The director decided he didn't like virtually all of the original film and dumped nearly everything from it, to improve on it.

It has a 14% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

He clearly did a great job of improving it. box

Does it not have two different editions each with a different ending? Like Kind Hearts and Coronets.

I think there might be two endings to SDR.

The tragic one is - despite the film being absolutely rubbish - entirely gratuitously grim in that way '70s films often were.

I'm pretty sure that the one on TalkingPitchers is the "Yeah,-David-Essex-is-the-Champion-of-the-Motorbike-Racing-Match-on- His-"SilverDreamMachine"-Oh-Noes-He's-Crashed-and-Exploded bananafire

-cue-Freeze-Frame-of-His-Girlfriend's-Face-Twisted-in-Anguish-and-Horror Gorilla No

" version though.

I think the 'happy' ending one just cuts it short as he crosses the line in triumph.

I don't think there's a alternate ending with other footage and dialogue and everything.

by Fangirl Three Wed Mar 27, 2019 8:44 pm

Yes, those are basically the endings I'd heard about for SDM.
