Your Favorite Films That Had Crazy Alternate Endings

The Abyss

Alternate endings can shed some more light on a subject, or change everything about a movie. In this James Cameron flick, the aliens take pity once they see Ed Harris sacrifice himself, but the other ending was pretty different. In that rewrite, Ed joins the aliens on the space ship while they lecture him about humanity and say they’ll cure civilization by wiping it out.

The More You Know

For 'Fight Club' (1999), Brad Pitt had pieces of his front teeth chipped off to play Tyler Durden. He also took soap-making classes, boxing, taekwondo, and grappling lessons with Edward Norton to prepare for the role.
Movie trailers were originally shown after the movie, which is why they’re called “trailers.”
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first American film to have a soundtrack.
Ronald Reagan was originally announced as the lead for Casablanca. The proclamation turned out to simply be a ruse to keep the actor’s name in the press.
