Writer and director Terry Gilliam had trouble with studio producers over the dark ending he wanted on the movie. The producers wanted a "happy Hollywood" movie, which eliminated (amongst other things) the final transition and a critical line of dialogue that revealed the tragic fate of Jill Layton (Kim Greist). These changes were made, and this "butchered" version was shown on U.S. television at least once. Gilliam threatened to disown the movie, and consequently the cinematic release, and all videotape versions show the movie essentially as he intended it to be seen (although the U.S. cinematic release still omitted the line about Jill).
