10 Movie Characters Killed In Reshoots
5. Max & Elise - Suicide Kings
1997's cult crime comedy Suicide Kings follows a group of young men who kidnap a former mobster, Charlie Barret (Christopher Walken), in an attempt to fund the ransom for one of their kidnapper sisters, Elise (Laura Harris).
At the end of the movie, however, it's revealed that one of the young men, Max (Sean Patrick Flanery), was in on Elise's kidnap from the start, and better yet, both he and Elise set the whole thing up to claim her ransom for themselves.
The film ends with Charlie tracking the pair down and having his bodyguard, Lono (Denis Leary), shoot them both dead. This was actually a reshoot, however, as two previously shot endings didn't go down well at all with test audiences.
One ending saw Charlie let the couple live but taking most of their scammed money back, and in the other Lono shot holes in their boat, leaving it to sink.
Test audiences felt strongly that the couple deserved to perish for their sins, and so director Peter O'Fallon went back to shoot this more gratifying addendum.
