Stay Through The End of The Credits

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

I'd bet all of Landis' Universal pictures have that. I know "Into the Night" does as well.

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.

Heck, half the jokes in the Naked Gun movies were recycled from the show anyway. My most remembered Police Squad moments are the gunfight on either side of a park bench, followed by the "Scooby Doo" reveal where they pull half a dozen masks in a row off the villain. And I still remember the first fake freeze frame where Frank Drebbin's boss is pouring coffee which overflows and burns his hand.

True comedy genius.

When I was a kid, they played the Police Squad marathon on A&E. This was before the movie ever came out. I loved them and taped all six episodes. I was the only one of my friends who knew about Police Squad when Naked Gun came out and I was the only one who thought it was funny that Norberg was played by OJ Simpson and not some big goofy white guy.

I noticed the recent Harry Potter movie had the line "No dragons were harmed during the making of this movie" towards the end of the credits.

Xena had one of those types in every show, I think "no evil princess were redeemed in the making of this show" etc. TV credits can be fun too...

How can we forget Skeletor coming out of the water and his evilLaugh at the end of Maters of the Universe.

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

That's actually a myth. At one point I found a web page that detailed things better, but here's a quote from Carpenter about it.

"On the rumor that Big Trouble in Little China was originally adapted from the unused Buckaroo Bonzai sequel: No. It was adapted from a period western that the studio felt would work better set in modern day."

I wish it were true, it was a great story, but unfortunately it isn't.

There were jokes in the credits for the Hot Shots! movies as well. I saw these when I was in Japan and that made it much easier to spot them since a japanese translation would pop up on the screen for the joke.

One bit from the credits for "Shanghai Noon" was that the accounting was listed as "C'nedra Al'Thor" which is a combination of the names of a character from the Belgariad and The Wheel of Time. I've always wondered if that was a dig at the rather fantastical nature of accounting at movie studios.
