Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesAs part of a pre-release agreement with George Lucas, they were not allowed to show laser beams when they use their blasters. All you see is the weapon lighting and then whatever damage was caused. The only time you see a laser or light trail is when they are in space, the Colonial Vipers and Cylon Raiders.
- PatzerRight before Zac shoots down his first Cylon, they show his joystick. Instead of the normal "Fire/Turbo/IM" labels, it says "Stores/Camera Audio/Camera Pulse".
- Zitate
Cylon Centurion: By your command.
Imperious Leader: Speak, Centurion.
Cylon Centurion: All base ships are now in range to attack the Colonies.
Imperious Leader: The final annihilation of the lifeform known as Man. Let the attack begin.
- Alternative VersionenThere are Three versions of this film: a 2-hour stand-alone movie, a 3-hour pilot episode of a series (cut into 3 episodes for syndication), and a 2-hour telefilm. In the stand-alone movie version, Count Baltar is executed halfway through. This version was actually released theatrically first in Canada some months before the TV version aired in the United States. It was eventually released to theatres worldwide (including the United States). When it became apparent that the series would in fact be made, Baltar's execution scene was re-edited and an extra scene with him was filmed for the end which sets up the series. In the series version, Count Baltar is held for public execution instead of being beheaded immediately. When the Cylon Imperious Leader who ordered his execution is killed in the explosion of the planet Carillon, his successor orders Baltar's release so Baltar can take command of a Cylon Basestar that will chase the human refugees throughout the series. All this information is given in an "Epilogue" tacked on at the ending. The telefilm version of the film consists of a cut down version of the series 3-hour premiere episode with added scene. There was a total of 12 telefilms made from the series. These 12 telefilms were shown in local markets most of which was in the afternoon rotated with Godzilla, Gamera, and other films.
- VerbindungenEdited from Kampfstern Galactica (1978)
That would have been a novel idea for a theatrical movie, and for a TV show it was outer limits. The special effects were (by 1978 standards) top notch, the set design was good, and they even tried to create a different system of measures, since I think even in Star Trek they refer to things by minutes, hours, and years.
What let the movie (and later series) down was the same limits that affected most of seventies television. Schlocky dialogue, storylines sticking on personal and relationship problems, and somebody had the bright idea to put in a kid and a robot dog to go with him. If the series had been made today, or had simply been let free to explore ideas rather than stick to the "conventions" expected of series television, it might have been great. Instead, it's hardly remembered today.
