[candyjabaneroful]

tyler lockwood needs to check this out and see how its done!

[gandillon]

mas parece que se esta pudriendo

[SnatchBandit771]

Steve French? Here, Steve French! Has anybody seen Steve French?

[bigbabysld]

I was 12 when this show came out, AND I LOVED IT!, if there was a crap superhero show back on in those days...I WATCHED IT AND LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT'S CHEESINESS :)

[goposey]

it's got real panther bits in it, so you know it's good

[oscarlopezguatemala]

manimal¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ME GUSTABA CUANDO SE TRANSFORMABA EN PUMA O EN PANTERA¡¡¡¡¡¡ gracias por estas series tan increibles que pude vivir en esta vida¡¡¡¡

[nade75020]

Quand j'étais petit je croyais que c'était possible ça!

[WAMEDJO]

He looks to smile at a certain point of his transformation...

[superlillybird]

I loved this show has a kid. Still it make me laugh watching the crappy special effects, brings back good memories.

[187RailroadBull]

Raawrr

[BigFishSmallPond831]

The music is so epic

[Trekgater]

Another fantastic TV program. 

[drewski4144]

what a terrible show! what the hell were we thinking?

[andresviveros]

at 0147 he looked like a mouse

[TheMasterNo6]

The way the Tiger looked away said it all - this was such a shit show....scared the shit out of me as a kid though, especially the Snake transformation....

[NYtassu]

Daym!

[stevemonkey78]

I was a monkey but I changed into a human and got stuck

[Takrezz]

thumbs up if as a kid you practice this manimal transformation

[videozfann]

@Takrezz LOL! Guilty!

[boomerschance]

Kinda looks like Michael York from Isle of Dr. Mouraeu (saw it on Svengoolie he is till on after 30 years.)

[PositronRobo]

I like the part where he was transforming

[JonathanUtah]

This scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.

[jugarreto]

que viejos recuerdos,excelente

[brownhornet22]

@ 1:01 The lion says, "what the f#ck?"

[mackeymkay]

Cheesetastic. Took him a while...

[rcfearn]

OMG - he would be dead 10 times over before he got anywhere close to transforming!!

[crystaly01]

I loved this show!

[KobaineCityEnt]

i remember this show.. damn sure wasnt 1983 when i saw it but i remember it lol

[flexchen]

AWESOME! Must have been a little kid no bigger then 5 or so when I watched that last time. It's kind of burned in my brain lol, it feels strange seeing this again like 20 years later XD (don't let your children watch tv, seriously)

[ruybassline]

ÊITA COMO EU SOU VELHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PaoComFiambre]

Ahahahaha.. cara, sou de portugal e pensei o mesmo. CARALHO ESTOU VELHO. É que já nem me lembrava desta serie até vir aqui!

[jmoli93]

So, uh, what was the whole point in freakishly changing into a panther?

[nephildevil]

the eighties porn music isnt exactly helping either

[wolfywox]

I hope he didn't go our fighting crime or anything, because taking almost two minutes to change is two minutes too long. Do you know how many times he could have been shot and stabbed before he finished transforming?

[Hazardbone]

fuck is this real

[bantoid]

FELT PAW - ACTIVATE

[adnstormy]

can anyone help me i cant find a tv series i watched when these series aired.In that series there were two asian girls with super powers.one was on good side and other evil.the good one helped the kids protect the world.

[Sampanion]

I was 13 when this aired, and I thought it was terrible. Now I think it's awesome. Is this the feeling you humans call 'nostalgia'?

[arrawghost]

This was a HUGE hit in Italy. Terrific show, Simon was a top notch actor.

[cloudld]

He'd save money if he took his clothes off before transforming.

[Petrocorvo]

muito bom!

[PeterZeeke]

used to TERRIFY me, that and the hulk. This is the first time I've been able to watch it

[oneworldkingdom]

@PeterZeeke Same here. Especially with his hands bubbling like that. It really scared the crap out of me when I was younger.

[rene072171]

I loved this series when I was a kid ... thanks for clips on it - can't find it on netflix, was begining to wonder if I dreamed the whole series up LOL

[RtosVadumee]

1:37 the big cats "yeah, whatever.."

[BRRUUUAAHHable]

ILS SONT FORT LES AMERICAIN

[kastratgrinder666]

gonna buy a new suit every time you transform... damn...

[dEsSiCaTa]

Lol at the end the cats here like "Yeah whatever..."

[chatte2528]

QUE DE BONS SOUVENIRS

[BRRUUUAAHHable]

@chatte2528 Tu te souvien de POLICE 3000, meme ya un helicopter assembler sur un CAMION TOUT NOIR

mais je trouve nullepart sur le net,

[sweetdaydreamer247]

Haha, I've called my husband Manimal for years. (yes, he's hairy and muscular, rawr!)

[mickygism]

spends a fortune on suits

[tenken1981]

LOL at 1:00, the lion's like WTF! O_O

[tenken1981]

i remember watching this as a kid....back then it was the scariest shit i'd ever seen xD

[noitcuolewr]

@tenken1981 True man. Was a fan as a kid as well. But it's really strange how nobody at my age relates to me. Was I the only kid who watched it here in the Philippines?

[tavishbhasin]

i remember crying my ass off as a 6-7 year old when this went off air.

I also remember asking my dad to call the cable operator and ask him why he wasnt showing manimal anymore. haha

Hilarious.

[lolcat1945]

looks like some furry person at 1:26

[sjmunoz]

man ! thats ugly !

oh, not the animal, its the special effects...

[charleskastro]

HEY iT'S 1983 and it's television what do you spect!

[sjmunoz]

@charleskastro i know its 1983 and old special effects, its a sarcastic comment you kid.

[unrewritable]

Don't you guys think actor Aaron Eckhart looks like manimal?

[maureenOWW]

THIS WAS HIGHLY FUCKING SCARY WHEN I WAS 7.

[warrengonline]

@maureenOWW I was changing the channels one night looking for something to watch and the clip was at timecode: 1:33, It scared me so bad, I pushed zoomed backwards away from the TV. landed on my butt (it hurt, but I was too scared to accept the pain) and was scared until morning light.

"Manimal, you nightmare maker."

[maureenOWW]

@warrengonline That bit is just funny now. Looks like a stuffed toy.

[warrengonline]

@maureenOWW Tell that to me when I was a 6 or 7 year old kid that lived in the country AFTER a REAL jaguar had escaped a traveling circus and was in the woods only a few yards from our house.

[linda93555]

pretty cutting edge for the early 80's

[houseofsims]

The transformation takes so long that the poor leopard falls asleep at 1:40 in.

[misterchristmas]

epic

[Chrisbajs]

Meow.

[BdeBakanj]

0:42 el marquitos maidana JAJAJAJA

[TheAidan0404]

kool



[werewolf9613]

for 80's, people, just remeber, this was state-of-the-art.

[KusanagiMotoko100]

I used to watch this as a kid... kinda disturbing....

[DrumEagle]

his transformations always scarred the living shit out of me when I was a kid

[dragonloverxxl34]

I'm a panther trapped in human form

[PipeIncognito]

now you black nigger.

[darkangel15221]

Sure it was cheesy, but today's CGI doesn't look that much better. BTW, RIP Simon McCorkindale.

[Choko6862]

Lo máximooooo, mis recuerdos de niña...

[NICKREAPER316]

Roar!......Manimal.

[largeamountsofmeed]

Between this an AWIL, it's no wonder i grew up un-hinged!

Would anyone care for meed?

[FeloniousDrunk]

The ONLY thing that really bugs me is the fact that his clothes always magically reappear when he becomes human again. WTH? We saw the suit rip off in that stock footage that they use every time, so how can he just regrow a new one?

[jsiddharthalc]

Efectos totalmente de la vieja escuela, ahora con el morphing ya es mas rapido y barato hacerlos, pero entonces, era mas barato hacer una mascara para que se transformara en todos los capitulos en tal o cual animal.

[gabrielfrancois]

I used to think his transformations were SOO cool when I was a kid... Now I wonder how I didn't laugh at them. Actually I really wonder how I would have reacted seeing a 2011 sci-fi movie back when I was eight. I probably would have shit my pants cuz it'd look so real.

[DASSAM71]

I loved this show !

[guitarlawyer75]

I used to love this when I was like 8! We children would play of being "manimal"

[mureedahmad]

1:01 - the lion is like "? What the FUCK is wrong with this guy???"

[kayken]

@mureedahmad hahahahahahah totally agree!!!!!

[spadehatesscrewtube]

looks a lot like cat people

[Eternalover78]

The concept of the serie was great

[yourLoyalBaron]

Haha. Even the lions and tigers looked bored watching him change.

[Voodoofox3]

panter!!!

[jimmychuang]

it is funny

[kalasbra77]

at 1:36 - 1:37 he gives a bad ass look to the tiger.

[d4dark]

One of the best of its times

[TheAnTnAz]

I only looked this up cause it was mentioned in Hot tub Time Machine..

[Ravenixrising]

Love how the tiger turns away like 'well that was shit.'

[MrPleiadian]

lol

[mjohnson801]

good thing he never had to change in a hurry

[jayce79]

They should bring back this show honestly.

[SuperXAsh]

loved the expressions on the big cats "WTF?!?!?" O.o

[sonyandnintendio]

@SuperXAsh i agree with the big cats XD

[Vehement00]

That was a cool (back in its day) but way too slow transformation. Was the guy confronting the tiger, leopard, and lion? Wouldn't he be mauled by them during the transformation? If he's fighting people, wouldn't they gun him down during the transformation?

[robskyd]

I loved this as a kid, but it hasn't aged well has it !!

[chupetincosmico20]

excellent television series, with very loose but good, jajaja

[kchsn88]

the animorphs could have used him :)

[MrYounglondon]

right this is my childhood movie and i was alwayss asleep before i got a chance to watch it....particularly because it was broadcasted late.

[closelynibbledgrass]

he looked like the cat from sabrina the teenage witch

[SacrificerPS3]

my god, the music!

And could he breathe any louder?

[adonaimusical]

adorava esat serie

[akhon]

If I'm not mistaken, this was one of Stan Winston's earliest gigs.

[PerianArdocyl]

1:30 Haha, he transformed into a huge stuffed animal. xD

[ryu8888]

The lion was like O______O"

[macandcheese306]

wtf? ew

[Lynchdude1]

LOL at the end he looks like a stuffed animal!

[allanseeder]

is the black panther or just panther a seperate species or as some say it is a jaguar, just black...

[allanseeder]

I have not seen this clip for 15 years... thanks ! Was looking for that so long

[backpackcamera]

OH look it's american werewolf in London... but shit.

[TheManofimpossible]

73 people don't like panthers.

[patsyd80]

So glad I found this. All my life I thought I made the whole thing up in my head but it i real. Now I gotta find another show I kinda reember. Its like knight rider but its a motorbike that can turncorners really fast. Anyone kow the ttle? same time as this show ?

[backpackcamera]

@patsyd80 it could be one of 2 shows you're thinking of Street Hawk or Automan

[patsyd80]

@backpackcamera your right my mind has some how molded the 2 together over the years. But yeah both classic shows from my youth.

[backpackcamera]

@patsyd80 the only reason I know is cos I did the same thing - I remembered Street Hawk, but I thought the bike could turn at 90 degree angles, then stumbled across Automan while watching all these old clips of these 80s shows, classics from my childhood

[pilarxita100]

yo de verdad creia en manimal hasta me hiperventilaba tratando de convertirme jajajajajaja

[silverzhawk]

loved this as a kid, show should have had a longer run.

[FrostFireKirby]

Lol, that must be the first time I see a werepanther :)

[apollonas101]

erm what was the whole point changing into flippin animal anyway!

[Myitt]

If Animorphs (the books, which were amazing, unlike the Nickelodeon show) had been made into a syndicated TV show in the early '80s...and starred...this guy.

[Deadnsd]

@Myitt DUDE RIGHT ON MAN>>>THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN EPIC!!! STOPPED READING AT BOOK 19..LOL

[johnyliltoe]

Obviously not a superhero. If he was, he'd probably be shot 10 times while transforming whenever he went to attack the villain.

[mark150ca]

lolololololololol

[archeduardo]

I only watched this because cinema snob mentioned it in the NC review of Jaws 3d

[Thornicus626]

@archeduardo That's the only reason I looked it up as well. :D

[sansomstudios]

@archeduardo Dito I also only click on this video in specific because the snob said he turned into a cat to peek down some girls dress :P

[bairanax00]

@archeduardo

and i remenbered just or that

review jajajaja

[MrFeeltheElectro]

@archeduardo I only watched this because I was told it was canceled because of satanic subliminals.

[JonnyThePocketRocket]

@archeduardo i watched it becasue Brad did a whole top 10 video dedicated to manimal :)

[maxheedrum100]

@archeduardo Be brave and admit it, don't try to blame it on someone else now, you know you enjoyed it LOL !!! That was creepy for it's time.

[pinklavigne231]

@archeduardo BuddyTV, "Our 25 Favorite Superheroes." It was commended for being one of the "best worst shows on TV."

[TiniNormi]

I like how every shitty transformation scene in the 80's relied almost exclusively on bladder effects.

[DaddyWalrusguy]

Lame! Seeing American werewolf in London make this show look like pansys

[khfanboy666]

@DaddyWalrusguy hey, the effects guy was Stan Winston, academy award winner for effects. The producers could have hired a lot worse

[OcIoInFoRmAtIvO]

THIS IS A CLASSIC !!!

[moozicx]

cool it's like animorphs but crappyier

[dascooker]

WTF kinda video is this.mananimal,how many people were facinated by this back in the day

[ANTONIODS2000]

loved it

[THEGAMERWORLD2]

Oh,i miss the 80`s !

[dertischler20]

ick hab auch mal so am fenster gestanden...is aber nix passiert :D

[WolfAndEagel]

cool fursuit! lol

[TheBeautyfulBeast]

slooow ^^

[virginie84000]

manimal aurait du etre censuré en france ! les transformations me faisait trop peur !

[maxlogica]

Even the leopard got bored and started rolling around waiting for that prick to transform...

[turtlewings]

he looks like a high school mascot near the end there, LOL.

No but I remember this show from my childhood, awesomely goofy.

[AlexMakeupArt]

OOOO

[Rimani]

aaahh this one.. such a funny memories.. how I wished I could transform into panter too xDD

[theskyisfalling100]

uhh.... he looks nothing like a panther...

[robfergusonjr]

I loved watching this show back in the early 80s.

[mestarilapsi]

Heh... Imagine that the evolving would get stuck on the middle and he would be anthro :D

[rickylee86]

Does every transformation scene from the 80s have the persons' skin bubbling?

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

He has no rush. Hey, it´s not easy to turn into another living thing.

[kobratanion]

I remember watching this show as a kid, friday nights was awesome, manimal, chips,hill street blues, a-team, night rider, starsky and hutch, etc. Damn those were the good old days. I wish I could relive those days

[CABS2081]

Como demonios hacian esas escenas en esa época, excelente para una serie de TV.

[DominatedProductions]

LOL the paw

[parlbyview]

the leopard @ 1:41 is like "hey baby what how you doin?"

[dustyleviz]

The lion at :29 is like what the FU@% is happening to you man?

[SupaSix1]

I used to love this.

Wouldnt it be funny if the lion just pounced on him while changing & mauled him to death!

[redpillow100]

i think i remember wanting to turn into a black panther after watching this as a kid.

[KingsWorld2010]

He looks like a retarded black teddy bear. They used second hand blownup condoms to make this scene! lol

[Raid3r45]

Hes got the eye of the tiger
