ILOVE TOM SINCE TEENAGER, SINCE I SAW THIS FILM THE FIRST TIME 1983 AND TODAY IN 2024 I LOVE HIM MORE . TOM IS THE NUMBER ONE, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE ❤❤❤❤❤

i like the ending they went with

I don't see why the director got so pissy they didn't use this ending. Other than it being the one he preferred, I don't see it changing the tone or "message" of the film all that much, save for being a little more "adult."

WTF is he talking about? It's the exact same ending....

Epstein and Maxwell when they were first starting out.

Excited for the Criterion release this July 😎

This is the better ending. Thankfully the just announced Criterion UHD will let you pick which version you want to watch.

Well, she was half right. 10 years from then, Tom Cruise definitely made it big!

This was the better ending…. Better than the theatrical ending, because this ending is more realistic, where the theatrical ending was more like a John Hues movie. And although this movie was not a total reality portrayal, this ending served a more sobering point and vague, therefore effective narrative.

Great

Great acting in this scene!

Love it man ! It's been my motto since seeing it as a 16 year fk it take some chances and life's good now thx brilliant

This film is so 80s because it speaks about raw capitalism. Coming of age. It’s a classic

One of my favorite and the best

I was the original audience for this in theaters and I love this ending. "Time of your life" line works better (for me) but the hug is wonderful. Superb. Masterfully-written, -made and -scored film by Brickman, often overlooked because of who was in it and what it was about. This wrote the blueprint for the meaningful "teen movie." A masterpiece I'll watch every time.

That was a much better ending! They should have stuck with that.

The chances of Lana falling for Joel are next to nothing. The original release has Joel too assertive & confident - he's NEVER been in control. This ending, with his plea for her to come to him, is true to their dynamic during the rest of the film. He's got everything on a plate, but he's the vulnerable one - smart enough to realise how unlikely a relationship is, but desperately wanting to believe in it. We only see her through his eyes and cannot know what's really in her heart - a true femme fatale. The uncertainty allows us to hope for romance, without saying goodbye to reality just for the sake of an 'upbeat' ending. Definitely the way it should have been released.

life is not about money. capitalism is about money. that is why most people in the "richest" country are psychologically ill. you are alienated from your true nature. Erich Fromm explains

Way better ending!

Cruise = 🐐

World class acting, music, script, setting, everything.

This ending is better than what you see on dvd etc.

100% prefer the OG ending

You could tell Joel had changed quiet a bit by the end of the movie. The movie did a good job showing his change. He was more cool at the end.

Tom Cruise never topped this movie.

This is the version that should have quoted Guido.

Scores Ten Stringfellow's

Nuclear bunkers

"time of your life huh kid?" Forever slated in my top five favorite movies of all time.

Thanks

Sempre lindo até agora.Tom Cruise

*40 YEARS... AND STILL WATCHING!!*

F it I’ll watch risky business again

What lana say in the minute 3:17 ?

I prefer the original. This seems to undermine Rebecca's character. This is too soft. She is as hard as nails in the rest of the film.

10 years from now you end up a scientistolygest

21 movie came similar at end

The ending in the movie was much better

What a shame Tom got crazy as he got older.

This is a great ending but I think I prefer the the one that´s in the movie, beacuse I think the line Time of your life huh kid? fits in better then Isn't life grand.

Human fulfillment is creepy

Better ending

I'm back . Do you know, what was really the magic ? ( +He Leaves Blowing ) When she enters the house, & here also. The Leaves.. I can feel September October.

Way too sappy. I prefer the way it was in the film , especially when they're haggling for a night of sex. Risky business is one of my all time favourite films. ❤It epitomises the 80's which were truly amazing.

Mamma è giovanissimo un ragazzo

Mai visto purtroppo ❤❤❤❤

Oh Lana. To hold you and never let you go No matter what... just a hopeless romantic . For you to be my girlfriend...my dream

I much prefer this ending..I would have taken her with me .. I wouldn't have even gone . I would just stay with her. It's real love. Whys it gotta be so tough.. that young love . That feeling . It really captured me this film.. from my era. I didn't like the other ending it makes me sad that they gotta not stay together. I loved her . Even though its a movie I felt that love...she is a very beautiful woman as well.. if was me ... I would hold her and never ever let her go...

‘I think we’re both going to hit a big”. The reality is you know her life would never be a happy ending. I read that the men sitting behind Joel symbolize where he’d be in 10 years.

It was wonderful. I really enjoyed it. He made $8 thousand that night. Wow!
