5 Movie Epilogues That Should Have Been Sequels - After Hours 

I love how "Sen. Soren Bowie had sex so fast he caught fire and died" was immediately followed by "Written by Soren Bowie". Hilarious!

I'm surprised the line about getting stabbed was put in the epilogue of Stand By Me because it's only significant to the plot if you know this story takes place in the same world as the Shawshank Redemption. As many probably know Stand By Me was originally a story called "The Body" written by Stephen King which was also part of book called "Different Seasons".The book contained 4 stories: Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, Apt Pupil, The Body, and The Breathing Method. All these stories had at least 1 thing that was mentioned to connect them to the other stories. So IIRC the stabbing incident is mentioned in the Shawshank Redemption as a character stabbing someone at random to get sent back into prison. Then it's brought up again in The Body but only then do you find out it was one of the characters from that story that got stabbed.

>Soren Bowie died from ALL the sex >Written by Soren Bowie

You missed the epilogue in which Michael is actually turned into an android for a military experiment, but he escapes, and lives in an underground bunker dissecting internet videos with his robotic friend, Clippy, and, together they survive the apocalypse, and continue dissecting internet videos of ages past!

I would actually like to see a movie of Robin William's character in Jumanji time growing up in the jungle that he was sucked into.

I thought the exact same thing at the end of Jumanji. These two people are about to live everybody's dream. To repeat childhood knowing all of things we know today. I mean, who wouldn't love to hit that reset button and try again, only better?

The epilogue from The Island. This is the only thought-provoking Michael Bay film and ends with Ewan McGregor and Scarlet Johansen riding off into the sunset on a boat they obtained through identity theft. All the while, thousands of clones have been revealed to be sentient. Do they enter society? Does the government step in and take over their lives? Either way, the story of a worldwide major revelation and subsequent effects of thousands of sentient clones becoming part of the world while their ability for easy and destructive identity theft has already been established could provide for some great stories.

I wanna know what happened Monday in The Breakfast Club movie

The moment Katie screamed "Jumanji!" I might have fallen in love - at least with her character. Not because of the choice of movie, but there was something incredibly powerful, yet intangible about that scream that I really admire.

I got one for ya. Mallrats. Brody goes on to host the tonight show and Rene becomes his new band leader. But we know more to the story because in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Brody opened his own comic book store and has a framed news article titled "Brody Bolts" behind the cash desk. We don't know why he bolts, if he's still with Rene, if he still talks to T.S., even if he still lives in his mothers basement. There was an entire movie skipped over that could've been made instead of jersey girl.

I love how everyone else's eludes to somewhat major events over years but Dan just gets a temporary neck injury

Very interesting topic. Most Tarantino movie epilogues could be turned into good movies, particularly Pulp Fiction's one. Pretty much just have Jules "walking the earth" trying to do good and stuff, maybe becoming a preacher, and occasionally murdering people who come after him to get vengeance for some past vendetta.

Okay, the Harry Potter epilogue was unequivocally awful for a lot of reasons, but there's two reasons why I think could spiral into an amazing sequel. 1) Ginny Weasley might be love potioning Harry. All of a sudden in the Half-Blood Prince, Harry is suddenly in love with her, this is preceded by nothing and is introduced by way of sudden inner rage beast of envy (neither healthy nor normal). Earlier in the book, at the twins' shop, Ginny, Hermione and Molly are all crowding around the totally legally for sale love potions, with apparently no scruples against using them. Ginnys mother even comes out and says that she used one on Arthur to begin with. It's apparently very easy to sneak into Hogwarts, given Romilda Vane did so. 2) Children born of love potion boning turn into magical sociopaths. Rowling has said it is why Voldemort is literally incapable of feeling love. So imagine Harry Potter, the saviour of the magical world getting on in life, body beginning to slow down and incapable of following the magic in his mind, realizing he's been trapped in a potion induced haze for decades, and being faced with the rise of three simultaneous dark lords/ladies, his children. Three Voldemorts, named after the people he loved and respected most, and a life stolen from him. From the kid in the cupboard to the potion in the tea cup, nothing's changed Mr. Potter, you've always been trapped. Now go put Albus Severus out of his misery.

The answer is the Truman Show. What happened when he got to real life? When he got his own? Was he compensated? What were his struggles? Did he succeed in his life? Did Truman regret his choice?

in Conan the Barbarian, Conan becomes a king in some nameless land and all we are told is "that is a story for another day"

Soren's trolling of Katie was priceless. 😂

Thank You After Hours for returning. By far, one of most enjoyable shows on the web.

Not a movie... but the greatest epilogue to anything EVER is from the book, _"Iron Coffins: A Personal Account Of The German U-boat Battles Of WWII"_ by Herbert Werner. So, after an incredible tale of the U-boat war, from a guy who fought through and survived the entire thing, Werner finally wraps it up by recounting what happened to him at the end of the war. They were ordered to take their boat and surrender and they were all sent to some island somewhere (I can't remember) and they were held there for about a month or so. Eventually, Werner is interviewed by some American. All the questions were designed to root out Nazis, which Werner wasn't one. Satisfied, the American gives him papers that will allow him to return to his home in Frankfurt. When Werner reaches the coast in Germany, he boards the train bound for Frankfurt. The train takes him there... but it doesn't stop. In fact, the train doesn't stop anywhere in Germany... and it takes him and all the other ex-military passengers across the border into France. Just as they did after WWI, France wants revenge, and they are a bit pissed having suffered worse than just about every other country excluding the Soviet Union and Germany itself. What happens next is a series of terrible events regarding Werner's imprisonment at various camps wherein the French try (and pretty much succeed at) forcibly recruiting these German prisoners into the French Foreign Legion. At one point, Werner even succeeds at escaping and crossing back into Germany (but it was a test run he did by himself and, when he goes back to get his friend, the camp is being moved and he is unable to escape a second time) Under extreme duress, Werner himself is eventually worn down until he finally agrees to enlist... however, he becomes ill very soon after and had to be taken to a French hospital in Paris (the hospital itself is a prison). From there, Werner (while still very sick), makes his escape. The problem now is that he's 200 miles from the German border instead of right next to it. Eventually, he's able to make his way there, through sheer luck. At this point, the trains are being controlled by each country so, at the border, the French crew hands the train over to a German crew. As the German crew is inspecting the train, one of the crew members spots Werner, hiding in a space on the outside of the train. Werner has no idea what this guy will do... one word and Werner is bound for prison and a near lifetime enlistment into the French Foreign Legion. But, the crewman, who has probably dealt with several ex-German military members attempting to repatriate themselves back to their home country, says nothing, and Werner is free. Technically, Werner is a wanted man in France and the rest of Europe, so he eventually emigrates to America. It's an absolutely hair-raising experience that Werner wraps up in less than a single chapter. And yet, it would make an even better movie that his entire experience as a U-boat officer and eventual commander.

It dawned on me how brilliant micheal's pitch could be. Have a guy struggling to pay for college, taking up a life of crimes on the weekends to do it- drift racing, robbery- desperate to wash the blood off his hands and make things better for the downtrodden, someone even points out that he could do a hell of a lot more as an outlaw than a lawyer, finally he finishes his degree, wins a major case and boom, arbitrary neck stabbing. Not only 'try to change the world, but you're just one man', but also 'pitting the poor against each other is how the rich survive', and it could be a paradise lost style story if the audience knows ahead of time that he's going to die. You would root for him, a fallen angel, even though you know his struggle is ultimately going to fail.

Kill Bill Three: The movie Tarantino will never make now, where after ten years of peace, Beatrix's past catches up with her. A blinded Elle Driver with survivors of the Crazy 88s hunt down and declare war on The Bride and her daughter. The epilogue was B & baby B driving off into the sunset, but we all know that's not how their story should end. You live by the sword, you die by it. "Kill Beatrix" beats even Jumanji. Tho I have to admit that was pretty good.

I thought the Sandlot one was quite clear. He entered the counterculture of the 60's and got heavy into drug use and was never seen again. He prob OD-ed somewhere in California circa 1970.

I'd watch a Seinfeld-esque After Hours sitcom....

i hope they dont stop making after hours....i actually subscribed to cracked because of after hours....

This is definitely the best show on cracked.

The biggest epilogue ever is Shogun. This book (and miniseries based on it) set in a rapidly changing feudal Japan is immensely engrossing, and all the events are leading up to this massive battle between rivals Toranaga and Ishido. Then the battle is just an epilogue. It says Toranaga won one of the biggest battles Japan had ever seen, taking 40,000 enemy heads, and captures Ishido, buries him in the dirt with only his head above the ground at let kids saw at his neck with a bamboo saw. That battle sounds epic, and yet was consigned to a single paragraph of epilogue.

"Sen. Soren Bowie had sex so fast that he caught fire and died." Love it.

Still a fantastic series in 2022

I didn't know any of those movies except Jumanji. :)

3:53 Uh, you DO know Project X was _based on_ that kid in Australia's party, right? Those aren't two separate things to mix together...

"Get me to do it for you." I love that so very, very much.

Cracked After Hours is the only reason I watch Cracked at all. These four actor/writers come up with really thoughtful incite.

MORE AFTER HOURS ITS LITERALLY YOUR BEST SHOW!!! I CAN TOTALLY SEE A NETWORK PICKING THIS SHOW UP

Jennifer's Body. The movie was surprisingly good and I think, if they cut out the last few minutes, that could have made for an awesome sequel or spin-off. This "crazy" chick gets demonic powers and goes hunting down the people who got a demon to posses her friend. And she was a bit of a badass by the end of it if I remember correctly.

Ler's GO! More After Hours

The epilogue in Hoot was interesting too. Being that the girl character was never seen again as well. It'd be cool to see what happened to her after the incidents in hoot

You should do an After Hours about how text based information is never left on the screen long enough for the average person to finish reading.

Dear Katie from Cracked, You look like Velma from Scooby Doo, and that rocks! Loving this Cracked !

The credits actually made me want a sequel to the Breakfast Club. I mean did those kids just go back to school that Monday and have nothing to show for it? How did that guy react to their letter? I wanted to see more to that film, the aftermath man. I always want the aftermath.

This is my favorite thing to come out of Cracked. You guys are awesome.

BTW happy to see new guy hasn't truly infected one of the best things about cracked, thanks for at least keeping something good

Stand by Me is probably the realest epilog you'll ever see. You remember the time in his childhood when he was first knife threatened you expect him to come out on top , but it shocks you , which is really smart.

Please do more after hours and less of the everything else! After hours is the reason I subscribed, and this was the first new after hours since I subbed... The fuck dudes...

I'm pretty sure sarah's job as an adult in jumanji is a psychic so the writers may have caught on

Harry Potter epilogue sequel where Albus Severus Potter gets placed into Sliveren

People, there is no greater yet-to-be-made epilogue better than Sloth moving in with Chunk and family. That I would pay to see.

The Breakfast Club 2. What happens to the kids on Monday morning? do they go back to their screwed up lives or do they change their ways and become the best-est of friends?

Welcome back, original ideas and a script being written for more than 15 minutes (including the lunch break).

So...Zathura is Jumanji in space?

So glad this series is back. Omfg. I was dying without it. Thank you sweet baby Jesus.

That does sound pretty awesome, a little girl who has 30 years or so more life experience than any other girl and can predict the future, along with a boy with 30 years or so of wilderness survival experience as well as first hand accounts of horrors the likes of which basically nobody on Earth can comprehend. She helps steer the world to a better place, perhaps even becoming the first female President of the United States and keeping so many Americans from dying in that foolish Vietnam War, while he can write 'fiction' novels, books on surviving in the jungle, and considering he's been shot at so much, perhaps even try an historical fiction book on war involving single shot black powder rifles such as the Martini-Henry. 9/11 would probably still happen though, so you know, can't win em all. But hey, she could save JFK from being assassinated! Tell Lennon to wear a bullet proof vest! Tell Jim Morrison to ease up on the drinking! Tell Gandhi to... no wait... no, I think he was already dead when they were kids, it starts in the 1950s, right? Pretty sure Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated in 1949 or so. Ooo! She could tell whoever was behind Super Mario Bros. The Movie to fuck off and not to make that movie! Also that the game for ET will be too rushed and will fail horribly. Oh dear, the Rwandan Genocide, she might be able to get the UN to actually get up and do something instead of leaving it all to one Canadian dude. Around 8000 people murdered a day for about 100days. Nearly 1,000,000 individuals in just over 3 months. Fucked up that so little effort was spent on that, but oh no, three planes crash into three American buildings, best make the world spiral into debt so we can lose a war with a country that the Soviet Union lost to in the 80s! Yup! Then there's those big, scary WMD's that the Bush Administration were fear mongering about, only to find out that there WERE none! That's all after Jumanji though, which I think was around 1995, so can't really be helped by Ms. Nostradamus or Mr.Bear Grylls... who names their kid Bear?

I thought for sure they were gonna say “no one knows for sure what happened to Soren, he kinda just disappeared”

Katie's grumpy-face is downright adorable.

The animal house one didn't have a large enough scope. If you include "became a powerful part of military appropriations process" he can become the antagonist of a Vietnam era movie, where Neidermeyer continues to question the orders he receives, ultimately discovering he is a pawn in a vast conspiracy centered around Bluto, who desperate to keep his power, has him killed by his own men.

Is it just me or did that lady with the puppy look like Diane from BoJack Horseman?

Katie's facial expression from 6:07 to 6:21 : HIlarious

"In the jungle, you must wait 'til the dice read five or eight." JUMANJI! This was one of After Hours best answers.

I only subscribe to this channel for after hours.

After Hours is seriously your best show. Keep it up, please \o/

Law and Order: Harry Potter. Hermione is a lawyer, Ron and Harry are the buddy cops fighting dark wizards.

Katie's epilogue was brilliant :'-)

Harry Potter is obvious - the capture and trials of left over death eaters, the changes that happen in the Great Britain wizarding world, new authority figures at Hogwarts and the ministry of magic, who hooks up with who... the rumours of moldy shorts coming back,

FINALLY! This is the only series Cracked makes that I enjoy. MORE!

Jay and Silent Bob stike back started as an epilogue from mallrats

These still hold up all these years later. I miss Cracked classic

Also I'd have liked to see the aftermath of tron legacy. Where that chick they pulled from the digital world realises she now bleeds once a month, doesn't have a driving license or passport, has to deal with the fact that she'll die, has to find out that people actually listen to glen beck. Going from a sweet digital world where outfits are rad, to living where people fight over who's imaginary friend in the sky is the real one...that shit would blow...hard. And animals! She'd be living in constant fear of these insane, nonsensical semi-sentient creatures just battering about the place. People take being able to know how to interact with a dog for granted. You selfish fuckers.* *I really need to sleep and/or get a new job.

😁 River Phoenix drifting on the weekends! That's gold! I love this show.

In Jumanji when they go back to being kids with all knowledge of 'future events' just having that knowledge would be a factor not present in the old timeline also the timelines would diverge more and more as time went on with probably only the big events staying the same. a few factors that are different in the new timeline are: (I know characters are called Alan and Sarah but i will refer to them as boy and girl) - No missing young boy (not being sucked into game) - The girl has no psychological trauma of seeing boy being sucked into game resulting in no therapist visits, therapist then has space to see someone else in the time girl was seen - No police investigation for missing child - Boy will take a job which was probably filled by someone else in old timeline - Girl is not seen as crazy by others - All people boy&girl interact with which they wouldn't have in old timeline because boy was stuck in game and the girl was a shut-in - maybe a different fate for boys fathers company due to no missing child that is all i can think of for now as i have not seen Jumanji in about 4-5 years By Sp1kle

I know this is a little overdue, but i can think of at least two: -The end shots of Stephen King's Christine, where part of Christine's grille twitches. And, at the end of Loaded Weapon 1, where the the characters detectives luger and colt actually say, "Sequel" just before getting in their car.

Anyone else think that the sex joke at the end better suits Michael than Soren? Anyone?

I like when Katie gets a mad and yells

Yay a proper After Hours.

I watched this an embarrassing number of times before noticing the "Stinky and the Brain" cover. Perfect!

What about wall-e or Monsters inc.? in the first we would have like a more massive version of night of the living dead, humans not only learning to work together but also trying to figure out how to use their bodies,all that with possibly tragic consequences. An Monsters inc. Sully dealing with the whole change in the infrasructure of the world they live in, riots and people holding back to the new energy source, maybe terrorists, damn! i want that movie!

you should do After Hours weekly, it's the best sketch you guys have.

Eh the best part of Jumanji is when he makes up with his father.

Nobody has ever depicted my experience trying to navigate friendships and social situations as well as Katie just did.

I kinda always want the epilogue sequel, to everything, I may watch to many movies... I'm lonely.

One of the best After Hours I've ever seen. Brilliant!

Keep up with the After Hours, not the other stuff and PLEASE STOP mixing with CinemaSins!

After Hours is the best show Cracked has!! Please do more!! For the fans? Please? Oh and she looks beautiful with that hairstyle btw

Yes! More after Hours!

HOLY SHIT! I'd never seen or even heard of the Wire when I saw this episode. So rewatching it now blew my mind when Soren went "Where is Bertrum, Stringer?" and followed up with D shouting it to Stringer from the Wire. My mind is blown right now. I'd only watched the Wire about 6 months ago.

I would love a Bridge of Spies sequel based on the epilogue.

By far the best videos are the After Hours! I wish you guys did more of that ^^ Congrats on the always great job :)

Burtram disappeared with D-Day (was never seen again as well) from Animal House

That last line killed it!

Damn, I forgot this video was about sequels to movie that had EPILOGUES but I'll throw mine out there anyway. I just watched Predators and thought it was done really well. Well enough that I would love to see a sequel where Royce (Adrien Brody) and Isabelle (idk know the actresses name) by the end of Predators, have to deal with the new "prey" that were just airdropped onto the planet with what looked like supply crates. To go down Michael's sex driven thought process on how plots should go, here's the next sequel. Immediately after the events in Predators, Royce and Isabella bang. And the newly arrived humans, which consists higher female to male ratio for once all start to bang. The planets super oxygenated atmosphere and unique biology as a result from countless deadly species being literally dropped onto the planet has enabled Isabella and the other females to produce super strong and deadly children. What seems like 18 years go by, and Royce, Isabella and all the others are constantly banging and producing fast growing warrior babies (in the case of Royce, all with giant noses). This all occurs because the Predators are having a civil war and suspend most of the hunting events. When the predators finally resume the hunt on the planet, they show up to find a clan of super prepared bad ass mutant humans. Now that is a plot to an awesome movie! ...... Alas no one will read this far.....

He healed sick rhinos with the power of laughter lmaooo

Nice Phoenix wright referance at the lawyer wearing a blue suit and a red tie.

Katie is freaking adorable! I wanna marry her and have her babies. That being said, The Goonies. Why didn't The Goonies have an Epilogue? It was the perfect movie to include one. Just about everyone in that movie was a likable character that you would have wanted to at least know what happened to them after the adventure they went on. did Chunk's parents really agree to let Sloth live with them? Were the Gems enough to buy all of their houses back? They just dumped out one little marble bags worth of gems and said Fuck you guys, we're keeping our houses. Did Mouth get with that chick from Raising Hope? Does Chunk (being well into his 40's or so still have to do the Truffle Shuffle just to get invited into his friends house?

I noticed about 10 other comments that have said this already but I'm gonna say it again. I actually subscribed to Cracked because of AfterHours. Spent a whole weekend watching all the AfterHours episodes and then... nothing for months! WTF???

the jumanji idea is actually incredible

If Robin Williams tells the parents not to go on the ski trip then the kids never move to the house with the Jumanji game. That means Robin Williams is never released. Which means none of the the movie can ever happen so he can't go back to being a little kid. That means he doesn't interfere with the parents so they do go on the trip. Which sets the movie in motion. Basically what I'm saying is that the ending of Jumanji created a paradox that hurts my brain.

You should do an After Hours about parts of movies that are barely mentioned but would make more interesting movies than what we got. Might I suggest Jurassic Park 3? A movie about how an elementary school aged boy survived for months, alone without survival training, food, equipment, without sustaining any serious injuries or being eaten by the freaking dinosaurs that live on the island would have made a MUCH better movie than what we got.

The Sandlot DID have a sequel... Don't. Ever. Watch. It. It's bad. Really freaking bad. The Sandlot is such a great movie that it never needed a sequel. Especially when the sequel is the exact same plot as the original, but with different characters. It's that lazy.

We know what happened to Robin Williams's character from Jumanji. Its the same thing that happened to all the other Robin Williams characters: he got Crazy Guggenheim Disease and picked the "Opening Theme to "M*A*S*H*“ option. Nanu nanu!

How about the Matrix? I mean they could have made great sequels after this movie. Too bad they never made any, never. Because it the Matrix is a standalone movie and they never made any... No it didn't happen, shutup, SHUTUP!!!

"What would you say to kids who are thinking of partying when their parents are away" "Get me to do it for you" Young man, you win at local news

In the Stand By Me stabbing cartoon in this, they accidentally created Diane Nguyen from Bojack Horseman.

Katie Willert and I make the same face when we're excited that we won something.
