9. What Happened To Anton Chigurh? - No Country For Old Men
The Cliffhanger: The Coen Brothers' Oscar-winning contemporary classic ends with bowl cut-wearing, cattle gun-shooting assassin Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) tying up a loose end by apparently murdering Llewellyn Moss' (Josh Brolin) wife Carla Jean (Kelly Macdonald), though it occurs off-screen. Chigurh drives through town and is involved in a car accident, causing him a severe arm injury, at which point he pays a local kid for his shirt to use as a sling, and then simply limps out of dodge before the authorities show up. Viewers no doubt expected a cleaner-cut ending than Chigurh slinking off and Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) talking about two weird-a** dreams he had. Does Chigurh survive or succumb to his not inconsiderable injuries? Does he get caught? What Probably Happened: Chigurh is an extremely resourceful man, so we expect his previously-demonstrated medical knowledge combined with his considerable coercion skills likely resulted in him getting fixed and kicking back for a few weeks. Still, we have absolutely no idea about any traumatic internal injuries Chigurh might've suffered from the brutal wreck, so he could very well have dropped dead 5 minutes after the movie ended...
