I nominate the live action Street Fighter movie.

You can see the sequence here, starting at the 5:49 mark.

There wasn't a lot of good in the Street Fighter movie. Van Damme's acting was terrible, Ryu and Ken were turned tertiary characters, and comic relief to boot. But Raul Julia's campy performance as M. Bison was fantastic, and the after credit sequence that shows he survived his encounter with Guile is so cheesy that it's good.

That's going to be hard to beat, I keep forgetting they set up for a sequel, Raul Julia is the only actor worth watching in that piece of shit.

RIP you awesome bastard!

Not particularly great in itself, but a nice ending for a great movie:

The Iron Man one was pretty awesome, even though it was spoiled for just about everyone before it happened.

xmen 3 was nice despite it not being possible

Anything X-men movie related is dead to me because they never included Gambit, my favorite X man.

I actually liked Street Fighter, but I havent seen it since it first came out.

Empire Records has a pretty good one where Mark and Eddie talk about how rock and metal at the time, specifically Henry Rollins, sucked. Can't find it on YouTube.

How could you all forget "Masters Of The Universe!?!"

I also nominate the after credits of Harold & Kumar 2, which I can't find a clip of.

You win at life.

I always liked the "House on Haunted Hill" remake scene just because I can talk about what it means for about two hours.

Never seen the Haunted Hill one. What is it?

House on Haunted Hill is a remake of a Vincent Price movie. The new one stars... wait, you mean what happens?

After the credits, an inmate is rolling a bolex camera during the asylum riot (seen at the beginning of the movie and later on Peter Graves' TV show). Only this time the inmates are torturing Geoffrey Rush and Famke Janssen . Now, this opens up all sorts of theories of what happened. Did they go back in time? Are they in Hell? Are they stuck in a time loop? Etc.

Heh, that's pretty cool.

Wish I had known to stay through the credits. Then again, the final act of that movie always pissed me off. They built up this perfect creepy ambience, then this giant evil poorly designed CGI cloud comes out of nowhere and ruins the movie.

Yeah, I hear that. But HoHH is one of those really bad films I just can't help but love. Probably because everyone seems to be having such a good time making it.

I remember The Masters of The Universe one, too bad they never made another one though. The after credits in Austin Powers-The Spy Who Shagged Me is pretty funny.

Yeah, that's kind of cheap, especially how it seemed to kill the rest of the remaining cast... But Chris Kattan kind of makes it work for me for the reasons that I need a force of good to outweigh the forces of evil, or at least help balance them out.

I love the rollercoaster sequence at the beginning. And the giant whateverscope they lock Fake Vincent Price in.

And so many people in this went on to great things.

We have:

pre-Pirates Geoffrey Rush
pre-Heroes Ali Larter
Pre-OC Peter Gallagher
Pre-X-Men Famke Janssen
Pre-Private Practice Taye Diggs
Pre-Sampras Bridgette Wilson
Pre-Divorce Lisa Loeb
Pre-4400 Jeffrey Combs

Worst After Credits Sequence? Max Payne.

Posted: Jan 08 2009 03:53 pm

Worst ACS is either Pirates of the Carribean 2 or South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut.
