We’ve experienced tasty cookies in movies ranging from “School of Rock” to “Ghost World” to “Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace” to the “Harry Potter” movies to countless Pixar films to “Saving Mr.

Sellers was reportedly furious at the studio for undercutting the movie with the cheap stunt. Perhaps the most tone-deaf gag placement of a gag reel: After the beautiful and provocative and sly and elegiac “Being There” (1979) with an ending that invited thoughtful and passionate debate, we were shown a scene of Peter Sellers repeatedly flubbing his lines in a scene that wasn’t in the final cut of the movie. The father of the blooper reel is stuntman-turned-director Hal Needham, who spotlighted Burt Reynolds messing up lines and cracking wise in the end-credits sequences for movies such as “Smokey and the Bandit II” and “The Cannonball Run.” Burt Reynolds and Sally Field in “Smokey and the Bandit II.” | Universal Pictures We quickly forget about that passenger as the “Airplane!” adventure unfolds - but, during the end credits, we return to the poor guy, who is still in the back of the cab and says, “Well, I’ll give him another 20 minutes, but that’s IT.”Īnother batch of cookies: the end-credits “blooper” sequences, featuring the actors from the comedy we’ve just seen improvising jokes and/or screwing up lines, prompting uproarious laughter from the performers and the crew.Īs a rule, the less funny a comedy is, the more likely we’re going to see a blooper reel during the credits. At the beginning of the film, pilot turned cabdriver Ted Striker (Robert Hays) tells a passenger, “I’ll be right back!” and then races into the airport. I loved the stinger in “Airplane! (1980). It ends with Animal telling the audience to “Go home!” (Seven years later, a post-credits Ferris Bueller would echo the line, saying to the audience, “You’re still here? Go home!”) The 1979s classic - yes, classic - “The Muppet Movie” is often credited as the film that took the end-credits cookie to the next level.Īfter “THE END,” we see the Muppets in a movie theater, reacting to the movie itself. “JAMES BOND will return in the next Ian Fleming thriller, GOLDFINGER.” Starting with “From Russia With Love” (1963), the James Bond films would feature a title card after the end credits, announcing the next adventure: Eventually they walk past a marquee for the Sands, advertising a show starring …įrank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. We see the rest of the gang, as the credits start to roll, listing Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, et al. “Show me a man without a dream, and I’ll show you a man that’s dead …” Frank Sinatra (from left), Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop in “Ocean’s 11” (1960). In the original “Ocean’s 11” - I mean the original-original, from 1960 - after the dramatic conclusion of the story proper, we dissolve to a shot of Sammy Davis Jr., still in character, walking down the Strip in the cold light of day as the soundtrack plays Davis singing “Eee-Oh-Eleven”: (Some say it goes all the way back to 1903’s “The Great Train Robbery” when the story ends, and the lead villain - who has just been killed - reappears and takes direct aim at the audience and fires.)
In the Marvel Universe, the end credits bonus scene, or “stinger,” or “cookie,” has become such a staple that diehard fans stay in their seats at the end of the movie, patiently waiting for their treat.īut the cookie is not a 21st century innovation. It’s like a little cookie placed on the saucer of your after-dinner coffee. The movie is over - but wait, there’s still a bit more of the movie to come. My favorite involves Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson/Deadpool traveling back in time to dissuade Ryan Reynolds from doing the 2011 disaster that was “Green Lantern.”Īnd when I say dissuade, I mean Deadpool approaches Reynolds as the actor holds the script for “Green Lantern” - and he shoots Reynolds in the head. IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN “DEADPOOL 2” YET AND YOU’RE PLANNING TO SEE “DEADPOOL 2,” DON’T GET MAD AT ME IF YOU READ THIS BEFORE SEEING “DEADPOOL 2.”Īs you’d expect with a fourth-wall-breaking, wink-at-the-viewer film such as “Deadpool 2,” the bonus scenes popping up during the closing credits are especially clever and self-referential.
