When „Nochnoi Dozor“ was released in Russia in 2004, it was a real zinger. Not only that it was the first time a Russian movie contained Hollywood-like special effects, but also the many fans of Sergei Lukianenko's bestseller were looking forward to it. Due to the First Channel's (ORT) expensive promotion, the Russians became aware of being capable of shooting their own blockbusters and not worrying about the competitors from abroad. As a result of that, the Russian movie industry got cranked up. Nowadays, domestic productions like the two "Dozor" movies (the second one was in Russian theaters in January 2006) and other movies like "Turetsky Gambit" and "9-ya Rota" reach the top at the Russian box office.
Being so successful, it was only a matter of time until a Hollywood mayor indicated interest. Speaking of the Dozor movies, it was Fox Searchlight (a Arthouse dependence by 20th Century Fox) who bought the rights. Not only that the movies have been released worldwide, part 3 is going to be shot in the US, again with director Timur Bekmambetov. Part 1 has been modified for the worldwide release. The prolog is extended and contains more information about "the others" now and some scenes have been redubbed to make the entire "the others" concept simpler to understand. Furthermore Anton has become a "seer" in the International Version and some CG visions have been added as well. Nevertheless the missing scenes from the Russian Version are recognizable in most cases. Two subplots have been entirely removed to tighten the plot and reduce the amount of characters. Apart from that some scenes have been edited, a couple of explaining flashbacks have been added to be exact. The other differences are more or less redundant, a lot of short scenes are missing etc. In oppposite to many maintenances, the existing special effects haven't been increased. The Russian Version is available as Import on DVD, e.g. here.
The following comparison is based on the Russian DVD (Pervaya Videokompaniya) and the German DVD (FOX). The dialogs have been compared in Russian to determine the differences. The corresponding quotes have been taken from the German dub, the quotes from the Russian Version have been translated one by one into German to compare. A lot of dialogs have been converted to reported speech, but for some quotes it seemed more appropiate to translate them one by one from German into English, because it would be too confusing to convert it into reported speech. That's why the exact words might be different in the original English version. Sorry for that. Running time Russian Version: 1:56:49 credits included, 1:51:15 (from the first screen of the prolog until the black screen before the credits at the end) Running time International Version: 1:49:40 credits included, 1:42:43 (from the first screen of the prolog until the black screen before the credits at the end) Unterschied: 0:08:32 There are 91 differences in total, among them 10 bigger dialog differences with the same footage (well, almost the same). Scene 1 Dialog modification
0:00:00 min (Time index Internattional Version) 0:00:00 min (Time index Russian Version) Russian Version: The Channel One Russia, Tabbak Filmcomany and Bazelevs Productions credits. The prolog of the Russian Version is shorter and more cryptic: "Since the beginning of the time, the knights, who call themselves "Warriors of Light", catch witches and wicked wizards, who scourge mankind. But one day, the Warriors of Light obstruct the Warriors of Darkness. And nobody wanted to vanish. And a battle started, bloody and merciless. And when the battle reached heaven, the great Geser saw both sides being equipollent. And if the battle doesn't stop, everybody will be destroyed. And he stopped the battle. And so the forces of light and the forces of darkness declared armistice. And it was said from now neither good nor evil may be performed with permission. And it was said there will be day keepers to watch the forces of light. And it was said there will be night keepers to watch the forces of darkness. But in 1000 years, a huge "other" will come to rule the evil side. And then the world will fall into darkness." International Version: First the FOX Searchlight logo. The credits contains the (German) title )"Wächter der Nacht"), which appears later in the Russian Version. Furthermore the International Version contains a Russian prolog text transforming into a German text. The Russian Version contains nothing like that. The prolog is much more detailed in the International Version: "Since the dawn of mankind, there are "others" among us. They are also humans but with extraordinary skills. Witches, wizards, shapeshifter - their variety is as huge as the stars in the sky. The others are soldiers in the eternal war between the darkness and the light. The warriors of light protect mankind from the warriors of darkness, who torture humans. The legend says both armies encountered on a bridge on day. Geser, lord of light, and Zavulon, General of darkness, faced each other. And neither of them wanted to yield. And a big battle began, bloody and merciless. Zavulon delighted in the bloodbath. But Geser wept. And when the screams of the dying arised to heaven, Geser realized both armies were equal. And if nobody stopped the battle everything would perish. And so he ended the battle. And the forces of light and darkness concluded an armistice. Geser spoke for the light, Zavulon for the darkness. And the following was agreed: every human should be able to choose between light and darkness. The warriors of light should be called "Night keeper" and make sure the dark others stick to the agreement. And the warriors of darkness should be called "Day Keeper" and do the same. And so the balance should be assured for centuries. But one day, one of the others would come, more powerful than anyone before. Like all others, he had to choose between light and darkness, and his decision would change the balance forever." Difference: 34 sec (The International Version is longer)
