CHRIS IS DEFINITELY GETTING ARRESTED FOR MURDER. Get Out teases this before revealing his friend is there at the end, not the cops, but the police are still going to get him for killing that family eventually. His only explanation, involving hypnotism and brain transplants, will sound like lunatic ramblings. CRACKED.COM — Source

38

LAUGHTER KILLS THE SCARING INDUSTRY IN MONSTERS, INC. That's not necessarily bad. Free energy would be great in our world. But the hundreds of newly unemployed workers here happen to be monsters. Monsters with a new grudge against happy human children ... CRACKED.COM — Source

37

POST-SUPERMAN RETURNS, WHAT HAPPENS TO CLARK'S SON? Having been abandoned by his father for the second time, he now has good reason to bear a grudge against Superman. And he has superpowers. Sounds like a supervillain in the making ... and, honestly, we're kind of rooting the kid in this fight. CRACKED.COM — Source

36

AFTER HARRY POTTER, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DEMENTORS? The Death Eaters, who assembled in groups and came right to the heroes, were nothing compared to these guys, now loose and free to kill all of humanity. J.K. Rowling might throw out some solution now, but going just by the books, all was well means millions of muggle souls eaten. CRACKED.COM — Source

35

Stuart Little

STUART LITTLEWILL BE CAT FOOD IN A MATTER OF DAYS. Even at the end of the movie, the cats can still get inside the Little home whenever they want. Stuart is in just as much danger now as he was in the tensest part of the story. Best-case scenario, he survives but lives the rest of his life in crippling fear. CRACKED.COM — Source

34

IS GETTING OLD MEMORIES BACK GOOD OR BAD? Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind leaves the answer slightly open, but most memory-erasing clients will be forced to recall stuff much worse than heartbreak. Think about what causes real trauma. A bunch of customers are about to get major PTSD. CRACKED.COM — Source

33

THE FINAL DOG FIGHT IN TOP GUNSHOULD BE A HUGE DEAL. The pilots have forced the US into a de facto state of war with whatever nation commanded those MiGs. It's only a matter of time before said unnamed country addresses the UN about how America violated Article V of General Assembly Resolution 3314. CRACKED.COM — Source

32

Jess! THE GOONIES' TREASURE حيم a WON'T SAVE THEM. Reel stight 1632 The The government will very likely lay claim to the loot, citing the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979. That law forbids removing materials of archaeological interest from federal property without a permit. CRACKED.COM — Source

31

WHAT HAS CHANGED AT THE END OF THE RUNNING MAN? Ben's cleared his name, great. But the movie opened by telling us about a dystopia with poverty and a ruthless police state. No one has done anything to fix that in the slightest. Plus, Ben just got the nation's favorite show canceled. CRACKED.COM — Source

30

Fight Club

NO WAY HE'S GETTING AWAY WITH THAT IN FIGHT CLUB. Are we supposed to believe authorities won't be able to tie him to all those bombs? They surely will, he's definitely going to jail, and he can't even plead insanity by citing dissociative identity disorder, because he's now cured. CRACKED.COM — Source

29

HOW ARE PEOPLE IGNORING ALL THE DEATHS IN GODZILLA? The newspapers at the end of the movie go with the headline King Of The Monsters-Savior Of Our City? That's the happy takeaway from the events that transpired, apparently. Not, say, the astronomical toll of science-defying beasts battling in a major population zone. CRACKED.COM — Source

28

TWO WORDS: ENDOR HOLOCAUST. The Death Star's destruction in Return of the Jedi would destroy all life on that Ewok-filled moon. As astrophysicist published a detailed analysis covering everything from the tonnage of debris to the radioactivity of the reactor core. Disney fanfic sequels can't undo that. CRACKED.COM — Source

27

AFTER CHINA'S SCHEME IN GOLDFINGER, AMERICA SURELY DECLARES WAR. Proof? Though the series is all about global intrigue and exotic locales, Bond doesn't visit China, or even see a Chinese person, until Tomorrow Never Dies 30 years later-enough time for a generation to recover from the fallout (both political and radioactive) of a massive nuclear strike. CRACKED.COM — Source

26

SENDING DOWN MED BAYS AT RANDOM SAVES EARTH IN EL YSIUM? When those magical cancer- erasing beds are shipped down to Earth, they'll definitely be claimed by the violent criminals we've seen running things throughout the movie. We've traded medicine controlled by the elite for medicine controlled by warlords. CRACKED.COM — Source

25

24

INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE LEAVES A GIANT HOLE IN THE ATLANTIC. Best-case, this leads to a massive, inescapable whirlpool and mega-tsunamis. Worst-case, a superheated wave will bring dangerous materials from the very bowels of our planet and spew them into the atmosphere. CRACKED.COM — Source

23

Beauty and the Beast

EVERYONE FORGETS BEAUTY AND THE BEAST'S TRUE VILLAINS. The wolves. They're ferocious enough to make travel from the castle all but impossible, and that's when Beast had his animal strength. As for the village's best hunter, Gaston? He's dead. Belle and her prince will never be able to leave the castle again. CRACKED.COM — Source

22

THE ODDS LOOKS BAD FOR SIL VER LINING PLAYBOOKS GAMBLERS. Robert De Niro's character wins big betting on the Eagles. But Philly is one of the most unlucky cities in America for sports fans. The complulsive gambler will lose big if he ever bets again-and compulsive gamblers always do bet again. CRACKED.COM — Source

21

ALIENS RUIN LIVES. THAT'S NOT MAGICAL. THAT'S TERRIBLE. After Roy's Close Encounter of the Third Kind, he goes crazy and ultimately loses his job, his home, and his family. Dozens of others are drawn to Devil's Tower the same way, having abandoned their lives in the pursuit of this sudden obsession. CRACKED.COM — Source

20

WHAT HAPPENS TO NUNS FROM THE SOUND OF MUSIC? The ones who helped the Von Trapps escape? The Nazis wouldn't take long to realize who sabotaged their cars. Even if they aren't killed outright, the offending nuns would definitely be sent to a labor or concentration camp. CRACKED.COM — Source

19

HOW WILL DJANGO MAKE IT OUT OF THE SOUTH ALIVE? IKE The movie already established that the sight of a black man on horseback stops traffic wherever he goes. And that was before he turns up on every wanted poster in the nation as the single greatest spree killer the South has ever known. CRACKED.COM — Source

18

Awful Plot Twists Planet of the Apes (2001) Sure, Tim Burton's remake had big shoes to fill. But if the Ape Lincoln Memorial scene had made just a bit of sense, it might've been actually interesting. But no, it was a non-sequitur meant to shock, but not to withstand the immediate question: Wait, what? CRACKED.COM — Source

17

Awful Plot Twists Terminal (2018) This glossy thriller has a convoluted plot with everything you would expect from the genre, except for the reveal that Margot Robbie actually plays twin characters, which changes absolutely nothing. CRACKED.COM — Source

16

Awful Plot Twists Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (2013) A bored housewife in a boring marriage has an affair with a hot billionaire who turns out to be a psycho. Classic erotic thriller stuff. But then the movie ends with her getting AIDS and living the rest of her life alone, as some sort of cosmic punishment. Yikes. CRACKED.COM — Source

15

Awful Plot Twists Sweet Girl (2021) Jason Momoa and his daughter hunt the pharma bros who discontinued the medication that would have saved her momma. The plot twist is that Momoa's character is dead-or, to be more precise, that a five-foot-tall girl fights like a hulking Jason Momoa. CRACKED.COM — Source

14

Perfect Stranger

Awful Plot Twists Perfect Stranger (2007) Halle Berry is trying to find out if Bruce Willis killed her friend. Plot twist: She did, and she's actually trying to frame him. That's sorta interesting, but James Foley's direction is clumsy and fails to deliver. CRACKED.COM — Source

13

Awful Plot Twists Hide and Seek (2005) In one of many career lows, Robert De Niro is worried about her daughter having an murderous imaginary friend. It all ends in the lame split personality plot twist that was everywhere in the mid-2000s, but even worse. CRACKED.COM — Source

12

Awful Plot Twists Last Christmas (2019) Emilia Clarke just had heart surgery last year, and now met a hunky single guy around Christmas. If you know the first verse to the song Last Christmas, you can already guess the reveal. Even the trailer made no attempt at hiding it. CRACKED.COM — Source

11

Awful Plot Twists Savages (2012) Two drug dealers love a woman, and they all live happily. That's it. No tension, no conflict, no nothing. There is a crime drama that ends with everyone dead, but that turns out to be happening only in Blake Lively's mind, so it doesn't matter. Another baffling plot twist: it was directed by Oliver Stone. CRACKED.COM — Source

10

Awful Plot Twists Glass (2019) Dr. Staple being part of the metahuman-killing secret society made us feel nothing - and then came the death of Bruce Willis' Unbreakable character in a puddle of mudd. Next: M. Night Shyamalan dos a sequel to The Sixth Sense in which they're all robots! CRACKED.COM — Source

9

Awful Plot Twists Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021) In a series full of hokey plot twists, the gritty and serious reboot gives us the hokiest yet. The Jigsaw- inspired killer is a cop whose father was murdered by corrupt cops, which OK, fair enough. But the twist is given away by the fact he supposedly dies- but we never even see his body. CRACKED.COM — Source

8

Awful Plot Twists Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) So the plot twist here was aliens, right? We wish! No, the twist was the aliens' secret. Or treasure. Whatever. It is knowledge, that's what everybody was searching for, knowledge. Or friendship. Or the meaning of Christmas, it's not like it mattered. CRACKED.COM — Source

7

Serenity

Awful Plot Twists Serenity (2019) A boat captain is asked by his ex-wife to save her and their son by killing her abusive partner. You could make a decent thriller with that plot. But director Steven Knight tried to outsmart everyone by having it all be a dream video game. CRACKED.COM — Source

6

Awful Plot Twists Safe Haven (2013) A woman accused of murder hides out in a small town, falls for a hunky widower, and becomes besties with her neighbor. It turns out she was acting in self- defense, and her abusive husband is alive and looking for her. But the real twist is that the neighbor is actually the widower's ghost wife. CRACKED.COM — Source

5

Awful Plot Twists Remember Me (2010) A tale as old as time: Boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy dies on 9/11. This absolutely tasteless ending is the only reason anyone remembers this movie. The only good thing about this twist is that it is consistent with the icky insistence on using personal tragedy for sympathy points. CRACKED.COM — Source

4

Awful Plot Twists The Forgotten (2004) A woman mourning the death of her son is told he never existed, and that she's going crazy. The entire movie is just an excuse to get to the good stuff: What is really going on is aliens, and the scares leading up to it are just corny and try-hard. CRACKED.COM — Source

3

Awful Plot Twists Spectre (2015) Blofeld turns out to be Bond's brother-a plot twist that had already appeared as a joke in the third Austin Powers movie. On top of that, he's revealed to be the mastermind behind all the other Craig films, which is also totally not groovy, baby. CRACKED.COM — Source

2

Awful Plot Twists The Life of David Gale (2003) Director Alan Parker thought an anti-death penalty professor framing himself to get the death penalty was an argument against it, somehow. Also, it's Kevin Spacey, so the whole he's actually innocent thing has aged like... Well, like every Kevin Spacey role. CRACKED.COM — Source

1

Awful Plot Twists Now You See Me (2013) Not only was Mark Ruffalo's FBI agent character the mastermind behind it all, but he also investigates the crime he himself planned! It is truly one of the most nonsensical twist endings ever, however sleek it tries to appear. CRACKED.COM — Source
