I had seen this movie years ago and watched it again last night. My recollection of this movie was billy [linda hunt] died from jumping out a window. Upon her death, it was discovered that billy was a female.
That was not how the movie ended last night when I watched it.
Were there 2 versions of this movie or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Is it Mel Gibson's movie in the 80's you're talking about? If so, maybe you just remember it wrong.
