Foreshadowing/Film: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Megamind]]'', after {{spoiler|creating Titan/Tighten}}, Megamind holds up a picture of Metroman with the head ripped off, so {{spoiler|Titan's/Tighten's}} head is in place instead. Later on, after {{spoiler|Titan/Tighten has revealed that [[Face Heel Turn|he prefers being evil]], he holds up the same Metroman picture, this time with Megamind's head in place. Not only does this hint to who the true hero will be in the film, it also gives a subtle clue as to who it ''really'' is when Metroman turns up during the final battle}}.

** In the final fight shortly after Metroman {{spoiler|(Megamind in disguise)}} says his death was greatly exaggerated, he strikes a grand pose and the tassels on his boots straighten and flare out as if Metroman is even able to flex his tassels. This frightens Tighten who immediately takes off trying to get away. Metroman can't flex his tassels, {{spoiler|the tassels were being blown around by the jets as Megamind powered up his flying suit}}.

* When Lightning McQueen and his pit crew arrive at Tokyo, Japan to meet Miles Axlerod in ''[[Cars|Cars 2]]'', while they are all talking to Axlerod Sarge is frowning while everyone else is smiling, suggesting that he is thinking that Axlerod is up to no good. Guess who's actually right!

** Also, the line "But I ''never'' leak oil!" Guess who was with Mater when the tow truck saw a puddle of oil on the carpet!

* At the beginning of ''[[Enchanted]]'' when Giselle is building a mannequin of her true love, of whom she dreamed, {{spoiler|the mannequin is wearing Robert's blue jacket from the ball, not Prince Edward's poofy-shouldered maroon outfit}}.

* A ''veeeeeeeeeery'' subtle one in ''[[Terminator]] 2'' when the T-1000 shows up looking for John. In the first film, dogs were established as being used to spot infiltrators. John's dog Max, barely visible and audible in the background, is going ''nuts''.

** During the opening of part 1, the radio mentions the theft of plutonium by terrorists, the same who show up trying to kill Doc.

** George McFly flexes his hand defensively during a confrontation in the unaltered 1985 in ''Part I'', foreshadowing his final fight with Biff in 1955, the opening montage of the film (in Doc Brown's garage) foreshadows later parts of the film, including Doc's hang off the clocktower.

** Donovan says to Indy that they're only a few steps away from finding the Holy Grail, which prompts Indy to say "That's usually where the ground falls out from underneath your feet." Guess what happens when the Grail is found towards the end.

* In ''[[Halloween (film)|Halloween]]: H20'', Laurie Strode (who now goes by the name Keri Tate) is teaching an English literature class on [[Mary Shelley]]'s novel ''[[Frankenstein]]''. Molly, one of the students, responds to a question about the book and fate with this: ''"I think that Victor should have confronted the monster sooner. He's completely responsible for Elizabeth's death. He was so paralyzed by fear that he never did anything. It took death for the guy to get a clue."'' She goes on to say that Victor finally confronts the monster because he ''"had reached a point in his life where he had nothing left to lose. I mean, the monster saw to that by killing off everybody that he loved. It was about redemption. It was his fate."'' This foreshadows the final scenes in the movie where Laurie finally decides to stop running from [[Complete Monster|Michael Myers]] and confront her monster. After 20 years of living in fear and seeing her loved ones murdered, she had nothing more to lose. It was time to face her fears and end the nightmare.

** Not to mention the entire "Tomoka" vignette in the same movie. When the reason for the mysterious "banging" on her wall every night is revealed, it's downright horrifying.

* From ''[[Thor (film)|Thor]]'', Loki's hand after he was touched by a Frost Giant. Also: "Allfather, you look ... weary."
