Has anyone seen the theatrical version of The Butterfly Effect?

We watched the director's cut and then saw that the theatrical version had a different ending. We don't have that disk and we are wanting to know what the ending was on the theatrical ending. Thanks.

2. ok

spoiler: single-click and hold your mouse over the rest of this post:

in the theatrical version, he goes back to a time when he first met the girl he keeps trying to save the world for (sorry I forgot sall the names) and when he first meets her, they are about 6 or 7, he is really mean to her and so they never become friends. Then he does that fat-forward thing to the "new" present, and he is a successful psychologist, married with kids, and she also seems successful - they pass on a crowded sidewalk, but it's clear they don't know each other, though there is a sort of doulbe-look thing, like they think they might know each other. Then they just keep walking away form each other.

The director's cut is much better IMO.

:D

5. Thanks!

Spoiler Alert!!!





We were desperate to know the end. I thought the director's ending was good (that he was never born) except for the fetus strangling itself part. Personally I think it would have been a cool ending to find out that it was all in his head. By the way it was really cool how you had the invisible spoiler!

7. that's an easy one

I learned here. you just do font color=white in the html brackets, so the test shows up as the same color as the background.

3. If I recall correctly, both versions are on the same disc

eom.

the director's commentary only goes with the director's cut though.

VIVA Miller red !

4. yes

I was going to add:

ps - on the disc I rented the director's cut was on one side, the theatircal version on the other side.

6. The DVD said to flip it over but my player wouldn't read it.

You are a life saver!

8. oh also

more spoilerish:

in the theatrical version they cut the scene with the psychic who reads his palm and tells him he wasn't supposed to be bron, and has no life line. Other than that, I'm not sure what else is different; it's mostly the same.
