Line 156:
** Colin Creevey is also not shown to die. (Although he [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome|does not appear either]])
** Subverted with Hedwig. In the book, Harry takes her with him when he leaves the Dursleys and she's killed in the following chase scene. In the film, he lets her go before the chase scene, only for her to return and die taking a spell for him.
* In the original ending of ''[[The Vanishing]]'', the movie's [[Downer Ending]] involves the protagonist [[Buried Alive]] by the killer; the remake, however, changes the entire ending, having him escape this certain doom, kill the villain, and even [[I Should Write a Book About This| sell the story to a movie producer]]. Oddly, both versions of the movie were directed by the same man, so one assumes he didn't object to the change.
* The originally filmed ending to ''[[Rambo|First Blood]]'' was much closer to the novel by David Morrell, which had John Rambo forcing Trautman to kill him. However, due to Rambo's more sympathetic portrayal in the film, a new ending was filmed which had Rambo being arrested instead, making the sequels possible. [[Adaptation Displacement|Due to the relative obscurity of the novel]], not many are aware that Rambo was supposed to die in the first film. Ironically, Morrell adapted the film's sequels into novels; as such, he took note of the [[Canon Discontinuity]] in the first sequel, throwing said discontinuity out the window just as quickly.
* The fourth kidnapped cardinal in ''[[Angels & Demons]]''.
Line 182 ⟶ 183:
* The [[Hellboy (comics)|Hellboy]] comic book kicks off with the death of Professor Bruttenholm, Hellboy's "father". In the film adaptation, he survives half the movie.
* Echo the Ventriloquist drowns in ''[[The Unholy Three]]'', but survives in both movie adaptations; rather ironic given that this was [[Lon Chaney]]'s final role before his untimely death.
