Comparison between the Director`s Edition DVD (RC 1) from Paramount (PG, NTSC) and the Theatrical Version.
The Director`s Edition is the Director`s Cut of the movie but cut differently than the ABC-TV version. The Director`s Edition contains numerous additional scenes as well as extended and alternative shots deepening the character's relationships. Violence was not extended. Duration of the changed and additional scenes: ca. 243,5 Sek. (NTSC)
The glasses (0:09:58)
McCoy gives Kirk a pair of glasses for his birthday. In the DC McCoy talks about the glasses: McCoy: "They`re 400 years old. You don`t find many with the lenses intact." Kirk: "What is it?" McCoy: "They`re for your eyes!" 8 Sec. The next sentence is identical to the Theatrical Version but the word "recommend" has been replaced by "administer". 0,5 Sec. The engine room (0:28:29) The following scene is missing: Kirk approaches Preston and stands beside him. Preston: "I believe,you`ll find everything shipshape, Admiral." Kirk: "Oh, do you? Do you have any idea, Midshipman Preston, how many times I`ve had to listen to Mr. Scott on the comm telling me his trouble? Do you have any idea the ribbing I`ve had to endure in the officer`s mess to the effect that the Enterprise is a flying deathtrap?" Preston: "Oh, no Sir!This is the finest engine room in the whole starfleet! But if the admiral can`t see the facts by himself, then with all due respect, he`s as blind as a tiberian bat!" Scotty clears his throat as he is visibly embarassed. Preston: "Sir!" Kirk: "Midshipman, you`re a tiger!" Scotty: "My sister`s youngest, Admiral. Crazy to get to space." Kirk: "Every young man`s fantasy. I seem to remember it myself." Now the Theatrical Version continues: Kirk: "Well Mr. Scott, are your engines capable of handling a minor training cruise?" 50 Sec. Chekovs sham (0:34:10) Under Khans influence Chekov contacts Regula I and demands they hand over Genesis. David Marcus: "Commander Chekov, this is completely irregular!" The DC continues: Dr. Carol Marcus: "Who gave the order?" Chekov: "The order comes from Starfleet Command, Dr. Marcus, direct from the general staff." David Marcus: "It`s a civilian..." Dr. Carol Marcus (interrupts her son): "Listen, Genesis is a civilian project under my control!" Then the Theatrical Version continues: Chekov: "I have my orders!" 17 Sec. Departure to Regula I (0:38:25) After the scientists fought over what to do now and what this is all about Carol orders Marcus to leave the station: Dr. Carol Marcus: "Well, get your gear together!" Scientist: "Where are we going?" Dr. Carol Marcus: "That`s for us to know and Reliant to find out." In the next shot we see Kirk approaching Spocks quarters. 13 Sec. The Genesis prolect (0:47:03) McCoy and Spock argue about what would happen if Genesis would fall into the wrong hands: Spock: "I do not dispute, that in the wrong hands..." McCoy (interrupts Spock): "In the wrong hands??? Would you mind telling me whose are the right hands, my logical friend?" (walks towards the camera) "Are you, by any chance, in favor of these experiments?" - Kirk (interrupts): "Gentlemen, this isn`t..." The Theatrical Version continues: Spock: "Really, Doctor McCoy, you must learn to govern your passions!" 18 Sec. Prestons death (0:58:14) In the DC, Preston dies in a close up, not in a long shot like in the Theatrical Version. He says "Aye" and dies. Then the DC continues: Scotty sobs "Why?" and Kirk answers "He wants to kill me for sentence for passing 15 years ago. And he doesn`t care who stands between him and his vengeance." McCoy: "I`m sorry, Scotty!" (This comes later in the Theatrical Version) 46 Sec. The hospital ward (0:59:20) A bit of dialogue has been added: Kirk: "Scotty I have to ask. Is there any chance of getting the mains back on the line?" Scotty: "I do not think so, Sir, but you`ll have my best. Thanks, I know you tried Doctor." Scotty geht, Kirk spricht mit Pille: Kirk: "You alright?" Pille: "I dont`T know. Doctors lose patients somestimes. Damn it, I`m still in the dark! How did he know about Genesis?" Kirk: "I don`t know. But what`s important now is to prevent him from getting his hands on it. You said it yourself, it`s a bang that could rearrange the universe." Pille: "There still my be time. You gave as good as you got." Kirk: "We`re alive, cause I knew something about these ships that he didn`t." 65 Sec. In the funnel (1:21:04) A scene in which Kirk, Spock and Saavik are crawling through a funnel to the upper deck has been added. Kirk: "That young man, he`s my son." Spock: "Fascinating!" 10 Sec. Spock and Saavik (1:24:16) Dialogue between Spock and Saavik after the torpedo from the Reliant has missed the Enterprise. Saavik to Kirk: "Admiral, what happens if Reliant fails to follow us into the nebula?" Spock: "I think we can guarantee that she`ll follow us, Lieutenant. Remind me to explain to you the concept of the human ego." Kirk: "Best speed, Scotty!" 16 Sec. |
