Everyone has their own idea of what's romantic, and that applies to movie endings, too. As the screenwriter of the 1993 film "True Romance," Quentin Tarantino liked the idea of tragic romance, which has been a pretty consistent thread throughout his career. (Name one non-tragic Tarantino romance. I'll wait.) The director of "True Romance," Tony Scott, saw things a bit differently, and wanted to give this violent, dramatic romantic tale a happy ending. In an interview with IndieWire back in 2012, Tarantino reminisced about the original ending that he wrote into the script for runaway lovers Clarence (Christian Slater) and Alabama (Patricia Arquette), and explained his theory on why exactly Scott and uncredited script co-writer Roger Avary changed it. 

"True Romance" is one of my favorite movies, a gritty and bloody romance between a nerdy cinephile who works in a comic book store and the brand-new working girl who falls in love...
