OK, just what ARE the endings, anyway?  I think a list from someone who has
seen the movie more recently than I would be a Good Thing To Have.  However,
if memory serves, after Sam is strapped into the chair in the torture chamber,
he imagines the rescue sequence; this is proved at the end of the film when he
is shown driting into the clouds still in the chair - and the way Jack and
Mr. Whasisface are looking at him, "over" the "house in the valley" shot.
