if you could change the ending of any movie what would it be and why
mine would be rat race. the original ending has
.
in my improved ending i would have the guy who plays mr bean win originaly. He then falls asleep. then out of nowhere john cleese would take the money and drive off with it. When the others get there just in time to see what happened. They would then all get in seperate cars and chase him. This chase would be a spectacular car chase lasting nearly 5 min. The car that cleese drives trys to avoid another car and drives over the edge. The others catch up, and find that he is dead. They end up arguing over who gets the money overall. Then after all pulling on it, it flies up into the air. Then out of nowhere, a man with his back to us catches it. When we find who it is , it was leslie nielson (who has apeared in a few zuckers brothers movies), He decides to run off with it, and the movie ends. That sounds better right?

Yeah, that woulda been hilarious. Leslie Nielsen is one of the most underrated comedians around. The real ending to Rat Race sucked. I would own it on DVD if not for the ending.
I'll come back to this thread later and add some. I'm about to watch Usual Suspects. Now there's a movie with a great ending.

The Abyss, ending ruined the film.
Saving Grace, ending was dreadful.
Heat, I really never liked the ending (the final shoot-out).

How about Tim Bourton's Planet of the Apes. Where at the end they have a battle with the Apes and that stupid chimp comes out of the sky and they stop everything. What a terrible ending. I was sitting there watching this and thinking What the Hell is this? That ruined the whole movie for me. What a terrible ending.

the ending of Burton's Planet of the Apes was one of the worst endings ever, did it not just piss you off? i definitely liked some aspects of the new version better than the old one, but the ending still made me feel like i waisted my money! i don't ever want to see it again...

I do agree with Panic Room. I was waiting for her to run out and tell them to put their guns down instead of just standing there. I mean, you gotta feel sympathy for the character for all he did.

I would change the ending of Jaws. When I was little I used to always wonder why Hooper didn't swim up from the bottom, come up right under Brody and grab him by the legs and jerk him under or something. I mean really scare the s**t out of him. As I got older and understood the seriousness of the situation they had just gone through, I understood why he didn't do that.
Still, it would have been a hilarious prank.
I also would have changed the ending to The Bad News Bears and Kingpin. I always have a hard time enjoying a movie when the star(s) loses the "big game". Except Rocky though, because his goal was just to survive and, of course, he did.

I disagree. I thought the ending of The Game was brilliant.
