Page 1 of ALIEN QUAD R1 ALEIN EVOLUTION DOCCO CUT!!

I don`t know if anyone knows this:

Just a very depressing bit of news,

on the R1 Alien quad, the C4 Docco with Mark Kermode "ALien Evolution", only has the footage about Alien.

All Other footage concerning Aliens, Alien 3 And Alien Ressurection has been cut, as has all footage with Mark Kermode.

Bummer. Best get a copy of the VHS taped off C4. I figure there`s about 30- 45 mins missing


My DVD Collection

I never saw the C4 broadcast,but the dvd docco is 64 minutes long.Did C4 really show an Alien docco lasting 2 hours?

From what I can figure out , the facts are as follows.

1: The C4 broadcast was 75 mins

2: The Alien quad version is 64 mins.

3: The Alien quad version EXTENDS the Alien interviews to cover the time, eliminating all other Alien film interviews and Mark Kermode

No Mark Kermode :D

haha....he has no luck! all of his stuff was cut out of the exorcist documentary on the dvd aswell.

Was the C4 broadcast 75 mins with or without ads.
Regarding Mark Kermode;the Exorcist documentary was produced when the film was still banned in the UK,and a lot of MK footage about this was irrelevant to the US dvd audience.The UK dvd doco was 25 mins short anyway

Why does no one like Mark Kermode? Ok, from now on I am to be know as Mark Kermodes number one fan.

75mins is the total run time without ads.

see here at nobles gate productions for further info

He`s better than the f***ing Ross bloke who replaced Barry Norman...

UPDATE!

ALIEN EVOLUTION DOCUMENTARY CUTS

nobles gate productions List the Documentary at 75 mins

The Alien Quadrilogy DVD "ALien Evolution" Run time is 64 mins

Now, lets look at the Channel 4 version shown twice on UK television:

The total Channel 4 BROADCAST Run time without ads is: 64 mins

The total run time of Alien footage ONLY is : 34 mins 21 secs

So that means there is officially 29 mins 39 secs CUT

So, in summation,

1: All the Alien interviews are EXTENDED

2: (other than narration at the start of the DOCCO) Mark Kermode is CUT

3: All interviews with Cast/Crew of Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection are CUT

In my opinion The cuts were made for the same reason as the Alien 3 Docco cuts

here is an image to prove that cast from Alien 3 were included

Is this cut on the Region 2 version? Sorry I had to ask... It could be one way Region 2 is better than 1.
