Jaw dropping moments and twists in films and TV shows

The Seinfeld episode in which

Susan died from licking the envelopes. It wasn't a shocking death and she wasn't a great character. However Georges reaction changed how Seinfeld was seen. Whereas it had been 'a show about nothing' where the characters acted petty and complained about trivial things, it now seemed to be about characters with serious personality disorders who didn't care if someone got hurt or even died because of their actions. I know it's a comedy and not to be taken seriously, but it was hard to relate to the characters after that

Film being my passion, I've seen quite a few in my time.

Oldboy is the biggest WTF moment I've ever witnessed.

A new version is coming out soon directed by Spike Jones. While I like Spike's stuff, or some of it, I'm actually a little angry that he's done it.

Why not leave works of art alone?

the end of "layer cake", cool.

I don't know about you, but... and this 'might' be going OT, but in the game "BioShock" - Great Storyline... and the pinnacle part near the end with regards to Andrew Ryan and the revealations just before then...

DAYUM!!!

One of the best pieces of story scripting in a game.

In Titanic when the ship crashed and sank ... never seen that Iceberg coming to be honest.

Jack had to cut Chases hand off with the fire axe.

I had my suspicions mid way through the movie (because i knew there was a twist but not the nature of it) but then the rest of movie made me think otherwise.. till the end when it's revealed. And then he still ........ with his ........ ugh!! WTF doesn't cut it.

As for the octopus scene, I was in Korea and tried that myself (but with a small octopus. Still lost. He lived for another day.) It's a tradition to eat live octopus apparently.:pac:

24 was really good back in the day but this made me jump off me chair! I honestly thought they'd never do it!! It was all just part of a plan or something... but... my god...

The opening of season 5 where

Palmer is assassinated

was a major shock, although there wasn't much of a build up.

The narrator being Tyler Durden in Fight Club was brilliant.

Obviously, The Usual Suspects twist was incredible as well. I love re-watching the movie and spotting all the little clues/hints scattered around pointing toward Verbal being the mysterious criminal.

The ending in the movie "Saw"

The ending of " the ring" too.

The end of six foot under was probably the greatest thing I have ever seen from a movie or a series . the song just fits perfectly

It's not Spike Jones, or even Spike Jonze, it's Spike Lee.

The end of New World when

Ja-seong kills everyone who knows he's a cop so he can be the head of the syndicate.

Boston Legal Season 5, final episode when

the Chinese firm buys out Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

Didn't see that coming.

RobbingBandit · 12-09-2013 11:59PM

Some of the deaths in Goodfellas are jaw dropping,also same genre Phil Leotardo popping out in The Sopranos was an awesome twist.

In Bargain Hunt when the Reds spent all their money on a Victorian lamp stand while the Blues spread their money across a piece of Ditchfield glass, a brass spittoon and a small vase of unknown origin. The tension was unbearable right up until the end

The Blues won

timthumbni · 13-09-2013 12:05AM

Has to be The Crying Game near the end when I discovered the big secret that the film was sh"te. ;-)

Walt

poisoning Brock

in Season 4 of Breaking bad.

Mind blowing

IrishGrimReaper · 13-09-2013 12:22AM

Game Of Thrones, second last episode of the recent season I think.

When they killed Rob Stark and his mother, and stabbed Rob's wife who was with child

Can't believe no one's said that one yet.

It's by Spike Lee and yes it will be a travesty compared to the original.

In Breaking Bad when

Todd shoots the kid at the end of the train heist. What a heartless act! The kid hadn't a clue he witnessed a train robbery and was not a threat to them.

Two of the best, not mentioned yet

Jacobs Ladder where

one of the most strangely disturbing films I've ever watched, watch it and see
for yourself, right to the last moment and see if you feel oddly uneasy

and Donnie Darko

where its slow to build but not telling you and you'll thank me for it when you watch it, right to the very end.

and I'll throw in The Crying Game for a laff and Silent Hill for a weird to round it off.
and the Omen - but there you are expecting the ........
and The Long Good Friday, and they keep coming to me

Series 3 finale of Sons of anarchy - I think I roared a big "FUCKING YES!!!!" when all was revealed!

AH answer - When maggie Shot Mr Burns :O

Robb Stark and his mother being killed at a wedding in Game of Thrones.

Their faces are still burnt into my mind.

ArnoldJRimmer · 13-09-2013 02:38AM

The twist at the end of Arlington Road is pretty amazing. Was thinking that it was a pretty average film up until that, but what a devastating but brilliant ending
