The original ending of the movie was different. After the entire scene where Peck kills Arrocases, and wounds Wallace and Raymond taking her to the hospital, Raymond calls his wife Kathy, to tell her to lock the door, fearing that Peck will come after her. Peck, however, manages to sneak into their house, and starts terrorizing her. He makes her take his shoe off and start cleaning his wounded foot, while at the same time, he starts talking to her in very perverse, sexual way. When Raymond finally gets home, Peck is holding Kathy and keeps her mouth covered, so that she can't warn him, and then he gets shot by Peck. As Peck smiles at him, and prepares to kill Kathy, heavily wounded Raymond manages to run at him, crashing both of them out the window and into the swimming pool. Peck tries to drown Raymond, but Raymond manages to get his gun and shoots Peck, killing him, but he almost ends up drowning. Kathy then jumps into the pool and manages to get him out, and after desperate attempts to revive him and screaming at him not to die, he wakes up, vomits and as he does so, Peck's dead body bobs out right next to them. Kathy starts laughing after Raymond revives, and the two of them then hold each other, as the ambulance is heard coming. According to what director Mike Figgis said in his book "Liebestraum", this ending was removed and changed, because it didn't test well with audience during test screening of his original cut of the film. This is why Figgis wrote and filmed a new ending for the final theatrical version. However, several parts of the original ending are shown in theatrical and television trailers of the film, and until this day, remain the only available parts of it.
