Blood for the Baron!

Kubrick loved to butcher films look at his Shining actually no don't read it instead

Good special effects even by todays standards, but too slow paced, space gate goes on far too long..i know people like to watch that part whilst under the influence of"subtances", but the novel really explains it all perfectly.

I think Kubrick got so "into" his films that he just forgot about the audience trying to watch the things..sort of "Well I know what's going on..so should everyone else"

no its not in the film

don't worry Baron, the scene from ROTF is not in the movie.

novel writers frequently embellish the scripts to flesh it out to a reasonable length for a novel. they'll also some times correct things to make the plot more coherent and sometime they're working from a different version of the script than the one that was shot. or things get cut in the edit suite.

the second novelisation of The Terminator for example, adds a scene at the end with two guys talking about the explosion at the factory where they work and the one managed to get inside the police lines and found the T-800's arm and chip. the two guys then quit, set up their own company and name it... 'Cyberdyne'.

the Terminator 2 novel includes more scenes set in 2029 at the beginning, including stuff showing the machines stopping mid-battle, before Connor and his deputy get word that Skynet's been shut down and we see John sending Kyle back to 1984 before Connor and Fuentes find a second T-1000 and then enter a T-800 storage room, where Connor pulls out a model 101...

Cyberdyne is in deleted scenes in the special edition Terminator dvd to

didn't know that. i've only seen the original cut.

the novels of the Trek movies often add stuff, certainly those for the first six movies do:

TMP includes a scene where Kirk recieves the imagery of the Klingon encounter with V'ger in his head via a brain implant.

TWOK includes scenes with the Genesis scientists

SFS includes extra scenes dealing with the Genesis scientists' deaths and David and Saavik's death

TVH reveals that one of the two binmen is actually writing a book and is actually describing the story when the BoP lands

TUC includes a scene with Chang's BoP raiding a border colony, and Carol Marcus being injured.
