Question

How does the film 'The Butterfly Effect' end? I was told Evan not being born was an alternate ending?

Answer 1

I cant rmember lol, but what i can was this was a sick film, so wierd

Answer 2

Wierd im just after watching that movie.he goes back to when hes at kaylaighs hhouse and whispers in her ear 'stay away from me or il kill you and your family' (somthing ike that anyway.then she runs over to her mum i assume sh goes and lives with her.then in the future they pass eachother in th street she stops and looks back while at the same time he stops then he looks back but by that time she has turn back around.   I never heard of the othe ending though tought there was only one.

Answer 3

well the idea is if hes not born ,all the dramas that unfold cant occur...so after alot of travelling through [mind?whatever you call it]time...he goes back to his own birth and allows himself to die rather than survive ...to prevent all the bad the girl he loves later goes through....how i always saw it ...not really as an alternative ....that'd imply they left it open for him to return and in number 2 he doesnt !

Answer 4

Evan not being born was the alternate ending.  The theatrical ending was him fighting with the girl at the party where they met so that they weren't friends and they grew up not knowing each other.  At the end, they pass each other at the street in the city, both in fine shape, and sort of look back like they might know each other, but keep going.

Answer 5

u know thats funny i just watched that! it ends with even telling kahley (when they are like 7) to never speak to him or look at him again. then he goes back to his life when he is in college and everything is normal! then eight years later he see's her walking on the street and they both stop then kahley looks at even and then walks away, then even looks at kahley then walks away. and that is the end!!  

Answer 6

There are two different endings to this film one is Evan not being born yes and the other is the girl goes to live with her mother and when they are older they bump into each other in the city while both on their mobiles and kinda walk past each other looking back as is to say they know each other if you get what I mean.

Answer 7

I have seen 2 endings.  In one, Evan goes back to the moments before his birth and kills himself by squeezing the umbilical cord and suffocating.  In the other ending, Evan goes back to when the party when they were kids.  He says something mean to the little girl, so that she gets upset and wants to go with her mom.  She ends up living happily with her mother and doesn't know Evan.

Answer 8

I have only seen one ending of this film and it was that Evan was never born.  I never bothered watching the other ending on the DVD, but him not being born was the ending that was on the main feature of the DVD I have.

Answer 9

The alternate ending was on the DVD. I believe they showed the ending where he goes back to his birthday party in theatres.

Answer 10

ya this ending is my favorite one. if you remember, kutcher's mother kept having miscarriages. kutcher keeps going back to try to help his girlfriend. eventually he realizes the only way to help her is for him to never have existed, so he warps back into his mother's womb, and strangles himself with his umbilical chord. another miscarriage.
