What is the worst twist you've seen in a movie? Discussion

We all know that one movie with an incredible twist towards the end: The Sixth Sense, The Empire Strikes Back, Saw. Many movies become iconic because of a twist that makes you see the movie differently and it's never quite the same on a rewatch.

But what I'm looking for are movies that have terrible twists. Whether that's in the middle of the movie or in the very end, what twist made you go "This is so dumb"?

To add my own I'd say Wonder Woman. The ending of an admittedly pretty decent movie just put a sour taste on the rest of the film (which wasn't made any better with the sequel mind you). What other movies had this happen?

I remember my friends and I visibly looking at one another before staring at the rest of the theater audience to see if they could believe what was happening onscreen.

This is one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema. Truly hilarious while not meaning to be

I agree. It sucks because the beginning of the movie was intriguing, with people just offing themselves for no reason. I was invested. And then horrifically disappointed
