A sister thread to Best movie scenes rolling over ending credits. started because the only two scenes that I remember rolling over credits where closing ones.
Bukaroo Banzai with the marching on the aqueduct and The Muppet Movie when Animal yells “GO HOME! GO HOME!”
Hey whattaya know. I found Bukaroo on youtube.
Buckaroo Banzai is pretty good.
I kind of like some of the stuff that Burt Reynolds and Dom Delouise did when outtakes weren’t easy for the average movie goer to see. It kind of devolved at some point where they just poked and giggled at each other.
Most Jackie Chan movies are famous for the outtakes that they play at the end while the credits roll. Typically showing spectacular stunts going wrong and injuring people, just so you know that those are really people really doing those insane things.
Diner. No visuals, just dialog. But everyone stays in the theater to hear it.
Being There. The credits run over the outtakes of a deleted scene. It was clear that the scene was supposed to be in the movie – you can see it being set up, as well as where it was cut out – but evidently Peter Sellers couldn’t do it without cracking up not only himself, but the rest of the cast and crew. It is hilarious.
That should be OPENING credits. I are dum.
How about Wild Things? If you miss the end credits, you miss the most important scenes in the movie.
The dashboard camera footage showing how Farva got suspended at the end of Super Troopers.
The digital camera photos from The Hangover.
And of course the Gold Standard, the “missing” scenes from Wild Things that explained all the earlier plot twists.
Best part of many Jackie Chan films, and that’s not a knock on his movies- the outtakes are often more spectacular than the finished stunts. The extension ladder/grocery cart gag comes to mind, as does the “driving a motorcycle over the sunroof just as a guy falls into it, said motorcycle narrowly missing his crotch” gag that needed some work on the timing… :eek:
Airplane!. The closing credits themselves are funny, and there’s the final of the passenger in the waiting cab saying “Ten more minutes, and that’s it.”
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off also has something to the effect of “The movie’s over! Go home!”
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban did the end credits as the Marauder’s Map. I liked how they did the Map in the movie to begin with, so it was quite fun to see a closer view of it for a few minutes.
I’ve heard this given as a reason Sellers was not given the Oscar for this role. Some people thought that the outtakes took away from his first turn as a “serious actor” by reminding the audience that Sellers was mainly a comedic actor.
I love the animated sequences at the end of Lemony Snicket: A Series of Unfortunate Events (the Thomas Newman score is an added bonus) and Wal-E.
Without a doubt, the British horror movie classic Dead of Night (though it makes no sense unless you’ve seen the entire movie from the beginning).
The anime film Only Yesterday, in which the whole film’s conclusion (one which had me in tears, BTW) actually happens as the credits roll.
I actually cried at the end credits of Wall-E. That little animated sequence with the Peter Gabriel tune is the best part of the movie - and I love the movie.
I liked the gay-dancing-in-Grant-Park scene that, IIRC, ran during the closing credits of The Breakup.
Also, A Bug’s Life had those “outtakes”, which at the time I thought was a very clever idea – outtakes from an animated film!
Flirting With Disaster – wraps up the various characters’ storylines (to Southern Culture On the Skids’ “Camel Walk”) – like Lily Tomlin and Alan Alda having their tantric sex interrupted by their son’s searching their bedroom for a pot stash… and Mary Tyler Moore going down on George Segal, while their infant grandson is in bed with them. (I love the screwball humor and raunchiness of this movie!)
Married to the Mob – Michelle Pfeiffer and Matthew Modine funning around. Very flirty and sexy, those two!
**Bend It Like Beckham **-- bloopers and candid bits of cast and crew relaxing, singing, dancing…
The Night of the Living Dead – the haunting B&W photos, with audio IIRC, depicting the grim mopping-up operations of the morning after, with the tragic final outcome for Duane Jones’ unsung hero.
There’s the closing striptease sequence in Woody Allen’s What’s Up, Tiger Lily? (the credits include an insult to the virility of any male who is reading them instead of watching the stripper).
Not exactly.
