After getting the Nightmare On Elm Street 2 shooting script from Drew's Script-o-rama, I noticed something very weird about the final scene.
INT. SCHOOL BUS - DAY
There are about a DOZEN KIDS in the bus, playing radios, having a good time, etc.
LISA, in the back, waves to Jesse and smiles. She wears a BANDAGE on her shoulder where Freddy slashed her. Jesse, in the front smiles and waves back.
Jesse makes his way down the aisle to Lisa, greeting a few kids, slapping a hand or two.
ON JESSE & LISA
Jesse plops down next to her, gives her a quick kiss, puts his good arm around her.
JESSE
Hi.
LISA
Hi.
Lisa chuckles.
JESSE
What's so funny?
LISA
We must look like a couple of escapees
from a veterans' hospital.
Jesse smiles and shakes his head.
JESSE
I can't believe we actually --
Lisa puts a finger to her mouth to cut him off -- no need to tell about unpleasant things. Jesse smiles again -- she's right. he kisses her.
Jesse moves his head away from hers for the big kiss. Lisa's eyes are closed, ready to receive it.
She opens her eyes. They are pupil-less, blood-streaked, demonic. With an EVIL ROAR, a huge SERPENT TONGUE FLICKS OUT of her mouth and attacks Jesse who screams.
EXT. DESERT LANDSCAPE - DAY
The bus WHINES near the top end of third, all of its FLASHERS firing wildly. It races away through the desert in a cloud of dust.
FADE OUT
Now I know the real ending has Freddy's glove bursting out of Kerry's chest. ButI was just wondering if anybody knows whether or not this originally-planned ending was ever actually shot, or whether it was scrapped before shooting took place.
And which ending would you have preferred - the current one (glove bursts out of Kerry, bus speeds through the desert again), or this seemingly alternative one (serpent tongue bursts out of Lisa's mouth, big screaming, etc)?
