10 Huge WTF Movie Post-Credits Moments
2. Tommy Wiseau's Contractual Obligation - The Disaster Artist
The Room, written, directed, and starring the eccentric and unmistakable Tommy Wiseau, is widely regarded as one of the worst movies of all time. Even The Disaster Artist, the on-screen depiction of the making of Wiseau's picture, had a fittingly ridiculous behind-the-scenes story.
For all intents and purposes, James Franco's movie is a good one, certainly better than its subject, but there was one scene that could have threatened it entirely. Namely, the contractually obligated cameo from Wiseau himself, that he insisted on having opposite Franco.
The problem was that the man is instantly recognisable, and to have him face to face with Franco playing him would make absolutely no sense at all. But of course, Wiseau wouldn't be denied in spite of the many, many objections he heard.
The scene, which has absolutely no place within the movie or the overall narrative, sees the real Wisaeu in a painfully poor disguise, having a nonsensical conversation with his James Franco counterpart about absolutely nothing. It would have literally killed any momentum the film had already picked up dead, and though James Franco was contractually obliged to include it in the film, he literally hid it at the very, very end.
