This is a list of cliffhanger endings .

Examples of films with cliffhanger endings

  • The original Japanese film, Gojira (1954) ends with Dr. Yamane saying that he doubted there was only one Godzilla creature, and that if mankind wasn't more careful with its use of nuclear weapons, other monsters would undoubtedly come and wreak havoc. (To soften the general message, this was removed in the heavily re-edited American version, Godzilla, King of the Monsters! .) This is shown to be true when another Godzilla does return in Godzilla Raids Again (1955).
  • While Godzilla vs. Monster Zero (1965) does end on a happy note, Godzilla and Rodan are not proven to have survived until subsequent films, Ghidorah does not die in the end (instead flying out to space), and the Xilians appear to survive (although they do not make another appearance in the series, unless the alternate versions from Godzilla: Final Wars are counted).
  • Son of Godzilla (1967) ends with Godzilla and Minilla being frozen in a nuclear winter.
  • Gigan and Ghidorah both survive the events of Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972).
  • Gigan also doesn't die in Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973). (His death is shown in the TV series Zone Fighter , but the canonicity of this is disputed.)
  • In Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974), the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens are not completely destroyed, and so are able to return for Terror of Mechagodzilla .
  • The ending of The Return of Godzilla (1984) is not clear about if Godzilla dies or not, instead leaving the audience after he is lured into an active volcano.
  • Because Godzilla is still perceived as a villain at this point in the Heisei series, the ending of Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989), in which Godzilla is not killed by the Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria, but shakes it off and goes back to the sea, counts as a cliffhanger.
  • The same is true for Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991), where the last scene shows Godzilla awakening underwater and angrily thrashing about and spouting his atomic ray, and, by extension, Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992) (not to be confused with the 1962 film Mothra vs. Godzilla) and perhaps also Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993).
  • The characters say in the ending of Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994) that another, possibly worse monster than SpaceGodzilla might show itself again one day unless man did something about it, slightly like the original film (though with a much less somber tone).
  • In Godzilla vs. Destoroyah , after Godzilla melts down, all of his radiation is absorbed by Godzilla's son. As the smoke clears, it is revealed that Godzilla Jr. has grown into an adult Godzilla.
  • After the ending credits of Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000), in which it is said near the end that Godzilla may not have been killed by the Dimension Tide black hole gun after all but instead simply transported underneath Tokyo, the child character featured in the film ("Kenny," unofficially) is putting away something in the science lab. As he is walking out, the ground starts to shake, he looks out in horror at something out the window the audience cannot see, and Godzilla's roar is heard.
  • In the end of Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001), Godzilla's heart is shown still beating at the bottom of Tokyo Bay, indicating that it is still alive and in the process of regenerating a new body.
  • Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002) ends in a draw, with Godzilla heading out to sea, grievously injured, Kiryu badly damaged and unable to fight, and Akane swearing that the next time they meet, Godzilla will be defeated.
  • After the ending credits of Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. (2003), a secret lab is shown that has samples of kaiju DNA, indicating that new monsters, a Godzilla or not, might still surface.
  • At the end Godzilla: Final Wars (2004), Godzilla roars at the humans possibly noting a return in the future.
  • In the first film, just when Marty reunites with Jennifer, Doc arrives from 2015 and tells Marty that there is a problem with his future son. They then get in the De Lorean, which Doc flies off.
  • In the second film, Marty receives a letter from Doc, who is stuck 70 years in the past. He then goes and sees Doc from the first film send him back in time.

Examples of television series with regular (or notable) cliffhangers

Of course, cliffhangers are the main "hook" of soap operas (both daytime and nighttime). Other genres also use them as well, as can be seen here.

  • Season 1 : Angel's deceased vampire sire (and lover) is resurrected
  • Season 2 : Angel, Cordelia, and Wesley discover that Buffy sacrificed herself to save the world.
  • Season 3 : Angel is imprisoned in a steel box by his son Connor, and dropped to the bottom of the ocean to live forever confined and alone. Meanwhile Cordelia is told she has become a higher being, and ascends to higher plane. Wesley begins an affair with Lilah Morgan, and Lorne leaves Los Angeles to spark a career in Las Vegas.
  • Season 4 : Angel and the team take over Wolfram and Hart. Angel also makes a deal with the senior partners that Connor be given a new life, and is erased from everybody's minds. Cordelia is left in a coma, on the edge of death.
  • Season 5 : Angel, Spike, Gunn, and Illyria are the last team members to take on the Circle of the Black Thorn. The Senior Partners sends an army to destroy them, and the audience is left unclear whether the characters will survive.
  • Season 1 : After saving the Northern Water Tribe, Aang, Katara & Sokka continue their quest to stop the Fire Lord & restore balance to the World. Meanwhile Fire Lord Ozai tells Zuko's sister that his brother has failed & Iroh has betrayed the Fire Nation & orders her to arrest them.
  • Season 2 : Azula and the Dai Li stage a coup and all five major generals are captured at once. Aang is unable to stop Azula's plan and the Earth Kingdom falls to the Fire Nation. Aang is critically injured by Azula in battle, and Iroh gives him time to escape before being betrayed by Zuko. At the end of the episode, Aang and the gang escape on Appa, where Katara heals Aang using water from the Spirit Oasis. As the Gang fly atop Appa's back over the Outer Wall and out of the city, the Earth King looks back and sadly proclaims, "The Earth Kingdom... has fallen."
  • Season 3 : In the final moments of the series, Zuko, now the new Fire Lord, visits his father's prison cell and demands him to reveal the whereabouts of his mother. But Ozai's answer is never revealed.
  • Miniseries : ends revealing that Sharon "Boomer" Valerii, one of the most important of Galactica's pilots, is in fact a Cylon.
  • Season 1 : ends with Valerii shooting Commander Adama twice in the chest.
  • Season 2 : breaks halfway through on a cliffhanger: the initial elation of both battlestar crews upon meeting each other has totally broken down, and Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus have launched their Vipers against each other. Even the "resolution" of this cliffhanger is itself a cliffhanger, as the next episode ("Resurrection Ship (Part 1)") ends as Adama and Admiral Caine each ask a trusted lieutenant to kill the other. The season ends with the planet of New Caprica being suddenly occupied by the Cylons in force, and Kara "Starbuck" Thrace promising to "fight 'em 'til we can't."
  • Season 3 : Midway through the season, "The Eye of Jupiter" ends with Starbuck shot down by Cylon Centurions and Adama about to launch nuclear weapons at a planet where a clue to the location of Earth is hidden. Later, the season ends with four characters discovering they are Cylons (Samuel Anders, Galen Tyrol, Saul Tigh and Tory Foster), and Starbuck returning in a pristine, brand-new Viper after her apparent death in a previous episode.
  • Season 1 : The season ends with Erica getting a new therapist after her first one mysteriously vanished.
  • Season 3 : The finale ended with the sisters separated and two of them dying, with no way of them being healed. This gives way to Season 4, with the introduction of the character Paige Matthews following the departure of Shannen Doherty as Prue.
  • Season 1 : End's with a Mexican Standoff between 3 main characters and ends by cutting to black with the sound of a single gunshot.
  • Season 4 : ended with Lily Rush in the hospital after being shot.
  • Season 7 : ended with CSI Sara Sidle trapped under a car by the miniature killer.
  • Season 8 : ended with CSI Warrick Brown being shot twice by the Undersheriff while sitting in his car.
  • Season 4 : ended with CSIs Horatio Caine and Eric Delko going to Brazil to hunt down Antonio Riaz who ordered a hit on Marisol Delko-Caine.
  • Season 6 : ended with CSI Horatio Caine shot in the chest.
  • Season 7 : ended with CSI Eric Delko missing in action.
  • Season 4 : ended with CSI Mac Taylor was being held hostage.
  • Season 5 : ended with shots fired in a bar with the C
