Conquest of the Earth is a VHS release, although it was also given a short theatrical release overseas. It contains edited and spliced together versions of "Galactica Discovers Earth" and "The Night the Cylons Landed", with footage from the Original Series.
Notes
- The opening sequence is well-done, although it mostly uses footage from the original series. Adama's opening declaration that Earth has been found is also done better than it was in the original episode.
- There is a clear romance between Jamie and Dillon in this movie that was completely absent from the original Galactica 1980 episodes which the movie is composed of. The scenes in which Jamie declares her love for Dillon are redubbed with the voice of a different actress. These scenes occur from 50:00 to 54:00 and 1:34:00 to 1:35:15.
- Early on, two different voices are used for the actor playing Doctor Zee. There are supposedly two beings existing in one body: Dr. Zee and Dr. Zen. Later on, a different actor portrays Doctor Zee due to using footage from The Night The Cylons Landed.
- Around 1:19:00, there is a funny moment when Centuri threatens to disintegrate Wolfman Jack. This is not in the original episode nor part of any deleted scene. It is exclusive to the movie.
- Another difference is that the Cylon humanoid Andromus tells Wolfman Jack that he and Centuri are federal agents from Washington.
- Numerous scenes from the original episodes are ommitted: The time travel adventure to Nazi Germany; Almost all of Xaviar's scenes; Centuri collapsing because of the microwave oven; the apartment catching fire; the muggers in Central Park confronting Troy and Dillon and then the Cylons; Troy and Dillon dancing on stage with cartoon characters like Yogi Bear; and most of Colonel Briggs's investigation at the police station.
- The blurb on the back of the VHS box reads: Far out in space, the ship Battlestar Galactica has at last found its long sought haven - Earth. Unfortunately, not far behind are their mortal enemies, the Cylons, who are determined to wipe out every Earthling in the Galaxy. The exciting action travels at warp speed through the Galaxies where life-and-death laser battles take place. Lorne Greene stars as Commander Adama in this thrilling space adventure in which the sky is literally the limit. So get ready for flying motorcyles, fabulous costumes and smashing visual effects as the Cylons and the Galacticans battle over the Conquest of the Earth.
