Just got done watching this on TV and didn't remember the ending at all. When I read the plot synopsis on IMDB I remembered the ending I saw.
How many endings are there?
Apparently there are 2.
Witch one you like best?
I just got done watching it and I don't remember the ending being different. What was the other different ending?
shareRead the FAQ section about the three different versions. The theatrical version had her escape from the helicopter and jump into the Potomac River.
shareYes, last night on FX chanel and when I watched it a while back, she escaped by jumping out of the helicopter and into the river, like you just said. I've never seen a different ending than this good one. I was asking about how the other endings were, not the one last night.
shareHeres how the one I saw went:
(Obviously a spoiler)
When her husband is killed Salt does NOT kill Orlov. At the end of the movie she is arrested and taken to jail. Peabody visits her and asks why she killed Ted Winters. She mentions having certain teeth and says she did it so he couldn't do it himself. She then obviously bites down (implying that she has a poison capsul implanted in her teeth). Peabody immediately reacts and gets her to a hospital. Once there in the ER she kicks some butt and escapes. She then goes to Orlov and kills him, ultimately dumping his body in the river (I believe she shot the ring off of his hand while he was alive).
It kinda leaves it less open for a sequel.
Oh wow!! This is so different!! I like the ending jumping out of the helicopter. I would love to see a sequel..
shareThere are the three endings, and two with the helicopter. Below he described the Extended Edition ending, with the Orlov revenge at the end. In the Theatrical version she bails out of the helicopter. In the Director's Cut, she bails out, and it shows her running, while a voice-over from the news says that the official story is she died. But, it implies that the new president of the US is a Russian agent. Not sure which of the helicopter endings you saw.
sharei dunno but when i saw the movie i remember her blowing up the school in russia where she grew up, which ending is that :O?
shareI think thats the one they showed on FX tonight... when she faked her suicide, busted out the hospital to Russia, killed Orlov and drowned him (in revenge for her husband) and bombed the school.
There's a party in my tummy!
I've only seen one "ending", but was surprised watching it on HBO recently to see the badies shoot her husband to test her loyalty. In the theatrical version that I've seen numerous times they have him bound and gagged in a water tank, then they fill it up and he drowns while she watches. What did they think, that was too brutal for "family" viewers? Just shoot him instead LOL

Have seen the movie 3 times since it was released and have only ever seen the TE with the sequel ending, but never seen the husband drowned, only shot.
There are three different endings. The big screen release ending leaves the sequel option open while the other two dont plus the president gets killed in the directors cut. Check out this for the differences http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=660092

At least 2, and I think 3. The writer/director/producer/casting director should all be sent to Siberia for stooooopidity.
Diving out of a moving helicopter ( with hand cuffs ) into The Potomac River in wintertime from a helicopter ( without a wetsuit or a life preserver , or helmet ) would paralyze ( or drown ) most Olympic divers. And the chase helicopter was unable to see her ... even though they had a flood light...
😝
Another part that is different is that in one version the Russky Orlov ( actually Soviets ) in a N.Y./N.J. dockyard shoot her husband in front of her. Another version they have him tied up below deck and flood the compartment and she watches him drown. 😖
Good stunt people , with much 'action' ... but horrible casting. On what planet would a good looking gal like her ( Evelyn Salt ) marry a dorky looking spider scientist ?!? What day would the real "C.I.A." allow a dorky clown-face idiot that plays 'Agent Peabody' to be anything more that a mailroom attendant ?
In the version which has the ending take place in the compound in Russia ... she ( Salt ) sneaks in after faking her death in a F.B.I./U.S. Gov. hospital... and dresses like a Russian Orthodox nun ... in a Communist Soviet walled training compound...
IMO - a much better movie about Soviet deep cover spies/agents in "Telephon" with Charles Bronson & Lee Remick.
