Sounds like spectacularly campy goodness. <br /><br />I saw this movie when it first came out, back in the day, and I thought it was a lot of fun. I used to walk around singing Steve Martin's "Be a Dentist" song. And the scene with him as the sadistic dentist and Bill Murray as the masochistic patient was kind of classic. "I need a long ... slow ... root canal." Funny that I remember that stuff over 25 years later. :-PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230980845116084488.post-85792878330328256362012-10-04T21:11:33.199-07:002012-10-04T21:11:33.199-07:00Ooh!

The original ending for practically any other version besides this film version ends up with everybody dying. And they actually filmed that ending where not only did everybody die, but the plants took over the world. It was an incredibly expensive shoot to pull off everything. But then test audiences loathed the ending and demanded a happy one. So they scrapped the downer ending and spent a few million dollars to shoot the ending you have in the movie.<br /><br />Now, when it came to DVD, there was the original ending in the deleted scenes. Of course, it wasn't totally finished. It was in black-and-white and sound, etc., was unfinished. This DVD was pulled off the shelves after a week and it became a collector's item.<br /><br />However, the director's cut DVD/Blu-Ray comes out in a couple weeks that not only has the original ending fully restored (colored and everything), but also attached to the film.<br /><br />Needless to say... I preordered that puppy ages ago. :PNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.com
