Scrolling down this list of ‘Ten Movies Where the Bad Guys Win’, I was terrified that I would come upon a movie I hadn’t seen yet, but it did make me think about what would happen if the ending had changed on some of my favorite movies.

Imagine if Hans Gruber had teamed up with Harry ‘Bubby’ Ellis to do massive lines of coke and kill McClane using Holly as bait? What if Derek and Hansel hadn’t been able to stop Mugatu in time? Or if the aliens had killed Will Smith in Independence Day OR Men In Black? Those’d be some different flicks then, no? What’s the biggest bad guy winning turn around you can think of?
