After Vanessa is killed by Sergie and Deadpool explains that he's killing himself, we get a hilarious riff on a James Bond opening sequence to the backdrop of Celine Dion singing.

The credits are all replaced with exclamations of disbelief that Vanessa has just been killed as 'Pool acts out the parts usually reserved for Bond girls.
