Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: No tabloid reporter could ever get away with falsely accusing someone of sexual assault in a televised news show--particularly not if they were never formally charged. In RealLife, this would lead to a libel lawsuit (and considering Deeds' "victim" could easily vouch for his innocence, he'd almost certainly win).

Added DiffLines:

* NotHisSled: Instead of having Deeds declared legally insane, Cedar's plan is to get rich by selling Deeds' great-uncle's company, leaving the employees jobless. So instead of climaxing in a courtroom scene, the film climaxes in a shareholders' meeting where Deeds shows up to convince the shareholders not to go through with it. [[spoiler:He also beats Cedar by proving that his butler is actually his great-uncle's illegitimate son, making him the real heir.]]

* FakeDangerGambit: Tabloid journalist Babe Bennett pretends to be a DamselInDistress, getting mugged in order to meet Deeds and dig up dirt on him. Deeds, quite unaware that he's being tricked into a staged RescueRomance, chases Babe's attacker down the sidewalk, shoves him over a trashcan and then uses it as a bludgeoning weapon. Babe cringes sympathetically before settling on punching him about a dozen times.
