Review of Copycat (1995) by Appendage7 — 15 Jan 2020
An early version of the script had a vastly different finale. Peter Foley would capture Helen and hold her in the university where he reveals that he was a disgruntled former student of hers. This final scene would take place in an auditorium where Foley would give a lecture to Helen (complete with a slide projector) therefore reciprocating the opening sequence.
This ending was meant to give more personal motives for Peter to specifically target Helen. Although this climax was scrapped there is still a trace of this abandoned subplot. In the beginning of the film Helen needs some young volunteers for her lecture to stand up for the audience to see.
Peter Foley appears among the crowd, hinting that he could possibly be a former student of the lecturer.
