The protagonist in the movie you're watching has just lead the bad guys, guns ablaze, on a high speed car chase through some generic downtown metropolis before boarding a helicopter that will take him to the secret lair of Dr. Nogood in order to rescue his kidnapped and near orphaned son. After jumping from the burning chopper without a parachute, our hero lands in the oceanside pool with models all around who pull semi-automatics on him from under their towels and open fire as he races toward the mansion holding his beloved offspring as the attack dogs are released.
Wait. Did you just think: Maybe he could have taken a cab to the house, gone in the front door, maybe knocked out the butler for a little thrill and saved himself a dirty suit?
Well, if you've ever thought some of the blockbuster films of recent years were a little ridiculous in terms of theatrics, you're not alone. Check out the website How It Should Have Ended and see an animated take on much more realistic, probable, or easier ways some of your favorite movies could have been concluded.
Some personal favorites to view are the time-saving ending to the third Lord of the Rings and the alternate ending to Willie Wonka based on that bizarre acid-tripping tunnel ride. The trailer spoof for Ocean's 40 is also pretty ingenious.
