10 Movie Cliffhangers That Nobody Cared About? Really? I saw the Matrix Reloaded in theaters. And I was excited to see The Matrix Revolutions. The cliffhanger made me want to see what happens next
Neo had this crude but mysterious way of zapping Sentinels in Zion because it's the real world. A wireless transceiver system, like that in Neo's undiscovered implants, can be triggered in the real world.
I don't think the 'cliffhanger' at the end of Flash Gordon was a real tease for a potential sequal, just a nice nod to the original pulp tv serials where Ming the Merciless would inevitably return.
@@marvelsProtege well, they scraped all plans to continue the series of movies planned 🤷🏽♂️ obviously not many people cared. ... personally, I did. I wanted to see who they'd cast n I wanted to see where the story would go but I didn't get excited for it cuz I knew the movie had a lot of haters even before it was released.
i'm guessing the clifffhangers in Morbius would count considering how bad the film was, and that there most likely won't be any kind of follow up on that
Technically, it is clinging to life by being connected to the Venom movies, plus Sony has their animation department moving mountains for them, meaning they still have resources to puke out another Morbin' good time. Also, that upcoming Kraven movie might include Morbius.
Funny bit of Trivia: The Doctor Who episode Last of the Time Lords homages Flash Gordon with The Master's ring being picked up while his laughter is heard in the background.
Oh I know I'm probably going to catch heat for this one but it's only my opinion. I did not think that Godzilla 1998 was all that bad. I have seen way way worse movies than that. Matthew Broderick acting in that movie was definitely a little annoying but the overall movie itself I didn't think was too bad it wasn't great but it wasn't horrible.
I wouldn't say the Matrix Reloaded ending cliffhanger was one I didn't care about, rather I didn't understand. Here was some human guy that was barely in the movie, and hadn't there for who knows how long, then we see him again - upside down. I can have trouble recognizing familiar faces upside down, yet here was some guy I barely knew upside down, so it felt like they were introducing some important new character and I was confused.
70% of these are "Cliffhangers that didn't go anywhere because the movie didn't make enough to get a sequel." which isn't the same as "no one cared about the plot."
@@gregbasore2108Yeah, but "not enough people cared and there wasn't a sequel" isn't as succinct as "no one cared." The video title would get cut off on tablets and phones.
Street Fighter- bonus scene- showed a computer screen. World Domination. Continue? Yes/No. Boson’s gloved hand appears and presses y. Film didn’t do well, and Raul Julia died before film was released.
You sure no one cared or does Universal have a huge problem regarding one of their oldest properties? There's a reason I say the Prodigium Timeline began with "The Mummy" '99 but someone got too handsy in the production as well as some of the canceled projects sounded terrible. Instead of shoving "Fast and Furious" down our throats, I thinkthey need to put their attention elsewhere as we're wading through Elseworlds. (Not to say some of those aren't entertaining...)
i watched Super Mario Bros. first time when i was around 8 and never thought that ending was a cliffhanger. It was just a way to end it. The princess was needing their help again, just like in the games. That's it.
There's a bit of revisionist history going on with the matrix entry. I was active on message boards and social media at the time, and while nobody much cared about Smith, Neo's powers working in the real was basically all anyone was talking about that summer
I also remember that clearly! The expectation was that the "real" world was just another layer of control, which makes a lot of sense. The first level being the unknowing matrix, the second layer being the "real" world is hell, and the fans thought that Neo was waking up AGAIN. Or maybe that Neo was never completely human.
In a way, it's good to know they had this talk-board buzz between movies. I didn't know that at the time. Theories among my friends and I included one about the power of The One being granted to one man in a century just as a recurring system stress test.
For grounding, though, let's remember facts as presented/implied by the films. Zion is a real place. They're just ~600 years off with there estimate of how much time has passed. The system of control is just that the machines let The One let people out if their minds are prone to rejecting The Matrix. To explain Neo's ability to zap Sentinels, all we need is to suppose his implants include a wireless transceiver.
@@alm2187 That still doesn't give manmade machines the ability to grant human beings magic powers to wave their hands and disable machines. There's no in-universe logic that allows Neo to do in real life what he can do inside a computer program unless "the real" is itself a simulation - which they also never established. Even when Agent Smith can suddenly possess a real human body, the guy can only do real-life phsyical things. You never see Smith, for example, take over other bodies outside the Matrix. He's only inside whatshisface.
Also note the bonus scene in AS2. Mysterious character visits Connor. Asking him if Peter knew, Connor screams “Leave him alone!” Director revealed that the mystery character was Peter’s father.
Not so much a cliffhanger, but a tease that went nowhere. In 2008's "The Incredible Hulk", a Special Forces agent forces a scientist to inject him with the serum that turns him into The Abomination. In doing so, the scientist accidentally exposes himself to the serum and his head begins to mutate. To old Marvel comic fans, this presages the appearance of that gamma-ray-created super-genius, The Leader. But, we never see the scientist again in that film, and The Leader is so far absent from the entire MCU.
Godzilla 1998 DID get it's continuation besides the animated Godzilla: Final Wars had 'Zilla' (Toho's renaming of Roland's wimpy monster) getting beaten up by the 'Real' Godzilla. Short sequence, blink and you'll miss it.
What you don't realise is the F&F franchise is a stealth Transformers spinoff hence why the vehicles pull off incredible stuff. The drivers are just minibots like Alice, that can be rebuilt at any time.
"No, no, look, I just got here, okay? Luigi's here. We're gonna take the new truck for a spin!" "Well, bring him along! This concerns him too!" "Wait a minute, Princess! What're you talking about? What, do we become Gumbas, or somethin'?" "Oh, no, n-n-n-n-n-n-no-no, both you and Luigi turn out just fine! It's..." What are the stakes here? And what's the protagonist's personal investment? I'd say that's the difference.
@guillermooquendo2073 I understand what he was saying but it's just weird for a movie that's not terribly old. Its like saying Sonic the Hedgehog which came out in 2020 if you were old enough to see it in theaters for everyone under 3 years old.
The Planet of the Apes twist makes sense in the movie. Mark Wahlberg takes a space pod and chases after a pod that contained his monkey friend who was sucked into an electrical storm above a planet. Towards the end of the movie he finds out the rest of his space crew chased after him and their ship crashed hundreds of years ago and created the smart apes. Then his monkey friend lands his pod. So the electrical field storm was some kind of time vortex. Mark uses the non crashed monkey’s pod and tries to return to Earth. But the bad guy Thane worked out a way to take an army into space now that he knew the truth of his origin and headed for Earth. Because he left after Mark he arrives on Earth before him like how the space crew arrived earlier even though they went through the storm later and Thane takes over Earth.
you missed ther point. Entering the vortex sent you into the past the later you entered the further into the past you entered. That is why the station crashed BEFORE Mark arrived and why the world changed as a result. When the monkey appeared it was because he entered first and Mark returned to the present using the ship. The problem it was a present altered by the crashed station and the thousands of years of history created from that point.
I suppose you could add the post-credit scene for the 2019 Hellboy movie. Part of me still likes it as a good bad movie, and I would consider watching David Harbour attempt the character again. But I think by that point, if you were even still watching you just wanted the movie to end.
@@Chrissykat24 My theory was that the blonde woman at the end was actually a new iteration of Van Helsing. Hell, since Vlad gave his son to the priest at the end of the movie, I could see her also being a direct descendent.
This list feels weird. It may be a trend now to plan squeals ahead of time, but that’s not how movies was always made. A lot if these have the endings they do in case it makes enough money for a sequel.
Doesn't seem like the nail on the head of the issue with Reloaded. When it was new, I held onto my Wachowskis-can-do-no-wrong mindset through the end, so I absorbed it better than most. As a matter of plain fact, though, the running time is unusually long. Consequently, with all that other stuff going on after Bane's penultimate scene, people forgot who he was. I found this out when a couple friends had to ask me. Not caring would have meant not asking. ALSO; the common complaint I've heard in retrospective commentary on them is no explanation in Revolutions for Neo's wireless connection to the Sentinels. Seems some expected something profound but all they got was that; he has an evident, wireless connection to the Sentinels. So that's sorta ceasing to care after the cliffhanger was resolved.
Well, another movie that I love even though it bombed in the box office was the Dolph Lundgren, a masters of the universe with its cliffhanger ending, showing skelter shouting. I will be back with his head popping out of a pool of water.
Avengers Infinity War did a proper cliffhanger ending? Guess everyone forgot that when it was announced that the next Avengers movies was a two-part movie because they hadn't given them proper titles in 2014. The Matrix was the same deal because both Reloaded and Revolution were released in the same year.
Okay but you're watching a what culture list. You know they barely know the back story of half the things they show which is why a lot of the time we the viewers correct them. Especially over obvious things.
I would argue both were. I liked the mix of old and new in the Mummy. Just like in the Wolf Man. I thought Dracula Untold would give a stand alone sequel, not a universe lol!
I think the Flash movie got its follow up in the Flash Gordon cartoons which featured the Phantom. I believe the Emperor lived again in the show. His love interest in the movie gave him a son but was never mentioned in the show.
Dracula Untold was actually fun, but I never really got the impression the end scene was a sequel bait. Just felt like an ambiguous conclusion. The Mummy... the best description I've heard of it is that all the parts without Tom Cruise are actually quite good.
X-Men :Last Stamd. Bonus scene that many people missed. Moira enters comatose patient’s room. Says “Good Morning.” Patient turns head towards her and you hear Xavier’s voice say “Hello, Moira” she responds with “Charles.” This was the time when most folks were unaware of bonus scenes. So no lone knew that Xavier had survived. Likely sequel would have addressed Xavier’s resurrection. But that didn’t come until years later with X-Men:Wolverine bonus scene.
And the effed up part about Fast X is they HAVE THE ENDING IN THE TRAILER😂 I think I'm officially done with movies in general or at least new movies Ugh😮
I have to Disagree about X-Men, I was very excited coming out of Apocalypse by the post credits scene, less because of Sinister, and more because I interpreted the fact that Essex Corp were taking control of Logan's blood as a tease that X-23 was coming, which did turn out to be the case in Logan.
Always cracks me up when whatculture shows Matrix Reloaded cliffhanger. You do realise Smith not only taking over the Matrix, he was also able to get into real world.
Don't trust every characters from Fast Saga. Who knows if Giselle is still alive considering Gal Gadot won't return as Wonder Woman as plans for third Wonder Woman film was scrapped indefinitely
Don't fast 3-6 follow a different order if one bothers to watch it that way? And even then... Still in that sequence I too wonder how Gisele comes back from the dead. Han I get it can be faked that way and Letti dtoo since it was the exact way Han died but Gisele, they better have a super creative reason for it
I do wish they wouldn't ponce about with these "post credit scenes". Speaking for most 50 plus folk, after 2 plus hours proceeded with the coming soons, our bladders can't cope. I thank you.
The only way I could ever like Marky Mark is if his ship passes through the storm and he becomes the Iron Man from the Black Sabbath song. As it is ape Lincoln is right on his level.
