@gordonmcghie1985 actually my name is supposed to read T Heckard Man. My first name is Tom and my last is Heckard. so DDDDEEEEerrrrreeeeerrrrRRRRPPPpppppp fail troll
Why wish for time machine, when there is YouTube. Wow!!!! Those were the days. I remember M.A.S.K. My friend had the green motorcycle, which turned into the helicopter.
Oh no venom are shooting at us. I have an idea lets turn the car into a jet. Wel'll totally sue the doors as wings thus exposing our bodies to incoming fire. I did like the cycle/chopper tho.
The thing with these series is, that everything is always portrayed black and white, for example, the distinction between good and evil, 'the good guys' and 'the villains'.
God knew what he was doing when he let man do his thing in the 80's. Mask is one of cartoons that caused me to barely make it out of JHS. Is it me or was cartoons just drawn and displayed better back then.
@blacknite76 No, they were just excellent writers, God had absolutely nothing to do with these people's personal achievements you clouded bible thumper.
@notrueface This remark was too show how this show was really cool in my eyes back in the days. And where do you think your creativity, talents and circumstances to show off your talents comes from GOD! You jackass!
You know the opening them itself is a pretty damn good song. especually for the time it came out. I remember i used to LOVE hearing the opening theme for the song cuz it got me pumped for the actual episode. You don't see many shows with this kind of opening these days. Of course i'm sure people think we're "past" this kinda thing. Though we see people who were big fans of shows like this making movies, and games =).
Best thing about this cartoon was that the episodes were all throught plain action with laser shooting and explosions and all manly stuff, and in every episode the last minute was svaed for a stupid moral and ethnics lesson which had T-Bot nagging to the boy about something like "You should never leave the oven plate on when you leave the house it can cause conflagration! *nag nag nag*"
Those forced morale lessons felt so stupid even back in the 80's when I wacthed this stuff from VHS :P
Masked Crusaders, Working Overtime, Fighting Crime, Fighting Crime! Secret Raiders Who Will Neutralize, As Soon As They Arrive, At The Site Trakker's Gonna Lead The Mission, And Spectrum's Got Such Super Vision! M-M-M-MASK! Is The Mighty Power That Can Save The Day! M-M-M-MASK! No One Knows What Lies Behind The Masquerades! M-M-M-MASK! Always Riding Hot On V.E.N.O.M.'s Trail! Come See The Laser Rays! Fire Away!
Get it? The song is about the unit and what they stand for. Not about the helmets they're wearing which also happen have powered MASK attached to them.
I don't agree with it being the best series ever but it was good during the 1st season before it turned into Pole Position.
The one thing that can't be ingnored is the fact that it had a kick ass theme that was only rivaled by the Thundercats and Silverhawks theme.
I grew up in Mexico so I couldn't afford the toys. No problem .. I MADE THEM MYSELF. I was an art champion so I modeled all the masks (helmets if you will) out of a sticky colored paste (callled "plastilina" ) They came out so bad ass all my friends wanted to borrow them.I wish I had kept them . They were true works of art. I WAS NOT TO BE DENIED!!!!M.A.S.K , THE GREATEST CARTOON SERIES EVER!!!!!
Buddy , the priority for most families there is eating , not toys. I only had a few. My son here has mountains upon mountains of them and do not appreciate how lucky he is..I think we were also lucky...We had MASK the best cartoon ever!!
Funny how as a kid you just make up words to go along with the theme tune. Listening to it now I was way off. When he says M-M-Mask my cousin used to tell on me for swearing because she thought I said bastard!
Omg!! I had totaly forgotten about this cartoon series. Until Now!!! It was one of my favorite show when i was a kid. I used to own theTruck and the Green Chopper-bike as toys. Thanks for the upload.
hell yeah, man! i remember having switchblade (am i rght? - mayhem's heli) n my fren had condor (the green bike). shit, wish i kept them in a nice place.
I may have developed some sorta brain disorder, but I keep playing this over and over. I actually remembered the gist of the cartoon, but couldnt remember the name... until I watched another Youtube vid, and this song was on there!
You have no idea how much I loved this cartoon when I was a kid! I remember all those VHS tapes... they're what killed the family VCR! hah!
This series had alot of Japanese animators right? And becouse of that animaton was superior to many other shows of the time, or so I have read somewhere...yes, excelent use of sources by me;)
I think this one which aired in Europe about at the same time with the US had many french animators etc. I am not sure tbh but I remember the credits a bit...
I've had this theme committed to memory since I was 4 and 5 years old, haha. I'll bring it out every once in awhile at parties and get people rolling around laughing from the memories! A great song from our childhoods...
