  • It all has to do with politics almost, this battle sequence, i think the interpretation here is the Salvadorian military behavior against revolutionist is suppose to be like synonymous to the V's behavior with the human and these Salvadoran rebels as the fifth column resistance, since during this civil war every one who was suspected of being against the El Salvador government was hunted down and murdered systematically, countless massacres happened there

  • As many of you, I love and prefer the 1983-1984 original miniseries. I watched the 2009 new version but I didn't like it. Of course the 2009 version is more modern, with computer-aided special effects. But I consider this new version boring with no soul. Just two examples : the red uniforms and the mothership of the 1980's Vs! They were both fascinating and frightening. Especially for the kids we were 25 years ago :) The 2009 version just made me feel like watching again the 1983-1984 one. 

  • the saddest thing is that the original v's storyline never reached it's conclusion.

  • oh thank you! did I say thank you? REEEEALLLY THANK YOU THANK YOU THANNNNNKK YOOOU for this <3

  • I'm beginning to realise how amazingly intelligent V was! I remember this as a child!

  • the world is not ending in 2012.

  • dude, i think u should win an award for the most tag words in one youtube video.

  • Thank you for uploading V the best show an 8yr old could wish for after an Atari

  • I loke this version a fucking hell of a lot better than the new one! Humanity at least wins in THIS one! The other is a sick joke!

  • in the book, Ham Tyler is in the chopper

  • Jane Badler was one hot lizard

  • awesome series

  • i guess the reason the first serie was so great, imo , is that they were inspired by the events that lead to ww2, the rise of the nazi party in germany

  • @Frequent2001 Well not only ww2 rise and fall of nazi germany, but also by other inspirations like the cold war, the Freedom fighters or The Fifth Column for example were inspired by other people too, like these El Salvador Rebels, and i find it ironically that in real life there was a Salvadorian man named José Castellanos Contreras who helped save up to 40,000 Jews and Central Europeans from nazi persecution by providing them with false papers of Salvadorian nationality.

  • I hate the new series, the original better

  • @rexrex118 amen, man! good to see a like minded person! the ending was sick and disgusting! a TRAVESTY!

  • @libertyphoenix777 I hope i dont see the ending in the new V  series

  • Oh man!! I just say..Jane Badler.!! I worshipped the ground she walked on!! Back then as a young teen,I had the most incredible HOTS for her which caused certain twiches in specified areas..(well..Jane Badler AND Samantha Fox)*blush* Dammit!!!She´s even hotter in the new series!

  • I dont think I can watch the original series in the same light anymore, everytime I see Diana I start to cringe, thinking she is mother of Anna. And I find Anna absolutely revolting, in a good way I guess since she is a villain.

  • Comment removed

  • I can watch this over and over. I saw the first ep of the new version once and had no interest in watching further. American television doesn't know how to tell a story anymore.

  • @AJStarhiker Me too!I fully understand.I only watched the first episode of the new version and got bored quite fast.It is worthless,with no interest.

  • Damn. I'm not sure who is more retarded - the white journalist or the asian journalist. Either way, they're great candidates for future Darwin awards.

  • I'll take the original V over the remake any day!

  • @KTAVERILL ME TOO, THE NEW CRAP SUCKED ASS! I HATE WHEN THE GOOD GUYS LOSE!

  • @KTAVERILL same here and this was the birth of my addiction to scifi as a kid ever since the origonal started back in its day:)

  • The first 7 minutes of this clip is WAY better and more believable than the first 7 episodes of the V reboot 2nd season.

    Something tells me the new "V" is written by kids, VFX folks and marketing executives and not artists who understand drama and have something to say.

  • Comment removed

  • I love this version. It brings back so many memories of growing up in the 80's. We were so excited to watch it when it first aired! Thanks for downloading it!

  • Rob is the sweetest ... as usual ;D <3

  • so its V-day today... i dont have a boyfriend to go hangout with or whatever.... but it is V-day... so im gonna stay home and watch the whole series of V. sounds like a much better time to me

  • Was this the same as the movie?did diana appear in the film version?

  • this is crap. tv/movies have come a LONG way. i cant watch more than 5 min of this.

  • the new one is rubish

  • @ricoq13 I thought it was okay, it couldn't beat the original though

  • both old and new are VERY DRAMATIC. I like both. :)

  • David packer was cute!but I saw a pic of him recently,not the same cute guy anymore.

  • For me, - I mean : in my mind- the new so-called "V" simply doesn't exist ! I simply ignore its existence... I don't even understand how they dared creating a sequel to the 1980s series,and call it "V" ! It simply has nothing to do with it ! Hopefully, we don't have it yet in France, and I hope we will never; I just want to keep the souvenirs of the good old series that I used to watch as a child in the eighties ! And I hope they won't dare creating a movie, as they like to do !!!

  • @zdzbzrz sadly cuz theres no more creativity and new ideas anymore

  • @zdzbzrz you suck!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how true!!

  • The Mayan calender is bullsh*t.

  • wtf estupid chet

  • Makes me think i am an adult and no longer a teen:!lol!i have a few wrinkles more!lol!it was a very creepy series!sometimes I was very afraid by the green lizards!lol!my favourite characters were julie parrish,donovan,Robin and beautiful daniel.I identified myself to Robin.I was around the same age and i found her very pretty as a young lady.

  • The new V is miles away form this. This was a lot more insidious and well developed. The new one... a resistance of 4 guys?? Come on!! It's clearly a very low budget series so maybe it does pick up on Season 2 as it's getting some good reviews. Still I don't understand how the new V gets a Season 2 and Firefly was cancelled...

  • @kutusov88

    Not to mention that the new V went totally flacid mid-season. Nothing happened for like 4 episodes. It almost got a soap opera/drama feel to it at one point. There was nothing like that in the old V.

    So yeah, I totally agree.

  • It’s film’s like this that make me wish Mystery Science Theater was still on the air. Joel (or Mike), Crow and Tom Servo would be ripping this movie apart.

  • @cv73501

    Boy, u have no idea what U'r talking about. The point of MST was not to rip old movies apart if they had been good. This was, and in away, still is. MST was ripping apart old movies that are bad, there's a huge difference. This is so old that MSC would have done this, if they wished.

  • People, the French govt recently published in excess of three hundred unidentified flying object written documents not to mention pix! Never before seen! Check it out at ufosecretXnet (replace X with . )

  • @NACHOTUBY your website link is dead pls could you leave me a message on my channel with the correct address so i can check it out ty

  • awesome. i loved this series when it was on tv. so much better than the new one :)

  • Underrated "Movie" imo. I love this movie/miniseries/whatever the fuck you want to call it.

  • The new V rocks!

  • a similar event is going to happen, where supposed aliens(demons) will come and decieve the whole world into going against God

  • It starts out slow.

  • Is this the very very first episode before the battle and the tv series and all that

  • Yes it is...I still remember that ;...when it first aired,it starts with the fight in El Salvador (an event that was current for real,back then...),and you see that reporter (whose name -you learn later- is Donovan...) covering the war...

  • great stuff ive searched the net for this....thanks for the upload

  • No doubt : the music just when he turns and sees the mothership for the first time kills...and that vision of the huge mothership and the hills in the background...unique !! N.B. : I won't watch the new series(fortunately,we don't have it yet in France [I hope we'll never have it ...] )

  • once u've seen avatar, u start wondering if humans are better than the v's!!! we are as fucked up and as greedy as them!! we disserve to be exterminated

  • not all humans

  • The guy that rallied and led them all to victory was Human.

  • .... avatar was a work of fiction.

  • I was telling my students about the 80s version i watched when i was a kid.

    Cheers Childhood memories revisited.

  • child hood remembered cheers

  • i like the music

  • An interesting theme as well is that its briefly mentioned that the visitors are fighting a galactic war against an unknown civilisation. And that they intend to use humans to bolster up there armies.

  • The book V The Second Generation which is set 20 years after the visitor occupation shows that the resistance's call for help was finally answered the race the visitors were at war with (an insectoid race) come to help but people start to question who is worse. (a parallel to the soviets during WWII and then after WWII)

  • It sound good. I thought the new "V" it will be the The Second Generation. I don't why they tried to remake this. The new is not good enough.

  • Originally it was going to be the second generation but ABC who still had the tv rights went against what Kenneth Johnson the creator of V wanted and wanted to make their own.

  • I was very dissappointed in the remake of V. They had something excellent and they screwed it all up. If they keep the fast pace up it will all be over by episode 4 with nothing left to reveal.

  • Comment removed

  • I have this and the other one Final battle...on VHS

  • the new one, it revealed too much in the first episode....I mean in the first 45 min you find out that the Visitors are evil, and are really reptiles. It took a couple episodes to find out in the 80's version

  • @pika23 Well, we already knew they were evil reptiles so nothing got revealed.

  • Oh yeah, well I knew that the Visitors were evil and reptiles before it even aired lol. Yeah, they shouldn't have revealed so much so fast.

  • @pika23 Yes, but that was done on purpose because many V watchers had already seen the original miniseries, so they already knew the Vs are evil. The producers didn't want to drag out are-they-good-or-evil when most watchers already knew.

  • @HermitObsessor i dont think the intended audience for the new V was the same people that watched the old one 20 years ago

  • @pika23 ya but in the eighties one they only had orginal a few eps overall...just long ones...whreas the new ones trying to do it by seasons so some things happen quicker and others are slower

  • @pika23 Everything about the new "V" is complete lunacy.... Who was in charge for that show even going on the air?!...  Its lunacy!

  • I liked the new V... and i watched this on TV about 25-ish years ago.

    All along the first episode of the new V i was waiting for the pregnant woman to eat the rat, i liked how thay are doing the new one, specially because most of us know what it is about and, if not, there's always an uncle ready to spoil it.

    I can borrow mine.

    I still think that refried series and movies and comic/book/cartoon-based movies are crap... but i really liked this new Anna and her V

  • @pika23 i hated the new tv show.. it was terrible on all points

  • @pika23 pretty safe assumption that they were evil. not like the show was going to be about them coming here and living happily ever after with us humans.

  • @pika23 right, well as a first time viewer you have now spoiled it for me before it even began!

  • @pika23 The 80's version is a billion times way better.The new version is bad,worthless,i watched one episode and got bored!!zero!!!!!!it's fake and without emotions,and suspense.

  • @pika23 There were only 2 episodes in the first version

  • @pika23 Yes the 80's version is the best,from far!from very very far even.It had suspense and nobody guessed the real intentions of the aliens.IT took a couple of episodes and the series just started like a fairy tale,with aliens coming on earth with pacifist purposes.

  • The new show is feminized drivel. Almost every male in that show was either incompetent or a lizard.

  • totally agree

  • The FBI chick gave me too much of a Sarah Connor vibe. The episode also progressed too fast, too, and what we have seen of the resistance, especially given the fact that the red-haired guy has been working on this for ages, is laughable.

  • yup---it sux a big donkey dick

    Doesn' hold a candle to the original

  • i thought the new show was really good. But i'm 16 and i never saw the original series. And i dont think alot of people did which means it will get a good amount of viewers and not the crazy people in the cult for the original show to affect its viewership

  • The original series 20+ years later...STILL ROCKS!!!!!..the new series is sooooo bad its painful.

  • Here... mousie, mousie, mousie.

  • earp1673 is an asshole im pretty sure i can whip his ass and take his keyboard away. just so we no longer have to hear or read his bullshit. racist dogs need to be put down. i don't believe you at all.

  • hey, i from El Salvador, they aired this series back in the 80's. they portrayed the civil war in this episode. Its sad that we are famous for that

  • It is not sad, the guerillas fought bravely, they were only sold out by the FMLN. You can't get TV like this now a days, this was liberal TV at its best.

  • Uh oh-- scene of a young black man breaking into a home on a TV series- that will not happen in the new series; prove me wrong.

    Politically incorrect! Unacceptable. Deleted.

    Again; prove me wrong. Instead the character will be a white boy who is guilty of being too much of a bourgeois overachiever; with a "horrible lust" for productivity over and above compassion for his fellow man.

    Can't wait to be found wrong.

  • Dude . . . I think you have something on your shoulder. It's a huge chip, might want to brush it off.

  • Just prove me wrong, or shut your piehole. ASS

  • whoa . . . looks like I stuck a nerve. it's okay, they have medication for that these days.

  • the new series will be cancelled faster than you can say sheet mon fo butta lain me to the bone jackin me up tightly.

  • im so glad you posted this.. people really didn't believe me or remember.

  • Thank you for uploading this. (the tags in the vid descrip are a little much, tho. lol)

  • Thankyou I was trying to find the whole sieries to rewatch befor the new verson comes out.

  • My friend and I are fans of Marc Singer because we think of him as the "King of B's". During the 90's every movie he was in was a wonderful B movie, with the exception of, "If you can see what I hear". That was a great flick.

    Some visual aspects of this series can be seen years later in a movie called ID4.

    Long live Marc Singer.

  • v is the shit

    the remake this fall looks pretty good

  • they reckon this cost a million dollars an episode.

  • So the series is dedicated to all resistance fighters past, present, and future? I wonder if that includes the insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan.

  • You have to watch Rambo III.

    It's really fun to see how things have changed.

  • Don't forget Red Dawn...this was mostly a parable about fascism. A product of its time, but still great fun.

  • Yeah, I totally forgot that movie. There it was the communist threat. Wether it's National-Socialism or Stalinism, both where totalitarian regimes. Somehow it doesn't even matter what's the blueprint for any parables on that topic, since both where anti-democratic.

  • ya...it said to the heroism of the.... Leaves out suicide bombers of school buildings. boohoo somewhere else.

  • OMG I totally forgot about this series I LOVED it as a kid, thanks for posting!

  • For the people who believe in the 2012 bullshit, GET A LIFE! For crying out

    loud, don't we already have enough

    problems in our lives without this junk?

    Only God knows when the End time will come, not some crazy Mayan indian who

    probably wiped his ass with poison ivy.

    Get out of your parents' basement. Reclaim your humanity, get a girlfriend!

    Help make the world a better place. I got

    enough problems already. Goodbye, I'm

    not coming back here soon.

  • I totally agree with you. I mean since the dawn of time people have talked about the end of the world. I mean they were all wrong because we are still here. So the 2012 bull is wrong to.

  • @LarsAlfredson Well, you are right and you are wrong. People have talked about the end of the world for yes, quite some time. But 2012, people who lived for 5000 years ago talked about and many others, should you live in fear for the next 2 years?!. Why?... If it happens it happens.

  • THANK YOU!

  • I'll be so pissed off if we reach December 22nd.

  • Thanks !!!
