Hello everyone. Greetings and welcome to yet another Top 11 by Daffy. Why Top 11? Because everyone else is doing it and I'm a follower. I know you have all been anxious to read my latest installment. Well, here it is FINALLY!!!!

Today's topic is: Moments You Never Saw Coming in the movies. That's right. These are the top moments that had you saying, "OH MY GOD! Did that really happen?" But, I'm not gonna put the most obvious. Why? Because they have been done to death.

So, instead of putting them in this list, I'll just give them all honorable mentions.

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!! SPOILERS DEAD AHEAD!!!! If you haven't seen some or any of the following movies, do NOT read on if you don't wanna ruin it for you.

Okay. Here it goes. Honorable mentions: Star Wars "I am your father" moment, Psycho "Dead Mother" moment, Sixth Sense "Dead Bruce" moment, Se7en "What's in the box?" moment, and that God awful Citizen Kane "Rosebud's a sled" moment.

And so, without further ado ----What does that even mean anyway?---- I give you the Top 11 Moments You Never Saw Coming.

11.) EINHORN'S A MAN!!!!! (Ace Ventura: Pet Detective)

Ha! Bet you didn't expect something like THIS to be on this list. Well, here it is. This movie is about a guy named Ace Ventura (played by Jim Carrey) is a pet detective (in case the title didn't tip you off) who is looking for the missing mascot for the Miami Dolphins. At one point, he kisses a really good looking woman named Lt. Lois Einhorn. Later, Ace finds out that not only did she kidnap the dolphin, but she is a HE!!! Cue the inevitable ‘Crying Game' joke. This was one of the most DISGUSTING things that I've ever seen (topped only by TGWTG's Batman and Robin in 5 Seconds). Don't worry. She is really a she in real life. Just look it up.

10.) Nazi in a hottie's clothing (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade)

What can I say? Indiana Jones is one of my favorite franchises. And the third installment of the series is no exception. It's all about Indy looking for his dad who knows where the Holy Grail is. Along the way, he meets a woman named Dr. Elsa Schneider. And the inevitable romance between her and Indy go off without a hitch. Except, of course, when it is revealed that Elsa is one of the bad guys. She takes Indy's dad's diary and ties up our hero. Don't worry. He gets out of it. But the big reveal of Elsa being a Nazi is something I DEFINITELY didn't see coming.

9.) Inside the house (When a Stranger Calls)

Okay, okay. I know this is another obvious one. But, it's one of my favorites. Plus, I couldn't really think of a better thing for the number nine spot. This movie is all about a killer that kills children and stalks baby sitters. If you don't know what the big moment was, then you really don't know your scary movies. I'll just give you the line. "We traced the call. It's coming from inside the house." There. Now you should remember.

8.) Blown to bits (Speed)

My God, this is one awesome movie. It's all about a criminal played by Dennis Hopper who's out for revenge against Keanu Reeves, a cop who always foils his master plans. So, the criminal gets Keanu on a bus that has a bomb that goes off if the bus travels lower then 55 miles per hour. But, the part that catches me by surprise is as follows. Keanu's partner (played by Jeff Daniels) believes he found the bad guy's hide out. He goes in and sees a bomb. About a second later, the house blows up. It's a very sad moment. And another one I never saw coming.

7.) No more Ms. Nice Guy (The Mask)

Yes, it's another Jim Carrey movie. Back off. I like him. Anyways, this one's about a guy named Stanley Ipkiss who finds a mask that gives him special powers. When he robs the bank he works for, he gets the mob (who was also planning a heist that night) on his tail. One of the women in Stanley's life is a real nice girl named Peggy Brandt. She's a reporter for a newspaper. She saves Jim from a tight spot at one point and takes him to a warehouse to recuperate. But, unbeknownst to Stan, Peggy's on the mob's pay roll. So, the mob shows up and Peggy hands him over. I can't believe that a such a nice woman would do something so horrible. But, I like what happens next. In a deleted scene, the mob evidently kills Peggy, but it was cut out for being too graphic. The scene, in my opinion, is hilarious. If you have the DVD, check it out.

6.) A woman who can really sink her teeth into you (From Dusk ‘Til Dawn)

What the heck is this movie supposed to be about? I couldn't keep up with any of it. From what I can figure, it's about two criminals played by George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino that kidnap a family and take them to a striper bar. So, the most shocking part comes near the beginning of the movie. Selma Hayek, who plays one of the strippers, starts her little routine. In the middle of it, SHE TURNS INTO A HORRIBLY DISGUSTING VAMPIRE!!! My GOD! Talk about a cock blocker. This had me saying, "What the hell?! You have to make a woman who was SO HOT into something SO UGLY?!" But, whatever.

5.) Dead as doornails (The Others)

Here is another weird as all hell movie. It's about a woman who has two kids. Her kids have a rare disease that makes them fry in the sun. So, the house is always kept dark. Eventually, ghosts start causing havoc. The drapes are flung open for no reason. The daughter starts getting possessed by an old lady. But, the most shocking thing happens at the end. It turns out that THE WOMAN AND HER KIDS ARE THE GHOSTS!!!! Back in the old days, the woman couldn't take it anymore. (From what I don't know) So, she killed her kids and herself. Now THAT'S what I call a plot twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan's early years.

4.) Who's your daddy? (Devil's Advocate)

Yeah. It's another Keanu Reeves movie. But, it has Al Pacino to make up for him. Keanu plays a big shot lawyer who is recruited into Al's law firm. But, all is not what it appears. Soon, very weird things start happening to Keanu's wife. A bunch of things start happening that I can't really remember right now. In the film's climax, Keanu is with Al in his (Al's) office. They are having a chat. It seems AL IS THE DEVIL. Not only that, but Keanu is his son!!! But it doesn't end there. It turns out the woman that Keanu's been lusting over is his SISTER!!! And the Devil wants Keanu to father her child. YUUUUUUUCK!!!! Well what happens after that.... You'll just have to see the movie. It's really good.

3.) Pushing up daisies (Carrie)

Carrie. One of the classic Stephan King stories. It's all about this weird girl with psychic and psychotic powers. She's always made fun of. And, when things go a bit too far at the prom, she goes nuts and massacres the entire student body and faculty. She then goes home to find some sympathy from her mother, but the mother tries to kill her. She instead kills her mother and then, racked with guilt, she brings the house down on herself. She then dies. OR DOES SHE?!?! Sue, one of the only survivors of the massacre, later has a dream where she visits Carrie's grave. Here's where the shocking moment comes in. While Sue is putting flowers on Carrie's grave, Carrie reaches up with her bloody hand and GRABS HER!!! Sue then wakes up screaming. So, was it a dream? Or a premonition?

2) Guess who didn't die (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest)

I know this is a VERY recent movie. But, there was one part at the end that just Blew. My. Mind. As everyone is grieving over the loss of Jack Sparrow, Tia Dalma asks if they would save Jack if they could. Obviously, they all say yes. So, Tia Dalma says, "Then you're gonna need a captain who knows those waters." Then, who would walk down the steps but CAPTAIN BARBOSSA! The bad guy from the first movie that we were all sure he was dead. It freaked me out so much that I had to see that movie again. I was like, "HOLY CHRIST IN HEAVEN! HE'S BACK?!?!?!" It was an incredibly good way to keep us in suspense till the next one.

And the number one moment NOBODY could have seen coming is....

1.) Something in the water (Friday the 13^th)

I know you know what part I'm talking about. But, let me give you a brief rundown of the movie. In the first scene of the movie, a boy (Jason) is killed in a summer camp when the other kids push him in the lake and he drowns. Why didn't the councilors help him? They were to busy getting busy. Twenty two years later, the camp is reopened. And, what else could happen but the councilors getting killed one by one. But it's not Jason who's doing it. Nope. It's his mom. Eventually, a girl named Alice kills her. After all the panic, Alice gets into a canoe and goes to the middle of the lake to calm herself down. As the sun gently rises over the trees, A FREAKING CORPSE JUMPS OUT OF THE WATER AND DRAGS HER UNDER!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!! You mean after everything, in a finally calm moment in the film, THE SON COMES BACK?!?! HOLY CRAP!!! I can't believe that anyone here will say that they saw this coming when they first saw the film. It just caught EVERYONE off guard.

So, there you have it. A list of what I think are the top 11 moments that nobody saw coming. I realize that this list has some MAJOR holes. But, these were the only ones I could think of. I hope you have enjoyed this edition of Daffy's Top 11.

I'm Daffy.
