My favourite movie foreshadowing is from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Within the opening narration, it introduces his invention, spray on shoes which he can't remove and wears throughout the whole movie, and also shows a brief shot from the end of the movie, of Flint's looking up from something, as he hangs from the FLDSMDFR. During this shot, the narration says "But when all seemed lost, I stared at defeat, and found hope" and at the end of the movie it is revealed he was staring at his feet, prompting him to stop the machine with his spray on shoes. I stared at defeat -> I stared at da feet... The end was revealed within the first 5 minutes by a pun, lol

Well personally I think this is very ackward foreshadowing but a clever one. If the directors were willing to hide such a ridiculous foreshadowing as to not spoil the ending that's pretty clever indeed. Although this video really got batman the dark knight totally wrong. For one thing while Harvey dents quote was related to his downfall that's not all there is to it. Its more of how Harvey dent actually goes on a downward spiral. Eventually little by little we see that as batman and the Gotham police force. Do thier best within everything within thier power to deter people from trying to pretend to be batman and do things batman won't normally and would downright break his moral code. (using guns and killing people). It certainly does show alot as we see the movie progress one of jokers first points is that at one point. Even if everything they do is to stop crime no one is perfect and would break and not always stick to a code. As most of Gotham police and batman himself have been very active and stopping crime. Eventually everyone will have a grey area that breaks such so called rules and make them no better than those who they try to stop. So as we see he eventually shows joker eventually becomes so much of a threat the only way to stop him was to capture his henchmen who tried to kill Gordon. Although it fails Harvey dent captures one of them although the man he captured was insane. He was willing to do almost anything to get the joker and was willing to kill him after he flipped once. After he failed the guy admits he knew nothing about joker he flipped again to decide his faith. But after batman catches the coin he tells him all about how hes an insane mental patient used by the joker in Arkham asylum and tells dent he will reveal his identity to stop the killings. so if anything happens gotham will have Harvey dent and the gcpd backing him up. In this moment we see how joker is right and dent becomes more dark. But since he was trying to suppress his other at least self proclaimed dark half. Since he was know for having a unique personality its almost like they were two personalities which is his nickname Harvey two face that and his coin with two faces to. In the scene in the dark alley we see that half his face is entirely blacked out showing hes most likely at the edge. But given he still believes in batman he go evil and do what he would never have done so with this scene. We actually reach a climax and see all the things that makes Dent unique and similar to Bruce. But given he also feel into madness after blaming gcpd, himself and batman for Rachel's death its truly tragic. We were looking at the main villain the whole time just developing and eventually after having 1 bad day and losing everything. He was no longer Gothams white knight its also sad and plot irony (regarding Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent). Such similar characters only that dent couldn't handle it. After all the stuff u cant really blame Harvey dent after all he went through although its pretty tragic foreshadowing none the less. Bruce Wayne was the hero but Harvey dent survived and became the villain against the city and hero. He tried to help but at least I am happy at the end of the movie Harvey Dent forgives Bruce Wayne he was truly the hero Gotham deserved but not the one it needed.

I think that the Aliens "foreshadowing" is incorrect because her using the power loader in the beginning merely sets up that she is skilled in operating one. The fact that she uses it later and is good at it is NOT foreshadowing. If there is a movie about somebody that draws and in the beginning they are clearly good at drawing and then in the end they win a drawing competition, that's not foreshadowing that's just probability.

Chizerz The power loader is a Chekhov's gun, not necessarily foreshadowing. Man's red fire is more of a McGuffin than it is foreshadowing. Grant's explanation of how raptors hunt in packs is just simple explanation of animal behavior. It's no more foreshadowing than saying the T-Rex relies on motion to see. Shaun of the Dead, the X's to foreshadow someone's death (or oranges in the Godfather), the clip of Eastwood and even the tying of the female seatbelts are good examples of foreshadowing, but the ones I mentioned seem to be other plot devices more than classic foreshadowing.

Honestly, the whole Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End) are filled with foreshadowing, it's Edgar Wright's signature. In Hot Fuzz, Danny asked a lot of ridiculous action movies question (have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air, etc.) which were all done during the second half of the movie. (Spoilers) In The World's End, the names of the pub basically tells the whole story. • The first pub they go to is The First Post. • The second pub they go to is The Old Familiar which looks identical to The First Post, where they meet Oliver's sister, Sam. • Gary is featured in the banned board in The Famous Cock. • They found out about Gary's lies and then fight the robot teenagers in The Cross Hands. • The see local drug dealer Reverend Green in The Trusted Servant. • The fight the robot twins in The Two-Headed Dog. • The gang is tempted by robot women at The Mermaid. • Gary King slams his head against the wall at The King’s Head. • A car is driven through The Hole In The Wall, which makes an actual hole in the wall. • And the world ends at The World’s End.

Just a thought on the Back to the Future foreshadowing, they say Marty saves his own life by using the Clint Eastwood technique in A Fistfull of Dollars because he's seen the movie himself. However, when he goes back to 1885 in part III and goes under the persona of Clint Eastwood, everyone sees him use this technique against Mad Dog. Did Marty really get the technique from Clint Eastwood? Or did the movie get it from Marty? Paradoxes you see....

Dear WatchMojo.com, You missed the whole scene in The Dark Knight, which was more than just the motto Harvey mutters. Here's what I mean: the ENTIRE DINNER SCENE is foreshadowing to what happens. Harvey refers to the "Protector of Rome", which would become Caesar, a dictator. This suggests a dark side to trying to do right in public service. The ballerina in the dinner scene also holds up a piece of paper to cover HALF of Dent's face (the bottom half, but an allusion nonetheless), suggesting he's Batman. Thank you.
@FrankGamerChannel9 жыл бұрын
Frank Gamer Also worth mentioning, WatchMojo.com, is that Bruce says "one night with my friends and you'll never have to fundraise again." This turns dark when you realize that one night with the Joker and Harvey's life was over. Although, this might be speculation. The paper to the face during dinner was more obvious foreshadowing (or an allusion to his Batman Forever transformation into Two-Face).

awesome420ication No, it's not foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is a very subtle, otherwise unremarkable clue as to what happens later in the plot. As in my example, Ripley using the power loader is more to do with making the plot make sense. If she had randomly jumped in and started using a power loader during the climax, it would've been a plot hole. And so, to ensure the continuity makes sense, they have her use the power loader in a previous scene; providing the audience with the knowledge that she has enough skill to use one and setting up the final confrontation with the Xenomorph Queen.

The Norwegian speaking to the american team untranslated in the film actually saying the dog was a monster before its initial transformation I don't think counts.

What's foreshadow to you then?
@fineapple34354 жыл бұрын
nowonmetube exposition is saying something that will be useful during or throughout the story, foreshadowing is giving clues to events that will happen later in the story so the mans red fire one doesn’t count as foreshadowing, it’s literally like saying a knife will be useful in killing the dark lord but really vaguely( this happens a lot in Disney movies) , and than the main character only gets it in the final battle. It’s more setup /payoff/Chekhov’s Gun than foreshadowing really.

Not really. I was confused about the frames, too, but he tells the whole story while he is with Tyler, up in that tower, waiting for the bombs to go off. The story is not told in the present so that's not relevant.

In Shaun of the Dead Ed says the line "Next time I see him, he's dead" about Pete after they have an argument. Shaun of the Dead is FULL of foreshadowing. and basically has the same half a script repeated twice both before and after the zombie outbreak to make the full movie. Love it!

Does Man of Steel count? I think Pa Kent and Jor-El pretty much foreshadowed the circumstances behind Batman v Superman. "They will stumble, they will fall" "It will change our beliefs, our notions, what it means to be human" "You'll be a god to them" Even the destruction at the end will probably link into BvS.

One of my favorites is in Transformers 3 when at the beginning the small transformer (don't remember his name) watches an episode of Star Trek and says "this is the one where Spock goes nuts", which foreshadows sentinel prime going crazy since he was voiced by Leonard Nimoy aka Spock.

I've seen quite a few of movies and here we go on what I think about the following: 6 - I actually knew this one. How about that! 5 - "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Yes, he becomes the bad-guy as he predicts... But also in The Dark Knight Rises, Batman dies (or at least fakes it) as a hero as he takes the "shot" for Gotham... just like his father in Batman Begins takes the fist shot for his wife. Is your mind blown? On a side note: Two-Face fell but didn't learn to pick himself up. LOL 3 - I got how the raptors behavior was predicted but didn't realize the seat belt thing until now. I'll never unsee it now: two female seat belt connectors. I feel dumber. Ha. 2 - I like how the Dark Side cave (That's what I call it.) where in Luke's vision or whatever he defeats Vader or to see he could become Vader. Now check this out: take what we learned and read this quote from the Emperor in The Jedi Returns: "Good! Your hate has made you powerful. Now, fulfill your destiny and take your father's place at my side!" Wow! Maybe this was the Sith's plan the whole time... or maybe there was more to it but was ended with the Emperor's death. That's a lot of food for thought!

Another use of foreshadowing in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers when Galadriel tells Elrond that "the quest will claim [Frodo's] life" At first it seems like Frodo won't survive the journey to Mordor, but he does. However, the physical and psychological trauma he suffered forever changed his innocent outlook on the world, which left him unable to settle back into his simple life. So, in a way, the quest did claim his life (his old life).

You guys missed out on a MAJOR one from Harry Potter. In the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry goes to return one of Professor Trelawney's crystal balls (it should be noted that she's the weird Divination teacher, aka your average phsycic).When he does, Trelawney is in a trance and starts saying 'He who betrayed his friends shall be (blah blah blah) and he and his master will be reunited once more'. "He" is a whole different story, but his master is Voldemort, the most evil wizard of all time, who was in exile at the time, but comes fully back to life in the next movie. So thanks for leaving out what changed the course of the Harry Potter series, Watchmojo. Really made my day.

The "Star Wars" foreshadowing that always gets me comes in the original 1977 film. Luke's uncle and aunt are having a dinner conversation that foreshadows the dark history of his father, which is revealed in "The Empire Strikes Back." Aunt Beru: Luke can't stay here forever, Owen. He's just not a farmer. He has too much of his father in him. Uncle Owen: That's what I'm afraid of.

Another possible foreshadowing: In the beginning of Saw 2 Amanda is seen lying face down in the middle of the room, mimicking John Kramer's position in the beginning of Saw 1.... And, not to spoil it, but if you know how both Saw 1 and Saw 2 end.... Also in Saw 2 Jigsaw tells Eric (I think that's his name) near the beginning of the film that his son was in a 'safe' place... And at the end it is revealed that he literally wasn't kidding.

There's a great foreshadowing scene in Jaws. When Hooper and Quint are squabbling about Hooper's air tanks as being unnecessary on the boat, Quint says "What's a shark gonna do with those?...maybe eat 'em"...It's in the middle of their argument and so subtle that you think nothing of it. But of course the Shark does end up having one of the tanks in his mouth which Chief Brody shoots with a rifle and blows him up to end the movie. Great stuff. I saw the film a million times before I ever noticed that line.
