Some TV shows with surprise endings are The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and Night Visions. Night Visions was canceled in 2001. To my understanding, some of the Star Trek episodes and a different sci-fi series had surprise twists. I’m going to take a wild guess that the last episode of Lost will have a surprise twist.
I think that The Sixth Sense has the best surprise twist ending of movies. I watched the “6 minute extra” at the end of the DVD and then watched the movie a second time. I also like the surprise twists in The Others with Nicole Kidman, Unbreakable, The Village, the 1998 Merlin mini-series, The Butterfly Effect, Contact, and Orphan. Orphan’s ending is unusual, but not supernatural.
One of the Star Wars movies obviously has a surprise twist that you find out that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker’s father.
I haven’t seen The Crying Game or The Departed, but I heard the surprise twist to The Crying Game, and I’ve only heard that The Departed has a surprise twist.
The twist in Nightmare on Elm Street Part 1 is that Freddy Krueger for some reason isn’t actually dead yet even though he was set on fire again.
The Blair Witch Project has a surprise twist where you have to read the movie’s web site and message board to understand it. I haven’t seen The Blair Witch 2 prequel, so I don’t know if it also has a twist ending.
However, I did not like the twists to Lady In The Water, The Happening, Paranormal Activity, and American Psycho.
I thought that Lady in The Water was made more for juveniles.
American Psycho has a lame surprise twist, but I think it’s the second worst movie I’ve ever seen. I saw it and I thought it was a waste of 2 hours of my life. I thought that The Silence of The Lambs was worse.
I haven’t seen the Saw movies, but I’ve heard that some of them have surprise twists. They don’t seem like the kind of movies I’d watch.
The Butterfly Effect also has an alternate ending. I didn’t like Paranormal Activity’s endings, but it has an alternate ending.
If you rent The Ring on DVD, there’s a way indicated at http://www.gamewinners.com/dvd/Ring.htm where you can watch that spooky ring video. I suppose that this is the most famous movie Easter egg.
The Doom movie DVD has the Doom 3 demo if you put it in your computer. When you put The Pirates of The Caribbean Part 1 DVD in your computer, it has a program where you get to change a picture of yourself into one of those skeleton pirate zombies.
I’ve heard that the Friends season 1 DVD has an episode that didn’t air for some reason. I’ve also heard that The Simpsons season 1 DVD has an episode that didn’t air for some reason.
Blue Ray discs have lots of extras, but I don’t have a Blue Ray player yet.
Please post shows or movies with surprise twist endings, alternate endings, movie Easter eggs, or the best deleted scenes. Don't actually tell me the surprise twist. I want to be surprised.
EDITS: More Easter eggs: The American Pie DVD is supposed to have extras when put into a Windows computer. When The Mummy DVD is put into a Windows computer, there’s a Mummy game, screensavers or wallpapers, and Universal Studios links. The Chronicles of Riddick DVD is supposed to have a playable level when put in an original X-Box or X-Box 360. I haven’t seen The Chronicles of Riddick yet.
