Someone on here posted the original screenplay of Pretty Woman with the original mental health issues, economic reality and gritty ending. I’m assuming it’s not that version.

I think Indecent Proposal might be the worst film I've ever seen.

Flushed, I think you haven’t seen the 2017 CHiPs movie.

Grin you're right, OneEpisode, I haven't. I have seen Speed 2 Cruise Control though, and that was a close contender Wink

There is so much wrong with Pretty Woman though, I don't even know where to start. I didn't know the original screenplay had been grittier - that's interesting.

Yes, you can find the original plot and it is very different. Long term effects of street work/drugs. In the original, the pretty woman has a higher budget interlude and is then returned back to the streets.

Suzanne Moore has written a good article about this.
