"director's cut" endings from children's films, part 1: willie wonka

WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

WONKA: Charlie...my boy...You won! You did it! You did it! I knew you would, I just knew you would! The factory's yours! Come in, Mr. Wilkinson. Charlie, meet Mr. Wilkinson.

CHARLIE: Slugworth, you son of a bitch. (CHARLIE throws Everlasting Gobstopper at WILKINSON)

WONKA: No, no, that's not Slugworth. He works for me.

CHARLIE: How dare you show your face in this chocolate factory? (CHARLIE begins punching, kicking WILKINSON)

WONKA: Charlie, for God's sake, stop! It was only a test!

CHARLIE: This one's for Augustus! (Punch) And Violet! (Punch) And Veruca! (Punch)

GRANDPA JOE: Charlie, you're killing him! Please!

CHARLIE: Back off, old man! I'll hit you so hard you'll wish you were back in that bed!

WONKA: I don't think he's breathing, Charlie!

CHARLIE: (crying) Fucking Slugworth! (Punch) (Sniff) Oh, Mr. Wonka, what have I done?

WONKA: Cheer up, Charlie. It's gonna be OK, but we have to move fast. Grandpa Joe, we need two gallons of Fizzy-Lifting drink, a case of Scrumdidilyumptious bars, and an Oompa-Loompa that can keep a secret. Charlie, go warm up the glass elevator. We're headed for Mexico.

i always thought a good alternate ending to willy wonka and the chocolate factory would be if at the very end, as the glass elevator is flying off into the distance, it explodes in a big fireball. you know, just because.

I like your ending because you get a sense of why they're in the elevator and where they're going. I hate how the movie just ends with them floating in the air... I forget, does the book end like that?

No, the book has the fireball ending.

You people are all sick.
That's what you are.
Sheesh. Marshmallow Aliens. I mean, c'mon!

(On a side note: I will now have marshmallow alien nightmares.)
