10 Movies Where The Post-Credit Scene Is The Best Part

10. Split

M. Night Shyamalan has struggled to live up to his exceptional early-career work, with the likes of The Sixth Sense from 1999 and 2000's Unbreakable still being among the director's best all these years later. Conversely, his latest release, Trap, is without question among his worst.

Against the rest of Shyamalan's catalogue, Split falls somewhere in the middle. In spite of a phenomenal performance from James McAvoy that arguably deserved more recognition, the film is a rather forgettable outing made relevant only by what happened after the closing title card.

Without any real Shyamalan-esque twist up until this point, Split's post-credit scene, in fairness, offered one of the director's best ever, in that absolutely no one saw it coming. The news showed a report about McAvoy's Kevin Crumb in a café before two people vaguely referencing Samuel L. Jackson's Unbreakable character from 15 years earlier were given his name by Bruce Willis' David Dunn.

There were absolutely no hints of any connection between the films in the run-up to Split or during its events, and the confirmation of it being a secret sequel to Unbreakable was huge. Certainly bigger than anything else that happened on screen. It's just a shame that this couldn't be followed up with something better than Glass.
