I realize this is pretty vague, but I'll try to make it as clear as I can. I remember seeing a movie where, at the end, there were words on the screen that said how things eventually concluded. The last one was something like, "[some number of] people died the next year," as if there were some program going on (government or otherwise) that prevented murder but got shut down.

I had thought it was , but having just rewatched it that does not seem to be the case.

I was going to guess the same movie as you. I thought there was something like that in there.

That line does sound similar to a line which was originally the closing line of Minority Report but was cut. You could be recalling it from discussion on a forum like this.

I could swear that's the case, but IMDb has nothing like that.

Parcher

I think I saw this as an ad for Minority Report.

Josh-da-man

IIRC, it was supposed to be the original ending text to Minority Report, but a last-minute decision was made to not include it.

Man, I could swear I saw something like that at the end of Minority Report! Maybe some prints got out with the text still on?

jaeufraser

This was the original ending as written by Scott Frank. This text was cut for the actual film. You must be remembering the script or some forum you read.

Weird -- I guess it was MR. Could've sworn Ebert mentioned it in his review, but nothing was there when I just checked.

I am with the people who say they saw this: I definitely (maybe) remember something like that at the end.

Big Boy Laroux

i definitely saw this at the end of minority report. i would bet money on it.

or maybe it was a voiceover? ok, i won't bet THAT much money on it.

Groucho

I remember now: it was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off right after Mia Sara strips down while Cameron ogles her pretending to be in a coma. A voice-over proclaims "#### people died the next year" and they all hop into a flying DeLorian to go visit Biggs on Tattoowine and the words "To Be Continued..." appear on the screen.

I thought I heard something like this in the voiceover for Minority Report as well.

Seantn

It was NOT in the theatrical version of Minority Report, no matter how many of you say you saw it. It was originally in there, but Spielberg cut it because it sort of made the ending a downer, and he didn't want to go that way. He wanted to show Cruise and his pregnant wife as a happy ending. Naming off how many people died the next year would have made it less happy. I wish it would have been in there, but it wasn't.

Could be 12 Monkeys

Can anyone check the DVD commentary of Minority Report to find out what happened?

Oh, wait...

cultshock

No, no, that scene was only in the TV version.

Josh-da-man

But you forgot they also took Rosemary's baby with the little horns and red eyes with them.

DonnachaOne

No, no, no, you see the Terminator had punched through it and ripped out its bloody, pulsating heart. At which point, a South Park commentator said "I haven't seen a kid molested like that since Michael Jackson".

I had a real audio of it, but I deleted it.

The Bus

The German TV version, and only the version that broadcaster ZDF shows in Nordheim-Westfalen in the spring of leap years. Nowhere else.

AGuyNamedMike

Well, there, and then there's the b00tleg version shown on my videodrome satellite feed at least twice a month on Sundays after midnight with the restored Cruise/Farrell/Von Sydow three-way and the alternate score by Goblin.
