Awesome show - but they missed the greatest ending ever!!

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2005)

This was a great movie, and Denzel made it that much better. So many action heroes have gone on "revenge rampages", but Denzel just adds so much character, so much emotion to this part (like most of his parts) that we anticipate and relish his bloody redemptions one dirty cop at a time.
One of the best endings in this genre's entire history was right there, in hand - but they missed it!! Maybe they can re-shoot the one scene - I know I'll buy a DVD if they do!
_________________________HUGE SPOILER coming_________________________________________
At the very end, when Creasy (Denzel) gets into the car with the kidnappers, and the young girl gets out and runs over the bridge to her mother, we all know Creasy is making the ultimate sacrifice - trading his life for the Young girl's safe return to her mother. We also know he's bleeding to death from a gunshot wound.
What he SHOULD have done is this: told the mother to wait ten minutes after he got in the car with the kidnappers and then PAGE HIM - which would of course been the detonation signal for the massive amount of plastique crammed into his rear end. Then in the final scene inside the car just before the explosion, Denzel could have delivered perhaps the ultimate one-liner EVER to let them all know what was about to happen!
Any other suggestions?
"Hasta la vista, baby!"
"Get ready for a surprise!"
