From the Trivia, he was obviously involved in production + reshooting the ending to add the kiss

Why did he take his name off the finished film?I assume he didn't like the finished product. What didn't he like? Why didn't he recut himself?

I've heard two reasons:

1. Something to do with Aaron Spelling

2. He thought it was going to be a Karate Kid type of deal not Martin Scorsese meets Savage Steve Holland.
