I've said it before, but Kill Bill Vol. 1 had one of the best twist cliffhangers of all time

You've just watched what basically amounts to an almost-two-hour-long fight scene with virtually no dialogue and a straightforward, fairly boring, mostly linear plot. Her fiance and unborn daughter were killed, she was put in a coma, and now she's going to fly around and kill people for two movies. You're thinking "this is nothing like Pulp Fiction" and "I really have no interest in watching another movie full of this same shit" when suddenly, out of nowhere, as the closing credits are about to crawl, Bill says one line that completely changes your outlook and expectations for the sequel:

"One more thing, Sofie... is she aware her daughter is still alive?"

And with that, you realize that the second movie is going to be nothing like the first. There is going to be dialogue, and plot, and character development. At some point, she's going to have to make the choice of whether or not her revenge is worth killing her daughter's loving father figure, of whether there was truly anything worth getting revenge for in the first place.

Instead of dreading the second movie, you're counting down the days until it's released.

Now that is a motherfucking twist ending.

^This. And possibly why I liked Vol.2 more than I did 1.
