What did you think to the alternative ending on the DVD? Personally, I'm glad they stuck with the original, but it was interesting to see the raw footage.
 
I've never seen the alternate ending. Could someone upload it to Youtube please.
 
i got the US region1 DVD before the bristish UNCUT version came out, just to see the alt. ending.
You have to watch it.

after seeing the original ending a milion time it was good to see something different.
did enjoy it, good twist.
But havent seen it for a short while as my multi region remote is dead :(
 
Affirmative. When I bought my first DVD player back in 2000, Britain had a crap choice of DVDs. I wanted Burbs, Breakfast Club etc and the only way to get them was through Amazon.com. I'm glad I got it. Whilst the original ending is best, it was cool to see the alternative. It's not bad but it just...lacks something. Well worth a watch though!
 
I love Hans in the alternate ending!

Police Detective - "What's your date of birth?"

Hans Klopek - "I dunno."

Police Detective - "You don't know when you were born?"

Hans Klopek - "No."

Police Detective - "You don't get to the beach much do ya?"

That makes me laugh every single time I watch it, I love it.
 
As I already mentioned on the imdb board: the German DVD doesn't even have the alternative ending. It has virtually no features at all. I'm glad at least it features the film itself.

Well could somebody tell me in a few words what happens in that alternative ending? Thanks!
 
Hey! I know this is an old thread but here it is on youtube - the

Also there's another upload of

Anyway so I think why the alternate ending lacks something is because the pacing is much slower. They did well to use the one they went with because after all the build up, the Klopek house exploding, all the drama that came out of that event where the once quiet cul-de-sac was full of people, emergency, and police vehicles, and all that commotion - the alternate ending would have slowed it all down to a grinding halt. It was out of pace with the previous scenes.
