The 21 Weirdest Possible Endings to Unresolved Movie Plots

#21: House does Thelma and Louise?

#20: The Terminator from Terminator 2 becomes a wall decoration in a Mexican restaurant?

#19: The guys from Stripes meet President Obama?

#18: Who is Kent Prescott, and what does he have to do with popcorn?

#17: Superman drops the Daily Planet globe and overturns some cars?

#16: Everybody from “Cheers” becomes an alcoholic? Oh, hilarious.

#15: Two guys in a snowy wood and The Neverending Story?

#14: Babe winds up as the guest of honor at a pig roast (okay, I get that one).

#13: Sarah Connor… what? Has weird eyes… because she’s a Terminator??

#12: Alien abduction… license plate reads “Not Again”?

#11: Luke becomes the new Emperor?

#10: ALF becomes the victim of an alien autopsy (okay, I get that one too, but eurgh!).

#9: Governor of New Mexico Brandon B. Mayhew? No idea.

#8: Indiana Jones witnesses a mushroom cloud and gets hospital treatment (okay, got it). From Crystal Skull.

#7: Princess Amidala and a pawnshop?

#6: Baby Sinclair from Dinosaurs winds up in a dinosaur exhibit (okay, gotcha). (“I’m the baby! Gotta love me!”)

#5: Somebody shoots Kal Penn? :eek:

#4: All the fish from Finding Nemo wind up for sale?

#3: Who is Larry Sellers?

#2: Not a clue. He looks like a cross between Keanu Reeves and Ralph Fiennes.

#1: The glowing thing in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction is a Lite Brite of Mr. Potato Head.

Please help me understand these. I may be a little out of step with pop culture (meaning I don’t see every movie made), but I am just lost. Pretend I’m your clueless but well-meaning mother-in-law.

  1. This one intends to suggest that House and Wilson are similar to Thelma and Louise, and will end up dying the same way.

  2. The unresolved movie thread is that parts of the Terminator might not be destroyed at the end of the movie, and so would end up somewhere - the photoplasty suggests where that might be.

19 Not sure about what’s funny about this one.

  1. But this one is great. At the end of “Real Genius” Kent receives what he thinks is a message from God, leading him to a house that is then destroyed by popcorn - obviously changing Kent’s life…

  2. A mystery in House was why Kai Penn’s character killed himself - this picture reveals that it was murder…

Better known as “Badger,” a goofball meth pusher/user from Breaking Bad, which is set in NM. I haven’t seen the last half-season yet, so I don’t know if there’s anything funnier about this than “goofball methhead gets elected governor.”

#2 looks to me like Sacha Baron Cohen, so I would guess that image would have something to do with the fate of Borat (not able to sit through that movie). Or maybe Brüno, or the Dictator, not sure. The fact that he bears a passing resemblance to Bashar al Assad might be, like, wishful thinking or something.

Tip I learned very recently:

Scroll down to the comments. Change the sort to “Votes”. Usually people upvote the full explanation.

#2 = Soup Nazi Nuremberg style

7

Huh. Thanks - apparently I’m not the only person who got hardly any of these, according to the comments. They’re also mad that a lot of the references are TV shows, not movies.

8

This one seemed especially hard.

9

Thank goodness. I thought I was missing too many “common” pop-culture references. I am glad to see I am not alone.

Stupid photoplasty.

10

I don’t think I got any of them, so I’m also happy to see that I’m not alone.

11

I feel as confused as that time I’ve learned about YouTube Poop videos.

12

More than just hospital treatment. He’s dying.

13

#3 is from The Big Lebowski. Larry is the kid who stole the Dude’s car. They figured that out because his homework was in the backseat. It showed that he was failing Social Studies. Walter then takes a bat to what he thinks is Larry’s father’s car, screaming “this is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass, Larry!!” The Cracked picture is suggesting that Larry might have been scared straight after the encounter.

I’m surprised he wasn’t entered into the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers.

14

Ah! #12 - that’s Jesse from “Breaking Bad” in that car. I won’t spoil it for those who haven’t seen it.

15

#19, they’re not just meeting the president. Check the stars on their collars: they’re his top generals.

#15 is from The Sopranos. There’s an episode where they’re trying to bury a Russian mobster who turns out not to be very dead, and vanishes on them. What happened to the Russian was an unresolved plot point for the restof the series. This is suggesting where he went.

16

Ah. That’s cute…

17

Wow. A photoplasty is bad if there are two of them I can’t figure out. This one has about two I could. Stupid. Most of these are SNL jokes of the kind that take twice as long to explain as to tell.
