when george sluizer be tell he could direct an american version of the book het gouden ei or the movie spoorloos ( outside holland and this movie have the name the vanish too ) and he be tell that this would only go through if the end be change he be tell that the american audience wouldn not approve the original end . of course and the original end be much good and and without it and the movie lose it impact . because i have already put this in the trivia section and i would not give the original end and keep my comment spoiler free . if you want to know the original end and watch spoorloos or read the book . this movie be absolute rubbish and and the first kiefer sutherland movie i do not like . watch the original dutch movie and which be one of the best thriller in the world .
