The alternate ending in Army of Darkness is how Ash's journey has his end as darker and ironically lighter. Here, Ash consumes an elixir so as to sleep through the ages and awaken in his native time. However, as it often happens in many instances of Ash's foolish nature, he mistakenly measured the potion and, of course, woke up post-apocalypse in a desert, and it was too much bleaker than what people anticipated to watch. The campy tone of the film was embraced with the theatrical ending, as Ash triumphantly returns to his own time and battles Deadites in a department store, giving fans a more satisfying, heroic conclusion.
