* AmbiguousEnding: the ending has Detective Dewey Wilson destroy the model for the new development, signifying to the Wolfen that they are no longer under imminent threat of the destruction of their habitat. The Wolfen spare him and Rebecca but are then forced to flee the scene as the police arrive en masse and open fire upon them. They survive but their future is left uncertain as the authorities are now well aware of their existence and they cannot turn back the tide of human encroachment forever (signified by their disappearance in the end scene as they are literally brought into the light of day).



* KarmaHoudini: The original novel ends with the detectives presenting positive proof of the existence of the Wolfen and the city getting ready to hunt them. In the movie, there is no evidence so the detectives are forced to lie that it was terrorists, allowing the Wolfen to run free.

In the movie, there is no evidence so the detectives are forced to lie that it was terrorists, allowing the Wolfen to run free. Yet the testimony of other police officers responding to the final scene and forensic evidence the Wolfen have left means that their existence is incontrovertible and they are essentially doomed, signified by their disappearance as they race back to their lair.
