I found a script for the first movie online that had a few differences from the movie. Walter was called Pham Vam and there was a character called Viola, an old lady who lived in Perfection. Why were these changes made?

In that draft, the owner of the store was a Vietnamese immigrant. When we got the opportunity to cast well-known actor, Victor Wong, we went for it.  Since Victor was Chinese American, he asked if we’d change the character name to Chinese, which were were happy to do.

Neither Brent Maddock nor S. S. Wilson remember writing the character of Viola, but other fans have asked about here.  We’ve been unable to find those early drafts of the script.  We must’ve dumped them many years ago.  Mostly likely she was cut in order to help hit our low budget.  Even the character of Mindy was cut for a while, but the studio relented and let us put her back in.
