Alternate ending?
Can anyone tell me about the alternate ending?
shareI saw this movie at the theater and then later on television. I was a little miffed when I saw it on TV because I knew that it was not the same ending as the one in the theater. Basics, the ending of the theatrical release was not a happy ending. After the airplane crashed into the hangar, you heard the news reports stating that there was an accident and this was it. It left you believing that everyone in the hangar died. In the alternate ending I saw on television the news report was changed. Basically they gave it a happy ending, saying that "several people survived the crash, claiming to have been shielded by an alien spacecraft. They will be holding a news conference..." I remember it because when we left the theater we were all speculating that maybe they had lived for that very reason. So basically there wasn't too much of a difference, same shots, just different voice over.
shareMST3 runs the happy ending too, but Joel and the bots do a good
job of reiterating the fact that they are all dead and don't
fall for the voiceover. Plus anyone whose seen the movie, see
that there is no chance no one could survive that explosion
head on.
That doesn't take into account whatever unknown alien material the craft may have been created from -- *epsecially* if it survived it's descent through the atmosphere.

In the alternate ending the chickens rebuild the hangar as a giant vat for making minestrone soup, until they are shut down by Jim Rockford wearing Goldie Hawn as a hat. Epic stuff!
