Alternate ending

[deleted]

I've just seen it and they had yet another different ending, in that they shot the two lovers. And I don't think it was the nine shot ending mentioned below because I definitely only heard 2 shots.

While it was a bit corny, I liked the first alternate ending the best. Where Charlie almost shoots them, then changes his mind and gives them a little bit of money to be on their way.

Funniest part was when Lono tells Max as they leave, "I liked you a lot better when you were mean".

I love dark endings on lots of movies (like Reservoir Dogs), but I never saw Suicide Kings as much of a dark, gritty drama. Only 2 people died in the movie (the fake kidnapping scumbags in the hotel room) and the movie made me laugh probably more times than any Adam Sandler movie.

So I dont understand the whole line... "oh well, it was too dark a movie to end on happy note". It was a Comedy first and foremost I think.

Anyways, still one of my favorite movies of all time. Glad they gave us the altnerate endings. In my mind, I'll just pick the one I like =)

How many endings are there? The one I saw was the one that ended with 2 gun shots

My problem with the ending was that Max and Elise were smart enough to plan and execute a highly intricate caper but stupid enough to "escape" on a yacht that must have been registered somewhere and could have been easily traced. To make a clean getaway in their situation they should -- for example -- have boarded a Greyhound-type bus (where the drivers don't verify IDs)and gone somewhere without leaving a trail. On arriving at the bus's destination they should have boarded another bus headed for some other destination, gotten off before the bus arrived at that destination and then offered some random guy lots of cash in exchange for his car no-questions-asked. At that point even Charlie with all his connections would have had a very hard time finding them even in the highly unlikely event he could have found out about the first bus they boarded. The fact that this is just one of several simple and successful strategies they could have employed makes their decision to buy a highly conspicuous and easily traced seaworthy craft like a yacht seem a far too lame-brained choice for a couple that had pulled off such a complicated caper.
