All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game": Difference between revisions

* The trope namer would be ''[[The Crying Game]]'', a very gripping and emotional political thriller famous for the hero's love interest turning out to be a pre-op transexual. It is ''the'' defining aspect of the movie, and overshadows just about everything else to the point to where its spoiler status is all but a thing of the past.

* Would you believe that the Good Guy/Chucky doll being alive in the original [[Child's Play]] was supposed to be a plot twist? Given his status as one of the greats of the Slasher Film industry, right up there with the likes of Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger, it's safe to say ''no one'' does nowadays, and it's for the better since it's the main hook of the movies.

* [[Soylent Green|"It's people! Soylent Green is people!"]] An effective plot twist, meme, and hook, all in equal measure.

* Bruce Willis was [[Dead All Along]] in [[The Sixth Sense]], right up there with "I see dead people" as the movie's most famous aspect.

* [[The Bible|Jesus died for your sins.]]

* Earl's carelessness causes the Ice Age... or in other words, everyone is doomed to die at the end of ''[[Dinosaurs]]''. While a funny and well-written show in its own right, the sheer audacity of killing ''everyone'' in a '''sitcom''' is the real draw for non-viewers.

* Giygas is one of Nintendo's most beloved villains thanks to his horrific appearance, surprisingly tragic backstory, and memorably hopeless boss fight. He's also the final boss of ''[[Earthbound]]'', a very cute and silly game where you do ''not'' expect to be fighting an [[Eldritch Abomination]] that looks like a hellish, screaming void straight out of a [[Cosmic Horror Story]]. But while his appearance and nature are meant to be a secret that shocks and scares the player, it's safe to say that knowledge of his existence is what attracted the attention of new fans for a [[Cult Classic]] that desperately needed them.

* In ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'' and ''[[Red Dead Redemption 2]]'', John Marston and Arthur Morgan, the protagonists of each game respectively, die far into them. These are easily the best known aspects of each game, and have attracted to players curious about the emotional impact their deaths have on other people.
