Most of the romantic stuff between Crockett and Isabella have been minimized. You can still see something developing between them, but we don’t see them sharing their life stories over mojitos in Cuba.

Most of the romantic stuff between Crockett and Isabella have been minimized. You can still see something developing between them, but we don’t see them sharing their life stories over mojitos in Cuba. The romantic storyline between Tubbs and Trudy has also been minimized. Whether they’re seeing each other or not is no longer clear (is it part of their cover or is it real?). When Trudy gets hurt, Tubbs stays with her at the hospital, so that implies there’s something more between them. Gina, Trudy, Switek, and Zito are still around but don’t have many lines. A lot of the “talky” scenes have been trimmed to keep the pace up. The new intro uses the old theme song from the TV show using footage from the go-fast boat race. There actually isn’t a whole lot of action in this movie to begin with, but at 92 minutes it’s a much leaner, more intense ride.
Change List:
– Removed group talk with Nicholas.
– Removed Tubbs/Trudy sex scene.
– Removed Jackson Pollock speech.
– Removed Tubbs/Trudy talking at diner.
– Removed Crockett/Isabella in Cuba
– Removed Crockett/Tubbs talk in the hangar.
– Lots of other minor cuts to improve pacing. In total, over 70 cuts!
+ Remixed intro title sequence with original theme song from TV show.
+ Added Crockett’s Theme during ride to safehouse.
