Original Endings

A scene was filmed for Doctor Strangelove where the end of the world was symbolised by a custard pie fight in the war room. It wasn’t used however as director Stanley Kubrick felt it was too jovial.

Sylvester Stallone’s original script for Rocky ended with his character throwing the fight with Apollo Creed, earning money by taking a dive... which he uses to open up a pet-shop with Adrian.

The original ending of Clerks sees Dante killed by an armed robber.

Originally, Thelma and Louise safely land their car having driven over the cliff. It suffers no damage and they happily make their way into the distance.

Not only was Julia Roberts’ character addicted to drugs in the original draft of Pretty Woman, but the film also ended with Richard Gere abandoning her whilst she crouches on the floor in floods of tears.

In the first audience previews of Ice Age, the character of Diego died. However, so many children burst into tears when they found this out that the studio demanded an additional scene in which we find out he survives.

Thankfully, the original ending for Terminator 2 didn’t make it into the cinema release. In it, we see Sarah Connor as an old lady in the park, with a voiceover saying how “August 29 th 1997 came and went, nothing much happened. Michael Jackson turned 40.”

One proposed ending from Freddy vs. Jason was that they would destroy each other, and end up in hell together, where Pinhead from Hellraiser would appear, saying “Gentlemen, now what seems to be the problem?”

An early draft of Return of the Jedi saw Han Solo die and Luke so troubled by his final encounter with Darth Vader that he quits fighting with the rebels.

In Little Shop of Horrors, a scene where the giant plant eats Seymour and his girlfriend then destroys New York was actually filmed - but audiences didn’t like it and so the ending we see now was filmed instead.
