teepad17 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 What is the original ending? The only ending I have seen is the one where the radioactive "whatzit" in the box burns down the beachhouse. Is there a different one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 Tee, The house explodes but up until the restoration, there were missing scenes: From imagejournals.com: The correct sequence of the ending, which is not exactly as scripted, consists of four events: (1) the house begins to explode; (2) Hammer and Velda stumble into the surf and turn to look back; (3) the house explodes into flames and the title, "The End," emerges from the center of the frame, comes forward optically, and remains superimposed over a last shot (4) of Hammer and Velda holding each other at the water's edge. That is why I am hoping TCM shows the restored version but would like to know because if I get all the way to the end and it's not the restored version then I will be a bit upset.

bggalaxy Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Tape it. Then before you rewind to the beginning to veiw, you check out the end. If it's the ending you want rewind and watch it. If it is the wrong ending, rewind and tape over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
