Stay Through The End of The Credits

[Dark Jezter]

At the end of Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, tune in to see a morbidly obese Ben Stiller going off the deep end.

Near the end of Animal House they tell you what happened to all the characters. They say Babs is a tour guide at Universal Studios. During the credits, they say: Filmed at Universal Studios, Hollowwood, CA. Ask for Babs.

Anything from Pixar has a secret ending.

I always liked the credits in the Police Squad! TV series. The last scene would end with a freeze frame, and the credits would roll... but the frame wasn't really frozen. The actors just stood really still. And things would go wrong...

Best line ever from Police Squad! - "Act Two: Gesundheit"

Man, Police Squad was some funny cracked up goofball snort ruggin. I mean, that show was SERIOUSLY twisted.

I remember one episode where somebody throws a message tied to a window into a rock garden, and then somebody throws a MIME tied to a rock through a window. That was t same episode where the "Japanese Garden" is of course Japanese people standing in pots.

I don't know, I guess either you think that's idiot funny or you don't. Me, I'm with the idiots. I can't BELIEVE that show got cancelled. The Naked Gun pictures were okay, but the show was the TRUE genius. When it's just half an hour the comedy never feels strained.

Just thinking about it is making me laugh.

Buckaroo Banzai: 'Buckaroo will return in 'Buckaroo Banzai vs the World Crime League'. ah, if only....

Man, I would CRY if that picture got announced. If I ever get thirty million dollars in one place at one time, I might just call Peter, John, Jeff, Christopher and Ellen and see what we can come up with.

Okay, goofy IMDB discovery: The director of TAoBBAt8D is also the writer of Big Trouble in Little China and...


Stealth

Okay, that's messed up. How the mighty have fallen.

During the credits of "Splash," it shows Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah swimming together underwater. They swim for a long time. At the end of the credits, they reach Atlantis.

During the credits of "Angel Heart," Micky Rourke is in an elevator going down, down, ever downward. At the end of the credits he arrives . . . in Hell.

IIRC, "Police Squad" didn't get cancelled. It was contracted only as a summer replacement show (back then, this was a common practice on TV -- a series would be put on the air just to run during the summer. If it was really popular, it might get picked up for a regular run during a season). The network wanted to do more episodes, but the creators felt they didn't have enough material to keep doing episodes. But they did come up with material for a movie.

There's a whole another skit in "Amazon Women on the Moon". Though it wasn't a very funny skit.

And apparently it also does the "Ask for Babs" thing like Animal House

Stealth

Yeah, supposedly BTiLC was going to be a BB movie.

Still, on paper that was actually a promotion. Both TAoBBAt8D and BTiLC were pretty small films, while Stealth was a big movie, in terms of money and studio hype. Though it kinda flopped, which IMHO was easy to predict to everyone but studio execs.

I always watch the credits. Not doing so would spoil the movie for me...

I remember the first time I noticed the phenonmenon, when watching The Blues Brothers in the theater on opening weekend. At the end it had a "Visit Universal Studios" emblem, which was (and sometimes still is) common for Universal pics, but it added "Ask for Babs!"

Since that day, I've always stayed all the way through the credits, unless I really disliked the film. So very many good tidbits over the years.

All for the babes, eh?
