Really any choice used would've worked great.don't remember liking an alternative ending so much since "Suicide Kings".
What dvds can you remember loving alt endings as much or more than the ending the filmakers cose?

what was the alternate endings.
"I think I liked it better when I thought Sylar ate brains."
In one, after the closing shot with Richard Gere walking into camera, it cuts to Ethan Hawke's partner going to inform Lili Taylor of his death; unsurprisingly, she goes into meltdown. Then there's a pan across the city to a rooftop, and a newspaper with Hawke's, Gere's and Cheadle's faces on it saying 'Brooklyn's Finest'; and a subtitle saying three different officers, one wild night. Someone then lights this and puts it on fire, respectfully; we see its Wesley Snipes, his character still alive, bandaged, wearing a hat and carrying a case. He's leaving, with one last trip to that rooftop to pay his respects to his dead friend who tried to save him:- even if he was a cop.
In the other, after the Gere into camera shot it cuts to him on a lake in Conneticut or wherever (sorry about the spelling), lovely day, lovely scene, him smiling and seeming at peace; then he picks up his .38 Special, puts it in his mouth and blows his brains out.
Personally like the first alt-ending, not the second; over-the-top dark even for this film.
Whoah that certainly adds a whole new dimension to the film.Thanks for telling me.

I watched the alternate endings on the Blu Ray and I also didn't the suicide ending but I wish Fuqua had stayed with the original ending with Sal's widow being comforted and Caz paying a tribute to Tango on the rooftop. Those scenes were powerful.

I think it ended fine the way it did, it's not believable Casanova survived, and the suicide ending was way too gloomy.
