Actually I've seen it explained. The original script had a rather grim ending. Lee Marvin didn't like it, so they rewrote the ending to be more easygoing. The director didn't like it and edited a new ending which is the one that was shown in the theaters. The original filmed ending is the alternate one on the video, and has an unfinished sound track. The original grim script ending was never filmed.
