10 Movies Where The Post-Credit Scene Is The Best Part
3. Zombieland: Double Tap
The list of the greatest zom-coms of all time may be topped by Shaun of the Dead, but Zombieland is right up there with it. Ruben Fleischer's 2009 outing was funny, goofy, gory, and surprisingly emotional, and it's strange to think that it took so long for the sequel to come.
Zombieland: Double Tap released ten years later in 2019, and like many long-awaited sequels, it was somewhat disappointing. There was nothing particularly new brought to the table, and it played out like a relatively safe return to Z-Land, though at the very least audiences were given a glimpse of the day the virus began.
It may have come after the credits, but it showed Day One of the outbreak, in the funniest way possible, with a call back to the original film no less. Namely, with Bill Murray.
Murray's cameo in the original Zombieland was an absolute highlight, and his return for a subsequent sequel cameo was genius. At a press junket for the in-universe Garfield threequel, Flabby Tabby, Murray was forced to fight off zombie after zombie as the first wave hit. Double Tap wasn't terrible by any stretch, but this scene was better than anything that happened before the credits began to roll.
