Blade Runner (1982)

The 1982 sci-fi classic, Blade Runner, was shown with two endings. In addition to the ending many saw in later iterations of the film's release, with Decker (Harrison Ford) leaving in an elevator with replicant Rachel (Sean Young), financiers for the film were worried audiences wouldn't understand the complex and deeper meaning, so they had an alternate ending made. That ending showed scenes of Decker and Rachel driving in the country spliced with aerial shots of a lush landscape (which were actually leftover shots from Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film The Shining). It also had a terrible voice-over from Ford that would make anyone cringe.
