How hot was Charlize though. I can almost forgive her for adopting.
This was such a weird fricking example
Odd movie man
Its the perfect example
Yeah it's like they couldn't figure out where to take the plot after some point. I don't know if this movie had any rewritten, but it seems like it had a lot.
The second half of the movie was LITERALLY a different movie they merged in with the first part, that's why it doesn't make any sense.
Full Metal Jacket
Bravo Vince was a literal capeshit writer before Breaking Bad.
Before will smith, the original script was called "tonight he comes" and it was a deconstruction of the "man of steel, woman of tissue" argument. Should have been a much seedier, smaller movie, like super. i think you can read it online somewhere
>he cums and kills her
wow so deep
From Dusk till Dawn
Great movie and example.
I'll never forget the dumbass Walmart cashier that spoiled that movie as she was scanning the DVD for a customer.
>Scans DVD and notices what movie it is
>Looks at customer and says "I liked this. Especially when she gets superpowers just like him.
Sounds hot. What were here measurements?
The first time I saw Planet of the Apes my mom walked in just as it was starting and said, "Have they figured out they're on Earth yet?"
This happened to me when I watched Desperado for the first time. Mom casually walked on me and spoiled about the main villain relation to the hero in a question.
Based women spoiling movies for manchildren. If you care about being spoiled you fricking deserve to get spoiled. What a dumb thing to get upset about.
Heston on the beach ranting at the statue of liberty was such an iconic scene though, riffed in fricking everything. Maybe im just old but I thought everybody knew this. Weve almost come full circle to people getting mad at you for spoiling the Vader reveal, or at least we would if zooms gave a shit about old movies.
Kinda like Samara/Sadako coming out of tv at the end of Ring. Nowadays it's such a classic scene that has been spoofed and parodied so many times that you can't not know about it. But back then it should have been a really unexpected twist. I know I felt shame that I didn't get to experience that movie back when it was new. It would be such a shock, but as it was I expected and waited for that scene the whole movie
How the frick did you avoid that spoiler until then? It's fricking referenced everywhere. You might as well try to watch star wars without knowing that Vader is Luke's father.
I got spoiled the famous scene with Reiner in attack on titan some years ago when the anime was releasing.
I was so disgusted, always made sure to avoid social media in order to not get spoiled about it what had me is some video screen from youtube as I loved listening to the anime soundtrack, I immediatly infered what was going to happen.
Frick, Youtube. Anyway still enjoyed the scene.
>butthurt about spoilers
>butthurt about snk spoilers
reddit is that way
literally 2 different movies smoothed together
> And that’s a good thing
Apocalypse Now
From Dusk Till Dawn
Citizen Kane
28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later
Honourable:
Kill Bill Vol 2
Two Towers
how is kill bill vol 2 different from vol 1?
NTA
I can't remember, but I remember liking one and hating the other.
have you seen them?
granted its been a while but volume 1 is like 90% action
volume 2 is a bunch of philosophical dialogue and character building and like 20% action. I like em both but most hate 2 because 1 blew its action load
Yeah, watched them for the first time recently. The only thing that bothered me about Vol 2 was how suddenly they don't beep Bride's name.
Which one had animated sequences? Both? It has been ages since I've seen one of these movies.
Vol 1 and there is only one animated sequence but it's kino
Crap list with the exception of dusk till dawn.
I don’t think you get the theme being discussed.
I consider Stripes to be the comedy version of this. It's Bill Murray and Harold Ramis being frickups in boot camp, then there is another hour and a half dedicated to them fighting commies in europe.
Bee Movie?
I won the thread.
Kneel before me.
Haven't watched it. What is it about?
Ryan Gosling sperging out because he can't put together an Ikea bed.
The Goose is a motorcycle stuntman who got Eva Mendes preggo, then he starts to rob banks only to be killed by a cop (Bradley Copper). End of the first half.
Second half of the movie is Gosling's son (Dane DeHaan) in high school and he meets Copper's son. Gosling's son doesn't know what his dad did, who he was or who killed him.
It’s falls off hard in the second act after the comfy goose half.
nta, but it felt like two different movies being meshed together.
Slightly but not really. It’s a drama from start to finish.
that's the point
it's a film about fate and consequences. also there's 3 sections not 2
read the Theban plays by Sophocles
Becoming your father whether you like it or not or even if you avoid it at all costs.
Yeah. Good call.
Frickin hate that wigger kid.

TRON legacy
Doesn't it unironically have an anti-race mixing message? I remember Charlize's character saying something about how when they are together it always ends poorly
Despite the cuckery and homosexualry, (ironic post slap), I always had a soft spot for this film, and liked the twist in particular. Underlying concept for superhero power origin was cool.
No, more an anti-discrimination message that's tragic and you actually do feel the way she tells it. They're an ancient couple destined to be together and just want to live their lives, but he got the shit kicked out of him for being in the wrong CURRENT YEAR and being a nigra with a white wimmen.
I actually use it as an example against anti-white shitlib homosexuals who would be ironically causing problems for an interracial couple in the actual CURRENT YEAR by beating up the white one in the streets instead given half a chance.
Best example, real WTF moment that where everything went better than expected.
>I own the libs by saying they'd be bad for mixed race couples
Kek. This is why Conservatives are worthless controlled opposition
This is also true for Hitch I believe, the first part is this funny comedy about a pickup artist and then it becomes a romantic movie
I like editing hitch and hanwiener together
>___Hanch
The Empty Man
Oh man, the beginning was really good, but then it turned into some lame as pseudo-Slenderman movie.

From Dusk Til Dawn goes to shit the moment that Tarintino dies.
only good examples
Sunshine was a consistent movie that devolved into unseemly melodrama in the last act
that one movie where they did it on purpose
>Kid walks in looking traumatised
>pause
>I'M ACTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING in the background
my first thought as well. they pull of the bait and switch well enough.
Great flick, caught me off guard. Didn't love the ending but the first half was fun.
Can one of you anons QRD me on this, the IMDB trailer doesn't really give me anything to work with as an example of what type of movies it is.
Without spoiling it please
>crtl+f
>Sunshine
>0 results
you fricking homie what, that movie is the prime example of this shit.
That's consistent until the final act.
>Nobody has said Super 8 yet
Super 8
I haven't seen in it in a decade. Remind me of how the premise shifts halfway.
#MeToo I don't remember anything like that
>comfy nostalgia
>ALIENZ!
Oh, sorry I was thinking of 8mm for some reason which was just standard noir type shit with nasty subject matter.
Event Horizon
Went to see that expecting a sci-fi space movie and aliens at best and was totally blindsided.
literally laid out in the first scene
not a disjointed movie, just a weird twist
correct. just checked my library. the whole witchcraft/seance stuff literally only shows up at the half way mark
yes
>literally laid out in the first scene
Comes pretty early in that film as I recall, but not the place you'd expect to run into that kind of problem. I mean you're kinda switching genres out of sci-fi.
Just like the twist in the game 'Mother Load' where you're just mining minerals and shit goes full metal at the end. Not that it wasn't obviously hinted and foreshadowed, but I wasn't really thinking about it when I was actually playing it, so got a kick out of the 'twist':

>warning addictive time sink
Honestly, it was so overused 90s trope so I didn't find it interesting when I first watched it. So many movies from that era had so good premise but always ended up with "a team member went insane and killing us"
>2/3 of the movie
>wtf is this shit
>final act
oh frick yeah! MORE
The Great Escape feel very different once they finally make their escape, and you realize you're only halfway through the movie.
So far dusk til dawn is the only good example of the halfway switch. Majority listed don’t switch at all.
The absolute best example of this for me is Psycho. You are so caught up with Marion's perspective and her crime and escape, and then the movie switches into a completely different gear. I was spoiled on the plot, and it still hit me good.
I agree, people think that a mere protagonist shift qualifies.
I would agree with psycho being a good example.
that's a good example
I was thinking of how to shoehorn hot fuzz but it's more of an example of a slow start, not a clean break
This is definitely a story of old mates going home to tend to unfinished business and it completely changes after the bathroom fight
Yeah, I was thinking of the other too, but they're not really a big genre switch, which this is from comedy/drama to sci-fi shit.
You could try to make it work with the others, and thinking is along similar lines, but either comes too early or isn't that much out of the realm. The sudden shift in World's End and the double-meanings of the bar names after the shift and shit is a better fit for what we're talking about here.
In TV Shows speaking, Prison Break
The show run for so long that it had to pull out some ridiculous shit.
>show is called Prison Break
>it ends after they break from prison and the writers had to bs their way for 4 seasons
It's like Peep Show which should have ended at the wedding but then meanders along for another three or four seasons.
Speaking of tv shows. Didn't Heroes have a whole season about circus?
>watching past the first season
Mistaaaaake
The descent was three different movies.
1. Movie about girls going on vacation to support their friend
2. Claustrophobic horror
3. Cave trolls out of nowhere
I like this movie but I don't think I'd include it here. Something like 'Time Trap' would qualify before this would I think.
Spoiler: Inferior shovelware movie where people who can't act very well go down into a cave where time runs uber-fast, so everyone inside the cave is from different periods in history. They get trapped there all together the second they enter it basically, since time is running so fast outside. Cavemen, conquistadors, cowboys, etc. Nice concept and effect like seeing people frozen in place, and them seeing a weird kinda ominous flashing light at the entrance, which is the day/night cycle sped up outside, going outside again and seeing shit in a decayed state. etc.
Questionable as to whether it's worth the time to watch, depends if you're into that sort of thing.
>not someone enters a cave
>crunching sound coming from the back
>ignite lighter
>pile of bodys in clothing from different time periods
>dozen reflective spots open just out of the light
>Velociraptor pack attack
>run back towards the entrance
>past the robots
>past the greys waving butt probes
>get out of cave
>nothing left but ruins
>just you and fastest raptor
>have to repopulate the world with raptor.
>fin
i think mine sounds better.
Time Trap is sneaky good considering it'd budget limits and it is just shovelware.
Yeah, to be fair it's punching above its weight to some degree. As to how much, your mileage may vary.
I liked that the teacher was Beef Supreme from Idiocracy.
Probably a shit example, but it goes in such a different direction than you would think with the mutiny.
>movie only remembered because of a nude scene
I don't even remember what was the film about beside that
Parasite and the change was for the worse.
Pretty much any Bong movie fits the bill.
Hancuck could have been good tho, if only his wife was loyal.
but we are supposed to be talking about the movie, I enjoyed it, definitely should have leaned into the despair and tragedy angle of the situation instead of rom-com.
two corporeal gods doomed to watch everything they love wither and die, hundreds of children like sand slipping through your fingers and the only one who truely understands can never even be in the same country as you or you will both slowly die.
>lol no, she cucked him
>that should be the focus.
The whole plot shouldn't have existed and the movie should've been about him growing into a being hero.
Did you forget how the movie begins? It's pretty clear what it's gonna be.
this one, short of
is it true that the mc is a member of the triadas?
The Kid? Stephen Chow? The character? I do not understand your question
Barbarian.
Rat Pfink a Boo Boo is the original example of a movie becoming well known for this
Happens very early in both films, but felt like a huge switch:
Wreck-It Ralph
>expect to have old games and characters and [shit you recognise] shoved down your throat for two hours
>spend all your time in candyland race game with derivative but OC characters with actual personalities and original story
>everything went better than expected
Wreck-It Ralph 2
>expect to have further adventures with OC characters and minimal references again
>Emoji movie
>Total opposite to first bait-and-switch and everything went worse than expected
LOTR
>starts off seeming to be about cool sword and sorcery adventure
>turns out to boring gay shit with hairy-toed homosexuals meandering around in the woods for ten hours
>didn't see that coming
This one for sure
>first half of movie: kino about a robot staffed theme park
>second half: extended chase scene with a guy trying to survive a robot out to get him
Didn't the modern version start off similar, but then turn into some kind of girl-power shit or something? What a twist.
Not a movie but I remember noticing that every Simpsons episode changed plots half way through
The Wailing
>expected comfy mystery kino about a serial killer
>get occultism instead
That was me except I expected zombie kino and I got demons and satan and it made me feel like shit.
The first Mad Max gets a weird turn with him going on vacation with his family for most of the movie.
>Family, let's go for vacations
>but dad the post-apocalyptic society is reaching
>I don't care let's go
Overall I would say that the first Mad Max is a revenge movie where the event the protagonist avenges happens 15 minutes before the movie ends.
Audition (1999)
This isn't halfway through, more like 20% through, but it's one of the most drastic tonal shifts in a movie.
forgot pic
I've never heard of this movie, but from the synopsis it sounds interesting.
Give it a watch anon, last time I checked it was free on Tubi. It's a great movie.
This shit was beyond jarring
Why are they looking like models from PS3 game?
AI poster
Same reason the script for Rebel Moon reads like it was written by ChatGTP (because it was).
Good Morning Vietnam.
Agreed, it was kino for the first half then it just turns into complete nonsense awful awful writing. And then it doesn't even have a third act it just ends lmao
>And then it doesn't even have a big battle it just ends lmao
Ftfy
Hanwiener is a mediocre superhero subversion with a mildly interesting second half that subverts the subversion.
The third act is conflict resolution. There was no conflict resolution, dude just fricking left.
>dude just fricking left.
After a battle, to resolve the conflict of them not being able to be near eachother.
Yeah man in godfather what if Al Pacino just left the country to resolve his conflicts
What if Batman faked his death
>Star Wars: Beginning seems like an interesting adventure in the desert towns with this teenage farmer and his kooky old neighbor. It randomly turns into space battles or some shit.
>Empire Strikes Back: started as a neat exploration of a snowy ice planet with dangerous monsters, midway through turned into some slow speed space chase to a cloud planet then they get caught by the bad guys.
>Return of the Jedi: an awesome desert adventure to rob a crime boss of his prized possessions, midway through turns into vietnam jungle teddy bears.
almost feels like 3 movies in 1
do you think anyone went into bone tomahawk thinking it was just a western
fight club
starts off relatively grounded, main character as immature unreliable narrator
becomes capeshit slop tier
Barton Fink.
Every movie.
They all start out trying to be relatable to hook you
Then they want to run away while clenching your emotions to influence you according to the propaganda objectives
Vlad pls
I didn't even watch all of the second half because I lost interest
>unique mystery that genuinely makes you care about what's going on and is slowly paced
>and then the spaceship gets pee wee herman's voice and it's just WOAH GOING SO FAST AND TALKING REALLY FAST ISN'T THAT FUNNY for the last half hour
Kino coming through
The Accountant
Fire Walk With Me
>movie starts out with a really novel premise of shrinking down for the rest of your life to save money and resources
>engage the viewer by exploring the concept briefly at the start
>veer hard off the rails and become just a typical drama movie where the whole downsizing premise isn't even a factor
This was such a letdown
Not a movie (although it tries to be) but this is the biggest example.
That scene in indigo prophecy when he sleeps with the dead woman always weirded me out. Like it would not be enjoyable to sleep with a cold body...
What the hell is with that whole Jeopardy plotline
this one is a clusterfrick
First half of the movie works out so well too. Shitty butthole hero takes steps to repair his reputation.
The second half looks more like a terrible sequel that they just edited into the movie to make a better runtime.
