Lamest ending to a movie?

[lilFajita]

Panic Room. the movie was lame in general, I suppose...but the ending was especially "wtf"

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

Signs had a pretty sh!tty ending.
Castaway was pretty terrible too.

I watched this movie on tv at like 2am. It was called "Hell in the Pacific"...some 60s WWII movie about a US pilot and Japanese pilot who crash on the same deserted island. The movie was seriously long and there was little dialogue because these two guys didn't have a common language. Anyway...they go from enemies to friends and make a raft to get off the island. They float and float for days and finally make it to another island. They find an old bombed out hospital there where they clean themselves up. They find a bottle of saki and get drunk while they talk with each other (even though they can't understand each other) to celebrate getting off the island. All the while, you can hear some faint explosions in the distance. All of a sudden, after 3 hours of watching this movie, an artillery shell lands right on top of the two guys, they die, and the words "The End" appear on the screen!! :Q Worst ending ever!!

LOL...I remember seeing that once now. It had Lee Marvin (of Dirty Dozen fame) in it. I had the exact same reaction at the end of that movie!

I'm shocked that anyone else has seen this movie?!?! Hilarious!

LOL...yeah, it was one of those lazy saturday afternoons with nothing going on deals. I can't remember if it was on TBS or a movie channel.

AI - i could have done without a significant part of the ending

Dance with me(Vanessa Williams) - there were two words spoken for the last 20 minutes of that film

The Ninth Gate (Johnnie Depp) - great movie until the last 5 minutes. every single person walked out confused.

What's the lamest ending to a movie you've ever seen?

My vote for "It was so lame it was bad"

The end of the movie Volcano when the little boy was looking at the crowd of people all covered in ash and saying, "They all look a like." I don't recall having a metaphor so thoroughly shoved down an audiences throat.


My vote for "It was so lame it was funny"

The ending of the movie Staying Alive with John Travolta. At the end of the movie, his character, Tony has successfully performed his first professional dance production on Broadway. He is walking out of the back of the building when the love interest asks him what he's going to do now.
Tony: "I'm gonna strut."

He then proceeds to walk off in this goofy looking strut.

So you're admitting, on a public forum no less, that you watched both of these movies in their entirety? You are a brave, brave man.

Not voluntarily I was forced to watch Volcano with my wife and Staying Alive with my older sister when I was stuck inside one day and the older sibling had rule of the TV.

I have a pretty good bad movie instinct and it went off immediately with both of those. My lil-bro-in-law spent money on Queen of the Damned and then told me he wish he had listened to me before he rented it and wasted his time and money.

Ahh....the old "My Wife Made Me Watch It" excuse.....how original.

ROFL...well, I can go through the unmentionable Lifetime Movies I have been forced to watch with her from time to time if you like. I guess that is my pennance for making my wife sit through football and basketball games

Read the book (Stephen King). Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the movie (although the movie was pretty good). Explains more in depth what's going on.

Frogs from the sky is referred to in the Bible as a sign of the Apocolypse, if i remember correctly. And the verse on the painting they show after the frogs start falling...i forget what the passage was...but that had significance. I haven't seen it in a long time...so i am a little blurry...

Whats so confusing? He gets to write his name in some book and he gets powers.

 

[js1973]

I agree with The Ninth Gate. It was like the movie company ran out of money to finish it.

 

[codeyf]

Jurassic Park 3 - One second they're surrounded by Raptors that got crazy with the eye shadow, the next the entire military lands on the beach and they go home.

Star Wars Episode 1 - It was the damn Ewok celebration all over again.

U-571 - They're in the sub, then they're in the raft, then there's a plane flying end. Roll Credits.

 

[Keego]

I hated Unbreakable's ending.

 

[BaseballSTUD]

the ending to Sign was horrible...well i guess it wasn't the ending it was just the whole fricken movie...what a crock:|

Close. Frogs was one of the 10 plagues on Egypt, and the scipture was from Exodus (I forget the exact scripture...)

It was basicly showing how they were "escaping" their old ways. Being set free from their past.


[edit] I do want to say that I thought it was pretty lame anyway. Felt like a forced metaphor to me, and I dont like those..

 

[nitsuj3580]

I just watched Boiler Room and thought it was a really cool movie, then it just ended

Very disappointing cuz it was building up for a great finish

ahhh thanks for the clarification.

I thought the ending was good. made you think...

 

[thebestMAX]

Are you talking about "Hell Come To Frogtown" with Rowdy Roddie Piper?

So many lame, so many lame I cant choose. Ive probably seen a lot more movies than most of you.

U-571 and The Patriot still have 2 of the best home theater surround sound mixes out there

 

[SpiderX]

Contact - What the hell. the alien was her Dad? That was the biggest crock ever.

 

[gotsmack]

contact was the movie where aliens send jodi foster instructions to build a really big microwave and trick her to get inside.

 

[DoNotDisturb]

vanilla sky's ending.

 

[Parrotheader]

The Bone Collector

To quote Roger Ebert's review:

"Most movies with a zillion clues have the good manners to supply a couple that are helpful. This movie's villain appears so arbitrarily he must have been a temp worker, in for the day."
