Personally, I find a death or some kind of apocalyptic event is good to end on.

However, it really depends on the characters involved...

I remember seeing this old Chinese movie and this guy near the end is welcoming back the emperor by giving him back his clothes, which he vigorously washed beforehand. He started his pants long and hard to enjoy the "herbal scent". Then the messenger arrives and this conversation ensues:

Messenger: We have some bad news, the emperor has died.

Guy: Are you sure? What happened?

Messenger: Syphilis.

Then the Guy looks at the pants he was just sniffing and faints.

That's the best kind of cliffhanger right there :)

the best cliffhanger would be to have one of your characters come into a room where the others are and pull a three legged dog out of a basket, with no explanation

It should end with a character hanging... from a cliff.

I like the one's where the guy wearing the mask who had been pestering the heroes from the start is just about to take his mask off. Speaking of which, did Racer X ever take his mask off, 'cuz if he did I didn't see that episode.
