If you watch the Original Star Wars backwards, you get a story about a guy who retires from fighting with space ships and light swords to go live in the desert.

If you play "Requiem for a Dream" backwards, you get a heartwarming story about four people who beat their harrowing drug addictions and go on to lead happy, fulfilling lives.

If you play "Rambo" backwards you get a story of a man who uses his vacuum gun to miraculously pull bullets out of people and heal them.

If you play "Back to the future" backwards you get the story of Marty McFly as he's sucked backwards through a vortex into 1955. He then proceeds to single handidly screw up his entire family's history until every life he touches is destroyed.



I didn't make these up, the credit goes to the brilliant minds over at Straight dope! Anyone have some good ideas?

On a separate note, de-lurking feels good! This is a great place and I think I'm going to like it here

Welcome to the forum!

If you play Shawshank Redemption backwards, you get the story of a man who spends 20 years slowly filling in an escape tunnel out of his prison cell, until he is eventually released because his wife isn't dead anymore. 😀

Also, if you play Raiders of the Lost Ark backwards you get the story of how Indiana Jones took the Ark of the Covenant out of an enormous warehouse and buried it in the lost city of Tanis where it belonged 😀

And if you play X-Men backwards you get the story of how an elite mutant fighting force disbanded and decided to live their lives as outcasts and drifters instead.

This is fun, but if I don't go to sleep now I'll be at this all night...😛

Hah! I like you already, man! Congrats on delurking. 😀

Also, if you play a tickling video backwards you get... uh, a tickling video, I guess... (I never claimed to be good at this!)

If you play "American History X" backwards, you get a regular guy who's brother is brought back to life by a Black man using a vacuum gun. He is so grateful he joins a neo-nazi gang. Being raped in prison by a bunch of neo-nazis only makes him even more of a neo-nazi.

Ironic huh?

If you play "Braveheart" backwards, you get the story of a man who was cut into pieces, and then miraculously reassembled to separate warring English and Scottish Clans. In the process, he removes any semblance of honor from Robert the Bruce (who returns home to live with his leperous father), and Wallace returns peacefully to Scotland to relive his childhood days, throwing rocks with his friend.

If you play Jaws backward, you get the story of how Roy Scheider magically reassembles a great white shark, which then fixes their boat and regurgitates Robert Shaw and all their friends from the beach. Then it swims off into the deep. 😀

If you play the Passion of the Christ backwards, you get the story of Jesus of Nazareth who comes down from a cross, gets tortured ,pisses off alot of Jews and confuses a Roman proculator by proclaiming to be the Son of God, but then invents the first table and chair and decides to become a Carpenter.

If you play Memento backwards, you get a forward moving timeline of a man with no short term memory who kills people and gets used by others.

If you play The Dark Knight backwards, you see the Joker bungee jump from a building, the law-abiding citizens and convicts of Gotham enter the city with separate ferries, Batman and a swat team tie up some hostages for the Joker, Two-Face gets his face back by causing the amazing re-assembly of a burning building, the Joker uses his vacuum gun to heal a few people and fix some cars, Batman and Rachel leap from the street all the way into his penthouse apartment to a party the Joker is holding there, Batman drops out of a plane to put that Chinese banker guy into his corporate building, and at the end, Joker drives up to a large hole on the side of bank with a schoolbus full of money which he puts in the vault and heals a few people with a vacuum gun before leaving.

Roflness! Awesome work folks, keep em coming!

If you play "Finding Nemo" backwards you get a clownfish who hates his son so much he ditches him to get caught by a dentist. He then proceeds to swim across several continents to get away from his son. His son eventually finds him though. But then some scary looking fish regurgitates the rest of his family, so he swims off with his wife to get away from all of his other kids. Talk about child abandonment issues!
