I should add that the reason the above was not anticipated was because a moment earlier the nurse (and the audience) was startled by the guy in a room that started chewing her out for scaring him.
It was an absolutely brilliant set up for what came after.
THIS truly stunning twist between David Caruso & Christopher Walken in "King of New York" is guaranteed to blast you outta your chair with utterly unapologetic (and, for once in this anarchic age of supposedly 'hip' cartoon carnage with no realistic or mature moral fiber) unforgettable power.
Although this would not be apropos to the word shocking, a bunch of films I have seen I was annoyed because it suddenly ended and I didn't want it to end. So I have been surprised over the years when I see the film come to an end and I was not expecting that.THE BIRDS -63- As one example.
Last 5 minutes of Looking For Mr Goodbar. A serious shocker ending right out of the blue - perhaps somewhat reactionary in its wider socio-sexual implications, but still never surpassed for sheer shock, IMO. Extraordinary but distressing.
Honest-to-matrix, we'd forgotten about this late 70s flick, Heath-ski, so thanx for the reminder ... and we also concur with your sentiment about the ending (much as have a helluva lotta problems with it - but it's also given us the excuse to do somethin' about it via Ms. Keaton own resurrected Appreciation.
See?
Tis all YER bloody brilliant fabulous 'fault', so there - nyahhhhh.
Dammit - I knew we should have stayed to check for any post-credits bonus scenes!
Great film, by the way - GREAT film. And a wonderfully appropriate soundtrack that gives the lie once again for the need always to have a melodic score.
Well !....Let that be a lesson to you TG
Loved the movie. Gripping stuff throughout. The effects were gobsmacking. Hope you saw it in IMAX 3-D ?
Coming out, we all said "Crocodile".....or, "Apes on horses !"
That's funny. I saw GRAVITY last week, and there was no post-credits sequence that was shown, though I saw FROZEN the day before, and there was one after its credits.
Is there a post-credits sequence with GRAVITY? And, if so, what is it?

Richard Crenna arises from the same beach, looks around and says "Jesus, that took a while." Four seconds later, Tim Robbins does exactly the same thing.

I hung around until the end the second time I saw it, and blow me if Iron Man didn't emerge from behind the capsule, showing that he'd in fact assisted with her re-entry. As it were.

This spell-binding sequence remains practically PEERLESS as an example of all the Mo'om Picture Arts and Sciences - writing/acting/directing/cinematography/editing and especially Henry Mancini's galvanizingly gripping music - coming together in superbly seamless synchronicity (even Mr. Arkin has professed his original astonishment once he actually saw its spectacular effect on unaware audiences) ...
