10 Post-Credits Movie Scenes EVERYONE Saw Coming
3. Piccolo Survives - Dragonball Evolution
Every so often, a movie is awful enough that a post-credits sequel-bait tease feels more like a threat than a promise of exciting attractions to come. And that's certainly the case with the execrable live-action Dragon Ball adaptation, Dragonball Evolution.
Taking the movie's quality out of the equation for just a second - but only a second - it just never seemed plausible that Dragonball Evolution's primary antagonist, King Piccolo (James Marsters), would be defeated and killed off for good in a single film.
For starters, Piccolo was Dragon Ball's original Bad Guy, and beyond that, his arc eventually saw him pull a face-turn and join the heroes' side, so why would any self-respecting Dragon Ball fan wipe him out in one fell swoop?
Sure, no "self-respecting Dragon Ball fan" played any part in this movie being made, but all the same, nobody believed Piccolo was really gone when Goku (Justin Chatwin) took him out with a Kamehameha Wave at the end.
Lo and behold, the hilariously naff mid-credits scene then showed a woman tending to an unseen figure in bed, before they turned around to reveal that - quel surprise! - they're a very much alive Piccolo.
Mercifully Dragonball Evolution was a dud in every way that a movie can be, so fans never had the proposed sequel foisted upon them.
