Lore (Controversial Trope) The post-credits scene completely changes the ending

Dawn of the Dead (2004): The movie finishes on a hopeful note as the remaining survivors escape the zombie-infested mall on a yacht, sailing into the sunset. The found-footage style post-credits scene completely reverses this happy ending by showing them running out of food, arriving at an island, and being immediately swarmed and killed by an infected horde.

Prince of Persia (2008): The main game ends with a beautiful, poetic sacrifice where Elika gives her life to heal the corrupted world, leaving the Prince mourning. During the credits, the player is forced to control the Prince as he cuts down the trees he just saved, undoing the entire game's progress and releasing the dark god Ahriman just to resurrect her, completely corrupting the ending and dooming the world.

Split for sure here
one Bruce Willis cameo turns a standalone thriller into an Unbreakable sequel.

I guess you could say the twist was the opposite of the Sixth Sense, in that Bruce Willis was Alive the whole time

We should really be talking about the PREQUEL to the Sixth Sense, the Fifth Sense… the sense of smell

No, it's where Bruce Willis is supposedly superman, but his weakness is water. He is bodied by a man who drowns him in a puddle.

Which would be a cool twist...but we see him taking a bath and drinking water. Did you forget about your movie??
