   Film Credits.
  At the end of a film, when the credits roll, or even before they begin to roll, the audience bolts for the door.  What if at the end of a movie, there was a wild music video of some sort.  Jackie Chan shows outtakes and failed stunts during his credits, but how about something better than that?  Imagine, when the credits start to roll, some loud, insane, energizing music just blasts on.  Then you see video clips and pictures of the cast and crew having misc. fun on the set, deleted scenes, other stunts performed just for the hell of it, and other exciting stuff to fit the music.  How about an elaborate fight scene during the 5 or so minutes of the credits?  It doesn''t have to have anything to do with the movie, just something the director wanted to throw in there.  It could be one of those "I''ve always wanted to do this" type of clips.  I think that would be cool, and give your movie stronger legs probably.   
  Then people wouldn''t read the credits and no one would know who did the lighting. ;quote:Original post by flangazor  Then people wouldn''t read the credits and no one would know who did the lighting.   Bah, nobody ever bothers to read past the first two or three names anyway.  So why not throw in some eye candy.  ;quote:Original post by Spider-Man  Bah, nobody ever bothers to read past the first two or three names anyway.  So why not throw in some eye candy.   I do most of the time, especially if I want to hear the music playing at the end, or the theme song.  If I''m staying, I''m reading. ;  Lots of movies do that already. Bruce Almighty showed outtakes. Matrix 2 showed a trailer for Matrix 3, Pirates of the Carribean had a gag with a money at the end. All Jacky Chan movies show failed stunts. All the Austin Power movies had stuff added in the credits. And the list goes on and on.

It was one of the monty pyton films but I am not sure which one. I think it was ''the meaning of life'' where they first started off with the wrong movie (an old B/W thingy) and then proceed to have all kind of weird danish credits, people firing the creditors, people firing the people who fired the creditors and then have the credits finished by some mexican group.
