Synopsis:

A new take on the most beloved installment of the original cast Star Trek movies; Wrath of Khan. By introducing classic TOS sound and music cues and restructuring the movie to be told from James T. Kirk’s point of View, we are given a fresh look at a classic.


Intentions:

The intent of this edit is NOT to create a better movie. Wrath of Khan already rocks!!! Instead, I set out to create an alternative, and hopefully, entertaining viewing experience. Wrath of Khan is probably hands down the best, and most popular, of the Original Cast Trek Movies. It has stood the test of time fairly well, with few weak/bad scenes and very little fat. I have often described it as a lean, mean, economical story machine. But after many, many viewings over the years, the thing I always found the most fascinating about the movie is the two main characters of KIRK and KHAN never actually physically meet through the entire movie. And that got me thinking, could a person still tell the same story by completely (or as much as possible) removing KHAN from the movie? Thus, a Fan Edit was born!


Change List:

– created new opening teaser introducing Reliant, Genesis, Terrell, Chekov and our mystery villian – modified TOS opening credits from V’GER edit – cut all Regula One scenes featuring Carol and David Marcus – cut Khan introduction and torture of Terrell and Chekov – cut all Reliant/Khan scenes – cut all scenes featuring Spock in Engine Room – added flashback to Space Seed episode – restructured Spock’s funeral scene – modified new closing credits from V’GER edit – added TOS music and sound f/x – plus one or two other surprises!


Additional Notes:

With the exception of the Opening Teaser, I have attempted to recut the remaining movie from the Point of View of Admiral James T. Kirk. Thus, the viewer experiences the adventure as Kirk does. The audience only learns details as Kirk learns them. Furthermore, the audience only sees or hears KHAN when KIRK is present. Along with flashback clips from the Original Series, TOS music/FX and a few other surprises, PERDITION’S FLAMES will be a fresh and enjoyable viewing experience for the Trek Fan who has watched WRATH OF KHAN on more occasions than they like to admit.
