[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 2750092, member: 3649"] I just watched the director's cut of The Butterfly Effect last night, and I enjoyed it a great deal. Only after I put the movie back in the mailer do I find out that the Theatrical Version (also on the same disk) has a totally different ending. IMDB says that the original ending (appearing on the Director's Cut) tested 'too negative' and was re-done. (After reading the synopsis, I would have to say that the Director's Cut version is a much more powerful ending.) Same with Final Destination 1; the alternate ending in that case, though, was longer and not nearly as powerful or spooky as the theatrical ending. Now, thanks to DVDs we can see all these alternate endings. But which truly change the storyline? Which are different [I]enough [/I] to count and seek out? You tell me! Please use spoilers, even if it's an older film. [I]Clue [/I] does not count :) BTW For Butterfly Effect: [spoiler] Evan sets up the projector, only the home movie he sees is his own birth. He time travels back into his yet-to-be-born body and commits suicide by cutting off the flow in his umbilical cord. He's never born. His mom is devestated, but soon is happy again after she adopts Tommy and Kayleigh when the courts take them away from their abusive family. Lenny is shown happy and trauma-free with them. Kayleigh marries well, Tommy gives the Valadictorian speech at his graduation. It's a reverse 'It's a Wonderful Life': everyone has a much happier and healthier existance since Evan is never born.
