[Darius]

Well me and my friend bought evil dead army of darkness and watched over in my house the ending was that ash drinks 3 drops of that potion they made using necronomicon and he slept for too long as he awaked after apocalypse.then we wanted to see army of darkness again so we decided to go over my friends house and watch his dvd and ending was that ash awakes in present days and he tells that story to a guy in s-mart and a zombie pops out and ash starts shooting at it and bla bla bla.so witch ending is the originall ending to army of darkness?

Hey.. thats a good question -

i like more the BAD ending. .tought..

anyway-- here is the answer

Endings
There are two different endings for Army Of Darkness :

In the theatrical ending, Ash is sent back to the present, but finds a Deadite terrorizing shoppers at S-Mart, where he works. Ash defeats the Deadite in his classic style, and the film ends with Ash saying, "Hail to the king, baby", and kissing a co-worker.
In the Director's Cut, Ash gets distracted and accidentally drinks one too many drops of the sleeping formula, each drop making him sleep for approximately a century. Waking up to find himself in a post-apocalyptic England, he screams "I slept too long!" as the screen goes black, and he is heard laughing maniacally before the credits roll.

"When test audiences didn't approve of Raimi's original cut, he cut the film down to the International cut that now exists on DVD. When it was again rejected by Universal, Raimi was forced to edit it again to the U.S. Theatrical version. The original cut had an opening that was more in tune with the Evil Dead series (included as a deleted scene on Anchor Bay's Director's Cut DVD)[6].

The MGM Hong Kong Region 3 DVD edits together the U.S. Theatrical, European, and Director's cuts into a final, 96-minute cut of the film. The film is digitally re-mastered, compiled from original source prints (not from VHS sources as the Anchor Bay Entertainment releases are).[7]"

maybe- cause - was kind of funny - as the character of ASH IS-- so funny ending - funny ash - work...etc.

as a final note - raimi -got a HARD TIME.. TROUGHT ALL of the evil dead series - due to censorship - for gore and blood - on evil dead - and legal issues also

EVIL DEAD -
"The film was extremely controversial for its graphic violence and gore, being initially turned down by almost all U.S. distributors, until a European company picked it up. It premiered on October 15, 1981 to moderate box office receipts, grossing $2,400,000, considering its $375,000 budget and mixed critical reaction[citation needed]. Today, it is widely accepted by critics and audiences alike as a classic of the horror genre and has a worldwide cult following."

EVIL DEAD 2
"Evil Dead II is not a remake of the first movie and was never intended to be. For legal reasons, Sam Raimi couldn't use footage from the first movie in order to make a recap at the beginning, to let the audience know what had happened in The Evil Dead that lead to the events of Evil Dead II. So he had to reshoot some key-scenes from the first, with a simplified plot and a different actress impersonating Ash's girlfriend. For example, in the first movie, Ash and his friends are going to the cabin in the woods, but at the beginning of Evil Dead II, it is only him and his girlfriend. However, after the 10 to 15 first minutes, Evil Dead II really kicks in and is really a continuation of the first"

well there ya go:)

original was too much of a downer so they shot the hero one.

[jackskellington]

I prefered the "hero" ending. It showed off Bruce's dry sense of humor again which is something I always enjoy. The apocolyptic ending was just a downer. An excellent sequel could be written either way, though!

[dead and loving it]

I like the hero ending too, but I would love to have seen a sequel with Ash in the future.

[Slumlord]

Yeah, I bought that "Official bootleg edition" one and was like "what's this?" I'm just gonna grab the theatrical version because I just dig that one.

[Corpse Grinder]

I like the hero ending, too. Plus, you have Bridget Fonda in it, yum!

[Darius]

you can make a sequal out of both endings.
