Hey, all! Now, many scenes in films have caught us off guard. We saw something we either never predicted, or never thought they would actually show us. So, what scenes in movies have you seen that you NEVER saw coming? Mine:
(SPOILERS FOR ALL!!!!)
Pulp Fiction: John Travolta being blown away like that. When him and Bruce just stared at each other, I didn't really think Bruce would kill him, so that was surprising.
Identity: The last 5 minutes. I KNEW something else would happen, but I didin't suspect the kid coming back, taking over, and the movie ending with the bad guy on the loose.
Arlington Road: Similar with Identity, except the bad guy had everything work out for him perfectly. Very surprising.
Magnolia: The whole "frog" scene. I never though, "Hmmm....everyone is down right now. I'll bet a bunch of frogs are going to come down from the sky right about now."

Call me an idiot but I never saw the spider walk coming (I knew it was there, just didn't know when. It just winded me. The ending of American History X where Danny gets shot. Never saw it coming. And the ending of Shawshank Redemption. I had tried my best to steer clear of spoilers, and it did me justice. Didn't expect it, and it was so good.

*SPOILERS*
L.A. Confidential - When James Cromwell shoots Kevin Spacey, I never expected that to happen.
The Maltese Falcon - Never expected Sam Spade to just turn Brigid in like that.
The Godfather - First time I saw it, I never expected to see Sonny get blown away like that.

SPOILERS!
Deep Blue Sea(1999)...when the Shark just jumps out of the water and grabs Samuel L. Jackson right after his "stay together" speech.
Magnolia: Wise Up. Of all the things I might have thought PTA would do this wasn't exactly high on the list.

****Spoilers for MAGNOLIA & FARGO****
-- Two brillant scenes I never saw coming in Magnolia, the raining frogs and "Wise up" singalong.
-- And I swear I never expected Buscemi to get hit with the ax, then burned into mush in the woodchipper.
****END SPOILERS***

*SPOILERS for Monster's Ball*
Heath Ledger's character committing suicide. Never saw that coming at all. Complete shocker.
And I agree with the Final Destination, Identity and American History X scenes.

SPOILERS****** for Braveheart, Trainspotting, Last of the Mohicans, Shallow Grave, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Dead Poets Society
BRAVEHEART--I never expected the various noblemen of Scotland to screw Wallace like they did in one of his final battles.
TRAINSPOTTING-- I never expected the baby to die.
LAST OF THE MOHICANS--This is a bit different than expected, but I never expected the ending of such a mediocre movie to be so cool.
SHALLOW GRAVE--The ending
PULP FICTION--Bruce willis + John Travolta
RESERVOIR DOGS--Harvey Keitel killing Tim Roth
DEAD POETS SOCIETY--I never expected Neil to kill himself. So drastic
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR MINORITY REPORT!
When Anderton decides not to kill Crow & begins reading him his Miranda Rights, Crow expresses shock that Anderton isn't going to kill him, saying that Burgess(who hired Crow) promised Crow that his family would be taken care of if he let Anderton kill him.
This surprised me because I initially thought the film was going to end with Anderton taking Crow away, but this was startling plot twist.
