10 INSANE Credits Scenes You Probably Missed

8. Tapping on the Fourth Wall - Cradle 2 the Grave

Cradle 2 the Grave is certainly a movie that encourages you to sit through the credits and savour DMX's banger tune "Right/Wrong," but if you decide to turn the movie off within a minute of the credits rolling, you'll miss an extremely odd and surprisingly lengthy mid-credits scene.

After a while, we cut to Archie (Tom Arnold) and Tommy (Anthony Anderson), who banter about trying to find regular jobs, their families, Archie's fetish for larger women, and the screenplay Archie is planning to write based on the events they just lived through.

Archie says he's considering Mel Gibson to play himself, while he wants Tommy to be played by Denzel Washington, and their love interests will be played by Halle Berry and Oprah respectively.

As for the rest of the main cast, Archie is considering Shaq to play Fait (DMX), Sixteen Candles star Gedde Watanabe to play Su (Jet Li), and Winona Ryder to appear as Daria (Gabrielle Union).

For a director, the pair agree on "the guy who directed Romeo Must Die and Exit Wounds," who of course just so happens to be this film's own director, Andrzej Bartkowiak.

It's basically three minutes of inane but hilarious banter with a strong whiff of improv, as though Arnold and Anderson just cooked it up on the fly.
