Films which wouldn't have lasted very long

[Prestwich_Blue]

I have to credit fetlocks with the idea for this.

In Twelve Angry Men, Henry Fonda is the only jury member who doubts the accused's guilt. What if he'd said "Ah fuck it, he's guilty" right at the start of their deliberations.

Or what if James Bond finds the USB stick he'd normally spend the next 2 hours travelling the world looking for on the floor as the baddie flees in the first scene. Or in the opening scene of Dirty Harry, the baddie works out that Eastwood has actually fired six bullets and shoots him.

What other films could be a lot shorter if the opening was different?

In Rocky, the ref stops the fight in the first round as any normal ref would of done.

Well, 99% of films in history have an early plot device which changes the situation for the characters and sets out the rest of the story.

But my favourite would be Toy Story. What if Buzz had never turned up? Woody would maintain control of the other toys and remain happy, but he wouldn't learn a thing about how arrogant he was at the very start of the film.
