I am going to put in little shop of horrors since it is a musical. And I really would not consider it horror.
For those of you that don't know there are actually 2 versions of this movie. The original release version where the plants lose and the ORIGINAL test audience version where the plants win.
Globo Gym wins in the original version of Dodgeball, but the test audiences hated it so they added the blindfolded stand-off. I'm mostly happy they changed it, but that original ending would have been so ballsy. Also would make the subtitle better, since most "true" underdogs do lose.
Heh. Ballsy.
The director insists the alien plants winning was the original ending he wanted, but he was forced to give the film a happy ending at the last minute. The director's cut gives you the original ending in all it's evil glory.
There's also an original Little Shop of Horrors released in 1960 that stars a young Jack Nicholson. That film has a different ending than both endings of the 1986 remake.
The original ending was included on one of the recent home video releases. If you like the movie and haven't seen it yet, you really need to.
