There is an alternate ending of this movie where Dr. Robert Neville (Will Smith) not only survives, but also learns a very valuable lesson. When the monsters are attacking them, the leader stops and then makes a butterfly with his dirty hands on the window. Neville then sees a butterfly tattoo on the infected woman that he kidnapped to experiment on. He reunites her with the monsters and the leader passionately rubs heads with her and lets out a very pained roar while crying. Neville learns that the monsters may not be human, but have still retained some human emotions and higher brain functions. He tearfully apologies to the leader, who then orders the rest of the infected people to leave them. Neville then breaks down, sitting and looking at the pictures of earlier test subjects that died during his experiments. He then abandons his research and leaves by car, together with Anna (Alice Braga) and Ethan (Charlie Tahan), and the vial of blood containing the cure. This idea was completely edited out of this movie and a new ending put in, where Neville gives the cure to Anna. He then saves her and Ethan by blowing himself and the monsters up with a grenade. Anna and Ethan subsequently leave for Vermont and find the colony. Many people hated this ending, so a version with the alternate ending was released on limited edition DVD sets and the Blu-ray version. Many people prefer the alternate ending over the theatrical ending, believing it gives the plot a moral, and more meaning to the title by having Neville doing something "legendary".
