There were 3 filmed endings to the movie. The first is the one that is in the normal release of the movie. The second, available on the DVD version, follows the path of the first one, but is just different and does not contain the sequence in which the ambulance crashes into the house or the part where Mark Rumsfield slide tackles Hans Klopek. It does have a few more scenes though like Hans being interrogated and Dr. Klopek giving a speech on what is wrong with the suburbs. Rube also tells Ray that he was going to enjoy having him over for their final dinner. The third, which has not been released in any form officially, is supposed to have Ray get killed in the van, the Klopeks are pronounced innocent, and the garbies are found bound and gagged in the Klopek's trunk. The last ending follows the ending contained in the script.
