The credits of the film appear and it is the signal to get up from your seat and leave… Or not. Marvel has spoiled us so that, in addition to its two-and-a-half hour long movies, we sit a while longer watching names go by, so as not to miss its famous post-credit scenes.
Many times reveal interesting details or where the shots are going to go in future films, while in other cases they are simple additions without much value that you could have saved us.
In fact, ever since Marvel’s first post-credits scene appeared in their first movie, Hombre de Hierro (2008), now we must be even more attentive, because they usually include two.
However, the first movie in history to include post-credits scenes it has nothing to do with superheroes and it is quite old.
What was the first movie to include a post-credits scene?
that first movie it was mufflers (the silencers), from 1966.
Starring the legendary Dean Martin, he plays Matt Helm, a daytime photographer and retired secret agentwho is convinced by his former agency, ICE, to investigate evil enemy agent Tung-Tze.
He intends to launch a missile at an atomic testing site and start a nuclear war. Based on a book by Dan Hamiltonis a kind of 007, where the womanizing and trigger-happy agent (the title refers to the silencers of the pistols) ends up disrupting the evil plans of his enemy.
Action comedy and espionage, Dean Martin navigates through a sea of bullets and women, and that is precisely what the post-credits scene is about.
What is the first post-credit scene in film history like?
The film, heavy on alcohol and scantily clad girls, ends with Dean Martin kissing Stella Stevens, who plays the role of Gail Hendricks, a possible enemy agent who will come to his aid.
The two are in a round bed and it begins to move, until it reaches a pool, where they both fall and everything culminates in a kiss drenched in water and foam.
However, as were other times and Martin, a member of the famous Rat Pack in real life, he had a reputation to maintain, right away the credits begin. Within a few seconds, the revolving round bed appears again, in which Dean Martin appears surrounded by a large group of women in underwear.
The bed spins and Martin kisses them while the title of the next film is announced., Murderers Rowin which we anticipate the new adventures of Matt Helm.
Indeed, there would be 3 more movies of the adventures of the former agentin addition to a 1970 series, already with Tony Franciosa as the protagonist, instead of Dean Martin.
As you can see, the first post-credits scene in history is already 56 years old and without a doubt it was a reflection of other times.
