It's a pretty bland and muted color palatte.

Isn't it shocking that this movie, that started the whole end credits thing, has never had a single home release with the original way the end credits actually happened? AFAIK, not one home video release, not one TV broadcast, not one theatrical re-release has ever show the original last eight minutes or so of the film!!!! The original way was so much better!

But they were scared that people would miss it on home video, the TV broadcasters didn't want to have to deal with showing almost all the end credits and then when they did the theatrical re-releases that was the period when theaters started turning on the lights as soon as the credits rolled and people flooded out so they were afraid to do it properly.

But now we have the irony that we have tons of new films doing end sequences, but the one that started it all is the only one where you can't see the original version.

I saw the movie theatrically several times in '86 (I was 15) and every home video version has shown the entire film as it was in theaters. Lay off the drugs, okay?

[WBMakeVMarsMovieNOW]

It seems ironic that the movie that made the mid/post credits sequence famous, there has never been a single release on any format that I am aware of or any showing on any TV station that has ever presented the original theatrical ending/credits sequence. Heck, none of the theatrical re-releases has given us the original ending/credits sequence either, just one of the same lame, mangled up versions as in the home releases.

All we have are a couple or so of badly mangled versions that really ruin the whole effect and humor in it all. Some of the things he says don't even entirely make sense with the mangled edits they have given us outside of the original theatrical release.

Some versions just run the whole thing side by side with the credits all at once which totally ruins everything about it. I think a couple little bits are even cut.

Originally none of it was split screen and it went into the credit differently and then it would drop back into the movie and show much of the ending and then go back to full credits again and then cut back to another little scene and then back to full credits and then back for more and then for full credits and by then everyone was tired of getting tricked so waited to the very, very end and then all of sudden at the end it popped back to one last scene, where he is like "what are you people still doing here???? get out, go, shoo!". Anyway, the way they placed the cuts and the timing and the parts they had started after the credits and having it all full screen for everything, etc. was just brilliantly edited to comedic perfection. All that has been totally lost since the very original theatrical release.

The home release with the continuous end sequence side by side with the credits is a particularly egregious versions since his comment about what are you still doing here doesn't even make any sense since in this version people were just watching the whole end continuously, why should they have stopped watching? This seems to be the version they most use now too. I think they also change at what point the credits even first begin to roll. Possibly even edit out one tiny bit entirely, not sure.

Basically nobody who didn't either see it during its original run or who hasn't managed to luck out and see and original 35mm print at some throwback night at some lucky local theater, has ever seen the last part of the main ending plus the credits the real way it was supposed to all go down.

I'm stunned that they still have not fixed this for any release. Originally they changed it because they were afraid VHS viewers would miss it and because TV stations like cut down/fast credits. But what excuse since then?
