I was watching a film yesterday (went in blind) and during the opening credits I saw something along the lines of “Special effects artist for the Creature”. I had no idea the movie was going to have a creature in it before reading that, so when it was eventually revealed later in the film I was kinda annoyed that I knew it was coming. Would have been pretty cool to have it sprung on me out of the blue, because there were no hints during the preceding part of the film that anything supernatural or weird was happening.

It got me thinking about what other films contain spoilers in the opening credits. Do you have any other examples?

    It’s been a long time since I watched the theatrical cut of Dark City but IIRC, there’s a narration by Keither Sutherland that explains a lot of the premise.

    I think it’s better in the director’s cut which removes this and you discover the story as you watch the film.

      I actually saw the theatrical release when it was in theaters but was like a minute late walking in and luckily missed that part, so it didn’t get spoiled for me. Watching the movie though and knowing I was late, I kept thinking I had missed something crucial, but guess it worked out well.
