Alternate ending... What do ya think?

Ok, it says Luc's parents are fake, and Doctor gregor brings a few soldiers and shoots Luc to death.

IMO, it sounds interesting... I mean, his parents are fake?! Would've loved to see this, for Luc's reaction.

wow! I never knew that! that would have been an extremely eerie and unnerving ending - - - thanks for the link!





Come to me! I vant to schtatt!

It's on the special edition DVD It's pretty horrible in my position and am glad they changed it to what it is now

reply

Yeah, I gotta agree with you. Glad they didnt use that ending. It would suck to see Luc just get shot up, after beating the snot outta GR13. AFTER finding out his parents are fake?... Nah, wouldnt work.

reply

i own the Special Edition DVD. its the DUMBEST alternate ending I've ever seen. ever. its one of those typical "maybe we can learn to blah blah blah" endings to a sci-fi movie. pure garbage. i love the whole original movie, however. pure awesomeness.

Hunting season is over.

He should be dead....He was a corpse!!!! Did anyone had any problem with him having a normal life while being DEAD???
He should have died in the ending...it's the natural way.....

Yeah, thanks for posting the link man!

WOW WHAT-A-CRAPPY-ENDING!!

Luc takes like 60 bullets, and they spray him with a fire extinquisher or "coolant" whatever, and he's alive again? LOL Whoa.

What a waste of time of making that ending to...the fight was WAY too short in it.

Your Welcome

thanks for sharing
like everyone else i'm glad they stuck with the other ending...BTW, what happens to Scott in this ending? he disappears when Luc's dad appears?

reply

That ending was a waste of time!

reply

i don't mind that the dr. was a traitor, i don't mind that luc dies. what bothers me about the ending is how would luc not know who his real parents are? plus i didnt like how the reporter girl just was there reporting as she watches luc dies. i know she acts like she's sad. but it just didnt feel right.

reply

I have to admit. I didnt care for the alternative ending either. Liked the other ending alot better.

reply

Thanks for the link, Trooper 1.

"...Luc Deveraux was truly an extraordinary human being. He will be missed."


LMAO!!!

I couldn't stop laughing for almost ten minutes after watching this. I'm glad they didn't use it.

EDIT: Especially that stiff voice over by Ally Walker during the last 60 seconds was comedy at its best.


Who are they? And what do they want?

reply

well that was awful! the entire fight scene was cut...now either the person who uplaoded the video edited the video OR the editors were pure rubbish wen they made that ending!

reply

I think the uploader edited it. That way we only got to see what was different in comparison to the theatrical release. I'm sure the fight itself would've been the same.

It was. The alternate ending picks up just after the fight concludes.

No.

The fight was shorter originally, they did test screenings, changed the end and did some re-shoots to make the final fight longer.

reply

From what I have read, this sounds like it was a *beep* ending, and would have ruined the movie. Certainly glad they didn't use it as they had intended.

reply

its probably the worst alternate ending ive ever seen.

reply

Worst alternate ending I ever saw was for Clerks...Dante getting shot dead by someone robbing the Quick Stop...glad Kevin Smith kept the upbeat ending instead.

Yes, you're right and I was wrong. The commentary tells us exactly where and how the fight scene was extended.

That ending is horrible. It's just way too violent and mean-spirited. I much prefer the one we ended up with.

"I want Tong Po! Give me Tong Po!"

reply

it sucks but the setup for the Shotgun finally gets a Payoff.

RoboCop: Dead or alive, you're coming with me.


reply

LOL what a idiotic ending they start shooting him and then the cops just show up and arrest him? Wouldn't the doctors have been smarter? Why wouldn't he recognize that that wasn't his real dad?

reply

Haha that was really awful, almost like a parody from the Simpsons.

reply

I couldn't see it because Youtube says "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation."

But what about Veronica? Did they kill her too? And according to the pictures Scott scares a child in the supermarket. I would have loved to see that. LOL
