Final scene from M. Knight Shyamalan's "Split" gets a special edit.
If you happened to see M. Night Shyamalan's latest film "Split," you'll recall the ending leaves viewers with a bit of a cliffhanger.
Bruce Willis, a Shyamalan favorite who didn't appear in the film until the final scene, makes an ominous cameo at a Philadelphia diner that strongly suggested "Split" would lead to another movie with links to the director's other supernatural thriller "Unbreakable"—and Shyamalan confirmed that's the case on Thursday.
It’s taken 17 years but I can finally answer the #1 question I get, “Are you making a f#&@ing sequel to Unbreakable or what?”

My new film is the sequel to #Unbreakable AND #Split. It was always my dream to have both films collide in this third film.

Now, if you didn't see "Split" and you know nothing about M. Night Shyamalan's movies, but you do live in Philadelphia, then at a minimum you know about Anthony Lloyd, the man who incessantly busts a move along the median of Spring Garden Street, just outside Silk City Diner at the corner of Fifth Street.
There's a mini-documentary about Lloyd on YouTube, if you've been wondering what the deal is with him.
In any case, a parodist on Vimeo decided to toy with the final scene in "Split," editing in a Lloyd cameo.
Most critics and viewers felt "Split" was a return to form for Shyamalan. This would have earned it that coveted fifth star. Lloyd's probably got more personality than all 23 of the guys packed into James McAvoy's character.
