In the classic Flash Gordon with Max von Sydow, Princess aura had red blood but her father, Ming the mercilless, had black blood. Saywhut?

The House by the Cemetery. I could say most of this film, but specifically when the maid cleans up all the blood in the kitchen after a murder and before anyone else see's it and doesn't mention anything about the blood to the family. At first I thought she knew about the zombie, but then later when it killed her, evidently she didn't.

It took me 5 times to figure out what happened in the last scene of The Usual Suspects.

The whole movie PSYCHED BY THE 4-D WITCH (1973) had me going "WTF?".

The jam right in the middle of the movie is great though!

The final scene in CEMETERY MAN is mind-blowing!

Here's a couple points that confused me in movies and still do, perhaps some kindly souls here can help?

Beneath the planet of the apes: Did taylor deliberately set off the nova bomb and kill earth or was he trying to abort its detonation and unintentionally hit the detonator because of his mortal injuries? While deliberately doping it may have seemed like it would have been the thing for taylor to do, he had to remember some apes were kind to him earlier so it would have been kinda lousy of him to blow the whole planet...

I can't remember the other one just now, it'll come to me later...

I always thought it was a deliberate act.

I agree. I think he was thinking "f**k all this!"

A little bit random but recently I watched Halloween H20 (part of my Halloween marathon

) and in one scene, when they're trapped in the school, Laurie's boyfriend notices Myers coming up the stairs and shoots him, only to discover he just killed the guard, who by the way is short, black and fat. Basically, the complete opposite of Michael.

There are two things about this scene that bugged me, I actually had to rewind and watch it again: not only we can clearly see Michael Myers coming up the stairs and then they change the actor so it's the guard instead, but a couple of minutes later the latter shows up alive and well, without any form of health issues because the bullet "scratched him". It reminded me of Andrew's review of Nail Gun Massacre in which they change the actor playing the assasin so it fits the script.

In "Jaws" how did the shark bite that one guy's head off and leave his severed hear in his boat for dreyfus to get the jumpscare from?
