Philippe Roaché looking at Nick take the sample at the start of the movie - in the screenplay, he is standing in the background mysteriously, and Nick notices him only towards the end. In the movie, this is a casual moment that is not played up at all.
Audrey throwing the bag at Caiman - she just tosses it without the middle finger as the elevator closes. In the book, she flips him off.
The pectoral fins not big enough in Godzilla, in the screenplay, these fins were wings that did not fully grow, and could be flapped.
Dude guy in the bedroom does not show up at all. This is a random guy from the street who flashes the peace sign at Animal, while he is consoling Audrey.
Elvis Presley movies is where Roaché gets his flawless southern accent from, a scene which seems to have been cut from the movie.
The names of the submarines are changed for some reason.
There are large, squirming parasites on eggs which have been left out. Godzilla has apparently been infected with a mutation.
Smell like the fish is not in the screenplay, but included in the movie.
Nick presses a bunch of lift buttons by accident, while escaping from the babbyzillas, but this is shown in a slightly different way in the movie.
There is a scene where the Frenchies complain about the butter, but Roaché investigates the wrapper and notices that it is actually from France - this would have been a nice ending to the repeated gag of the French finding the Amurican food disgusting.
The scene of Godzila being trapped in the bridge has been simplified.
There is a really cool sequence in the end where Philipe Roaché is exposed as a French agent, and he writes to Nick, informing him that it is safe to talk now.
Considering the changes and tweaks, looks like even if you enjoyed the movie, the original screenplay is always better.
