Little Shop of Horrors Original Ending w/ Commentary 3/3

[brenndon1]

This ending being removed. The very last minute of the ending to the movie The decent being removed from the in the USA cut. I dont know about you but I think they shouldn't take test audience to seriously.

[fritzc77]

By creating a darker ending even than the original stage play, where Seymour sacrifices himself to kill Audrey II (our local high school performed the stage play several years ago), Frank Oz didn't necessarily create a BETTER ending. Darkness and cynicism do not equal true creativity, although we may have been led to believe otherwise. Oz is not the genius he thinks he is.

[Rkerekes13]

@fritzc77 I feel that you are not 100% correct. It's rather debatable whether this is the better ending or not.

[brenndon1]

@fritzc77

I do like this ending better. it just fits better then the ending they kept.

[ROFLOLBBQ111]

@fritzc77 What ending did your play do? The play ends with Seymour trying to kill the plant from the inside, and thus being swallowed. That's the official ending. Did your director decide LET'S USE THE HAPPY ENDING FROM THE MOVIE? There have been isolated incidents of stupid drama directors doing that.

I honestly didn't like the ending.

[MrBagginsEsq]

I never cared about a "happy" ending as much a good one. IN many movies, the good guy would willingly give up his life in order to stop the monster. While the morality is lacking from the original version, its some what lacking here to. In the broadway production he goes in its mouth to kill it with a machete. At least it is moral. But good seems to loose to these plants. The best version was the 1960s version. He did what was wrong. Trying to make up for it he went inside it and DID kill it.

[Chess289]

Yes Mr. Oz I did like. Why this "audience' did not is beyond me. It doesn't have to be happy to be great. Well THIS is why most entertainment industries do not listen to the fans. Fans mess up almost everything!

[TehRantare]

The two things he seems to talk about (the only thing he COULD talk about) is how nice the model work is, and, in an increasingly angry tone, how things would have been different and/or better if they had allowed him to use the footage and ending. Although it wouldn't be as memorable, who thinks that we, the fans, should re-do the movie, and put in the true ending?

[IluvLadyandGinger]

Ok. I am not a dark person at all. However this should have stayed in the movie. Just because 1 audience didnt like it, dosnt mean the rest of us wouldnt like it either. All this amazing work has just gone to waste.

[MrBagginsEsq]

@IluvLadyandGinger I say a different ending all together. How about the MOST original one. Where he takes a machete goes into the plant gets eaten but still kills it. Like Jack Sparrow and the Krakan. Or maybe on where the "mean green mother" tears down the building and laughs, instead of the "Happy ending" he could have killed it by electrocution. Then his hand would loosen and release the wire as it falls the floor. And the hand falls. Indicating that he is now dead.

[LextheRobot]

@MrBagginsEsq Jack Sparrow didn't kill the Kraken. It was killed by Davy Jones, under orders from Lord Cutler Beckett.

[PeterZeeke]

how pissed does he sound at the end? wuth good reason

[1stbrasscaptain]

He should have went over the Pre-viewers heads and gone with the original ending. It would have been amazing! I think more persons would be familiar with it today if it was in its original format. I can't believe that with all of horror/slasher movies from the 80s, this they frowned upon.

2:08 Another Frank Oz (Director) Cameo, being grabed by Audrey II ( or is that Audrey III?!) Amazing model work. Perhaps with current restoration technology, Frank could have this footage Restored to match the rest of this Fanastic Flick

[pinocchiofan]

@ 4:33-34, It looks like the guy said "What the f*ck!?" lol

[pinocchiofan]

I'm just wondering, could someone please upload the newer ending that was used in the final cut?

[Red41658]

Where he went wrong is in the off-broadway show and the original 1960's movie they turned all who died into a pod... Because they were big dreamers they couldnt do that...

[CREAMFILLEDANISH85]

@noirgwio i don't think the ending on the film should be changed but i do think is should be an option to watch the movie with this ending and the old one 2gether on a D.V.D. "special addition" ,,,,,

[CREAMFILLEDANISH85]

remake ! remake ! remake ! remake !!!!! they should remake little shop of horrors , the wizard of oz , short circuit , willow , labyrinth and the dark crystal,,,,they just don't make good movies any more at all,,,,,

[jedidarrick]

Such great effort gone to waste because of a stupid test audience. Warner Brothers should let Frank Oz restore this film like Ridley Scott restored his original vision of Blade Runner. This movie's 25th Anniversary is coming up in 2011. Guess what I want for Christmas 2011 Warner Bros.?

[SkylightInTwilight]

@TheGobbledygooker They had a test audience watch the original version with this ending and it really upset them because they didn't want their beloved main characters to die.
