10 Post-Credits Movie Scenes That Change Everything

3. The Outcome Of The Fight - The Grey

The Grey was advertised as Liam Neeson fighting wolves for ninety minutes, which naturally led to some anger when it was became apparent it was something else entirely. Instead of Taken On Ice, Joe Carnahan's film was an existential drama that directly challenged the ideals you expect from action heroes.

As if to mock expectations and fuel the backlash further, the final scene ends just before a kitted up Neeson finally takes on the alpha of the wolf pack who's been chasing him the whole movie, leaving the outcome up to the audience's imagination. Of rather, it would have been up to the audience's imagination, had a later scene not told you exactly what happens next

After the credits, a short pan sees Neeson's Ottway slumped on a raspily breathing wolf, implying the epic confrontation of man and nature ended in a resounding draw. While that's very in keeping with the film's gradual wearing down of Ottway and his fellow plane crash survivors, it switches the final focus; instead of ending on the odd high of a last-ditch effort for survival born from one man's pure desperation, The Grey presents a reaffirmation of the futility of the character's journey.
