20 Amazing Movie Plot Twists That Never Get Talked About
Video Overview & Insights
These brilliant twists deserve far more attention, completely recontextualising their movies while somehow remaining absent from most discussions.
"Fallen" was SOOOO underrated. SO glad 2 see it on this list....
00:00 Intro
00:30 Arlington Road: Faraday Framed for Terrorism
The Lincoln Lawyer [film] and Blood Work were great. I love Michael Connelly and Harlan Coben's film and TV adaptations.
01:49 Dead Man’s Shoes: Brother Was Dead
02:52 22 Jump Street: Boss’s Daughter Reveal
One plot twist that I got a kick out of (and couldn't believe I didn't see coming) was in Crazy, Stupid, Love.
03:52 Primal Fear: Disorder Was Faked
05:10 The Perfection: Charlotte Saves Lizzie
In Fallen--just can't say enough about how awesome both John Goodman and Denzel are in this one
06:20 No Way Out: Farrell Is Yuri
07:35 The Visit: Grandparents Were Impostors
Love Perfect Getaway. Great cast and fun movie
08:53 Don’t Look Now: Killer Revealed
10:02 The Last American Virgin: Karen Returns
You absolutely missed The Others with the insane conclusion that they were dead the whole time.
11:02 Sorry to Bother You: Human Horse Twist
12:14 The Orphanage: Accidental Death Revealed
So happy Fallen finally made the list...it's my favorite plot twist
13:20 Enemy: Spider Woman Twist Explained
14:27 A Perfect Getaway: Married Killers Revealed
The only movie on this list I've actually seen before was the perfection. Thank you for having a list of movies that are not already widely viewed and including descriptions that lead us to feel intrigued enough to watch these movies! I don't see lists like these very often.
15:29 What Ever Happened to Baby Jane: Blanche Lied
16:35 Fallen: Narrator Was Azazel
The twist in The Visit just made the movie make no sense at all, where it previously only made a very small amount of sense. Even if you like the movie, there’s no denying this just made it awful.
18:02 My Old Ass: Chad’s Fate Revealed
19:16 Magpie: Annette’s Deception Revealed
I watched Primal Fear as a teenager and never knew the name of the movie. I found that twist awesome.
20:26 ICU: No Supernatural Twist
21:34 Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die: Son Reveal
It feels like Primal Fear is often on a 'Top Movie Twists' list.
22:36 Red Lights: Tom Had Telekinetic Powers

For the perfection movie--I think you miss why she made her cut her own arm off, it was to free her from him using her aptitude for the violin as his cover for molestation, which is what he did to the main character and what freed her, or so I assumed

Lucky Number Slevin has a great plot twist and should be on this list.
@depalma13Perfection sounds stupid.. there are million other better ways to save someone from getting abused than drugging then enough to the point the remove their own arm..
@Okamiiee5:55 she cut her hand so she wouldn't be a pray to a pradator?!!!!!!! huh?!
@NeroEllaAnyone who likes thrillers knows the amazing The Orphanage. And it's in every respectable list of best plot twitsts ever. And baby Jane? Just HISTORY of cinema. Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die is amazingly insane! You cound've included Next on the list. I've never seen it's plt twist on a list and I was gagged!
@sitepausadramaticaNo Way Out is SOOO good. Watched it three times I think.
@metteh.j.4836Why am I craving doughnuts?
@ownnquillen1607I was just talking about Denzel the other day and how he don't be in many horror movies
@jacktaylor6155I hope The Boy is on this list
@jacktaylor61558:51 the visit is why I don't watch previews anymore. It was as easy to guess as 1+1
@jacktaylor6155Hey there. Superb list. I would like to add the plot twist of crazy stupid love. Great twist that I don't think gets talked about nearly enough.
@zwatster1013No Terminator 2 :'(
The whole opening of the film is structured that you dont know who the good/bad robot is. Until the hallway scene. John comes face to face with Arnie... slow mo push on his face. "She wasn't crazy"... He runs back. Cop with a gun.. Looks back at Arnie.. "Get down"...
One of the most badass moments in cinema ruined by the marketing campaign. Can you imagine how we'd talk about this film if no one had known?
Night hunter 2017,the hills run red, bereavement,the waiting 2014,island of death,my bloody Valentine,the 4th man,all the boys love Mandy lane
@Miamirocker-c7hMore,. The Perfect Host, The Awakening, The Heretic The Life Of David Gale, and 1973's The Other.
@theonellakats2443No Way Out I think is possibly my favourite KC movie - hmmm tight race with Bull Durham. And the twist was fabulous!
@millicentshowThe “captain’s daughter” scenes in 22 Jump Street still makes me laugh every time I see them. I’m not sure I’ll ever get tired of them.
@nolihernandez9173Dude maybe I’m showing my age here but No Way Out was always in the public consciousness during my entire childhood. People definitely remembered that ending.
@virginiaordayaThe last few plot twists that still remain in this world, all spoiled in one video.
@vincentlequang2The twist in Frailty was jaw dropping. So good.
@Marshako23Arlington Road is just an underrated amazing movie.
@msr91331here's a twist. most of shablablablah's work is crap.
@mccbuddytaras663712 Monkeys
Traitor
Wild Things
Nearly every episode of the Twilight Zone
Planet of the Apes -- 1968
Not sure I’d class Fallen as a horror film, excellent though
@russellbarclay907Half of these actually get talked about quite a lot. Hell, they’ve been in a lot of list videos because of the twists.
Why not actually talk about twists from movies that aren’t talked about a lot. Like the twist ending in The Game starring Michael Douglas? That movie is a hidden gem that doesn’t get anywhere near the love that it deserves.
One of the best "Never saw that shit coming" moment was the ending of the film "Atonement."
@blebhan8213Bro I love ya but that trim needs to be sorted out
@lewisporter6987Strange Darling had a cool twist midway through the film. Too bad the moive went unnoticed by most moviegoers.
@claymccoyCrazy Stupid Love - what a fantastic and earned and pleasurable twist in that underrated movie
@trepiefan53The Island - that twist got me as a teen
@eLuckEWhat makes the Primal Fear ending even worse is that Roy, in the same breath when admitting to Aaron's non-existence and admitting his joy to killing archbishop Rushman, also admits to killing the missing girl, a detail that most people seem to gloss over.
@gonzar09I've always loved the movie No Way Out... It's always been my favorite Costner movie.
@robmsmithdumbhandleYou should check out Soylent Green.
@MegaMbembe15:16
“Victimses”?
Untuckit
@tazimusics“But ya are Blanche,ya are in that wheelchair “ 😂
@CashelOconnellyI would also add the movie Shattered with Tom Berenger. I never hear anyone talk about that movie. I thought it was really good and didn't see the twist coming.
@melissasmith797I love Arlington Road! I never hear anyone talking about it.
@AUMaryNo Way Out unfortunately suffers from having two movies with the same title released after it so that it's become harder to find. But it ranks up there with The Usual Suspects as a mind-warping puzzle of a movie.
