Personally, I would've just thrown away the "antidote" and asked Paul to relieve me of Harkonnen service(AWESOME movie though it changes the story, it can also be closer to the book than the awesome miniseries). I think Dune is great as film and miniseries and book.
Precious substance, very important for transportation, which is only to be found in the desert, inhabited by a people which does await some Messiah figure? I sometimes wonder how much the fancy Dune tale is a parable on the modern world! The spice is the oil, the Spacing Guild could be compared to the multinational Oil Corporations, the empire to the US of A (recently they make a fuss about being an empire) and even the Baron Harkonnen could resemble a well-known banking baron.
I whould kill all of the fremens and with an infinite pleasure i would cut their necks slash their heads smash their bodies to bits rape their women and then use them as whores for the every harkonnen, and i whould make their children watching it. and very especially ooooh i'd destroy the whole atreides with unstoppable cruelty that never ever happened before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mate, where did you find all this alternative footage? Excellent work and what a crime that there is no official version of David Lynch's film with all this in it that would prove all the critics wrong!
Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you - the perfume exists on only one planet in the entire universe. A desolate, dry planet with vast deserts. Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts is a oasis known as heaven. It has long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah who would lead them to true paradise. The planet is the Padashan Empress, also known as Irulan.

@jimjimthehumanbin Ah yes, I'd forgotten that part of the movie. I'm not sure why he yanked it out rather than just waiting for a cure to be found... Oh, and the princess is indeed hot, but I don't believe Paul ever did it with her.
Am I really the only Harkonnen fan in the known Universe?! The Atreides are so smug, I never liked them. Exept Paul's father, may be. Every time Paul talks, he tries to say something that must be written in the big books. Rarely unpleasant person. Feyd-Rautha would have kill him.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion...
Would have been nice if Paul could have revived him w/o the heart-plug, and subsequent exit to hospital since Thufir was such an integral part of his life and House Atredies for 3 generations. Granted his death was noble, but it would have added an extra dimension of "supernaturalness" to Pauls character. JMHO.
@mrsotter19 Yes she does. Paul actually admits to her that he's been unnessasraly cruel to her, but she kind of makes up for it by being a surrogate mother to his children after Chani dies in childbirth
@weldonwin Well, Irulan is despised for her role in Paul's undoing and chani's death (the abortifacts she put in Chani's food and all) but out of political necessity she was living a very frustrating life. It is a shame that the author could not give her a lover or something nice later in life...
@mrsotter19 Well, she does receive the love and affection of Leto and Ganima, Paul's twin children whom Irulan becomes surrogate mother to and then she helps raise Ganima and Prince Feraddan Corrino's (Irulan's nephew) children.
Yes, Irulan did bad things but not out of malice or spite. The abortifacts were on the orders of the Bene Geserit in order to try to regain control of the Atredes bloodline and breed an heir they could control
In fact because of Chanis death and Paul complying with the fremen law for the blind. She cries against the Bene Geserit swearing to watch over Ganima and Leto to protect them. This is borne out of her love for her husband Paul. Remember love can be unrequited. I do agree with mrsotter19 but that would also detract from her role in Children of Dune if that was at the forefront presumably she may have taken some but its better not explored.
One thing that's always puzzled me about Dune, both the David Lynch and the Sci Fi miniseries seem guilty of, is how come all the Harkonnens are red haired. :)
@keflar5 This is more or less the ending as it was supposed to go in the book. The Lynch version more or less jettisons all the politics and intrigue from the novel, not to mention the Atreides' own backstabbing conspiricies
This is so awesome, the Australian version of the DVD doesn't include the deleted scenes (no idea why). I wish Lynch had not refused to do a special extended DVD edition though.
No there isn't. The original workprint was 4 hours long. The longest version with all the extended and deleted material added is 189 minutes. The 6 hour version is a myth.
This is an awesome movie in its time in the 80s :) Ive watched it so many times and just love the battle scenes! Thanks for uploading the alternate ending.
oye sthesao29 esta pelicula la vi cuando fue estrenada en la tv, me gusta la pelicula ya tengo el dvd pero dime cuantos libros son de la saga y ademas me doy cuenta de que tiene un toque biblico en las peliculas de sci-fi aca en mexico aun no han estrenado la miniserie dunas 2000 creo.
Es cierto. Este debió ser el final de la película en las salas del cine, pues el libro se acaba en que Paul anuncia que se casa con Irulan sólo para ascender al trono, pero que siempre querrá a Chani, y cuando Chani le dice que no quiere títulos ni esas cosas, Jessica le dice que aunque sean concubinas, la historia las llamará esposas... No sé porque terminaron la película así, hubiera quedado mejor con este verdadero y realista final.
Cool it man, Messiah legends are there throughtout the history, they are always victims of their own myth, but in this movieI felt I was different, it colud be this time he was real, i liked the fact he was Godlike, itfeltto me biblical,, I like these books to, Frank Herberts novel is very deep, I must read it again sometime, I think in a way the sequel Dune Messiah, described the messiah syndrome and its outcome very well, the way the status of meesiah becomes a prison for the messiah himself
I never really liked that ending in the book, it felt dry in a way, if you compere that to use supernatural powers to manipulate weather i felt it less egoistic attitude for a messiah, he felt the people important, and the rain scene feels mysterious, here you feel he is a real messiah
You apparently didn't understand the book's main point at all : Messiah legends and prophecies and forcing someone to take the role of that Messiah pave the road to hell... Lynch totally distorted and dumbed down the whole sarcastic point of the book. The Paul of the book is also a much more believable person, not a one-dimensional uber-hero, that doesn't make mistakes and knows all.
To be fair though, while these themes you accurately describe are certainly foreshadowed in Dune when Paul is wary of his 'terrible purpose', they don't really manifest until Dune: Messiah. I think the book ends on a triumphalist note.
One can hope that if Lynch had been given more control over the final product, and it was successful enough to warrant a continuation of the story, he would have painted Paul/Mua'dib as the tragic figure that he is..
Actually, in the original book there's slight hidden hints of the demise of humankind of what will be depicted in later books, especially in the guild report at the end of the book where it was described that "Arrakis was afflicted" by Paul. Note that one small, but subtle, word, "afflicted."
I do enjoy the Extended Cut only due to the fact that certain scenes are fleshed out more, it's to bad that a definitive cut could be made combining Lynch's version with the extended cut scenes properly edited.
This is a much better ending than the original. Much more faithful to the books. The rain only made sense in the way it ties the events of the first book to the second book; the transformation of the planet to a "water-rich paradise".
I realise, so many people hate this movie. I can see why, but personally disagree. It stands out, which is a difficult task in itself.
Looking forward to the a new take on the book in 2010.
I think all of the scenes should have been used, especially the rain scene. That brought a sense of epicness and glory to the whole film. It symbolized change, and the coming of better times.
Leaving it where this video/extended version does, makes it seem a bit like an average love story. lol
Although the original film is awesome as it is, I just wish David Lynch would have taken it even further and done more with it...
The special effects are bad, the acting's laughable, the story is slow, Sting's in it for no apparent reason, Toto did the music, the ending was weird with the thunderstorm and new age soft rock over the end credits. It was a stinking pile of crap.
Man, I loved that movie. I really did. A flawed masterpiece, which I believe. I absolutely think it was far too ambitious a project to adapt to film, but the result was so damn bizarre and wonderful that I can't imagine if it had never been made.
Perhaps you should all read the ending in book six. The last page; to see that all this actually happened in somebody's rose garden. Go on read it and see . . . .
dickdona, you are so wrong, the end of the six book is indeed in a rose garden of two old face dancers, but the meaning is other. think about it;) they escape in the golden path of Leto II.
Perhaps you should all read the ending in book six. The last page; to see that all this actually happened in somebody's rose garden. Go on read it and see . . . .
This movie was awful. For years I tried to persuade myself I liked it. I dont. It was hammered upon release and managed to grab a cult following. The first impressions were the right ones.
I mean c'mon, wimpy Kyle Mclaughlin with terrible hair as Paul Atraides ?!?!?!
No, the book ends with Jessica telling Chani "we may be concubines, but history will remember us as wives" referring to the fact that Lady Jessica was never formally married to Duke Leto, nor was Chani to Paul. Since Paul was to marry the Emperor´s daughter.
No I´m not a dumbass. The movie ends by Alia saying that Paul is the Kwizach Hederach. In the book, there is another ending, which I said above. Lynch took too many liberties in his interpretation of the novel.
You see? SEQUEL BECKONS! This was such a perfect ending to forward on to 'Dune Messiah'. I feel really depressed now we'll never see it. Lynch began writing Dune Messiah out of his own enthusiasm. Such a loss that nobody will ever get to see it.
I hate the studio politics that buried such a chance.
Why are people saying it's "cowshit" or "crap" compared to the books, but what could compare to the depth of the books you fucking idiots. What Lynch 'almost' did was amazing. The film is a flawed gem.
Well the miniseries shown on the sci fi channel by John Harrison compares up pretty well I'd say. Goes into a hell of a lot more depth and unlike Lynch's comic book "version" it is extremely faithful to the book!
wait, why only the first four? don't sell yourself short, heretics and chapterhouse are equally important and amazing. completely different characters and setting, but awesome nonetheless.
A good part of the book takes place in the "two year" gap that's explained in the film. Paul initially finds it difficult, but is able to prove himself to the Fremen. Also, Paul and Chani have a son, though he doesn't live long (due to the war.) The book was much better. I'm glad the ending of the extended version matches the book.
Great post - thank you! And, OMG, thank you so much for getting rid of the stupid, illogical, and ruinous ending rain scene! I remember watching an otherwise good movie for near 3 hours to have it ruined by that! I still haven't forgiven Lynch for it. :)
Paul married Irulan, took the throne, and kept Chani as his concubine, yet she was his wife in all things. Irulan got the short end of the stick, but thats what happens when your house (Corrino) lost to House Atreides.
cant believe they cut out this scene from both editions. it was totally needed.
also, even though the film deviates from the story quite a bit i still think it was a good film.
when you make a movie of a novel you dont have to stick to it religiously, a director has his own interpretation, of course its going to differ form your interpretation. even if the film was made exactly like some of you said there would still be hundreds of other people complaining.
The whole movie could use a George Lucas style facelift (those drawing in the opening are dreadful and they were dreadful back when it first came out as well). But Lucas has tons of money and this was a one-off, so that aint gonna happen
This is far and away a better ending than the theatrical release or the the extended version they show on tv sometimes. If David Lynch had just been allowed to retain creative control, this could have been one of the best sci fi movies ever made. Instead the studio turned it into a parody of itself.
If you didn't like this you shouldn't watch it, I hate ppl ALWAYS watching what they don't like then complaining, they must love dentist visits!!! And people need to read their old books again it seems, there is mention of these things in later materials.

Frank Herbert was a friggin' genius.

You know, actually, even as an ending for a book that didn't really work :P
better than the original film tho =p

This is the way the movie should have ended.
I do enjoy the Extended Cut only due to the fact that certain scenes are fleshed out more, it's to bad that a definitive cut could be made combining Lynch's version with the extended cut scenes properly edited.

I can't believe they left that part out, it was the most touching scene in the whole film. I love the music that plays over the end credits.

This is a much better ending than the original. Much more faithful to the books. The rain only made sense in the way it ties the events of the first book to the second book; the transformation of the planet to a "water-rich paradise".
I realise, so many people hate this movie. I can see why, but personally disagree. It stands out, which is a difficult task in itself.
Looking forward to the a new take on the book in 2010.

I think all of the scenes should have been used, especially the rain scene. That brought a sense of epicness and glory to the whole film. It symbolized change, and the coming of better times.
Leaving it where this video/extended version does, makes it seem a bit like an average love story. lol
Although the original film is awesome as it is, I just wish David Lynch would have taken it even further and done more with it...

The special effects are bad, the acting's laughable, the story is slow, Sting's in it for no apparent reason, Toto did the music, the ending was weird with the thunderstorm and new age soft rock over the end credits. It was a stinking pile of crap.
Man, I loved that movie. I really did. A flawed masterpiece, which I believe. I absolutely think it was far too ambitious a project to adapt to film, but the result was so damn bizarre and wonderful that I can't imagine if it had never been made.

Perhaps you should all read the ending in book six. The last page; to see that all this actually happened in somebody's rose garden. Go on read it and see . . . .
dickdona, you are so wrong, the end of the six book is indeed in a rose garden of two old face dancers, but the meaning is other. think about it;) they escape in the golden path of Leto II.

I've seen some fan attempts to put this film back together.
It might be to some extent possible.
If the deleted scenes were frame by frame treated and then the whole film given a make over and re-edit.
It would take either A) willingness on Dino's part to let a team of professionals at the materials or B)a very talented group of amateurs.
Some of the flaws are there from the shooting (Paul is too old, Feyd is played by Sting etc).
But it could be done.

This movie was awful. For years I tried to persuade myself I liked it. I dont. It was hammered upon release and managed to grab a cult following. The first impressions were the right ones.

No, the book ends with Jessica telling Chani "we may be concubines, but history will remember us as wives" referring to the fact that Lady Jessica was never formally married to Duke Leto, nor was Chani to Paul. Since Paul was to marry the Emperor´s daughter.

No I´m not a dumbass. The movie ends by Alia saying that Paul is the Kwizach Hederach. In the book, there is another ending, which I said above. Lynch took too many liberties in his interpretation of the novel.

You see? SEQUEL BECKONS! This was such a perfect ending to forward on to 'Dune Messiah'. I feel really depressed now we'll never see it. Lynch began writing Dune Messiah out of his own enthusiasm. Such a loss that nobody will ever get to see it.
I hate the studio politics that buried such a chance.

Why are people saying it's "cowshit" or "crap" compared to the books, but what could compare to the depth of the books you fucking idiots. What Lynch 'almost' did was amazing. The film is a flawed gem.
MintySpunkBubble 3 years ago 3
Well the miniseries shown on the sci fi channel by John Harrison compares up pretty well I'd say. Goes into a hell of a lot more depth and unlike Lynch's comic book "version" it is extremely faithful to the book!

YES! Go and buy yourself a copy of the first four books and read them all. The movies is crap compaired to the books!

wait, why only the first four? don't sell yourself short, heretics and chapterhouse are equally important and amazing. completely different characters and setting, but awesome nonetheless.

A good part of the book takes place in the "two year" gap that's explained in the film. Paul initially finds it difficult, but is able to prove himself to the Fremen. Also, Paul and Chani have a son, though he doesn't live long (due to the war.) The book was much better. I'm glad the ending of the extended version matches the book.

Ending it with the last words from the book is perfect.
Why Lynch and De Laurentiis stuck in that WTF (worm-fatal, by the way) rain-out-of-nowhere-on-a-DESERT-PLANET ending is a mystery for the ages.

Paul married Irulan, took the throne, and kept Chani as his concubine, yet she was his wife in all things. Irulan got the short end of the stick, but thats what happens when your house (Corrino) lost to House Atreides.

cant believe they cut out this scene from both editions. it was totally needed.
also, even though the film deviates from the story quite a bit i still think it was a good film.
when you make a movie of a novel you dont have to stick to it religiously, a director has his own interpretation, of course its going to differ form your interpretation. even if the film was made exactly like some of you said there would still be hundreds of other people complaining.

The whole movie could use a George Lucas style facelift (those drawing in the opening are dreadful and they were dreadful back when it first came out as well). But Lucas has tons of money and this was a one-off, so that aint gonna happen

This is far and away a better ending than the theatrical release or the the extended version they show on tv sometimes. If David Lynch had just been allowed to retain creative control, this could have been one of the best sci fi movies ever made. Instead the studio turned it into a parody of itself.
