Cleopatra 2525 Intro

[shak15ti]

Yes this show was cheezey & gratuitous & and all the other put downs but it was also fun for the time it was on the air. Except for the costumes it got into heavier Science Fiction/Fantasy in 2nd season but that was then. It actually fit rather nicely with a lot of other Sci/Fi Fantasy out at the time & before.

[TraceSpades]

what the fuck is this shit?

[Markel1970A]

Make you wonder if Faith, Buffy, and Willow met them who would win.

[fallbread]

i liked this show

[Captainumerica]

WHAT THE FU...TURE?

[LazyLimonada]

This and Jack of all trades!!!

[fabriziopiludu]

Kickass women, kickass women, kickass women!!!!

[The1solidsnake]

LMFAO i remember this use to play on saturday nights with hercules and xena

[makinote9]

why why why does this exist??

[darthrevan6]

@makinote9

I've been asking myself the same question. That opening is the cheesiest thing I have ever seen.

[SIGINTBN]

Reminds me of Futurama's time travel song...

[Darkmaker90]

It's based on the same song.

[SinnFein4ever]

I saw the pilot episode when it first came out.

MAN,it was cheesy.

[ahhhttack]

I watched this and Jack of All Trades all the time. I really miss the early 00s, such corny amazing stuff.

[wachtower100]

i loved this i actually have it .You must have good taste.

[Verhoeven1980]

14 years to go guys. LOL.

[sam0822]

@Verhoeven1980 500 and 14, actually

[Verhoeven1980]

@sam0822

Oh, yeah. Got that wrong. Hm. So no Amazone Lasers for me ;-)

[zuki1899]

funny how the actors from hercules and xena kinda stuck together thru various series.

[protoman1214]

wow I remember this show as being sort of cool.....

the only way i'd watch it now is if it were a porno.....

[AdaliaDee]

I'm not gonna lie, I bought the entire series and have not regretted it

[simsloveh]

st this like a chick version of star trek? ah who am i kidding star trek is better :)))

[tempac91]

In the year 2525, three women with the will to survive! AHahhahahahahahahahah

[TheChairmaker]

Holy crap, I never realized Gina Torres was in this!

[baraxor]

When the "Hercules" series was to be cancelled in midseason (beginning of 2000), two half-hour series were created to fill in Herc's one-hour syndicated spot: Cleopatra 2525 and Jack Of All Trades (starring Bruce Campbell). The Auckland studio schedule was split between the two: one series got three days a week, the other got three days a week, and who-knows-what happened on Sunday.

[jmaxx112714]

I loved this show it may not be much in terms of script but still those 3 women ....damn they just made my weekend

[DoctorPretorious616]

The show was pure stinky cheese, but Gina Torres is a damn good singer in addition to being a gorgeous and talented actress, there's a reason why she was the one who came out of this show with her career and dignity intact! Lawrence Fishburne is a lucky man to have her.

[AceTheBathound]

@DoctorPretorious616 Yeah...  I bet they can't say the same for their daughter Montana...

[Rojum55]

OH GOD...the hell is this crap?!

[gerrenx7]

lmao i used to hate this show, along with jack of all trades, Beastmaster, and most of all Mutant X lol

[ralexnicholas]

Gina Torres and Victoria Pratt in a sci-fi show. My 2000 guilty pleasure!

[jackfavvv]

Cleopatra went five hundred years into the future? But that doesn't make sense because the egyptian times doesn't take place in the twenty-first century.

[baraxor]

@jackfavvv

The Cleopatra of the title is not the queen of Egypt, but an exotic dancer from 2000 L.A. who went in for a boob job...things went wrong, and she was cryogenically frozen, to be revived in the underground dystopia of 2525.

[peytonsmybuddy]

The blond is f@ckin hot!!

[Xalgucennia]

Speaking of firefly I CAN'T BELIEVE this lasted longer,

I guess it shows how really devoid of good taste people really are

[thebardingreen]

Hmmm. So this is what Gina Torres did before she did Firefly. ROFLMAO.

[GeneralBulldog54]

@thebardingreen No go back further she was on Hercules or Xena.

[ironite]

@thebardingreen wonder if wash knew bout it

[neomysterio]

What a cheesy looking show.

[DavisJes]

I miss this show I can't wait to get it on dvd

[JuneLuve]

When I was younger I actually liked this series and the one that followed right after it though I forgot the name. I think it was mostly for the theme songs.

[TombMan12]

@JuneLuve jack of all trades? the best show on earth?

[mortic0n]

@JuneLuve Jack Of All Trades! \(^0^)/

[uudo]

@JuneLuve It was Jack-of-all-Trades, and I loved it too. He was played by Bruce Campbell!

[jayjaydeth]

@JuneLuve JACK OF ALL TRADES, SON! How dare you forget Bruce Campbel?! D:

[Ungeniusman]

@JuneLuve JACK OF ALL TRADES

[ronus272]

@JuneLuve  "Jack of Trades" =)

[jehrising]

i just watched this show for the first time on Hulu and i love that it's cheesy/campy. i'll be watching all the episodes.

[Psychology]

This show helped me through puberty

[william43]

Wow, never knew this series. I think its probably so bad that its good. Would love to watch it

[blayzebright]

This looks like it would actually work as the intro to a porno without any changes.

[tkedsall721]

Xena and Gabrielle are so much better at fighting without all the futuristic crap.

[Slagdar]

XD oh geez this show was terrible. hilarious but terrible.

xcuse me while i go back to Xena.

[Dukefazon]

This is so bad, it's almost good. But only almost... The big flying robot at the beginning looks like a ripoff of some Final Fantasy VIII enemy!

[RiVvenGuard]

LESBIANS UNITE! lol

[thesilverspider]

@RiVvenGuard

Cool. I actually think lesbians and bisexual women rule. LOL

[GingerAnne]

GOD I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!

[charlesworth84]

it's a shame the didn't finish this great show propley

[thesilverspider]

@charlesworth84

I can just see it now. Somebody is going to make a movie based on this TV show, if not in the near future, then sometime in the distant future. Hollywood loves to make movies based on TV shows and comic books. LOL

[DarkStar7987DX]

This show rocked

[thebuckrogers22]

u know i never understood why the show is called cleopatra 2525 when the whole show isnt about her. and when i heard the name and saw gina torres i thought she might play cleopatra cuz she played her in xena one time. but when i saw jennifer sky was cleo i was just confused. and never understood why the show is named after her character when her character had really nothing to do with the giant robots and all but oh well still a amazing show i have the dvd

[kwydjebo]

@thebuckrogers22 As I recall, the show was about Cleo, a stripper from present day who was cryo-frozen until 2525, she's the main focus, sure other characters are more competent, but she's the one who the audience is supposed to relate most with. Kinda like in Farscape where Crichton, like the audience, is so new to everything. Personally I wasn't a fan, the only reason I ever saw this show was when I was waiting for Jack of All trades, to each there own.

[thebuckrogers22]

@kwydjebo jack of all trades was good. well i remember the 1st season well. the 2nd one just got really goofy. i cant even remember what the last ep was about. maybe i will check it out on hulu

[thebuckrogers22]

i never knew gina torres the woman who plays hal song the intro song

[IGNsucks]

you know what fuck everyone who says this show is crap, IT WAS MADE FOR CHILDREN DUMBASS, this my childhood. back 2 back action pack saturdays fuck yeah, i miss being a kid. hercules, xena, sinbad, this and jack of all trades, life was good.

[ihavthering]

@IGNsucks oh my god i was thinking of those shows u just mention

[ReturnedGrazzt]

Fuck this shit.

Farscape is where it's at.

[thebuckrogers22]

i always loved this show. i now have it on dvd. sure it is 40 bucks for about 26 eps but still. the delete scenes arent worth it but the outtakes and special affects r. lol just hearing everyone say shit and fuck cracks me up during the outtakes.

[TheMiimaster]

Lifetime much?

[Tabaquix]

After these long years, I am still at loss to find words to describe this God awful series.

[3piper]

Was she in the helter skelter remake??

[mpalenik]

The theme song sounds like it's sung by Oprah.

[AceTheBathound]

@mpalenik Actually, that's Gina L. Torres singing that... She has quite the set of pipes on her...

[paramore151]

@mpalenik Ha,i laughed so hard after i read this.Now i can't listen to this without picturing Oprah lol.

[ronus272]

@mpalenik hahah YEA IT DOES come to think of it!

[EGRJ]

@mpalenik Actually, it's sung by Gina Torres.

[Markel1970A]

@EGRJ Whoah. She can act, kick ass, and sing. Now, that's what I call a triple threat!

[iiSmokeCrayons]

OMG I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS!! Best memory of my childhood!!

[btard4lulz]

i remember this show, FUCK YERR

[amanda69837]

i fucking loved this show when i was little then after it was jack of all traids, but xena fucking topped them all!

[GeorgiaUnity]

It speaks to the tightened anal cavities of some humorless putzes that the AWESOMENESS of this great cheese-ball show is completely lost on them. Uh, yeah...it WAS over the top; that was the point and the glory of it. Jiminy Cricket.

[ZeitOner]

@GeorgiaUnity THANK YOU. 

[JTRLP]

epic rape of a awesome 60's tune and a even bigger waste of money... could have fed a lot of hungry children with it...

[saintfighteraqua]

If an Amazon dies on Xena, she went to the future.

[lenzino7383]

Damn, that theme shong is cheesier than I remembered it! O_0 lol But I loved this show as a kid, right next to Xena, Hercules and Sinbad! :)

[jaydee1389]

@lenzino7383 i was up early watching the re-runs on the WB ^_^

[GusF]

At first, I thought that this was a parody of a bad show but no, apparently not. Still, it always inspired me to listen to a certain Zager and Evans classic.

[SinnFein4ever]

I watched the pilot of this when it came out.

It was like the bastard child of Farscape, Terminator, and Mutant X.

I watched She-Spies, Relic-Hunter, Xena, and Star Trek, instead (among other things).

[swiftkillz]

man i used to watch this after xena

[mcintosh182]

This show was soooo bad. But my crush on Jennifer Sky made me watch it

[KawaiiGeek]

They cancelled the amazingly campy and awesome Jack of All Trades to make /this/ show longer?

Excuse me while I sit in a corner and cry for the death of humanity's sanity.

[Servo333]

thumbs up for Voice.

[Hazukashimeru]

This sounded a lot better in my head....

[dietwattah]

I cannot believe I used to watch this.

[mrrictus]

@dietwattah

I watched it for the have naked chicks...and because at that period in my history I had yet to have a life.

[DetMcNichols]

LOL This was Totaly Chucky Cheese Cheesy Goodness. Was then is now. Somethings nvr change do they?

[KraXoom]

Wow this is definitely a show that's forgetful. I haven't thought of it once since they stopped airing reruns. I don't even know how I got to this video just now O_O.. But still now that I see it I do recall watching it at like 10pm on I think UPN and this was almost 10 years ago (maybe less). I think it had gotten canceled by then so it was airing reruns... Not a bad show, just didn't have much a plot from what I remember.

[baraxor]

Ironically, this show was canceled just as they were moving away from simple shoot-em-up stories to character-driven ones.

It didn't help credibility when the only apparent industries in the c2525 world were gambling, assassination, trafficking and prostitution.

[ubcphysicsyangbo]

I vaguely recall watching a few episodes of this show...I gotta say....it wasn't so great...hahahaha.

[Markel1970A]

@ubcphysicsyangbo It was so eyecandy-filled. Cleo was the fun one. Sarge was the hard-ass one and Hel was the leading one.

[sbtech01]

HOLY SHIT! is gina torres.. firefly ftw.

[MWacesz420]

this theme song could make you turn stupid, no wonder it got canceled, I don't want to even watch anymore LOL

[nameneable]

yeeeaaaaa cimberleeeaa

[FoodCubes]

I remember this show! Wow, that's Zoe from Serenity!

[humanistheart]

I wish there were full eps of this online. And that they had a chance to end the cliff hanger from season 2

[OldBoy2517]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[sagan1976]

What the hell is this, for f***'s sake?

Sounds like a bad Erasure song...

[ursa41]

That Gina Torres is one HOT Cuban mamita!! She was certainly my favorite character and one of the reasons I couldn't wait to catch this show on Saturday nights back in '99.

[champus1969]

Victoria Pratt is hot and not that bad an actor. She deserves better than this Power rangers shite..

[razvy1989ro]

@champus1969 then watch mutant x, she played my favorite character

[childlikebelief]

nostalgia:(

[krzy34]

what title of this song is

[ReelMovieAirbags]

@krzy34 In the Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus) originally by Zager & Evans

[krzy34]

somebody knows what title of this song is and where it is possible to to find

[Xephon0930]

Didn't the intro of this was taken from an old song in the 60s/70s?

[TombMan12]

i think the show was like two part... what was the second one? it was with some zorro kinda guy and some hot chick fighting with napoleon

[xenatorres]

Jack of All Trades, which was later cancelled, and Cleo extended to an hour long show....for 8 eps. Then they cancelled it too. BASTARDS!!!

[TombMan12]

@xenatorres oh ok ty" i used to love that 2525 and jack of all trades

[xenatorres]

NP. I enjoyed them both as well. :)

[NeoMikey]

Was there anything redeeming about this show or was its sole purpose to appeal to the libido of horny fanboys?

[Densaku]

Yeah. It was funny. At least, funniest than this Jack of all Trades show which's been sticked to it.

[ElnAlter]

ugh, i cant believe i even saw a minute of this show! its so terrible

[IGNsucks]

fuck your such a loser, if you didn't like it then why are watching this

[ApprxAm]

Man....that's stuff is good.

[ariharveykinkle]

*sigh* i love vicky pratt and gina torres.

[RaptorQueen]

yes i like this. I remember it along time ago. It came on UPN with shows like the Star Trek Enterprise, Relic Hunter(i think that was saturdays), and Jack of All Trades

[rhatcher010]

I completely forgot about this show.

I was OK with that fact.

[greenblueprints]

@rhatcher010 Same thing happened to me; but I'm glad to remember it now! Haha!

[DamnationReborn]

@rhatcher010 lol snap!

[Sheild2]

... this pains me.

[thefarmergurl]

your an idiot

[FuckImperialism]

Really, thank you for your gratuitous vulgarity. God kills a cat everytime a guy/girl insults someone in youtube. Have it in mind, poor kittys.

[thefarmergurl]

once again your still an idiot, my point proven

[XeonogaShanti9]

It doesn't matter. I'm a sci-fi fan and this entertainment is all over the world.

[TheRealist137]

I remember watching a few episodes of this show when it was on the air and being so confused about what was going on. I was 10 years old at the time and could not for the life of me figure out the show. All I know is the show was kind of scary.

[bandras87]

Here'S the reason why so many people mock sci-fi. Though I gotta admit this is a kickass theme song :)

[Zubirrex]

@bandras87 Gina Torres (Hel) sings it, lol.

[baraxor]

This was one of the Sam Raimi/Rob Tapert syndicated series shot down in New Zealand, along with Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules the Legendary Journeys and Jack Of All Trades.

That same outfit is now making the Legend Of The Seeker tv series.

[xenatorres]

And "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" - there's cast and crew from all four of above shows all over these series. They also worked on "Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" to name a few. Raimi and Tapert run Ghost House Productions as well. Busy folk!!

[thenewgamesource]

I used to whack off to this show and VIP as a teen. Sad....

[jamminjago]

so did this last a full season or half a season lol. In it's defense the chicks were hot, and that's got to be the most hilarious theme song for a mini series ever. Dunno what became of the blondies but Gina Torres went on to do some good stuff like , Matrix, Angel, Firefly and she married Morpheus!

[jomckellan]

Mini-series? Pro-tip: This gem had double the seasons Firefly had: 2. 2 whole seasons of Cleopatra 2525 and one season of Firefly.

[xenatorres]

Actually - it had three seasons. They were short seasons, but there were three.

[xenatorres]

Vicky Pratt did "Mutant X" for three years after this and the short lived "Day Break". She's been a gust star in numerous shows like "Ghost Whisperer," "CSI," and "Cold Case" and has starred in several movies, "Journey to Center of the Earth," "Hush Little Baby," and "Brotherhood of Blood" - among other things. She's had steady work for sure. :) She's also married to director TJ Scott.

[antideborah]

@piccolodick69

Cleopatra 2525

And if I were you, I'd watch your language, young man.

There might be kids reading what you're saying.

[alltudio]

What did I just watch?

[LilDemona]

Is that Xena at 0:36?

[misstee101]

no, that's the evil reyna.

[panamcspana]

...is this a porno?

[fashionweb]

wtf is this?! why would anyone waste time or money on something like this?!

[XeonogaShanti9]

I do, I bought Hel and High Water costume.

[landline00]

Hot chicks, Sci Fi, decent FX, irreverent story line...

This was probably the greatest show ever.

[landline00]

I loved this show. It rocked. Who ever disagrees is gay IMHO.

[1989bc]

landline00: That's a bit disproportionate. I enjoyed this show a great deal too, but everybody is entitled to their opinion.

[antideborah]

@landline00

I used to watch this show, because I thought it was interesting.

And also there were no profanities like (censored).

[landline00]

There is nothing even remotely objectionable about the show -except perhaps the sexy costumes.

[Rikoshima]

this show WAS my childhood. i swear to god.

[Gabthar]

I hope you still don't carry the scars.

[thebuckrogers22]

@Rikoshima same here well my teen years. i wish there were more shows like this. lol this show is like charlie angels meets the matrix lol

[kidbrothing]

it's a good action serial, i saw like 10 episodes

[werandomnize]

I'm sorry, but this looks like some failed porn movie? XD

[Beowulfcam]

...and your point is?

[werandomnize]

The point is that it failed.

[SparksShallFly]

I suggest you at least watch the first episode before you judge it such as you are. I am sure when people look at you they think "I'm sorry but you look ignorent." And I am sure everyone is correct. XD ((fyi the whole xd piece I was mocking you.))

[werandomnize]

Yup, and that's why you shouldn't be so rude by actually mock people you don't even know.

On another note.

I said the INTRO looks like some failed porn movie.

I mean c'mon;

There are these three women, barely dressed, the camera angles are cheap, the lighting is way too bright, the robots look even MOAR AWESOME, if you know what I mean.

[VicRules666]

Whats wrong with porn? Are you gay?

[onexero1]

omg this is real. has anyone seen Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills?

[PhilipWunelle]

Lmao, sorry but this look corny and horrible.

Doesn't surprise me they took it off the air at all.

[pbrskater26]

I loved it, this was on the line up before xena!

[AlusPryde]

omg, this was actually a show?

[baraxor]

To use a catchphrase from 1969's "Laugh In":

You bet your bippy!

[dav5tar09]

I used to love this show!

But then it just stopped coming on TV, why?

[cooro987]

I'm 15 now. And I remeber when I was like 6 or 7 years old and my mom got me up every day to watch this. I loved Cleopatra 2525! But then it stopped airing. And there was one time I woke up at 4:00 a.m and it was on. They take all the best shows off the air! Xena,The Lost World,Angel, anything else I cant think of right at the moment?

[MultiYogibear]

this series and theme song is brilliant

[AceTheBathound]

Three Half Naked Girls??!!?!?

How Come It Only Needed Magnus, Robot Fighter for the job?

Incidentally, He was a total Robot Wrecking Machine by himself, which is why his comic book series was so great...
