5 Ridiculous Alternate Endings We're Glad Never Happened

It often takes a whole bunch of creative minds to make a movie happen, and they don't always have the same vision. The director and screenwriter might disagree over how the story should go, or studio execs might make changes after test audiences decide that seeing the Titanic sink is just too sad.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day | 0:28
Titanic | 1:12
The Butterfly Effect | 1:50
The Blair Witch Project | 2:21
Clerks | 2:50
