10 More Sneaky Film End Credits Messages You Probably Missed

4. Prince?! - Fargo

Prince Fargo

Someone working on Fargo was obviously a big fan of Prince.

Following the grand tradition of end credits having fake credits and made-up job titles in them, the Coen Brothers' seminal black comedy claimed that the Artist Formerly Known as Prince played "Victim In Field" as denoted by his symbol among the cast. It actually wasn't him at all - it was Fargo's storyboard artist J. Todd Anderson.

Years later, they'd reward fans who sat through the end credits of A Serious Man with the heart-warming disclaimer that "No Jews were harmed in the making of this film." Always good to know.
