* In Doctor Who, Stephen Moffat is regarding as something of a master of the shocking twist (though Your Mileage May Certainly Vary). So when River Song was announced to have killed 'a good man, the best [she'd] ever known' it was thought it was just too obvious for it to be the Doctor. After all, it was the first name which came to everyone's mind the second it was suggested. It just couldn't be true, right? In fact, entire sections of the fandom (across more than one discussion group) dissected the idea. They argued that River Song, knowing and often mentioning the Doctor's flaws, would never call him the best man she'd ever known. They argued that this Doctor had even said why he wasn't truly a good man because 'good men don't need rules'. Meanwhile, Rory (who doesn't need rules) was repeatedly stated to be a good man throughout the series. He showed a habit of dying several times (almost as though the universe were trying to make him...). Then when he turned out to be River's father it seemed guaranteed (and many fans were sitting back quite content with themselves and saying 'I told you so'). After all, who would a daughter be more likely to consider the best man she'd ever known than her father? In the end, she 'killed' the Doctor.

To counter that, the movie keeps constantly introducing new plot elements that may be innocent, or may (to a viewer expecting the twist) be part of a con. The result is that by the end of the movie, a sufficiently paranoid viewer can't be sure how large the actual con was, or who exactly was involved in it.

* ''{{Film/Watchmen}}'' has a fairly interesting case as a byproduct of the adaptation process. Adrian Veidt in the graphic novel is a kind, open-hearted man, the best-adjusted of all the former superheroes. It then turns out that he's ''also'' the mysterious murderer whose slaying of another onetime superhero begins the story, the propelling force behind nearly all the main events of the plot, and to top it all off, he kills millions of people to try to frighten humanity into uniting rather than threatening nuclear war. By the time the film was made, the idea of "the least likely person in the cast turns out to be the antagonist" had become a time-honored trope in itself, so in the film he was rewritten as a cold, aloof, rather sneering man to make him the most obvious choice of villain (and therefore, to a twist-accustomed audience, the ''least'' likely, in a strange way). And then it turns out it was him all along, just as in the book- yet then messes with expectations one last time by having him plainly be way more unsettled by his own decision that UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans than he ever was in the book (down to the point of surrendering himself to a harsh beating at the hands of one of the heroes).
