@@LibraGamesUnlimited When they basically had Borg in Necropolis I gave up caring and went in to mindless entertainment mode. I couldn't do that with Rave though, it was just too bad for even that low bar. But I think their plan had been to do what 1 and 2 did with the same cast but as different characters. It wasn't the best thing to try again, given that it was something in 2 that people didn't care much for. 3 is special to me I guess, it is the first one I saw and made me a big fan of Melinda Clarke. It felt more psychological with it having the parallel with depression and self harm. Temporary relief from the real problem, but it lasts less and less time the more it is done. Maybe I'm just reading too much in to it, I just thought her character was really well done. There's a pretty good documentary about them if you haven't it, called More Brains. They only do talk about the first 3.

It's still a pretty contrived way to get them into a secure area so they can get their corpse-sicle, though. Also, I thought the "I love you" part was J.C. knowing he was a goner and trying to explain how much he cared about his best friend. Though unrequited love works, too.

That was the studio-approved ending that was shown in theaters because the executives, having NO clue how to sell the film, wanted to put a jump scare scene at the end. Knowing the film's narrative, it doesn't work.

Yeah, that's the ending I got the first time I saw this back in -86. It was the ending on VHS rental here in Finland. Was surprised later on, when I re-watched it on DVD and it had that other ending.

Yup, studio fired Tim Miller after he refused to cut his two hour film down to ninety minutes then the studio hired a new director to make the edits & change the original ending but, Tim got the last laugh because the studio never bothered to secure the TV distribution rights so Tim bought them, and Tim was given the footage cut from his original version of the film because the studio saw it as garbage. So Tim took the footage the studio gave him, painstakingly restored his cut of the film AT HIS OWN HOUSE, because he had the TV distribution rights Tim made sure his version was the one that aired on basic cable and there wasn't a damn thing the Studio could do about it.

Surprised you didn't mention that the ending with burnt Tom Atkins and the Aliens in the cemetery was the Director's Cut ending. The theatrical version ending had the dog coming back and infecting Cynthia. Love this movie and this review. It's a favorite of mine to watch on Halloween.

There is an alternate ending where Cynthia goes to pet the dog in front of the burning house and the dog spits out a slug. They don't show the aliens searching in the cemetery.

Let's not forget the film's original theatrical ending (the UFO ending was added later to home video releases). The movie originally ends when the dog who caused the bus accident returns and approaches Cynthia. As Cynthia bends down toward it, the dog opens its mouth and a slug jumps out toward her.

Gotta love how you didn't get that the alien being chased by the other two aliens was infact an infected alien. You can tell by its eyes.
