- Here is Burt Reynolds original ending to the movie Stick. Burt's version was a far superior movie to the one that was released after the studio insisted on a load of reshoots and additional action scenes in the hope of better Box Office, ruined a great movie and turned it in to a poor one!!

Wow, I didn't even know there was another version?? This was the only version I've seen. Love the ending. I saw an interview where the studio could not get the picture insured unless Burt and Dar agreed to do this scene last, because it was so dangerous. No CGI, no trick photography, no air bag at the bottom. Dar is falling backwards with a hydraulic cable attached to his pants that arrested his fall when got close to the ground. I also read where he asked Burt if he should empty the gun on the way down - Burt said no, just do the stunt without killing yourself, and he emptied it anyway because he said that's what this character would do! Dar Robinson - best stuntman who ever lived.
There is a TH-camr named Gator McKlusky who does a deep dive on Burt, and he has a full video on the differences between the two versions
Here it is

Check out his other Burt videos
I watched this stunt happen when I was a kid. Grew up in Coconut Grove where it happened. I think it's where my fear of heights originated from
100% a far as i read tto.
Ty saves me some typing.
Yes, how true, the man knew how to fall..I love this stunt!, but the jaw dropping one in Sharkey's machine is still my favorite....He even does a great smaller scale one in another fav, doubling for Oliver Reed in Burnt Offerings...and that stunt is shown close up from the bottom POV.......priceless.
R.I.P. Charles Durning and Dar Robinson.
...and now, Burt, too
Too true, one of the best stunts ever
Burt Reynolds was one hell've of an actor. You don't see many actors that can do both comedy, and action/drama.
Dar Robinson really fell off the building...
“Turd Ferguson, it’s a funny name”.
Release this version in its full glory, you blasted studio execs!
Never seen this version. Always remembered Dar Robinson's character being such a savage. Loved how he went out, emptying that revolver on the way down. R.I.P. GENTLEMEN. You are missed. Thank you both for your work.
This was a famous stunt even before the movie was released. What other ending was there?
Candice B. was in the room in this version and said that line I don't think I'm ready for you. The other one I seen was the one Burt Reynolds and her are talking on their car phones and they both turned around and the same section of the highway and meet in the middle the music plays, romantic embrace at the end.
@@michaelcoffman4185: Oh. I was wondering what on Earth the difference was. The big part of the movie was the fall. It and the CN Tower fall were groundbreaking stunts, no pun intended.
The original version of 'Stick' with alternate ending was shown on BBC television here in the UK on Wednesday night February 15, 1989 at 22.35pm - This version has never again been shown.
That really sucks :( ! Hopefully one day this version will be available on a new dvd or Blu Ray !!
@@RiderRated18 It will be available on a german blu-ray soon.
@@mindmaster58 I certainly hope so 🤞🙂🤞 Do you have a link to that info ??
@@RiderRated18 Yes I do I just got the German blue ray director cut was great
This is actually a really great movie but was sadly overlooked and never got much circulation. I never knew there was an alternate ending until just now and it was great seeing a different version from the one in the official release.
I loved this movie too
movie was fukin awesome! Burt at his peak!
It wasn't just an alternate ending, it was a completely different movie from the facts I gathered. Everything with his daughter and the bad guy that kidnaps her were all part of the re-shoots Universal forced Burt to make. Annie Potts played a character that was completely cut out of the film. Her whole story line was left on the cutting room floor. Not only was the story completely changed, but so was the soundtrack. Universal forced Burt, who was very ill at the time and not willing to put up a fight, to change the tone of the film by making the soundtrack more Miami Vice. Burt has said that if he felt better then Stick would of been the movie he set out to make. But if you remember, this was right after the movie City Heat where Burt got into a career changing accident during a stunt gone wrong. The tabloids ran stories about Burt dying of AIDS because of his rapid weight loss and drug addiction when in truth he suffered from TMJ. He couldn't chew, got constant headaches, was popping a ton of percs just to dull the pain enough so he could finish the movie. All in all, it was probably the worst time of his life. I only wish the studio let Burt put out the film he wanted to. I am sure it would of been better than what they did release. It could not have been worse.
Jason Thompson, great comment, you know your facts on point, & I can tell your a real fan of Burt Reynolds as I was, He made some bad ass films in his day, & came back with Boogie Nights!! That movie was great, he should have won with that part, he was robbed.
Thanks. I am a huge Burt Reynolds fan. Shamus, Sharkey's Machine, Hooper and Switching Channels are among his very best. And even though he was fantastic in Boogie Nights, I thought his real comeback performance was as an old broken down thief in 1989's Breaking In. I am sure you have seen it, but just in case you haven't, you really should. It and especially him are quite good. A funny thing about Burt and it's happened to a bunch of other stars, too...like Sly and Arnold...people tell them how funny they are in their action movies and that makes them think that they can pull off an entire comedy...truth is, they can't. Comedy is sooo hard to do. Probably the hardest genre to pull off correctly. There is no room for error in a comedy. You can screw up something simple and if the laugh isn't there, then the entire film suffers. In Burt's case, his loyalty to friends really destroyed his box office performances. Saddling up with Hal Needham was his biggest downfall. It was both a blessing and a curse. The first Smokey and the Bandit was such a huge hit (and rightfully so) that they continued to make films together. And for every decent one there was an equally shitty one. Smokey One led to Smokey two. Hooper led to Stroker Ace. And Cannonball Run led to Cannonball Run two. See what I mean. At a time when Burt should of been focusing on the right role in the right script, he was partnering up with his friends and cashing in HUGE paydays. It was the worst thing for his career. No one wanted to see him sing with Dolly or romance Goldie Hawn. City Heat was suppose to be a sure fire hit, but he played it for laughs insteada taking it somewhat seriously. The original script by Blake Edwards was quite good. Whatever comedy was in it, was comedy that stemmed from human behavior and NOT comedic situations! Even before his "accident", the writing was on the wall for Burt's career. It was like watching a car crash. You could see it coming a mile a way. Now, had he been feeling 100 %, Burt might have been able to correct the course of his career, but because he was sick there was NO WAY he was able to fix things. This is why we got stuck with Malone and Heat (another time when a great script was made into a crappy film - written by Bill Goldman who wrote Butch Cassidy, The Princess Bride and All the President's Men, just to name a few). I have to wonder, if Burt was in top form during these years, what films would he have really made? Anyway...since his passing, I have given a lot of thought to Burt Renyolds' career. I mean the guy made "The Longest Yard" probably one of the BEST football movies. And the ending of The End might just be one of the funniest monologues I have EVER heard in film history. Burt will be missed. Thankfully, though, he left us with a large body of work to rummage through. So many HITS, so many MISSES. I am grateful that one of his final films was, in my opinion, among his hits. And if you haven't seen The Last Movie Star you are missing out on a truly good Burt Renyolds performance.
Dar Robinson's character Bunny Eyes was to me the most evil character ever and ever since this movie came out I always felt he was never given a more prestigious honor in Hollywood especially for his famous stunts, that in itself alone was no mild achievement. I hope one day Hollywood would see what a special actor Dar Robinson really was and hopefully some actor can recreate Dar's character from this Cool movie, his like the Joker just more intriguing and perfectly sinister... Rest in Peace DAR ROBINSON my favorite movie bad guy of all time period🙏
Hollywood isn’t going to see anything. That place is a cesspool. Who cares what Hollywood Sees. This movie stick doesn’t need Hollywood to give it some kind of a trophy. The people know it’s good and that’s all that matters.
@@harryangel4822absolutely
Dar was an amazing stuntman rip to him Burt and Charles they were legendary
I love Durning's Captain Kangaroo "look" in this film ;)
They should put this on blu ray/dvd.
Evil literally destroyed itself. You have to love this movie! 😀
He was a great stuntman
RIP Burt Reynolds.
Maybe now he's gone this movie will get the full Blu ray treatment with deleted scenes and alternate ending.
This and Sharkey's Machine were always my favourites.
80's classics for sure. Saw both of them at the theater as a teenager.
I loved Sharkey's Machine...need to see it again. These are the types of movies they should be showing on late night TV.
Some beautiful hair in this scene.
1:16 Also, brilliant acting by the guy roughed up by Burt. Brilliant acting by Brian Dennehy.
That wasn’t Brian Dennehey. That was Charles Durning.
@@johnszorc7481There's an alternate-alternate version and Brian Dennehy plays Chucky, Stick is played by Charles Bronson, Moke is played by Leslie Nielsen and Eric Estrada is Spic
I played the hood sitting in the car…a great day to be at work-saw it all up close..
I love how there was a time where the villain was played by someone who wasn’t well known while the hero was a famous star. There was just something different about those films. And the people who played “villains” got their debut in bigger films by playing those roles.
If you like this check out Sharkey's Machine. I believe Dar did the last scene stunt in that also. I think it's a record that hasn't been broken since. Falling from an upper levrl skyscraper (I can't remember how many floors the fall was) onto the roof of another building below.
The exact same thing happened to me when I hooked up with Candice Bergin
this and heat was the last really good burt movies
HEAT and Stick, as well Marlone are all great movies. Reason there fun with sharp smartass words and full of action more real than staged.
lesser known burt movie is shark which is pretty cool
What about Shamus
...and maybe... Sharky's Machine?
Of course, Deliverance.
My boy Bert took him out and didn't even need to break a sweat.
I remember the title of this movie being changed a couple of times as well as production being halted because Burt was having some health issues. I just got the DVD the other day and grew up in Fort Lauderdale as well as playing guitar with a friend's band called Justa Head at Dirty Nelly's and going to Shooters right next door. Ah, those were the days! Too bad about Dar Robinson.
This was shot after Burt had his jaw broken filming City Heat with Clint. He had trouble eating solid foods, had massive headaches, vertigo, light sensitivity, TMJ, etc. Hence why he is very thin in this film (and in City Heat). Many Industry people were convinced he had AIDS and refused to work with him after this. It was a REALLY terrible time for him. That injury almost ruined his career. It most definitely (negatively) altered his career/life forever. He also found out he had lots of false friends who left him as well. Very sad.
Interesting to be able to see this ending, but the producers made the right choice in editing. This ending darkens an otherwise balanced movie, in my opinion. Turning Candice's character into whatever it is here ruins an otherwise good performance by her. This is a good movie and a hidden gem. And, it is now available on DVD and Blu-ray.
This is the craziest looking Charles Durning I’ve ever seen.
Also the silliest death scene ever.
And I don’t believe Candace for one second here haha
Great movie and ending! Why don't you push just a little harder and you might make it! Sweet! That be me I would have said have a nice trip see ya next fall!
Having read the book and seen the movie many times I have to be honest I enjoy the re shoot better. When they are both meeting up in what looks like alligator alley or intestate 75 etc. This is definitely a grittier end and he doesn't get the girl but it's hard to say they're both good.
How was this different? The falling stunt was widely publicized and famous before the movie came out. Nobody remembers the movie, but the stunt is remembered.
In the theatrical version, Burt and Candice live happily ever after together.
Burt true action legend he'll be missed true star American icon
Much more bittersweet
It is!! I prefer this version
Great how the gears turned here. Chucky wanted Moke to off Burt. The dealers paid Moke to off both Chucky and Burt. Alls Burt had to do was stand by and watch a drug addled Chucky send himself and Moke over the side. Still think Moke went too easy. Was such an evil guy that Burt should have made him suffer a long time. But the Stick character was learning to be a better guy so he just let it work out.
Fantastic seen❤
Great stuntman Dar rip respect❤❤❤
Yes, is this original version available anywhere, I prefer it too?
Tune them up🎉
One of the last times when Burt was a real bad ass on camera. Malone, Heat were kinda shitty.
I'm really glad you showen this gives another outlook. But with the other ending it's longer Though I like the part with the slamming the door on the HOOD leg makes you laugh.
This was the same ending as the movie I saw!
Wow this ending is loads better, another example of executives STICKing their nose into something they know fuck all about
Just awsome:) I like the original version but the VHS version was nice when they met on freeway and pulled off to kiss each other I think it was Alligator Alley, good shots of the rolls and that version too.
What kind of idiot sits there with the car door open when an enemy strides toward you.
Charles Durning never looked more handsome.
I like the shootout better between Burt Reynolds and the villian's henchmen on the ending of Stick.
He could have just swung his legs forward and landed on the condo below.
Very good movie I think it was one of Burts best movies..r.i.p stick.
Where did you find this footage and do you have any of Annie Potts' deleted scenes?
I like the ending but I like when Burt Reynolds went back to the crooks place and they had a shootout.
WW he kicked some ass 🎉
This is a far more interesting ending. But Nestor ends up getting away based on this ending. That means it's someone incomplete. Thanks for the post @Slightlymad22
The version I saw started at 1:44, no girl, no idea how Stick got to Chucky's apartment. It didn't show Candice in the apt. at all. She & stick meet out on the freeway & smooch over the end credits.
Wonderful Dar Robinson stunts. I believe he did both Chucky's and Moki's fall. No air bag and no CGI.
Sadly, most of the acting, for me, sucked and Durning was sullied by his part. Didn't like it better on the second viewing last night.
I liked Shamus a whole lot, though.
Shamus and Sharky's Machine are my favorite Burt Reynolds movies, too. He was also really good in Breaking In where he played an old thief who teaches a young thief the ropes. It's on youtube if you haven't seen it. Also the original Longest Yard & Gator, Smokey 1 and Hooper. Christ, there are a lot of great Burt Reynolds' movies, aren't there? But Shamus & Sharky are still the best and least known.
Man, I wish to hell I could see the original cut of this film! I bet it's better than the version Orion released.
jason thompson it is much better!!
jason thompson it is much better!!
Jason Thompson sorry, I tried twice before, and it’s annoyingly, always taken down for copyright
Love miami
The Careless Whisper hotel.
Great actor, missed beyond words!
Wow, Burt really got screwed over by his studio & here's the proof. Moke was the most interesting thing in the re-cut and once he lets go of the rails the movie should have ended. By messing with that they created a flop that tarnished Burt's reputation, lost millions of unearned revenues from people who didn't go, pissed off Elmore Leonard and created a half-shit movie with very little re-viewing appeal, other than the Moke scenes. Makes it even more tragic that Dar Robinson never got to play another role with as much to do. He is excellent, reminds me of the killers from classic Spaghetti Westerns. But I am still not sure why Chucky goes over the rails. Was it just too much momentum?
well .. the acting on her part is terrible here and the ending worse, i recall going to the theater and loving the movie i still have the original in my collection of Burts movies. how can it be more interesting??? to have Burt go through the second full scene with his daughter and mr cuban Santería and then win both the rolls and the chick went perfect with his then reputation of the action character to all of us guys that watched him as we grew into his success...after all he and the others like steve mcqueen clint eastwood burt lancaster paul newman charles bronson james coburn sean connory..... to have it end with that??? even her statement about the 5k was untrue.. he wanted revenge... and i simply do not get where the released version was in any way bad or missing anything: and imagine leaving nestor out.. holy crap chucky was too cheesy! he literaly sucked it should not have had him at all , just nestor [spelling??]
This is the only ending I’ve ever seen. Sharky’s Machine was even better.
burt reynolds stick calypso song what's it called
Wasn't Candace coming off of Gandhi at this point, interesting choice in a long TV and movie career. Of course Murphy Brown was just around the corner at this point.
Candace Bergen in this or Lauren Hutton in Gator.
also armorred command very hard to get copy for that
Noticed actress Vicki Friedricks getting 8th bill, she isn't even in the current version?? Who does she play? And who does Annie Potts play?
After reading the book she would be Barry Braun's side girl, Rorie aka Aurora; Barry also goes by a different last name. Annie Potts character's name is the assistant to movie producer Firestone which plays into the movie pitch that is currently in the released movie.
Even this ending is not as good as the book's ending, if they had kept Tammy Wynette as the ex-Wife maybe Reynolds could have done the book's ending.
Hello, we have a question about Burt Reynolds STICK. How can we contact you. The best way is via e-mail. We are looking for the TV version.
I HATE Father time! He is undefeated
The only thing different was that Stick was later seen driving down the highway. She was coming the other way. They meet and she rides off with him. It didn't ruin the flick at all.
The apartment scene is different, too. The release I saw Candace wasn't there and you don't see the part where Stick jams the guy's leg in the car door - they don't show how he gets to the apt, he's just there right in time to help Chucky die.
And the shoot out at Nestors, where they have is daughter is missing too
It was great, right up until the smarmy music. What were they thinking back then?
This movie looks like it had a £5 budget and got all those actors from a Butlins holiday camp.
I’m glad 123 people in the comments enjoyed the movie.
It was fuckin horrendous
Candice was NOT good in these scenes. I still can't make up my mind if I love or hate Charlie Durning in this role?
great scene, but man, if that dude couldn't pull himself up, or drop down to the balcony just below, well, he deserved to die lol
I miss films like this, as well I miss the times when you could do something that is right NOW today it's MEDIA junky world of all CRAP.
why dont you push real hard you mite hit the water poor oh bunny eyes classic lol
yeah didn't realize Burt Reynolds could be so aggressive which was actually cool what a great actor
I think that the obese dude was in a movie called "Dune ".
So the only difference is cuts of Candice over-acting?
why would she be crying.
Exactly, I'm glad this scene was edited out of the original version.
Burt wasted his talentz. Not for lack of trying but post SATB, he basically phoned in his acting. Every scene was lunch money. He worked often so a good one would creep in but most of his flicks later in his career were turkeys. He did shine in the fictionalized auto biographical flick at the very end where he confronts his younger self. Turning down TERMS OF ENDEARMENT ended up making him very remorseful. It made Jack Nicholson relevant again for the next ten years.
The studio usually knows better.
It wasn't as good as the book.
I remember watching this movie at the theater it was totally awesome I didn't know that Burt Reynolds could actually be so serious
Pinchi pelicula puta drama tica..........
