For those who didn't like Richard Chance being shot in the face, here is the alternate ending the studio insisted they film.
I think the director was right to leave it the way it was.

Thanks to Friedkin's ending this movie is memorable unlike dozens of cop-buddy-action movies from the 80's...
shareAbsolutely made the right call. It was a shocker and, IMO, raised the stakes for the audience yet again.
Chance was constantly taking crazy risks and it caught up to him. It also evolved Vukovich's character to essentially become "the next Chance" in the end.
I so love this movie...

shareGreat movie, very good book.
Thanks for the link, I had no idea that they filmed an alternate ending.
I prefer the ending they went with.
