William Shatner's cut ran slightly over two hours (not including ending credits or the opticals), which Paramount Studios thought was too long. Their target runtime was 1 hour, 45 minutes, which would guarantee twice-nightly theatrical screenings. Harve Bennett was handed the task of shortening the film's running time, despite Shatner's view that nothing could possibly be removed. Shatner was horrified by Bennett's edit, and the two haggled over what parts to restore or delete.
