10 Movies With Post-Credits Scenes That Change Everything

9. The Grey

The ending of Joe Carnahan's The Grey did a pretty good job of pissing basically everyone off and leaving them feeling completely unresolved. To be fair, though, a lot of that can be blamed on the film€™s marketing. With the success of movies like Taken, the trailers for The Grey marketed it as an action film about Liam Neeson kicking ass and fighting wolves for two hours. As it turns out, the movie is a reflection on death and survival with very little action at all. The most badass moment of the trailer shows Liam Neeson taping a bunch of broken glass to his hands and getting ready to fight a wolf. Well, we don't actually get to see that fight take place, with the movie ending on John running towards the wolf as we cut to black. We€™re left having no idea what the outcome was and if John survived at all. The final film shows us as much of that scene as the trailers did. Well actually, we do see more than we do in the trailer. It€™s just hidden after the credits. At the very end, we get a brief sequence where we see John lying on the wolf and at least one of them is clearly breathing. It€™s pretty cryptic, but it€™s at least something, and it can be read as an indication that John took out the wolf and survived the fight. Too bad everyone who left the theatre early in disappointment missed that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMOFD-pqc5I
