What point in any game/movie/show made you go: "Holy shit."

I'll say almost every scene in The Last of Us. Also the Kessler Reveal in the first inFamous.
Movie wise, All of Pacific Rim. I was going to say a point in Sons of Anarchy....Nah, let's not.

I'm sorry, but this warning is rather...stupid. There is not a single person on this forum who has seen EVERY SINGLE movie or played EVERY SINGLE game. Considering this thread has no set topic like Game of Thrones or the Walking Dead, I think asking people to use spoilers is only a common courtesy. In fact, it should be expected in such an open thread. The only time there is an excuse not to use spoilers is if the thread title itself specifically mentions whatever show, movie, or game is going to be discussed. "THIS THREAD WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS" is not a helpful warning at all. In order for people to avoid spoilers, they first have to know what is about to be spoiled, and in a thread like this they aren't going to know until they read the posts. Which means, spoiler boxes are necessary.Lil_Rimmy said:
First one that came to mind was the end of the Doctor Who episode Day of the Moon - specifically, the way the Doctor defeated the Silence. That was just...well, I won't spoil it. But I was impressed.
(Doctor Who runner-up was the creation of the 'Master Race' in End of Time. There were plenty of "holy shit" moments for me in other things - honestly, I'm not that good at reading plot hints, so twists usually catch me - but at the moment I've just got Who on the mind and nothing else.)

Pacific Rim. Most of it, especially the fight sequences. Two in particular that stand out would be when they bust out the sword, and when what's-his-face uses a goddam oil tanker to beat the living *&^% out of a colossal monster.
The Dark Knight. I'll always remember, I saw it opening night, and I had one of the best seats in the theater. Then the pencil happened. 300+ viewers, all at once, one great big "Holy shit".
Ni No Kuni. The first boss battle. 99% of the battles are against adorable little creatures that, in time, can be made into minions. Then suddenly, giant goddam earth elemental.
Solforge. A card game made me say "holy shit", and not for a good reason. Some creatures are just hugely *&^%ing overpowered. Like, there are strong creatures, and then there's "holy shit, *&^% this game." I know there are ways to defeat these creatures.. provided you have the right card, at the right level, and the game randomly deals you that right card at the right time. It doesn't matter how good your deck is, sometimes the heart of the cards is just not on your side, and you're destined to get shafted.

-The first Bioshock, when you find out who you are and how you've been controlled the whole time (pretty obvious one).
-The Usual Suspects, everyone knows what I mean.
-Planescape: Torment, when you find out who the Transcendent One really is.

I think mandating the use of spoiler tags in this thread would be a good idea.
Some things I don't mind or care getting spoiled, some things I do. But I can't choose because so far almost every spoiler seems to be visible, so I'm not going to bother reading anything except for the disclaimer in the OP, which is a shame, I think.
@Lil_Rimmy
Also, I think you should clarify what exactly you mean by "Holy Shit" moments. Are you talking about shocking plot developments? Incredibly awesome moments? Incredibly sick moments? All of the above?
Anyway, here are some recent moments that I think qualify and I remember from things I've played/watched/read:

(An extremely gory manga, but I love the story and characters
apparently important, long-time support characters get brutally slaughtered;
The main character goes through hell but manages to survive;
(by the way, the story stagnates after volume 21, in my opinion.)

Everyone who played the game should know what I'm talking about.
When they reveal the motive behind the murders.
When they reveal the killer's identity.
Too many great moments to list.
If you watch it, you'll know.
I can't think of anything
at least nothing related to games, movies or shows... But (and I'm not afraid to say this) I read MLP fanfiction, and a few of those made me go HOLY SHIT! without that being a comment of the awful-ness often found within the medium.
Such as in A Bluebirds Song, when the bad guy's plan unfolds, and when you find out about the corrupt guard's true motives...
Oh! I know, the moment in Dishonored when you are poisoned. As I didn't spend that much time at the Pub I did not see that coming.

This about sums it up
Half the season it seemed was building to this moment and I still didn't expect it.
And also the Red Wedding. Not being really big on reading books, I still haven't read the novel because I didn't want to be spoiled and didn't want to care about how the show might diverge from source material, so when the Lannister song started playing, a chill went down my spine.
A big one was American Horror Story Season 1, when they find the cause of the blood fly infestation.

Dishonored when i teleported behind a guy and slit his throat for the first time.
...I think im easily pleased

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots:
Also, the final boss fight was kind of a "holy shit," but more along the lines of "holy shit this is amazing."
When the Gekkos come to life at Shadow Moses. Didn't see them there at all. Scared the fuck out of me.
I'm a sucker for a good opening to a video game, but the ones that actually made me go holy shit are.
Bioshock 1: Seeing Rapture for the first time
Bioshock Infinite: Seeing Columbia for the first time
Mass Effect 2: Walking onto the bridge of the Normandy and seeing the planet, I still stopped and looked at it during my last play-through even though it was the fifth time I was seeing it
The Last of Us: Just the opening, did not expect it to start like that
as for other things
Serenity: I am a leaf on the wind watch how I... (Do I need spoilers for this?)
Dota 2: Any time things go right and the other team wipes.

I'll just list my more recent "Holy Shits":
Game: Metal Gear Rising's final boss... I won't ever bother spoiling it, its a hell of a treat.
Movies: Pacific Rim, and special mention to the Avengers, simply for the fact that every time I watch that third act I think to myself "THEY ACTUALLY MADE THIS MOVIE! HOLY SSSSSSSSSSSHIIIIIIIIIIT!"
Show: I don't watch TV very much. If I have to put anything, I guess the Gravity Fall's season finale.

That moment in Magic Knight Rayearth (The TV series not the OVA's). If you've seen it you know what I mean. If you haven't...well I've said too much already.

When a little cream-colored pony *pranced* up the snout of a gigantic dragon, stared *right* in to an eyeball that was bigger than her whole body and made said giant dragon her *******!
S2
Queen Chrysalis defeating Celestia.
S3
In the episode Sleepless in Ponyville when the Headless Horse appears.
That moment in Keep Calm and Flutter On, for a second I thought it was sooo lame, and then I realized when I realized that I felt just the same as Discord did, and I would do almost anything to *not* have Fluttershy say "Your'e NOT my friend!" to me too. & it became my favorite episode.

"Church, there's no such thing as ghosts You're one of them. You're an AI. You... are the Alpha." Holy Shit, I did not see that one coming. Sure, it makes sense in hindsight, but still, wow
Games:
You know the scene. I'd heard about it, but actually seeing it? Yikes!
Zinyak blows Earth right the fuck up. And all this does is piss the Boss off something fierce...
Shows:
Everypony else has practically abandoned Twilight Sparkle after she crashed her brother's wedding rehearsal, when she was only trying do the right thing. Then Princess Cadence returns and we think we're going to have a sappy reunion... only for the Princess to surround her in a dome of green fire... Well. Looks like someponies are going to owe somepony such an apology!
Mami gets her head bitten off, and what was formerly a your average magical girl anime becomes something else...
Everything Xcell935 said, plus another moment in Rising: when Raiden blocks Ray's tail and "Rules of nature" start playing. It was so sick.Xcell935 said:
Oh, and few others:
1. Final Fantasy X: When party finally got to the church during wedding to save Yuna, and then they slide from the Airship on ropes. And music during this scene? Quite amazing.
2. Bayonetta: When her father send a building towards her and she simply shruged and HEADBUTTED it back.
3. Stephen Kings "It": the scene, when kids decided to "strengthen their bond". But it wasn't "Holy shit, that was awesome!" moment, but rather "Holy shit, did I really read what I just read?" moment.
4. Spec Ops The line: white phosphorus scene.
5. JoJo's Bizarre adventure: First time Jonathan used Sunlight Yellow Overdrive. It was especially good in the anime version.
