One of the last scenes in the film, with Andre on the airplane, was filmed several months after the initial completion of the film. The scene was added because test audiences reacted badly to Erin standing-up Andre at the end of the film. The intention of the scene was to show that Andre was not a nice guy (as he had been throughout the film) and remove any sympathy viewers had for him. The fact that this scene was filmed so much later also explains why Andres hair is significantly different in that scene than in the rest of the film.

as Benson the butler. In the first, the Monster is standing just behind the other, who is holding a tray bearing a plate of chicken.
