Nevertheless, Norman defends her when Marion suggests that their relationship might be toxic. Norman explains that his mother is \u201cas harmless as one of those stuffed birds.\u201d The line foreshadows the film\u2019s twist when it is revealed that Norman\u00a0killed and taxidermied his mother.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. <em>TOTAL RECALL<\/em> (1990)<br \/>\n<\/strong>Paul Verhoeven\u2019s 1990 science fiction film <em>Total Recall<\/em> is full of clever clues that keep audiences guessing as to whether Doug Quaid\u2019s (Arnold Schwarzenegger) adventure as a secret agent on Mars was real or merely a memory implanted into his brain. One of the biggest hints comes at the beginning of the film, when Quaid visits Rekall and one of the engineers tells him that he will experience \u201cblue skies on Mars.\u201d At the end of <em>Total Recall<\/em>, the Red Planet is terraformed and there is now a blue sky on Mars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5. <em>RESERVOIR DOGS<\/em> (1992)<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"color: var(--text-color); font-family: var(--text-font); font-size: 1.0625rem;\">Quentin Tarantino\u2019s <\/span><em style=\"color: var(--text-color); font-family: var(--text-font); font-size: 1.0625rem;\">Reservoir Dogs<\/em><span style=\"color: var(--text-color); font-family: var(--text-font); font-size: 1.0625rem;\"> follows a small group of criminals brought together to pull off a diamond heist. But when the police show up in the midst of the job, it\u2019s clear that one of the men is an informant. The criminals are unknown to each other and are only referred to by colorful aliases (i.e. Mr. White). However, if you pay close attention to the opening scene, you can figure out that Mr. Orange (Tim Roth) is the police informant who set up the rest of the gang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the breakfast scene, when Joe (Lawrence Tierney) leaves the table to pay the bill, everyone contributes a dollar for the waitress\u2019 tip\u2014everyone except for Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), who refuses to tip based on principle. When Joe comes back to the table, he notices that the tip is short and asks who didn\u2019t contribute.
