I mean, it might not have fit in terms of The Prestige being a period flick, but it didn't bother me like, say, My Chemical Romance's weak-ass attempt at an 80s punk cover of "Desolation Row" to close out Watchmen. Not only was it not 80s punk, even if it did feel 80s punk, a hard rock song wouldn't have fit during/directly after such a dark ending.
I'm not even that huge a fan of Watchmen, but My Chemical Romance's cover of "Desolation Row" has become my measuring stick for bad end credits songs. And The Prestige/"Analyse" doesn't even make a blip on the bad-credits-song radar.

HIGHLY agreed, thanks for reminding me. That one is the worst piece of end title music ever. Everything else of music in that film was just soo fine. I enjoyed the comic massivly back in the day and I must say Snyder did a fantastic job translating Watchmen to film. The 3hour30 cut is real sweet.
