* The theatrical release of ''TheAbyss'' was the first JamesCameron film ([[{{Titanic}} but not]] [[Film/{{Avatar}} the last]]) to feature double-column/speeded-up end credits on account of all the people involved, so Creator/AlanSilvestri's end credit suite features "Finale," a lot of "Bud On The Ledge" and the ending of "Back On The Air" [[spoiler: (the music for Bud and the aliens heading to the surface)]] without the choir. When it was released on video, it had a slower and one-column only roll which therefore lasted much longer, and had a much longer suite to match made up of "Finale," "The Pseudopod," "Resurrection," a reprise of the first part of "Finale" [[spoiler: (for the spire rising scene)]], and the excerpts from "Bud On The Ledge" and "Back On The Air."
