* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Andrew Kevin Walker's original script was different in several ways from the film:
** Lawrence's brother remains missing until near the end of the third act, and it is this mystery that propels the plot. There's even a red herring in the form of Victor, the gypsy suspected of killing the brother.
** Lawrence doesn't transform for the first time until the London scenes.
** Sir John is portrayed in a much more human fashion, and less over the top.
** Inspector Abberline isn't present at all. In fact, the script is set concurrently with the Ripper killings, and the killer has a run in with the Wolfman during the London rampage.
** The ending is different as well, with Lawrence throwing himself off a cliff so he won't kill Gwen. Of course, [[SequelHook this wouldn't really kill a werewolf...]]
