Fanedit details (please add here details about DVD contents as well as video and audio information):
Stereo Audio
Scene Selection Menu
Trailers for this and 8 other fanedits.
Your intention for this fanedit:
To remove most of the "Top Gun meets Melrose Place" aspects and focus the story
more on defeating the coming invation. To move the climax of the film back to on stopping the Kilrathi fleet and not
on saving Deveroux.
Your way to achieve your intention:
Cut out the Mess Hall scenes where pilots are bantering and then fighting.
Remove the sideplots and badly done love story aspects. Mainly removing things that don't contribute to the
main plot of stopping the Kilrathi invasion.
