Movies that “go from 0-100” in the last 15 or so minutes? (dormi.zone)

Do you have examples of movies that have a huge spike in stakes almost at the end?

Examples: Se7en, Rogue One

Please use spoilers if you want to explain why

The Sound of Music, surprisingly. The first like 90% of the movie is them singing and frolicking through fields, then it ends with them being chased by nazis. It's such a radical shift in tone.

Really???? I only had the first VHS in the two tapes set, so I've never seen the second half. I thought it was just an upbeat musical.

There are a few hints at the Nazis early on and throughout, but yeah. The last 15-20 minutes are car chases, tense hiding scene, and a standoff. Nothing like the movie up to that point.

I assume it's probably meant to be like how it happened in people's actual lives. Rumors of Nazis, things happening, and then suddenly they are there and your life has been completely upended.

Fuck Rolf!

Well Liesl was definitely down. At least in the first act. But yeah, Rolf brought some serious intensity to the ending scene.
