Jul 20 2009In 1987, Man Discovered the Strangest Way to End a Film, and This Is It
Student Confidential should be classified alongside Planet of the Apes, The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects, and other films known for their shocking surprise endings, because there are no possible scenarios that could have occurred in this movie that would have resulted in this ending being either expected or in any way acceptable.
My friend Chris best explained the scene: "They were both trying to convey something wordlessly, but whatever that was would change second to second."

I expect to see MANY youtube mockery's of this within the next few days. You have your meme people - start working (and holding hands, and smiling)!

I...I'm not...huh?

For anyone that has Netflix - this is on the instant play. The one upside is probably that it has a whole bunch of 80's boobies.

Ah, such a heartfelt cathartic release!
The brilliant acting and subtle emotional cues convey a powerful sense of character and tension. I was on the verge of tears during the whole scene.

I feel that 1:42 of my life was wasted, and it makes me depressed that I will never get it back. Shit.

Note: it gets a little stinky.

i dont know what you are talking about that single tear was executed flawlessly, besides did you hear that drum line through the credits? thats how you end a movie
20. AtomicCoffee - July 21, 2009 12:33 PM
Hmm, you don't see classic "gimme ten(s)" anymore.
'Course, I never held hands after "slippin'" somebody "some skin" either.
The '80s were a lot gayer than I remember.
21. Vitero - July 22, 2009 2:08 PM
That was as painful as watching Superman Returns
22. Species 8472 - July 22, 2009 2:28 PM
Huh. It's apparently THE Marlon Jackson. He should be 30 yrs old there.
Hard to find info about it, like Angelina Jolies classic with Jack Palance, "Cyborg 2". It barely exists.

If this was a comedy it would be very subtle for Troma.

nice, there are definitely "prostitutes" in the movie, and they are talking about business...i need to see this film...
24. Honeybee - July 23, 2009 12:31 AM
i noticed that too, there's 'prostitutes' and 'hoodlums'.

The homoerotic tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife

27. Crappola - July 23, 2009 9:06 PM
If you like this one... check Pat Morita's cheesy ending as well.
28. hellbilly3000 - July 24, 2009 5:56 PM

I dunno, it's hard to tell out of context. Maybe this is the greatest ending ever.
