Guest Lethargic Report post Posted September 26, 2002 Is the True Romance "alternate ending" just the "R" rated ending compared to the "Unrated" ending, or is it totally different? I have seen both the "R" rated ending and the "unrated" ending. I have the original release of True Romance on DVD......I am considering buying the SE, and giving away the version I have to my friend or something. I read the original script to True Romance. If it's like that, the alternate ending is that Christian Slater gets killed instead of only shot in the eye. But I haven't watched the DVD yet. Of course it was never finished so some of the scene on the DVD is actually story boards with commentary over it, not an actual scene. Has anybody else read the script for the movie? It was really weird. He wrote it originally just like Pulp Fiction. The entire movie was completely out of sequence. I'm glad he didn't direct it because I really don't think True Romance would've worked as well edited that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slater dies, Arquette still gets away and does a creepy voice over as she's driving for the border. Most of the scene WAS shot. The only storyboard image is up for maybe 5 seconds. The scene is pretty interesting in that it would have ended the movie on a completely different note. Has anybody else read the script for the movie? It was really weird.

Tony Scott was right in changing this to a linear story. The audience would'nt have been rooting as much for the couple if QT's structure was used. Both this decision and the one on the ending were good calls by Scott, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
