Ending


I saw this movie back around 1981, back in the dark days, when VCR's were still pretty new, it came on a tv station late at night, i set up the VCR to tape it, but i missed the last 20 minutes or so, just wondered how it ended. Did Pacino's charachter die ?

ok , i think this is what happened , she got done for selllign some pills so she was looking at 2 - 3 inside unless she ratted on pacino she did he gets arrested he comes out after x amount of time and she starts following him down the street

the end

"thats where i wanna be , smoking on the beach "

The ending isn't very good, it's very sudden. But hey, they had to end it eventually sometime.

I would have been pleased if the movie never ended. Heh heh.

I actually loved how the ending was. It was the exact opposite of a traditional Hollywood film, where everything is neatly wrapped up. The abrupt ending fit the tone of the film greatly.

Rachy-Rach, thats what we call an anticlimactic ending.
