Welcome everybody to episode 10 of The Weekly Planet, The Weekly Planet Welcome everybody to episode 10 of The Weekly Planet, official podcast of ComicBookMovie.com My name is James, junior editor at ComicBookMovie

You may know me as Mr. Sunday I thought you were going to say my name is James Jr. Do you remember James Bond Jr. the TV show? Yes, of course I do Ah, but he wasn't an actual junior No, he was his nephew And there was always that really awkward scene where he'd introduce himself He'd go, my name's Bond. James Bond. James Bond Jr. Oh wow. So he'd say the whole thing. Oh, that's, yeah. He never had any friends. Shit show.

Yeah. I don't remember it very well. Out of the gate. Trailblazing opinions. Joining me as always is my co-host, James Bond Jr. fanatic. That's me. Nick Mason. Hey, pal. What's up? I'm good. I'm excellent. I'm recording slightly delayed today because there was a fly in the room and you ran around Walter White obsessively trying to swat at it and negotiate its safe passage out of the

room. It was... It would have driven me crazy. I should have put the video on YouTube because... Millions of hits. So many millions.

Yeah. Fantastic stuff. One of these days you'll get through an entire intro of this show without me interrupting. That's fine. It's not today.

Why would we? What do we do today? Good question. Well, as we discussed earlier, this week we're talking alternative endings to popular comic book movies I've written here some clever, some wacky, some boring

And some quite frankly not worth talking about Let's talk about them anyway Exactly I've got quite a few actually Some of them aren't strictly comic book movies But all of them have at least big comic book properties Kind of based on them or spinning off from them I'm somewhat capable of talking about things that aren't comic book movies.

Good. Yeah. Excellent. I mean, evidence will bear that out one way or the other today, but maybe not. We'll see. I'm not confident, I'll be honest with you. We've got news to start with, though. I've got two things to talk about for news.

I'm ready. Let's talk about news. You like to keep the news a secret, don't you? Yes. I want to be surprised by news. You want it to be news. Yeah. Not old. Precisely. I think to be surprised by news. You want it to be news. Yeah. Not old.

Precisely. I think I stole that from a Ricky Gervais podcast. I'm pretty sure I did. He can keep that one. It's fine. Okay. First off, Jeff Johns, DC's chief creative officer, has said that Aquaman is a priority character for DC.

Hinting at the fact we may be getting an Aquaman movie. What do you think? It's never going to work. Are you serious? I would love to see an Aquaman. I'm probably not. Do It's never going to work. Are you serious? I would love to see an Aquaman. I'm probably not. Do you mean never going to get off the ground or not going to work? I don't even.

Aquaman, in theory, I enjoy the character. Yep. But realistically, he's just sort of stuck around because people at DC Editorial like him for some reason. Like they like the orange scaly shirt. Yeah, I like that. they like his hair or whatever but i think you you're the one who introduced me to aquaman because i think in the late 90s you gave me some of the jla grant morrison's jla run okay sure and um the villain one of the white martians goes to him spoiler alert yeah it's it's fucking it's 15 it's 15 years old so whatever it is

yeah but um how he's like you can't stop me Aquaman you're useless and he like gives him a brain seizure yeah

like he goes into his head attacks his like fish part of his brain uh huh sure you know and the fish that lives in his brain the fish that lives in all of our brains yeah

yeah he's good in that and he's well written in that yeah I don't know there's so much potential in Aquaman but it's never been

have you ever it's never been realised have you read the new 52 stuff nope it's pretty good alright then and they actually play off the fact that they're like

but he's a dumb fish man yeah he's a dumb fish man because they're like there's a scene at the start where he stops a bank robbery like in the middle of the city or you know near the coast

and they're like and the cop's like what are you doing here? And one of them goes, do you want a glass of water? And they all kind of smirk. Nice. So there's a little stuff. So they kind of acknowledge it.

All right, okay. And so, yeah. And someone even says to him in it, how does it feel to be everybody's least favorite superhero? That's pretty good. And he flips out. Okay, here's the thing, though. They can do that in a comic book world.

They've got a lot of scope for that. Yeah. Now, attempt to put that in a Man of Steel universe. Yeah. Good point. Because you can't, he can't be in that universe

that's very, very, very grim and serious but also be a fish man who talks to fish. Well, and he specifies in this as well,

he doesn't talk to fish. He can manipulate what they're going to do because they've got small fish minds. Maybe that's fish racist? I don't know. It's certainly a fish retcon, isn't it do because they've got small fish minds. Oh. Maybe that's fish racist. I don't know. It's certainly a fish retcon, isn't it?

That they've, in the past, he could always talk to fish. He could, yeah. Like, hey, what's going on, Aquaman? And he was all like... Shut up. Shut up. Why do all these fish talk to me? I don't like it.

Yeah, well, he said a few other things. He said the ocean setting could work to a writer's advantage. Do you think ocean movies, like ocean levels in video games, are the worst movies? Like Ocean's Eleven? Like Ocean's Eleven. Yeah. Do you like ocean movies? The deep, deep blue sea?

Sea. Beyond the Sea. Beyond the Sea. That's a good movie. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, ocean levels are always the worst levels. They are. So whatever movie tie-in is going to be the worst game ever are so whatever movie tie in is gonna be

the worst game ever it's basically gonna be Echo the Dolphin yeah I was gonna say Echo the Dolphin and he also said they've had they've pushed in the past

for years like on developing his personality his supporting cast his personality yeah he's got a personality yeah and his enemies like

Black Manta and Ocean Master so he's two enemies yes name another one Mirror Mirror initially a mirror no his wife whatever M-E-R-A oh right is that how you say it and Ocean Master. So he's two enemies. Yes. Name another one. Mirror. Mirror.

Initially. A mirror. No, his wife, whatever. M-E-R-R-A. Oh, right. Is that how you say it? Mirror? Mirror.

It's one of those things where I read it in my head and then I say it out loud. I'm like, I may have been saying that wrong this whole time. Yeah. Yeah. I may have been saying that wrong this whole time. One of mine was Segway. Go on. S-E-G-U-E. Oh, right.

I always read that as Seg. Like a Seg. But then, Segway. Yeah. I always read that is seg like a seg but then segway do you hate Aquaman's water hand is that what this is no that's probably

the best thing about him really you love the water hand I like the water hand I like a harpoon hand I don't like the harpoon hand I wish he had a water hand and a harpoon hand and like an outboard

mode of foot that would be pretty great wouldn't it that would be pretty great so yeah that it? That would be pretty great. So yeah, that's all the Aquaman news this week, and probably ever. Say so, yes. Look, I would love to see... Oh, so he's getting his own animated film.

Wow, they're just so nuts with that. I think it's a possibility. I don't think that counts as... If you can pull off Thor... Steady on. You can pull off Aquaman. I guess so. Who would have thought Thor was possible

I did okay well done I didn't know you I've got no evidence of that yeah yeah okay

but an animated feature I don't think really counts as anything oh completely there's tons of them you're absolutely right but um you know

I don't think it's very it's just a thing it sure is I love it second piece of news it was revealed this week although it may have been already revealed or confirmed. I can't remember.

News to me that Harry Osborn will be in Spider-Man 2. That I knew. But he'll be the Green Goblin, skipping over the Norman Osborn. Straight away. I assume they'll be skipping over it, yeah. So he's up against Rhino in a mechanical Rhino costume. Who was it again?

It's bloody... Paul Giamatti. There we go. Love it. Who's apparently only in it for the first 20ino. Yep. In a mechanical Rhino costume. Who was it again? It's bloody... Paul Giamatti. There we go. Love it. Who's apparently only in it for the first 20 minutes. Okay. Jamie Foxx's Electro. Villain overload.

I'm smelling villain overload. And, yeah. I'm smelling Batman and Robin. Well, spoiler alert for those who haven't, aren't aware of what happens to Gwen Stacy. Yep. The Green Goblin. Norman Osborn kills her, right? Yep.

So maybe it'll be different this time. Or maybe it'll be exactly the same. I mean, technically, I think it was gravity that killed her. Was it? Yeah. Oh, I thought you meant the superhero gravity. No, no, no. I was like, what?

Yeah. What am I thinking? Just a real prick of a guy. Just... No, okay. What I would like to see... And they hinted at the shocker this week as well and a few others

that's going to confuse people electronic shocker big time I mean they're different power sets but people aren't going to one's a quilt man yeah one's a quilt man exactly

one's Dr. Manhattan in a hoodie yeah exactly where's that gone I've lost my train of thought where were we Bill and Overlord oh they're Harry Osborn I hope they kind of

I hope Norman Osborn becomes the Green Goblin. He crashes into the side of a building and he dies

and then... Immediately. Yeah, immediately. And then all the rubble falls on Harry Osborn

and he's like, Father! Yeah. I really hope so too. Why not? Yeah.

Streamline the whole process, aren't they? The trailer's actually out Tuesday, so we can talk about

that. By the time this comes out it'll probably be out. But I think it actually looks pretty good. I was very Why not? Yeah. It's streamlined the whole process, aren't they? The trailer's actually out Tuesday, so we can talk about that. Well, by the time this comes out, it'll probably be out. But, I think it actually looks pretty good. I was very sceptical at the start. And the Mark Webb,

the director, kept tweeting a whole lot of hints and tidbits about it for like months and months in advance. And I'd read it and be like, I don't care about this. Like, it's the least interesting sequel ever.

Because I didn't love The Amazing Spider-Man. It's okay. But it was completely unnecessary. But the more I see of this one, it's not as dark and dark knight-y as they kind of made the other one. It looks more kind of comic book-y, which is good.

And I think you can put a few of his villains in it. If you could do... If you've got Rhino at the start, and for a little bit, you've always got a montage of beating up some of his close friends. If we start the film and you know for a little bit he always got a montage of beating up some of his closest friends but you know if we start the film and he's just this is his

day to day now he's just fighting costume villains I'm totally okay with that yeah awesome so best movie ever yeah sounds like

the best movie ever definitely yeah pretty great cool alright well we'll talk about that more next week though unless the trailer doesn't come out

do you think Mark Webb directing Spider-Man is one of those Hollywood things where they had all the potential directors laid out on a table? Yeah. Not the directors. Yeah. Maybe they just had the directors laid out on a table.

And they're like... The actual directors. Yeah, the actual directors. Now they're thinking, why not? It's Hollywood. And they were just like, Mark Webb, that's funny. Spiders make webs. You know what?

We're idiots. Let's give this 175 million dollars you know that has crossed my mind I'm not going to say that that's completely true because I'm probably going to be used for it but sure why not it's got to play a factor on it's got to play a part

on some subconscious level yes anyway yeah whatever now I thought we'd do a rating system for these uh well we're getting into the alternative endings okay i'm ready cool with that yep i thought of a rating system it's similar to our other one it's our world famous best movie ever worst movie ever system that people love the rating system is better worse or what i love like what okay

great because some of these are pretty weird so are you cool with that yep or just you know well we don't have a rating system we forget it immediately okay sounds good

we just ramble we just ramble we lose track we'll be pretty great okay excellent now the first one I've picked here this is the reason

I actually decided to do this one or we decided to do this for a topic can I butt in no oh no you sent me the email

you sent me the list of movies and you said hey can you describe oh yeah list of movies, and you said, hey, can you describe movies? Oh, yeah, that's right, sorry. Whether you remember them or not. Yeah. I'm actually surprised you haven't done this earlier.

It's an entire podcast predicated on the fact that I don't know anything about anything. So I have to sling both your honesty and your ingenuity. I don't know how it's going to turn out, but I'm ready. Oh, awesome. Good, good. I don't know how it's going to turn out, but I'm ready. Oh, awesome. Good, good. I haven't done any research. Why would you?

I think I even said specifically, don't watch any of these if you haven't seen them. Great, here we go. I'll just wing it. Okay. So the reason I started to do this because they released the Wolverine deleted scene. I don't know if you saw this, but I'll talk about that in a minute. But can you tell me, describe to the listeners what the ending to The Wolverine was? Okay.

So Wolverine's in a silo of some sort, right? He's in a silo. I assume it's filled with wheat because that's what you put in a silo. Okay. So he's fighting a silver samurai robot. Yep. Filled with a Japanese man. Spoilers for all of these, by the way.

Too late. Spoilers for all of these by the way Too late And then there's that woman Who has weird Poison slash Centipede robot powers She's there And he fights her

And then he gets his claws chopped off With a big hot knife And then everything's fine Yeah And then he goes on a plane Then he meets Future slash past slash present day Professor X and Magneto. You're absolutely right.

You've nailed it. I didn't remember the silo thing at all. Was that in a silo? Probably was. Was it a missile silo, maybe? Doesn't matter. Sure. The ending here was that when they get on the plane,

Yukio, his Japanese friend, gives him a case and inside the case is the classic Wolverine costume. The yellow one. The yellow one. The yellow one. Have you seen this clip? I think I've seen a still from it. They didn't put it in for obvious reasons. What obvious reasons?

Because it looked ridiculous? Because you can imagine him putting it over his face and just people laughing in the cinema? Just ruining all the dramatic tension

they've built? Is that why? That's why. That's what I've got written here. That's the obvious reason. No, it says it was

taped. The director said he took it out because it wasn't a good fit. And apparently it didn't test well because people were

confused. Because if you don't know anything about the Wolverine, your only understanding of him would be the Hugh Jackman version. Yeah, yeah.

He doesn't wear a mask ever. He doesn't wear a mask ever. Yeah. Sometimes he wears a leather suit. Sometimes he wears a leather jacket. Sometimes he's Peter Allen. Sometimes he takes advice from a kindly old couple in the woods even though he's like a hundred years older than them and would therefore be wiser than them.

He'd have more wisdom than both of them put together. But now we've got the age-old question. Is age a sign of wisdom? Yes. There we go. I've answered it. There we go, listeners. We did it again.

Profound. He also said that it created expectations for the next film that he was going to be in the suit. Yeah, and that would look ridiculous. Would it look ridiculous, though, back in the past, though? First class era.

Absolutely not. No, it would look quite good. If you put him in a 1970s-ish kind of Wolver wool brand suit yeah sure why not at a play i think it's good that they took it out i don't think it really serves any purpose it really would confuse people it was nice to say it i guess yeah but you're right people would be like why what is the significance of the yellow and he wouldn't wear that. No, exactly. Yeah. Hmm. Maybe if it were more samurai-ish.

Yeah. And you'd think, oh, okay, it's symbolic of him being, you know, entering that culture and earning his place or whatever. Yeah. But just because it looks like... Makes no sense. The other thing is, it's very specific to him, because I looked at it closely. She would have to get his measurements, and also it's got the slits on the gloves where his claws come out. Uh-huh.

So, it was very specific to him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I don't know how she made that. You're right, that is weird. Yeah. Anyway, whatever. Better, worse, or what? Worse.

Yeah. Definitely worse. Nice to see it. Good little deleted scene. But, um, good call. Mm-hmm. Next one. Superman 2, 1980. You seen this one? Yes. Or is it not 1980 you seen this one yes it doesn't matter does it

the 80s yep good the 80s uh all i remember is he beats up zod and then he goes back to that cabin or whatever it is that bar and he beats up all those guys that one guy that one guy just puts him in a pie yeah okay oh okay. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Just when you're the most powerful man in the world, what's great is a vindictive streak. And what he does is he gets in there and he... Well, he has that in Man of Steel as well. Yeah, I suppose.

I love that bit, actually. Not so much the track, but you know the bit where the guy just shoves him and he's like a wall, like he doesn't even move. I was like, well, that's cool. Anyway, sorry, go on. Am I correct in that? That's it. That's pretty much the ending. Did I miss anything? Well, the cellophane S that he throws, you missed. Oh, yeah, that's a good point. I was like, well, that's cool. Anyway, sorry, go on. Am I correct in that? That's it. That's pretty much the ending.

Did I miss anything? Well, the cellophane S that he throws, you missed. Oh, yeah, that's a good point. I'll just keep, sure. And where he wipes Lois Lane's memory with a kiss. Kiss, yeah, okay, that's good, yeah. But none of that has to do with anything. The deleted scene, and it's shown in one TV version.

US Polar Patrol is shown picking up the three Kryptonians. A what thing? A Polar Patrol. Polar Patrol. That's what it says. All right. It's shown picking up the three Kryptonians and A what thing? A polar patrol. A polar patrol. That's what it says. All right. Lex shown picking up the three Kryptonians and Lex Luthor at the end of the film,

which means that they didn't die. Right. Which means he didn't kill them. So isn't that interesting? It is. He didn't just throw them into a pit of nothingness. Or Zod. He didn't actually.

No, he only threw Zod. Lois Lane pushed the woman. Lois Lane is also a murderer yeah and the big guy went to fly and just fell yeah okay

so but they're still alive huh and it also then ends with oh because they got depowered they got depowered okay right yeah so I guess you could just lock them up

and then slap them yeah yeah that's true yeah but it also and then it also ends with I'm okay with what do you think of that bit if they showed them being alive

yeah that makes sense more in the in a superhero movie in the 80s. Yeah. You're going to be fine. Yeah. It's A-Team style. You know, hey, you alright?

I'm alright. I'm fine. Yeah. That would make more sense. It's weird that they did seemingly kill them. Love is Slain, especially. That's weird. A lot of people reference that movie as well as why it's okay that Superman killed Zod.

Right, yeah. Because they're like well he did it in the 80s but like he also built a wall with his eyes in the 80s a lot of stuff

was acceptable in the 80s yeah anyway I'm not going to get into that so you think it's better is there more to that

there's a little bit more the ending of this version also is Superman with Lois standing behind him and he destroys the fortress of solitude don't like that

why why would you do that why would he do that? That's Iron Man 3 style. I'll just destroy all my suits and then the Avengers show up and they're like, hey, we're going on another mission. And he's like, well. I need a week.

Give me a week. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, that bit I don't like so much. So we're going to say best for the first one. Not best. What was our rating again? Better.

Better or worse. I'm going to go what? Okay, yeah, fair point. I love it. What an odd combination.

Also, where does this TV version show up? How did it end up in the world? Good question. How did one TV station get it?

It just said in one TV version. Sounds made up. Well, that's what they say. What? Apparently it's a filmed scene

that's been filmed. We know actually Brian he wanted Jude Law if the Superman returns to play Zod. Oh, yeah? And when he didn't get him, he went, nah, we're going to do Lex Luthor again. Oh, right. He would have been a good Zod.

I would have liked to see, if they did do that, that Superman's got Zod in prison at the Fortress of Solitude. Like, he's just been there the whole time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's just gone crazy. I would have liked that. Yeah. But then again, I also would have liked a good Superman movie, so...

That's fine. Yep. Okay, next one. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from 1990. The original Ninja Turtles film, which I would argue still holds up. Go. When you say that, when was the last time you watched it? We watched it at Brian's house about eight years ago.

Huh. Do you remember that? Good old Brian. I don't remember that. Not Brian, Brendan. No, I don't remember that. Do you think that's important that I get that name right? I think it is, yeah, for everybody listening, definitely.

Okay, so Shredder falls off the roof. Yep. Lands in the garbage truck. Yep. Casey Jones kills him. Yeah. He just crushes him. Well, supposedly kills him. He comes back, but yeah. Right, right, right. truck, Casey Jones kills him, just crushes him. Well, supposedly kills him.

He comes back, but yeah. Right, right, right. For all intents and purposes, yeah. He meant to kill him. He goes, oops, and then he pulls the lever down quite dramatically on purpose. And then Splinter says cowabunga, I think. Doesn't he? Yes, he does.

Makes it funny, yeah. Okay, I remember that. That's pretty much it. Huh. This ending comes after that. A deleted epilogue shows April O'il Entering the offices Of a comic book publisher To pitch the idea Of a Ninja Turtles comic

But only to have it Shot down for being Too far fetched Worse Much worse It's so meta It is Yeah

Oh no Oh no And they'd They'd really And it'd just be so Smug It's Oh

And just so over Oh It doesn't That it'd never be so smug. It's, oh, just so over, oh, it doesn't, that'd never sell. Oh, you know. Also,

what's she doing? Why, why does she need to make extra money? That's a good point. On the side by going to a comic publisher. She's a pretty successful reporter. Yeah, yeah. And also,

no, isn't, isn't, no, it's not in that movie where everybody figures out that they're real, is it? Cause if it was like too far fetched, and then she was like,

well, they were on television, they wrapped with vanilla ice that time. That should have been the ending after too. She goes in, and he's like, in your face, vanilla ice wrapped with them.

Yeah. So there was a, a couple of years ago, there was a animated sort of special called Ninja Turtles Forever. I've seen that, or bits of it, yeah.

Yeah, where the 80s Ninja Turtles team up, the 80s animated Ninja Turtles Forever. I've seen that. Oh, bits of it, yeah. Yeah, where the 80s Ninja Turtles team up, the 80s animated Ninja Turtles team up with the modern day animated Ninja Turtles. Not the modern modern, like the 2003 modern.

The 2003 modern, I'm so sorry. And then in turn they team up with the original Mirage comics. Yeah. The black and white. Yeah, the black and white

Ninja Turtles to save the universe from Shredder yeah but at the end of that we see them being drawn by the original creators in the 80s I think

oh god my brain so it kind of worked I guess as a little tribute it was fun yeah I only watched clips of that

I thought it was a cool little yeah it was a cool little thing to do but I wasn't really like I'm not going to sit down no don't sit down. It's a hobbling, yeah.

Yeah. If you go back to those Ninja Turtles cartoons from the 80s and 90s, they're not very good. Like, they're like wow.

You know, you go back to Batman and the anime. And that's when you say by man he thinks the 1990 Teenage Ninja Turtles movie really holds up.

I said it somewhat holds up. Okay, fine. And by that I mean it's the best movie ever made. Huh. I wasn't allowed to say that movie when I was a kid.

Actually, no, I wasn't. And I lost my mind. I was like, how could you not want to see this? I don't know, so it was probably on TV, I guess. Wow. Yeah. And did they soften their stance? Were they like, okay, since it's on TV, or did you sneak your way into it?

I think I just saw it on TV. I think they didn't care at that point. This is my parents, by the way. You knew that was the story about my parents. Yes, exactly. But I got to see it too. I think they didn't care at that point. This is my parents, by the way. You knew I was talking about my parents. Yes, exactly. But I got to see two. Not the schoolyard bully. You're about to go to the cinema and he's like, nope, not happening.

Nerd. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, yeah, okay. I saw two at the cinema. There's a bit of trivia for you. It's pretty great. Here's one.

Ah, best, or no, sorry, worse, right? Yeah, worse. Yeah, way worse. Agree. Way worse. Here we go. This is a good one. Empire Strikes Back. Uh- worse. Yeah, way worse. Agree. Way worse. Here we go. This is a good one. Empire Strikes Back.

Not a comic book movie. Yep. There's at least one Star Wars comic. Am I right? Yeah, but it's pop culture. That's fine. No, I didn't. They're actually doing a run of Star Wars at the moment.

They're using George Lucas' original screenplay, and they're making it in comic book form. It's all different and changed, and Han Solo's a lizard man. Oh, the original screenplay. The original, original. Who's publishing this? Dark Horse? I think it's... It must be Dark Horse. It must be different and changed and hence all those Lizard Man. Oh, the original screenplay. The original, original. Who's publishing this? Dark Horse?

I think it must be Dark Horse. It must be, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's going to be versus aliens. It's going to be

great. Yeah, okay. All right. Luke Skywalker gets a bit of the old choppy chop. Yep. Gets picked up

by the Millennium Falcon. Yep, that's how you say it. Yep. Big revelations happen prior to that. What's the revelation? It's the Luke and the Millennium Falcon. Yep, that's how you say it. Yep. Big revelations happen prior to that. What's the revelation?

It's the Luke and Darth Vader and the father and the thing. You're right. Yeah, good. And the Carbonite. And the Carbonite. Han Solo gets dropped in Carbonite. These are out of order. Or in order.

It doesn't matter. You've somehow remembered the ending to the most popular movie of all time. Yeah, right. Pretty good, aren't they? Pretty good, yeah. It's easily the best Star Wars. Am I right? Yes. Definitely. Okay, right on. Pretty good, aren't they? Pretty good, yeah. It's easily the best Star Wars, am I right? Yes.

Definitely. Okay, so there was an alternative script, an original unused draft, which George Lucas didn't particularly like. Some of the elements are there, but a lot of it's changed.

I'll tell you a bit of the stuff that's changed and I'll tell you the new ending. Lizard Man. No Lizard Man. Oh. So this was after

the success of Star Wars. Okay, right. So you're coming off the back of that. Uh-huh. The ending itself isn't that interesting, but I find the other stuff that was changed interesting.

So originally Luke was not Vader's son. Lando was a clone left over from the Clone Wars. Okay. And it includes a Luke and Leia love scene. Oh boy. Okay, I enjoy the fact that if any of that were true in Attack of the Clones, they'd

all be Lando Calrissian. That would be great. They'd all be Billy Dee Williams. Yes. That would be pretty incredible. Yeah. So, better, based solely on that. Yep.

Look at Leia love scene. I think that thing in Return of the Jedi was added pretty late in the game. Because it's not hinted at at all that they're brother and sister. Yeah, I think... And it was supposed to be that they were going to bring in a new character. Yeah. And that was going to be his sister. Because Yoda's like, you know, there is another Skywalker.

Oh, I see. And everyone's like, who's the other Skywalker? And they're like, oh, it's Leia, don't worry about it. Yeah, okay. And that's kind of... Well, see, you can't really win either way there. Because if you just introduced another character and said, by the way, that's your sister. We haven't seen her for the previous two movies, but that's her.

She's the best Jedi ever also. Then people would be like, well, that's her she's the best Jedi ever also then people will be like well that's ridiculous why would you yeah well George Lucas was originally just going to keep making sequels though oh I see right

and then he just went nah that happened okay well I see that now yeah yeah I guess the Luke-Leia thing the brother and sister thing that was added very late in the game

yep is that because Han Solo became sort of the breakout more popular character than Luke? possibly yeah they were like well we need to give him a a love interest yeah let's just switch some stuff out here i think it's good the way they do that because and like you'd think looking at the first one that she'd end up with luke uh-huh and i'm glad they didn't do it that way though but they went you know what she wouldn't end up with luke she'd go with this super fucking cool guy yeah yeah yeah so yeah anyway

but the actual ending was though that um that also those changes side note Luke and Leia did they do it or not

yeah well there's a love scene it's a love scene no but I mean in the existing do you reckon they did it do you reckon

they did it mate definitely yeah better yeah gross gross but hot mostly mostly no mostly gross mate. Definitely. Yeah, better, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh. Gross. Gross. But hot.

Mostly. Mostly. No, mostly gross. I think I just freaked someone out just listening to that. Anyway, yeah,

I don't like those. I'm glad they changed that stuff. Except for Lando's clone thing, but like Luke not being Vader's son, that's an interesting

He's got the tweedly moustache. Yeah. All the clones have the moustache. So gross. But like the Vader's son thing, I'm glad they changed that. tweedly moustache. Yeah. All the clones have the moustache. So great. But the Vader's son thing I'm glad they

changed that. I think that makes it more interesting. Anyway the original ending is pretty much the same except Luke doesn't lose his hand which is less

interesting and everyone including Han gets away. So that's way less interesting right? What a cliffhanger that movie is. Yeah.

And the few sequels have actually managed to replicate because a lot of sequels try to do the Han Solo kind of cliffhanger ending. Second Pirates of the Caribbean movie does it

where like Johnny Depp steps inside the Kraken and he disappears. And it's supposed to be like will Captain Jack be back? Yeah, of course he will because he's the main character or whatever.

Or the most popular character. Han Solo, I think Harrison Ford wasn't actually originally signed up to do Return of the Jedi. So they were like we we'll freeze him. And then the next one, they were like, no, he's dead.

Don't worry about it. Look, the freezing process didn't really take. He's so dead. We said it did, but it didn't. Yeah, it's just a real block. Hey, have you ever told your Han Solo story on the internet? Your Harrison Ford story? I think I have, but that was probably a long time ago.

Please recap. Okay, sure. It delights me. Okay, I actually heard this from the guy who plays Spartacus. You know, Liam McIntyre. I used to know him a bit. Yeah. He used to work at a cinema near me.

He's a super cool dude, that guy, by the way. Have you met him? No, maybe. You probably have. Great guy, Liam McIntyre. I have very little memory for Hollywood superstars that I meet, so maybe I didn't. I don't know. Yeah.

Anyway, he used to manage a cinema. Uh-huh. Not actually that long ago. Anyway, they had the... I think the movie was Firewall. Oh, sure. Harrison Ford's Firewall. And then Harrison Ford came out to promote it.

And anyway, Harrison Ford is notorious for hating Star Wars and not wanting to talk about Star Wars and being a grumpy prick. Like, generally, right? I like him, but he is a grumpy prick. Yeah. But of course he's going to be. and being a grumpy prick. Like, generally, right? I like him, but he is a grumpy prick. But of course he's going to be. You do a movie 30 years ago, and every day someone's like,

hey, what do you think about Han Solo? Do you think he'll ever be Han Solo again? Yeah. What do you think Han Solo's doing now? Do you think he's tending his space garden? I think he is. I've made some drawings. Here they are.

Do they let you keep the vest? Yeah. Anyway, so basically, there was a guy who was there, who was waiting to see Harrison Ford. And he was in a wheelchair. And he was waiting there all day. Yeah, I know, right? He was waiting there all day. And he had with him a statue that he'd made. A Han Solo statue. waiting there all day um and he had with him a statue that he'd made a hand solo statue and

i assume everyone was like i hope this goes well yeah like you know because like so harrison ford turns up and he sees this guy and he goes over and he and he like bends down in front of him and he's like hey man what's happening like that's amazing what you've made here and the guy also had a scrapbook and harrison ford sat down with him and they flicked through the scrapbook together and he showed him the whole process of how he made and harrison ford's sitting there like oh that's great look at this that's incredible anyways at the end he turns to him um he turns to him and goes you know what this whole thing you've done it was all worth it good on you and the guy like just burst into tears it's like the best story

that's the best story ever because there's a lot of tension in it because you don't know which way that's gonna go he could have just just smashed that over the guy's head just smashed that statue so there's stuff like that that makes me think a lot of the stuff in hollywood like usually when hollywood people snap or gr, it's normally at publicity people or people being interviewed. But I think, like, regular people on the street, for the most part, I think actors in general would be pretty thankful, I'd imagine. I would imagine so, yeah.

And have a lot of time. I mean, maybe, or maybe it's just Harrison Ford. But that really surprised me. Not that I thought he was a prick, but since I heard that, I'm like, that's fucking awesome. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, there you go. There's my third-hand Harrison Ford story.

That's pretty good. That I heard from Liam McIntyre superstar although potentially six days a week he murders someone who mentions Star Wars and it's just covered up

because he's rich we don't know he covers it up with his fireball money you know he sure does yeah but anyway

that ending better or worse or neither or what worse yeah I agree worse yeah

All right. Blade. Next one's Blade from 1998. Yep. What's happened at the end of Blade, Mason? He hits him with all the injecty thingies, and then he blows... Hits who with who? Stephen Dorff. Stephen Dorff hits... No, Wesley Snipes, Blade. Brackets Blade. Hits Stephen Dorff, Deacon Frost.

Yeah. I remember his name. Yep. With all the injecty thingies, with the injecty serum that... The poison blood or whatever. That Chris Christopherson made. Yep. And he blows up like a puffer name. Yep. With all the injecty thingies, with the injecty serum. The poison blood or whatever. That Chris Christopherson made. Yep. And he blows up like a puffer fish.

Yep. And then he explodes, I think. Yeah, absolutely right. And then, Blade goes to Russia. You remember that? Yeah, he goes to Russia. I don't remember that at all. I think that might be the post-credits sequence.

But he's like, hey, do svidaniya vampires comrades what a great movie Brian pretty great it was good I don't really remember it to be honest I think I mean

Blade is to thank be thanked for a lot for kicking off the comic book movie genre definitely because then people say it was X-Men

some people say it was Spider-Man but it was actually the Captain America movie from the early 90s yeah it sure was yeah so this is the actual ending though

not the actual ending sorry this is the initial one so uh Dorf instead of being kicked with all those things or maybe he does that happen

he then becomes a sort of a blood monster whirlwind CGI blood monster with Steven Dorf's face worse already worse

I've actually seen this and then that blood monster you've seen this I think it was on the DVD right which I definitely this. And then that blood monster... You've seen this. I think it was on the DVD. Right. Which I definitely own. Yeah.

And the blood monster tornado eventually succumbs to the poison and gets stabbed by a blade. How do you stab a tornado? Well, he stabs it with like a big swizzle stick. Like one you'd use to swizzle a martini. He just sort of swooshes it around in there. It's a real big one. So he gets a really big Q-tip. He gets it in there and he soaks it all in. What year did this movie come out?

1998. That was not a good year for CGI. No, it wasn't. You cannot, there's nothing worse, actually there's one thing worse than a CGI final battle, an all CGI final battle, and that's an all-CGI final battle in the 90s. Because they could not do it. No. And the thing was, though, people were under the impression at the time that, oh, CGI can

do anything. Like, you can do anything, yes. But this does not look good. No. Like, you can make whatever you want. Have you ever seen Lost in Space? I quite like Lost in Space. There's a CGI monkey in it.

Don't remember that. Like, an alien monkey. And it looks literally like a hand-drawn cartoon. Like, it's amazing. It looks like something that fell out of Roger Rabbit. Wow. It's the worst thing ever. But anyway, what do you think of the vampire tornado?

Worst, worst, most worst. Why would you? I'm going to say what. Okay, good, yeah. Yeah, blood tornado. That's a really good point, yeah. This next one's a short one. This one's from Thor 2011.

Ooh. What happens at the end of Thor? Thor? Yep. Rainbow Bridge, they break the Rainbow Bridge. Yep. Loki flies out into deep space. Yep.

That's it. And Thor gets trapped. Oh, right. On Asgard. Because the Rainbow Bridge is... Rainbow Bridge? It's Rainbow Bridges. It's Rainbow Bridges.

Got all kinds of tears in them. Still in the wash. Yeah. But, um, so basically what happens after that in this scene, it's actually quite a nice scene, but it's Jane Foster sets up a beacon to help Thor find Earth again. Oh. But you know what though? Yes.

It is a nice scene, but it makes sense they cut it out because he knows where Earth is. Yeah, he does, doesn't he? He's not coming back. It's clearly because something has gone wrong. Right. Or he's dead. Oh, yeah. Like, but he knows where earth is

so it's kind of pointless yeah worse yep I agree yeah I think it's a nice little deleted scene but worse

okay I've got a few Terminator ones coming up do you think a lot of these are going to result in us saying that alternate ending was better

surely not I've got at least one here that is better maybe two okay good depending okay roll the dice here we go alternate ending was better? Surely not. I've got at least one here that is better. Alright. Maybe two. Okay, good. Depending.

Okay. Roll the dice. Here we go. This one is for Terminator 1 from 1984. What happened at the end of Terminator 1 in 1984? Yeah.

Also, I think it should have been called Terminator 1 from the start. I think that makes it a better film. Well, if I say the Terminator people get confused. They do, yeah.

You know? Anyway, so go on. Okay, so she crush The Terminator, people get confused. They do, yeah. You know? Anyway, so go on. Okay, so she crushes The Terminator in the press, right? She does. Yep. She goes, you're fucking terminated. No, she doesn't. She does, but in the TV.

Something like that. She does swear. Or she says, you're terminated, fucker. Or something like that. In the TV version, they took it out. So for years, I didn't know that. Because I just said a VHS copy. You didn't think there was any bad language in that film?

Or any adult themes at all? I didn't think there was any bad language in that film or any adult themes at all. I didn't think there was any bad language in the world. Wow. Oh, how times have changed, eh? They sure have. Yeah. Yeah? And then that's the ending and then she goes to hospital and Reese is dead.

Kyle Reese. Yep. Anyway, the scene is, and I've seen this, I saw this years ago. You may have seen it as well. The factory that Sarah Connor destroys the Terminator in is revealed to be Skynet. Doesn't make any sense. But it does, because they have the arm in Terminator 2, and it's Skynet. Because that's why they have the arm, that's why they get the technology, because they find the arm in the chip. Right, right, right, right, right. I think it adds. But it's so,

it's a, it's a, it's Sk it's Skynet yeah is the not Cyberdyne maybe it was Cyberdyne okay right that makes more sense yeah sorry okay right it doesn't make any sense yeah

alright so it's not I'm an idiot yeah it's not the it's not the Skynet no or the native plant or something like that no

okay sorry I fucked that up you sure did yeah start again stop and start Sarah Connor

yep no sorry I'm ambivalent okay cool I've added yep no sorry I'm ambivalent okay cool I've added a fourth option I'm ambivalent to that

it's fine I'm gonna say it's better I'm not even even better I think it would have added something I think it's one of those things yeah you're right it could have gone in

or not gone in yeah and then that's fine either way it's like some of those in Terminator 2 and we'll probably get to Terminator 2 in a second

there are a lot of the effects are still amazing and they still hold up aren't they but when you watch that director get to Terminator 2 in a second there are a lot of the effects are still amazing and they still hold up aren't they? but when you watch that director's cut they've put in a couple of old effects shots and you really

there was no reason to put those back in no like there's a scene I think where right at the end where the T-1000's pretending to be Sarah Connor yeah

and John Connor looks down to see that her feet are sort of welded into the ground they're all melty but she's clearly just got boots on that have been painted to look like a gantry. Well, the funny thing about that movie is, not funny, because it's not really funny.

It better be funny. You've set the bar now. That Terminator 2 in particular, which we'll talk about just now, a lot of those effects are practical. Yeah. A lot of that stuff with the T-1000 where his head gets split apart, and you know how he gets hit with a crowbar and he splits? Yeah, and his arm gets split.

That's like a suit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, there's a whole lot of stuff like that which is actually practical. I just thought that was incredible. The bit where he's frozen in the liquid nitrogen, and his legs come off. Guy without a leg. Isn't that amazing? That is amazing.

Yeah. And good that a guy without a leg can get some work. That's hard. That's true. Yeah. What was I going to say? Yeah, that's great. You know what?

The part where he walks through the prison bars, actual guy with heaps of holes in his body. You can just walk through prison bars. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good thing he's a good man. It sure is. He could rob some places.

He's the best man. But yeah, I think that's great. I think that's James Cameron at that point. He knew the limitations of CGI and used it sparingly. Yeah. Which is great. And people should still learn from that yeah, I think that's great. I think that's James Cameron at that point. He knew the limitations of CGI and used it sparingly. Yeah. Which is great.

And people should still learn from that today, I think. Yes. That's why that movie looks better than the monkey in Lost in Space.

It looks his face. Exactly, yeah. Yeah. Anyway, there's another ending to Terminator 2, which nullifies Terminator 3 and 4.

Is that? Because I've read the novelisation. Oh, what's the ending of Terminator 2? Oh, the, um, everybody's driving down the highway.

Yeah. Yeah. And she has the monologue about fate is what we make. Yeah. In the book, in the novelization, which I've read, which is probably Alan Dean Foster, who knows, or Craig Shaw Gardner. It's one of those. They've got three names and they just do movie adaptations.

She wakes up in the future. Yeah. And she's all in like white robes and such. And she's all, oh, I'm just living out in the future, the future's great, and she's got grandkids and stuff. Okay, well that's actually similar to this. So the ending is, and I remember I stayed up late on TV because they were like, we're going to show you the Terminator 2 ending that never was, and then they showed a Terminator skull, and I'm like, this is going to blow everyone's mind, and this is what it is.

Yeah, right. And it's incredibly disappointing. Oh. Okay. Following the fight at the Terminator, no, that's a different one. I'm reading from Terminator 4, so we'll get to that. Yep. Skipping right over Terminator 3.

Not an alternate ending worthy of our examination. Interesting. It flashed forwards to August 29th, 2029. Sarah Connor is a grandmother and John Connor is a senator and as Sarah sits in a playground filled with children, her voiceover reveals that they successfully prevented the Skynet revolution.

Hooray! That's kind of what I was... Yeah. I don't... I don't know. I'm torn. I kind of... I mean, it would have capped off the movies. Yeah. I kind of like a happy ending sometimes. Sure. But...

I think I'm just bitter because I stayed up late to watch that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did that actually... Is that actually... That's film. You can find that. Never seen it? Okay.

I should check that out. Yeah. A lot of these are films. I do like the happy ending, but I do kind of like the ambivalence of the ending of the original Terminator 2 where, well, maybe it's going to happen again. We don't know. Yeah, we don't know.

Well, I love that. They're like, and at the end of Terminator 2, they're like, fate is what you make of it. You make your own fate. And then at 3, in Terminator 3, they're like, nah. Nah. Inevitable. How do you like that, idiot?

I feel that that was kind of a, I think what they were going for, maybe, at least in the script for Terminator 3, was that it's not that the evolution of Skynet is inevitable and it cannot be stopped in any way, but more that it's now an ongoing time war. And it keeps going and going and going. And Skynet and the Resistance keep sending people back in time. Yeah. Now that this time travel technology has been developed, it's going to keep happening in different ways. Yeah. And so in Terminator 3, it just happened to be

that they go back and attempt to kill all these lieutenants and then it winds up they're trapped in a bunker and then it goes to Terminator Salvation or whatever. I like that. But they could go back in time and do it again and it would end up in a different way. Different future. But I think what has happened,

in order to streamline it or whatever, they've just said, hey, Skynet's back and you can't stop it. We're going to keep doing this. Yeah. Let's see, people would have been confused by alternative realities and multiple futures and whatever, whatever. I am going to skip over Terminator 3.

You're right. Terminator 2 is such a good movie. It really holds up. Okay, Terminator Salvation. Do you remember the ending of the abysmal Terminator 2 is such a good movie. Yeah. It really holds up. Okay, Terminator Salvation. Do you remember the ending of the abysmal Terminator Salvation? Boy, do I. Okay, so what happens is

at the end of Terminator Salvation it turns out that Skynet's entire plan from the start was to lure John Connor into that factory so they could kill him. But when he get that,

when he gets in there, they're pretty much, Skynet's pretty much unprepared for that. Like what, in an ideal universe, if they had a proper plan, there would have been like, they would have tricked John Connor.

John Connor would have been like, the secret's in this factory. And he would have gone into the factory and it was just filled with dynamite, like floor to ceiling dynamite. And they, and they just fill it with poison gas and then like pile on all the terminators on him just so he can't escape and then they blow up the factory yeah but they didn't they sent one terminator one terminator because apparently skynet despite being a emotionless artificial intelligence is like an idiot an idiot and like weirdly like it's in the poetic justice

of some sort yeah like well send Arnold Schwarzenegger yeah no just the one there's so many dumb moments in that movie yeah

and I was excited for that movie because I was trying where he jumps out of a plane yes and he hits the water and then all of a sudden he's in a submarine and it's a storm

yeah like the ocean is rolling like that movie where the boat goes really high and then flips yeah boat flip boat flip yeah and then flips. Yeah. Boat flip? Boat flip.

Yeah. Yeah. And then he's just in the submarine. They're like, you're a reckless loser, John Connor. Yeah. And you know, the whole movie as well, people are like, John Connor's the one who's prophesied to lead the resistance. Nobody knows that except John Connor.

Right. So the only reason that that would be a rumor is because he started it. He started that rumor. What an asshole. I've got another thing to say. Yes. Anton Yelchin, who's a great actor. Yelchin. He's that rumor. What an asshole. I've got another thing to say. Yes. Anton Yelchin, who's a great actor. Yelchin.

Yelchon. He's in Fright Night, that Fright Night remake, which is actually pretty good. I actually think it's better than the original Fright Night. Y'all fucking say it. Wow. The original Fright Night is not good. Okay. He's Kyle Reese.

And there's a point where the Terminator, like a Terminator drone sees him and recognizes him and goes, this is Kyle Reese. Right. And then they go up and they're like... The father of John Connor. The father of John Connor. And so, like, why does the Terminator know that? Yeah.

But also, if they do know that, why wouldn't they just kill him? Why wouldn't they just kill him? Yeah. Exactly. It's nonsense. God, I hate that movie. Anyway, the ending. Yep.

But I do love the Christian Bale flip out. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Every time I listen to that, I haven't listened to it a lot recently, but any time I do, I develop a new favourite part of that. I like the scuffling bit, where he's clearly trying to scuffle to get this guy. Initially, my favourite part was where he was like, McGee! Like, because he was clearly trying to get the director involved. McGee nearly did part was where he was like McGee like because he was clearly trying to get

the director like involved McGee nearly did Superman as well so I go on McGee right but so that was my favourite part but then later on

later period me listening to this my favourite part has become the bit where he's like right because you can't it's audio only but

you can see him sort of flouncing about like waving his arm side to side as he prances about i think you said this to me as well do you think he made the conscious decision to get really angry in his american accent yes just to see how he could do it yeah because he's british yeah welsh well i'll show you right yeah well welsh is part of britain isn't it yeah exactly the country's called welsh isn't it? Uh-huh, yeah. I knew it. Okay, so the original ending, or one of the endings was, sorry, was the script called for John Connor to die from his wounds.

Uh-huh. Because remember he gets stabbed through the heart? Yes. Everybody gets hit in the heart in that movie as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a bit where the Terminator sees, um, the, is fighting the human Terminator guy. What's his name? Marcus something.

Played by Sam Worthington. Sam Worthington. And it zooms in on him and it goes and it goes and it detects his heart and you see it's heart his heart

and it goes oh weakness detected right right and then it punches him in the heart and stops his heart but anyway at the end John Connor gets

a heart transplant from Sam Worthington from Sam Worthington who's been punched in the heart so it's just a jelly heart yeah and apparently you can just do a heart punched in the heart. Who's been punched in the heart. So just a jelly heart. Yeah.

And apparently you can just do a heart surgery to fix that. What they probably just did. On a battlefield. What they probably just did is they cut Sam Worthington open and they just stuck a tube in there and the liquid remnants of his heart, they just poured into Christian Bale's chest. And on the subject of Fright Night, because you mentioned Fright Night, Anton Yelchin in Fright Night. Yeah.

Here's my favourite Fright Night fact. Go. So Fright Night was the remake of the one from the 80s. Yeah. And I watched that in preparation for watching it. We watched it together. Yeah, in preparation for watching the new one. Yeah.

And I'm like, oh, there's a character in it, and his name's Evil Eddie, and he's like the annoying sidekick of the main character. And I'm like, that's fascinating. There's always, in the 80s, movies in the 80s, there's always, like, an annoying side character. I wonder what kind of career, like, an annoying side character has. Like, does he become the annoying side character in, like, a series of movies? Does he grow up and become a serious actor? Like, he's been in stuff we know.

So, anyway, I am DB'd him, and I've got it here. I just looked it up. So, after Fright Night, like, he's done a couple more horror films. Good. So after Fright Night, he's done a couple more horror films. Good. And then in 95, he did Mechanics by Day, Lube Job by Night. Wait a minute.

Then he did Virtual Stud. He did Just 18 and Gay, Latin Crotch Rockets, Punk Hotel, Leather After Midnight, Transsexual Prostitutes, Motel Sex, Cockpit, Manhunt, Transsexual Prostitutes Motel Sex Cockpit Man Hunt Transsexual Prostitutes 2 So that first one was quite Warranted a sequel Yeah Buff and Gay Black Men White Men Bus Blazer

Uncut Glory Leather Buddies Which sounds quite nice They're really creative these days I remember that Leather Virgin Private Temptations Halfway House Hunks, Gay Men in Uniform, Guys Who Crave Big Cocks, which is, that's a bit, it's a bit much, quite frankly.

In 2002. It's a little tasteless. Yeah, in 2002, Semen Training Day. What's that? And then he's back in regular movies. I don't know how he did that. But that's amazing, right? That is amazing.

Oh my God. That's a lot of gay porn. That sure is. But good on him. Good on him. Good for finding his niche. Exactly, yeah. If that's what you want to do, good on him, man.

Good on him. He's annoying in that movie, though. Yeah. I wonder how much gay porn Anthony Elchin's going to do. He's pretty. He's so pretty. Have you seen the movie where it's about how he has the long-distance relation with a girl? Is it Butt Blazer?

It's Butt Blazer, yeah. I don't know what it's called. Oh, it's great, though. It's really good. It's really moving. I'll say it. Charlie Bartlett is good in that, too. I haven't seen it.

Robert Downey Jr. is in it. And Kat Dennings. You love Kat Dennings. I do, yeah. Okay. So the ending was going to be that Marcus takes the place of John Connor as the resistance leader and just says, I'm John Connor because nobody knows what John Connor looks like. So there you go. Great.

Was that worth all that talk? Salvation? Yeah. I think worse. Yeah. It doesn't really matter it doesn't matter exactly

you know what though at least it's creative future John Connor it's irrelevant because he never goes back in time so it doesn't no he should though

what a prick yeah sending everybody else sends his dad I guess he had to yeah yeah so that's that done

great okay wait what yeah there we go I'm gonna say Ambivalent

because you're rated I should have said Ambivalent but it's too late now I got another we go, yeah. I'm going to say Ambivalent. Okay. Because you're right. I should have said Ambivalent, but it's too late now. I've got another X-Men film here. I'm ready. X-Men The Last Stand. Yeah. This is boring, but I feel like I had to include it because it's a comic book movie.

Right. Okay. Do you remember the original ending of X-Men The Last Stand? Oh, they move the bridge? Yep. There's a fight? Yep. Someone yells, Jin!

Oh, yeah. That's right. Yeah. That's always good That's pretty great And then Magneto gets Demutantised Yes

And then And so does Rogue Oh yeah And then Wolverine Chops up Jean Grey Jean He sure does

Yeah You remember that Pretty much spot on And then there's also a scene where you see Magneto starting to get his powers back he gets his powers back

yeah which apparently he does because well because it does in future past so this ending had a new year starting at the

X-Men school with Beast in charge so because you know Professor X was obliterated yeah he exploded Professor X I think the term

is you used was Professor X yeah he called Professor. Yeah, he exploded. Professor X, I think the term is you used, was Professor X. Yeah, you've got Professor X. Like you wouldn't believe. Where he gets removed from every movie. Yeah. Yeah. Where was I?

Rogue returns back to campus with full powers and Logan Wolverine, slash Wolverine, returns to Canada and then he's having a beer in the original film's bar. Remember the original movie? Oh, vaguely. And then the guys come at him and they're like, we know you're a guy that's different.

We don't care for that. Where we are from in this vague area, we won't actually say what state it is. Because that would be derogatory towards that state. So, yeah. Better, worse, ambivalent. What is it? That would be better.

I think it's worse because I like the fact that they kind of left it open to does the powers come back? Right, yeah, yeah. And then they're just like

no, they do. Okay, yeah, that's a good point actually. Yeah, alright. Worse, you're right. I am right. Next one, I Am Legend.

Again, not a comic book movie but it's based on a book and book and comic book they're similar aren't they they are similar words certainly one has one less word in it yeah that's book yeah and as as we've taught previously books are for nerds so but this is a novella which is not quite a book no but you can knock it off in an afternoon and you're not a nerd that's a great book book, actually. It is. I read that in preparation for I Am Legend. They're very, very different. Yeah. And the book is infinite. That annoys me.

Because I Am Legend has been filmed before this. Has it? Like, it was filmed as The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price. You're right. And it was The Omega Man with Charlton Heston. Yeah. But in both cases, they changed it a lot. But they also changed the name.

And in this one, old mate Will Smith decided that this was going to be the definitive version, so why change the name? Yeah. But changed everything else. Yeah. Which is incredibly annoying. Yeah. And it was terrible.

And it was... You know, I didn't think it was that bad. Actually, the guy who made that did Hunger Games. New Hunger Games. Well, he's improved a lot then, hasn't he? Sure, he certainly has. Because Iron Legend was terrible. You know, there's a few things that let down that movie. Namely, the CGI vampires.

And they are vampires as well. That's one thing they never specify. They're vampires. In the book, they are. In the book, they're vampires, yeah. They're very definitively vampires. And they retain their intelligence. They retain their old memories.

Some do. Some do. Yeah. Great book. If you haven't read it, absolutely read it. Let's not spoil that. No, let's not. Go and read Iron Legend. No, we haven't spoiled it because we know the vampire's going. Okay, great. Yeah, Yeah. Great book. If you haven't read it, absolutely read it. Yeah. And also, the reason I... Let's not spoil that. No, let's not. Go and read Iron Legend.

No, we haven't spoiled it, because we know the vampire's going in. Okay, great. Yeah, we know the vampire's going in. But, um, what was I going to say? Oh, I'm assuming there's some kind of terrible prequel comic. I would hope, yeah, definitely. Oh, I bet there is. Yeah.

Anyway. Now, in the original ending, do you remember what happens? In the original... Oh, and also, that annoys me. Because, without spoiling anything in the book, the reason it's called I Am Legend

is there's a line in the dialogue where somebody says the words, I am legend. Yeah. Which never happens in the movie.

No. Somebody says, he was a legend. Yeah. Right? So that movie should have been called He's a Bit of a Bloody Legend,

isn't he? That's what they should have called it. That would have been... I probably would have watched that. Had they... Just change the name

a little bit and it makes so much sense when it says Iron Legend you go oh that makes total sense yeah yeah it ties everything up

that was great what a great book okay so and it's from like the 50s yeah and nothing good happened in the 50s

I know right there's just that thing yeah sorry go on the Red Menace and that book both great things so in Iron Legend

they're trapped in a lab of some sort yep and then the love interest escapes yep

with a there's a little girl maybe what happens to Will Smith he blows himself up he explodes yeah he just explodes

with fame fame and self importance he explodes into a blood tornado oh yeah that's right with Stephen Dorff's face oh boy wonderful explodes with fame. Fame itself and porn He explodes into a blood tornado. Oh yeah, that's right. With Stephen Dorff's face. Oh boy.

Wonderful. So he explodes and with all the vampire creatures, what are they called? Dark Seekers.

They're called Dark Seekers or something. Sure, why not? And he blows them up. Yep.

And then the He's got the cure. She gets the cure. The cure and she goes to the

secret place. And she goes to the secret place. And she goes, he's a bit of a bloody legend. He's a bit of a bloody legend that guy.

And then he saves the universe. Okay, this ending is better. And I'll tell you what the ending is and I'm going to explain why.

Okay. The alpha male, you know the alpha male that's after him. Yep. The CGI looking alpha male. Him and Neville

share the realisation. Neville. That's his name. Yeah. What's up with 1950s and 40s? Yeah. They kept that. Yeah. Should have changed the name. Well, Smith does not look like a Neville. the realisation. Neville. That's his name. What's up with 1950s and 40s? Yeah, I know. They kept that.

Yeah. Should have changed the name. They said he'd call him like... Will Smith does not look like a Neville. No, he doesn't. He looks like a Nev. No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't.

He looks like a Nev Campbell. Or is it Nev Campbell? It's Nev now. Cool. So, in the original ending, which is filmed as well, I've seen this, the alpha male, the head of the vampire dark men, and Neville share the realisation... Neville. The alpha male, the head of the vampire dark men, and Neville share the realisation that the woman vampire that he kidnapped, that he was testing on, is that head vampire's

kind of girlfriend. And that's why he's coming after Neville. I don't want to say that exact word, girlfriend. We're hanging out, we're spending some time together, know I don't want to put labels on things you know we're just taking it one day at a time and just seeing where it goes yeah

I don't I'm going to be busy for the next couple I've got work and stuff I'm pretty I mean if I don't answer my phone it's because I'm at work

but I'll call you I'll call you very soon definitely anyway I'm sorry it's about that you nailed that voice as well it's good but it just sounds um yeah so they share the realization that net that and neville gives him back he goes oh this is your girlfriend right and he gives him back and they leave so it's not an explosive

finale will smith lives and then they go off together with the cure right so and that's the reason why that vampire is targeting him specifically. Because there's a bit where it sets a trap for him. Yep. Twice. The noose where he gets hung upside down. There's the bit where they ambush him at the dock. Yep. And there's the bit where when he first captures that vampette.

Yes. Your word. The vampire steps into the sun. Yep. And he goes, I've never seen that happen before. Right, right, right. They must be getting stupider. Yeah. But the reason it steps into the sun is because he goes yeah and he goes I've never seen that happen before right right right they must be getting stupider

yeah but the reason it steps into the sun because it takes his girlfriend so all those things happen yep

and then he runs at them with a grenade which makes no sense yeah it makes no sense and it's a bit mean yeah when you think about it

so I think that makes that movie infinitely better but still not very good okay I'll be like better but not very good fair point yeah

it's better but I don't care. Also, it turns out that he is legend. He is a real bloody legend, you know? This one... What a champ. What a champ. He should have been called he was a bloody legend, colon, what a champ. This one, this is probably one of my favourite ones.

Yep. It's from Batman 1989. Okay. I'm familiar with Batman 1989. I know you are. Did you see's from Batman 1989. Okay. I'm familiar with Batman 1989. I know you are. Did you see that in the cinema?

Yes. I didn't. Again, too dark. I was too young. I remember seeing that because I would always watch the 1960s Batman TV show

and it was fun but I'm always like, everybody's having fun on this show. And then I saw the trailer and I'm like from the 1989 Batman movie and

I'm like, oh my God, Batman's real. He's a real... Because he had the black costume and he had the car and I'm like, for the 1989 Batman movie, and I'm like, oh my God, Batman's real. He's a real... Because he had the black costume and he had the car and the Joker was this horrible monster with a frozen grin. But having... And the other day, I'm like, you know what, I'm going to revisit that magic. I'm going to watch that trailer again.

Yeah. Awful. Yeah, it is. It's so poorly paced. No, the movie's still great. I would disagree. But the trailer is so... It's like

it's one of those trailers from the 80s which is a sort of random scene so it's shoehorned together and there's no yeah

makes no sense weird audio weird music cues anyway yeah what were we talking about oh yeah Batman No No No No what's the ending

do you remember yeah he murders the Joker remember that it was good wasn't it he grappling hooks into a gargoyle. Yeah, and then it weighs him down. And then his options are have his leg torn off.

Yeah. Or fall to his death. And he falls to his death. When I was a kid, a very young man, I remember I went to one of my parents' friend's house. Yep. And you know when you're a kid, I don't know about you, but I hated all of my parents' friends' kids. Most of them.

Because I'm like, why are you forcing me to hang out with this guy like we have nothing in common and when you leave the room he punches me because he's like three feet taller than me right okay and he's older

anyway I went to this guy's house and he's like what movie do you want to watch and I'm like I want to watch Batman you've got Batman you're one of those kids with a TV in your room

and a VHS player because you're one of those prick kids from the 90s he was like a villain from the 90s he wore a little ascot and a blazer that's it and he was older he was much older than me kids from the 90s. He was like a villain from the 90s. He wore a little ascot and a blazer. That's it.

He was much older than me and clearly smarter. He kind of looked like Buzz from Home Alone. You know, Macaulay Culkin's older brother with the pig face. So he drew out the whole process of, okay, we could do it, but we hold a raffle. And he cut up all these little tickets so he could do a raffle and he could

draw which one it was. And by the time that he managed to do this my parents came in and like we're gonna go So I missed it and if I ever see that guy again, I'm gonna knock all these fucking teeth out. I feel like legitimately Wow Wow, this is your own. You're gonna tie that guy to a gargoyle push him out of a helicopter What a prick it was also one of those guys who played the Nintendo. I see why you created this podcast. It's to do about nine episodes to cover up

what this is and then you're just going to let loose on all your childhood bullies. I get it. I get it. I don't approve but do your thing. Anyway, sorry. He also had a Nintendo and he'd just play it in front of me for hours

just be like no you can't play wow what a jerk yeah man I hate that guy does that have anything to do with the ending

of Batman no okay so nobody told Tim Burton the Joker that Batman doesn't just kill all his opponents well apparently

like he said about he said I'd certainly never read a comic book instead of this very famous quote, especially something like Kevin Smith, when he was attacking Kevin Smith. And Kevin Smith said,

well, that clearly explains the first Batman movie. Which is true, because the Batman movie has so little to do with Batman, despite having Batman in it. Anyway, an unofficial version of the film has aired on Latin TV. It did air on Latin TV. At least once.

Televisionales Latinos. That's the one. Yes. Besides being dubbed into Spanish, the film's ending is heavily edited. And it's as follows. Okay. So when the Joker puts on the glasses and says, You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses on, would you?

Batman punches him, knocks him over the edge, and he dies. He just plumps through his death and dies. Wow. So it's just, he gets punched, and then it cuts to the Joker falling, and then he's dead. That sounds like some sort of... Like, they're just... For whatever reason, they only have, like, 87 minutes to put the movie on, but it goes for, like, 95 or whatever,

and they're like, we'll just cut out the last five minutes. The climatic battle. Cut out the bit with the art. Yeah. Come on. Yeah. Cut out all the Prince songs. Yeah.

Isn't that amazing? Isn't that amazing? That's pretty great. So clearly they've done a punch They've edited out everything The helicopter And the getting to the roof And blah de blah

And they've just Put in that last bit Where he Animated Joker Falls to his death Yeah That's great That's pretty much it

Yeah It's kind of funnier I definitely want to say that And it sounds like an accident Unless it wasn like an accident. Unless it wasn't an accident. Right. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like he knocked him off the edge on purpose. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow, pretty amazing. There's just an outtake of Michael Keaton. Like, ooh. Oh, boy. Great movie. Not really.

Anyway, next one. Another Star Wars movie. Return of the Jedi from 1983. Ewoks. I don't really remember how it ends. Han Solo and the Ewoks. Does everybody get a medal at the end? No, that's fine. Oh, I can't remember how it ends now.

I can't remember now. Okay, so... They're in the... Are they in the second death? Are they in the Death Star? They're in the second Death Star, yeah. Okay, they're in the second Death Star. And Darth Vader's going to kill Luke.

Yep. And then... Emperor's going to kill Luke. Emperor's going to kill Luke. And then Darth's going to kill Luke Emperor's going to kill Luke And then Darth Vader's like And he grabs That's what they added in They added the no recently

There was never a no And George Lucas recently went back And he goes no And he picks up the Emperor Right It's implied that he doesn't want him to do that You don't need him to say no Yeah

You know It doesn't look like an accident Yeah that's true Not a Batman-esque accident And then he falls down the drive shaft or whatever it is and they die. Yeah.

I would have loved to have seen a bit. And then they did this on Robot Chicken. And then at the end, no, go ahead. No, I was going to say, they did this on Robot Chicken

where the Emperor falls through and he just falls past the Millennium Falcon as it's flying into the centre of the Death Star. I think Robot Chicken or maybe Family Guy did that. Anyway, so go on.

So, and at the end, Darth Vader's then allowed to appear in the... Go to heaven. Go to heaven. Which as a child I did not buy. Yeah. This is the first, I think this is the first instance of that where I'm like, yeah, you saved your child.

Yeah. But you also blew up that planet with millions of, billions of people on it. Well, Grand Moff Tarkin did that. He could have stopped it. I think you said this to me once. You said it would be like... I'll tell you what it would be like. Okay, go.

It would be like if it's the end of World War II and Hitler and Stalin teamed up to fight, to destroy the Allies, right? And they're in Stalin's palace, because I assume he has a palace. Sure. And Stalin's like, because I assume he has a palace. Sure. Right. And Stalin's like, look what I've found, Hitler.

It's your son, and he's in the resistance. And Hitler's like, no! He grabs Stalin, and he throws him down the driveshaft of the palace. He's still Hitler. He's still Hitler, exactly, yeah. Yeah, space Hitler. He wouldn't get to show up in heaven. No. That's really unfair. Yeah, it's basically. He wouldn't get to show up in heaven. No.

In the light heaven. That's really unfair. Yeah. Super unfair. Yeah. Because it's his son. It's ridiculous. Of course he's got to save his own son.

Yeah. He could still be a bad person. Exactly. He is a bad person. Yeah. He's the worst person. Yeah. He chopped up all those kids, remember?

For no reason. Yeah. God. He probably cheated in that pod race. Did he? I don't know. It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

Or does it? What a terrible story arc that guy had. I know. It was. And they made it bad. It wasn't bad. And then they made it bad by over-explaining it. And just, oh my God.

You know what? I'm not even going to get into it. Let's not get into it. Let's save it for another podcast. Anyway. We'll save it for just, we'll just go to a high mountaintop and just scream for a couple of hours. That's right

Now the original ending Or one of the considered endings And Harrison Ford Very much wanted to do this Was that Han Solo Dies In the raid On the Imperial base

Yep And Wouldn't that I thought that would have been Do you think He wanted Han Solo to die Or do you think They were just

Filming one day And the director was like Hey Harrison how do you feel And he's like one day and the director was like hey Harrison how do you feel and he's like I want to die he's got his head

in his hands he's like I want to die and they're like oh we'll write that in we'll see how that tests we'll write we'll put that in

he's like you don't get it well famously what is it he said in an interview it's coming off famously that he goes Harrison Point goes

George Lucas thought there were no money in dead hand solo toys right which is true I guess I don't know but I think and I said this in my making Star Wars That he goes, Harrison Ford goes, George Lucas thought there were no money in dead Han Solo toys. Right. Which is true, I guess. I don't know. But I think, and I said this in my Making Star Wars Not Terrible video.

No, you and your videos. God. That they should kill Han Solo in the first Star Wars, in the new one. In the first ten minutes. The first ten minutes, that would be amazing. And he shows up, and then they introduce the villain. A villain that they keep through the trilogy by the way. Yeah. Unlike the prequels

where they're like here's Darth Maul dead. Here's Dooku dead. He's Grievous. He's in it for ten minutes.

Dead. Yeah. Like it's terrible. Yeah. Darth Maul should have ran through that whole movie. Yeah.

Those whole series. Anyway. And you get the villain to kill Han Solo. And how like war champion man of the people

Han Solo gets shot in the face on television. Yeah, exactly. And imagine how much everybody would hate that villain. You know what would be amazing? All the fans would hate the villain and they'd want to just keep watching to see him get his. Harrison Ford would get to die, which is his fondest wish. And that whole, like, both in real life and in the movie franchise, everybody wins. Yeah.

Yeah, that'd be great. You pull that? Yes. Yeah, that'd be great. You pull that? Yes. Yeah, cool. All right, so that obviously will not happen. They had it. What Harrison Ford also said, they ended up having a teddy bear picnic at the end. Yeah, that's very true.

Return of the Jedi sags in the middle in a big way. The start is amazing in the Jabba's Palace. The end confrontation with Luke and Vader is amazing. All that stuff in the middle is. Remember when they said, they were like, oh, we found this footage from the start of Return of the Jedi, and it's Luke building, like a guy in a hood,

and he's building the lightsaber, and he lights it up. And it's like, whoa. Yeah. You didn't find that. They didn't find that. You made that. And also, that would rob the...

That robs Return of the Jedi, that entire bit at the start, where you think he's unarmed, you think he's done for, and then bang, green lightsaber. Yeah, and because nobody had seen a green lightsaber at that point. It had been blue and red.

And then they just do purple now or whatever. And that purple lightsaber, Sam Jackson just said, I want a purple lightsaber. And George Lucas was like, well, they're only really blue and red and whatever. And he's like, no. Great. Purple. Yeah, that whole reveal would have been completely spoiled.

What a dumb scene. Yeah. Nah, that scene, they filmed that. What a pack of jerks. I know, right? Yeah. Anyway, next one. Not a comic book. Yeah. Nah, that scene. They filmed that. What a pack of jerks. I know, right? Yeah. Anyway. Next one.

Not a comic book movie in any way, but I want to talk about it. Alright, here we go. I'm sure there's a... I've never seen this, but I know you've seen it. Highlander 2, The Quickening. Bleh. One of the worst sequels of all time. One of the worst films of all time.

Go. What happens in the end? Okay, so... I have no idea. Do you know anything about the Highlander films? Break it down for me. I've seen the first one. I've seen the third one. Okay, so the first one. The first one, it's sort of

this... It's going to sound ridiculous when you break it down, but I think it's a really good film. Yeah, I agree. Where it's sort of this unexplained magic of Earth, or of the universe, grants certain people randomly throughout the world the ability. They're immortal.

That's their power. And for whatever reason, they all have come to believe that there is a prize for the last one alive. Yeah. And so that's why they wander around the Earth throughout the years killing each other. And at the end of... And then at some point, there becomes this gathering where the last remaining immortals all are drawn to this one place they fight to the death there's one left and he gets this prize and the prize is well it's it's a bit vague jenga yeah it's jenga the prize is yeah it's a box of jenga and he's no good at jenga it's unfortunate but the first one is great

because it's got this huge scope of all this, you know, all this... We see these characters move throughout history. Oh, it's incredible, yeah. But at the same time... A lot of it's told in flashback. Yeah, and it also has a very... Good characters with a lot of depth and it has a very well-defined beginning, middle and end. Very specifically, it's got an end.

And, you know, we can spoil it as fine because it's a million years old at this point, but Connor McCloud, the hero of the film, he wins the prize. gains a sort of an understanding of all the world and the thoughts of all men and he

sort of, he can grow old again and have kids and that's the end of it. And it didn't do well at the box office, but for whatever reason they decided that they would do a sequel. Did that not do well? I don't think so. It's better than Hey Man. Sorry.

And again, for whatever reason, instead of maybe setting it, you know, maybe just the Adventures of Highlander back in the day or whatever. That would have been cool. Yeah, they instead, maybe just the Adventures of Highlander back in the day or whatever. That would have been cool. Yeah, they instead, they,

which is kind of the Highlander TV series, what they did is they decided to change it from this fantasy universe to this weird sci-fi universe where... The future.

Yeah, it was Virtues of the Future is like 2020 something. And he's old initially. He's old because he's lost his immortality and he's just growing old as a normal man. And it was environmental issues.

The ozone layer had been depleted. Early 90s. So they'd built this electromagnetic shield around the world for ozone protection. But it turns out, we realise that the immortals aren't from this unexplained magical universe. They're from another planet.

Yeah. And they were rebels fighting against General Katana, who's an alien. And they captured Connor McLeod and Romero's playbosh on Connery who were planning this rebellion.

Who's dead at this point, by the way. Yeah, who's dead at this point. And so what they did as punishment, they sent them through time and space to the past where they became immortals in the setting of the first film yeah and so at this point they've decided

that they decide that oh this is so confusing but the thing about highlander apologists on the internet the only way any of the movies make sense is if you if you assume they all take place in separate universes because none of the continuity make sense is if you assume they all take place in separate universes. Because none of the continuity makes any sense. They all contradict one another. And they're all awful. So anyway, this ruler guy decides that what he's going to do is he doesn't want Connor McCloud to cause any more trouble. So he sends two of his henchmen through space to Earth.

Even though he's a dying old man. Even though he's a dying old man. How come he doesn't remember? I don't know. I don't think... Maybe it's explained that... Why don't I remember? That's a blocking out.

That's the real question. Maybe he's blocking it out. But anyway, so he kills these guys and he gets his immortality back. And that also brings Ramirez back from the dead. Yep. With magic. Or is it science?

Who's to know? Anyway, it's awful. And anyway, the point is that they both everybody teams up and has weird alliances and rivalries and then Connor McCloud kills Michael Ironside and... In real life. Yeah, in real life.

And the quickening destroys the shield and then it turns out Earth was fine anyway. And then I think, because he's killed all the immortals again, he gets the prize again. But this time the prize is to go... Hungry Huggy Hippos.

Yeah, this is Hungry Huggy Hippos, but also he gets to go back to his home planet, Poochie style. So him and the new girlfriend that he picks up in Highlander 2, they sort of turn into light and they disappear into space because they're going back to their home planet. I think you've actually seen the alternative ending. I might have seen that.

They're all sort of samey-ish, I think. Because in this ending, it says shown in some European countries only. And probably Australia. Or a European country. Or Europe-ish. Yeah. No way. Well, we're founded by Europe, aren't we?

Yeah. Sure. A bit of history there for everybody. So good. But yeah, what is it? That Connor floats up into the sky, asks Louise to go with him, I presume that's his new girlfriend,

and they fly off and return to his home planet. So you saw that ending. I think so, but I think there's another... I remember reading about this, and I think there's an alternate ending where you actually see the planet. Like, they actually go, they appear on that planet. So...

There you go. Yeah, anyway, great. It's a real winner. It sure is. Worst, better, irrelevant. Irrelevant. Who cares? Don't say it.

I want to watch it one day. See Highlander 1. That's good. Yep. See Highlander 4, Endgame, which is pretty good. Oh, okay. That's like the late 90s one, yeah. Oh, early 2000s.

Okay. Span off into the TV series. No, the TV series spanned off into that oh okay yeah cool alternate universes though goodness gracious

don't see don't see 2, 3 or 5 5's not good done yep okay there we go next one not a comic book movie

but it's very comic book based here we go in a way Clerks from 1994 yep the original ending do you remember ah it's just

it just just ends it just sort of ends he throws him the sign or whatever the open sign yeah your face is closed

or whatever and then he leaves one of them leaves yep Dante or Randall which one it doesn't matter doesn't matter

yeah so in the original ending and this was filmed apparently because Kevin Smith didn't know how to end it yep his first film or whatever

what an effort to put that film together as well yeah yeah but just as Dante closes the store a guy comes in and shoots him dead Apparently because Kevin Smith didn't know how to end it. Yep. His first film or whatever. What an effort to put that film together as well. Yeah, yeah. But just as Dante closes the store, a guy comes in and shoots him dead. Then he takes some cigarettes. Great. And that's the ending.

Fantastic. Yeah. I like Clerks too. A lot. I think we saw that together. Yeah, yeah. I believe. Yeah.

A lot of people don't like Clerks, so I like it quite a bit. I think it's fine. Yeah, but I'm glad they didn't go with that ending. But that also ties into the whole movie. He always says, I wasn't even supposed to be here today. Right. And then he gets shot. Yeah.

So, you know. Great happy ending. I love it. Yeah. Great happy ending. Worse. Worse. I agree.

Yeah. Iron Man 2. Buh. Do you remember the ending? Yeah, robots. Yeah. They don't kill Mickey Rourke, even though his head's uncovered for most of the film. Don't they kill him in the original ending?

No, they do, but they kill him right at the end. They could have killed him like 15 minutes earlier. On the racetrack. Again, a real opportunity for them to launch a missile. He just flies around, just hangs out for a bit, gets a cup of coffee or whatever. And then when Mickey Rourke shows up, not wearing a helmet, smacks him in the back of the head. Just bursts that thing like an element. I think he does show up with the helmet, then he takes the helmet off.

And he's like, it's me, Mickey Rourke. Oh, okay. And they're like, oh, okay. That's Mickey Rourke, guys. Hey, guys, it's Mickey Rourke. Laser whips. Yep. So the original ending was...

This one. It's another one that shouldn't even be on here because it's so uninteresting. Yeah. Mickey Rourke's whiplash holds Pepper Potts hostage with his mini whips. With his what? His mini whips? Yeah, mini whips. Are they like mini wheats?

Yep. Propting Stark to come and rescue her. Some nifty teamwork between him and Potts allow them both to escape. And then Rhodey blows him up. Great. You know, if you said to me that was the actual ending, I would have gone, okay. Yeah, it seems... because I don't remember it seems

yeah that makes sort of sense yeah but if you recall in the original ending they team up yeah repulsa style they do

and then oh then he self-destructs himself yeah he does yeah yeah yeah he predators it yeah he did tell his predators he just bitches out yeah

what a nitty-bitty okay Iron Man 3 we've talked aboutitty. Okay. Iron Man 3. We've talked about this before. Ending of Iron Man 3, he blows up his

suits. We said that in this one. Exactly. Anything you want to add? Well, it's just really

symbolic, you know, the love. Because he's a billionaire and he can build one of those suits in like five hours. Yeah.

If I burnt down the place where I live, I would be in some serious shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah. So, yeah, you're right. It is symbolic.

Yeah. And it's Christmas also. Oh, yeah. The original ending we've talked about this before Trevor Slattery uses extremists and then he explodes.

Pretty great. You reckon add it in? Yeah. Okay, cool. I'm going to say worse because it makes zero sense. Okay, cool. Not that it makes zero sense

it makes perfect sense but it adds another thing none of the rest of the movie made any sense so it doesn't matter this one I think is my favourite okay I'm ready

it's for Scott Pilgrim versus the world okay what happens at the end like at the end he just Ramona and Scott Pilgrim decide to give their love

another chance kind of thing they just okay let's hang out some more and see what happens. Yep. As this movie was filming, the comic was apparently still going. So Edgar Wright didn't know. Yeah, Volume 6 hadn't come out.

Yeah. Volume 6 and the 6th one hadn't come out yet. Are they different? I've never read it. Well, one's a comic, so they're different in that way. Yes. In terms of mediums, sure. They're different, but they're not markedly different.

Like nobody... My feeling, when the movie came out, my assumption was going to... But my assumption was... Yeah. My assumption of how the movie was going to end as I was watching it, and my assumption of how the final volume was going to end when it came out, was that Scott was going to end up with Knives, the nice chowder Korean girl.

Yep, yep. Because they clearly had the best connection. Yeah. And Ramona was just sort of tolerating Scott Pilgrim. Yeah. He's just like, oh, yeah, I guess. You're all right, but I'm just going to leave, so why, uh... But at the end, Knives is like, oh, I'm too cool for you.

I'll just, you know, but... Yeah. Well, it's funny you say that. That was actually... There was two endings, at least. Okay. One of them was he decides to go with Knives' like I'm too cool for you I'll just you know but yeah it's funny you say that that was actually there was two endings at least one of them was he decides to go with

Knives Chow because they had more in common made a lot more would have made a lot more sense however there's another alternative ending another ending which is my favourite

I think that Edgar Wright didn't have time to film a news report covering is seen covering the story of a serial killer

who's murdered seven people and then claimed he was in a video game. That's good. How good is that? That would be pretty good, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would explain all the wackiness in that movie. Yeah.

That's one of those movies I saw all the time and I'm like, yeah, it was alright. Didn't love it. And then seeing it again in hindsight, I really liked that movie. Like Moulin Rouge. Yeah. Yeah, I like Moulin Rouge. What do you think of that? I don't know who you are anymore.

That's so weird. Is that why you're always like, It's a can, can, can! Like at the supermarket and stuff. That's exactly why. Yeah, yeah, you just bring it into your real life. I don't know. Scott Pilgrim is one of those movies,

and Terminator 2 is the same. No. No, it is. They're the same because what they should have done, what I would... It never would have worked because they wouldn't have made any money. I mean, Scott Pilgrim wouldn't make any money anyway, so they may as well have tried it.

They should have pitched that. All the trailers should have pitched that as a romantic comedy with no sci-fi fighting elements at all, and then you think it's going to be this guy dealing with all the exes and all this relationship drama, and then you get in and then it be this guy dealing with all the exes and all this relationship drama and then you get in and then it's insane video game fight. That would have been great. That would have been great.

Exactly. Yeah. Do you think a lot of people would have left the cinema? No, I would have stuck around. Come on. What movie were we in? What's that movie about the end of the world and Martin Freeman's in it? The World's End.

New Tiger's Guide to the Galaxy. Oh, right. Okay. Sorry. There were two. Okay. But remember two people left during that that's not a great movie

because I think they were expecting something else and then there was the dolphin sing song at the start that's right and then they left

and the guy was as he left he was like what a what a dumb movie he said as he left yeah in the wittiest call

yeah that's pretty good that's not a great movie but yeah what a dickhead okay but but in Terminator 2 is the same where

and again listeners if you've never... If you have a friend, and I always like to try this, if you have a friend who's never seen the first two Terminator films, get them in a room and watch them back to back. Yep. Because that second one will blow their mind. Yeah.

And again, they should have done this in the trailer. And I get... It's probably a fine balancing act, because there's a lot of great special effects in that film, and you want to show them off to get people in the cinemas but if you came straight from the first Terminator

and you watched Terminator 2 for the first 15 minutes you would assume that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the bad guy you absolutely would and that Robert Patrick is the good guy

again because it's this weird parallel to the first one he doesn't it's only 20 minutes in that you realise the T-1000

killed that cop and yeah and and what have you assumed his form as opposed to yeah just putting his uniform on and so on but because they had to market all the amazing special effects they had to reveal that that guy was liquid metal in the trailers yeah that kind of took a lot of yeah absolutely right yeah that i'm trying to think i don't think I know anybody. Everybody I know is... We'll find someone. Yeah, we will. Yeah, we'll get them.

Just kidnap someone from the streets. Yeah, definitely, yeah. Yeah, there you go. You're right about that Terminator thing. They're making a new one as well. They're casting, looking for Sarah Connor at the moment. Schwarzenegger's in it. And I think they were talking about setting it in the 50s?

Huh. I'll watch that. Yeah, I'll watch that. I'll watch the hell out of that. I don't know how Sarah Connor's in it. But, you know, who knows? That changes all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, who knows? Last one. What the hell out of that? Oh, better, worse, whatever. I think both of those are better. I think both of those are better. You're right, yeah. Not that that's...

It's still a great movie. Yeah. But I think both of those are better. Last one. Ready? We got this. This has been a bit of a long one, so I apologise to you.

We'll edit out all the dead space. I'll edit out... So this will come down to 32 minutes. I'm going to edit out my rant about my... No, keep it in. No, keep that in. That's the best part. That is the best part.

And you always... If you edit that out, I will just come over here one day and you've just got your headphones in and you're listening to that rant over and over again. Like, what did I put in the show? What did I put in the show? So keep kept it in the show. What a prick. He dragged that out on purpose so that I couldn't see Batman. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I know. You've seen Batman since though. I have. Yeah. But still, what a prick. Okay.

So Alien from 1979. Again, not a comic, a lot of comics based on the Aliens franchise do you remember what happened at the end of Alien 1979 shuttle airlock space suit

kicks it out the airlock it's still hanging on the end of the that's Aliens no it's still hanging on the

hook thing and she fires the engines and burns it. To a crisp. You're right. In the original version. I'm ready. Ridley Scott. I'm just going to read this because it's just easier. Ridley would... Ripley would make her escape. Ripley or Ridley?

Ripley. So confusing. I know. The woman from Ghostbusters. Yep. Two. Yes. Would make her escape Viggo the Carpathian yes yes Ripley would make her escape

from the exploding Nostromo uh huh only for the Xenomorph to reappear in the shuttle which it does yep it then bites her head off and then starts communicating

with Earth using her voice wow no that would have changed everything that would have changed wow yeah what would have changed, wow. Yeah. What would have happened is the ongoing effect of that would have been that thousands of comic book

creators and movie makers would have been out of jobs because that would have been the last Alien film. Yep. I think, yeah. The last Alien anything. I mean, and that would have, they would have had a whole, if they did do sequels to that, the Alien would have had wacky powers, I'd imagine. Like it could morph into a human or whatever and that would have, they would have had a whole, if they did do sequels to that, the alien would have had wacky powers. I'd imagine like it could morph into a human or whatever. It would have got a very strange twist. That was a good call to take that out. Definitely.

Also, if they're like, yeah, I'm Ripley. I'm not an alien. I'm going to come back to earth. They'd be like, cool.

And then they'd open the door and be like, Oh, it's an alien. Yeah. That's a, that's a really scary alien. Yeah. We should probably,

good thing we have this tank and then bang over. So, yeah. Kind of pointless. Kind of stupid. I'd love to see it if it exists. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. There we go.

That's the show, Mason. Ah, so that's worse. Yeah, obviously. Just so we're clear. That's so much worse. Yeah. That is so much worse. Uh-huh.

Again, apologies to those listening for this running a little long, but there is a lot of alternative things. I thought about splitting it into two, but then I thought, you know what? No. Good. That was my thought process. Cause then you'd have to click stop and record again.

Yeah. God, are you kidding me? Ugh. Don't do that. I'm an idiot. Yeah. Next week again,

don't know what we're going to talk about. Doesn't matter. Yeah. Well, we will talk about the new Spider-Man trailer. I'll tell you that much. Okay, good.
