Non-Marvel Movies With Post-Credits Scenes

Post credits scenes are nothing new in the world of movies.
These are short scenes that would play after the credits and company logos have all been shown.

Most post-credit scenes are more or less a set-up for a possible sequel,
4th wall breaking/meta commentaries about the moviegoers,

blooper reels (which are quite common in Jackie Chan movies)
or something entirely unrelated to the movie you just saw.
Usually done for comedic reasons.

Despite being consistently used in almost all Marvel movies,
they weren't the first ones to have done it with commercial success.
That honor would go to the 1980 movie Airplane:
Wherein a disgruntled old man inside a taxi cab decides to give our lead characters 20 more minutes.

Hence, for this list. We intend to shed light upon the OTHER movies to have featured this said gimmick.
Now, we couldn't possibly list down every single movie with post-credit scenes. Because
that would be insane and be quite impractical to do so. So we will just have to stick to the ones
we've seen more recently. And also (and quite obviously), SPOILERS AHEAD!

8. Kung Pow! Enter The Fist (2002)
No list wouldn't be complete without the mere mention or reference to this movie.
The post-credit scene features Master Tang
and a hawk.
He would repeatedly ask for someone(ANYONE'S) help on getting rid of the hawk that is still picking apart his leg.
The scene then fades to black as Master Tang could still be heard complaining and end his rant with "SAVE THE WHALES".

7. Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)
Mr. Bean writes the word "FIN" with his foot.
It then gets washed away by the shore.
He continues to film this up until his videocam runs out of battery.

6. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie For Theaters (2007)
Favorite scene:
The Cybernetic Ghost Of Christmas Past From The Future can be seen dry humping an old TV.
Then a female Frylock tells him:

5. The Disaster Artist (2017)
This scene features a meeting between the movie Tommy Wiseau (as played by James Franco)
and the actual Tommy Wiseau 
as they engage in a short conversation dissing each other's looks, behavior, and personality.

4. Journey To The West: The Demons Strikes Back (2017)
This was by far our favorite post-credit scene.
It's a very self-aware post-credit scene about post-credit scenes.
Both a commentary on the gimmick and most production companies' biases/favoritism towards certain types of movies.
In it, two moviegoers are reluctant to leave the theater.
One theater janitor would advise them to leave stating that the particular movie they are watching wouldn't have any post-credit scenes.
While the other janitor, being Stephen Chow himself explains that only BIG BLOCKBUSTERS have a post-credit scene.
And this movie is most certainly not one of them.

3. Kong Skull Island (2017)
Conrad (Tom Hiddleston) and Weaver (Brie Larson) were both detained in an interrogation room.
They are then welcomed by both Brooks and San to a secret project called Monarch.
Within this somewhat long post-credit scene, it was discussed that Kong wasn't the only king.
Setting up a possible Monsterverse sequel featuring Godzilla.

2. Ralph Breaks The Internet (2018)
You expected maybe a Frozen 2 trailer?
Well, too bad!
There's only Ralph singing Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.

1. Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)
Bill Murray could be seen coughing up hairballs (and in different languages) as part of his promotional interview for Garfield 3: Flabby Tabby.

And that wraps up on our list.
Know of any other notable non-Marvel movies with post-credit scenes?
SURE YOU DO!
