DVDs with Alternate Endings
« on: Mar 22, 2002 at 06:18 PM »
I'm fairly new w/ dvds.  My impression of dvd before is that it contains alternate endings.  Now I know that features varies from one dvd to another.  I've read that some have alternate endings but it also indicates that it can only be viewed if you're using a dvd-rom drive.  Is this true for all?  Till now, I have yet to see a movie w/ an alternate ending.  Just curious, I guess.  :)

Wifey has a DVD of "What Dreams May Come" which has an alternate ending.  This special feature runs on a DVD player. :)  With this movie, I prefer the alternate ending more than the conclusion in the theatrical release.  But that's just me. ;)

Btw, "Forces of Nature" also has an alternate ending.

Hello Sansrival! Welcome to PinoyDVD! Not all DVDs have alternate endings although many of them do. It really depends on the producer of the DVD or the director if they want to put an alternate ending to the movie on the disc, if they shot one at all, that is.

Here are some of my discs with alternate endings:

Die Hard With a Vengeance Special Edition
Notting Hill Ultimate Edition
T2 Ultimate Edition
Lethal Weapon 4
(alternate ending to the first film)
Lost Horizon
Gattaca
(sort of)


I think I have more but I don't remember now.

Ronin also has an extended alternate ending.

A Perfect Murder has an alternate ending.

The upcoming Fatal Attraction has the original ending of the film (the one without the Glenn Close-in-the-bathroom scene). Much nicer, IMHO.

Joy Ride is amazing as far as alternate endings go. It actually has THREE alternate endings, and the first one actually changes the ENTIRE last 1/3 of the movie, and it feels like a totally different film.

I'm disappointed that My Best Friend's Wedding came out on Special Edition, and they still didn't include the alternate ending with John Corbett and the singing waiters. Good thing I still have my VHS tape of that.  :)

Vertigo has one of the most famous alternate endings.

Se7en has an alternate ending, with storyboard explanations. I refer to the New Line Platinum Series version.

Others I seem to recall have alternate endings:
The Game
A Perfect Murder

if your really into alternate endings
i'd also recommend seeing

Sliding Doors (1998) w/ Gwyneth Paltrow
or
Twice Upon a Yesterday (1999)
w/ penelope cruz, a British film along the lines of Sliding Doors
or
Run Lola Run (1999) its basically a 15 minute German film but it stretches to 81 minutes w/ all the what-if scenarios...geez i even got tired, seeing lola run ! ::)

just think of these... as films w/ super extended alternate endings ;)

Komikero, tanx for the welcome! :)

It's nice to know that there are some alternate endings that I can view thru my dvd player.  From the lists you gave, maybe I'll get to watch one soon.  Tanx. :)

I think for both.

Yeah with Army of Darkness here are the detailed alternate endings (spoiler):

1. First one was he was zoom forth in time were he is only the living person around

2. Second was at the shopping center.. I believe he was zoomed back to present

pretty woman and willy wonka, although the alternate ending is not shown on the dvd, the director's commentary talks about how the original ending got changed.

Hi Ann07,
Did you notice in the ending scene of the theatrical release, just before Ethan Hawke got off the his car, you could see another car behind him.

They only showed who was in this other car in the alternate ending scene.

Adding Bio Zombie to this thread

The alternate ending for this HK is  a little bit gruesome than the theatrical ending. Both still is a sad ending.

In the Mood for Love has two alternate endings. More accurately, one extended ending and one completely different one.

Both are involving, indeed all the deleted scenes are. The stars wished director Wong Kar-Wai hadn't cut the extended ending. I must say I agree with the director's decision to end the film just like he did. More powerful that way.

Have to add:

Not Another Teen Movie has an alternate ending among its 18 deleted scenes featured on the disc. It seems they got that "special guest star from the 1980s" at the last minute, since the original ending doesn't feature that guest star. They reshot the entire thing, to a much more satisfying result, IMHO.

"The Center of the World", starring Molly Parker, also has alternate endings. Their difference from the actual ending is, IMHO, very subtle, though. The director's commentary for these alternate endings is quite helpful in understanding the story better.

That is a bummer.  :o I watched Joy Ride via the R3 rental dvd FROM our nearest video shop. AND I WAS ENTHRALLED FROM BEGINNING TO ENDS. But there were no alternate endings. I would really love to see this.

Finally, I've seen a dvd with an alternate ending.  I just recently watched Someone Like You and it has one.  Overall, it seems like the same ending to me, though there were a few scenes added and a change of location for the final scene.  Though I've seen also Terminator 2 and Run Lola Run which were also mentioned in this thread, I only consider it as an extended scene and the other a movie by itself, respectively, and not as alternate endings.

actually, when i started the topic, i was thinking of the thread as "dvds with alternate endings as one of the special features".  but you know what, bently, i believe your reply wherein you mentioned Run Lola Run was one of the reasons i actually got interested in it (never heard of it before) and i eventually ended up ordering it (one of my first R1s) from benny.   tanx!  :)
