Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Battlestar Galactica: Razor (2007)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Battlestar Galactica: Razor was conceived and partially financed by Universal Studios Home Entertainment, which wanted a stand-alone product on DVD only days after its Sci Fi broadcast and required 10 to 15 minutes of scenes that would not be in the broadcast version.
- Ronald D. Moore declined the home video division's offer to include violence or sex that would not meet Sci Fi's broadcast standards, and even cut a torture scene that was in the script during principal photography.
- Ronald D. Moore and his editors heavily re-ordered and re-edited the rough cut so the narrative was more linear, a change that disappointed screenwriter Michael Taylor.
- The Centurions of the first Cylon War were computer-generated rather than actors in suits, although they kept the design of the original series' Cylons and the actor who voiced them in the original series returned.
