Why is it in the theatrical version john good man gets killed in the end and in the televised version it happens before? In the theatrical they say there was a massacre at a diner but then they don't show it until the end. Was it because they wanted a sequel ending? Or that they televised ending was weak.

I think the theatrical version had the diner attack at the end as an anti-climax. Of course, when I first watched it way back in the mid 80's on HBO in my early teens (when I wasn't supposed to), I never made the connection to the diner that was destroyed near the climax of the film and the one at the end. I just thought that New York has lots of diners and well, even CHUDS like diners. Besides, how can you NOT like a movie ending like that one where you can hear the CHUDs munching on people over the ending credits?
