Line 17:
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Evangelion: Death and Rebirth]]'' is kind of a corner case, containing parts of both the show and [[The Movie]].
** The reason why Death and Rebirth happened was because Hideaki Anno felt that the Japanese public's memory needed to be refreshed regarding the events of the series, considering End of Evangelion was due for release soon and the series had ended a year ago. As well, there were scenes cut from the series (and re-added for the Director's Cut episodes) that would have been critical to understanding End of Evangelion; for example, the scene where {{spoiler|Gendo tries to merge Rei with the Adam embryo on his hand}} would be nearly incomprehensible without first knowing that {{spoiler|Gendo even HAD the embryo on his hand.}}
** Then came [[Rebuild of Evangelion]], a remake of the old series in the form of four movies. The first simply covered the first six episodes, while giving Ramiel a serious [[Took a Level
* ''[[Gundam]]'' loves doing it. There were compilation movies of the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|original series]], [[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Zeta Gundam]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Endless Waltz]], [[Turn A Gundam
* "[[Ghost in the Shell]]: S.A.C. -? The Laughing Man" and "Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig -? Individual Eleven" were compilation movies of the first two seasons of ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]: Stand Alone Complex''.
* ''[[RahXephon]]: The Movie'' edited together whole episodes with new scenes and had a different ending.

* "Mission Impossible Versus the Mob" was created from a two-part episode of ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'' ("The Council," for the record).
* "The Wackiest Wagon Train in the West" was a compilation of episodes from the failed comedy ''Dusty's Trail.''
* "King Arthur, the Young Warlord" did a good job of editing together episodes of ''[[Arthur of the Britons]]'' into a single cohesive story
Line 49:
** "[[Master Ninja]]" and "[[Master Ninja]] II" were each pieced together from two episodes of the obscure martial arts show ''[[Master Ninja|The Master]]''. Because the show's premise is "two guys travelling the country in a van [[They Fight Crime|fighting injustice]]," the two halves of each film take place in different cities with different villains and different guest stars, and pretty much no transition in between.
** "Riding with Death" came from two episodes of ''[[Gemini Man]]'' that featured country singer Jim Stafford as a guest star - never mind the fact that they were a good distance apart in the show's run, and [[The Chick]] had [[Put on a Bus|left the series]] by the time of the latter, requiring a clumsy cover-up.
** "Manhunt in Space" and "[[Rocky
** [[Fugitive Alien|"He triiiiiiied to kill me with a forklift! OLE!"]] "[[Fugitive Alien]]", from the ''Star Wolf'' series.
** "[[Time of the Apes]]", from ''SF Drama Army of the Apes''.
Line 60:
* The ''[[Monty Python]]'' movie ''[[And Now for Something Completely Different]]''. This was in fact a compilation of completely re-filmed sketches made for theatrical release, since the originals a) were shot on video tape, b) had [[Laugh Track|laugh tracks]], and c) were only available for TV distribution (the movie could also be viewed in full colour, at a time when many british viewers owned only black-and-white television sets).
* One of the constituent serials of the NBC series ''[[Cliffhangers]]'', "Stop Susan Williams" was later re-edited into a telemovie, ''The Girl Who Saved The World''. Because the original serial's broadcast was [[Cut Short]] by cancellation, it ended up being the first time Americans saw that serial's ending.

* Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation series ''[[Stingray (1964 TV series)||Stingray]]'', ''[[Thunderbirds]]'' and ''[[Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons]]'' were subjected to this.
* Also applies to Anderson's live action ''[[UFO]]'' and ''[[Space: 1999]]''.
* ''[[The Man from U.N.C.L.E.]]'' may be the originator of this format, releasing most of its two-part episodes (with some new footage) as theatrical features (usually overseas first, because the show was not being aired in foreign markets). The films released were:

** Some PBS stations used to show classic ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episodes in Compilation Movie format. The color used to [http://www.purpleville.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/rtwebsite/colouris.htm re-colorize] "The Daemons" came off such a compilation. BBC America has also done this with new series episodes, albeit quite badly by leaving the director and producer credits in half way through the movie.
*** ''The Five Doctors'' inverted the trope: it was made as a 90-minute movie, but intended to be cut into four episodes for syndication.
** Also done to a few classic serials for their DVD release, unlike many other examples these Compilation Movies are [[
* Two episodes of the live-action ''[[The Flash (TV
* ''[[Dead Set]]'' was originally aired as a 5-part mini series but has later been shown as a 2.5 hour movie.
* The 1936 ''[[Flash Gordon Serial|Flash Gordon]]'' serial was later condensed into a feature-length film called ''Rocket Ship''.
