Awesome movie endings

[Liam]

Titanic's ending was a big shock.

BWAHAH

Yeah, I appreciated this comment.

The End of Evangelion:

"OMG Asuka's alive WTF"

Although really the only reason this is a swerve is because the first time you watch this movie you don't know what the fuck's going on by this point anyway, so pretty much anything would come as a huge shock at this stage.

It also probably didn't help matters that I watched the first half second and the second half first...

Eh, it probably made about as much sense!

Dude...seriously, the fuck?

You watched the second half of a film first, then the start? You watched it backwards? :blink:

To be fair, it does come in two parts...

Even if they are on the same disc, and quite clearly numbered (25 and 26).

I suppose if you watched them the other way round, the ending would have been "OMG Asuka's dead WTF" instead. >_>

Along with the "hey, nobody's orange gloop anymore!" bit.

Woah...woah....woah... when did we get this thing?

[Jester of Death]

I haven't watched this in a long time, wouldn't Empire Strikes Back, "I am your father". Be a swerve?

And to add, how do you work the Spoiler function, that is the coolest.

EDIT: I made a spelling mistake, sorry

Probablly Swordfish

Halle Berrys character isn't really dead

[stokeriño]

I was thinking Swordfish...but then when I saw it I wasn't really thinking "OMG SWERVE" so much as "Hah, well played my man, well played!"

Why that may have beeen, I haven't a fucking clue.

I liked Kill Bill Vol. 2. Not the actual ending, but when she expects to fight Bill and then BAM!

Her daughter is alive

[Guest DiamondDust]

That was more of a shock to her, not to us

[Godfatha]

Executive Decision. Why? Because I just saw it, and for a movie advertising Steven Seagal, he's in it for like 3 and a half minutes.

That and it's not an ending either.

The Sum of All Fears, again not for the ending but rather for the

fact that they actually detonated a nuclear weapon. Usually they wouldn't."

[The Third Dukes]

"Witness for the Prosecution". Go rent it sometime. I guarantee you that you'll never see the ending coming. I can't even explain it in one line. But it's brilliant.

The Life of David Gale

My favourite "swerve" endings are

The Usual Suspects

Identity

Fight Club

Unbreakable

Kiss The Girls

But one of my favourite swerves comes halfway through a film, in 15 Minutes where.....

De Niro's detective gets offed by the killers

[Ruckus]

What about the original ending to Clerks? It's not a proper swerve, but I never saw that ending coming.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Empire Magazine had their top ten film swerve endings a couple of months back, including Fight Club, Planet Of The Apes, Usual Suspects, Citizen Kane...But I can't be bothered to get the mag out of the lounge.

For me, my favourite endings with an unexpected / swerve ending:

Apocalypse Now

Fight Club (Jack/Tyler)

Alien (the unknown actress (at the time) survives)

Zatoichi (dance finale out of nowhere)

Italian Job (I've got an idea)

American Psycho (he's actually lost it completely)

Vanilla Sky (dream)

The Sting (fantastic)

Big Fish (all the stories are actually partly true)

There's more but I can't think of 'em right now...

Without a doubt, "Passion of the Christ"

Without a doubt, "Passion of the Christ"

I waited 3 minutes then for a shifty to pop up...But it didn't.

Read your Bible man! Nothing swervy about that ending! (Y)
