Foiler Footage: Difference between revisions

 

Compare to [[Multiple Endings]], in which more than one resolution is intended to be shown.

* ''[[Dallas]]'' shot several resolutions to the "Who shot J.R.?" cliffhanger. (Including one where J.R. shot himself.)

** The film crew for the "Bobby in the Shower" reveal thought that Patrick Duffy was making a soap commercial.

* ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]'' did the exact same thing for "[[The Simpsons (Animation)/Who Shot Mr. Burns/Recap|Who Shot Mr. Burns?]]", even though only a few of them could have been guilty - there was a gunshot, and Principal Skinner's gun had a silencer; Moe had a shotgun, which would've killed Burns, and Apu is shown using an automatic weapon that still leaves just one wound. They also shot a full alternate summation where Smithers goes through his whole [[Motive Rant]], and it's explained how all the clues could have added up to Smithers being the culprit. {{spoiler|It was Maggie, by the way.}}

* The fourth season of ''[[Lost]]'' shot multiple reveals of who was in the coffin at the end of the final episode. {{spoiler|Sawyer and Desmond}} were the other two filmed to be in the coffin, but obviously weren't in it when the episode aired. In the [[DVD Bonus Material]] for that season the writers said that they sweated a bit when that episode aired for fear the editor had spliced the wrong [[Foiler Footage]] onto the end of the episode because it would have been a bear to write their way out of.

* In addition to the one that ended up in the film two alternate endings of ''[[The Silence of the Lambs|Hannibal]]'' were filmed for the purpose of obfuscation, both of which involved the titular character dying.
