10 Secret Post-Credits Horror Movie Scenes That Were Absolute Genius
10. Constantine Quits Smoking - Constantine
John Constantine is one of DC Comics’ most interesting characters, which is why it’s nuts that he’s not been given a proper feature film outing since the superhero movie boom.
His only major movie appearance so far was in 2005, in which the sarcastic leather-clad supernatural hunter was played by Keanu Reeves. Although Reeves' casting caused consternation among the Hellblazer faithful (Constantine is a Liverpudlian in the comics), the John Wick actor's interpretation has developed a firm cult following. In the film, he must battle a horde of demons whilst also fending off terminal lung cancer, all with the help of his trusty apprentice Chas (Shia LaBeouf).
At least for some of the movie - Chas dies about two-thirds of the way in.
After saving the world from demonic destruction and persuading Lucifer to remove his cancer, Constantine ends the film without properly mourning his lost pupil. However, if you stick around for the whole credits, you’ll find that this isn’t true.
In a secret scene, Constantine visits Chas' grave and leaves his lighter there, completing the dead man’s wish that he give up smoking. Then, he watches as Chas’ soul rises up to Heaven, giving both of them a sense of closure.
