The PG-13 version was compared to the Director's Cut.
 

Two versions of Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver

After his defeat by Kora, the body of Atticus Noble is recovered. The Empire's technicians are able to bring him back to life. The regent Balisarius orders Atticus to bring Kora to him. Meanwhile, Kora, Gunnar and the warriors they have hired have returned to Veldt, but soon receive word that the Empire's warship still wants to pick up the grain delivery. The warriors prepare for the impending attack...

Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver ties in directly with the events of its predecessor. If you have "survived" the first half of the film, which is mainly about the work in the field and each of the characters is allowed to tell their background story, you will be rewarded with a thoroughly opulent battle. In terms of plot, the film is as thin as its predecessor, but the show is enormous.

As with the first part, Rebel Moon Part 1: Child of Fire, Zack Snyder created a director's cut of Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver. The relevant changes can be summarized as follows:

• Three bounty hunters are watching Kora and the warriors during their preparations. When they want to notify the empire, they are killed by Jimmy. This was already hinted at the end of the first part, because you only see in the DC, as the bounty hunters follow Kora and the others to their village.
• The Director's Cut shows more sex and nude scenes. Noteworthy is a nearly three-and-a-half-minute sex scene between Kora and Gunnar. In addition, you can see how Tarak gets together with an older villager.
• As with the predecessor, Kora's backstory is further developed. In a conversation with Balisarius, the latter makes it clear that the royal family must be wiped out, otherwise he and Kora will fall victim to the Purge.
• The Director's Cut is much bloodier. Thanks to CGI, blood is splattered everywhere, body parts are severed, and heads are blown off. Some of this are scene extensions, but existing scenes have often simply been digitally reworked.
• The love between Sam and Aris is further developed in the Director's Cut. She asks him if he will stay with her when the battle is over.
• Kora's fight on the King's Gaze is much longer. She enters the control center of the cannon, kills the soldiers and turns the cannon on the command center, which is destroyed as a result. Atticus goes down first and kills Cassius, who wanted to flee with him.
• In a new scene in the DC, the machine of the King's Gaze comes to life and forgives Kora for her deed. She also talks about sisters of hers awakening, which may be taken up in further parts.
• The ending is extended. A young farmer sings the song “The Land we Breath”. Then you see how Balisarius learns of the defeat before he steps in front of a large number of soldiers.

There are also many other extensions, most of which are not very significant. In some places, scenes are only extended by a few frames. This is not listed in the report.

Without question, the Director's Cut is much more fun than the PG-13 version, as it offers much more to see. Sometimes you are surprised by a never-ending soft-sex scene, sometimes a robot with antlers chops its way through its opponents.

Running times:

PG-13: 123:54 min.
Director's Cut: 173:02 min.

The PG-13 fades from the Stone Quarry logo to outer space. Jimmy explains that on the edge of the Motherworld's sphere of influence lies the small moon of Veldt. A group of farmers live a modest life there until a warship appears. Commander Atticus demanded more than the farmers could give. So a woman named Kora and a man named Gunnar went to find warriors to defend them. So far, they have joined forces with Tarak, Nemesis, Titus, Darrian Bloodaxe and Milius. Kora was able to defeat Atticus in an ambush and left his destroyed body behind. The victorious warriors have returned to Veldt to claim their reward. They thought that the threat was over. During the narration, the film title appears and the camera pans to a spaceship. Cassius walks into a room.

She says that the king should have destroyed both Balisarius and her, but despite his anger, the king considered Balisarius his son. We see the king extend his arm, and Balisarius reluctantly kiss the king's hand. Because of his sin, Balisarius was made a senator. Balisarius gives a speech before a cheering crowd. Kora explains that he has now found his true calling. During the speech, the king seems very nervous.

At a garden party, Balisarius approaches Kora. He tells her that the king plans to abdicate and hand over the kingdom to the princess. He also wants to have the generals executed. Issa looked him in the eye and forgave him, but he has to set things right. Kora says that Issa will rule with reason and wisdom. Balisarius agrees with her, but as soon as the cleansing begins, he and she will be the first victims. Balisarius will not allow this. Kora asks what they can do.
