Alternate Endings
The original North American theatrical and VHS release of the film features a close-up of Sherman as the gate explodes, followed by a shot of the sun rising over clouds.
The International theatrical release features a much wider shot of the gate's explosion, followed by a wormhole / time portal effect. The scene then dissolves into an underwater shot of the two main characters swimming from above, followed by a view of the characters in a nude, Eden-esque embrace.
The 1999 North American DVD release contains the International version of the ending. The simpler North American version can also be found on the DVD as a bonus feature on the last page of the Production Notes.

Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or endings:
“Germany is a queer country: one can’t regard it dispassionately. I alternate between hating it thoroughly, stick, stock and stone, and yearning over it fit to break my heart. I can’t help feeling it a young and adorable country—adolescent—with the faults of adolescence.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Life is not so much about beginnings and endings as it is about going on and on and on. It is about muddling through the middle.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
