Hey Pandas, What’s The Most Shocking Movie Plot Twist Ever? (Closed)

"I see dead people". When Bruce Willis realizes that he has been dead all along.

The reveal of Norman Bates' dear old mom!

Saw - the Jigsaw killer was lying on the floor in the room with them all along, pretending to be dead. Simple, but it blew me away.

First time I watched the usual suspects thought I hadn't all figured out I was wrong

Coco actually surprised me when we find out that Ernesto De La Cruz murdered Hector and stole his music and guitar. Also, the reveal that Hector was actually Miguel's great great grandfather, not Ernesto. Usually I'm on the ball on plot twists, but this one was surprisingly dark and the reveal suddenly turns Hector, who up until then, seemed like the comedy relief in this film, into a tragic character.

Tyler Durden's actual identity.

"Soylent Green is people! Soylent Green is people!!!"

The Crying Game

Plot twist is still most shocking I can recall. Can't say it without totally ruining the movie but considering the time in the 1990's and the love story involving IRA soldiers before 9/11.

One of the best plot twists I've seen is from an 80s film called The Telephone. Whoopi Goldberg spends 2 hours in her apartment talking on the phone. The end comes when the phone company comes to confiscate her telephone for nonpayment. She tells the guy how badly she needs her phone but when he tells her the service has been cut for 2 weeks, she kills him with the phone. Terrible movie, great end.

There's this amazing movie from 1996 called Primal Fear starring Edward Norton and Richard Gere. ***SPOILER ALERT***

So basically this kid is found running from an apartment with blood all over him, and in the apartment is the body of a well-respected priest (or maybe a bishop or something idk). Throughout the movie you find out that the kid has split-personality disorder, and you are led to believe that his split personality is who killed the guy. Come to find out, the priest was forcing him into $exual activities with his girlfriend. So the kid brutally murdered him and then pretended it was because of his other personality.

TL;DR: A kid pretends to have split-personality disorder so he can kill someone.

When I went to see "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" I hadn't seen any of the previews yet, so I was pleasantly surprised to see Arnold's T-800 be the good guy when he said "Git Daown!"

Saw "The Blair Witch Project" before it was widely known to be a dramatisation rather than actual found footage at a small indie festival in my home town. So I guess the plot twist was 'it was all faked' but dang, it was so convincing at the time.

I was thinking of The Prestige, a movie so well made that the twist happens after you stop watching it.

There never was any magic. The transporting machine was simply a distraction, and the whole movie is a magic act. Are you watching closely?

The Game with Micheal Douglas and Sean Penn. Without spoiling it. Sean Penn plays Douglas' character bother. Douglas' character has all the money he need so he buys what he wants Penn's character is less wealthy and buys his brother in this thing called the Game. Craziness ensues and it you aren't really sure what is happening is it real or not just to lead to that ending.

Yeah, I read the books.

For me it would be: Sirius Black dying in "Order of the Phoenix". I mean, Harry has finally something near a father and then Sirius dies!!!! So unfair...

The most famous one, I always thought, was ruined by becoming a cliche long before I saw it. The space alien lands in a strange world where apes rule and people are kept in zoos, circuses, etc. At the very end, he discovers something terrible which makes him realize he isn't where he thinks he is at all: the Statue of Liberty, half buried in the sands of time. Earth has been over-run.

Titanic.

They were supposed to make it to New York... 😭

Book of Eli. I’m not going to spoil it, but it’s a movie where you think you understand what’s going on until the end, then you go Holy hell…WTF, and watch it again to actually understand the main character. Blew my mind.

The baroness is cruella’s mother

In ' Rocky Horror Picture Show ' when it was found that everyone except for Janet and Brad were aliens from another Galaxy.
