  • the best thing about the new tron is DAFT f*ckin PUNK.

  • Tron 1982 - amazing at that time!

    Tron 2010 - amazing today!

  • The best thing about this scene is that the programs here were playing legit, unlike in Tron Legacy where Sam's team was getting derezzed by ID disks and vehicle ramming.

  • ahh those were the days :)

  • well, the new one was cooler

  • Wow. We've made leaps and bounds since then.

  • why do old people turn old.. new one was fine.

  • is the program they use in 1982 is AutoCad??

  • i think when they turn time slows down :b

  • epic, one of the iconic scenes of sci-fi

  • Yeah I grew up watching this movie truly wonderful memories !

  • One of the reasons I like the old movie is because they can play that kind of game way better than me XD

  • The new movie is visually beautiful, but the frames move too fast and the bright colors against the dark setting stand out so much... my eyes hurt after the first hour. I like this one better. Campy in nature and acceptable effects, and best of all, doesn't hurt the eyes. ^_^

  • I am scrolling the comments for the special effects fags who are saying "it no good cuz it no got goos special effects. Avatar is the greatest movie ever because of special effects. Special effects is the only thing that matters in movies and I expect moder special effects in a movie that is 30 years old"

  • my tron 1982 lightcycle game has better graphics than this!

  • What the fuck!

  • classic

  • Lmaooo this used to be top of the line stuff. Compare it to 2011

  • @SPARTON0Weezy you can't compare it. They both have thier pros and cons. This was the top of the line back then and you have to appreciate that. I don't know if you saw this when it came out, but I was 7 or 8 and my buddy's mom brought a few of us to see it and we were totally blown away. There was really nothing else like it out there at the time, so while the new Tron IS awesome, it's not that unique, there are a lot of other movies out these days that are visually stunning.

  • This is funny because this an actual movie

  • @Studip109 whats funny about it?

  • there called LightCycles guy

  • The ipod lightbike app has better graphics =D

  • I always thought (and still think) that the old light bikes sound like drills @ the dentist

  • this is one of the first full cgi scenes

  • Classic

  • back then those graphics were the shit! now the are... shit. still, nothing beats the original

  • i feel claustrophobic lol

  • So much better than the new tron. Why cant they make movies this good anymore?

  • this looks like kingdom hearts when you go to space paranoids xD but in the movie it looks like a frkn developers demo stage

  • UGH....great...-_-...Youtube's doing that shit where it takes 2 years to load 2 minutes of video again.

  • Wow, back to the old old past

  • for its time this movie was very advanced in special effects

  • It looks computer animated but I <3 this vid

  • coollllll awesome!!!!!!

  • i know the old one was made without the cgi of today but the new one is popular because the imagery is so good. it actually looked like it could be real. the sad thing about this is that its just too fake for me, it just looks like they got the actors to play a video game instead of making a movie. but the new one is too real looking you know its fake. but we can all agree that the circuitry suit things in the new movie look way better then the gayass pajamas they wear in the original

  • That's why I like the original movie much more. I respect and praise the artwork of the artists of the new movie but the excess of photorealism pulls you away from "being inside the electronic world of a computer" too much. If it was perhaps a little more artistically abstract (remember the extremely beautiful and yet very "angular" and/or very "geometric" cave scene of the 1st) and symbolic and it didn't try so much to mimic "the real world" (albeit futuristic) it would have been much better.

  • The original movie had this very iconic and artistic style that was very special and unique. You were transported to this very beautiful artistic world that was a very symbolic representation of what was supposed to be happening inside a computer. In the new movie too many times in many scenes you feel like you are instead in some sort of future city like Coruscant or Bespin or the bridge of the Enterprise E, very beautiful but often you don't fell like you are inside the computer world.

  • @PixelOz I couldn't agree more. I hated legacy for that exact reason.

  • @PixelOz Ditto. Also, people forget that when this movie came out in 1982, these visuals were quite an achievement, especially considering the insane limits of computing hardware at the time. Scene compositions had to be done optically instead of digitally.

  • @PixelOz it could just be that its runnign the frostbite 2 engine

  • @PixelOz yes but Koevin Flynn created the TRON system with the intention f human kind iving in there 'in there is a new world, in there is our destiny' so naturally he created it so it was like the real world so humans could easily adapt, he desgned so it wasnt like a computer within

  • So it has scuff marks in many places but if the objects can change shape and appear out of nowhere and regenerate at a whim with a computer command, why do they have scuff marks? Yeah, Yeah to make it more photorealistic, I know but this is kinda oximoronic. You ca say: "But many modern games are photorealistic" Yes BUT those games are depicting REAL LIFE objects and inside the TRON world the objects depicted are supposed to be COMPUTER GENERATED so they don't have so much like real life objects

  • @PixelOz I think it had more to do with the success of movies like the matrix. Now everyone and everything is dressed in black or lit in a dark setting.

  • I think that the biggest failure in the new movie was that they did the graphics way too photorealistic and the original had more of a very unique and very beautiful artistic style. I feel that the new movie fell pray to the obsession with the hyper photorealistic craze of today. I mean look at the graphics of the new movie, it even has scuff marks in many areas to make it more "photorealistic" but scuff marks in computer generated objects that are shape changing??? Where is the sense in that?

  • That old software in those supercomputers (Cray 1's, very fast back then but a turtle nowadays - easily surpassed by even low end PCs today) didn't calculate the animation, it only rendered still frames!! So there was still a lot of manual calculation for the trajectories of all the 3D objects, very, very impressive.

  • To me the original is still better even tough I do like the artwork on the second one too. Back there the only way to compute that kind of graphics was with supercomputers and animation software didn't have tweening meaning that it could not compute the in between frames (between key frames) automatically so what they did to compute the animation was mathematics and curves with graph paper!! Yes the path for all the 3D objects in all three coordinates was calculated by hand!!. Yikes!!!

  • GO RAM!

  • Stays ÜBERcool, even now...the computersounds, the tension, design...and Jeff Bridges is epic. 2010 version can't display any of this feeling...it's hollowed out

  • Retro!

  • To be honest, both the light cycles old school and new are bad ass. Hard to decide which is better, both is sexi XD THumbs up if you a die hard Tron fan

  • I keep thinking about a Swedish kids show called "Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter" but the only thing they have in common is being made in the 80's

  • How...the hell....did they do this in 1982????

  • @xXMapleVodkaXx ZX Spectrum

  • @mitsucanter247365 ...Awesome.

  • new tron is better in the graphics, but this one is amazing for the classics! heh, i made a rhyme!

  • one word ........amazing 

  • ☆☆

  • waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the new tron!

  • go on the software centre and search for 'armagetron' for a MMORPG that is just like this

  • search GL tron it's a game that looks just like this

  • I was 3 yrs old when I saw star wars episode IV in1977. Compare all other sci-fi movies of that time and you will c the quantum leap in sight and sound. Tron is another leap in sight and sound. These movies changed my life. Turned me into a scientific warrior. I love Legacy but don't kill the messenger until you know the king

  • Wait...the colors are flip-flopped...

  • *Tron:Legacy

  • I smh at all the YOUNG people today that put down this movie for the special efx. Young ppl today are spoiled by what's seen in today's films. this was 1982. I'm 36 now but at the time, I was only 7. I was blown away when I saw this back then. Tron and the Star Wars films were the TOP special efx movies. To the young ppl that put this movie down, wait until your grandkids laugh at the "primitive" special efx of Avatar and Tron Evolution.

  • i have an idea... instead of remaking and butchering classics like this film... think of something new and original!

  • although, i bet automan could've done this.

  • As an 80's TRON fan, i think 168 dislikes are from before TRON Legacy trailer first came out.

  • if you compare how the computer generated graphics changed from 1982 to 2010 / 11 .... amazing

  • Amazing graphics for the time.

  • ahh. i love the ipad game!

  • As someone who likes both movies; this was certainly one of the most exciting parts. Drove my parents nuts when I was a kid pretending to ride a light cycle.

    Ah, the wonderfully sordid memories of my misspent youth. I'd do it all over again if I could!

  • RETRO VIDEO GAMES WERE BETTER.

  • Oh man, it would be awesome to have those bikes in real life *u* But what would they run on, I wonder...

  • @NacodaLupine I wonder why no one has tried to make these light cycles with the closed canopy and all or even a lifesize replica of one of them.

  • Absolutely better than the POS movie from 2010. Tron 2 sucked !!

  • I love the part when you see it from the drivers view.

  • Why do the guy's in the orange bike have blue lines and the guy's in the blue bikes have orange lines?

  • seriously - ppl tend to overanalyze movies and instead just let them do what they are designed for - entertain you!

  • So why shouldnt Clu which is a program from Tron become what Flynn wishes for ? Makes sense to me - however Clu get lost in his way - but is that so wrong ? I was baffled and all hyped when I first saw Tron and when I heard they finally came up with a sequel I was very excited and for me - I was baffled by it after seeing it in the movie theater. I remember when ppl had saw last matrix they like, 'but it's only action, war and mayhem' - duh .. if you didnt catch that in the 2 first ones ...

  • Now as for the second one the story and technology has somehow been told throughout first one and other movies like Matrix - which basically is based on the manga series Ghost in the shell - Stand alone complex. So Matrix aint that original as ppl might think. But back to Tron Legacy - what makes that one a good sequel to first one ? The fact that Flynn tried to make something good after defeating Master Control ? I would say yes - As Clu say in the end of TL - 'I did everything u said!'

  • As I see it both movies are epic from one single point of view - they are both unique. Tron was made when practically there were around 5 companies in the world to compute and render every single line of 1 object in a 3 dimensional space. 600 code lines for each 6 seconds pr. scene. I think we all can imagine the task it was and the cost of it - does that make Tron a good movie . no. It's the story combined with breathtaking technology for it's time.

  • ......why square turns? o.0

  • @supersonic71097 Have you ever played "Snake?" I think of the lightcycle scene as a literal translation of that concept, except with other players on the field. Makes sense when, by the time of TRON:LEGACY, the lightcycle "game" would be upgraded to something sleeker.

  • I know people always like to give it to the original because of course "nothing beats the original" but come on tron legacy 2010 was way better

  • @yellowbrownies5 acting and directing is way better in the first one you know if they had todays technology it would have owned legacy

  • im 17 and i saw the first tron and the second and i have to say the first one is ten times better

  • What exactly happens to the people when the de-res?

  • @Ffiti2 guess they get deleted

  • I still think this scene is better than the light bike scene in Legacy. The effects might be crappy but there is more tension in this one.

  • I remember seeing this in the theater when I was a little kid, I was scared shitless.

  • Best. CGI. Ever.

  • Cool

  • Thumbs up if you believe that the old 1982 bike scene is better than the 2010 film!!

  • @mayraymauri I don't really like whan people are saying that the original is better because like, it's the original and you "can't touch the original!" In my opinion Tron legacy was alot better like the story was better and the lightbike scene was a lot more badass!

  • @bouchandre sorry but the original was much better. Yeah, Tron Legacy is up-to-date with contemporary special effects, but back in 1982, Tron was completely original and unique in storyline, design, concept, and visual and special effects. Tron Legacy is a good film, but unfortunately for it, the Matrix trilogy does a much better take on virtual reality. Basically, it is an appreciate for originality and creativity. Don't get me wrong, Tron Legacy is good. But Tron captured public attention.

  • @baw0909

    Agree. I think I can suspend my disbelief more for the 1982 version since everything looks "artificial" in a plausable way. Where as the 2010 one visual is stunning nonetheless but everything you see is too life-like - just doesn't quite convey a world made out of 0011001011101 - We all "know" the story but what we "see" seems like a story misrepresented visually.

  • @baw0909: Exactly... you stole my thoughts!! lol... when I watched the movie, I was really expecting the sudden turns of the bikes in 90 degrees... I mean just compare the two scenes... for me the new one could look badass... but the first one is way more interesting and entertaining.

  • @bouchandre: I never said TRON LEGACY is not good... I was specific to a scene, I like the whole movie and it has great effects.. which we actually see in many, many movies these days. anyways I still like the OLD 1982 Bike scene.. might not look as awesome as the new one but I prefer the old one with the 90 degrees sudden turns, for me it's better... and I'm sure you might seen movies where you'd thought that the original is better... sometimes happens and we all have a different points of view

  • @mayraymauri : Fucking definately. TRON in 1982 introduced with its own unique way, the true spirit of the cyberpunk video game subculture. Show fuck yeah, Thumbs up...

  • @mayraymauri well .. duh. :) hell yes it is.

  • @mayraymauri yeah... right....

  • @mayraymauri i will not disagree with you about the actually plot of the film, but the visual captivity that the 2010 version sends out is rather amazing and shocking, the film as a whole was only captivating by the quality and amazing graphical content, the plot was horrible though this scene is what started all of it though :)

  • @mayraymauri Fuck yeah

  • DumbGI

  • looks like a windows screensaver...

  • smells like beef in here.

  • lol i just saw tron legacy way better bet this is good for 1982

  • This special effects seem way too high-tech for 1982 tbh - great job Disney!

  • Like a speeder bike pursuit in Return of the jedi, Light cycles Tron scene are one of more best pursuit scènes in Cinema !

  • WOW this looks WAAAAY Different than today's Tron: Legacy.. But still this is the grandad of all..

  • so the first day tron legacy came out i saw this movie because my dad told me to watch this before i saw the mew 1 as bad as the graphics are i really really liked it maybe even more the legacy

  • this is really impressing

  • Cool

  • This was the first Sci-fi movie i saw before star trek and star wars when i was a little boy, even though i was born the year this film was released........1982

  • pong had better visual effects than this

  • OMG TOO REAL!

  • tron legacy is better

  • I love this film. So many memories. lol

  • hi can you tell me the name of this movie thx :)

  • @tetsaiga376 ...Tron?

  • man the original tron looked.... i cant really describe it

  • anyone know how to find this game, I remember playing it 5 years ago or so, now I can't remember what it was called, it looked just like this video, a giant square with players battling against each other trying to kil lthem in the lines.

  • look nothing compared to new tron

  • @scuzzychubs

    No shit?

    I got some news for you little kids. When you see a movie, and almost thirty years go by, the newer movies are going to have better special effects, too.

  • @Draknfyre obviously im not thick as shit dude i do know that the change in technology is way different now to thirty years ago

  • @scuzzychubs

    "looks nothing compared to new tron"

    Apparantly you don't.

  • @Draknfyre how does that mean i dont know that is just me stating that they are different dumbass

  • @scuzzychubs

    So you make an obvious statement calling out the disparity between a thirty year-old movie, and it's current-day sequel, someone calls you out on it, and you defend yourself saying "I know it's going to look different."

    Makes you look stupid.

  • @Draknfyre no i said it looks different hows that make me look stupid you are kinda stupid having an arguement on youtube lol there is a thing called a life and frankly you need one lol btw its youtube ... :S jackass

  • @scuzzychubs

    "Lol, stupid, I have a life"

    As if I didn't know you were a kid already.

    It's ok kid, use your typical kid excuses. I am not even going to bother explaining what your initial comment looked like, because you wouldn't get it.

  • @Draknfyre yes i am 15 and no you dont have alife y#if you are arguing with a 15 year old ... on youtube .... about a random comment what do you go around youtube looking for comments liek this so you can start a bitch fight over it ? xD you really make me laugh

  • @scuzzychubs

    Someone makes a comment that sounds derogatory about a thirty year old movie not looking like a modern sequel. Typical kid thing to not consider the age between two things. You can defend your comment all you like, it's just one of millions of "Lol, this sucks compared to the new one, lol" that's on every video about an older version of something that's had a new update.

  • @Draknfyre oki dude i didnt say it sucked i was actually thinking watching it because i dont care about how the movie looks only if it has a good storyline so shut up grow a pair and fuck off dumbass

  • @scuzzychubs

    Another sign of a kid. Constant swearing and insults.

  • @Draknfyre yes haha you get one thing right but to let you know i am 15 so yeah im immature and love it

  • @scuzzychubs

    Keep enjoying that foul mouth, and immaturity. It's going to get you in lots of arguments like this in the future.

  • @Draknfyre to be completely honest with you your more of a child than me im having some fun and you are taking it to far + you are having an argument with a 15 year old as i said before get a life my friend

  • @scuzzychubs "to be completely honest with you" What exactly does that phrase mean? Are you saying you've been lying earlier? Your logic is childish. Just because you are 15 doesn't mean you own YouTube comment section. Listen kid, you say something dumb in public, please expect to be called out for it regardless of your age. If you are too dumb to learn from someone trying to explain to you what you did that was dumb, well, then you are not only young, immature, but obviously, also...dumb.

  • @baw0909 im not saying im smart i said looks nothing to the new tron ... which means graphic wise im not hating on the old one but its not from my time so obviosly im gonna say something like that

  • and i will enjoy the foul mouth

    

  • and i didnt say lol either only to you because you are a bitchy 40 year old jackass living in his mothers basement

  • Tron Lightbike: i would die at the first turn

    Tron Legacy Lightbike: i would die at the second or three turn

  • write a comment about your mom and get thumbs up

  • @KitchenerBombSquad Write a comment about someone who got thumps up and get nothing!

  • @BurnSchulz i guess that makes you nothing

  • @KitchenerBombSquad and then what about you? sad isnt it?

  • @BurnSchulz haha how is that relevant? and why would it be sad? you said i got nothing, but what i actually got was you, so you're basicly calling yourself nothing. that's what it sounds like anyways, dont get confused, btw i dont feel like chatting on a tron video so save yourself some time

  • @KitchenerBombSquad stupid logic is stupid... nuff said

  • @BurnSchulz aha i see your pic, your just a lil guy eh, thats funny ( cause this conversation wouldnt be happening irl ) nuff said

  • @KitchenerBombSquad This pic is nearly 5 years old and was supposed to be a joke on Hip Hop fags.

    Yea i like to make jokes and stuff, but go on and have a nice life where one of the most important things for you to do is collecting thumbs up by comments that would force other people to.

    I am not small, i am 1.88m and if i ever see a geek like you in real life arguing with me about super unimportant stuff caus he might get a boner by that, i simply leave him like that and go away.

    Goodbye now.

  • Those graphics were pretty good back in 1982. I think they're okay now, though they don't compare to the CGI from Tron Legacy. But what the heck; this is a classic. 

  • Damn those Recognizers

  • Classic. Check out the recent Duck Tape commerical.

  • This looks so LEGIT.

  • 1: TRON (original) is better then Legacy (FLOP)

    2: Even with $ spent on Legacy this will still have more views then the new bike scene

    3: Only decent thing was the Chick with black hair and the blonde one who should of got them out

    4: Daft punk are legends

    5 : Check out The Empire Strikes Back AT-AT scene and notice how all them old movies ripped each other off with the sounds used.

    LONG LIVE TRON ( RIP RAM YOU WAS THE NUTS)

  • @VinylSamuraisMusic

    I actually liked Legacy...

  • This is so cool. i can't even imagine how hard this must have been to make in 82

  • 0:31 check the screen on the blue lightbike.

    it moved *glitched* XD

  • If virtual reality games really kicked off in the 90's this would be epic to play!

  • i like how the turns in the original are instantaneous, it's more intense to me

  • i think that this scene was very hard to do in the 82'

  • @importantnegro Sayeth the troll

  • The new light cycle race in TRON: Legacy is cool, but I still like this one even better! And I have NO IDEA how many quarters I dropped into the TRON video game just so I could play the light cycle levels!!! Finally 'beat' the game... only to be disappointed by the fact that all the game did was reset itself back to level one and start over... so I got a 'free game'!

  • wow...is this how it was xD......having recently saw tron legacy this is...different, but what do you expect

  • please tell me what this game was called :/ I really want to play it again but can not finds downloads for this it has the same grafix and looks the same it was the first game of Tron I ever knew ... Moreover I can only find the new shit on the internet which in my opinion sucks I really wanna go oldschool so please tell me where exactely to download that game !!!! NEEEEDDDSSS ^^

  • When will they remaster this for blu ray?

  • I loved the costumes of the original Tron. You would have thought with the EL wire an micro circuitry you would have seen more intricate costumes in the Legacy. Legacy should have had more intricate costumes to resemble the first movie as apposed to just one line running the length of the costume.

    Just my opinion though.

  • watching the vfx of this movie today feels so weird :)

  • Do some of you guys ever feel like some of the CG is more traditionally animated than CG?

  • @96gamerdude Due to limitations in processing and available time, all the CG was rendered in Black & White, then hand colored.

  • idc wat anyone says the effects in this movie for it being from the early 80's are super cool and neat.

  • Hows this ment to be better than tron legasy it looks well lame!

  • CLU

  • What was the name of the bad guy from TRON?
