Crazy Credits

In the opening credits, Johnny Depp's name appears in capital letters,
followed by the title - both of them alternating in black and white, as
though being illuminated by lightning - and the rest of the main cast are
credited on tombstones. Supporting cast and crew names appear in white
against dark, rainy sets featuring meant-to-look-low-budget effects such as
a giant tentacle and flying saucers in outer space. See more »
