What About Finding out the Girl Was really a dude In The Crying Game
Yeah, I considered that one. Well, I suppose I could add it.
*twitch* *twitch* Killer kid... must... stop... frothing at mouth...
uhhh... what?
If I recall correctly, our man Cosgrove hated that movie.
That would be putting it mildly.
Wait, is THAT the twist you hated so much (the one on lukeprog's list)? Or were you talking about the other twist?
Well, I hated them both. But the killer kid just sent the film spiraling to new depths of idiocy that few films can touch.
Oh, okay. Then I guess I would half-retract my previous comments on Identity. I thought the other twist didn't ruin the film, but I do agree that the KK twist was pretty lame.
I saw The Emperor Strikes Back as a kid because I was so caught up in Star Wars and of course wanted to continue the series, but when the "I am your father" scene came on, I don't think I really knew or understood what was going on. I watched the first trilogy a year or so ago, I still got the chills as that scene came and went. I would love to not show my kids (whenever I have kids) Emperor so they can be shocked when they see it at an age where they truly understand it.
I didn't see the Star Wars films until I was twelve or so, so I guess I never considered that idea. I suppose many if not most of these twists wouldn't be comprehensible to someone of young age.
