Never seen a glass table that hasn't been broken. Every one has at least one corner broken off. And I don't believe that anyone is producing one capable withstanding a human thrown on it.
Glass is a weird material. It can be strong on two sides, but not all four. I worked at a factory that made glass doors and windows that could stand up to hurricanes. If you hit that glass with a ball peen hammer dead center, you'd get a scratch or maybe a small crack. Hit it on the edge, though, and that window glass would either turn into tiny pellets or fracture across the whole thing, depending on if it's just tempered or it's got a plastic inner layer. Glass can be strong or catastrophically fail depending on where you hit it.
@@Beckithy It gets even worse when you really think about it. The bible thumpin lady, who was getting crazy in the market, if you really look at it, was telling them the correct thing to do the whole time. As if she had a spiritual insight into what was really happening. Even though she was so easy to hate, and write off as crazy, she was right in everything she said. And that really hurts when basically the part that made them leave the store was "We need to sacrifice this child." So you then come to the realization, if he didnt shoot his own son, there would have been no rescue. The entire thing only ended BECAUSE of that final sacrifice of the child. Very dark.
Mrs. Doubtfire ending was perfect. I'm so glad they spoke up and changed the ending. It was still a happy ending but showed that happy endings come in many different types and not just what we may think they are.
Pffft... happy ending... it's a movie about how a devoted father had to resort to begging to be able to see his children. How he was openly told by the court that mothers are favored in divorce proceedings. How, instead of getting the alimony he rightly deserved as well as the default custody of the kids being their primary caretaker, he was kicked out of his house and told to find a job pronto if he wanted to see his kids at all.
@@SerbAtheist Wow, you are clueless. How was he the primary caretaker? And what the hell is default custody? It was shown from the beginning that he was an irresponsible parent. And yes, mother's are favored because in the vast majority of cases they are the ones doing most of the work. This country gives so much props to a man who spends the day with his kids, nevermind the fact that the mother's are doing over 90% of the actual care taking.
@@richardhockey8442 The best part is even people who hate the main character now debate whether or not he was supposed to be the bad guy or not, insinuating that putting him in contact with anybody who might be worse, or suggesting he might be right about anything, constitues a tacit endorsement of his behavior. Media literacy that rejects nuance is a pretty strange thing to behold.
You missed one of the best ones which is Deadpool 2. they built up X force throughout the lead up to the movie, and then basically killed them all off for a joke. They trashed one of the biggest comic book tropes ever, and it was the best part of the movie.
Also see how in suicide squad 2 they had a whole team Die in the beginning of the movie just to show that they weren't the ones we were following at all and then introducing the other team 😂
Yeah this, and also the fact that shatterstar is literally a character in comic books. He's not very popular but he is enough so that I know that he comes from a literal other planet called...'mojoworld' he has superpowers, I'm pretty sure the main one is to be better at anything than whatever opponent he is facing, so that's hilarious...and he's gay.

I gotta push back hard on your description of easily-shattered glass tables as “unrealistic” there’s more than enough youtube videos out there of large rambunctious housepets and people horsing around instantly turning their heavy glass tabletops into a cloud of tiny razor-sharp glass fragments. It is definitely the resilience of that glass table in Game Night that’s completely unrealistic.
Tempered glass is very hard to break, ala Game night. Conversely, it is easily shattered when hit just right, mainly along the corners and edges. Same goes for glass bottles. Extremely hard to break. Hit someone with a glass bottle on the head, it is not going to break but act like a club and give that person a concussion. We have been conditioned to think that glass is so easy to break because they use sugar to make their glass, and you can go through a glass window, table, hit with a bottle, doors, glass storefronts, and walk away without being torn to shreds with heavy bleeding.
@@Tempestan They can also break by simply having a manufactured flaw. Hold it wrong and it will shatter on you. I know this, because for several years we had to handle them on an assembly line.
I've seen both. Trust me, I've seen plenty of idiot pets and people go directly through them, but I've also seen reasonably large people bounce directly off of them.
Totally agree! Despite me absolutely not liking the Ending and me wishing the Guy getting the Girl at the End, it totally showed the dark Reality with this one. No Matter how hard you fight for or helping that Person you love (Girl or Boy), the Person mostly will ignore you and everything you done for him or her and just going back to the other Person who didn't even care about her/him at all. That's exactly what made the israeli Original "Lemon Popsicle" and this US-Remake so special for the Time and very realistic with exactly that Ending. The Story definetly did a very good Job with the Gutpunching to the Viewer and showing that real Life is not like a Movie with a happy Ending.

That coffee table one has to be a joke in the movie. I broke my mother's coffee table in a fight with my brother when we were in our early teens (thankfully no one was hurt), and it definitely didn't take much to shatter it. Then there's my neighbor, who's wife just leaned on their coffee table when picking up something from the floor, and she went right through it, slicing her back open like a hot knife through butter! She actually needed over a hundred stitches. So I wouldn't recommend trying anything too wild around one. Glass is very, very sharp when it breaks, and coffee tables don't shatter in to little crumbs like car windows do.
Yeah agreed. It's not the durability that's incorrect, but that the table shattered in nice tiny pieces. My parents table has a corner broken off, my friend has one broken off. And I'm starting to believe that I have never seen a glass table that has stayed unbroken ever.
The ending of the movie The Mist. That was just brutal. I remember people posting customized video's with alternative endings on TH-cam because they couldn't cope with the original.
It was a "happy ending" because humanity survives. In the King story the survivors are still searching and the fate of the human race unknown. Stupid movie.
Just pointing out that David Morse is one of the best character actors out there and has been severely underrated his whole career despite it being long and fruitful. First time I remember seeing him was in Six Against the Rock because I wasn't really into St. Elsewhere at that point. He has elevated everything I've seen him in ever since.
One of my favorite performances of his was Down in the Valley. I personally think he stole that movie from Edward Norton. I just wish they didn't have to rush the ending because it really let down what had been a good film up until that point.
In line with The Other Guys, in 21 (22?) Jumpstreet when they have that high speed pursuit on the freeway and keep thinking gas tankers are gonna blow up but nothing happens until it's a chicken truck that turns into a giant fireball. Because glass tables do break but usually when hit on the side rather than on top
Are we not going to talk about the brilliance of *The Fifth Element* ? Not only did the good guy *not* confront the bad guy at the end, they didn't even know of each others existence.
I've *always* taken delight in when actors typecast as villains get to flip the script, and I hadn't seen the David Morse flip in so long I'd forgotten about the film - but it was soooooo good, thanks for the reminder 😆
For me, it's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I never saw the ending coming because of how smart and witty Jack Nicholson's character was in the movie and the fact that he was always one step ahead of the doctors and the staff, it felt so much like he was playing them and that he was in control so the ending was shocking to me.
Scream. They make a point of calling out and joking about cliches like virginity means you are safe only for the girl who just lost her virginity to say not in my movie and kill the Ghostfaces.
I'm not surprised that they didn't get back together in Mrs. Doubtfire. I rewatched it recently and it really hits different as an adult. He's insane and she was right to divorce him. And even when he's grown a little, he still proves he was a terrible husband with the small detail he didn't know when her birthday was, even after a decade or more of marriage.
Ozymandias wasn't gloating. He wanted to be understood, and, more importantly, he was stalling for Dr. Manhattan's return. He didn't complete his plan until he convinced Dr. Manhattan.
The giant squid was stupid and comic booky, and I much preferred the movie ending. After all, what’s scarier than making your own god, and that god judging you wanting.
I think the comic version works well for a work in the 80s about the 80s, where sci-fi horror and fear of the unknown was peak. For whatever faults are baked into Zac Snyder's film, he at least recognized that movie goers wouldn't "get it" to the same extent as comic readers 30 years earlier - plus, I seem to recall they changed the ending because it would be cheaper than creating a giant CGI squid monster.
I think Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 could've been on here because when you have an irredeemably evil villain like the High Evolutionary, you would expect him to die and you would've also expected some if not most of the Guardians to die but everyone lived. Even the one who was at risk of dying the most lived too.
The Fall Guy had a similar "the glass table doesn't break" scene where earlier in the movie they show special champagne bottle made to break, then later in a night club the guy uses two real champagne bottles as an akimbo clubs
One of my favorites is in Terminator 3, when the bombs actually fall for Judgement Day. It's not a great movie, especially compared to the first two, but the end actually being Judgement Day is a nice change.
T3 could've been great if they didn't try so hard to be tongue in cheek (the whole sequence with Arnold getting his clothes was ridiculous and stupid). But focusing on a John Connor who is a broken man and haunted by feelings of dread that it's not over was a great choice.

The whole thing with glass tables is a toss up. Main thing is if a glass table is hit on the side or a corner it is very likely to shatter. But there are also so many cases of if you stand on one let alone get dropped into one, that they will shatter in real life.
Not that I would expect any different from Mel Brooks, but the Battle of Rock Ridge spilling out into the rest of Warner Bro’s. Studio was a twist nobody could’ve seen coming.
There's a movie I have on my list of "movies that destroyed cliches - and then destroyed their destruction of cliches." That's the movie "The Devil's Advocate." If you watch this movie, it actually has a brilliant ending in the movie. But the problem is that the movie continues after this brilliant ending, and then literally completely dismantles the brilliant ending and turns it into a "blaaahhh" ending with the ending that it has in which it takes the previous ending back and makes everything turn out A-Okay.
This is a great list and great video! And I agree, particularly with the movie *Collateral.* Even though I saw it years ago when it first came out and remembered most of the movie, I randomly watched it again a couple weeks ago and was Shocked when Mark Ruffalo's character was shot. It really does defy the trope expectation.
Needed an end credits scene... 3 months later...she calls him and says, "I have a problem...", and virgin's face reflected in the phone screen as he 'blocks the caller'. Mic Drop
@@KeithRadzik-o9x You know, the Israeli movie (of which Last American Virgin is a remake) had sequels... more than I can count. In one of them, the girl does come back, and throws the guy's current relationship into shambles. Yes, she is very much an ambulatory disaster, and no, he did not learn his lesson.
Most of these examples are of movies going out of their way specifically to avoide cliches. Bladerunner 2049 definitely wasn't trying consciously or sub-consciously to avoid sequel cliches, or do some kind of metatextual commentary about them - It was a story about empathy, K learning that who he thought he was was someone else, but that person's life is still meaningful is the heart of the movie.
Black Hawk Down: real hearing damage from gunfights, and a soldier is very deaf, wobbly, and incoherent for a while after being too close to an explosion.
Sergio Corbucci's "The Great Silence" is another example, you think is another western where the young hero gonna defy the odds just because he is a good gunslinger, but in the end is tricked and the villains gun him down.
In fact, a glass table is not that unlikely to break if you hit it hard. I've seen a guy fall backwards from a sofa onto a marble table and split the marble, and I'm pretty sure marble is more stable than glass, after all marble is stone. Whether a glass table will break depends a lot on the type of glass (e.g. is it multilayered? How thick is the glass? Is it special tempered glass? Is it safety glass? Is it glass at all, or just looks like glass?), the shape of the table (a round table is less likely to break than a square table), and how much the glass is reinforced (is it just glass with legs? Does it have a frame? How much of the impact energy is absorbed by the frame?)
9:42 it’s also “if it breaks it causes less damage”. Much like car crumple zones - if there are no car crumple zones the crumple zone is you. If the fake glass doesn’t break what breaks is your cheekbone.
No. 9 Lots of films where the “cavalry”was gunned down. Almost as common as “cavalry” saving the day. No. 3 Had a glass coffee table for 20+ years. It recently shattered after dropping the table by 3cm or so while moving it.
@@ThomasPalm-w5y tropes can be genre dependant. In a horror movie the cavalry get killed is the trope not the exception I think. In a typical action movie though it's normally saving the day.
It's just that glass is somehow unpredictable I mean - it can shatter if you look wrong at it or suprisingly resistant Like trying to break it with bare hands may be harder than it looks.
10:06 I've seen a 2,5cm thick stone table break because someone fell on it, I think many glass tables can easily break. I don't think they would shatter in thousands of little bits like the movies, but breaking can easily happen depending on the thickness.
It´s nowhere near as good as in Watchmen, but is nice that in Age ol Ultron, the Avengers ask Ultron what is he up to, and Ultron answers: "yeah, I´m glad you ask because I was about to reveal my evil plan to you" and proceeds to attack Iron Man.
I’ve never seen the last American Virgin but demo thing extremely similar happened to me. I was getting close to a girl after a guy dumped her. Went to her birthday and surprise they got back together. Fast forward to the future he dumped her again and I moved on
One of my favorite interview quotes ever is somebody telling Harrison Ford during the 2049 promotional tour that Ridley Scott said Deckard is a replicant and he says "I don't give a shit _what_ he says..." The brilliant thing about 2049 is that whether Deckard is human or a replicant, if the result is a pregnant replicant then it is obviously a scientific anomoly, and you can see why the company would have an interest in um... replicating it.
@@futurestoryteller the whole premise is kinda stupid though as the entire reason the gov allows replicants to exist is because they are less of a threat if they cant reproduce, they obey commands, and they are seen as specialized tools and not people. by having replicants reproduce you lose specialization, replicants become a significant threat to replacing humans, and they no longer obey commands because they arent programmed any more so the gov would shut down the wallace corporation.
I love Collateral, but I never once thought that Fanning would be around long and that Max would be on his own against Vincent. It's still brilliant, though...I haven't finished the video yet, and I'm hoping Falling Down makes your list - Michael Douglas' character arc is definitely deserving of it.
The glass table one, it depends on the quality of the glass, the design of the foundation for said glass, and size as well. There are youtube videos showing dog or people break the glass table just being careless, but that because the glass look cheap and there's not enough wood or steel supporting the glass. The one in that movie has good design and supported most of the glass. This is the same as comparing furniture made by skilled carpenter to Ikea's processed wood knock down furniture. This is why Japanese moving companies, the best moving companies in the world still despise Ikea furniture.
Ms Doubtfire was a tough one for me because my parents went through it just before it came out. To this day I still can't watch it without feeling uncomfortable. It's realistic, but there's still pain there.
number 10 has become one of my fave "breaking with tropes" beats, but love how you show the same elder actor in two other movies playing out the same lame trope that 10 avoided... and it was a stroke of genius ending Doubtfire as it did, caused by input from the leads... brilliant...
While movies may pretend that a sneeze will break a glass table, the reality is that it's still pretty easy to break if a human body's worth of weight is applied. The only way the game night table doesn't break is if it's made out of plexi glass.
Shocked the original megamind revealing Hal as the twist villain isn't in this, like its a commentary on self entitled 'nice guys', but normally the down on his luck nerd is the hero. Not in the original megamind... he's the villain
Glass in general is either absurdly resilient or breaks with ease. I've dropped an empty bottle on concrete with no effect. Just yesterday, there was an empty drinking glass on the porch. Barefoot, I kicked it without seeing it and it shattered into a thousand pieces.
I loved that you kept on beans with Harrison Ford being the familial connection in the other movies you've shown. If I remember right, he said the he's only come back if the main character wasn't related to him in an interview (or commentary?) if I recall correctly
I've seen Collateral like 6 times and all of the Avengers movies and it only clicked for me now, while watching this video, that the guy who played the detective in Collateral is the same guy who plays the Hulk 😮
"No Country" is a faithful book adaptation. No point pretending the filmmakers created that ending. Amazing movie, but that ending was straight from the Cormac novel
The part of Mrs Doubtfire that never made sense was why Daniel had a complete inability to be responsible with his kids until he's pretending to be a woman. Then he's a complete disciplinarian with them. If he could and would do that in costume, why not do it in his own persona? Also, he was always doing different voices. Are we seriously supposed to believe that Miranda or their kids wouldn't recognize any of the voices he did?
No, the best moment in The Other Guys, as far as subverted expectation, was the, Cop 1 - "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Cop 2 - "Aim for the bushes?" que majestic music for the slow-motion shot of them jumping from the building top.... Audience - "Wait... what bushes?"
Usual Suspects. It upended expectations so hard that the main actor himself was famously taken by surprise when he watched the final version of the film.
I have seen many girls go back to the wrong guy, the bad boy, the worse/worst option. That ending of _The Last American Virgin_ is very real. It happens all the time. It's very simple, sad, and outrageous: doormats get walked on.
@@PunguinYoga Yeah there's a reason "Toxic" is part of _Intoxicating_ but my replay is that there's a *reason* _Intoxication_ inherently contains *TOXIC!*
Another good subversion of the cliche is the "good" guy realizing he's not as good as he seems or the "bad boy" being a good guy (ex.: Viktom Krum in Harry Potter)
Fight clubs twist is all time. The whole film you think they are a team that created a cult. Then to learn that the narrator has a split personality. It was the first of its kind to do that well. Multiple personality twists all started there. Fight club and primal fear. Which is another great twist ending.
Could have included psycho on this list. Were led to believe that the story is going to be following Marion only to have her murdered in one of the most iconic scenes in movie history.
I can attest: glass tables don't break so easily. I bought a wood coffee table with a glass top in 1996 from a vintage shop. It is from 1968. It has been through a lot since I've had it, including 2 earthquakes and my baby using it as a window display for rocks and shells. It is still in perfect condition.
Attack on Titan's reveal in the episode "Warrior" was really well done too. The huge revelation was so nonchalant and anti climatic that it left you just as confused/in denial as the main character for a little bit.

Also see how in suicide squad 2 they had a whole team Die in the beginning of the movie just to show that they weren't the ones we were following at all and then introducing the other team 😂
@@rustyshackleford6035No! Not Arm Fall Off Boy! He still had so much to live for!
Also having Brad Pitt play the invisible guy was a stroke of genius.
Yeah this, and also the fact that shatterstar is literally a character in comic books. He's not very popular but he is enough so that I know that he comes from a literal other planet called...'mojoworld' he has superpowers, I'm pretty sure the main one is to be better at anything than whatever opponent he is facing, so that's hilarious...and he's gay.
The reason I bring this up is because I literally thought that in the Deadpool movie he was simply a joke character that they made up. But no, he's a legitimate comic book character. Lol

And he made them think that there was still time for the heroes to do something...
@@ingiford175 and he even mocked the whole trope of a villain explaining their plan before it's finished.
The stupid part is the heroes went along with it. So the villain didn’t win with intelligence, he won with luck. His logic is heavily flawed and clearly made up and they just went with it. Compare that to Thanos’ plan which is much bigger, yet makes perfect sense.

I gotta push back hard on your description of easily-shattered glass tables as “unrealistic” there’s more than enough youtube videos out there of large rambunctious housepets and people horsing around instantly turning their heavy glass tabletops into a cloud of tiny razor-sharp glass fragments. It is definitely the resilience of that glass table in Game Night that’s completely unrealistic.
Tempered glass is very hard to break, ala Game night. Conversely, it is easily shattered when hit just right, mainly along the corners and edges. Same goes for glass bottles. Extremely hard to break. Hit someone with a glass bottle on the head, it is not going to break but act like a club and give that person a concussion. We have been conditioned to think that glass is so easy to break because they use sugar to make their glass, and you can go through a glass window, table, hit with a bottle, doors, glass storefronts, and walk away without being torn to shreds with heavy bleeding.
@@Tempestan They can also break by simply having a manufactured flaw. Hold it wrong and it will shatter on you. I know this, because for several years we had to handle them on an assembly line.
I've seen both. Trust me, I've seen plenty of idiot pets and people go directly through them, but I've also seen reasonably large people bounce directly off of them.
A friend once split his glass table in half by just leaning on it.
@Entername-gr8fs it's sort of a matter of the type of glass and how it's impacted.
Last American Virgin ending is so spot on and such a gut punch.
The story as described is literally 1 to 1 the same as in Lemon Popsicle from 1978
bittersweet ending...he dodged a bullet with that girl...she gets what she deserves
@@baranzenovich "A remake of Davidson's 1978 Israeli film Lemon Popsicle"
Totally agree! Despite me absolutely not liking the Ending and me wishing the Guy getting the Girl at the End, it totally showed the dark Reality with this one. No Matter how hard you fight for or helping that Person you love (Girl or Boy), the Person mostly will ignore you and everything you done for him or her and just going back to the other Person who didn't even care about her/him at all. That's exactly what made the israeli Original "Lemon Popsicle" and this US-Remake so special for the Time and very realistic with exactly that Ending. The Story definetly did a very good Job with the Gutpunching to the Viewer and showing that real Life is not like a Movie with a happy Ending.
i don't watch comedies to get suckerpunched at the end
At least Wolverine walking away from an explosion makes sense.
It doesn't make that much sense.
@@futurestoryteller Sure it does. His regen and toughness keep him from being effected. And his adamantium bones keep him from being knocked off his feet as easily.
@@gonzotown9438 He admits all the time that it hurts when his claws come through his skin, an explosion is a whole different ball game. Props for managing to exploit the adamantium skeleton to support _part_ of your argument though, that's quite novel
@@futurestoryteller Sure it hurts, but also he's used to the pain. His pain tolerance is super human. His eardrums might rupture, but that's probably like the 100th time his eardrums have ruptured.
Logan was at ground zero when America dropped the sun on Japan, why wouldn't he be able to walk away from an exploding helo?
That coffee table one has to be a joke in the movie. I broke my mother's coffee table in a fight with my brother when we were in our early teens (thankfully no one was hurt), and it definitely didn't take much to shatter it. Then there's my neighbor, who's wife just leaned on their coffee table when picking up something from the floor, and she went right through it, slicing her back open like a hot knife through butter! She actually needed over a hundred stitches. So I wouldn't recommend trying anything too wild around one. Glass is very, very sharp when it breaks, and coffee tables don't shatter in to little crumbs like car windows do.
Yeah agreed. It's not the durability that's incorrect, but that the table shattered in nice tiny pieces. My parents table has a corner broken off, my friend has one broken off. And I'm starting to believe that I have never seen a glass table that has stayed unbroken ever.
I've been plenty of glass tables shatter into tiny pieces.
The ending of the movie The Mist. That was just brutal. I remember people posting customized video's with alternative endings on TH-cam because they couldn't cope with the original.
It was a "happy ending" because humanity survives. In the King story the survivors are still searching and the fate of the human race unknown. Stupid movie.
@@geraldmartin7703You call that a happy ending because humanity survives? That is one of the darkest endings in the history of cinema.
Just pointing out that David Morse is one of the best character actors out there and has been severely underrated his whole career despite it being long and fruitful. First time I remember seeing him was in Six Against the Rock because I wasn't really into St. Elsewhere at that point. He has elevated everything I've seen him in ever since.
Agreed.
And 12 Monkeys! Creepy guy.
And a fine turn as George Washington in _John Adams..._
One of my favorite performances of his was Down in the Valley. I personally think he stole that movie from Edward Norton. I just wish they didn't have to rush the ending because it really let down what had been a good film up until that point.
Blue Ruin is such an underdog of a revenge film!! One of my stand out surprises - such a raw and real take on a lay person trying to take on power!
In line with The Other Guys, in 21 (22?) Jumpstreet when they have that high speed pursuit on the freeway and keep thinking gas tankers are gonna blow up but nothing happens until it's a chicken truck that turns into a giant fireball.
Because glass tables do break but usually when hit on the side rather than on top
Are we not going to talk about the brilliance of *The Fifth Element* ? Not only did the good guy *not* confront the bad guy at the end, they didn't even know of each others existence.
I've *always* taken delight in when actors typecast as villains get to flip the script, and I hadn't seen the David Morse flip in so long I'd forgotten about the film - but it was soooooo good, thanks for the reminder 😆
For me, it's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
I never saw the ending coming because of how smart and witty Jack Nicholson's character was in the movie and the fact that he was always one step ahead of the doctors and the staff, it felt so much like he was playing them and that he was in control so the ending was shocking to me.
9:50 Upgrade is extremely underrated!
Scream. They make a point of calling out and joking about cliches like virginity means you are safe only for the girl who just lost her virginity to say not in my movie and kill the Ghostfaces.
The Hurt Locker was the best example of explosions hurt a lot.

@@TalkingHands308Too bad nobody cares
I remember my brother saying "Proof of Life" was the first movie he saw where a concussive blast from an explosion caused someone's ears to bleed.
@@futurestoryteller I will check it out. Thanks for the heads up.
@@TalkingHands308 how so? I’m not military. So I’m curious how they did wrong. Seriously.
I'm not surprised that they didn't get back together in Mrs. Doubtfire. I rewatched it recently and it really hits different as an adult. He's insane and she was right to divorce him. And even when he's grown a little, he still proves he was a terrible husband with the small detail he didn't know when her birthday was, even after a decade or more of marriage.
Ozymandias wasn't gloating. He wanted to be understood, and, more importantly, he was stalling for Dr. Manhattan's return. He didn't complete his plan until he convinced Dr. Manhattan.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Misourey should have been this list.
Thank you SO MUCH for mentioning Blue Ruin. That is a phenomenal movie!
I was pretty much a dark satire on revenge movies.
The giant squid was stupid and comic booky, and I much preferred the movie ending. After all, what’s scarier than making your own god, and that god judging you wanting.
It was also a used in The Outer Limits, so ending had to change.
Preferred the movie ending as well.
I liked the movie ending more - but the HBO show was amazing, and it was heavily reliant on the ending the comics went with.
I think the comic version works well for a work in the 80s about the 80s, where sci-fi horror and fear of the unknown was peak. For whatever faults are baked into Zac Snyder's film, he at least recognized that movie goers wouldn't "get it" to the same extent as comic readers 30 years earlier - plus, I seem to recall they changed the ending because it would be cheaper than creating a giant CGI squid monster.
I think Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 could've been on here because when you have an irredeemably evil villain like the High Evolutionary, you would expect him to die and you would've also expected some if not most of the Guardians to die but everyone lived. Even the one who was at risk of dying the most lived too.
The Fall Guy had a similar "the glass table doesn't break" scene where earlier in the movie they show special champagne bottle made to break, then later in a night club the guy uses two real champagne bottles as an akimbo clubs
Also, The 5th Element where the main human antagonist and the protagonist never even meet.
One of my favorites is in Terminator 3, when the bombs actually fall for Judgement Day. It's not a great movie, especially compared to the first two, but the end actually being Judgement Day is a nice change.
think problems fans have is T3 essentially made the characters efforts in T2 meaningless.
@@camgold2154 Yup and then they took those criticism to heart... and leaned hard into making T2 meaningless. I think they learned the wrong lesson!
T3 could've been great if they didn't try so hard to be tongue in cheek (the whole sequence with Arnold getting his clothes was ridiculous and stupid). But focusing on a John Connor who is a broken man and haunted by feelings of dread that it's not over was a great choice.
@@camgold2154 the thing is John was always meant to defeat skynet in the future war, thats what sarah, kyle and t2 t-800 were protecting, not preventing Judgment Day.
Surprised not to see Steven Seagal's early death in Executive Decision on here
The unrealistic part there is watching anyone who's worked with Steven Seagal not being happy to see him get what's coming to him.
sam L jackson in deep blue sea was a way better one cause it was even during his heroic hype speech
his best ever role
He got it because he was such an a**hole on set his role was rewritten during filming. At least that's what I read... .
@@geraldmartin7703I thought it was at his request because he wasn't the "lead", he didn't hardly want to be in the movie. Either sounds plausible for the egotistical sphincter that is Steven Seagal.
The whole thing with glass tables is a toss up. Main thing is if a glass table is hit on the side or a corner it is very likely to shatter. But there are also so many cases of if you stand on one let alone get dropped into one, that they will shatter in real life.
Not that I would expect any different from Mel Brooks, but the Battle of Rock Ridge spilling out into the rest of Warner Bro’s. Studio was a twist nobody could’ve seen coming.
There's a movie I have on my list of "movies that destroyed cliches - and then destroyed their destruction of cliches."
That's the movie "The Devil's Advocate." If you watch this movie, it actually has a brilliant ending in the movie. But the problem is that the movie continues after this brilliant ending, and then literally completely dismantles the brilliant ending and turns it into a "blaaahhh" ending with the ending that it has in which it takes the previous ending back and makes everything turn out A-Okay.
I don't remember the brilliant ending you are referring to. But I do remember the "blaaahhh" ending and thinking it undermined the entire movie.
Anyone opposite Kevin Spacey looks like a good guy now
I just cracked up when you said victim of drive by fruitings... 😂
This is a great list and great video! And I agree, particularly with the movie *Collateral.* Even though I saw it years ago when it first came out and remembered most of the movie, I randomly watched it again a couple weeks ago and was Shocked when Mark Ruffalo's character was shot. It really does defy the trope expectation.
Mrs Doubtfire is one of those movies that is fun. If you don't actually pay attention to what's going on
yea i watched it as a kid, thought it was hilarious. Rewatched as an adult and it hit real different
The Last American Virgin's ending in my opinion should've done the cliche ending, because ironically the twist ending made it a forgotten teen comedy
Or do a "Some kind of wonderful" ending.
Needed an end credits scene... 3 months later...she calls him and says, "I have a problem...", and virgin's face reflected in the phone screen as he 'blocks the caller'. Mic Drop
@@KeithRadzik-o9x No mobile phones in the 80s or blocking numbers. But just hanging up would have been good.
@@KeithRadzik-o9x You know, the Israeli movie (of which Last American Virgin is a remake) had sequels... more than I can count. In one of them, the girl does come back, and throws the guy's current relationship into shambles. Yes, she is very much an ambulatory disaster, and no, he did not learn his lesson.
It's a true story and happened to the author.
Most of these examples are of movies going out of their way specifically to avoide cliches.
Bladerunner 2049 definitely wasn't trying consciously or sub-consciously to avoid sequel cliches, or do some kind of metatextual commentary about them - It was a story about empathy, K learning that who he thought he was was someone else, but that person's life is still meaningful is the heart of the movie.
The Last American Virgin was my first glimpse about being heart broken.
It was a very accurate depiction of being a simp for a woman thinking it will get you her in the end.
@@qdllcAgreed. As a teen, I was outraged. As I grew up, I came to realize the ending was typical behavior.
It's a true story and happened to the author.
The ending monologue of Mrs. Doubtfire was the best moment of the movie.
Black Hawk Down: real hearing damage from gunfights, and a soldier is very deaf, wobbly, and incoherent for a while after being too close to an explosion.
That shattering table siund effect was spot on, Ewan.
Sergio Corbucci's "The Great Silence" is another example, you think is another western where the young hero gonna defy the odds just because he is a good gunslinger, but in the end is tricked and the villains gun him down.
Blue Ruin is one of the most surprisingly brilliant movies I seen over the last few years. Great film!
In fact, a glass table is not that unlikely to break if you hit it hard. I've seen a guy fall backwards from a sofa onto a marble table and split the marble, and I'm pretty sure marble is more stable than glass, after all marble is stone. Whether a glass table will break depends a lot on the type of glass (e.g. is it multilayered? How thick is the glass? Is it special tempered glass? Is it safety glass? Is it glass at all, or just looks like glass?), the shape of the table (a round table is less likely to break than a square table), and how much the glass is reinforced (is it just glass with legs? Does it have a frame? How much of the impact energy is absorbed by the frame?)
Very clever conclusion of the video. Well done 😂
5 of these movies are in my top25 all time. I absolutely love having my expectations subverted
9:42 it’s also “if it breaks it causes less damage”. Much like car crumple zones - if there are no car crumple zones the crumple zone is you. If the fake glass doesn’t break what breaks is your cheekbone.
No. 9 Lots of films where the “cavalry”was gunned down. Almost as common as “cavalry” saving the day.
No. 3 Had a glass coffee table for 20+ years. It recently shattered after dropping the table by 3cm or so while moving it.
The Shining is a good example.
“Daily Dose of Internet” channel just released a video. Glass in all forms not faring well.
@@ThomasPalm-w5y tropes can be genre dependant. In a horror movie the cavalry get killed is the trope not the exception I think. In a typical action movie though it's normally saving the day.
I can think of Under Siege where the Navy Seals are dispatched before doing anything by an anti-aircraft missile IIRC.
It's just that glass is somehow unpredictable
I mean - it can shatter if you look wrong at it or suprisingly resistant
Like trying to break it with bare hands may be harder than it looks.
David Morse is such an underappreciated genius.
10:06
I've seen a 2,5cm thick stone table break because someone fell on it, I think many glass tables can easily break.
I don't think they would shatter in thousands of little bits like the movies, but breaking can easily happen depending on the thickness.
Best Friend's Wedding - girl doesn't get guy

It´s nowhere near as good as in Watchmen, but is nice that in Age ol Ultron, the Avengers ask Ultron what is he up to, and Ultron answers: "yeah, I´m glad you ask because I was about to reveal my evil plan to you" and proceeds to attack Iron Man.
I’ve never seen the last American Virgin but demo thing extremely similar happened to me. I was getting close to a girl after a guy dumped her. Went to her birthday and surprise they got back together. Fast forward to the future he dumped her again and I moved on
It's a true story and happened to the author.
I found it amusing that the two other examples you used were also Harrison Ford movies.
Did you say the child of Deckard and Rachael is a human-replicant hybrid?! Thems are fighting words…
One of my favorite interview quotes ever is somebody telling Harrison Ford during the 2049 promotional tour that Ridley Scott said Deckard is a replicant and he says "I don't give a shit _what_ he says..."
The brilliant thing about 2049 is that whether Deckard is human or a replicant, if the result is a pregnant replicant then it is obviously a scientific anomoly, and you can see why the company would have an interest in um... replicating it.
@@futurestoryteller the whole premise is kinda stupid though as the entire reason the gov allows replicants to exist is because they are less of a threat if they cant reproduce, they obey commands, and they are seen as specialized tools and not people. by having replicants reproduce you lose specialization, replicants become a significant threat to replacing humans, and they no longer obey commands because they arent programmed any more so the gov would shut down the wallace corporation.
"Personally, I preferred the squid" - liked and subscribed instantly.
I would say Riders of Justice also does a great job in the revenge trope, loved that movie
I love Collateral, but I never once thought that Fanning would be around long and that Max would be on his own against Vincent. It's still brilliant, though...I haven't finished the video yet, and I'm hoping Falling Down makes your list - Michael Douglas' character arc is definitely deserving of it.
I've seen someone fall fairly slowly onto a glass coffee table and completely shatter it.
The glass table one, it depends on the quality of the glass, the design of the foundation for said glass, and size as well. There are youtube videos showing dog or people break the glass table just being careless, but that because the glass look cheap and there's not enough wood or steel supporting the glass. The one in that movie has good design and supported most of the glass. This is the same as comparing furniture made by skilled carpenter to Ikea's processed wood knock down furniture. This is why Japanese moving companies, the best moving companies in the world still despise Ikea furniture.
Ms Doubtfire was a tough one for me because my parents went through it just before it came out. To this day I still can't watch it without feeling uncomfortable. It's realistic, but there's still pain there.
Sorry to hear that. But just know the movie does a good job at showing that BOTH parents still very much loved the kids.
Shutter island? Instead of moving on he just chooses not to.
number 10 has become one of my fave "breaking with tropes" beats, but love how you show the same elder actor in two other movies playing out the same lame trope that 10 avoided... and it was a stroke of genius ending Doubtfire as it did, caused by input from the leads... brilliant...
While movies may pretend that a sneeze will break a glass table, the reality is that it's still pretty easy to break if a human body's worth of weight is applied. The only way the game night table doesn't break is if it's made out of plexi glass.
Shocked the original megamind revealing Hal as the twist villain isn't in this, like its a commentary on self entitled 'nice guys', but normally the down on his luck nerd is the hero.
Not in the original megamind... he's the villain
Great analysis - loved it.
Listen, the 2nd and 1st place occurrences really blew me away when I saw them for the 1st time! Great movies 😺
I can personally vouch for how easily glass tables break.
Glass in general is either absurdly resilient or breaks with ease. I've dropped an empty bottle on concrete with no effect. Just yesterday, there was an empty drinking glass on the porch. Barefoot, I kicked it without seeing it and it shattered into a thousand pieces.
I loved that you kept on beans with Harrison Ford being the familial connection in the other movies you've shown. If I remember right, he said the he's only come back if the main character wasn't related to him in an interview (or commentary?) if I recall correctly
Negotiator AND 16 Blocks mentioned in the same vid?
Yes please!
The “35 minutes ago” thing reminds me of the movie Ex Machina!😂
I've seen Collateral like 6 times and all of the Avengers movies and it only clicked for me now, while watching this video, that the guy who played the detective in Collateral is the same guy who plays the Hulk 😮
"No Country" is a faithful book adaptation. No point pretending the filmmakers created that ending. Amazing movie, but that ending was straight from the Cormac novel
The part of Mrs Doubtfire that never made sense was why Daniel had a complete inability to be responsible with his kids until he's pretending to be a woman. Then he's a complete disciplinarian with them. If he could and would do that in costume, why not do it in his own persona? Also, he was always doing different voices. Are we seriously supposed to believe that Miranda or their kids wouldn't recognize any of the voices he did?
No, the best moment in The Other Guys, as far as subverted expectation, was the,
Cop 1 - "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Cop 2 - "Aim for the bushes?"
que majestic music for the slow-motion shot of them jumping from the building top....
Audience - "Wait... what bushes?"
Usual Suspects. It upended expectations so hard that the main actor himself was famously taken by surprise when he watched the final version of the film.
I can't believe Kingsman: The Secret Service is not mentioned in the video. "Well, this ain't that kind of movie" is my all-time favorite twist.
I have seen many girls go back to the wrong guy, the bad boy, the worse/worst option. That ending of _The Last American Virgin_ is very real. It happens all the time. It's very simple, sad, and outrageous: doormats get walked on.
People can become addicted to toxic relationships. I have seen several women return to men who treat them horribly.
@@PunguinYoga Yeah there's a reason "Toxic" is part of _Intoxicating_ but my replay is that there's a *reason* _Intoxication_ inherently contains *TOXIC!*
@@tranz2deep Great point.
It's a true story and happened to the author.
Another good subversion of the cliche is the "good" guy realizing he's not as good as he seems or the "bad boy" being a good guy (ex.: Viktom Krum in Harry Potter)
Fight clubs twist is all time. The whole film you think they are a team that created a cult. Then to learn that the narrator has a split personality. It was the first of its kind to do that well. Multiple personality twists all started there. Fight club and primal fear. Which is another great twist ending.
There's a film called 'Identity' which might be worth a watch
@@richardhockey8442 yeah Ive seen that one too really good.

Anyone who says glass tables don't break never had a sleepover as a child

Could have included psycho on this list. Were led to believe that the story is going to be following Marion only to have her murdered in one of the most iconic scenes in movie history.
Glass tables shatter all the time. Ours exploded when wind blew the umbrella pole against the hole slightly too hard
Maybe glass tables have improved since the late 1970s. My mother dropped me on one as a baby and it shattered and I still have a scar.
I can attest: glass tables don't break so easily. I bought a wood coffee table with a glass top in 1996 from a vintage shop. It is from 1968. It has been through a lot since I've had it, including 2 earthquakes and my baby using it as a window display for rocks and shells. It is still in perfect condition.
Attack on Titan's reveal in the episode "Warrior" was really well done too. The huge revelation was so nonchalant and anti climatic that it left you just as confused/in denial as the main character for a little bit.
The huge twist at the end of Frailty is spectacular. Recommended.
