  • ya know... without Tangerine Dream... it just sucks....

  • this ending sucks

  • i absolutely abhor the remake, all the stupid cheesy music where there was none before, totally ruined what WAS an awesome cult classic....your ending is fine...really really disappointed in the remake

  • just awful

  • What happened to Mia Sara? With Cruise we know what happened ;))

  • where can I hear darkness saying "I am the lord of darkness"...

    it's in the very beginning of the French version, but heard it in English only once, please help me...

  • I know that the original ending of them riding into the sun might be kinda corny, but it works... And I fell in love with Tangerine Dream because of this movie. That song MADE the end absolutely amazing, just no reason to change that.

  • I just don't know how I feel about this ending. I go back and forth in my mind.

    Jack...the man of the forest. Living away from society.

    Lilly... the high lady of the kingdom, destined to live a life at the center of society.

    How could it ever truly work out between them? How would their young love survive the ultimate reality? This ending is more bitter sweet, but also far more sad then the US theatrical ending where it's implied they run off and get married. It's mature but leaves me low.

  • So they are not getting married??? This ruins everything!!

  • WTF

  • I grew up with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack, but I like the classic Disney feel of these songs better.

  • it's nice, but I just can't see this ending without tangerine dream in the background.

  • This version is horrific! I actually feel quite ill! I am so heartbroken that I live in the UK and can only get the european version on dvd. I'm lucky enough to have a vhs of the american version, but one day it will break :'( When that day comes, I'm moving state side!

  • i thought this was i am legend nvm

  • this was the reason i love tom cruise!i used to watch this every xmas since i was 6!!!!!!sooo tom cruise has always been my knight in shinin armour!

  • I have to say I liked this ending much better than the original this one has more closure considering Lily and Jack.

  • I hate this ending, i like the other ending it more 80's

  • I just can't get into this without tangerine dream.

  • What happened to tangerine dream? I went to see this film when it was first released. The music was by tangerine dream (and Brian Ferry). I saw legend a few months ago on DVD and the music was orchestral.

  • Ridley Scott truly is a visionary. His films have a distinctive look and feel about them. Legend is one of his best. I even prefer the orchestral score to the theatrical Tangerine Dream score. The orchestral one was commissioned first but at the last minute TO's was substituted.

  • which version on the film shows the unicorn horn being replaced in the end while loved by the sun is playing??

  • at half of the movie when robert has his flashback of his family being picked up by the chopper, his son says by to him by to him by shaping a butterfly with his hands through the glass windows of the chopper. rather interesting.

  • Someone please help me find this ending on DVD format! I've purchased 3 copies already trying to get the RIGHT ending!!!

  • This is the ONLY ending I want to see what's up with the one on the DVD???? I bought several different editions trying to get this ending. Can anyone help me find it?!!

  • @amberlynn11221

    The ending here is a (rather amateur) custom edit I did in 2006, combining elements from the director's cut and the US theatrical version. So you won't find *this* ending on any DVD release, sorry!

  • @amberlynn11221 i love ther original one, the tangerine dreams one bt yeah i think they should make the ending like this !!

  • @amberlynn11221 if you read the description, the person MADE this ending using different scenes from both versions of the film

  • always loved this film ,i remember as a child it was on bbc 2 every couple of years .and i would force my mum to watch it with me,and it was on much longer than the dvd cut i've just brought

    ahhh the golden days

  • I do so love this movie. Both versions. They were my childhood obsession.

    Also, point of interest, the princess' name is Lili, not Lily. Not a big deal, but I thought you'd like to know.

  • One is American version with Tangerine Dream, This must be the European version with different music.

  • I actually like this ending alot better then the one that was used. Great job.

  • This is the ending i have on my version! The melody! Not the popsong!Beautiful music! Much better than the new ending!Destroyed the fillm!

  • original much better. but thanks for sharing.

  • God!!! All of the kissing is making me really want a boyfriend...

  • well they dont make them like that anymore :) wonder if tom cruise sees that his best film apart from top gun of course.

    lovely ending though cheers for that x

  • I doubt it I'm afraid. It's a good film for it's time, but has dated a LOT and is only really good because of the effort that went into creating the world - the dialogue and plot aren't that great and the characters are one-dimensional. I think most of the major fans of the film like it for nostalgic reasons.

    Tom Cruise has done better films...Interview with a Vampire is incredible. Tropic Thunder he played well, Collateral, Vanilla Sky, Minority Report, A Few Good men etc

  • The only thing that rubs me wrong about this ending well, 2 things...the forced dialog....and the fact she gave him the ring and basically the wedding wont take place. All that he went thru. Just me being analytical.

  • Right. Thats why I prefer the other ending to this. Sort of gives vibes as if she rejected him in some way and the "can i come tomorrow" part.

  • nicely done my man, nicely done.

  • just watched the theatrical version last night, and I so like this ending of yours much better.....makes more sense than the movie ending, to my mind.

    I must look out for a copy of the directors cut.....obviously has some wicked extras.

  • why change perfection?

  • you know whats funny, Meg mucklebones is the Doctor from voyager,yes that doctor,the bald headed hollogram.

    Crazy huh?

  • original score was better

  • It gave me the goosepimples

  • well the real ending implies that darkness still thrives which is neccessary inorder to keep the balance of the universe darkness cant be destroyed

  • whats so special about that ?

  • Beautiful!

  • does the directors cut have any tangerine dream songs in it?

  • both scores are great, but the jerry goldsmith score feels much more like a natural fairy tale story type feel. the tangerine dream score was great too, but it has a darker appeal to it

  • wow.... original ending WAY better than this one...it was neat to see but I hated it

  • That ring is simply awesome.

    If you ask me, the supposed "alternative" ending isn't really all that different. It's just the happy ending portrayed a little differently. Instead of both of them running toward the sun, Jack is by himself.

  • SADDNESS!!! Gue3ss I'm a fan of the US theatrical cut, which I saw as a child. Also love the Tangerine Dream score a bit more ;)

  • OMG 6:08 soooooo beautiful! I get goosebums all over! :D

  • oh yes you are right dar

  • Wouw.. the song in this movie is sooo beautiful!!

    I always loved this movie sooo much.. when I was a kid.. I was afraid of the creepy darkness-guy haha :P And always have to cry when the unicorn died and became happy when they stood up again at the end! :D

  • I love it. When they talk to each other. It's quite fascinating, so lovely. I dunno, I'm just.... touched. :)

  • I love this movie, always have. This ending was 1000X better.

  • i dont think shes coming back......

  • Its a little bit longer but i like it. maybe if they cut out him running into the distance.

  • Wish it could have been both endings combined. Both unicorns come back to life when Lily wakes and the horn is replaced. They don't run off together but do as this alternate ending did. They may marry later. Wonder if it could be made into a fun book?

  • I prefer the version with the musical score by Jon Anderson, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Brian Ferry. Or is it Fairy? :>)

  • Why Ridley Scott cutt this ending ......I will never know........It's a darn shame.......

  • Why Ridley Scott cutt this  ending..... I will never know.....It's a darn shame....

  • I have abetter ending, Jack runs off with Meg Mucklebones and lilly goes with browntom!

  • I have seen the Tangerine dream version a number of times and it was the first version I had seen. Afer many years and seeing many fantasy films, I can say that the TD version completely takes my breath away. I have seen the other version and it just lack the open-minded fantasy that the TD version supplies. Personally I find the non-TD version to be too much like a half assed Disney film. many ppl will disagree, but that is how I feel about it and this message is mostly for TD version fans.

  • I totally agree with you. The non-TD version ruined the magic for me.

  • I liked this ending but i'm still partial to the original. I like the magical scene with the unicorns and I like Tangerine Dream's song better. Jack and Lily need to run off together that is the way it was meant to be. If you are going to change the music then leave the ending as is.

  • This movie is fucking AWESOME!!!!

  • Nice job! I like that you inserted the shots of the alicorn restoration into the scene without much extension of the music... cuz really, who needs to see Jack swimming that much? I think your timing & lengths of some of the Unicorn shots could have been a bit tighter, & I don't think you need the shot of it getting it... leave it at the horn being restored and the sun rising, & let the audience not get full satisfaction from that little sequence until both Unicorns appear towards the very end.

  • Much better ending. Doesn't suggest that Jack ran off with Lily forever leaving behind his home in the forest and his fey friends.

  • The original never even suggested that o.O

  • Can you believe Robert Picardo? That was the EMH from Voyager -- Meg Mucklebones!!

  • If you wanna see Robert Picardo excel check out "The Explorers."

  • I have never saw this ending...how could they cut something so important...

  • i like the other version better. the unicorn coming back to life was magical

  • ¡Qué grande Jerry Goldsmith! Los que amamos esta película nunca perdonaremos a Ridley Scott que haya destrozado la versión original para hacerla más comercial a ojos de los americanos. Afortunadamente, en Europa respetó el amor por el buen gusto.

  • GOD.I'm SO sorry.

    I close my eyes and I STILL see cruise jumping on *that* couch!

  • i like the US version better. there seems to a lot of useless footage in the european version. although I do appreciate the this ending better. The waltz scene is my fav.

    I live in the city of trees. I feel like jack sometimes. lol

  • I dunno. I'm stuck.

    I liked different things about each. Like I didn't so much like the script to this ending, but I kind of liked the concept, until I couldn't figure out if they would actually get married now.

    But I like the score to this SO much better. I mean, I like the other song, but it's almost to random to me. And kind of creepy too. I dunno though.

  • this ending does go on a bit too long, but the music is much better. the song in the theatre version is dreadful.

  • thnk god for the theatrical version

  • I CANNOT believe that they didn't use Jerry Goldsmith's score in the US cut of Legend. It's gorgeous! Exactly how the music SHOULD have sounded throughout this movie. It's absolutely ideal for a fantasy movie. Why did they go and use Tangerine Dream's music? It was totally inferior to Goldsmith's original score. Anyway, I loved your cut. :)

  • I have to disagree. The Tangerine Dreams song "loved by the sun" still haunts my childhood dreams and I love its originality. It doesnt sound like any other OST. While I agree Jerry Goldsmith's score is lovely, I feel it would have been more fitting in another movie. Between the 2 scores the mood changes dramatically!

  • ...one ring to find them... one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them... lol (when he pops out of the water)

  • it was cool, but i like them running off together....after all jack went thru he needs lily by his side at the end

  • i like the music on the director's cut version for this scene LOADS better - the soundtrack on the US version was good up until the final scene where it then went totally crap - but i dislike all the talking on the director's cut and the way they left out the bit with gump and the unicorn which explains why the unicorn is suddenly alive at the end of the film

  • the orchestral music pales to the tangerine dream version.

  • If you ask me Riddley Scott should remake the movie. I think he can get away with making a new cause first off he didn't kill off the goblins: Pox, Blix, and Blunder they just disappeared except for Blunder. I would love to watch this movies sequel with more battles and more special affect with CG or something for more magic. Spread the word so that Riddley can think of the Idea. Although its obvious that the original cast can't be again.

  • I liked this ending a lot more... probably because it didn't have that awful song in it. Even though I don't much care for the bit where she goes home... it's like the end of PeterPan when Wendy leaves... though she took all his friends with her.

    ...Okay, my Wendy hate was entirely off topic. But the overall Legend is a delightful movie.

  • Liked Tangerine Dream's ending much better. Shows the unicorn getting its horn back. Awesome!

  • ok, yeah, i gotta agree with RowanErist, i like this version alot more than the other ending.........please don't shot me either! :o

  • Jerry Goldsmith got (and continues) to get kudos from reviewers and fans, to this day, about his score for Legend. It's a beautiful score. But, we are all entitiled to our own opinions. Cheers.

  • I agree with you: I always remeber the score by Tangerine Dream because that was the version I saw as a kid. I also more liked the ending on the UK release, with Tim Curry laughing, which means ther's no good without evil. light without darkness...

  • I so like the other ending better! This score sounds like it belongs with a Spielberg movie and the ending is just "sweet." The TD score and Jon Anderson's voice and the lyrics fit this movie so much better. It's full of passion and fills the audience with wonder and awe. It's true to the fantasy/fairytale that the movie represents. This one is just okay. The other is fabulous and will fill me with wonder and hope forever.

  • they took the devilish looking guy out at the end when he was laughing

  • I like this version X3 I'll probably get shot for saying it, but I don't care XD

  • I love this ending. I can't abide those Jon Anderson lyrics in the American Cut, for one thing.

  • I just watched Legend Director's cut and I thought it was just awful. You are truly right. The movie seems like a non-animated disney movie. The other version is much better; I can't believe movie professionals would actually think the Director's cut is superior.

  • This ending sort of disappoints me. They talk on and on, and get so sentimental with one another, and then they just go back off in their own little worlds again. Practically nothing changes, they don't learn anything, and Lily passes the whole thing off as a nightmare.

    In the other, it's so pure and sweet, just like their youthful selves. They just run off together, with hardly any words needing to be said at all.

  • mabey not as good but still, u gota love it!!! BROWN TOM!!

  • Sooo, I only recently found out it was Brown Tom... Throughout my entire life, I thought they were saying Rumtum. XD

  • Me too! ...still sounds like it to me. I like it, it's more original.

  • I miss tangerine dream music and loved by the sun. =w=;; thank you for putting this up. You spliced it together well.

  • i like the ending they used better

  • Exelent a work of art indeed.

  • Good effort, but I wouldn't have Legend any other way than the original. Tangerine Dream more fully expresses the mood of the film. I'll take them over any orchestra anyday.

  • Gump looks like Frankie Munez.

  • Is Gump a child or a midget? I always wondered....

  • Idk...but he was 19 when this movie was released =o So...LoL...Idk xD!

  • hes a farie!!!!

  • I know. I actually thought he was for a sec, but then i saw the credits.

  • I always thought so too. Oo;;

  • Did you know he is voiced by the woman who does Blitz.

  • Wow that was quite diffrent hummmm still beautfiul!

  • i like the other verison better.....sorry

  • Agree

  • did you know that Miyamoto, creator of Mario bros and donkey kong get ispiration from this movie in order to made the legend of zelda, on of the best videogames ever made?

  • zelda was out way before this movie werther071088

  • This is the only ending that I have seen actually. What was the other ending like? Someone message me and tell me! Please?!

  • the thearer release can be found at your local movie rental or on the web. the music (score) is much better, is more mystic. I have the sound track, and love it.

  • Love the ending credits there XD thanks for showing this as well

  • oh em gee.

    is that tom cruise?

    -_-;; his voice and face looks different. LOL

    kinda...... the girl's pretty ahhaha

  • It's before he got a nose job, cheek implants and his teeth capped. But he looks great in a sequin minidress.

  • actually your closing credits concept works well, you just needed some nicer looking titles, goes good with the finale Goldsmith music.

  • Wonderful movie, but must the best leading men of these famous love stories always be called Jack?

  • watashii have been looking forward to this.

  • domo you are my hero for this upload.

  • no effin way!!! the other ending with the song loved by the sun is soooo beautiful! its so enchabting and really captures the true love of jack and lily!!!:)

  • wow i couldnt agree with yuo more

  • I understand the Director wanted this orchestra sound track and it sounds good, but the original music was very moving in some places also, I wish he would have grafted the two styles together.

  • Director's cut owns!

  • i enjoy the director's cut ending better, because leaving the one unicorn dead is cooler than having the story come too full circle with the resuscitation of the first unicorn, also, the dialog between lily and jack in this ending drags. but overall thanks for sharing this alternate version

  • Very nice. As good as the original ending. Thank you very much for sharing it.

  • Never seen that ending before, really amazed me.

  • They showed the alternate Director's Cut or The Ultimate Collector's DVD version on Startz one day i was watching it, and never knew that I was looking at the original version of Legend. The cut version is great, but not as great as the extended versions.

  • There are way more than two versions of this movie. The american movie was my fav but when i wanted the one that has tangerine dream do the soundtrack i was fantasically impressed even more and it became another new fav movie to me.

  • Wer do u get the one with the Tangerine Dream song on at the end? I LOVED that one so much

    ;[ But my IDIOTIC bro taped over it. ;[

  • I found it on the internet. lol never even knew it existed until I found it. Was greatly impressed.

  • It's interesting psychology; some thing one is lame and some think the other is lame. I think the, "make it an 80's rock video and edit the heck out of it cause American movie goers are retarded" one is a tad lame. When I saw Scott's original, it blew me away and I was no longer able to even just like the electronica version. Didn't have a fraction of the magic or the musical intelligence. And she only sings a little bit... nothing approaching a musical. Anyhoodlydoodle...

  • Oh my goodness I've never seen this ending before.. thank gawd cause I probably wouldn't be such a big fan if I had seen this ending.. Your all right the music of Tangerine Dreams was way better

  • Tom plays Peter Pan wonderfully.

  • i grew up with this movie and the one i saw wasnt musical, lilly didnt sing in it and the end had tangerine dream's "loved by the sun" playing at the end. i loved it. i rented it last year and it was a different movie...a freaking musical. i hated it. anyone know how to get the other version?

  • Yea, there's two versions. The one you're talking about is the one I grew up on. It's the U.S. version where Lilly and Jack actually stay together at the end. Sounds like you found the European version where they sing a lot and she leaves him at the end (what the heck?!). Anyway, if you have a Video Warehouse nearby that's where I found it. They rent both the American and European version in one case so you can choose which one you want to watch.

  • thanks i'll steer clear from the other one. i told a friend who hadnt watched it to rent it and she got the lame version too then called me a liar!

  • david bennent is awesome

  • this ending was not a good one. i'm glad they didnt go with it. it changes the whole relationship they had to just friends. More like siblings than anything else. that sux. i liked the other ending. it made it seem they had a more intimate relationship. more than friendship love.

  • Since when do "just friends" or "siblings" french kiss that much????

    I don't like this ending, it makes Lily look like an idiot. And the whole flow of the movie is upset at the end by menial conversation?? BORING. I prefer the Loved by the Sun ending!!!!

  • Sioko: I think all that French Kissing was just a bit of self-indulgent ad-libbing by Tom and Mia.....which Ridley impishly decided to let slide, ho ho ho.

  • This is the better ending. The pop song at the end of the other one was out of place.

  • Tout à fait.

    Je n'aime pas Loved by the sun, ça craint un peu, c'est tellement pas dans l'esprit du film, qui est plus dans le registre fantasy et onirisme. Même si les mélanges produisent parfois des merveilles, là je trouve ça.. moche, question de goûts.

  • Qu'est-ce que de la musique pop stridente viendrait faire là ? Je sais pas, j'ai connu la version Française, et quand j'ai entendu Loved by the sun pour la première fois, je ne savais même pas que c'était la musique du film, tellement elle est décalée ! De toutes façon, elle a été intégrée à la version américaine... pour plaire aux américains, ça veut tout dire... ça devait être dans "l'aire du temps", à cette époque, la pop.

  • TY Escapay, great job :}

  • This is the ending I remember seeing and loving as a child. When I purchased Legend years later and saw the "Loved by the Sun" ending I thought that I just remembered it wrong! Thanks! Now I know! LOL

  • why here in italy it's not arrived the director's cut? WHY???????????

  • This is ace, nice one - where do you get your film clips from btw?

  • i actually prefer this ending to the other one..i despise all things that end in 'it was all a dream' but they made up for it here...i like it :P thanks for posting XD

  • Thank you alot! lenged is a freaking classic!!

  • Legend Of Zelda was based off some of the material from this movie, or so the creator has said. It would make sense.

  • It was just the legend of zelda the ocarina of time, but that is one of the best games of all time.

  • I like this movie.....This was the only movie i like tom playing in ....and Mia.....too.....

  • "hey", is that" Sloan" the chick from Ferris beuller's Day off.

  • yep it is

  • tom was 21-22 years old

  • Tom Cruise is so damn young in this movie!!!

  • Yeah,but i wonder exactly how old he was? anybody? i need to buy this awesome ass movie thats for sure.

  • tom cruise was 21-22 years old.

  • tom cruise was 16 when he made this movie. Resource: silver springs florida tour, the scenes where he dives in for princess Lily's wring were shot in the spring and on the boat tours they stated he was 16 when the film was shot :c)

  • he was born in 1962 this movie was made in 1984-85 that puts him in his early 20s not teens.

  • right, my dear foxygirl86!

  • yeah, he was 23.
