12 Movies That Cleverly Gave Away Their Twists Early

4. The Orange Hints - Reservoir Dogs

The Twist

As is revealed pretty early in Reservoir Dogs, there's a rat in Joe Cabot's gang of thieves and when the diamond heist goes wrong and their plan falls apart, the villains learn that it's Mr Orange who is actually a cop undercover. The audience is clued into this earlier in the film, but even before the reveal, there are hints.

The Reveal

Right away, during the breakfast scene, Mr Orange reveals his true colours when Mr Pink refuses to tip and when Joe returns and noticed the tip is a dollar down, he asks who didn't tip. Without thinking, Mr Orange rats Pink out, showing his fellow gang members why he's not to be trusted.

There are other visual clues too. When Nice Guy Eddie rushes to the hideout to meet the heist survivors and work out what went wrong, there's an orange balloon seen following his car tipping us off who the rat is. Quite literally, Orange is after them.
