10 Insane Recent Movie Moments Nobody Saw Coming

Those wild moments from recent movies that shocked the world.

Movie marketing is so relentlessly spoilerific these days, ensuring that potential customers have an incredibly specific idea of what they're throwing their money down to watch.

As such, it's always a genuine surprise when a film actually does something wildly unexpected that nobody watching ever saw coming.

We as audiences may feel like we've see it all - and, for the most part, we'd definitely be right - but every so often a film will do something so totally out of left-field that the only thing we can do is watch in sheer stunned amazement.

And the last few months have certainly delivered their fair share of delightfully unhinged cinematic moments that nobody could've ever predicted. While some of them were certainly divisive, all of them were absolutely unforgettable.

From impromptu sing-songs in otherwise horrific scenes, to insane final montages, nauseatingly brutal deaths, hilarious cameos, and everything in-between, these are some of the most disarmingly deranged movie moments of recent times - if not ever.

Let's face it - if you claim you saw any of these moments coming, you're probably lying. And either way, nobody will believe you...

10. M3GAN Sings "Titanium" - M3GAN

The marketing for M3GAN did an absolutely outstanding job of selling the film's darkly comedic and surreal nature, focused on the titular android kicking ass and looking damn slick while doing so.

But the trailers had enough restraint not to spoil one of the film's best moments - a scene that's both hilarious and terrifying and quickly blew up on social media following the movie's release.

At the end of the second act, once M3GAN has caused the death of young Cady's (Violet McGraw) bully Brandon (Jack Cassidy), Cady gets ready for bed and asks M3GAN about what happened.

M3GAN cryptically retorts that she'll never let Cady come to harm ever again, before launching into a tender - if fundamentally robotic - lullaby rendition of David Guetta and Sia's 2011 pop hit "Titanium."

It's an especially inspired choice given that M3GAN is herself comprised of titanium, and beyond that, achieves a giddy mix of being outrageously funny and utterly horrifying.
