Point of Interest (July 8, 1999)

[Bandit LOAF]

Interesting difference between the DVD and VHS versions of Wing Commander. At the beginning of chapter 16 of the DVD version you'll find the line "Security check, Alpha 2. Nothing to report in this quadrant. Everything looks A-OK. Wait, what the? {Explosion} Picking up three bogies, Kilrathi fighters. Tiger's Claw, this is Alpha Leader. I've got three, no, six bogies. I say again, six... mayday, mayday!" (The voice belongs to Dan's Wing Commander Movie Site's Dan Finkelstein, BTW). In the VHS rental version, however, the line is barely audible and possibly cut down... which makes the following scene where Gerald comments on radio silence being broken seem rather unusual.
