Scenes in a movie that shocked the whole audience (might be a spoiler or two)
Okay I watched Law Abiding Citizen yesterday at the show which has Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx. Good film and it's the last time I pay attention to the reviews in the Toronto Sun.
Anyways there was a scene in the movie that stunned the whole theatre. For those that saw it you know what I mean but without spoiling it, the scene is an untimely bomb that you'd never see coming that kills a person. I'm a seasoned vet when it comes to watching horror/thriller/action films and I usually can sense when a scary part is coming up except that time. But let's name some moments that no one saw coming. This isn't reserved for the scariest moments in cinematic history but rather ones that caught you by surprise. I don't mean twist endings either but moments - seconds even - that stunned the whole theater. You'll see what I mean:
The above scene I was talking about in Law Abiding Citizen
The scene where the girl is hit by the bus in the first Final Destination. "Why don't you drop dead!" SMACK!
The Departed at the end when Leo Dicaprio gets shot in the head
In I Know What You Did Last Summer, for some reason I didn't see the part coming where Anne Heche knocks on the car door window of Jennifer Love Hewitt's. No one else seemed to as well. Anne Heche just creeped me out in that part of the movie

Def the scene in the Departed where Leo gets popped.
I don't know if this fits in with the idea of this thread, but in the movie Seven, where the killer reveals himself. Low shot of him getting out of the cab, you see the bloody hands. Pitt and Freeman are walking up the stairs at the P.D., he yells DETECTIVE!!!!! Then the camera pans up from the bloody hands up to Kevin Spacey's face and he says..."You've been looking for me."
At the time Spacey still had the reputation of being the creepy cool guy and it just gave the movie such a boost. I remember people in the theater being shocked. Awesome moment. Posted via Mobile Device
Not so much a scene change, but the whole atmosphere change in Shaun of the Dead when his mom turns. Just a moment before they were bludgeoning a zombie to a Queen song, and now it's kind of really ****ing serious.
I don't know if you would call it shocking or not, but in No Country For Old Men, when Llewellyn Moss suddenly gets killed off screen by a Mexican drug cartel. It was a serious "WTF" moment, in fact I remember someone in the audience say "That's how he dies? That's it?" It was very anti-climactic, most of us had been thinking Anton Chigurh would be the one to do it. So it was a shock...in a weird way.
I must be stupid but it didnt surprise me, guess I missed the gist of this movie cause I thought it was a dude all along. I didnt even realize we were supposed to be thinking he was a girl.

Really? you didn't see the bus thing coming? I mean the guy see's a bus as a "vision" moments before,that should have given it away right there.

Wasin't part of that scene shown in commercials so how was that a scene you didn't see coming?
Anything directed by Martin typically have that type of "Hamlet" style resolution of everyone dying or someone who you didn't think wasn't going to get plugged.
For me it was Dr. Strangelove. In the book it was based off of, the bomb was never dropped and the Doomsday machine was never activated. Book, entirely different and it just kind of got me like "woah"

in "the ring", the scene where it shows the dead girl in the closet. Her face is just so creepy.
Some people call it the scariest scene of all time. A ton of people left the theatre after that.
BTW, that is the creepiest movie of the last 20 years IMO.
Its THE worst movie i've ever seen in my life.Maybe not the worst movie ever made but definetly the worst i've ever seen. The ring and the grudge can both burn horrificially in the biggest hole in the universe.

I thought The Ring was actually worth watching, but I saw the original Grudge in my Japanese history class over last summer...it sucked. It was laughably bad, to the chagrin of the teacher. SO I can only imagine the American remake was terrible.
no one told me the ship sank
