I fell asleep while they were still in the hotel and the watch said 2:30, but all the other helpers had already taken off. I would love to know the ending, so I can compare the remake to the original. thanks.

**SPOILER**




In the original the ending:

There's a shootout throught the town to the train station. At the train station the train is getting ready to leave. It starts moving and smoke is billowing. Ben Wade tells Dan to jump onto the train car and Dan asks him how he knows he will jump to and Ben tells him to just jump. They both jump into the car and continue on down the tracks.

Dan asks him why he did that and Ben Wade tells him he never liked owing anyone any favors and Dan saved his life up in the hotel so he returned the favor. Then he mentions he's already broke out of Yuma prison before and will enjoy doing it again.

Then you see Dan's wife Alice in her wagon, she'd been waiting for the train to go by to see if Dan was ok. He waves to her as the rain begins.

The End.

That's the original's ending. The remake ends a little differently.

I liked the remake ending better. Not only did Russel kick ass, but it was a sad and realistic ending...

Yup - a sand ending exactly. I hated it. I was depressed after that ending. My wife was the same. I didn't enjoy the last 30 minutes of the remake. The End. :-).
