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.


Can you please tell me what is the alternate ending of Nothing Hill? What is the difference from the original.

Thanks.

Notting Hill alternate ending:

The resto has reopened, and the friends are having dinner. Some diners are coming to the table to ask Anna (Julia Roberts) to sign autographs.

Max asks William (Hugh Grant), how is life in the fast lane? William says it has its ups and downs, but if you love the girl, it's all worth it in the end. Will and Anna kiss.

Will asks, does that answer your question? They laugh.

Probably not an alternate ending, but I got a bit pissed off when Tom Twyker's THE WARRIOR AND THE PRINCESS explained the ambiguous ending of the story. Although it was meant for film appreciation and was not meant to douse the enthusiasm of people who already made their ending, it came right after the credits, so there was no choice but to watch it.

Other than that, the film is fab!

It's normally specified as an Alternate Ending in the Special Features list as stated at the back cover of the DVD case.

Not necessarily.  When you click 'Play Movie' on the menu, the DVD will play the version as seen in theaters (that's usually the case).  Then you can view the alternate ending separate from the rest of the entire movie by going to the Special Features section. :)

Try donnie darko.  It has extended scenes and another view of the ending.  Don't want to describe it because it will spoil everything.

mas maganda ang alternate ending ng Fatal Attraction

Fatal Attraction
Cast: Michael Douglas, Gleen Close, Anne Archer, Ellen Hamilton Latzen, Stuart Pankin, Ellen Foley, Fred Gwyne, Meg Mundy, Tom Brennan, Lois Smith, Mike Nussbaum and J.J. Johnston
Directed by: Adrian Lyne
Screenplay by: James Dearden and Nicholas Meyer
Studio: Paramount Home Video
Street Date: April 16, 2002
Running Time: 117 min
MPAA Rating: R

Synopsis:

Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas) goes playing in the Meat Packing District with Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) when his goody-two-shoes wife leaves for the weekend. Not one to be ignored, Alex goes psycho-bitch when the wife returns and Dan ends their affair. Sure, Alex may be little more than a bunny-boiling stalker and James Dearden's screenplay is rather unconcerned with the details of her psychosis but Fatal Attraction is still notable for Close's resilient, complex performance. There's no subtlety to Dearden's words ("If looks could kill," "I love animals," and "I'm a great cook") though Close creates a history's worth of bottled-up repression with her every gesture (the twitch of her lips, the deadness of her stare). Director Adrian Lyne is an underrated visualist. Here he does fabulous things with layers and Howard Atherton's anemic, unnerving soft-lighting, not to mention Puccini's Madame Butterfly. Still, without the film's original ending (where Alex's suicide was set to the opera), the musical reference is lost amidst the film's existing, audience-pleasing showdown between jilted fling and courageous wife. Fatal Attraction is less an all-encompassing comment on females in general than it is a startling reminder of Close's ability to give a physical face to the subtext of one woman's inner torment. While Alex's behavior seems possible, Lyne's fabulous camera crawls and Close's frozen stares have never been able to fully compensate for Dearden's shoddy attention to character history.

Image/Sound:

Though Paramount's transfer of Fatal Attraction is not without its fair share of scratches and blemishes, I love that the film still looks like a film. The softness of the film's visual palette remains unnervingly juxtaposed with the film's high drama. Sadly, sound design has come a long way since 1987 and Fatal Attraction suffers for that. Less successful than Maurice Jarre's operatic score is the film's noticeably flat, unexciting dialogue track and sound mix, which is better served on the disc's Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track.

Extras:

Fatal Attraction's alternate ending is finally out of the bag and it's proof positive that a film instantly compromises its artistic integrity when it panders to the whims of test audiences. The original, more anti-climactic ending makes it entirely too easy for Dan Gallagher to acquit himself by giving him a tape with Alex Forrest's suicidal confession on it. Still, in this more haunting finale, the spectator is forced to sympathize with Alex by watching her lonely death. Adrian Lyne's audio commentary is a tad redundant after listening to many of the disc's features yet it readily showcases the director's utmost respect for the acting process. Factoids abound (the Gallagher apartment was the same one used for 9 1/2 Weeks and some 18 takes were needed to get that cream cheese on Douglas's nose just right) but Lyne's commentary is most notable for his carefully paced dissection of the film's mise en scene (his interest in shooting through layers) and his humble acknowledgements of errors (the too-quick rack focus from Douglas to Close in the film's country home). The features on Paramount's Fatal Attraction DVD might as well begin and end with an outstanding feature called "Forever Fatal: Remembering Fatal Attraction. There isn't anything visually spectacular about this commemorative documentary but the producers have expertly crammed a film's entire history (from its inception to the social ramifications of its message) into a concise, 30-minute time frame. Admittedly, more important than where the film was born (from a James Darden short film on a not-yet-fatal attraction) is the spotlight on Close's approach to her role. Not only did Close do enough research to render her otherwise one-dimensional Alex a genuinely sympathetic portrait of female rage, Close herself voices her utmost contempt for having had to re-shoot the original ending for the existing, more audience-friendly one. A "Social Attraction" featurette explores the film's affront to feminism at the time of its release. The consensus amongst the film's actors and producers: Alex was never meant to represent every single career woman. "Visual Attraction" is a behind-the-scenes featurette that celebrates the film's fabulous make-up job (yes, Close's gaze is enough to raise the dead) and subtle costume work. Also available is the film's original theatrical trailer.
