In Kill Bill, she says she's going to kill Bill. She ends up killing Bill.
Good call. Also... the movie is called "Kill Bill".
And if you swap the first letter in each word of the title you get "Bill Kill". Reverse them, and what do you get? "Kill Bill". Way to spoil the plot, Tarantino!
😆
that's the name of the movie!
In John Dies At The End, John dies at the end.
The "Reservoir Dogs" sequence is not foreshadowing, it's just good character development.
In Kill Bill Vol:1 Ren says to the Bride that she hopes she has kept her energy, otherwise she won't last 5 minutes... Their fight lasts 4 minutes and 59 seconds...
I do t think counts because it was both in a prequel and very blatant, but Obi-wan telling Anakin “why do I get the feeling you’ll be the death of me” is a favorite of mine
Jurassic Park Sam Neils character can’t do up his seatbelt on the helicopter ride at the very start off the film to the island as he has two female connectors so he just ties them up anyway…… this foreshadowing the female only dinosaurs still being able to breed and lay eggs!
Life will find a way

The Reservoir Dogs diner scene wasn't forshadowing, it was character development. They each behaved in a way that was consistent with their personalities and continued to behave consistently throughout the movie.
My exact thought when hearing that part
Yeah, an "establishing" scene.
That scene was a nothing scene but kept me so enthralled. Tarantino has a way with scripts
It can be both.
So it was foreshadowing via character development.
2:27 using different pens to pretend your diary entries are written on different days is evil genius
The shadowing around Thor’s eye socket after losing his eyeball mirrors Odin’s eyepatch, foreshadowing Thor’s rising and surviving to lead the survivors of Asgard.
For me the best musical foreshadowing is in Scream, we are introduced to Billy as he comes in to Sydney's room and the song "drop dead gorgeous" by Republica is playing. The main line of that song is " I know my Ex-Boyfriend lies", foreshadowing Billy's deceipt
ahhh that's a good point, good ear.
Hmm interesting but I always had a feeling he was the killer but what do I know I was only 9 when that movie came out.
Shaun of the Dead - The plan for the night ahead given in the pub is exactly how the film plays out.
Yes they should mentioned that movie too.
Everyone has noticed that one on a second viewing.
These are more subtle
It happens in Baby Driver too , when Baby sits and watches TV at the beginning.
I think it's an Edgar Wright signature
Gonna have to mail a dictionary to Whatculture at this point
I'm not sure the Reservoir Dogs scene is foreshadowing so much as good character development. It's not telling you anything specific about what will happen. It's telling you what each character is like.
Yes, which is foreshadowing via character development. You’re overthinking it.
I think you are wrong with Seven…Envy wasn’t Mills sin…John Doe sin was Envy where Mills was Wrath…he took revenge for the death of his wife…completing his masterpiece
I'm pretty sure thats exactly what he said.."John Doe's Envy based kill of Mills Wife"
edited Does to Doe's
a small bit of foreshadowing in the godfather: luca brasi goes to bruno tattaglia’s bar and the camera films him through the decorative glass doors of fish swimming. not long after that, we learn that luca now sleeps with the fishes
Oh wow, I've seen that movie a hundred times and never noticed that
You had hardly any films with actual foreshadowing in that video, you missed out Dogma - near the beginning of the movie when Alan Rickman turns up, there is a picture of the church Bethany has to get to in New Jersey, on her bedroom wall
Also in Thor: Ragnarok, the conversation between Thor and Surtur at the beginning of the film lays out the plot of the movie.
As it's David Fincher, the head-in-a-box allusion is probably entirely intentional. 😂
Is it just me but in Reservoir Dogs case these were more like character traits than foreshadowing...
Yeah, that’s a method of foreshadowing. You reveal something about the character to hint at what they are going to do later.
It's just you.
Also very early in knives out Harlan throbbed describes randsome as not being able to tell a stage prop prop a real knife then when he tries to kill Marta it turns out to be a stage prop.
You have to wonder if anyone at what culture actually has seen these films, or have just googled it to pump out a new top 10
Even though I enjoyed M. Night Shyamalan’s “Signs”, it has one of the biggest plot holes in history, why would aliens that can be severely damaged by water invade a planet that is covered with 70% of water. Not to mention that all it would take would be a rainstorm or high humidity and they would be fucked, it makes absolutely no sense, apart from us humans being made up of about the same amount of water. It’s suicidal to think they’d be able to succeed when all it would take is a splash of water to ruin your plans of global domination. 🤣🤣🤣
I think is a space travel trait, humans cant go to any near by planet without dying, Earth for the aliens at least had dry lands and you can protect from rain, so is safe than every other planet that humans can go right now, for starters you can`t breath in any of them, those aliens can, they have very good odds surviving here basically naked, humans need a space suit for even the Moon
@@Vidaluko very true, what I find troubling is that we have a lot of water in our atmosphere, but I guess they can tolerate that and only get hurt with liquid water.
@@st3althyone you are correct, and hey technically in war of the worlds the aliens die cause they can't handle unknown bacteria that humans spent their whole evolution to be unaffected by it. aliens in movies although scary and highly technology advanced are pretty stupid.
With alien movies that end this way I always see it as early history conquerors. They just sailed the ocean and came up on land and tried their best to colonize or destroy. I’m always like “just because aliens have mastered space travel doesn’t mean they are all knowing intellectual gods”. So these run of the mill aliens came across us, found they could survive the atmosphere and then did their best to infiltrate and failed
Maybe it was a suprise to them as well? If they never encountered water before than mabye they themselves didn't know that they are vulnarable to it? or maybe it's the specific kind of "water" that is H2O that is poisonous to them.
HELLOOOO!!!
Midsommer!!!
The ENTIRE MOVIE is shown through a tapestry in the opening scene.
Ari Aster seriously needs to make more movies.
Why would Sommerset turn to Mills when he says “Envy” rather than when he says “Wrath” given that’s what Mills is the embodiment of for Doe?
They’re talking about someone who kills people for the sin they represent. John Die killed the obese man for being gluttonous, the lawyer for being greedy. He looks at Mills because he will be the one to kill envy, not Doe.
@@kotw1300 right, but Mills doesn’t REPRESENT envy-Doe does. Mills REPRESENTS wrath.
@@kotw1300 like, I guess it makes sense (though, it’s not like he’s looking at Doe when he’s talking about the other murders), I just think that (probably correct) interpretation makes the “focus on the murderer, not the victims!” Theme a little too….intentional? I dunno.
To be clear-you did clarify why that move makes sense. I just don’t like it and am a grumpy baby.
Nobody said he represents envy. Are you challenged?
@@hailtotheboomstick Woof. Speaking of the personification of wrath.
You mean the guy who says something psychopathic does something psychopathic later in the film? How did you pick up on that?
I woke up in hospital and couldn't feel my legs.
The doctors had cut my hands off.
I fucking LOL’ed upon reading your comment.
@@st3althyone It's an old one but still makes me smile.
There's actually foreshadowing about the eye-struck mural being foreshadowing in _Thor: Ragnarok_ in the way that Hela's heritage and the cover-up thereof were depicted in murals earlier in the movie.
Ha! Who DIDN'T notice the Thor eye-mural moment?
Signs: Where aliens who can’t handle water come to a planet that is over 70% water.
holy water. its not water that kills them, it's holy water. when he was still a priest he blessed the well, which is a common practice.
Fluoride in tap water
@@krisbateman457 I like your idea better, and the holy water is just utter bullshit. What role does religion play in any war/conquest - other than justifying the horrible acts you’re about to commit in the name of your god? None.
Regarding The Reservoir Dogs is that foreshadowing or just character development?
In Shawshank Redemption, Andy delivers the monologue "Get busy living, or get busy dying" where he spells out his dream of living on the coast of Zihuantanejo to his friend Red. Red's response was that it was a "shitty pipe dream." At the end of the film, Andy uses the shittiest of pipes to escape.
Scream having seven Ghostface killers and each one represents the seven deadly sins.
You had Signs? Sixth Sense had much better foreshadowing with scenes with Dead People having a red item in each of them - including the ones with just Bruce and Haley
Wait... you think Signs is good?
Good? No, Its fantastic.
@@alexsmart5452 Sure. Even though the creature's weakness is water. While they're walking around on a planet with so much water, it literally permeates the atmosphere. Which they are apparently breathing and walking around in without any protection. Yes. Fantastic.
@@pbDEMON they aren't weak to water, tho. it wasn't water that killed them. it was holy water.
What about the scene in Final Destination 2, in "Evan Lewis's" apartment just before getting pierced in the eye by an emergency ladder. The magnets on his fridge literally spell out "EYE"
The close up of Hooper's scuba oxygen tanks on more than one occasion was obvious foreshadowing in Jaws.
The entire plot of Die Hard - Fear of flying, take off your shoes make fists with your toes. John does that. The first "terrorist" John kills has feet smaller than his sister. The first meeting between McLean and Hans the camera focused on his feet, John said it was better than getting caught with his pants down. Chief of police chews John out for the explosion, says everyone's covered in glass. John says glass, who gives a shit about glass. Hans see's his henchman dead and bleeding in the glass. Promptly tells Karl to shoot the glass. John's feet gets cut to hell causing him to pick the glass out and John realizes he might not make it. So he asks Al to give his wife a message. Al tells John he will make it and can tell her himself. John makes a comment stating that that's up to the man upstairs. John then wonders why Hans was upstairs, John then discovers the bomb. John dangles off the building his bloody feet banging on the glass window. Hans falls through the glass window and down to the ground.
There's also a tie in with Hans' death to an earlier scene about Holly's watch. Al told a story to John earlier about shooting a kid and can't bring himself to draw his gun. Al draws his gun and kills Karl to save John. There's also Holly using her maiden name which prevents the "terrorists" from using Holly to negotiate with John until the reporter gets involved.
I'm sure that there's more. I'd have to give it another watch.
You missed "Law Abiding Citizen" that included "Eminence Front" by The Who in the soundtrack.
Now I have a few movies to rewatch
The Final Destination one of more of a reference to the Sword of Damocles.
how is prestige not in here? the opening bird trick gives away both borden and angier's trick
The Thor one I thought was a given.
That is not a Martian, its Dexter as a fly.
Here's a foreshadowing: If Jules from WhatCulture is not doing this video, then this list is no good.
It's always the case with WhatCulture!
I'm pretty tired of his one per list.
@@SantomPh Jules hasn't done a one per list for over a year now.
@@SantomPh Keep up, man; he hasn't done one of those in a long fucking time.
How about Fargo's Jerry Lundegaard, taking a phone call behind the vertical window blinds, indicating a future jail cell?
Is character development foreshadowing? The beginning of reservoir dogs imo is incredibly subtle character development
The two don't have to be mutually exclusive.
that one from 7 made my jaw drop. lol. i've seen that movie a lot of times and never noticed that!
my favorite foreshadowing of all time is still from shawn of the dead though.
cool video!
*foreshadowing added in on accident*
Directors : ah...yes...good catch...
Real foreshadowing in se7en would have been for 'rage' not 'envy.'
Fun fact, the first cut of Dog's, that never got aired, initially had text on the screen as the guys are walking to the car, it read:
All but one of these will be dead by the end & one is a cop.
Tbh it's a better film without that imo
although that can be a cool way to tell a story and give the audience suspense. I do think it's better without it
RED From 2010 Is A Good Example Through Richard Dreyfus Alexander Dunning character as the big bad later on
Not sure if that was foreshadowing about him being the bad guy. I just like that they stuck with the “not worth a bullet” and Moses just broke his hyoid. 😂
No actually Pitt killing Spacey was Wrath not envy so who ever came up with that one was wrong. Spacey killed Paltrow due to envy but Pitt’s killing was wrath.
Somerset turning to Mills foreshadow’s
John Doe’s Sin of Envy of Mills’ life.
That’s exactly what he said, John Doe’s envy based killing of Mills’ wife. He’s saying that it foreshadows Mills’ involvement in a sin.
You forgot Kill Bill, the tittle was foreshadowing. She killed Bill 😆
*"There's compressed air in there, if you screw around with these things there're going to blow up."* So, you know, whatever you do, don't put one in that sharks mouth or anything and then shoot it. Or anything.
Except that it takes something akin to a .50 cal armor piercing round to make a hole in one of those, and it wouldn’t explode, just decompress violently. Even the aluminum type, they’re thick to contain the enormous pressures required to store the air at several hundred Bar, are hard to pierce even with a high powered rifle. Demolition Ranch tried their best at replicating hitting several tanks, both steel and aluminum and they only received minor damage with anything under .50 caliber, even a .306 Lapua (non- armor piercing round) couldn’t manage to penetrate either of the tanks tough it left a nice ding on the aluminum tank. Just an FYI.
@@st3althyone Get many party invites Jose? ; - ) Only joking, I'll bear that in mind.
Fincher is so good that he got two movies in this list.
Black Mirror episode "Shut up and Dance" foreshadows Kenny's predilections in an early scene at his restaurant job. "That's the way, a-ha a-ha, I like it" plays as Kenny looks at one of the diner's children. Ugh! Great episode tho
y'all should really start naming the movies you show in the intro
Not forshadowing so much but the entire plot for Shaun of the dead is given in bullet point form by nick frosts character 10 minutes into the film
"A few bloody Mary's" the supermarket girl in the garden
"Finish off with a lock in at the Winchester"
Seven is titled Seven, indicating seven murders... Bam! Foreshadowing!!!
🤣🤣🤣
decided not to finish watching this because there are several films here i have yet to watch but am eventually planning to do so.
That Gone Girl one was definitely a stretch.
SEVEN is GOAT
That was no marshan, thats a fly. Dexter switched heads with a fly lol so in Signs where you pointed out Dexter was playing an showed a marshan before Dexter in the fish bowl. No marshan 🤔
I dunno if I’d call Signs one of M. Night’s good movies.
Every single thing in a movie is there for a reason.
Nothing is put in a movie that won't have bearing later.
Even a MacGuffin like the Maltese Falcon.
Refuse to watch gone girl im not watching a soulless villian win
That's the same reason I refuse to watch election results.
@@paulthetexan yup
The Killing of a Sacred Deer is a rough movie.
Somekind of foreshadoving and for my opinion brilliant one is "Border scene" from Sicario..this is one of more inteligent" foreshadowing" in movie ever..after this scene we know what would happend on the end
4:10 you said his instead of her
Reservoir Dogs. Who shot Chris Penn? The only person left was Mr Pink. However, based on how Penn fell Pink needed to be in front of him. However, he is not in the camera shot.
Tim Roth shot Chis Penn who shot Harvey Keitel who shot I forget the name of the actor who plays the boss so to speak.
Hello! We want to buy an advertisement in your video, how we can contact you?
Feel it was a bit weak following up the signs one with the one about Thor’s eye
Got damn for the last time they are not aliens ..they are demons..the little girl had an angelic spirit..the holy water defeated them...(remember all the glasses of water the SHE left around the house)that's why the dog all of a sudden reacted like that cause he got possessed but wasn't earlier in the movie
i thought it was because he blessed the well.
In the Departed, everyone who is going to get killed is marked by an 'X' earlier in the film.
*Her secret lover billy, not his 🤣
That’s exactly what he said.
Signs was a good movie?
Yes
What channel helped with these details?
The song, Stuck in the Middle with You.
Get out- the comment about grandma whilst in the kitchen. If you’ve seen it, you know what I’m referencing.
And when she was “fixing her hair” in the mirror. That whole movie was a masterpiece in subtlety and unease. There was A LOT of foreshadowing in that movie.
Without any 'foreshadowing', movie makers are basically allowing themselves any sort of ending they can come up with. And that's just lazy writing.
the _Seven_ bit ain't foreshadowing either.
seriously... Somerset _looks_ at Mills when listing _Envy?_
omg. so, what are we to infer about the eye contact he makes during the first six?
that cop sitting to the left of the camera is guilty of 'em all *except* _Envy_ i suppose?
whoa, is that, like... foreshadowing the sequel? whhoooa.
and Mills was _Wrath_ fer fux sake... and even if _Envy_ was Mills' sin,
glancing at him when saying it earlier in the movie would _still_ *not* classify as foreshadowing.
when it comes to grasping simple concepts...
i'm sorry, but this is a list of failures.
I feel your thinking too much into that Seven one there 🤔
9:13 the foreshadowing in RD is actually from the liquid containers in the funeral home
I was thinking the same thing. The Diner scene is just character development as others have pointed out.
Yeah but who shot Chris Penn at the end of Reservoir Dogs?
Have we all decide to forgive signs for being a bad movie? Cause I still think it's a bad movie unless you're reading it as them being demons. Which is a nice fan theory but not in the text.
In John Dies At The End, John dies at the end.
I'm pretty sure I missed all of them.
That's a stretch for the Signs one. I don't think it's that deep.
Number one is easily right
Nope, even when you point it out i wouldn’t guess at what it foreshadows.
also in signs the daughter keeps drinking glasses of water which she doesn't finish, and she leaves the partially drank glasses all over the house.
even more subtle. when the radio is playing near the end, the announcer says the discovery on how to beat them was made in the holy land.
The Greater Good. THE GREATER GOOD.
Gone girl using fake entries all put at the same time is explained in the movie 😆😆 did you even watch the movie?
2:10
Nobody...?
Okay.
A lot of these are quite a stretch.
How is fight club nowhere on this list
2 unskippable 20 second commercials before and ads in the middle I love you guys but come on, that’s excessive
Get both the adblock and sponsorblock plugins - I haven't seen an ad in literally years
Shamalama's GOOD movies? SIGNS aside from a few good jump scares the movie as SO dumb. WATER? Seriously!!!? Did these aliens capable of interstellar travel do NO RESEARCH about a planet where it RAINS and is 70% WATER?!
Signs was not a good movie...
..... I wonder about you sometimes Henry.....
