In addition, Michael's line "He's gone?" is poorly dubbed in over his original line "He's dead?" if you listen carefully, you can hear both clips of "He's dead" and "He's gone" play at the same time. The new ending was shot incompetently Eric's unconscious (dead) body was added as a cutout, which clashes horribly with the film.In that ending, a cop accidentally shot Eric dead, which makes more sense than having him killed by the explosion, but is far more disturbing.
