Summary: Historically Significant
The original shooting script for BLUE DEVIL was actually completely rewritten towards the beginning of production. The original script called for Blue Devil to be an evil, destructive monster who would wreak havoc on the civilized world once enraged by corrupt American business men, no doubt, who probably would have put him in a zoo. Only the screenwriter knows exactly how it was supposed to play out.
Circumstances, however, allowed the Blue Devil to play the part of the film's hero. By circumstances, we of course refer to the accidental release of a real demon on the set. Luckily, they kept those cameras rollin'. The footage was so perfect that the film's producer/director, Marla Bloom, had a script written to fit the battle sequence between the Blue Devil and this other demon. The cinematographer was later sent back to capture extra footage which would be used to set the scene and wound up getting an entirely new fight on film between the same two characters. That footage was also edited into the final version of the film, which went on to win the Academy Award for special effects.
And the rest is history...
