10 Movies That Were Saved By One Genius Tweak

10. Not Sticking The Landing Forces A New Scene - Legally Blonde

The difference between a good slice of big-screen fun and an instant classic of a feature can often come down to how a movie draws to a close.

And in the case of eventual smash hit 2001 comedy Legally Blonde, a test screening for the flick seemed to suggest that the initially proposed ending for the film's leading light Elle Woods simply wasn't enough to satisfy those who had been taking in her compelling journey to becoming a successful lawyer.

So, instead of unleashing that first ending, which saw Elle taking part in a pretty traditional rom-com finale involving her kissing the guy and eventually handing out Blonde Legal Defense Fund pamphlets a year on from her triumphant trial victory, the folks behind the picture forged a swift new finish to the film.

Roping in Reese Witherspoon and dumping her in a blonde wig for a quick reshoot in London, due to the star filming The Importance of Being Earnest at the time and cutting her hair off, the satsifying graduation conclusion was brought into being, with fans reacting much better to the visual of Elle getting her cap and gown at Harvard than simply getting the guy and riding off into the sunset.
