In Reply to: Clerks original ending... posted by Broudieman on November 09, 2000 at 04:32:52:
On the con side, it would have been a very unfunny ending to a very funny movie.
On the pro side, it would have fit perfectly in with what Dante had said early, "life is a series of down notes". You don't get a much more down note than getting blown away.
: I read the original ending to clerks yesterday and I thought it was a very bad idea to kill Dante especially as Jay was indirectly responsible. I didn't mind the idea at first but after reading it I'm so glad they changed it as I feel it made for a better film. Any other takes on this?
