Little Shop of Horrors-Original Ending Pt2 (reconstructed)

[RyuDaBurninator]

HOW MANY BULLETS DOES THAT GUN HAVE!?!? lol love this movie/musical.

[TheGRJPBeatles]

The original ending WAS shot in color and was released on a 1998 dvd copy, but days later was recalled for an upcoming theatre re-release of the film, but in a studio fire shortly after that all of the color copies were destroyed leaving only the black and white copies left, therefore shattering the dream of a re-release with the original ending.

[trailersic]

@TheGRJPBeatles The DVD released in 1998 contained the B&W workprint version of the original ending. The colour version has never been seen by the public except maybe in a few preview screenings.

[DisneyAshmanDemos]

@TheGRJPBeatles Actually, David Geffen, the producer of the original theatrical production, as well as the film's producer, threatened legal action against Warner Bros. if they didn't re-release the DVD without the original ending. (He has the rights to it and he didn't give his consent on the release.) He wanted to release the original version of the film, and didn't want videos like this to happen.

[DisneyAshmanDemos]

@TheGRJPBeatles It was only in 2007, when WB tried to hunt down the original color printing of the ending for a planned DVD release, that they discovered that they had been destroyed in the studio fire, and leaving the studio with only the B&W workprint.

[DisneyAshmanDemos]

@TheGRJPBeatles However, Geffen has stated that he DOES posses a color copy of the original ending, and, with Frank Oz announcing a Blu-Ray release of the original cut, and the MPAA announcing a cut of the film entitled "Little Shop of Horrors: The Intended Cut" with a rating of PG. 13 in BULLETIN NO. 2205 (with the note "Edited version. Content is different from 'PG-13' version, BULLETIN NO. 932 (11/10/86)), it appears that we'll be getting the color copy fairly shortly.

[crazypenlonloko]

[MaxtheLegoMaster]

that mouth really is gross

[gamegamer3000]

5:38 THE SEQUAL! WHAT ABOUT THE SEQUAL?!

[TheRealBossman12]

How long did it take you to make this it's a really good reconstruction!

[littlegplumkin]

wow thanks for making this, iv always loved the film and only just found out there was an origional ending- if i handt of found it i would of been so annoyed thaat i couldnt find out how it could of ended :D

[Archaon81]

this endingg sucks a lot and is totally out of the line of the movie, making a great musical a normal b-movie.

Luckly they have chosen the right final scene for the final version.

[AEgamesFtw]

@Archaon81 other way round....

[UnsuspectingJerks]

@Archaon81 in the stage version it had this ending...sooo yea

[magicalvisions]

LOL! Whookey, your effort is very cute :)

[LonesomePine369]

you forgot to add in the scene with the little buds singing "mean green mother from outer space"

[Genogenesis7]

This video just makes me realize how much Mean Green Mother and the original ending just... Don't fit together. I mean, seriously, the song is just so... cartoony, and the ending is just so... tragic. I mean, it's like trying to jam two puzzle pieces together that just don't fit.

[fish1999]

Very well done, thanks!

[sisqokidd808]

hohahahahahaha!

[ShooterMovies]

HOLY SHI....

[Talloweed]

I love the bass in this song.

[ExclusiveCheese]

Where'd you get 5:38?

[trailersic]

the out-takes on the dvd

[thEannoyingE]

do you have the shortly lived 98 release of this film that included this ending as an extra?

[ExclusiveCheese]

The original ending is more artsy/Oscary. As NearsBestToy said, it shows consequences for one's actions. Those whiney redneck test audiences ruined what would've been the greatest film of all time. I wish David Geffen would release a restored color ending.

[haloDSismygamertag]

Wait... He made this in color? There is no color version?

[jonbotone]

even if a color version did exist

how would they get rid of frank oz's laugh

levi stubs is dead

[trailersic]

Wouldn't be hard to get a sound alike for the laugh, or possibly even have done it at the time before the end was axed

[Alnoshic]

@trailersic The guy who does Oogie Boogie on Nightmare Before Christmas kind of sounds like Levi Stubbs

[thEannoyingE]

a color version of the original everybody-dies ending did exist it was destroyed in a fire shortly after the dvd release of this ending was pulled from the shelves.

[hoop44ify]

@jonbotone WHAT DO YOU MEAN

[carloslpz]

i loved this ending. by far better than the final ending. so much more musically satisfying to hear DON'T FEED THE PLANTS on a cinematic scale

my only complaint about this ending was that Seymour's death was so un-heroic.

[Sp8d8]

@carloslpz

He fed people to a plant for his personal gain. His life was un-heroic.

[NearsBestToy]

I wish this song were in the musical....I love it hah it's one of my favorites the only thing I don't understand is why they created it for the movie (not complaining just curious) anyway I think the stage ending is way better because it shows there are consequences for one's actions

[Solachinx]

To get an Oscer for it. No, seriously.

[6271458]

great music number and a great ending!

[LeoVKMusic]

The spitting out of his glasses at the end and the satisfied laugh is delightful! :)

[XReaperBlade]

Awesome Reconstruction dude.

[gamshwfan]

It almost seems Seymour wasn't trying hard enough to destroy the plant; his delivery of the dialoge at the begining seemed more of emotion than a "tough" approach to it. Things were just as elaborate as what made it to the film. At least we know he at least tried using the gun instead of stalling as we know it. Seymour's death at the end was dramatic and heart wrenching cause we know that this movie is going to have a FIN ending. It's appropriate for something called a black comedy.

[trailersic]

I think the differences made between this and the final film were to make Seymour more heroic.

In the final film:

He distances himself from the monster taking no responsibility for the deaths.

He is angry at the plant rather than distraught.

He can't fire the gun because he's still too much of a nice guy.

He's always after weapons, the weed gun, the axe, rather than simply trying to get away.

[robertreturns]

@trailersic had they done this ending right, he'd be heroic in his death too.

[DannyandSam4EVER]

The dark ending fit the play.

The original stageplay made you like Seymour less- the deaths were more planned. In the movie, he's more luck's whipping boy- He was too stunned to do anything when Orin was dying, he didn't consciously feed Mushnik to the plant, and at the last minute warned him All in all, in the movie version, he's much more benign and just stuck in something he never understood, compared to his more malicious depiction on stage. That's why the happy ending fits the movie.

[6271458]

good job but where's part 1?

[jopanate]

I love this movie! Plus I think this ending is better. "By by semore"
