I have to say, I like the theatrical ending much better! This original ending was nice -- especially to see Walt married with two boys of his own. But the theatrical ending, with the son of the Sheik, meeting the "son" of the two legendary brothers -- and finding they were both raised with the same stories -- really wrapped up this movie nicely. "They really lived!" Great ending.

[@glennbrymer4065]

Same same here! Just 72 here. I joined the US Army at 17, retired from said Army at 19, the rest is a series of tall tales, adventure, misfortune, tragedy, world travel, and general fun. Born an Rh baby & grew up in West Texas, got all the dieseses a kid could get and survived them all. Had an old grand daddy, he was much like these 2 characters. Only he was dirt poor. He taught me the basics about life. How to track, trap, and cook things. How to sharpen & use a knife. How to use a child size 22. Pump rifle. I learned to play poker and how to shake a man's hand & how to greet a lady. I listened to his tall tales from his youth and his travels as we sat at his campfire. He taught me a few things about how men should act. He was worn down and only had one eye left and it was bad. He once drove my father's car into the lake trying to drive it. That was a sight! I think of him when I watch this movie. He liked to play his harmonica & drink a little wine. He ended his days herding sheep around Uvalde Texas where he was born. Blessings to you Grandaddy Elliot, where ever you are now. Thank you. I understand now.

'And we shall all know how to perish, Following tradition.' -- 'Le Boudin', the marching anthem of the Legion Etrangere' I think this ending is wonderful. Way back when rocks were soft, I served with a guy in a crappy country down South. When we got out, he had trouble readjusting so one day he sold everything, caught a flight to Paris, partied a couple weeks, sobered up, and joined the Legion. At my last hearing, sometime right before the Millennium, he was a platoon sergeant in the 1er REC. I hope my old war mutt ass passes away as cantankerous and loved Hub and Garth. It's a death worth trying for.

No training, no cohesion, no esprit-de-corps. You'll just be a replacement and probably not even know enough Ukrainian to get on the radio effectively. 2. Then people will start dying. Maybe in your squad. Odds are, as a replacement, you'll get told off for recovery detail... stacking the dead like cordwood in the back of a GAZ. This is not the shit you want in your head, ok?

Additionally there are so many UK/US volunteers they are now folded into their own battalion (aside from SF teams). As for your second point, yeah I get it I just don't like sitting on my ass in the rear while my boys are out there helping people.

There is no reason to feel bad about where you sit right this minute. What you choose to do after your hitch is up is entirely up to you. You're a man and must make a man's choices for a man's reasons. And you're **certainly** not gonna make them to make me happy, right?

I get up early every July 14 just to watch the parade live from Paris, and to see the Legion march to Le Boudin. Because they march at a slower pace they are always the last foot unit.

I've watched this movie so many times since e I saw it orginally at the theater and I rememeber that when it was orginally released it did not have much advertising about it..not like many films that don't hold candle to it....I own a copy but still watch it evetytime it's on my streaming channels....it's like the original Angel's in the Outfield, Field of Dreams and the climate that give hope using humor and down to earth feelings The movie Hope Floats is sort if the same...in the end everything e is well...and we all are wanting that in life.

My favorite movie for many reasons. Thank you for sharing this ending.

I have to admit I like the original ending more, but it was great seeing this version. Secondhand Lions - Big Fish - Field of Dreams. My dad's been gone for many, many years, but these three films still make me cry.

I love this film. I just watched it again two days ago! Thanks for this original ending, but I do love the theatrical ending with the Sheikh's grandson and great-grandson! And the yacht in the pond!!

Without a doubt, one of the best movies ever made. Clean, honest, OLD MEN TEACHING KIDS HOW TO LIVE AND HOW TO DIE.

One of the best movies I've seen in 20 years, so many emotions and laughter.
