Comparison between the TV broadcast on German TV station Nitro on 25.04.2019 (16:45 / international HD master) and the German DVD (featuring the original version) by Kinowelt (FSK 12)

- 16 differences
- No runtime difference

 

In the comparison of the pilot episode, we have already summarized everything about the problems with the HD remastering of Baywatch, which is different in songs and also censored in nude scenes, at least right at the beginning.

Episode 1x20 (Shark Derby) offers, as easily recognizable by the title, shark attacks on the beach. Various underwater shots of the animals were given a makeover or were replaced by more modern archive shots. As with so many episodes, however, this is only an effort for the author of this comparison, for the viewer it is rather insignificant.

Two last remarks:
* The episodes were dubbed in NTSC speed and are also included on the German DVDs, although they are otherwise of course PAL standard. With Nitro, on the other hand, the episodes run at true PAL speed, which explains the even shorter running time.
* It should also be noted that we will not list the exchanged songs in detail.

Runtimes are ordered as follows: Nitro HD at PAL speed / FSK 12 DVD at NTSC speed

As usual, the opening credits deviate and the credits afterwards were also revised. Not included in cut duration/quantity.

HD version 28.9 sec longer

23:05-23:08 / 23:33-23:36

Strangely enough, the shot of the diving Jill runs a bit faster in the HD master and then ends up being a bit longer at the end, so that the runtime is balanced out again.
