Fantasy Island TV intro (1978)

[ephemeralthings888]

This would have made a good explanation for lost, Ricardo Montalban could have been in the statue, and smokey could have been tattoo after turning selfish. After decades of poor tourist seasons, ricardo was forced to bring flight 815 down with a surface to air missile.

[RFKFANTS67]

Marsha Brady was lookin good to

[RFKFANTS67]

I love the PLANE:}}}

[bradjbourgeois73]

This show used to scare the crap out of me sometimes when I was a kid, lol!

[robbieaful]

I wish I could of been on this show. I would of wished for Amanda Thomison as my girlfriend.

[cyndassprites]

THE PLANE! THE PLANE!

[SammEater]

Tatto should totally wish to be big (or you know being the guy who controls the island).

[idris09]

@MrTrackfreek Dang man. Caps kill.

[lucky44124]

100% of guys fantasies would be threesomes & foursomes! lol

[farfisa]

@lucky44124 how insightful you are.

[coverchenko]

Im gay for Ricardo Montalban.

[nenaluvv]

I would always watch the intro, but at 8 years old I would fall asleep soon after, always regretting missing FI the next day :)

[davidst489]

the plane!!  the plane!!!!

[MrKevinSchram]

da plane! da plane!

[Megazord5]

Wouldn't Tattoo'a fantasy be to NOT be a midgit!

[2011TREADSTONE]

Tatoo was also in the Bond movie 'The man with the golden gun' he commited suicide some years ago by shooting himself with a 357 Magnum

[rollymadmax]

thumbs up if ur watchin this in 2011

[noisepuppet]

Mr Rourke is such a dick.

[MegaTrainspotter]

is this series out on d.v.d? anyone know?

[INSANITY8SFINEST]

@MegaTrainspotter YES IT IT ON BESTBUY.COM



[RicardoClement]

Selfish little bastard, no wonder he ended up in a suitcase...



[fjruso]

It's Marcia! Marcia, marcia, marcia!

[jimbopumbapigsticks]

The guy who played Tattoo was a bit of sex fiend by all accounts.

[UltraMegaRoboPunch]

What kind of M&Ms does Tattoo like the best?

DA PLAIN, DA PLAIN!!

[choosing2lookeast]

@UltraMegaRoboPunch LOL Good one!



[chandlerherbert2]

Ricardo Montalban this guy had quite a speaking accent! One of my partners favorite television shows. I dig the music!

[TheRobert2254]

boss boss the plain 

[edstar83]

My dad always loved this show.

[bobbydj01]

Not as good as Love Boat...but then, what is??

[Noman0127]

"KHAAAAAAAAAAANNNN!!!!"



[alanwhite]

DE PLANE!

[greentadpole1]

ahh Kirk, my old friend....

[CATHERINEDAVIES123]

The plen the plen lol..loved this show..

[zrice03]

I love how Roarke is surprised that Tattoo has fantasies. It's almost as if Tattoo's a person or something!

[fivebearrugs]

I wonder if Ricardo and Herve are doing this in Heaven now...lol

[lynthusiasm]

The plane! The plane!

[cantehondo]

It's obvious that Herve should have been cast as the Boss and Montalban as the lackey. 

[ilovesexilovenaked]

was Ricardo Montalban in this meant to be God himself?

[cyberzonie]

The plane! The Plane!

[maccafan10]

Tattoo, could you lend me some money ?

Thorry bothh no, I'm a little short thith week.

[lukesta12]

1:45 his fantasy is he probably wish for his freedom so he wouldn't have to serve drinks and kiss his bosses feet everyday

[mistofoles]

What a short-arse!

[mrjoey246]

the little guy

[MrTrackfreek]

NOW MR.ROURKE WAS AND IS THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD.SORRY DON EQUIS.MR ROURKE COULD MAKE IT RAIN OR SEND YOU BACK IN TIME OR PULL DEATH RIGHT OUT OF YOU.YOU CAN'T FUCK WITH THAT MR.EQUIS.

[suzycreamcheesez]

@MrTrackfreek What's with the caps?

[MrTrackfreek]

@suzycreamcheesez BIG LETTERS FOR A BIG MAN.

[johnnyray1717]

What's up with the sound? This sucks! The show is good, but c'mon, audio is terible.

[toph2223]

Gotta love midgets!

[davidincal1969]

Obviously the two sub-plots in the show were produced at different times given the break in continuity with Tattoo's haircut.

[SpikeChaosBleeds]

Eric The Midget, lol

[krapptacular]

LOL I feel old. : )  Thay plane boss !

[SombreroKing100]

de plen!

de plen!

[tpezz1]

I THINK MARRIED WITH CHILDREN & THE SIMPSONS WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF ALL GOOD ENTERTAINMENT... NOTHING BUT STUPIDITY & DISRESPECT...:0/

[tpezz1]

Nothing like originality back then... Entertainment was REAL entertainment! From FANTASY ISLAND, LAND OF THE LOST, LOVE BOAT, GILLIGAN's ISLAND, I LOVE GEENIE, GOOD TIMES, SANFORD & SON, THE JEFFERSONS, ALL IN THE FAMILY, EIGHT IS ENOUGH, PARTRIDGE FAM, BRADY BUNCH, SONNY & CHER, CAROL BURNETT, MILLION $ MAN, BIONIC WOMAN, THE HULK, KNOTTS LANDING, DYNASTY, FALCON CREST, EDGE OF KNIGHT, pssssss, the list goes on forever...:0/

Today tv shows lack respect, family values & morals...

I THINK MARRI

[killenmedstil]

"Da plane, da plane" hahahahahahahahaha. Tattoo cracks me up!

[WhoCaresFU]

Back when men ran and directed the TV studios (and the US), we were entertained. Now look at the TV we have. Wonderful isn't it? I watch NO TV today and am happy about it. Nothing will ever be the same. Life will just become more and more miserable. I hope you all " feel" better about it. Or maybe we could just talk about it (you feminized morons)....

[PaulineGeorge26]

I miss shows like this - just some escapist fare. I am so sick of the CSI type shows on TV right now that show the inside of some dead mutilated body or reality shows with screwed up, outrageous people on it.

[carmelgoddess612]

i miss primetime Tv fro the 70s 80s and 90s man we were entertained

[WhoCaresFU]

@carmelgoddess612 --and man was still in charge.  Offensive, aren't I?

[DBMScorchy]

I miss how Fantasy Island and Love Boat used to have guest stars all the time. I don't even know if the "business" side of TV has room for that anymore, unless its on some reality show :(

[skeeta1068]

Smiles everyone, smiles!

[zshaw7549]

The plane...the plane!

[gallupi1965]

WOW....Tattoo got a haircut off-screen between 3:44 and 4:10!!

[FixFalcon]

@gallupi1965 haha, nice catch

[sup3rmunky]

Didn't MF Doom sample this theme?

[paulc4567]

Ricardo Montalban was buried in a 1983 Chrysler Cordoba, lined with rich, Corinthian Leather.

[tatorsal]

R.I.P. Tattoo hope your fantasies came true

[rees276]

weird but wonderful

[CEOkiller]

Tattoo must have went to Peter Brady's hairdresser...

[CasperTheBoss]

0:24 "Ze plane! Ze plane!"

[lub2001]

cordova

[VANHELSING433]

be a great idea for a scam

[Leatherbubba]

Hahahah. Laugh with me,Tattoo. Laugh with me!

[the1truebakasama]

Marsha Marsha Marsha

[vodude]

Always loved it when Mr Rourke would say... "Smiles everyone. Smiles!"

[TheSkuLLcomedyShow]

Does anybody remember Ricardo in the old Chrysler commercials? Fine Corinthian Leather...

[AlannTH]

ahh sunday afternoons whern nothing decent was on, had to watch this.

[stephanos68]

The LOST inspiration

[somewhatlongdong]

I wonder what Ricardo Montalban is up to these days

[SpectreNUT]

@somewhatlongdong Hmmm.... if you are being serious, then Ricardo Montalban passed away last year, or the year before, I believe. In addition to being Mister Rourke, to me he will always be..... KHAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

[EminenceShade]

@SpectreNUT didn't herve what's his name top himself?

[TheSkuLLcomedyShow]

@somewhatlongdong...About 6 feet of dirt!

[arsenalmccormack]

if i was on fantasy island i would just say hi to mr rourke and the kid in the white suit, grab a free daceri and get out of there.

[skateboardingownz]

Cooolll

[alex062395]

@mrmcshitz i was thinkin the exact same thing. Dont remember him gettin tossed around like that but yes, must have been demeaning no matter how much they were payin em. Kinda sad really.

[Miracle490d]

That first girl was Marcia Brady. I was searching for Jan Brady's episode and got this. not the best results.

[Miracle490d]

I can't understand what either of them says after the worker in the candy store crack. Was that no way? Rork doesn't offer employee discounts. I wouldn't like working for him. I'm with tatoo. LOL

[TheDalewebb]

i fucken hated tattoo, fix that speech inpediment half man...

[AngelofDeadlySin]

@TheDalewebb By the sounds of it, I take it you won't be watching the movie called ' The King's Speech'. Remember my child, every person has a fault of their own; some people like other people's faults, while other mock. This would of been on his mind 365 days a year 24 hours a day 7 days a week about his speech impediment.....

[TheDalewebb]

yup yur rite, ive seen the error of my comments. sorry to offend, but he still shits me every time i see that bloody intro :)

[somewhatlongdong]

@TheDalewebb Tattoo enjoyed the company of well-endowed gentlemen.

[danim371]

I believe poor tattoo committed suicide?

[carbonbodyworker]

@danim371 Yeh he hijacked a plane and crashed it.

Poor bastard

[TheDalewebb]

@carbonbodyworker was he muslim????

[guitarbo1]

"KHAAAAANNNNN! KHAAAANNNNNN!"

"Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!"

[shmuli9]

I watched this every week, but looking back, it was EXTREMELY silly...

[thatsMYbeef]

ohhh thankgod for youtube...i don't know what i'd do if it wasn't for youtube to take me back...lol..thkyou : )

[TwistedScott397]

this is a rip off of the 1974 james bond movie the man with the golden gun, nik-nak and mr scaramoonga.

[MrMcShitz]

I used to watch this show every week as a child. Funny, I don't remember Ricardo picking up Tattoo and tossing in the jeep and then lifting him out and tossing him around like a little kid. How demeaning that must have been for him tv star or not.

[gingermagicman]

If it can fufil any fantasy... why is he still a midget?

[HistoryofTek]

this show was always on after "The Love Boat"......classic memory....

[amcstudio30]

@HistoryofTek Thease were the times when pepole went home and watched sum of this good tv and not be out in the streets causeing trouble

[rleaf42]

@HistoryofTek Wow you remmeber that



[HistoryofTek]

@rleaf42 yep.....Love Boat came on at 9 and Fantasy Island came on at 10 ....the 70's were great....

[23HappyApples]

@HistoryofTek for me too!



[botaaurreragogor]

Damn...Marcia is the most beautiful actress...

[ticket88]

Marsha Marsha Marsha!

[cohen11731]

@ticket88

lol!

[webbhead92]

I hated this show. Looking back starting school in 80 was actually a blessing in disguise.

[MrMojoRisinII]

Da da plane! Da plane doughnut!!!!

[sluggo06]

RIP

What do u think happens after we die?

[PhilWithCoffee]

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

[ricardodegilmonde]

i loved it when i was young

[sammys70]

F*cking tatoo!!I love this tv show.I miss the 80's

[joe61360]

i never understood how Mary Whitehouse missed the fact that the island was actually a naked woman,,i cant remember her complaining

[stoltobot]

da pleen! da pleen!

[kzoframe39]

Yep right after Love Boat. And Fantasy Island actually had some risque and even fairly hardcore story lines. Mr. Rourke takes on Lucifer? This show got serious sometimes.

But now, I can't see Mr. Montalban without thinking of him in long hair quoting Shakespeare to Kirk.

[bloodshotclam]

@Fabster3333 What part did Ricardo Montalban play of in the show?

[SvalbardJanMayen1976]

I run a tour agency, but I wish it was as good ar Ricardo Monteblocs! I'm an asshole with Yank idiots....fuck them anyways...

[71jav]

I'll never forget the episode when the woman said, "Elizabeth, come to me". I couldn't sleep for days!

[txwildcat60]

Sorry to say I truly did not like Fantasy Island in the 70' BUT watching this opening brought back long lost nice memories. Why am I not surprised that Maureen McCormick's character wants to be the most beautiful woman in the world??! LMAO

It's a shame that Ricardo Mantalban and Herve Villechaize passed on many years ago.

[ladwigs]

This show was on Saturday night after Love Boat

when i was little

[scaremengaviation]

OMG! That short guy plays Nick Nack in Goldfinger!

[EnglshRoc]

Mareen Mcormick (Marsha Brady)was in this ep I c

[EnglshRoc]

The Ep I memebee the most is Ricardo Mataban character was willing to give his soul in a game with the Devil to save some guest on his island but i was like 10 then in cant remember if it was a guy guest or a girl but i believe it was a girls soul he saved from Lucifer???

[cheapcape]

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!

[dickrammer69]

2:54 To Tattoo... Perhaps, just perhaps this may be the flight that brings one of your fantasies to light. Pan over to Marsha Brady...ah Tattoo no... :(

[dickrammer69]

2:54 To Tattoo... Perhaps, just perhaps this may be the flight that brings one of your fantasies to light. Pan over to Marsha Brady...ah Tattoo no... :(

[sammys70]

I loved Ricardo Montalban in "the naked gun files from police squad"with leslie neilson.He was great.

[cheapcape]

@sammys70 Yeah, Ricardo is great in this show too.

[pbanta62]

Tattoo: Who is that?

Rourke: That is Mister Iaccoca, his fantasy is to save an American car company from bankruptcy and sell a luxurious car with seats of rich--corinthian--leather. Buried alive--Buried alive....

[KijkOnsNou]

Khaaaaaaaaaaannnnn!!!!!

[Jimbo65134]

@KijkOnsNou seriously... LOL!

[KijkOnsNou]

@Jimbo65134 ;)

[horus1971]

This was great TV.  But today we have American idol and Dancing with stars! ohhh my.

[WildBill6942]

Ah yes, Saturday nights growing up. The Love Boat followed by Fantasy Island. Was there anything better?

[szymczyk77]

@WildBill6942

ah yes, gettin laid.....

[WildBill6942]

@szymczyk77 - good one, although I was 8 years old so that was out of the question.

[sldl04]

@WildBill6942

I remember it well. I was in my early teens when this and the Love Boat were popular. Love Boat at 9pm and Fantasy Island at 10. I was allowed to stay up late on Saturdays to watch em both.  What the hell happened to good TV like this???

[KijkOnsNou]

@sldl04 We got 'Lost': an island, a plane, lots of fantastic adventures.

[derpestarzt]

@sldl04 Are you seeing planes?...Is your name Tattoo because I swear to God you're living on Fantasy Island

[xvoy2002]

I think this is the espisode where the brady bunch visit the island and Marcia finally gets to live her fantasy of being a high priced call girl!

[msmithstud]

it was always bath time for me when i heard this intro play on Saturday nights. i wouldn't bath until i heard da plane da plane.

[eastnybabe]

A classic...loved it

[BigDutch100]

a friendly version of LOST !

[youtoo5ify]

@lalillith Mr. Roarke was also classy, a far cry from what frequently passes for men these days.

[persianlady55]

this was also a good show loved it miss it

[GenXAccord]

The first lady off the plane is non other than Marcia Brady...the original one.

[dreapster]

No, F the New NEW World Order, you know the one with the robot monkey zombies destined to overrun the Old Old World Disorder. I mean Or..no wait, yeah, definitely disorder.

[chaoscast]

marcia brady ..... oh my god! ;D

beautiful =)

[aaronthebox]

DA PLANE, DA PLANE!!

[FOBmuzungu]

damn good show...damn good acting

[pault112]

the plane the plane

[TheLegendfamily]

@pault112: "Da plane, Boss, da plane!!" - LOL!!

[popnutty]

I always loved this program as a little kid. Nice plot with mostly happy endings! Love it! Smiles everyone ..smiles..CLASSIC! I so remember that. Tattoo's da' man! Chicks pretty hot too!.. NOT Marcia, lol.

[antonjon1]

@itallxit2 What has the NWO got to do with this video?

[sf4arcade]

Wow, I never knew it was from 1978 to 1984. Over here in Europe it started to broadcast in 1984. At the time I was a very little kid who just came from kindergarten. I learned a lot of English by watching these 80's series.

[jones13013]

Previously on LOST....

[darrylduke]

I was 18 years old when this show first came on tv, and it's amazing how something like this can bring back old memories and emotions from that time.

[acla9000]

That's right. YouTube is, above all, a chest of memories...

[RingMaster43542]

thats a brady on the island

[4SCARECROWS]

Welcome to Fantasy Island !!

[RealianURTV]

@4SCARECROWS where all your dreams come true.

[avidalocan]

Anyone notice any similarity between this and Dr Evil and Mini-me? It's more than just a guy with a dwarf. Dr Evil also runs an island and keeps interesting and famous company (Frau Farbissiner, Mustafa, Rob Lowe (#2) and Robert Wagner). And there's a similar type of dialog exchange between them.

[McChipChip]

Has anyone noticed that Tatoo's hair style changed three times during this clip, my wife did, 

[RAZOR2177]

i didnt before but me and my g/f went bk and watched and he got a haircut during the same clip.

[ciulee]

That man was the villain in " The Naked Gun " !!

[Manwithjeep]

I thoroughly enjoyed this show way back when but funny enough the guest stars it seemed were mostly 'has beens'. Still good though.

[lowridercolombia]

tattoo ?? tatuaje or tatu ?? what signific the name ???

[abombinreverse]

KAAAGGHHHHHNNNNNNN !!!!

[sweetlilchickie1985]

0:25 Da plane, da plane! :D Classic.

[Pulsar205]

@sweetlilchickie1985 me and my dad used to laugh about that all the time!

[RAZOR2177]

sounded like a goat lol

[VikingThor1]

Smiles everyone, smiles !  : )

[heronblackmane]

@VikingThor1

More like "esmiles everyone, esmiles!"

[Cylon1975]

This was a good show that was broadcasted, as far as I remember, in 1988/1989, here in Portugal, at 13,30 PM! Yes, in the lunch break of school!!!

Does anyone remember a scene where a beautifull girl undresses his robe in front of Mr. Rourke, on his office, to show her "attributes" to him, in order to participate on a beauty contest (it is not the Sally Quinn's episode)?

Can anyone tell me the season and the episode that corresponds to that scene? Mr. Rourke got very embarassed!

[acla9000]

@Cylon1975 In front of him?? I really don't remember that. The most alike episode is when a lady becames much younger and desirable because of her negligent husband who was the owner of a girlie magazine. The photographer persuades her to take her robe off but Mr. Roarke arrives just in time to impede it.
