The film then reportedly ended with Winehouse getting splattered by a bus, and Deadpool quipping to the camera, "And you would have thought it would be an overdose."
Of course, this was written before Winehouse's untimely death in 2011 and ditched soon thereafter, because as distasteful as the final movie is, a gag that openly mocked a beloved, troubled entertainer probably would've been a step too mean.
