Was there an alternate ending to the movie "Don't Be a Menace..."?

Am I crazy or was there a slightly different ending to the hood movie parody "Don't Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" when it was shown in theaters? I can't remember what it was but at the end, right around the part "grandma" busted out with the 'Dead Presidents' makeup on, guns blazing - something else happened instead. Anybody remember this? The DVD I've watched and Google seem to have no traces of it.

Best answer: IMDB has a section where the list alternative versions of movies. I haven't seen that movie in a long time, but this page seems to indicate that you're right.

Response by poster: Wow, how did I miss that. Now maybe I can figure out how to see this other version.

Best answer: Amazon appears to have it. I'm ordering it. One of my all time favorites.

Response by poster: The answer is, the unrated alternate scenes aren't on the dvd like they normally would be, in their own sections. To get to that content, you go to "scene selections" and then there are some scenes throughout that are labeled "unrated". Jeez. I feel dumb for not figuring it out before, but the DVD is also designed pretty poorly.
