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 was not in the original episode.
- 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; Centuri collapsing because of the microwave oven; the apartment catching fire; the muggers in Central Park confronting Troy and Dillon and the Cylons; Troy and Dillon dancing on stage with cartoon characters like Yogi Bear; and most of the Colonel's investigation at the police station.
