This was more than likely because work started on the game before a completed script was available or any actual filming had taken place. They probably rejigged a few things once they were close to finished with development and had some clips to use.
Maybe, not sure about that because of the level of detail in justifying the random stuff they added.
The spaceport thing in particular makes me think they had the clip with the exploding phone already, and tried to shoehorn more gameplay from it. It’s not a key scene at all in the movie, it lasts literally a few seconds and has absolutely no consequence. (Yeah, an explosion in an airport is basically filler content and is never mentioned again. It’s that kind of movie).
In the same vein, they have a whole level in that airport where Korben has to blast piles of garbage to progress. Technically there are piles of garbage in the movie because of a strike. It’s barely mentioned and has absolutely no incidence on the plot.
