Thank you. Somebody FINALLY addressed #1. I had to study it for a class at University. I was always told, pick the hardest subject to write an essay on, if you want to get A's. I forced myself to watch it, twice, in a row. The one detail earned me an A in the class. Or, maybe the TA was afraid of someone that would watch that movie twice in a row, and be calm enough to write a film analysis of it. I still tell people to NEVER watch it. Not because it is bad.... but it will make them physically nauseous.
I have a theory the "French Extremity" horror subgenre kicked off at the turn of the century because they wanted to punish the world for all those WWII-surrender jokes over the decades. Lol
Of course, Scream (original) also did the 'let's off the best-known actress in the film in the first sequence' schtick, too. Barrymore was largely expected to be the main character, thanks to the trailers, and having her get offed so quickly took everyone off-guard at the time.
Anyone who likes ridiculous twists should check out the 2006 movie, Running Scared. It has this gimmick where every scene has a major twist to the plot. It gave the movie this weird Choose Your Own Adventure vibe.
One of the funniest early plot twists, to me, was from John Dies at the End. He actually dies very early in the movie and the whole plot happens because of his death. And, to make it funnier, by the end of the movie , John is actually back to life.
If you ever do a sequel to this video, I would definitely include classic '90s farr like From Dusk till Dawn and Wild Things, both of which start completely different than they finish and handle both the pre-twist and post- twist elements excellently. For a more recent film, the excellent and often overlooked Don't Worry, Darling puts its twist right at the beginning and then has several more throughout. Once Florence Pugh's character notices something wrong when she's making breakfast, the savvy viewer understands that she's in a completely different movie than she thought she was.
A lovely example of this kind of film is a little remembered gem from 1979 called _The Silent Partner_ It stars Elliot Gould, Christopher Plummer, and Suzanna York, and is about a bank teller who realizes a guy is about to rob his bank and rigs it so he gets most of the money. THAT is not the plot twist. When the bank robber figures out what happened, he's ... rather ticked off. THAT is when the plot twist happens. It looks like a pretty standard clash of wills between an unassuming nebbish and a hard case for almost exactly 45m and then our of nowhere takes a sudden left turn into unexpected territory. Watching it, you will literally go, "WHOA!!" when it happens. *It's a pre-80s movie, so pacing is slow by modern standards, but it really really IS good. One of those movies you should learn to deal with the slower pacing of older movies for, because it's well worth it.*
Sorry, Mission Impossible is a total abortion. The plot "twist" that Phelps has become "the bad guy" is so depraved wrong that it utterly ruins the movie. **Phelps is **_THE_** essential "good black ops" guy.** He's never ever going to go bad, he's spent his entire life saving people and Doing The Right Thing. *That is **_The Point_** of his entire character.* About the only "plot twist" that would be just as insanely bad is to have a serious Supergirl movie where she's trying to hunt down a serial rapist.... only to find out that the rapist is actually her cousin, Kal-El. FOAD, you incompetent bastards! 🤨
Thank you for adding in the caveat about how unlikely it is to catch HIV. Far too much stigma and ignorance out there about the disease so glad people are adding the context needed.
I thought the cannibalism pert was obvious in trailers for Fresh but I the he's was the cannibal did expect his to be selling body parts interesting twist but still have no interest in watching it
The twist at the Start of Mission:Impossible is just Tom Cruise wanted all the limelight, and saying that this is not going to be about a team of people, just ME ME ME ME!!!
There are a few random scenes that left quite deep, dark impressions on my young brain. Mission: Impossible, Emilio Estevez hacking from the top of the elevator. Those spikes lowering and the zoom in on his eyes…. That stayed in my brain for decades (And I’m a huuuuge horror/gore fiend now. But seeing it on the big screen, that scene straight fucked me up)
I hated MI:1. The opening twist where they kill the team was awful. Jim Phelps was the tv hero for years. I watched that as a kid. So him being the bad guy felt like a cheap betrayal. But, that’s just an opinion.
The 1st so-called "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" movie was an outright INSULT to the series, its characters, and its FANS! Writer & reviewer Peter David at the time said it was the equivalent of Captain Kirk murdering the bridge crew of The Enterprise FOR MONEY. He was right. The REAL Jim Phelps, if he wanted to, could plan and pull off a heist, GET AWAY WITH IT, NEVER be found out, and all without murdering HIS FRIENDS. I consider the movie (and its sequels) "non-canon", and have avoided seeing them ever since.
I can understand not wanting to watch the 1st movie but the sequels pretty much have nothing to do with it. It's just a different group within the same organization.
You must be like 70 years old. I'm sorry your old show was "insulted." Just consider the film series a different adaptation of the same source material, like those countless Dracula movies.
I don't see anything "controversial" about The Hunt. Unless, of course, one is fanatically devoted to one of the social/political extremes (left or right), because the movie makes both sides look like the idiotic zealots they actually are. This movie is a love-letter to all of us caught in the middle (much like the protagonist) of this pointless culture-war that are just trying to survive.
There's only one real "Fresh" movie, and it isn't the one from this video. It's the one about a young black kid growing up in the hood and outwiting drug dealers.
There's nothing wrong with pronouncing it the way she pronounced it. It's a regional thing like including the letter 'u' in the word favor/favour, honor/honour, etc.

The Hunt was so good, thanks to the incredible Betty Gilpin
Agreed. I thought they went a little overboard with the clunky Animal Farm references but that's a minor flaw.
Completely agree x she and Hilary Swank made that movie as great as it was x
I'm a sucker for people hunted movies, but this one is just one of the more memorable movies I've seen in years.

Goddamn. I saw Mission Impossible when I was like, eleven, and I was fucking terrified of elevators for a *while* because of it.

Was that the weird alían movie? Also had alternate dimensions or something? Real acid trip of a movie.
Deadpool 2. Vanessa does right off? I was SHOOK
You mean: she got fridged.
Same here! I remember being so surprised and upset when I watched that part for the first time!!
She gets better at the end though
I like the theory that she is Death herself.
@@TheoryOfMan you owe Gail Simone $10 for that reference.
Don't forget the big surprise twist at the begining of the rebooted "Suicide Squad."

Mission immm possible.
Executive Decision; one of the co-stars is killed in the first scene.
One of the co-stars? Steven Segal was easily the biggest star in that film.
Saw X was a great time🔥🔥🔥

The Suicide Squad. Here's a super team full of personalities, celebrities, and interesting powers. Whoops, they're all dead now, here's another one.

Greatest twist at the beginning? Obviously, Hitchcock’s Psycho.
More like "middle" than beginning.
The Fact and Furious was dope everything after that sucked
It's "Saw X as in Saw 10".
the twist for saw x was spoiled in the trailers lol. i immediately knew it would be a scam going into it
Same, I knew going into it, too.
The Suicide Squad, no mention here?
Fresh was a scary and interesting movie
How could they not have Pulp Fiction on here?
What about When A Stranger Calls?
After the Phelps reveal, I refused to watch a mission impossible right up until Fallout
The way you say “coo” is awesome
Amazing video what culture.
Sorex sounds weird.

Irreversible No.1? Noe needed the effect of reversing the movie in order to hide how utterly trite it is.
It's a pizza cutter movie: All edge, no point.
The Lodge deserves more recognition.
How did Christoper Nolan's 2000 classic Memento not get a mention here?
From Russia with Love
What controversy did The Hunt have?
Gemma looks and sounds like a (pardon me) true gem.
Give her the love she deserves.

Plot twist: strong take is watered down in the end with "but that's just an opinion".
The camera work at the beginning of Irreversible made me physically sick. Total vertigo feelings.
I detested Mission: Impossible with every fiber of my being. It was a total betrayal of the fans of the TV series.
Well, most of them aren't the movie going public anymore, so it was perhaps wise of the studio to go in a different direction.
Mission. Impossible. LOL
Sawr Ehx… Y’arr.
Disorienting
Only two were acceptable .. .
