Several scenes in the various teasers and trailers were cut from the actual release. Examples of this were: John Lithgow played the part of Harry Zel, a movie agent that Harris contacts after being fired. The part was cut, but there are still references to his character in this movie: during the freeway shoot-out, and in the "California Cuisine" luncheon. Scott Bakula's role as Harris' boxer neighbor was filmed, but cut. Scenes where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) is told that "skipping is the perfect compromise", and where Harris skips across the street were shown in trailers, but not in the movie. In the first draft of the script, it was revealed that the signs could interact with people, because an alien, disguised as a repair man, tampered with it. The role of the alien was written with Jon Pertwee in mind, he couldn't accept it, due to failing health. The script was quickly re-written, and the alien was written out.
