Watching it again, I'm glad they cut that ending
It's been a long time since I've seen this mnovie, and watching it again, I can't help but feel glad they cut that ending. Sure, it would've been a comedic moment in the film, but overall it would've been a depressing ending. Learning that the guy did so much only to become blind and retarded would've been really sad. It would've been different then the entire tone of the movie, I think.
