UFO SHADO Mobiles attack

[tobar9561]

I AM IN S.H.A.D.O. SUPER COOL CLIP.WATCH FOR THE MOVIES COMMING SOON BASED ON THIS SERIES.

[Splitskirts]

One of the best combat scenes from the show, both combining " depth charging " and straight out " direct fire - shooting ". The " S.H.A.D.O. Mobile's " were one of my favourites along with the " Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle " or " SPV " from " Captain Scarlett and the Mysterons ". I had a small metal toy " Mobile " that when you pressed a button the roof opened to show missile launcher which fired 1 x missile at a time. Imagine if they made a computer - console game !!!Regards.

Watch out! Hobby-town's being scorched by the aliens and the army! I love Meddings' pyrotechnics.

This episode always stuck in my mind from childhood as a fab shootout from this show. Wow it takes me back. Thanks for posting it.

not very accurate those 1980s depth charge timers, set them to 10 seconds he said not seven.

[roybatty100]

Brilliant entertainment,that particular epsode is very creepy 10/10

[ytbigjim]

jolly good old boy

[leokimvideo]

Have to admit Derek Meddings, he had a huge influence on my life; Ended up being the work I chose for life, and drives my youtube channel

That's brilliant, Those SHADO Mobiles are tough, they were both still up after the UFO attack. I had a toy one as well as a kid, my brother had an Interceptor.

[centurion180ad]

@MoveOnSoulClub This particular video has the mobiles pulling off an ambush of a known UFO position, so they come off pretty well.  That was rarely the case. Most of the time a lone mobile would be sent to a suspected landing site, and more often that not would get blown away with all the crew buying a farm. The infantry guys that dismounted came off even worse. I do not remember any dimounted mobile troopers that ever managed to survive. Mortality rate 100%.

I had a diecast Intercepter as well back in the 1970s but it was a dark blue while the one in the series was a pearly white.

[geristelm]

For me, the Shado Mobile was one of the most believable sci-fi vehicles ever. I'd love to see someone build a full scale one.

This episode is 'Sound of Silence' In the episode, not even birds sounded next to the lake with the UFO. But if anyone notices a bird chirps as soon as the Mobile launches the depth charge. A sigh of relief on the part of the bird??? Haha!!!

Y'know, I haven't seen this show since I was a kid, but those effects really do hold up!

Derek Meddings was a master!

The cinematographer deserves some credit, too.

[vibemaestro]

Holy flashback. Used to have a diecast metal Interseptor. Lost the little missle for the front though

[odiemodie1]

Same here, mate. I have a working die-cast model of the SHADO mobiles and I lost the little missles on mines' too!

[RQ3ATIERMINUS3]

E-bay has them, $4-600 now, but you can get the missle for 15 bucks:) Mine is green with white Nuke:),cant believe it made it from 1970:) 39 years ago=SHEESH!, even my $150 dollar 63 fender stratocaster electric guitar went thru the roof in price also.. Time Fly's.

[Mezzurchadnezzah]

Ahh, they just don't make sci-fi like they used to.

*sigh*

[RQ3ATIERMINUS3]

:) so true, now it's all come true:).

[me4trd]

This was one of the greatest scenes in the UFO series, I think. Thanks for posting it!

[salvachis]

[salvachis]

LO QUE NO SE ME OLVIDA, ESO SI ES LA MUSICA, EL ROSTRO DEL COMANDANTE STRAIKER Y LAS PELUCAS DE LAS CHICAS ( jijijiji) ES INCONFUNDIBLES

[salvachis]

[lewisner]

Great post! I loved the sound the UFOs made.Must have been a bummer for the guys in those Mobiles ;-(

[sergiote01]

Esta serie me trae muy buenos recuerdos de mi infancia... ojala suban mas videos...gracias por los buenos momentos que revivi

[boggles90]

shame that no-one puts the good old crafting time in for those anymore, all done with cgi now, this is far better than any cgi! :D

[AbsolomDaak]

Indeed. You can't beat good model work. And that's coming from someone who does CGI for a living! :-)

[colonelfoster]

bloody hell.. where those models...very impressive...er I think cgi is bollocks compared to that.WOW
