[[folder:Marvel Cinematic Universe]]
* A staple of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, stingers are generally used to build up continuity, but are just as often used to simply troll the audience:
** In the first ''Film/IronMan1'' movie, Nick Fury (played by Creator/SamuelLJackson) talks with Tony Stark about the "Avenger Initiative".
** In ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', Tony Stark shows up to discuss with General Ross about a certain team that's getting together. Although it's not after the credits -- just the final scene of the movie. It was originally supposed to be a stinger, but ExecutiveMeddling pushed it forward. The ''Film/TheConsultant'' short shows that this was set up specifically to ''block'' what they were talking about from happening.
** ''Film/IronMan2'' ends with Agent Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. arriving at a massive crater in New Mexico. He calls Nick Fury and says that "We've found it." -- "it" being Film/{{Thor}}'s Hammer.
** ''Film/{{Thor}}'' has Nick Fury showing Dr. Selvig the Tesseract in his possession. Unbeknownst to him is that Selvig is possessed by Loki....
** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' dispensed with the subtlety and showed a trailer for ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', showing all the characters and revealing Loki as one of the main villains.
** ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' has a mid-credits scene revealing TheManBehindTheMan who gave Loki his scepter and the Chitauri army to command is Thanos. And after the full credits, there's a scene showing the team tiredly and quietly eating lunch at a shawarma place Tony suggested.
** ''Film/IronMan3'' has some good comedic competition for ''The Avengers''; the film began with Tony [[FramingDevice narrating]] the events [[LiteraryAgentHypothesis seemingly to the audience]], but the stinger reveals that he's pouring his heart out to [[Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] -- ''who's fallen asleep.'' He wakes up to Tony's exasperation, but Banner just apologetically points out that he's NotThatKindOfDoctor.
** ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' is like ''The Avengers'', in that it has a mid-credits serious scene and a post-credits humorous scene. The mid-credits scene has Volstagg and Sif giving [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy The Collector]] the Aether for safekeeping and revealing that it and the previous movies' Tesseract are [[ComicBook/TheInfinityGauntlet Infinity Stones]], while the post-credits scene has Thor and Jane reuniting on Earth... and the Ice Beast that ended up on Earth during the final fight still loose, chasing pigeons.
** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' also has two separate stingers. The mid-credits scene shows Baron Strucker observing a captive Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, as well as Loki's scepter, setting up ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''. The post-credits scene shows the Winter Soldier visiting the Captain America exhibit at the Smithsonian, implying that his memory is returning.
** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' has just one: a battered Collector sitting in his hideout, getting licked by Cosmo the Spacedog and listening to the chatter of one of his specimens: ComicBook/HowardTheDuck!
** A mid-credits scene in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' has Thanos taking the Infinity Gauntlet and deciding that he'll have to take all of the Infinity Stones himself. It's also the first film since ''The Incredible Hulk'' to ''not'' feature a post-credits scene.
** ''Film/AntMan'' returns to the mid-credits and post-credits model. One scene shows Hope van Dyne getting her own suit and becoming the new Wasp. The other shows Captain America and ComicBook/TheFalcon locating ComicBook/BuckyBarnes, who is stuck to some sort of contraption. Falcon then mentions that he knows a guy (Ant-Man) who could help them out.
** ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'''s mid-credits scene shows [[spoiler: Bucky willingly deciding to be frozen again until a cure is found to free himself from Hydra's mind control program, with T'Challa/Black Panther providing him a much needed safe and secret haven inside his headquarters in Wakanda.]] The post-credits scene shows Peter Parker/Spider-Man in his room, activating a gadget Tony Stark offered him. He is amusingly telling half-lies about "a guy from Brooklyn named Steve and another huge guy" to Aunt May to explain his bruised face. It concludes with a James Bond-esque phrase: "Spider-Man will return".
** The mid-credits scene in ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'' has [[spoiler: Strange agreeing to [[Film/ThorRagnarok help Thor and Loki find Odin]]]]. The post-credits scene shows [[spoiler:Mordo's descent into evil as he steals the magic that Jonathan Pangborn was using to keep walking, as Mordo decides there are "too many sorcerers."]]
** Taken UpToEleven -- [[ExaggeratedTrope Even by MCU standards!]] -- with ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', as the movie has no less than '''five''' scenes during and after the credits (many of these are just throwaway gags, however):
*** Kraglin practices how to use [[spoiler:Yondu's Yaka Arrow, only to accidentally stab Drax in the neck]].
*** In the aftermath of [[spoiler:Yondu's death]], Stakar reassembles his original team, [[spoiler:whom comic fans might recognize as the original Guardians of the Galaxy]].
*** Ayesha is in the process of creating the "next step" in the evolution of her people, and [[spoiler:decides to christen said new creation with the name [[ComicBook/AdamWarlock "Adam"]]]].
*** Groot, [[spoiler:now having grown to be a teenager]], is scolded by Peter for letting his room on the Ravager dropship become filthy, but ignores Peter in favor of playing a video game. It's implied Peter understands Groot's speech now.
*** The Watchers abandon [[spoiler:Creator/StanLee]], leaving him without a way to get back home.
** The mid-credits scene in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' suggests that some of the villains Spidey has stopped so far are interested in teaming up and going after him. The post-credits scene foreshadows [[spoiler:nothing at all. Instead Captain America appears in another educational short like the ones Peter and his classmates watched in school, discussing [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall the importance of patience, and how sometimes, it isn't actually rewarded.]]]]
** The mid-credits scene of ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' sees [[spoiler: the Asgardian refugees headed to Earth on a spaceship. Loki points out it might not be the best idea to bring ''him'' with them, but Thor assures him it'll work out...and then a massive ship, containing Thanos and the Black Order, appears right in their path.]] The post-credits scene has [[spoiler: the Grandmaster trying to take partial credit for the uprising on Sakaar. After all, you can't have an uprising without someone to rise up ''against'', right?]]
** The mid-credits scene of ''Film/BlackPanther2018'' sees [[spoiler: King T'Challa telling the truth about Wakanda to the United Nations, and pledging to share their resources and technology.]] The post-credits scene has [[spoiler: a few Wakandan children awaken a sleeping Bucky Barnes. He's greeted by Shuri as he walks out, who says there's a lot of things they have to do.]]
** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' has a post-credits scene where Nick Fury and Maria Hill are driving and discussing signs that a great battle happened over Wakanda. [[spoiler:Then, due to Thanos using the Infinity Gauntlet to randomly kill half the universe's population, random people start disintegrating, causing cars and helicopters to crash. As the survivors panic, the two attempt to help them, but Maria disintegrates. Nick pulls out a device, but he disintegrates, letting out a "[[CurseCutShort Motherfu-]]" before he goes.

* After the end of the story-based film adapted from Creator/CirqueDuSoleil's ''Theatre/{{Alegria}}'', it returns to a loony (actually director Franco Dragone) standing on a street corner, saying -- in a perfect quote from ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' -- "He said to wait right here; he said he would be back; I'm not leaving."
* At the end of the credits to the film ''Film/{{Aliens}}'', an egg opening and/or facehugger scampering can be heard (it's reportedly different in different releases of the movie).



* ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' has [[spoiler:Dr. Connors in a mental institution, being visited in his cell by a mysterious man who asks if he "told the boy the truth about his father". Connors says no and demands the man leave Peter alone, but he has already left.]]
* ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' has a rare {{crossover}} example advertising a {{dueling movie|s}}, with the post-credits scene being a clip from ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' showing Havok, Mystique, Toad, and a young William Stryker. This was part of a compromise between Creator/{{Sony}} and Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox over some contract disputes involving director Marc Webb.[[note]]Webb owed Fox Searchlight another movie after ''Film/FiveHundredDaysOfSummer''; after a tug-of-war between the two studios over him, Fox allowed him to do ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'' on the sole condition that Sony tosses in a free plug for ''Days of Future Past''.[[/note]] So no, this doesn't mean Sony and Fox have decided to bury their Marvel ScrewedByTheLawyers hatchet away to team up against the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
** ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'' also has a different kind of stinger: Using the Shazam app to identify the movie's credits song brings up a video teasing the Sinister Six lineup.



* The ''Film/AustinPowers'' trilogy of films have all done this, to an extreme in "The Spy Who Shagged Me". Post-credit scenes show Scott Evil on ''Series/TheJerrySpringerShow'' learning who his real mother is, Austin catching another time-displaced version of himself sleeping with Felicity Shagwell, and Wafa Mustafa (played by Creator/WillFerrell) [[OverlyLongGag still yelling for help]] at the bottom of a cliff.



* ''Film/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' features one of the vampires (who'd taken [[OverlyLongGag a long time to die]]) continuing to die at a break in the credits. It also features news interviews with the cast while the credits are running.



* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia: Film/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe'': after the credits, [[spoiler:the wardrobe opens, light shines through it, and a lion's roar can be heard.]] There are ''two'' stingers in that movie. The first one happens in the middle of the credits (right after the principal cast and before the rest of the crew). It was a novel thing at the time, and resulted in many patrons who were in the midst of leaving the theater standing frozen while the extra scene played. The scene was of [[spoiler: Lucy attempting to re-enter Narnia through the wardrobe, only to meet the Professor, who says he didn't think it would work because he's "already tried."]]
* ''Film/{{Cloverfield}}'' has a mildly disappointing example: after sitting through the credits, the audience is treated to a two-second, crackling, indecipherable audio clip that, when played backwards, apparently says [[spoiler:"It's still alive!"]] And it was apparently nothing but FlameBait, since the WordOfGod later stated that [[spoiler:yes, the monster is dead]]. Forwards, it says [[spoiler:"Help us!"]] However, there is another message, by combining both the original and backwards message: [[spoiler:"I don't want to live, help u-]]



* After the credits for ''Film/{{Constantine}}'' end, there's a scene with Constantine visiting Chas Kramer's grave. Chas appears in "[[HalfHumanHybrid halfbreed]]" form (half-angel [[WingedHumanoid with wings]]), then rockets up into the sky.



* In the ''Film/DawnOfTheDead2004'' remake, a last segment is interspersed with the credits, showing (through video camera footage) the surviving main characters [[spoiler:traveling on the boat they escaped to at the end of the film. They find a zombified head gnashing away in a rowboat, struggle with the lack of food, potable water and gas, before finally reaching their island destination. Unfortunately, they take one step onto the shore and are promptly chased back towards their boat by a rampaging horde of the undead.]] This entire segment was belatedly filmed and added to the final print after preview audiences complained about the film's original abrupt ending.



* So far, the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse uses them more sparingly:
** ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}'' has a stinger, [[spoiler: in which Amanda Waller is seen negotiating protection with Bruce Wayne in exchange for the files about metahumans she possesses. She implies that she knows Bruce is Batman, and Bruce tells her to shut down her Task Force X project in return, or else his [[Film/{{Justice League|2017}} friends]] will.]]
** ''Film/WonderWoman2017'' had a stinger added to later releases that was not present in the theatrical release. [[spoiler:Etta Candy recruits Diana's surviving WWI teammates Charlie, Sameer, and Chief to retrieve a device that will later be known as a Mother Box. They ask why they should follow her, and she kicks the ass of an angry bar patron who tried to attack Charlie. Impressed, they agree to follow her.]]
** ''Film/JusticeLeague2017'' has a mid-credits scene and a post-credits scene. The first one is a light-hearted moment involving [[spoiler: the Flash and a resurrected Superman having a friendly race.]] The second is a SequelHook: [[spoiler: Lex Luthor, having escaped prison, approaches Deathstroke with the idea of forming "a league of our own."]]
** ''Film/Aquaman2018'' has a mid-credits scene that shows [[spoiler:David Kane/Black Manta had survived his battle with Aquaman. Some fishermen find him floating on the sea barely conscious and rescue him. While he is recovering from his injuries, Dr. Stephen Shin, a man obsessed with proving Atlantis is real, approaches him and says he knows Kane's equipment is from Atlantis, and asks where it is. Kane says he'll tell him if he helps him find and kill Aquaman.]]
* The end titles for ''Film/{{Demoni}}'' start to roll on the screen, while Cheryl picks at a wound on the back of her neck... {{Subverted}} because the credits disappear, Cheryl turns into a Demon, but is shot and killed before she can harm George. Then the car with George on it disappears from view and the credits finally roll.



* In ''Film/FantasticFourRiseOfTheSilverSurfer'', [[spoiler:the Silver Surfer is seen floating in space after the destruction of Galactus, and suddenly he opens his eyes.]]



* ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' uses it to show us Creator/JohnHughes' [[TrollingCreator troll side]]: first, the film hooks us back into our seats by having one last scene with Ed Rooney all the way through the credits, and then after the IrisOut, it cuts back in to the Buellers' hallway, where Ferris walks in and [[BreakingTheFourthWall tells the audience]] to go home because [[ThatsAllFolks the movie is over]].



* ''Film/{{Idiocracy}}'': [[spoiler:Rita's pimp emerges from a suspended animation capsule to find her]].
* ''Film/{{Inception}}'' has "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" playing towards the end of the credits, telling viewers to 'wake up' from the movie.



* Early ''Film/JamesBond'' movies conclude with "James Bond will return..." up until ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'', when it suddenly became infrequent in the series. Later restored following [[ContinuityReboot the reboot]], however, with ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' confirming Bond 24.



* ''Film/TheLostBoys: The Tribe'' has one part way into the credits. The viewer is shown Edgar Frog, standing in a misty playground at night. Suddenly, out walks Sam Emerson from the first film, once again played by Corey Haim... ''And he's a fricking vampire''. After a brief conversation, the two lunge at each other and the credits resume, with the viewer left to wonder who survives.

to:

* In ''Film/LethalWeapon3'', a post-credit sequence shows Riggs and Murtaugh rushing out to answer another bomb threat, getting there seconds before the bomb goes off, and driving off thinking that they'll be blamed.
* ''Film/TheLostBoys: The Tribe'' has one part way partway into the credits. The viewer is shown Edgar Frog, standing in a misty playground at night. Suddenly, out walks Sam Emerson from the first film, once again played by Corey Haim... ''And he's a fricking vampire''. After a brief conversation, the two lunge at each other and the credits resume, with the viewer left to wonder who survives.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'' showed a trailer for ''Film/TheMatrixRevolutions''.


Added DiffLines:

* Subverted by — what else — ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'', which features no ending credits whatsoever; it cuts abruptly to a black screen and plays repetitive organ music for two minutes and forty seconds. It's an Ingmar Bergman pastiche. What did you expect to happen after they sacked the people responsible for writing the subtitles, those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, and the directors of the firm hired to continue the credits after the other people had been sacked?


Added DiffLines:

* ''Franchise/TheMuppets'':
** According to Wiki/ThatOtherWiki, one of the earliest movies to have a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-credits_scene post-credits scene]] was ''Film/TheMuppetMovie''. During the credits, we see various shots of the Muppets, discussing the movie (starring themselves) that they just watched. TheStinger comes afterwards, [[spoiler:when Animal looks into the camera and shouts "GO HOME!! GO HOME!! Bye bye."]]
** ''Film/TheGreatMuppetCaper'', which had everyone parachuting out of an airplane at the end, after the credits has Gonzo drop back in, yell for everyone not to go home yet, and takes a picture of the audience-then at the camera flash the screen goes black before he tells the audience he'll send them each their copy.
** ''Film/MuppetsMostWanted'' simply has Fozzie telling the audience to go home because the movie's over.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''. Yes, all of them. The [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl first film]] has a sequel hook [[spoiler:involving the monkey re-cursing itself, thus allowing the plot of the following movies]], but the one in [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd the third]] technically resolves a plot point by showing us [[spoiler:a WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue concerning Elizabeth and Will, and their now ten year-old son, after he's freed from captaining the Flying Dutchman]]. ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides On Stranger Tides]]'', has a stinger which shows [[spoiler:Angelica after Jack deserted her on a island, finding the Jack voodoo doll after it washes up on shore]]. ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales Dead Men Tell No Tales]]'',[[spoiler: Will and Elizabeth lying in bed. While Will struggles to sleep, the door creaks open, and the shadowed figure of Davy Jones enters the room. When Will wakes up from his nightmare, he goes back to sleep, before the camera pans to several barnacles lying in a puddle of seawater under the bed]].

* While post-credits scenes have become heavily associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' (made by Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox rather than Creator/MarvelStudios) that first made the stinger into a staple of superhero movies and especially those based on Marvel products:
** ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'': Professor X transfers his mind into the man with the coma...
** ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' had, depending on your screening, either a now-amnesiac Logan in a bar, "drinking to remember" or the [[LosingYourHead living disembodied head]] of ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, having gained his mouth back and his MediumAwareness as well. There was also General Stryker getting arrested, but everyone got that one.
** ''Film/TheWolverine'': Two years later, Magneto is shown to have regained his mutant power and Xavier is revealed to be alive. They both meet with Logan at an airport and ask him to join them [[SequelHook fighting the new weapon that the humans have created to destroy the mutants.]]
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': En Sabah Nur uses his MindOverMatter powers to build a pyramid in Ancient Egypt while his Four Horsemen are seen in the background.
** ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'': The after-credits scene is where [[MediumAwareness Deadpool tells the people in the audience to go home, since the show's over]] (while dressed as [[Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff Ferris Bueller]] to make sure the ShoutOut is clear). However, he later relents, and uses the time left in the movie to mention that the sequel will bring [[spoiler:Cable]] into the mix.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': [[spoiler:It involves the abandoned Alkali Lake facility being raided by Essex Corp. If you don't understand the significance, the X-Men villain Mr. Sinister's name is Nathaniel Essex. The genetic info about Wolverine may be used to create X-23.]]
** ''{{Film/Logan}}'': [[spoiler: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. A small scene featuring Deadpool is shown before the credits.]]
** ''Film/Deadpool2'': A mid-credits scene where [[spoiler:Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio manage to repair Cable's time travel device and give it to Deadpool. He uses it to undo Peter and Vanessa's deaths. Then he travels to the final battle of ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' and kills that version of Deadpool. Then he murders Creator/RyanReynolds before he can accept his role in ''Film/GreenLantern''.]]

* If you watch a little ways into the credits for ''Film/{{Adventureland}}'', you'll get to see a TV commercial for the titular park.
* ''Film/AdventuresInBabysitting'' has a scene with one of the villains still trapped on the top of a building where the heroes left him.
* There is a BrickJoke in the stinger for ''Film/TheAdventuresOfPriscillaQueenOfTheDesert''. Earlier in the film, the characters experiment with turning a blow-up doll into a kite, only to have its line snap and the doll fly away. After the closing credits, we then see a peaceful-looking Zen monastery, with a Buddhist monk sitting in meditation on his patio -- until the blow-up doll flies down and lands on his head.
* The 2007 ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' ended with the BigBad Ian Hawke jobless and penniless, trying to recapture the success he had with the Chipmunks by trying to get other animals such as squirrels to sing.

* ''Film/{{Bean}}'': The end-credits scene has Mr. Bean passing by, [[BreakingTheFourthWall telling the audience that just like them, he also stays until the credits finish]]. He then walks off-screen to the right and comes back, stating that it's now the end of the movie, and tells them to leave whenever they want to. When he leaves again, he goes back the other way, as this was where he was initially.
* Creator/RonHoward's documentary ''Music/TheBeatles: Eight Days a Week'' features one that's a ''half-hour'' long: the 4K restoration of [[ConcertFilm their famous Shea Stadium concert from 1965]]!
* An unusual example of this trope being used in a documentary: at the very end of ''Believe'', a documentary covering the career of actor/comedian Creator/EddieIzzard, we see a photo of Eddie during his Sport Relief fund-raising campaign where he [[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/6195634/Eddie-Izzard-completes-43-marathons-in-51-days.html ran 43 marathons over 2 months]], which he had completed just before the documentary was released in theaters.
* ''Film/BigAssSpider'' cuts to a clip which reveals that [[spoiler:a giant cockroach is attacking the Statue of Liberty.]]
* ''Film/ButImACheerleader'' has a PetTheDog moment where the main character's father is shown speaking at a PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) meeting. Her mother is in the audience wearing sunglasses, a scarf and a hat.

* ''Film/DisturbingBehavior''. One of the "Blue Ribbons" is now a student-teacher in an inner city high school.
* ''Film/DraculaDeadAndLovingIt'' ends with Dracula's voice being heard after the end credits, revealing that he is still alive AND has now won the little "who gets the last word" game over Van Helsing.
* After Goku defeats King Piccolo near the end of ''Film/DragonballEvolution'', Roshi is revived, and Goku and Chi-Chi have a practice match, the credits play, and afterwards [[spoiler:King Piccolo is shown being tended to]] by a woman.
* Some outtakes play during the credits of ''Film/TheDuff''.

* ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'': The series has intermittently used post-credit scenes throughout the various films:
** The original film had a post-credit shot of Dom driving a Chevrolet Chevelle through Baja, Mexico, eventually ending with him RidingIntoTheSunset.
** Midway through the end credits of ''Fast & Furious'', the gang is shown racing towards the bus that is taking Dom and other convicts to prison, intending to break him out.
** ''Fast Five:'' Hobbes is working in his office when [[TheBusCameBack Agent Fuentes]] arrives and tells him she has some information for him. Though he tells her he doesn't want to hear about it if there's nothing about Dom, she counters that he should be very interested. She then asks him if he believes in ghosts, and reveals that [[spoiler:Letty is still alive]].
** ''Fast Six:'' [[spoiler:Han's death (in ''Tokyo Drift'') is reshown in a different context. It wasn't a mere random car accident (as was thought in ''Tokyo Drift''), but a deliberate hit-and-run crash by the villain Ian Shaw's brother, Deckard, looking for revenge against Dom]].
** ''The Fate of the Furious'' narrowly avoided this. There were plans to include a post-credit scene of [[spoiler:Hobbs and Shaw cracking jokes at each other]], but this was pulled just prior to release for unknown reasons.
* At the end of the 1980 ''Film/{{Flash Gordon|1980}}'' movie, Ming the Merciless has died, the day has been saved, and all is well. The words 'The End' appear, but a sinister laugh is heard as a familiar hand picks up the ring, and a question mark appears after the words...

* ''Film/GhostWorld'': After all the credits roll, there's another take of the scene where Seymour (Steve Buscemi) gets attacked by Doug in the minimart. Only this time, Buscemi's character easily wins the fight, choking Doug with his own weapon, and stomps out triumphantly. He finishes with a bunch of Mr. Pink type dialogue.
* The two movies of the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' series' Kiryu Saga both feature them: ''Film/GodzillaAgainstMechagodzilla'' has a small scene of robot pilot Akane agreeing to go out to dinner with roboticist Tokumitsu in light of a bet they made earlier in the film, while ''Film/GodzillaTokyoSOS'' features a more chilling scene of a DNA lab where a sample of the original Godzilla's DNA zooms out to reveal samples from every single monster that's attacked before in that timeline.
* ''Film/TheGrey'': The film ends with Ottway surrounded by wolves and getting ready for the big showdown with the alpha wolf, a knife in one hand and broken liquor bottles taped to the other. TheStinger reveals [[spoiler: the wolf lying on the ground, mortally wounded (in a callback to a wolf breathing heavily similarly earlier in the film), and Ottway's head -- only seen from the back -- resting on the wolf.

* At the end of ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets'' (originally following the credits, but after the theatrical release moved to preceding them), we see a new book in the window of the Flourish and Blotts' bookstore, by Gilderoy Lockhart (who [[spoiler: had his memory accidentally erased earlier when his own spell backfired]]), entitled [[spoiler: "Who Am I?"]]
* ''Film/{{Hellboy}}'': During the closing credits there's a brief shot of Dr. Manning still trying to contact someone on his team and getting nothing in response. A shadow of a Sammael passes in the background as the scene fades back to credits.
* ''Film/HocusPocus'' ends with the adults leaving the Town Hall Halloween party, Jay and Ernie still trapped in their cages, and the spell book opening its eye and looking around.
* ''Film/HoldingTheMan'' includes an excerpt of interview with the real Timothy Conigrave, author of the memoir [[TheFilmOfTheBook the movie is inspired from]] telling that the only thing he had to live for is writing a stage play and the memoir, the latter of which he finished 10 days before he died.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:K]]
* ''Series/KamenRiderDouble Forever'' -- after Philip and Shotaro take out the movie's exclusive villain, the credits role. After that, we see Shroud in a dimly-lit bathroom, putting the finishing touches on her BandagedFace disguise, reminding everyone that the main plot hasn't finished yet.
* Delightfully subverted in the SciFi Original ''Kaw'', where the reveal that the killer birds aren't dead comes immediately before the credits (they attack the hero as he walks into his bedroom).
* ''Film/KillBill Vol. 1'' plays a two second outtake of The Bride plucking out an eye. The director yells "cut" and Uma looks at the camera, grinning and asks if they can do it again.
* The live-action adaptation of ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'' has three clips during the credits and one after, the final stinger involving [[spoiler: Sawako holding two planetarium tickets as replacements to the ones Kazehaya threw away. It ends with the two of them happily heading off on a date together.]]

* ''Film/KPax'' ends the credits with a scene of Dr. Powell looking at the constellation Lyra through his backyard telescope, wondering...

* Creator/RomanPolanski's adaptation of Shakespeare's ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'' has Donalbain seeking out the witches, implying that the events that just transpired, for all their bloodshed and destruction, were ultimately meaningless and the same thing will just happen again.
* ''Film/TheMasterOfDisguise'' puts this trope UpToEleven following the credits filled with outtakes and deleted scenes with a lengthy scene with Pistachio finding out a midget was inside the slapping dummy.
* In the ''Film/MastersOfTheUniverse'' film adaptation, [[StayingAlive Skeletor's head is shown popping out of some strange pool of pink liquid and shouting "I'll be back!"]]. Given that there was no sequel and WordOfGod says that Skeletor fell to his death, it's not quite clear why they put that in.
** They ''were'' trying to make a sequel, but Cannon (which was planning to make the sequel and a ''Spider-Man'' movie back-to-back) ran out of cash and lost the license, forcing them to cannibalize the existing stuff; the movie that resulted was ''Film/{{Cyborg 1989}}''.
* ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'' has one during the credits. With Ivan Ooze destroyed and Rita and Zedd last seen trapped in a snowglobe, Goldar proclaims himself the new BigBad, with Mordant cheering him on. Cue Rita and Zedd, now back to full size, marching in.
-->'''Goldar / Mordant:''' Uh-oh...

* During the end credits of ''Film/RockNRolla'' the full scene of One Two dancing with Handsome Bob at the gay bar is shown.
* ''Film/TheRunningMan''. At the end of the credits, the title game show's announcer does a voiceover like those of RealLife game shows.
-->''"The Running Man has been brought to you by; Break-away para-military uniforms, Orgofura procreation pills, and Cadre Cola -- it hits the spot! Promotional consideration paid for by; Kiltem flame-throwers, Dwainsright electrical launchers, and Hammer and Gauge chainsaws. Damon Killian's wardrobe by Shea Zantwan -- nineteenth century craftsmanship for the twenty-first century man. Cadre trooper and studio guard side arms provided by Goldchester -- the pistol of patriots. Remember, tickets for ICS studio tours are always available for class A citizens in good standing. If you'd like to be a contestant on The Running Man, send a self addressed, stamped envelope to ICS Talent Hunt care of your local affiliate, and then go out and do something really despicable. I'm Phil Hilton. Good night and take care."''

* In ''Film/TheSmurfs2'', after Gargamel and Azrael return to the medieval Europe past, the two of them get into a fight with each other because Azrael no longer has the luxuries he was used to in present-day Paris. And of course, Gargamel used his magic to drag Azrael back with him to the past.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** The credits of ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' involve [[{{Leitmotif}} Anakin's theme]], which occasionally hints at the Imperial March, and end with a bit of VaderBreath.
** There was supposed to be a similar ending to the credits of ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', with the Imperial March playing simultaneously with Anakin and Padmé's love theme, but it was cut. It still appears on the soundtrack.
* In ''Film/{{Stealth}}'', the AI that went haywire, killed people, and blew stuff up performs a HeroicSacrifice in the end to save the hero and [[RedemptionEqualsDeath redeems itself]]. After the credits, the AI lights up again amongst the rubble. Presumably this was a set up for a sequel, but the film's poor grossing put a halt on that.
* In ''Film/StreetFighter'', M. Bison is alive (too bad Creator/RaulJulia isn't).
* ''Film/SuperMarioBros'' has a scene where a pair of Japanese businessmen make an offer to an unseen person to produce a video game based on their adventures. The camera pans to Iggy and Spike, who suggest the title, "Super Koopa Cousins".
* ''Film/TheSwordAndTheSorcerer'' promised Talon would be back in ''Film/TalesOfTheAncientEmpire''. Amazingly enough, 26 years later, apparently [[http://www.dreadcentral.com/tales-ancient-empire he will be!]]
