8 Original Movie Endings That Never Made It To Screen

8. Thelma And Louise - Gory, Gory Death

It makes sense that Ridley Scott would appear on this list. His problematic Blade Runner is notorious for the number of cuts available, each with variations on the ending that is, at best, ambiguous. Needless to say, the man has trouble getting a point across.

When he would like to make a statement, however, he does it with the gritty bluntness of Black Hawk Down. It's the same kind of brutal truth he wanted to apply to...Thelma and Louise?

Despite winning a Best Screenplay Oscar, the movie that launched 1,000 Men's Rights Activists was more an escapist fantasy for downtrodden housewives. Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon) embark on a crime spree road trip after being neglected too long by the men in their life.

The ending is meant to be a blaze of glory, with the duo driving off a cliff while being pursued by the police. At long last, it appeared women had their Butch and Sundance.

But Scott almost robbed them of that, shooting and originally including the gory car crash and corpses, which the audience was supposed to mourn. Gone were the outlaws battling injustice toward women - just a few added frames reduced them to victims of brutality, rather than survivors of it.
