    Especially with sports movies. You want to see who some of the extras were if you didn't recognize them, or maybe who the trainers and consultants were.

    Like Grady Little, who was the baseball trainer for "Bull Durham."

    The Zucker brothers were great about that. The Airplane movies and the Naked Gun series all have jokes buried in the credits. In one of the Naked Guns, either the first or second one, they list all of the gaffers and grips, then list "What the hell is a grip?", followed by a short explanation of what it is. Another one had a cookie recipe.

    You have got to be the first person in history to say Seven disturbed him b/c of its credits. :D

    Isn't Buckaroo Bonzai famous its credits and movies since have paid homage.
    Seems like they knew the movie wasn't going to a sequel, but they stuck in that the movie would continue and other directors picked up on it and did the same thing.
    I know all the Jay and Silent Bob movies have things listed at the end.

    The most disturbing thing at the end of the credits for Seven is that they show what's inside the box. Four delicious cupcakes.

    In the first Naked Gun, during the credits it said IN CASE OF TORNADO SOUTHWEST CORNER OF BASEMENT.

    I definitely watch the credits. Sometimes it's because of things that happen during the credits, sometimes it's because the songs in a movie are good and I want to see the name and who performed it.

    Yep. Just noticed that a few weeks back, watching the DVD again.

    Just like Rod Dedeaux for "Field of Dreams" and "A League of Their Own," Ken Berry for "Eight Men Out" and Rick Cerrone/Spec Shea for "The Natural."

    And Barry Bonds in "Rookie of the Year," of course.

    But most critics usually mention there's a clip at the end following the credits.
    Two of those better clips after the credit are in Airplane! and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

    Think it through.

    Ferris is the reason I stay now. The pictures at the end of Knocked Up were pretty cool too.
