what movie has the greatest turnaround. Like all hope is lost, people are fleeing or whatever, and something happens, then everyone rallies and of course wins the day.
Its in tons of movies, usually pretty cheesy. But there must be some that do it right. What are they?
The original/alternate ending of “I am Legend” that was scrapped for the dumb reason that test audiences didn’t immediatly understand it.
Spoiler:
In that ending, the main character realized that the “mindless zombies” he hunted are actually pretty sentient and from their perspective, HE was the monster terrorizing their entire species day in, day out. The main character had captured one of them to conduct experiments for a possible cure, and once he realizes that the zombies attacking his base only want to get her back, he sets her free and the zombies leave in peace. That was such a cool, meaningful “oh shit!” moment and they scrapped it in favor of “main character heroically blows himself up and kills all the zombies in the base” instead
Wasn’t that the ending in the original one from the 70s?
Huh… I never knew about that version, but it seems to be a lot closer to what the novel had as an ending, so yes.
It is also the ending used as basis for the coming sequel
