10 Post-Credits Movie Scenes That Changed Everything

2. Wild Things

1998's erotic thriller Wild Things has enjoyed something of a re-evaluation in recent years, many coming to appreciate that it's decidedly smarter than its trashy veneer might suggest.

And this extends all the way past the film's main ending to its real epilogue, for while the movie seems to end with Suzie (Neve Campbell) poisoning Sam (Matt Dillon), knocking him overboard his boat, and sailing off into the sunset, there's more to come throughout the credits.

The credits effectively contain an assemblage of "missing" scenes from the main story which basically reveal just how much of a Machiavellian schemer Suzie actually was, having masterminded the entire plot to come out on top.

We see Suzie blackmailing Sam into helping her with photos of him having sex with student Kelly (Denise Richards), setting up the meeting between Sam and Ray (Kevin Bacon), staging her own murder, and finally meeting up with her only surviving co-conspirator, lawyer Kenneth Bowden (Bill Murray).

Above all else, having all this extra knowledge sure makes rewatching Wild Things even more of a gonzo hoot.
