

I used to go WTF at the end of life force but figured it out eventually. it made sense. No I was not inebriated.

There is an outtake of the scene where William Munny kills Little Bill: I saw it on Oprah almost 20 years ago. Clint Eastwood shoots, Gene Hackman dies and Eastwood grins and says "Take that."

The last ep of Duckman.  If I ever find who wrote it he's getting a kick in the sack.

That was just weird.

Fulci's City of the Living Dead (1980) is notorious for having one of the biggest WTF endings.

I've read that they used that ending because the film was damaged by having coffee spilled on it and they didn't have time or money to reshoot the real ending, or possibly (less likely) that Fulci just changed his mind about it.

Wow, I'm going to have to try to track that down.  Love Unforgiven.  Think it'd be fun to splice that into the ending.

THE BOOK OF ELI has a very powerful ending, I love that movie. It's one of those that makes you wanna see the movie again to see what did you missed.

THELMA AND LOUISE  (1991) 

[zelmo73]

Total Recall (1990) is still one of my favorite endings. When I walked out of the movie theater with my dad after the movie ended, that's all we talked about on the drive home was whether it was all a dream or not. I didn't get to read the book yet, so I don't know if that was Philip K. Dick's doing or not, but it still remains one of the most clever movie endings of all time.

At the end of ORLOFF AND THE INVISIBLE MAN (1970) , the Invisible Man ( who has left his shoe prints in flour)- becomes visible-and he's a ratty shoeless  gorilla!

Far North (2007) was on Film 4 a couple of nights back and was a pretty decent slow burner with some fantastic shots of the arctic tundra before hitting you with an absolutely out of nowhere ending.
