Dracula 2000. Dracula is Judas. It explained the holy water and crosses [he betrayed Jesus and can't stand Benbrook reminded of his betrayal], the sensitivity to light [judas hung himself at nightfall], can't be around silver [70 pieces of silver] and the need to always drink blood [he missed the last supper where he would have had Jesus's blood, so he constantly craved blood of the "pure"]. I loved the twist and made the movie worth it.
Judas didn’t miss the last supper, he was very much present: Matthew 26:21-25 21 and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord? 23 And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 24 The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born. 25 And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.
I actually like Saw 2. I'm not afraid to say it. The traps are cool, the ending is cool, it put the cop who framed tons of people in his place. I enjoyed it.
When you realize that the saw franchise is more a revenge genre/anti hero than horror franchise (Exception saw 7! Only good thing was the end twist. The killer was a mindless blood lust idiot and did not give his victims any chance to survive! He made a mockery of jigsaw name and deserves what they got!)
I like Saw 2 as well. It’s one of my favorites from the series! The traps are cool and bringing Amanda back as the apprentice was a surprise to me. I also like Saw 3. Saw V was terrible though lol
@@bonafiedangeredpenguin5387 There is no way Jigsaw is an anti-hero. The worst part about the Saw franchise was 1) That the kept acting like he wasn't just a psychotic murderer and 2) That Jigsaw was somehow omniscient.
+Andy Valenzuela - I know, right? She was pretty much a wax doll in the whole damn series! Then I saw her in Clouds of Sils Maria and my jaw hit the floor!
JSmellerM Depends on what you mean with twist. I mean, they considered something that was is all the ads and built up through the whole movie (Twilight) a twist.
william timonen if you are talking about twilight the real twist was probably that it was just in that one dude's head but they explained why they thought the battle was a twist
What about batman vs super man, that whole film was a bore until they find out that both of them had a mum called Martha....oh wait no that was stupid and lame....
That part made me think of step brothers. Superman: Save Martha Batman: why did you say that name?!?! Lois: it's his mother's name! Super man: did we just become best friends? Batman: Yep! Super man: Do you want to go do karate in the garage? Batman: Yep! Lol when I watch BVS that was exactly what came to mind at that part. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Um He's saying that the character of Eli is blind which he is it clearly says so in the synopsis of the film on IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt1037705/synopsis?ref_=ttpl_sa_2 and the films Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Eli#Plot
Dead Silence is one of the horror movies I enjoy a lot. The plot twist was fucking amazing, plus it had loads of tense moments, which kept you on your toes pretty much the whole movie. Unlike a lot of other horror movies.
+Pat Somers For a long time I thought it was the worst of the terminator movies, then I watched it again recently and though I get where dude is coming from with the cheesy humor and the underwhelming action I think a part of that is because both of those things are done so well in T2, and also because they earmarked a lot of the budget for that whole blowing up the world thing since CGI was still relatively expensive at the time and it had been long enough since T2 that the studio weren't quite sure what they were going to be able to make back.
i know Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
The Boy would be awesome on this list where it turns out the creepy ghost of the boy was not actually a ghost but the boy all grown up, living in the walls.
Shamir George Just watched that and yeah, did not see that coming. Normally I get pissed at the Scooby Doo "man in s mask" twist, but this time was an exception.
BardicLiving ~ I agree. when it's something supernatural it's not as bad bc it's isn't real, depending on what sorta supernatural things you believe in. But when it turns out that something is real, like a real human being all along, it's totes creepier bc that means it's in the real realm of possibility. spooky shit yo
Also, John Connors drifting existence without the war (or inner hate of machines), and Claire Danes spirit. Best parts of terminator 3 didn't had anything to do with any terminators at all, lol.
The ending to T3 absolutely saved it from being fairly mediocre to a fairly good film. I realize most people dislike it a lot more than I do, but if you going into it expecting a popcorn B-movie its not bad. Add the twist at the end and its actually quite good.
Enders Game has had the most impactful plot twist of any movie I've ever watched. I hadn't read the book so I was absolutely mortified when I found out it was all real and not a simulation.
Yeah, on the original Friday the 13th, I saw it when I was 12, with my best friend who was 2 years younger. We rented it on VHS along with a couple other movies for a sleepover because all the older kids said it was a "great scary movie". And no, nobody spoiled any of the plot for us. We just knew it was the 1st in the series of 3 (at the time) & it told how Jason came to be a psycho killer that couldn't be stopped. My friend spent most of the movie clinging to my arm scared while I kept thinking "When is it gonna get scary? Just a typical horror movie." Then by halfway through I was thinking "Obviously the nice lady is actually the dead kid's mom. She blames teen obsession with sex for the cause of her son's death by negligence. She's the one pretending to be normal but killing teens that she deems irresponsible, nothing supernatural here." Yet my friend was shocked at the "twist". I never understood how so many people said they were shocked. Had they somehow never seen another horror movie before that one? It's a standard plot that horror movies continue the storytelling tradition of adults telling teens not to sneak around to have sex or they will have severe consequences, like maybe die horribly.
+Cabochon1360 Liked the movie, but hated the twist. Up till then it really was a head trip. What happens when a child starts wanting the things an adult does, but can't have them? Little ways it happens all the time, but this case. Way down the rabbit hole as she went psycho. Just to toss the ideal and make it a dwarf in disguise? Totally ruined the head trip. Back to our safe place where everything is always what we think it is. :P
+ControvT ^^ What is an orphan activist? Do you mean just people who support the ideal of adopting orphans? Is that an activist category now? I don't think supporting doing something makes one an activist. We would have to stat labeling people coffee activist, tea activists, or myself an energy drink activist. : D
Cabochon1360 My biggest problem with Orphan wasn't the pacing, but the ' evil kid' movie cliche's: inept counselors, and naively stupid husbands- those two were the worst in this film. I liked the more adult back story about the couple and the girl. The sexual dialogue and content, kinda shocked me in theaters, but the twist at the end was jaw - dropping for me and it worked pretty well.)
they had to do something to keep thje boyfriends from killing their girlfriends for dragging them through 5 movies, building up to a ending that is just talking....least give them a glimpse of awesomeness heh.
"Terminator 2 is godlike" - my point exactly! Best Terminator by far including the recent attempts, although the last one seems to at least get back to the right path a bit
Nothing will ever come close to T2, that's for sure, but I actually really dug Genisys (despite the stupid name). Lots of cool, T2-esque throwbacks and moments. Plus Emilia Clarke.
"I saw R rated films at a young age and I turned out ok ". That Sleepaway Camp ending FUCKED ME UP as a kid! I felt like Horace in Monster Squad. I had successfully blocked it out until JUST now! Thanks What Culture.
Does that mean you found the rest of the film pretty terrible? Cause I thought it was at least half-way decent. This list is about movies which are otherwise near god-awful.
Twilight one being so true, I remember going to this movie for my little sister's birthday, treating her to a movie and snacks as a present. But the movie was boring as hell, and I could literally see all the other guys in the theater also nearly dozing off of just being completely uninterested, until this scene started and they all snapped right awake, while all girls faces just froze in absolute horror. It was beautiful... Best few minutes of the entire thing.
You forgot 'The Mist'. An otherwise bland horror movie with no real plot. UNTIL! The final act. The father of a child , his wife and two old people run out of fuel trying to escape the city and think that the best way to go, is to shoot themselves. Their are 5 people in the car, but only four bullets. The dad kills everyone but himself, leaves the car and starts shouting at the mist. However, earlier on in the film, the son said that "the canadian army will help us". The dad thinks nothing of it and tries different ways to survive and ultimately desides to try and escape in a car with two elders and his wife at the end. When the dad stops shouting he finds something horrible. The canadian army actually did come to save them. The dad had just killed his son and his wife for nothing. The movie ends with him screaming as the canadian army moves through the city killing all the monsters. It made me cry and I don't cry easily.
+The Wanderer Not just the army coming but this mist starts to fade and we see the mother who everyone assumes was long dead, alive and well (with her kids i believe). i fucking love the movie ending because its so sad and horrible its the sort of things that often people are afraid to do in film even in horror . I do agree that the ending makes it memorable but wouldn't call it a twist(unless you read the book) or the movie a "bland horror movie with no real plot." The movies plot is simplistic(or rather minimal) but it is there and works.Lets go to the store,Oh shit inter dimensional mist what should we do? It builds from there with characters building up to be as big of threats as the creatures(and ultimate being bigger) . Whether someone finds it bland i guess is more of an opinion. i like horror movies where people are isolated and the threat isnt just the monster or killer but the other people as well. Over all like the book its not overly amazing but i feel Frank like he often does nailed the adaption with the lil Stephen king things like the Dark tower poster ,"My life for you" and most of all that great ending that were we realize if they had just stayed calm and waited everything would have been fine(not the wife but still). On slightly related note it suppose to be getting a show adaption so lets hope its better than the under the dome one also Dark tower is getting a movie.
+NagualElias That ending was horrible & unnecessary. I'm amazed Stephen King agreed to it, especially since he wrote in his introduction to the Bachman books that he was still callow enough to believe in unhappy endings with his first novels.
there's also the fact that during the film the crazed woman says that God requires a sacrifice, meaning his child but then is subsequently killed. Then, at the end of the movie as soon as the child is shot the mist starts to clear...
Everyone pans it, but you have to think of the bar that had been set by the two movies that came before it. Not great, sure, but still a decently competent action movie. Did not see that end coming, that's for sure.
In a lot of ways, I prefer it over T2. Yeah, classic action flick, but it had Edward Furlong, and he is a blight on the screen. No charisma, a shrieking voice, and just generally annoying.
In the end, that imaginary fight scene averts all the real fighting and saves the lives of everyone involved. It was incredibly well done even though it didn't save the film or the franchise from being shit.
But technically the guy getting the vision could have used that to change the outcome in the battle I guess? Or delay the battle anyway and just say they'll withdraw to strike at a later date.
The British movie "Exam" wasn't a terrible movie but it had a nice twist that tied things up nicely. At the beginning they are told that they have to answer one question, the only question but no details are provided about the question. In the end it is revealed that when they were asked if they had any questions, that was the question.
The T3 twist maybe good as a standalone thing for that particular movie, but the movie itself shouldn't have existed. It negates everything that was established in T2. They worked for the whole movie to change the future and then T3 happens and says "fuck you, this is a PG-13 franchise now and we need the world to end in order to sell tickets".
I disagree. Although T2 is a great action movie, it's plot made no sense. I hate temporal-causality, and I hate the idea that the machines only existed because people found their remains from the future which only existed in the past because they were built by the people that found their remains which came from the future but wouldn't have existed otherwise, wut?. Also, how would John Conner have been born with Judgment Day and time travel? T3 had every right to exist. When the Terminator says, "you did not stop Judgment Day, you only postponed it," that made sense. It dealt with the massive, _massive_ plot-holes dealt in T2, and it makes the entire saga come full-circle. I think it's underrated for that reason alone. I also think Salvation is underrated. Yeah, it's got plot-holes too, but it's still pretty good in a lot of way. Genysis I didn't even bother watching.
It makes sense if you accept the theory that Skynet more than likely inadvertently sent its machines to the past in one or more alternate realities, and not to the past timeline of its own current reality, which explains Skynet's lack of understanding of why it kept failing to complete its mission to destroy John Connor. In fact, one has to take into account a couple of things. One, if not for the machines' intervention, Sarah would have gone on that planned date of hers with John's original birth father, and would have eventually ended up becoming pregnant with John anyway. Two, in regards to certain deleted/extended scenes from "T2", some events (e.g., John Connor's birth) were apparently always fated to happen, regardless of what reality they occurred in or how they happened, while others would not necessarily have happened at all.
Corinth Maxwell That had occurred to me as well, but multi-verse theory is never established in the Terminator series. I guess I just like Nick Stahl as John Conner. I don't know why they couldn't get him to reprise the role in Salvation.
You have The Book Of Eli portrayed incorrectly. The character Eli was a blind man when they apocalypse occurred; Actually as a result of said Apocalypse prior to this story taking place. A few side notes: That's why he was able to read brail & that is why his eyes become milky and dead only when he arrives to deliver the Bible to safety. Prior to that his eyes looked normal. Once the Earth was down to it's last bible and man was at their worst, God gave Eli his sight back in order bring the last known bible back to safety in order to get it printed again. I thought he was blind the whole movie too initially; But sadly because I'm a cinephile, I spent way to much time combing through the film & the writers statements. Maybe include an annotation or don't do anything at all. Just thought Id share that with you and or anybody else who takes the time to read this. Cheers.
i read it. but did you really need to comb through all that? i watched the movie once and took that away from it. wasn't even paying much attention to it.
Williambarela This video touched on many ideas that led to their conclusion. I had to also touch on many examples and or points to make the actual conclusion apparent. That's all. I appreciate the fact you understood the movie from the jump. A lot of people didn't however. Thank you very much for the response. Cheers ;)
But there are a couple things that dont quite add up then : how he constantly things like : you smell that? ( like when they heading to the ocean), or "you hear that?" . Not once does he make a remark that involves seeing something. This was done very purposely. Just like in the first fighting scene where he first looks back to the tunnel prior to the fight, and then moments before retreats back into it, where all the sounds are so much clearer. And how about the town shootout, he only and ever shoots at people the moment they fire at him, because that way he knows where they are standing. For the same reason he doesnt shoot at the bald guy (reddick or something) because he doesnt shoot at eli, so eli doesnt even know he is standing there. Especially with the town shootout scene in mind, i believe eli was blind his entire journey
Meat to please you I understand where you're coming from. There are many things done in this movie to detract away from it's reality. If you read the directors interview about the movie he explains what it's actually about. The apocalypse took Eli's sight & gave him a mission. Once Eli accepted this mission he gave his eye sight back in order to complete it. You can see his eyes change from normal to milky white at the very end. Demonstrating that his eyes are functional up until the very end. Once his mission is complete he goes back the way he was; But again, don't take my word for it. Look up the directors interview and he'll go into more detail that might satisfy your curiosity. Thanks for the response. Cheers.
+The Epic Question I believe you but that doesn't explain Meat's objection. Why did they shoot the movie as if he was blind if he actually wasn't, but more so, do you have any evidence from the movie itself other than his eyes changing color or what the directors say, that he was actually blind. Of course the directors word is enough, but it lessens the movie if they shoot it for a twist that isn't actually the twist in my mind
MrOlliguitar Agreed. The chase with the crane or whatever and Arnold going through the building, and then the seeer gag, the toilet fight, the whole action stuff was great. And it made a ton of money, so, people liked it.
Totally wrong about Ender's Game. In the book it was a total amazing surprise. My wife watched the movie and guessed it halfway. Which ruined the book with a fantastic twist. Im still pissed off about it.
darkstar100x Excet Fight Club and in my opinion Willy Wonka. Im sure theres others. Even Chuck preferred the movie over the book proving its not impossible to do a good movie based on something, just requires not looking for a trend and trying to profit
You missed a bunch of movies! For example, every single Adam Sandler movie was absolute shit until that one part where they decide to roll the credits.
The biggest problem with Book Of Eli is the fact that braille takes up more space then printed text and one book would not hold the whole bible. The braille bible is about 30 books, so the real twist is that he only has a small fraction of the bible.
I like to think that he had the rest of the bible memorized. It's that one book in brailie that gave him trouble, so he carried it around. Stupid, I know. But it gave me peace of mind.
+XCyclonusX While in the book (actually a short story), it ends with the main characters still going around with the car, and he is writing a diary in which he says something like "I don't know how this will end"... And that's it
Kajed8963 I wouldn't really say its a bad movie either. Its a typical Stephen King movie. And I usually find Stephen King movies very predictable and a little boring. His stuff is more suited to television IMO. But the Mists ending is one of the bravest endings I've ever seen in a movie. It literally leaves you sitting on the edge of your seat with your mouth wide open.
You forgot The Hunger Games series. Yeah, that had a great twist. The twist happens when you realize that you've been watching Dollar-Store Running Man the whole time, and thus never have a reason to watch any Hunger Games movie again.
Surprised Robot No, see, Battle Royale didn't have a commentary to make about the media being exploited in a bread-and-circuses way with a modern context, thus leading to the hero, after watching several of their new friends get brutally killed during the televised event, turns the tables on the oppressive regime and uses that very same media outlet as a way to rally the people to revolution. Pop quiz time: did I just describe The Running Man or the entire Hunger Games franchise?
Ikrani True, though the reason I mentioned BR is because it's the most popular comparison. Which is hilarious considering BR kinda rips off The Running Man to an extent, or it as least very similar in premise much like The Hunger Games. Also, to answer your question: you described Death Race 2000! Ok, but seriously, you described both, but The Running Man (and Death Race 2000) did it first.
I watched it with my friends, and I was the only one who didn't see it coming. I don't regret though, I love that feeling of impression when the plot twist is revealed.
The first time I saw that scene, watching all the vehicles work together, all I could picture was all the vehicles combining together to form a giant robot, like the Stunticons into Menasor.
Iain Meldrum I am sure, although "The Orphanage" is great as well. The only thing I really disliked about "Orphan" was the character of the husband. He was so ridiculously dismissive of his wife that you would almost think he was the bad guy. He very poorly written and portrayed. Awful character.
I remember seeing Terminator 3 in theaters. I actually really enjoyed the movie. But what I remember most of all was the theater was PACKED and we all laughed and cheered throughout the film. But when the bombs fell and John Conner gave his voice over to end the movie... the theater went dead silent. When the credits rolled there were no cheers, no laughs, no boos, no one even talking to each other. Pure silence as we strolled out of the theater. It was the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed.
I want to say "The Game"....but it wasn't a "terrible" movie, just long.... but it had the greatest ending of any movie I've ever seen (just above "The Sixth Sense").... IF you haven't seen it, watch it! Starts out slow (hang in there), picks up speed, and then the ending is epic. Michael Douglas and Sean Penn......
Blergh. I'm gonna have to totally disagree. The movie was okay, but since it gave everyone arbitrary powers to commit impossible acts of deception, there turned out to be no reason to play detective and figure out whether , or what, was real and what was a game. And then it ends with the silliest deus ex machina I've ever seen. That ending is five kinds of impossible, and any chance I had to suspend my disbelief up until that time was dumped in the bin and pissed all over. But since you didn't have the same reaction, perhaps I'm the asshole skeptic who can't simply go with a movie premise and enjoy himself. Any UA-camrs on my side...?
Eric Goldlust Onoes! Spoilers! It's all ruined! But seriously. XD There's more than a few holes that can be poked into the movie so it wasn't brilliant or anything. I think most of David Fincher's movies are like that. But for back in the day when not every other movie was trying to make plot twists, it was definitely different. It's aged well for something made almost 20 years ago. It's not gonna win any best movie awards, but compared to most of the stuff that comes out these days, it can compete. Or maybe that's just nostalgia goggles for one of my first suspense movies when I was itty bitty.
Had the complete opposite reaction to T3. The entire premise of The Terminator and T2 was that the future is not set and that the characters' actions determine their fate. Then T3 reverses the concept and suggests that nothing they could have done would have changed the future. It should have just had them fail rather than set forth the idea that they could never have possibly succeeded, which violates the previously established rules of the "movie universe."
Steven Turner I understand what you mean but the very existence of T3 (even without the plot twist) kind of destroys the idea that the future isn't fixed. In T2 John and Sarah suposedly destroy everything that would have made the Judgment Day happen, thus preventing anything else to happen in the future. The fact that there's even a follow up to that kind of proves nothing they did matter in the first place. And I don't have much of a problem with this since John didn't dissapear by the end of the second movie (proving that the paradox that created him was still something that might eventually happen -and you know, in order for the paradox to happen you need the war between humans and skynet to happen and all)
Steven Turner the idea is that the future isn't set, sure. even in the movie, they said all they could ever really do is delay skynet. it was seen as an inevitability
Each of the first three Terminators have a different take on time travel. The first is that you can't avoid what will happen. Sarah must have had an original baby daddy she doesn't meet in the movie thanks to the changed events, yet despite all that, still winds up birthing John, and taking the picture that John will give to Kyle, all of it resulting in a closed loop. The second says that events can be changed. The third goes with the middle line between the two... certain key things will happen, but you can change when/how they do. Then there's the fifth, which says we need to invent time travel and hope the second is right, allowing us to stop the film from ever being made.
Personally I reject the notion that a twist can ever save or ruin a movie. Yes, it can make it better or worse, but if the first hundred minutes or so aren't good, it's still a bad film. And the reverse is true. Sunshine's a good example, I'm perfectly willing to admit that the ending has flaws (although I liked it more than most seem to), but it's still a good film.
You have to consider the point of an ending, which is to provide catharsis for the build-up set by the previous scenes. A shitty ending invalidates the purpose of everything that comes before it. I don't think a movie can be _saved_ by a surprisingly smart ending, but it can certainly be ruined by a particularly bad one.
I actually thought they were trying to send us "Not everyone who is different is a monster" kind of message. And they could've expanded on that, alas we won't get any more enders game movies.
That's actually a very interesting concept which sort of puts you in a moral dilemma, I wish they made a sequel where they would explore this concept further. And I totally thing murderous bugs can be capable of empathy and have a moral compass, Because guilt and regret are powerful emotions and with sentience, comes emotions, maybe this queen has a better moral compass than those who came before her.
+JoeRingo The "formics never meant us any harm" is explained in the sequel books to Ender's game. The formics can't communicate using telepathy instead of voices and body language. The first time the formics came to earth was with a scouting team. Then, they sent a queen and colony to terraform and colonize. They didn't realize humans were sentient because they couldn't speak with us. Eventually, humans beat the formics and the formics realized humans were sentient. However, humans didn't realize the formics wouldn't attack anymore, so they sent their own fleet of destruction. The formics actually gather all their queens on the home planet and die to Ender on purpose (not fully explained why; up to interpretation). Basically, the formics thought we weren't sentient.
I'm so happy that T3 is on the list! I was extatic when I realized that I had not seen what was coming and so lucky that I didn't try to figure out the end beforehand.
+Joshua Droy honestly, even though 4 and 5 aren't great, they're still entertaining and have some great jigsaw traps and violence. I'd say they're Worth watching once
Who the hell doesn't like The Book of Eli? And Orphan is a very well directed genre movie with an unbelievable performance by the 12-year old Isabelle Fuhrman. I don't know what you're talking about.
Honestly, I already liked FD5 before the twist. It had the best CGI of the series, the most likeable set of characters, the second best lead, and even made a major improvement on the idea introduced in 3 of a human villain. The twist just solidified it as my favorite of the series.
Isaiah Towers It wasn't that good. Just another generic apocalyptic movie where the survivors are living in a desert in a bombed out Barstow for good discernible reason. Every bad post apocalypse movie is marked by survivors and their questionable real estate decisions, living in radioactive deserts instead of moving to the now depopulated coasts. I hate that.
Man you are gonna feel really silly when he loses. WWE invested all their time into Reigns just to let him fall now. I myself have nothing against Reigns but rather the piss poor booking they give him. And he has the title and this is going to be his "proper" run with it.
+Quavion Deering I agree w both of you, I believe reigns will lose first then turn heel beat the holy bejeeses out of styles on his heel turn, and win a series in the next two to retain.
the other movies on this list? whatever. but Terminator 3 is good because they blew up the world? brilliant right? no, it isn't they only did that to be able to make more movies. all T3 is is to re-write the ending of T2. you know? the ending where they already stopped Judgement Day? the whole plot of that film? the reason that movie was called 'Judgement Day'? the whole message of T2 (and the original btw) was that you have your destiny in your own hands, that the future isn't fixed. then T3 comes along and says ''nope, it's fixed because we need more monah'' T3 is just a big middle finger to the first two films.
Terminator 3 had to end with an apocalypse otherwise the first two movies make no sense. In order for the terminators to be sent back in the first two movies there has to be an apocalypse and a war between the machines and humans. I was angry at the ending of Terminator 2 because I knew there had to be a judgement day for it to make sense to even send back the terminators in the first place. I knew they couldn't stop judgements day.
+Kingdxm / Exactly why time travel movies are kinda bullshit. Unless you specifically set up Multiverse theory as how shit works, going back in the past would solve nothing because if you prevented the thing that made you want to go back into the past, you would have never gone back into the past in the first place thus ensuring that it happens which ensures that you go back into the past and once again fail to prevent it. Hell, SKYNET should have been intelligent enough to figure that out and never bothered sending a Terminator back to deal with Sarah in the first place.
RaithSienar. but Skynet did send a Terminator back in time and so it must have known that in the universe the story takes place in history can be altered. many people seem to think that time travel stories can only work in one way: you go back kill your grandfather and you don't exist anymore, so your grandfather was never killed. aka the grandfather paradox. people expect cause and effect to work no matter what happens. but that sucks out all the drama out of allot of time travel fiction. however, storytelling isn't limited to just one way to tell a story. Terminator 1 and 2 (and not T3 or T5. they broke the series time travel rules) use the bootstrap paradox. this is a far more flexible and more interesting way of story telling. this paradox allows the time traveler to go back in time, kill their grandfather and still survive. the bootstrap paradox allows for time anomalies to exist. this allows John Connor to live even when he never send his dad back in time when Skynet's creation was prevented. let me give an example: say time travel exist in say the 26th century. and a time traveler uses it to travel all over time. meets famous people. was there for allot of historical events. then the traveler comes up with an idea: he wants to meet the person who invented time travel. so he goes back to say, the 23rd century. and he takes the blueprints of the original time machine with him for the inventor to sign. he rings the doorbell and explains to the inventor how much the inventor is admired for time travel in his future. however, the inventor has no idea what the traveler is talking about. but looks over the blueprints. the inventor then asks ''can I keep these? you know. just as a reminder of our meeting'' the traveler thinks nothing of it, after all, this was the person who invented the thing in the first place. how's that going to mess up time? the inventor signs something else and the traveler leaves. the inventor will now build the time machine. and history records everything as the traveler saw it. it's this concept that James Cameron used for Terminator 1 and 2. if Skynet didn't send the first Terminator back then Skynet wouldn't have been invented in the first place. that act alone shows how flexible time is in the Terminator universe (well, the first two films)
Dracula 2000.
Dracula is Judas. It explained the holy water and crosses [he betrayed Jesus and can't stand Benbrook reminded of his betrayal], the sensitivity to light [judas hung himself at nightfall], can't be around silver [70 pieces of silver] and the need to always drink blood [he missed the last supper where he would have had Jesus's blood, so he constantly craved blood of the "pure"]. I loved the twist and made the movie worth it.
Gerard Newell that actually sounds really good
Judas didn’t miss the last supper, he was very much present:
Matthew 26:21-25
21 and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?
23 And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24 The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.
25 And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.
Yeah that twist made the movie worth it.
Yeah I thought that twist made it stand out from all the other Dracula flicks.
Clever you
That clip of the chick with her mouth wide open is creepy as fuck, holy shit
watch Dead Silence! He's right, the ending is fantastic! Lol, but I guess now you already know it....
Plot twist it's a dude
Late on this, but if you haven't seen it, watch it. That last scene is god damn bone chilling.
Good Bad Flicks did a whole thing on Sleepaway Camp. There's a reason that last shot is so weird.
Dude, so glad I'm not the only one. Hella. fucking. unsettling.
I actually like Saw 2. I'm not afraid to say it. The traps are cool, the ending is cool, it put the cop who framed tons of people in his place. I enjoyed it.
When you realize that the saw franchise is more a revenge genre/anti hero than horror franchise
(Exception saw 7! Only good thing was the end twist. The killer was a mindless blood lust idiot and did not give his victims any chance to survive! He made a mockery of jigsaw name and deserves what they got!)
I like Saw 2 as well. It’s one of my favorites from the series! The traps are cool and bringing Amanda back as the apprentice was a surprise to me. I also like Saw 3. Saw V was terrible though lol
@@bonafiedangeredpenguin5387 There is no way Jigsaw is an anti-hero. The worst part about the Saw franchise was 1) That the kept acting like he wasn't just a psychotic murderer and 2) That Jigsaw was somehow omniscient.
Everyone who is a fan of the saw movies likes Saw II. I don’t know why it’s on this list.
"Awful CGI Kristen Stewart, awful real life Kristen Stewart."
Hilarious! 👍
Kristen Stewart is only CGI.
I refuse to believe that she is human. She is an android trying to pass herself as a human woman, but lacking the ability to emote.
@@tafua_a
😂😂😂 Damn A.I. 😂😂😂
+Andy Valenzuela - I know, right? She was pretty much a wax doll in the whole damn series! Then I saw her in Clouds of Sils Maria and my jaw hit the floor!
I thought the real plot twist of Ender's game was the fact that the aliens actually weren't really harmful to begin with.
JSmellerM Depends on what you mean with twist. I mean, they considered something that was is all the ads and built up through the whole movie (Twilight) a twist.
william timonen
you lost me halfway through your comment because it becomes unreadable to me
JSmellerM
I have no idea what that was either...
I was just angry that they considered the battle built up through the whole movie a twist.
william timonen
if you are talking about twilight the real twist was probably that it was just in that one dude's head but they explained why they thought the battle was a twist
JSmellerM
That wasnt a good twist. Or did anyone want them to live?
What about batman vs super man, that whole film was a bore until they find out that both of them had a mum called Martha....oh wait no that was stupid and lame....
Gooch359 That wasn't a plot twist (as any DC fan worth his shit would have already known) it was a cop out by a clueless director and writers.
Gooch359 it's funny cause it's true😂
That part made me think of step brothers.
Superman: Save Martha
Batman: why did you say that name?!?!
Lois: it's his mother's name!
Super man: did we just become best friends?
Batman: Yep!
Super man: Do you want to go do karate in the garage?
Batman: Yep!
Lol when I watch BVS that was exactly what came to mind at that part. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!
Unless they were the SAME MARTHA. That twist would have made it all worth it.
Never knew Mr. Robot was in Twilight
I never knew Josh was in Twilight
+Crizpy +Mixey I never knew Twilight was saved.
Julio Cesar Calixto Moreno lol
also he was in 24.
+Julio Cesar Calixto Moreno lol!!
honestly thought book of eli was a awesome movie.
lee mceachern it was,this guy is a idiot how was densel Washington blind 😂he was reading books in the film and clearly wasn't blind. great film
Only idiots think that Eli was blind. My god...
dorukkose ye like I said the guy who made the video is stupid and hasn't watched the film.he was clearly reading the bible at 1 point
Um He's saying that the character of Eli is blind which he is it clearly says so in the synopsis of the film on IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt1037705/synopsis?ref_=ttpl_sa_2 and the films Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Eli#Plot
Jonathan Kent don't believe everything you read on the Internet - Abraham Lincoln
Dead Silence is one of the horror movies I enjoy a lot. The plot twist was fucking amazing, plus it had loads of tense moments, which kept you on your toes pretty much the whole movie. Unlike a lot of other horror movies.
I agree. I can rewatch that movie over and over and still enjoy it.
Freaked me out WAY TOO MUCH!!!!! I HATE PUPPETS!!!!! NIGHTMARE FUEL!!!!
I saw this movie years ago on the TV in a physical therapy room, and I was still spooked with ten people around me stretching....
Shutter Island. Probably the ONLY movie I re-watched immediately after finishing it.
Fucking yes!!
+uMovie97 That was not a bad movie tho.
+Eric Carter That wasn't a bad movie, you morron !
Yea! Except for the part where it was a bad movie.
+Jonathan Yurek Yeah, the Last seconds after the credits...
although T3 wasn't the best movie ever i think its better than people give it credit for.
+Pat Somers For a long time I thought it was the worst of the terminator movies, then I watched it again recently and though I get where dude is coming from with the cheesy humor and the underwhelming action I think a part of that is because both of those things are done so well in T2, and also because they earmarked a lot of the budget for that whole blowing up the world thing since CGI was still relatively expensive at the time and it had been long enough since T2 that the studio weren't quite sure what they were going to be able to make back.
+Korvas989 Yeah, that's a pretty impossible task. Nothing short of watching Justin Beiber get executed could properly follow that act...
+Pat Somers >> I agree. T3 is better than people say.
agreed
+Pat Somers It's better than Salvation.
Cool list but WOW is the editing too janky and full of smash cuts, I think I have vertigo now :c
Jello what are you doing here?
And why is he only getting a commen ton this now
i agree
Yes
i know Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
The Boy would be awesome on this list where it turns out the creepy ghost of the boy was not actually a ghost but the boy all grown up, living in the walls.
Shamir George Just watched that and yeah, did not see that coming. Normally I get pissed at the Scooby Doo "man in s mask" twist, but this time was an exception.
I know, maybe it's just me, but the non-supernatural twists seem to be the creepiest.
i thought the boy was alright anyway
BardicLiving ~ I agree. when it's something supernatural it's not as bad bc it's isn't real, depending on what sorta supernatural things you believe in. But when it turns out that something is real, like a real human being all along, it's totes creepier bc that means it's in the real realm of possibility. spooky shit yo
i think i saw somenting like that on an episode of Supernatural
The last 5 minutes of Terminator 3 are the only reason someone should watch that movie
Also, John Connors drifting existence without the war (or inner hate of machines), and Claire Danes spirit. Best parts of terminator 3 didn't had anything to do with any terminators at all, lol.
Yeah, it's the reason they should've skipped 3, and put that at the beginning of Salvation instead.
Argumemnon i don't know man...salvation is garbage anyways.
videogiocatore3 It's not very good, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it garbage. It was mildly entertaining, even if the ending was crap.
I still like t3 more than terminator salvation
de gustibus non disputandum est!
"The Skeleton Key" had a great plot twist that turned it into something great.
The ending to T3 absolutely saved it from being fairly mediocre to a fairly good film. I realize most people dislike it a lot more than I do, but if you going into it expecting a popcorn B-movie its not bad. Add the twist at the end and its actually quite good.
Enders Game has had the most impactful plot twist of any movie I've ever watched. I hadn't read the book so I was absolutely mortified when I found out it was all real and not a simulation.
Yeah, on the original Friday the 13th, I saw it when I was 12, with my best friend who was 2 years younger. We rented it on VHS along with a couple other movies for a sleepover because all the older kids said it was a "great scary movie". And no, nobody spoiled any of the plot for us. We just knew it was the 1st in the series of 3 (at the time) & it told how Jason came to be a psycho killer that couldn't be stopped. My friend spent most of the movie clinging to my arm scared while I kept thinking "When is it gonna get scary? Just a typical horror movie." Then by halfway through I was thinking "Obviously the nice lady is actually the dead kid's mom. She blames teen obsession with sex for the cause of her son's death by negligence. She's the one pretending to be normal but killing teens that she deems irresponsible, nothing supernatural here." Yet my friend was shocked at the "twist". I never understood how so many people said they were shocked. Had they somehow never seen another horror movie before that one? It's a standard plot that horror movies continue the storytelling tradition of adults telling teens not to sneak around to have sex or they will have severe consequences, like maybe die horribly.
Orphan was never a bad movie; it was a good movie with a great twist. Some people are easily bored.
+Cabochon1360 Liked the movie, but hated the twist. Up till then it really was a head trip. What happens when a child starts wanting the things an adult does, but can't have them? Little ways it happens all the time, but this case. Way down the rabbit hole as she went psycho. Just to toss the ideal and make it a dwarf in disguise? Totally ruined the head trip. Back to our safe place where everything is always what we think it is. :P
+Justicar333 Honestly if she had been an actual orphan the Orphan Activists would have boycotted the movie. I thought the movie was great.
+ControvT ^^ What is an orphan activist? Do you mean just people who support the ideal of adopting orphans? Is that an activist category now? I don't think supporting doing something makes one an activist. We would have to stat labeling people coffee activist, tea activists, or myself an energy drink activist. : D
+Cabochon1360 Orphan was piece of shit
Cabochon1360
My biggest problem with Orphan wasn't the pacing, but the ' evil kid' movie
cliche's: inept counselors, and naively stupid husbands- those two were the
worst in this film. I liked the more adult back story about the couple and the
girl. The sexual dialogue and content, kinda shocked me in theaters, but the
twist at the end was jaw - dropping for me and it worked pretty well.)
So the 'awesome plot twist' of Twilight is an amazing action sequence that doesn't actually happen?
...mmmk. sure.
they had to do something to keep thje boyfriends from killing their girlfriends for dragging them through 5 movies, building up to a ending that is just talking....least give them a glimpse of awesomeness heh.
Xaoran Chronicles I Just realize that how my friend reacted at the part was similar similar to how we reacted to endgame big fight
If I even started to watch this movies, 15-20 minutes in I'd be asleep.
"Who is that guy? Why is he made of pepperoni?!" Lol! That made Me laugh!!!😆😂🤣
"Terminator 2 is godlike" - my point exactly! Best Terminator by far including the recent attempts, although the last one seems to at least get back to the right path a bit
Nothing will ever come close to T2, that's for sure, but I actually really dug Genisys (despite the stupid name). Lots of cool, T2-esque throwbacks and moments. Plus Emilia Clarke.
Ok, I absolutely love Terminator 2, but I personally feel like the first Terminator is better.
Charles Bentley I mean w/out that one we wouldn't have had such a great sequel.
T2 is the perfect action movie.
Cool
Book of Eli was fantastic all around. Got this one wrong.
tru
Heck yea
Sir Michael J
Nope. It was terrible. I'll bet you liked The Road, also. That was terrible as well.
FrennisDaemon Fuck off both you and your negativety, it ain't needed here. Go watch some teletubbies while your at it, bet you'll like that.
lol trolls on trolls on trolls
I really appreciate the props given to the ending of terminator 3.
A Perfect Getaway with Milla Jolavich and Steve Zahn. The twist ending made you have to watch the movie again
That wasn't a twist. I saw that coming from the trailer.
Insane Ian The same to me in Usual Suspects but the critics love this, maybe the question not is the twist but the details of plot
my favorite scene was when arnold says to the other terminator "you are terminated" fucking loved it
I went to the theather to watch final destination 5 and when the twist was revealed everyone in the theather went ''oooh shit!'' or just ''ooohh''
"I saw R rated films at a young age and I turned out ok ". That Sleepaway Camp ending FUCKED ME UP as a kid! I felt like Horace in Monster Squad. I had successfully blocked it out until JUST now! Thanks What Culture.
Yeah I saw a lot of rated R films as a kid too, but that was then 90s. Yeah that scene in Sleepaway Camp was creepy.
The ending of The Mist (with Thomas Jane) was a pretty good one I thought.
Does that mean you found the rest of the film pretty terrible? Cause I thought it was at least half-way decent. This list is about movies which are otherwise near god-awful.
Oh yeh, you're right. Missed the part about it saving terrible movies (despite it being right there in the title lol. oops)
Well, some of this movies are not really terrible. Just normal, 5/10 movies. Although without that ending Mist is 6.5, in my humble opinion
I found the ending as a kick to the balls and I loved it for it
I will never watch it again because like any normal father, I'm not killing my child till I see fricking teeth!
Twilight one being so true, I remember going to this movie for my little sister's birthday, treating her to a movie and snacks as a present.
But the movie was boring as hell, and I could literally see all the other guys in the theater also nearly dozing off of just being completely uninterested, until this scene started and they all snapped right awake, while all girls faces just froze in absolute horror.
It was beautiful... Best few minutes of the entire thing.
You forgot 'The Mist'. An otherwise bland horror movie with no real plot. UNTIL! The final act. The father of a child , his wife and two old people run out of fuel trying to escape the city and think that the best way to go, is to shoot themselves. Their are 5 people in the car, but only four bullets. The dad kills everyone but himself, leaves the car and starts shouting at the mist. However, earlier on in the film, the son said that "the canadian army will help us". The dad thinks nothing of it and tries different ways to survive and ultimately desides to try and escape in a car with two elders and his wife at the end. When the dad stops shouting he finds something horrible. The canadian army actually did come to save them. The dad had just killed his son and his wife for nothing. The movie ends with him screaming as the canadian army moves through the city killing all the monsters. It made me cry and I don't cry easily.
+The Wanderer Not just the army coming but this mist starts to fade and we see the mother who everyone assumes was long dead, alive and well (with her kids i believe). i fucking love the movie ending because its so sad and horrible its the sort of things that often people are afraid to do in film even in horror . I do agree that the ending makes it memorable but wouldn't call it a twist(unless you read the book) or the movie a "bland horror movie with no real plot."
The movies plot is simplistic(or rather minimal) but it is there and works.Lets go to the store,Oh shit inter dimensional mist what should we do? It builds from there with characters building up to be as big of threats as the creatures(and ultimate being bigger) . Whether someone finds it bland i guess is more of an opinion. i like horror movies where people are isolated and the threat isnt just the monster or killer but the other people as well. Over all like the book its not overly amazing but i feel Frank like he often does nailed the adaption with the lil Stephen king things like the Dark tower poster ,"My life for you" and most of all that great ending that were we realize if they had just stayed calm and waited everything would have been fine(not the wife but still).
On slightly related note it suppose to be getting a show adaption so lets hope its better than the under the dome one also Dark tower is getting a movie.
+The Wanderer and the funny thing was Stephen King couldn't even write that ending in his story.
+NagualElias That ending was horrible & unnecessary. I'm amazed Stephen King agreed to it, especially since he wrote in his introduction to the Bachman books that he was still callow enough to believe in unhappy endings with his first novels.
there's also the fact that during the film the crazed woman says that God requires a sacrifice, meaning his child but then is subsequently killed. Then, at the end of the movie as soon as the child is shot the mist starts to clear...
I actually like T3! Not as much as the first two, obviously, but it has it's moments.
Everyone pans it, but you have to think of the bar that had been set by the two movies that came before it. Not great, sure, but still a decently competent action movie. Did not see that end coming, that's for sure.
I know. Seems that people forget how bleak it was. I think it saves the movie in general.
Yeah, I thought T3 is not a bad movie either. It's a decent one to end the trilogy with a good twist ;)
In a lot of ways, I prefer it over T2. Yeah, classic action flick, but it had Edward Furlong, and he is a blight on the screen. No charisma, a shrieking voice, and just generally annoying.
Yeah, it had its "moment" - the ending of which the dude with the British accent in the video pointed out.
I thought I was the only one who appreciated the twist of final destination 5 😭❤️
One of my favorite twists of all time. I remember being confused by the older phones and fashion. Then it all made sense.
Wait how is having an imaginary fight scene considered a plot twist thats saves a crap movie. That just makes it look more like crap
In the end, that imaginary fight scene averts all the real fighting and saves the lives of everyone involved. It was incredibly well done even though it didn't save the film or the franchise from being shit.
But technically the guy getting the vision could have used that to change the outcome in the battle I guess? Or delay the battle anyway and just say they'll withdraw to strike at a later date.
Marcus
Well How it should already kinda made a video on that situation
Cmon, The Book Of Eli was awesome...
ikr!
retweet
Yes! one of my favourite film.
+SystematicChaos Not as awesome as Final Destination 5 though! ;)
+SystematicChaos I loved it, and I loved The Bone Collector which he also said was crap
The Book of Eli was a great movie.
A GREAT MOVIE!!!
Eric McIntyre yeah I really loved the movie
The British movie "Exam" wasn't a terrible movie but it had a nice twist that tied things up nicely. At the beginning they are told that they have to answer one question, the only question but no details are provided about the question. In the end it is revealed that when they were asked if they had any questions, that was the question.
omg i just saw this the other day! Yeah definitely didnt suck....
This was one of the first movies I had watched on Netflix when I first got it and I was like YOOOOO THIS MOVIE JUST BLEW MY MIND!!
Is that the film with Malcolm Mcdowell where there person has to shoot somebody in order to get the job?
The T3 twist maybe good as a standalone thing for that particular movie, but the movie itself shouldn't have existed. It negates everything that was established in T2. They worked for the whole movie to change the future and then T3 happens and says "fuck you, this is a PG-13 franchise now and we need the world to end in order to sell tickets".
I disagree. Although T2 is a great action movie, it's plot made no sense. I hate temporal-causality, and I hate the idea that the machines only existed because people found their remains from the future which only existed in the past because they were built by the people that found their remains which came from the future but wouldn't have existed otherwise, wut?. Also, how would John Conner have been born with Judgment Day and time travel? T3 had every right to exist. When the Terminator says, "you did not stop Judgment Day, you only postponed it," that made sense. It dealt with the massive, _massive_ plot-holes dealt in T2, and it makes the entire saga come full-circle. I think it's underrated for that reason alone. I also think Salvation is underrated. Yeah, it's got plot-holes too, but it's still pretty good in a lot of way. Genysis I didn't even bother watching.
It makes sense if you accept the theory that Skynet more than likely inadvertently sent its machines to the past in one or more alternate realities, and not to the past timeline of its own current reality, which explains Skynet's lack of understanding of why it kept failing to complete its mission to destroy John Connor.
In fact, one has to take into account a couple of things. One, if not for the machines' intervention, Sarah would have gone on that planned date of hers with John's original birth father, and would have eventually ended up becoming pregnant with John anyway. Two, in regards to certain deleted/extended scenes from "T2", some events (e.g., John Connor's birth) were apparently always fated to happen, regardless of what reality they occurred in or how they happened, while others would not necessarily have happened at all.
Corinth Maxwell That had occurred to me as well, but multi-verse theory is never established in the Terminator series.
I guess I just like Nick Stahl as John Conner. I don't know why they couldn't get him to reprise the role in Salvation.
T1 and T2 are the real Teriminator movies
Terminator 3 is R-rated moron!!!
Saw 2, Final Destination 5, Sleepaway Camp, Friday the 13th - all GOOD movies
T3 was okay compared to where the franchise went afterwards.
Outerspaceman21 exactly. based on how that franchise noise dived t3 is simply the lesser of a great trilogy. t1 great , t2 godlike, t3 good enough.
Outerspaceman21 Love all the first three compared to the rest.
Never realized there was a third one... huh...
Outerspaceman21 i even don't mind SOME of salvation.
Casey Tatum As did I, if for no other reason than the T-800 attack at the end.
1. Nothing can save Twilight Saga.
2. Ender's Game ending was obvious half way thru the film.
3. Nothing can save Terminator 3.

Now that's a hell of a plot twist

That's enough about your weekend, let's talk about movies.

Loosely, but yeah.

I would rather you not have said that now I want to die
Love the film it was fantastic who would have thought she was a lolli wannabe psychotic killer! Epic twist and film overall
saw 2 was great tf
Along with Final Destination 5 and Friday the 13th.
You have The Book Of Eli portrayed incorrectly. The character Eli was a blind man when they apocalypse occurred; Actually as a result of said Apocalypse prior to this story taking place. A few side notes: That's why he was able to read brail & that is why his eyes become milky and dead only when he arrives to deliver the Bible to safety. Prior to that his eyes looked normal. Once the Earth was down to it's last bible and man was at their worst, God gave Eli his sight back in order bring the last known bible back to safety in order to get it printed again. I thought he was blind the whole movie too initially; But sadly because I'm a cinephile, I spent way to much time combing through the film & the writers statements. Maybe include an annotation or don't do anything at all. Just thought Id share that with you and or anybody else who takes the time to read this. Cheers.
i read it. but did you really need to comb through all that? i watched the movie once and took that away from it. wasn't even paying much attention to it.
Williambarela This video touched on many ideas that led to their conclusion. I had to also touch on many examples and or points to make the actual conclusion apparent. That's all. I appreciate the fact you understood the movie from the jump. A lot of people didn't however. Thank you very much for the response. Cheers ;)
But there are a couple things that dont quite add up then : how he constantly things like : you smell that? ( like when they heading to the ocean), or "you hear that?" . Not once does he make a remark that involves seeing something. This was done very purposely.
Just like in the first fighting scene where he first looks back to the tunnel prior to the fight, and then moments before retreats back into it, where all the sounds are so much clearer.
And how about the town shootout, he only and ever shoots at people the moment they fire at him, because that way he knows where they are standing. For the same reason he doesnt shoot at the bald guy (reddick or something) because he doesnt shoot at eli, so eli doesnt even know he is standing there.
Especially with the town shootout scene in mind, i believe eli was blind his entire journey
Meat to please you I understand where you're coming from. There are many things done in this movie to detract away from it's reality. If you read the directors interview about the movie he explains what it's actually about. The apocalypse took Eli's sight & gave him a mission. Once Eli accepted this mission he gave his eye sight back in order to complete it. You can see his eyes change from normal to milky white at the very end. Demonstrating that his eyes are functional up until the very end. Once his mission is complete he goes back the way he was; But again, don't take my word for it. Look up the directors interview and he'll go into more detail that might satisfy your curiosity. Thanks for the response. Cheers.
+The Epic Question I believe you but that doesn't explain Meat's objection. Why did they shoot the movie as if he was blind if he actually wasn't, but more so, do you have any evidence from the movie itself other than his eyes changing color or what the directors say, that he was actually blind. Of course the directors word is enough, but it lessens the movie if they shoot it for a twist that isn't actually the twist in my mind
I enjoyed Terminator 3 immensely. I thought the action was great.
MrOlliguitar Agreed. The chase with the crane or whatever and Arnold going through the building, and then the seeer gag, the toilet fight, the whole action stuff was great. And it made a ton of money, so, people liked it.
Well, I liked Terminator 3, even though I HATED the ending.
Robert Polanco What, with that world ending basically?
"Talk to my hand"
I love this movie and I hate fifth part
I LOVE Terminator 3 for that ending. It was GREAT.
Totally wrong about Ender's Game. In the book it was a total amazing surprise. My wife watched the movie and guessed it halfway. Which ruined the book with a fantastic twist. Im still pissed off about it.
yeah it was pretty obvious in the movie tat it was real.
JoelRiter Impressing considering that they hadnt introduced the simulators before the last third.
The book is always better. Just look at Maze Runner.
william timonen Didnt need to, the build up of it the way they did revealed something else was going on completely.
darkstar100x Excet Fight Club and in my opinion Willy Wonka. Im sure theres others. Even Chuck preferred the movie over the book proving its not impossible to do a good movie based on something, just requires not looking for a trend and trying to profit
No plot twist can save Roman Reigns at this point.
+Mish Mash Mush hahahaa
Theres still hope but its dying every week lol
Lol😂
+Mish Mash Mush What if he turns heel because though everyone expects it, no one believes it will happen.
what has he done?
i haven't watched wwe for like a year
I Really DO like 😍The Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines regardless of what anyone says about the movie 😅✌
same here
nothing can save twilight
Hahahahaha...
Why is he made of pepperoni???
I'm laughing my ass off
the beginning "who's that guy why's he made of pepperoni?" that was funny AF
You missed a bunch of movies! For example, every single Adam Sandler movie was absolute shit until that one part where they decide to roll the credits.
+MrTomservo85 An excellent comment.
kinda paused after you mentioned twilight as a movie saved. had to absorb that fully before crying
4:47 the fact that they also leave clues so you can see when you rewatch the movie, rather than it being a complete retcon makes it better too
I enjoyed T3 especially the twist ending.
The biggest problem with Book Of Eli is the fact that braille takes up more space then printed text and one book would not hold the whole bible. The braille bible is about 30 books, so the real twist is that he only has a small fraction of the bible.
Or maybe the twist is that he really has 30 books
I like to think that he had the rest of the bible memorized. It's that one book in brailie that gave him trouble, so he carried it around. Stupid, I know. But it gave me peace of mind.
The Cabin in the Woods. Instead of killing the virgin they smoked a joint and said fuck it. LOL Funny twist ever.
The cabin in the woods was awsome
When i saw the screen for saw 2 I thought it said Saw 11 and didn't really think twice about it.
+rekrn12345 Lol! I didn't even think of that, good one.
Number one should be the Mist. Ending tears your guts out.
+XCyclonusX That was one messed up ending.
+XCyclonusX The Mist is not a terrible movie. It's a great one. That ending makes it even greater.
+XCyclonusX While in the book (actually a short story), it ends with the main characters still going around with the car, and he is writing a diary in which he says something like "I don't know how this will end"... And that's it
***** Good thing we're talking about the movie and not the book.
Kajed8963 I wouldn't really say its a bad movie either. Its a typical Stephen King movie. And I usually find Stephen King movies very predictable and a little boring. His stuff is more suited to television IMO. But the Mists ending is one of the bravest endings I've ever seen in a movie. It literally leaves you sitting on the edge of your seat with your mouth wide open.
"The worst mistake ever made" i think thats what my aunt calls me
You forgot The Hunger Games series. Yeah, that had a great twist. The twist happens when you realize that you've been watching Dollar-Store Running Man the whole time, and thus never have a reason to watch any Hunger Games movie again.
+Ikrani Or the internet's favorite: it's a toned down Battle Royale.
Surprised Robot
No, see, Battle Royale didn't have a commentary to make about the media being exploited in a bread-and-circuses way with a modern context, thus leading to the hero, after watching several of their new friends get brutally killed during the televised event, turns the tables on the oppressive regime and uses that very same media outlet as a way to rally the people to revolution.
Pop quiz time: did I just describe The Running Man or the entire Hunger Games franchise?
Ikrani True, though the reason I mentioned BR is because it's the most popular comparison. Which is hilarious considering BR kinda rips off The Running Man to an extent, or it as least very similar in premise much like The Hunger Games.
Also, to answer your question: you described Death Race 2000! Ok, but seriously, you described both, but The Running Man (and Death Race 2000) did it first.
DID SOMEONE SAY GIGANTIC BALLS????
Holy shit it’s ragg tagg love your videos man
The plot twist in Dead Silence was absolutely incredible
I love the dead silence man I shit myself in the ending
I watch it most Hallowe'ens :)
+GanonTEK hell yeah :D
I watched it with my friends, and I was the only one who didn't see it coming. I don't regret though, I love that feeling of impression when the plot twist is revealed.
+bUrRiEdaLiVe6 yeah, I was pissed that the main guy got caught but it was awesome
ME TOO! When it's revealed that his dad has been a dummy the entire time! I have chills just thinking about it.
Terminator 3 had one of the best car chase or I should say multi vehicle chase scenes.
The first time I saw that scene, watching all the vehicles work together, all I could picture was all the vehicles combining together to form a giant robot, like the Stunticons into Menasor.
I hate it when stuff combines to form one terrifying titan. It's so meh.
Devastator, Transformers..
I love how you talk about bad movie. Makes me want to watch them. I genuinely enjoyed this video thank you
Wait! Hold the phone! People didn't like The Bone Collector?! That movie was great!
It's really just all about opinions.
Really, Orphan? Terrible my ass, it is an excellent movie.
Are you sure you're not thinking of 'The Orphanage'?
Iain Meldrum I am sure, although "The Orphanage" is great as well. The only thing I really disliked about "Orphan" was the character of the husband. He was so ridiculously dismissive of his wife that you would almost think he was the bad guy. He very poorly written and portrayed. Awful character.
I love how fast the pace is in this video. Keeps it from getting boring.
I thought Dead Silence was a good movie....
It was
Yuki Myco it was REALLY creepy.
Yuki Myco hell yea! That plot twist made the movie!!!
I love that movie too
Yuki Myco I thought "The Book Of Eli" was a great movie, but hated the twist in it.
FINAL DESTINATION 5 was a decent entree with characters we(mostly) did not hate or were douchy for no reason and was fun and funny too.
I remember seeing Terminator 3 in theaters. I actually really enjoyed the movie. But what I remember most of all was the theater was PACKED and we all laughed and cheered throughout the film. But when the bombs fell and John Conner gave his voice over to end the movie... the theater went dead silent. When the credits rolled there were no cheers, no laughs, no boos, no one even talking to each other. Pure silence as we strolled out of the theater. It was the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed.
I want to say "The Game"....but it wasn't a "terrible" movie, just long.... but it had the greatest ending of any movie I've ever seen (just above "The Sixth Sense").... IF you haven't seen it, watch it! Starts out slow (hang in there), picks up speed, and then the ending is epic. Michael Douglas and Sean Penn......
+19stalkern I'm not even a big thriller fan and I thought that movie was amazing. ^.^
Ariana W...Right?!?
+19stalkern I absolutely love this movie, but it's one of those mind blowing films that are good to watch only once.
Blergh. I'm gonna have to totally disagree. The movie was okay, but since it gave everyone arbitrary powers to commit impossible acts of deception, there turned out to be no reason to play detective and figure out whether , or what, was real and what was a game. And then it ends with the silliest deus ex machina I've ever seen. That ending is five kinds of impossible, and any chance I had to suspend my disbelief up until that time was dumped in the bin and pissed all over. But since you didn't have the same reaction, perhaps I'm the asshole skeptic who can't simply go with a movie premise and enjoy himself. Any UA-camrs on my side...?
Eric Goldlust Onoes! Spoilers! It's all ruined!
But seriously. XD
There's more than a few holes that can be poked into the movie so it wasn't brilliant or anything. I think most of David Fincher's movies are like that. But for back in the day when not every other movie was trying to make plot twists, it was definitely different. It's aged well for something made almost 20 years ago. It's not gonna win any best movie awards, but compared to most of the stuff that comes out these days, it can compete. Or maybe that's just nostalgia goggles for one of my first suspense movies when I was itty bitty.
Holy shit! Josh from until dawn is a vampire in twilight?! Mind=blown
He's also in Night at the Museum (probably the 2nd movie)
He's also the lead on a little show called Mr. Robot...
"Increasingly dead Jigsaw" was the funniest thing I've heard all week!
Had the complete opposite reaction to T3. The entire premise of The Terminator and T2 was that the future is not set and that the characters' actions determine their fate. Then T3 reverses the concept and suggests that nothing they could have done would have changed the future. It should have just had them fail rather than set forth the idea that they could never have possibly succeeded, which violates the previously established rules of the "movie universe."
Steven Turner I understand what you mean but the very existence of T3 (even without the plot twist) kind of destroys the idea that the future isn't fixed. In T2 John and Sarah suposedly destroy everything that would have made the Judgment Day happen, thus preventing anything else to happen in the future. The fact that there's even a follow up to that kind of proves nothing they did matter in the first place.
And I don't have much of a problem with this since John didn't dissapear by the end of the second movie (proving that the paradox that created him was still something that might eventually happen -and you know, in order for the paradox to happen you need the war between humans and skynet to happen and all)
Steven Turner the idea is that the future isn't set, sure. even in the movie, they said all they could ever really do is delay skynet. it was seen as an inevitability
Bear in mind that when T2 was released there was no such thing as the World Wide Web.
Each of the first three Terminators have a different take on time travel. The first is that you can't avoid what will happen. Sarah must have had an original baby daddy she doesn't meet in the movie thanks to the changed events, yet despite all that, still winds up birthing John, and taking the picture that John will give to Kyle, all of it resulting in a closed loop. The second says that events can be changed. The third goes with the middle line between the two... certain key things will happen, but you can change when/how they do.
Then there's the fifth, which says we need to invent time travel and hope the second is right, allowing us to stop the film from ever being made.
T3 reinforces the idea set in T1. Time is a circle. It just didn't do a really good job of it.
when Arnold dies, I die a little inside
"HAN SOLO DIES" hahahaha that nailed me lol
Ive always defended Terminator 3 for its amazing ending.
Personally I reject the notion that a twist can ever save or ruin a movie. Yes, it can make it better or worse, but if the first hundred minutes or so aren't good, it's still a bad film. And the reverse is true. Sunshine's a good example, I'm perfectly willing to admit that the ending has flaws (although I liked it more than most seem to), but it's still a good film.
Way too articulate for youtube. Get out.
And NEVER COME BACK!!!! LOL jk man
You have to consider the point of an ending, which is to provide catharsis for the build-up set by the previous scenes. A shitty ending invalidates the purpose of everything that comes before it. I don't think a movie can be _saved_ by a surprisingly smart ending, but it can certainly be ruined by a particularly bad one.
Obviously you've never seen one of my "short" comments...
"What the FUCK,
Who is that guy,
WHY is he made of pepperoni??" LMFAO!
Dude. The han solo died made me chock in my food hahahaha fucking brilliant xD
Am I the only one who really liked enders game throughout?
I actually thought they were trying to send us "Not everyone who is different is a monster" kind of message. And they could've expanded on that, alas we won't get any more enders game movies.
That's actually a very interesting concept which sort of puts you in a moral dilemma, I wish they made a sequel where they would explore this concept further. And I totally thing murderous bugs can be capable of empathy and have a moral compass, Because guilt and regret are powerful emotions and with sentience, comes emotions, maybe this queen has a better moral compass than those who came before her.
I will. Thank you for this discussion and for the suggestion!
+JoeRingo The "formics never meant us any harm" is explained in the sequel books to Ender's game. The formics can't communicate using telepathy instead of voices and body language. The first time the formics came to earth was with a scouting team. Then, they sent a queen and colony to terraform and colonize. They didn't realize humans were sentient because they couldn't speak with us. Eventually, humans beat the formics and the formics realized humans were sentient. However, humans didn't realize the formics wouldn't attack anymore, so they sent their own fleet of destruction. The formics actually gather all their queens on the home planet and die to Ender on purpose (not fully explained why; up to interpretation). Basically, the formics thought we weren't sentient.
JoeRingo118 No the book explicitly states they commuted suicide by Ender. Also, the young queen in the sequels is shown to have morals
I'm so happy that T3 is on the list! I was extatic when I realized that I had not seen what was coming and so lucky that I didn't try to figure out the end beforehand.
Saw 1,2,3, and 6 are actually pretty good
+sinister kiid 3 is where I stopped. Should I just watch 6 and call it a day?
+Joshua Droy honestly, even though 4 and 5 aren't great, they're still entertaining and have some great jigsaw traps and violence. I'd say they're Worth watching once
I may check em out. I liked the first one but just felt like 2 and 3 were generic horror movies. The first one is actually a great movie!
+Joshua Droy totally agree. The first one is brilliant and the others are generic, but still thoroughly entertaining (at least to me)
I agree, I like saw 3
Who the hell doesn't like The Book of Eli? And Orphan is a very well directed genre movie with an unbelievable performance by the 12-year old Isabelle Fuhrman. I don't know what you're talking about.
aww man i loved orphan lol, surprised when i saw it on this list xD
"Totally saved" is a bit misleading. These plot twists made bad movies slightly less bad...but maybe that is the twist of this video?
+Mike Morini That's what I was thinking.
3:25 bwhahahahahaha "hans solo dies" classic spoiler wrapped in phenomenal timing right there son!!!
Honestly, I already liked FD5 before the twist. It had the best CGI of the series, the most likeable set of characters, the second best lead, and even made a major improvement on the idea introduced in 3 of a human villain. The twist just solidified it as my favorite of the series.
This video is still a better love story than twilight.
The Book of Eli wasn't even bad, people just got pissy because it's generally a religious movie
Isaiah Towers It wasn't that good. Just another generic apocalyptic movie where the survivors are living in a desert in a bombed out Barstow for good discernible reason. Every bad post apocalypse movie is marked by survivors and their questionable real estate decisions, living in radioactive deserts instead of moving to the now depopulated coasts. I hate that.
The plot twist in Orphan blew my mind with I saw it 🤯 Still recommend it as a good movie though 👍🏻
Atleast adam's here.
+Aj Styles Beats RomanReigns Adam is one of the main reasons why I watch this channel.
Man you are gonna feel really silly when he loses. WWE invested all their time into Reigns just to let him fall now. I myself have nothing against Reigns but rather the piss poor booking they give him. And he has the title and this is going to be his "proper" run with it.
+Quavion Deering I agree w both of you, I believe reigns will lose first then turn heel beat the holy bejeeses out of styles on his heel turn, and win a series in the next two to retain.
the other movies on this list? whatever.
but Terminator 3 is good because they blew up the world? brilliant right? no, it isn't they only did that to be able to make more movies. all T3 is is to re-write the ending of T2. you know? the ending where they already stopped Judgement Day? the whole plot of that film? the reason that movie was called 'Judgement Day'? the whole message of T2 (and the original btw) was that you have your destiny in your own hands, that the future isn't fixed. then T3 comes along and says ''nope, it's fixed because we need more monah'' T3 is just a big middle finger to the first two films.
henkman00 chill bro. you r right but chill
Dimidia Luce.
okay, but promise you will never let me go...HOLD ME!!!
Terminator 3 had to end with an apocalypse otherwise the first two movies make no sense. In order for the terminators to be sent back in the first two movies there has to be an apocalypse and a war between the machines and humans. I was angry at the ending of Terminator 2 because I knew there had to be a judgement day for it to make sense to even send back the terminators in the first place. I knew they couldn't stop judgements day.
+Kingdxm / Exactly why time travel movies are kinda bullshit.
Unless you specifically set up Multiverse theory as how shit works, going back in the past would solve nothing because if you prevented the thing that made you want to go back into the past, you would have never gone back into the past in the first place thus ensuring that it happens which ensures that you go back into the past and once again fail to prevent it.
Hell, SKYNET should have been intelligent enough to figure that out and never bothered sending a Terminator back to deal with Sarah in the first place.
RaithSienar.
but Skynet did send a Terminator back in time and so it must have known that in the universe the story takes place in history can be altered.
many people seem to think that time travel stories can only work in one way: you go back kill your grandfather and you don't exist anymore, so your grandfather was never killed. aka the grandfather paradox. people expect cause and effect to work no matter what happens.
but that sucks out all the drama out of allot of time travel fiction.
however, storytelling isn't limited to just one way to tell a story.
Terminator 1 and 2 (and not T3 or T5. they broke the series time travel rules)
use the bootstrap paradox. this is a far more flexible and more interesting way of story telling. this paradox allows the time traveler to go back in time, kill their grandfather and still survive. the bootstrap paradox allows for time anomalies to exist. this allows John Connor to live even when he never send his dad back in time when Skynet's creation was prevented.
let me give an example:
say time travel exist in say the 26th century. and a time traveler uses it to travel all over time. meets famous people. was there for allot of historical events. then the traveler comes up with an idea: he wants to meet the person who invented time travel. so he goes back to say, the 23rd century. and he takes the blueprints of the original time machine with him for the inventor to sign. he rings the doorbell and explains to the inventor how much the inventor is admired for time travel in his future. however, the inventor has no idea what the traveler is talking about. but looks over the blueprints. the inventor then asks ''can I keep these? you know. just as a reminder of our meeting'' the traveler thinks nothing of it, after all, this was the person who invented the thing in the first place. how's that going to mess up time? the inventor signs something else and the traveler leaves. the inventor will now build the time machine. and history records everything as the traveler saw it.
it's this concept that James Cameron used for Terminator 1 and 2.
if Skynet didn't send the first Terminator back then Skynet wouldn't have been invented in the first place. that act alone shows how flexible time is in the Terminator universe (well, the first two films)
you should do top list of plot twists that save directors careers:
1.- M Night Shyamalan- Split
Wow that jab as harrison about solo, kinda harambe.
Harsh i ment harsh jesus
