10 Huge WTF Movie Post-Credits Moments

10. Game Over - Crank

How better to guarantee a blood-thumping adrenaline-rushing action movie than by engineering it so that the protagonist has to be involved in dangerous, high risk and exciting situations or he will die? That's exactly what Crank did in 2006, and it worked to strong effect.

As part of an assassination attempt, Jason Statham's Chev Chelios was injected with a drug that essentially slowed his heart rate down. With no known antidote, the only way to keep himself alive was to ensure that his adrenaline levels never dropped. Think of it as like Speed, but with a man's heart instead of a big bus driven by Sandra Bullock.

The final scene of the movie saw Chev fall from a helicopter to what would have been the death of anybody else. However, just before the screen cut to black, he blinked. He was still alive, and you'd have been forgiven for thinking any post-credit scene may have revolved around his survival.

Instead, the stinger featured an 8-bit version of the protagonist, something that had absolutely no relevance to the rest of the film, shooting people in the head until his heart stopped and literally exploded. The big 'Game Over' that appeared seemed to suggest that he had died, but the sequel, Crank: High Voltage, confirmed three years later that his heart was replaced shortly after surviving the fall. So, what the hell did this scene mean?
