Discrepancies and Curiosities - Part 3

Scene 3 - "You're Human!"

  1. Aside from the differing transitions from script to screen, the Tony-attacking-the-bear scene plays out somewhat differently: we don't see anything from the bat's perspective in the final cut, nor does Rookery park outside the castle waiting for bat!Rudolph (or any other form of Rudolph) to appear. Also, IFC, Tony makes sure Rudolph is in his view before Rudolph utters a syllable, or pops his nose back into proper human form, for that matter. Also, the teddy bear is left where Tony finished playing with it after he was so rudely interrupted, and just a lot of placing and timing discrepancies from script to final cut. It's also interesting to note that the script mentions a thing called "vampire chatter", as if it's a vampire's secret language, a hold-over from their time as bats. This is never heard in the movie (to my knowledge) but I think it would've been quite interesting.
That's the only major discrepancy/curiosity from scene three (it's actually a series of small but interrelated things). Thus far, though, both script and screen have managed to convey the same messages and get the story to the same places. So far, so good.
