What about the alternate ending of “Army of Darkness”. That was completely different.

I agree about I am Legend though. When I saw that alternate ending I was like “That’s make more sense”, rather than how the original ended. I didn’t much care for the survivors he found. HE WAS SAVING THAT BACON!

I much prefer the alternate ending to 28 Days Later. If anything just for the gorgeous shot of Selena and Hannah walking down the hallway

So they shot the ending of the original play for Little Shop of Horrors but it didn't test well with the moronic focus groups so they went back and re-shot a cop-out ending. So what? It's not as though anyone familiar with the play doesn't know that.

Dawn of the Dead is pretty much my favorite horror movie, so I knew of the alternate ending. However, I didn’t know that the credits would’ve gone while seeing the blades running until the gas ran out. Very interesting.

From Wikipedia’s article on Dawn of the Dead:
Alternate ending

The finale in the final cut of the film was not what Romero had originally planned. According to the original screenplay, Peter was to shoot himself in the head instead of making a heroic escape. Fran would commit suicide by thrusting her head into the helicopter’s propeller blades. The end credits would run over a shot of the helicopter’s blades turning until the engine winds down, implying that Fran and Peter would not have had enough fuel to escape.[7] During production it was decided to change the ending of the film.

@Levi-
I’m torn between the 2 endings of Paranormal Activity. The theatrical version obviously leaves open the chance for a sequel, but the alternate had its own gut punch to it. Kind of an “Oh damn!” ending.

I have read the book, and indeed he comes to realize he is the monster. It was the original ending to I Am Legend, but screening audiences and movie executives are morons. I can’t speak for The Omega Man, because I couldn’t get through it. Awful!!!

First Blood SHOULD have ended that way, just so there wouldn’t be any Rambo movies. The only mistake: why would a Colonel in the Army carry a service weapon without already having one round in the chamber. I see this mistake every day I watch TV or see a movie- people who carry guns on a daily basis, whoever they are, have them ready to go. Hollywood loves their ultra-repetitive racking of the slides.
