10 Stupid Script Changes That Cut Incredible Sounding Scenes In Classic Movies

4. Dawn Of The Dead - Peter And Francine Commit Suicide

Written into the script then only to be changed at the last minute, Dawn of the Dead intended to be originally a lot bleaker. Peter and Francine were not to fly off in the helicopter, but actually do commit suicide €“ Peter by shooting himself, and Francine putting her head into the helicopter blades. The end credits were then to show the blades slowly shutting down, as the helicopter ran out of fuel, showing their potential fate had they gotten inside. Feeling that this would leave the audience feeling there was no hope for humanity, it was changed to the current ending. It's not like Dawn of the Dead needed anymore deaths. Did it?
