I'm also wondering the total amount of people that have witnessed that scene.

Probably some poor sap who likes to stay for the whole credits sequence before some of the theater employees tell him to leave, but he'll be like "No, I like watching the credits!" and then throws a punch at one of them and miss by a long shot.  He'll probably be knocked to the ground from one light punch by the snot-nosed trainee and is quickly kicked out.

I learned that surprisingly final character death scenes can be totally ignored if the movie is successful enough to warrant a sequel.

I also learned that there actually CAN be a worse movie than Daredevil.  Apparently it's called "Elektra."

I also just learned that during the credits, there's a scene involving Bullseye, a hospital, and a fly on the wall.  I'm also wondering the total amount of people that have witnessed that scene.

Well, having read the comics, I was kind of on the lookout (Bullseye is also paralyzed, not killed, in the comics).

The Bullseye scene comes right after the full cast credits, and many people, like myself, make a habit of reading them. And Elektra was resurrected by ninja clan The Hand only 9 issues after she was killed in the comics, so nobody familiar with Daredevil believed for a second that she was dead in the movie.

Change "believed" to "cared," and I'm right there with ya.  :)

Ah, okay... the only Daredevil run that I really followed was Kevin Smith's and Bendis'. :)

That scene surprised me, though, because I've seen DD about three times, but never got that far in the credits.  I wonder how many other Marvel movies have a scene like that.  I know X3 does.

This was in the early 80's, toward the end of Frank Miller's first run on the title.

Ed Brubaker's current run is a worthy follow-up to Bendis' excellent reinvention of DD.

Those are the only two. There might be one in Elektra, but I've managed to wipe my brain clean of any memory of the movie. On a related note, the FF DVD has a fun/stupid variation of the scene of Reed inflating his chin to look more heroic where he morphs into Wolverine's face. I know it's just preliminary fx, but I can't imagine anyone thought it would've been a good idea to put it in the movie. There's also a great outtake on the first X-Men DVD that I don't quite remember how to find where the X-Men come running around a corner and a guy in a Spider-Man costume runs up behind them.

Unfortuantly, I don't think the boys were referencing Tom Waits with "Downtown Train". Rod Stewart made a cover of the the song and the video looked a lot like the scen in Daredevil. I would like to hope that they listen to Tom Waits since he is pretty darn cool (or that the video i saw was his version of the song and not Rod Stewarts).

But i learned a ver important thing from this rifftrax. Colin Ferrel is sober is an illogical statement.

I loathe him so much, i think that is why i listen to this riff the most (this one an eragon)

murdering annoying people sitting next to you on the airplane is as easy as a perfectly flicked piece of candy on the fold down tray.

(yes, I only just watched this one....)

I learned by Daredevil's own admission ("You killed the only two people I ever loved") that he never loved his mother.

Matt never know his mother. She ran off to join a convent shortly after giving birth and his father let him believe she was dead.

This movie had such potential. Mark Steven Johnson, you're on the list!
