Some movies leave us wanting to see more of the characters, to enjoy more of the story. We think "If only this movie would never end!' Fortunately, they end when they do.
Warning: Movie Spoilers Ahead.
1. Star Wars
With the Death Star destroyed, Princess Leia awards medals to Luke and Hans for their heroism.
The extra 10 minutes:
But as they turn to the admiring crowd, Chewbacca realizes that he was screwed out of a medal despite doing just as much as Solo. When he turns to ask Leia why the oversight, she just gives him a patronizing pat on the head and a Beggin’ Strip. Hurt, angry and riddled with heartworms due to years without proper medical coverage, Chewbacca howls in agony and lunges for the crowd, tearing open their necks with his teeth. The attacked then start turning into more Wookies as we learn Chewbacca’s terrible secret—he is actually a werewolf and it’s only a matter of time before the entire rebel base succumbs to the dreaded disease.
2. Inception
When Cobb finally reunites with his children he spins his deceased wife’s totem, a top, to see if it is real. But then he wanders off to greet his family and the camera zooms in closer and closer on the top until...
The extra 10 minutes:
...we suddenly cut to another scene and realize the movie was all the top’s dream. The top then looks around the toy chest to make sure he’s back in reality when suddenly we cut to Leonardo DiCaprio waking up from his dream thanks to the shock of the arctic water after the Titanic sank. This goes on and on until director Christopher Nolan wakes up from his dream with the idea for “Inception” and we watch him type the entire script on the screen.
3. The Dark Knight
Accepting the blame for Harvey Dent’s actions in order to keep the district attorney’s good name alive, Batman escapes on his batpod a fugitive from justice.
The extra 10 minutes:
Batman goes from town to town, staying one step ahead of the law and getting odd jobs while wearing a fake mustache over his mask. But then he remembers that no one knows Bruce Wayne is actually Batman and so returns to Gotham to resume his old life. But back home he is apprehended by the police, who not only realized the Batcave phone line belonged to an unimaginatively named “Wayne Bruce” but all of Bruce’s online accounts had the same password—“batman1.”
4. E.T
E.T. says his goodbyes to Elliot and enters the spaceship, leaving behind a rainbow in the sky as he blasts off for his home planet.
The extra 10 minutes:
Inside E.T. greets his fellow crew members, has a bite to eat from the ship’s pantry, checks up on some old mail and phone calls. Then he get down to business! He puts on a lab coat and goggles, picks up a laser saw and walks into the lab, where he resumes performing experimental surgeries, dissections and cross-breeding attempts with the Richard Dreyfuss character the spaceship picked up at the end of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
5. Avatar
With all the humans dismissed from Pandora, the Na’vi perform the ritual that permanently transfers Jake Sully from his human body into his avatar.
The extra 10 minutes:
But immediately afterwards he gets a message from Earth saying they found a way to cure his paralysis. And his twin brother is still alive. And he won three different Powerball drawings. And he needs to get back on set to film the sequels to “Clash of the Titans” and “Terminator 4.” And so the film ends with Jake looking out at his new home planet’s sunset, wondering if a ten-foot tall blue skinned humanoid could somehow cash a lottery check and get on a closed film set without I.D.
6. Toy Story 3
With Andy off to college, Woody and the other toys now find themselves in the care of a little girl named Bonnie.
The extra 10 minutes:
Unfortunately, like any three-year-old, Bonnie systematically loses all her new toys on car trips, around the neighborhood and in yawning chasms after attaching them to parachutes she made out of bakery string and used Baby Wipes. And so the credits roll as we see each of the now alone characters by the side of the road, under a patio or trapped inside a discarded vacuum cleaner bag, talking louder and angrier to themselves as they lose their minds due to crippling loneliness.
7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2
Harry, Ron and Hermione proudly watch their children leave for Hogwarts.
The extra 10 minutes:
But then Potter experiences a shooting pain up his arm and the taste of copper in his mouth. He then drops to the floor from a heart attack as Hermione quickly tries to revive him. But it’s been years since she’s studied magic and can’t remember any of the spells correctly, accidentally turning Harry into an ottoman. This leaves Ron to try a Muggle cure his father once incorrectly read about, in which the patient is buried six feet under until the “bad heart demons” suffocate and die. And so Potter once more finds himself in heaven with Dumbledore, who spends the rest of eternity resting his feet on his friend the footstool.
8. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
The extra 10 minutes:
Just for the hell of it Michael Bay blows up New York City. Then the moon. Then his film crew.
