Shitty Movie Details

Share your favorite movie (and other motion picture media) details, potentially with a shitty twist.
To be clear, this is a place for satirical and meta^2^ references. Not really the actual movie details, unless they're truly stupid or have strong meme potential/background. "Oh hai Mark" kind of stuff. Tho sometimes even these can span a good debate.
For maximum funni, include full name of the movie, its release date and all the detail right in the title of the post.
Try to avoid actual shit and other nasty stuff. Mark nsfw when appropriate.
For shitty videogame details, there's !shittygamedetails@lemmy.world
Regular rules of lemmy.world apply. Have fun.

While there IS a movie called "The Fog", The Mist is based on a Stephen King story by the same name. He probably didn't go with fog because of another book being published relatively recently (at the time in 1980) called "The Fog"
The Mist is a short story from King's book Skeleton Crew. While I have seen the movie I preferred the written version better.
I have a poster from this movie in my apartment.
Originally it was published in 1980 as part of an anthology, but it was included in his Skeleton Crew collection in '85.
I do like the book more for the most part, but I 100% agree with King that the movie ending is better. Stephen King has never been as good at endings as he is with the rest of the story.
Thank you!!
