* ''{{PoliceSquad}}'''s gag ending. The characters in the last scene all freeze in place as though the last frame of the scene has been frozen to allow the credits to roll over it (similar to how credits were handled in many live-action adventure series over the years). The credits do roll, but the film keeps rolling as well - it's the actors who aren't moving! This allows for all sorts of weirdness (see the show's article for more on this).

* While it pales in comparison to most of these examples, ''{{Se7en}}'' had odd credits that ''scrolled up'' (this was to add to the already HighOctaneNightmareFuel ending) and if I recall correctly looked as though they were written with a faulty typewriter and then had the color poorly inverted.

** ''TheIncredibles'' had a very stylistic montage recapping the film during its credits.

* ''[[MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' has a lot of fun with its credits, especially during season 2. Of particular note are the credits in "Spanish Inquisition" (which are superimposed over shots of the Spanish Inquisition rushing on the bus to a courtroom where someone just [[RunningGag failed to expect them]]) and "The Buzz Aldrin Show" (where everything is credited to Buzz Aldrin).

* Even non-pixar Disney films have some. {{Brother Bear}} has clips of Kenai, Koda, and even Rutt and Tuke, which is followed by Phil Collins singing [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Take a Look Through My Eyes]] and [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome No Way Out (extended version)]], and then the hilarious Koda proclaiming that no fish were harmed in the making, which is quickly followed by a bear running across the screen, chasing a fish yelling "HE"S GONNA EAT ME!". After Koda covers the screen, the sound of a bear swallowing can be heard. Cue end logos.

* Some consider the ending credits for the recent RobinHood movie (with Russell Crowe) the best part of the entire film, and not because the film was terrible, but simply because the credits are so awesome.

** ''ToyStory 3'' has a kind of WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue montage during the credits. Suffice it to say that the movie simply doesn't end when the credits begin.

** ''Order of the Phoenix'' made the credits into the headlines of an animated magical newspaper.

* ''HotShots'' have sufficiently long credits, over a montage of many of the visual gags in the film. The credits also contain trivia, recipes, and end with "Had you left the theatre when the film had started, you'd be home by now."

* {{Jade Empire}}'s credits are talked over partially by the must-mentioned but never seen wife of Hou, then by the "actors" playing two of the supporting cast - their conversations cover the difficulties of filming, the interwebs, {{Shout Out}}s to {{Star Trek}}, not getting typecast and exactly what she does with [[NoodleImplements that banana]] on stage. And then your mentor telling you about the time you were decapitated as a child, but got better after walking it off. And then exploded a mountain by punching it. {{IN SPACE}}. [[http://uk.gamespot.com/users/edubuccaneer/video_player?id=ISE2njf45bwNvTI The credits can be seen here]], Hou's section starts at three minutes in, Dawn Star and Sagacious Zu at a little past five minutes.

* {{Devil May Cry}} 4 challenges you to defend Kyrie from waves of scarecrows for ninety seconds, which is of course made more difficult by the credits obscuring the entire screen. There's a bonus cutscene [[TheStinger at the end]], though.

* Even non-pixar Disney films have some. {{Brother Bear}} has clips of Kenai, Koda, and even Rutt and Tuke, which is followed by Phil Collins singing [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Take a Look Through My Eyes]] and [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome No Way Out (extended version)]], and then the hilarious Koda proclaiming that no fish were harmed in the making, which is quickly followed by a bear running across the screen, chasing a fish yelling "HE"S GONNA EAT ME!".

* BigMoneyHustlas has the closing credits play over a gunfight that happens in a funeral!

* ''[[Film/HarryPotter]] And The Prisoner Of Azkaban'' did its credits in the style of the Maurauder's Map.

** The end credits of ''{{WALL-E}}'', which is pretty much a mini-movie after the movie is over, depicting the renewal of Earth. It even has its own CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, with the boot.

* ''HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban'' did its credits in the style of the Maurauder's Map.

** ''{{Up}}'' has the credits in the form of Ellie's scrapbook [[spoiler: that's been added to by Carl and Russell]].

* ''{{Bolt}}'' had a children's book-looking epilogue pictures that showed [[spoiler: Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino living happily with Penny on a farm]].

* ''Film/AliceInWonderland'' had a very pretty scene for the cast list and Avril Lavigne's song that showed the clouds shifting, mushrooms growing (and glowing) and the bare GothSpirals branches blooming to show that [[spoiler: Underland is healing after the Red Queen's defeat]].

* The ''DawnOfTheDead'' remake's end credits starts with clips from the rich jerkass's video camera (which appears to be a parody of Paris Hilton's infamous sex tape), then shows the survivors landing on an isolated island [[spoiler: It's ''isolated'', not ''uninhabited'']].

* Interspersed within the credits of ''WildThings'' are a series of short scenes that tie the rest of the movie together, including a final one that [[spoiler:ties Bill Murray's character with Neve Campbell's]].

* ''{{Borderlands}}''' first piece of DLC ''"The Zombie Island Of Dr. [[strike:Z]]Ned"'' takes this to its logical conclusion by [[spoiler:subverting the AnticlimaxBoss by having Dr. [[strike:Z]]Ned come back as an [[OneWingedAngel undead abomination]], scream "It's not over yet!" and include a proper final boss fight]].
