Discrepancies and Curiosities - Part 8

Scene 8 - Meet the Family

1. The inter-family dialogue has been trimmed down and altered from the script version to the final cut. For example, in the script, there is dialogue between Rudolph and his parents about the possibility that he could've been staked by Rookery, Freda refers to Gregory as "my little beast", and Gregory has lines (which serve to help illustrate his pro-true-vampirism views and strained relationship with his father).
2. I would've shot a man to see this happen: "Frederick LEVITATES Rookery high through the air and SMASHES him back into the side of his truck. Rookery slides to the ground."
3. Frederick and Freda do not pass Tony between them in the final cut; Frederick has hold of Tony the entire time Tony's in anyone's grasp (mostly so Frederick can prove a point and try to scare some sense into the kid; I wish I could say it worked).
4. Rookery doesn't curse in the final cut (probably because it's a kid's movie, but it's interesting that he is allowed to show other stereotypical signs of eeeeeeeeeevil, such as living in his truck, smoking, kidnapping people...)
5. In the final cut, Tony doesn't take a seat in the crypt, nor does Frederick (or anyone else, for that matter) pick him up again.
6. The vision cuts off before Von turns Elizabeth and hands off the stone, where that detail is included in the script.
