Yeah, sure . <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />There is an alernate, original, ending on the disc, however, and it is possible to interpret it as "a clear winner" sort of thing.  The alternate ending goes like this:[spoiler]Monica Keena, a.k.a. the terribly untalented lead actress, and her boyfriend finally decide to have sex.  They start and he immediately begins to get rough.  She tells him to stop, he sits up and raises his hand in the air, "Freddy" claws grow out of his fingers, she screams, he slashes, and credits start.  If we put that together with the final fight, we have Freddy and Jason going into the water and then the love scene/nightmare.  You can sort of view it as Freddy winning because we never see Jason again.  The ending was cut because audiences reacted badly to it.  Supposedly, they were confused as to whether the guy was possessed by Freddy or that the girl will become pregnant with Freddy's baby, but I think they didn't like it simply because it's a pretty bad ending.  The last thing they wanted to see was more of Keena's bad acting.  Plus, the scene is pretty laughable because Keena refused to do nudity and is wearing a bra under her nightie.  A huge, black bra.  It looks flat out idiotic.  Women don't wear industrial-sized bras under their nightgowns. [/spoiler]Most of the scenes cut were cut because they didn't add anything.  They were just filler clipped out for time reasons (do we really need to see the girls driving to the rave or the people walking up stairs?).  The ending and beginning (yes, there's an alternate beginning) are the only things cut that were drastically different.  As I said, the original ending kind of sucked and I'm glad it was axed.  However, the original beginning was, imho, much better that the way the film begins now.The way the movie starts now is with Freddy talking to the camera about how he's forgotten.  We then see the girl skinny dipping.  We introduce Jason and she is killed.  The original drops the Freddy narration and begins with a Friday the 13th homage.  The skinny dipping girl originally had much more footage revolving around her.  She's a camp councelor, sneaking out to meet her boyfriend, leaving the kids unattended.  It then goes to the skinny dipping from the movie, however, after she hears something, she runs back to the camp instead of into the woods, but the kids won't let her back in.  She then runs into the woods like the movie.The only thing I would have changed would be cutting out the part of her running back into the camp.  It's an all-around better beginning than the Freddy narration because the plot is explained two or three more times in the film anyway.  There's also an Easter Egg on disc 2 with the filmmmakers explaining another ending which was never shot involving a giant cgi water hand because it would have been too expensive.  It would also have been stupid, but that's just my opinion.  Too much like the bursting dam cheat ending of Frankentein Meets The Wolfman. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />All said, I do love the movie.  Watching it is like King Kong Vs Godzilla all over again for me.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
