Revealing mistake: The sliding door to the bedroom in Simonson's apartment appears to be covered with a sheet of 'bubble wrap' in early scenes of the room.
Soylent Green (1973)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Richard Fleischer
Starring: Charlton Heston, Joseph Cotten, Edward G. Robinson, Chuck Connors, Leigh Taylor-Young
Thorn figures out the truth that "Soylent Green is made out of people." He makes the police chief agree to tell everyone. The film ends here without knowing whether or not Thorn himself ends up as "soylent green" or whether or not the police chief keeps his word and tells anyone what Thorn has said. The last thing we see is the indigent people carrying Thorn out on a stretcher after being shot in the leg by one of the bad guys.
