B-17 Nightmare

[hotelmario510]

What the fuuuuuu?

[Bshelton18]

The music is PERFECT

[spankinjenkins]

I could've sworn the opening part of this segment where everyone in the plane was getting blown away was inspiration for Transformers the Movie (1986) where the autobots were getting blown away in the shuttle

[Johnlindsey289]

@spankinjenkins

I'm sure it is and this movie was one of the inspirations to Fifth Element and Avatar by James Cameron. Cameron and Besson are huge fans of this movie and the magazine, you can tell Avatar has some similarities to HM with Den/Taarna elements and elements from the magazine incorporated into the movie. It's like he combined Last of the Mohicans, HM, Dune, Star Wars, Nausicaa (aka Warriors of the Wind), Princess Mononoke, Ferngully, Starchaser and Fantastic Planet in a cocktail

[lactoidio]

poor jerk who disliked it. all alone

[SuperZeppelin666]

the scearming is annoying if you listen to probaly about 7 times

[alexsagara87]

where is the navigator??

[TheZookeeper48]

my brother and his roommate watched this and thought it sucked and called me stupid for buying it. In response i said to them "You just don't get it cuz yall aren't smart enough" lol

[sscrystal10]

@TheZookeeper48 what the fuck do they like???

[protector747]

awsome.... even in death.....

[centurion180ad]

“Very few escape my grasp. Even in death my powers continue.”

Don’t bother looking for the bombardier. There is nothing left of him but some canvass scraps, and bloody unidentifiable tissue splattered & frozen on the forward bulkheads.

[SilentRevolver25]

ive seen heavy metal but what does this scene represent

[putinblood]

3:00.... Hallelujah!!! 

[miguel4193]

OMFG !!! 2:49

[vlad007001]

horray for the b17's

[Johnlindsey289]

Fantastic sequence, creeped me out. I saw this movie on TBS in 93 when i was 12 with Rock and Rule, Vampire Hunter D, Robot Carnival, American Pop and Hey Good Looking as i loved them all even taped the uncut versions of Hey Good and Rock and Rule on video as i even bought Vampire Hunter D and Robot Carnival on video when i was 13. I also bought HM when it hit video in 96 when i was 15 then replaced it on DVD when i was 18, i even owned the soundtrack since i was 14 on CD.

[pierreo33]

I FUCKING love this scene!

"Even in death, my POWERS continue"

That voice is so good

[centurion180ad]

Very few escape my grasp. Even in death, my powers continue. –Loc Nar

This sounds like BANKERS :-(

[TheJonathanyoung]

Best Part....

[Zilartaurideus]

In my opinion this scene was the inspiration for DEAD SPACE (and the necromorphs too), also this part is a very good material for an entire movie indeed!!!

[Johnlindsey289]

@Zilartaurideus

I agree it does have similarities and let's not forget another awesome adult animated movie known as Wicked City which influenced Dead Space.

[seekingnewhorizons]

Why do this film is so awesome and also so creepy?

[Johnlindsey289]

@seekingnewhorizons

Cause it just kicks ass and adored it for years since i was 12 in 93. One of my fave animated movies! If you like this movie, i recomend these similar movies: Akira, Ghost in The Shell, Wizards, Fist of the North Star, Fire and Ice, Starchaser Legend of Orin, Ninja Scroll, South Park The movie, Heavy Traffic, Fritz The Cat, Wicked City, Princess Mononoke, Vampire Hunter D 1 & 2, Beowulf, Dead Space, Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend, American Pop etc.

[McLarenMercedes]

Dan O'Bannon who the script for "Alien" originally wanted to make a story about some Alien (or alien like creature) which wreaked havoc inside a WW2 bomber. He realized of course that could only be a short story and thus changed into a space setting. Over time his script got many changes.

Since this came later it seems as if somebody picked up on Dan O'Bannon's former idea.

[Loopen22]

THIS is the best part of the movie, in my opinion.

[hellowgamma123456]

what is the song`s name??

[JheakrynaKyAlur]

@hellowgamma123456

Taking a Ride

[PIRATECAPTAINGUY]

WW2 planes in space epicnes supreme,i must watch this movie....

[TheTrystar]

The South Park version "Major Boobage" is verry LOL :P

[klugerhans]

wtf, aint it bad enough that you are in the middle of a fucking battle? you gotta be killed by your buddies turned into zombies? what the fuck is was that?

and where the fuck was the luftwaffe?

[EldestSauce]

@klugerhans based on where he landed I would say this was in the pacific...

[WOWJBEOWULF]

I saw Heavy Metal 2000, and it seems they went as far as they could get; instead of a series of stories, the Heavy Metal 2000 was one theme. There is a rumor of a new one being thought about, but the question remains of what it is going to be? Heavy Metal really is a dark theme, and to make an impact on modern audiences we should be looking at 3-D animation.

[TheAltair4]

@WOWJBEOWULF Well, i've heard from a friend that the new HM movie is going to be 9 part multi-animated anthology. James Cameron, David Fincher, Guillermo Del Toro, Zack Snyder and others are supposed to be involved with it and it's going to utilize traditional cell animation, CGI and stop motion along with some live action stuff. It sounds like it's going to be pretty badass if it ever gets made.

[WOWJBEOWULF]

@TheAltair4 Who know? Modern movie market is really tough, as it competes with HDTV and the Internet; they should not hold back and put up the best stories they can have.

[TheAltair4]

@WOWJBEOWULF That's true, but i think that with the level of talent that's going to be involved with it along with the cult status of the original film, it stands a very good chance of being a hit.

[WOWJBEOWULF]

@TheAltair4 Some of the gritty animation market is on Adult Swim (we get it here in California), and they do everything except show explicit naked cartoons (little censor strips for human nudity); but we get it all, sexual troubles, random deaths, exploding blood, weirdness--Alfred Hitchcock never had a clue what we could do. Heavy Metal was edgy, but this 21st century, it had better try to have something about it, artful. The original pre-80s cartoons, I went blind to them: tame, childish.

[TheAltair4]

@WOWJBEOWULF We get Adult Swim where i live too, but even that stuff is pretty tame compared to some of the stuff i've seen from Japan. Ninja Scroll, Wicked City, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Fist of the North Star and Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend, among others, are all pretty dark, edgy, violent and gory animated films for adults as well. But i agree that the new film needs to be something unique, artistic, explicit and hardcore for modern audiences. Funny comment about Hitchcock, btw.

[red03mitsu]

this part of the movie freaked me the FUCK OUT the first time i saw it. 

[unkwonstudios]

EVEN IN DEATH, MY POWERS CONTINUE..........

[centurion180ad]

It's an Early Bird.  No chin turret.

[unkwonstudios]

Loc-Nar Rulz

[navarrotrout]

Lol

[navarrotrout]

They dropped the bombs the wrong way. Take a careful look.

[centurion180ad]

@navarrotrout They drop the bombs the wrong way AND the 2 waist gunners aren't wearing their goggles which they'd have to, to shoot properly in the below freezing 200 knot airflow.

[navarrotrout]

They were dropping the bombs backwards. Take a real careful look. Fins in the front, I don't think so.

[HemiCuda63]

@navarrotrout the camera could be backwards for some reason though :b

[BelatedCommiseration]

When I saw this referenced in South Park and investigated a bit further I thought...this sounds like my kind of movie...I was'nt dissapointed. The eighties rule on so many levels you just can't count them all. However I suppose a lot of the characters pictured here are more a product of the seventies than anything else, despite when the film was made.

[frankpinmtl]

Woooooo-hooooooooooooooooo

testement 117....don't we take ourselves serious!!! hahahaha

Little man...

[MrSquelcher]

luv how u can hear kookaburras in the jungle lol

[TheZachadoodle]

This is the best part of the movie in my opinion, its so fucking awesome you have to watch it again...

[xxxdieselyyy]

Sucks to be a B-17 pilot when u have green meteors hanging 'round...guess if I see a glowing green object anytime soon, I will try 2 b a broke NYC cabbie or a nerd who doesn't get laid :)

[centurion180ad]

@xxxdieselyyy The United States Army Air Forces incurred 12% of the Army's 936,000 battle casualties in World War II. 88,119 airmen died in service. 52,173 were battle casualty deaths: 45,520 killed in action, 1,140 died of wounds, 3,603 were missing in action and declared dead, and 1,910 were nonhostile battle deaths. Of the United States military and naval services, only the Army Ground Forces suffered more battle deaths.

[yellowsnake95]

@centurion180ad Wow you really think peapole care about that than they watch a part of a animated movie I can understand your comment if it was a part from a documentary but it's totally missplaced here (no offence)

[centurion180ad]

@yellowsnake95 This particular video is posted under several different names on You Tube. As a matter of fact, YES it has come up in a discussion thread on some of those other similar video postings, how badly shot-up B17 crews could get. BTW the nose art says Pacific Pearl, so she’s a PTO bird.

[ByronC900]

@yellowsnake95 What the fuck is a pea pole?

You are an idiot, and your comment is useless. I found Centurion180ad's post insightful, particularly the part about the type of plane and the historical context.

[ArthurDenger]

It already did: a follow-up film was made in 2000.

Unimaginatively titled "Heavy Metal 2000," it was more or less the animation of a single graphic novel, unlike its predecessor which, like the magazine of the same name, featured a smorgasbord of vignettes by various writers and artists, (though containing a common thematic thread: the evil, glowing "Loc-Nar").

[TOHSAAK217]

When does the sequel come out?

[TheZajebant25]

Very few escape my grasp-even in death my powers continue...

Hell yeah!!! :)

[frankpinmtl]

He's fighting the boob goblin in the gazonga cave....and then mano a mano with Kenny!

[Testement117]

@frankpinmtl Get the fuck out... Seriously...

[colinblogs]

I thought that Kyle's dad was flying the plane.

[EldestSauce]

Pacific Pearl

[SatansMullet]

Im Cheesing my F'in Balls off right now!

[00vitality00]

i hate this part

[UndergroundRebelArmy]

B-17's had automatic pilot?

[dannygothicSr]

nop ....

[PowerinChrist777]

@UndergroundRebelArmy yes they did, they used it when the bombardier was about to deliver the payload

[hanksranger]

@UndergroundRebelArmy yup, a more simplified version than planes do today, all an autopilot is there for is to relieve the pilot on long flights, they called it "automatic flight control" back then

[DarkWingTDR]

DO A BARREL ROLL

naa this is the best movie ever !!!

love it

[RCpilotShadow74808]

when the B-17s drop the bombs, the bombs are backward!

[madcapromanian]

Sad part is that @7/10th of all B-17's were attacked like this. They had the bombing capacity, but compaired to faster fighters, they didn't stand much of a chance.

[meeces13]

they totally couldnt stand a chance against floating green orbs. as i think this footage shows clearly

[Vebinz]

The part where the co-pilot gets dragged down and then there are splatters of blood, remind me of the scene in "Aliens" when the creature enters the cockpit and kills the female pilot.

[MrMudip666]

best fucking movie ever

[Johnlindsey289]

Awesome movie.

Who thinks this movie is a cross between Twilight Zone The Movie, The Neverending Story, Akira and The Fifth Element?

[TheAltair4]

I never thought of The Neverending Story before but you're right. It does bear certain similarities to it, i suppose.

[konastinkyable]

iv been wondering for years what this song is someone please tell me

[skunkapemilitia]

don healy...

"heavy metal"

[skunkapemilitia]

i mean don felder

[TheZachadoodle]

Don Felder Takin a ride

[ITS4390]

always thought this part was just fucking freaky. and how the co pilots walking back and is like ... the F did the bodies go?! As soon as I saw vanishing dead bodies after being hit by a glowing green meteorite I'd say well FUCK THIS and just jump out thru the big hole torn in the side of the plane lol

[centurion180ad]

@ITS4390 Yeah, even the blood & gore on the deck was missing! YIKES!

[PivotRandomnessROFL]

wow i've never seen this movie,this is the first time i've seen ANYTHING so this creeped the fuck out of me xd

[FalconKPD]

1:10

"C'mon Captain, drop those fuckers and lets get the hell out of here-"

[detroitjc]

the name of this song is Heavy Metal by Don Felder

[ITS4390]

I thought Sammy Hagar did Heavy Metal?

[PhilipDK5800]

Whats the name of the tune?

[detroitjc]

by far the best sequence of the movie

[IronChefSpam]

This part of the movie always creeped me tha **** out.

[PatrickBatemanV]

It's still pretty damn creepy.

[Johnlindsey289]

One of the coolest animated movies! up there with "Akira", "Ghost in The Shell", Ralph Bakshi's stuff, "Ninja Scroll", "Fist of the North Star", "Starchaser", and "Pink Floyd The Wall" in terms of animation for mature audiences.

[Dingleberry66]

thank you captain obvious

[Johnlindsey289]

@Dingleberry66

You seen all those including the underrated Starchaser: Legend of Orin? What about South Park the Movie, Beowulf, Nightmare Before Christmas etc.? other good adult cartoons like HM.

Or even X-rated toon movie cult faves like Once Upon a Girl and hentai.

[Dingleberry66]

everything besides the lame ass gook cartoon porno,

[TheRETROKID1980]

@Johnlindsey289 i first saw thie movie in the summer of 88 on hbo. good movie, i have been on mature animated movies ever since

[Johnlindsey289]

@TheRETROKID1980

Awesome and i see your an 80's kid eh? born in 1980 and you saw this at age 8, cool! i loved mature cartoons since i saw Wizards on video with my two big brothers when i was 5 in 1987 when i lived in St. Lois then in 1993 when i was 11 i watched movies like this, Rock and Rule, Robot Carnival, Vampire Hunter D, American Pop, Hey Good Looking' etc and taped a few. Do you think The Fifth Element and Avatar were influenced by both this movie and the comic magazine?

[Dash1281]

best part of the movie

[1MtnBoy]

this is a great storyboard montage, the illustration is really good. I remember seeing this movie the last year I was in high school in 1980, still looks good today 29 years later !

[sting2death2]

This Song Was Featured on Southpark Episode , Major Boobage XD

[lcacwelder]

I saw this for the first time when I was about 9 or 10. HBO baby! scared the shit out of me.

[MrBeaker09]

The beginning of this part is SO BAD. ASS. Awesome song over an epic battle...

[JustinNyland]

this scene always creeped the shit out of me

[Lsb36]

that scared the shit out of me T.T

[nuke97]

I saw the gunner clip for the first time when I was 6 years old I was freaked out but knew what I saw was awesome at the same time!

[GSMEFMS]

this movie is so focking awesome

[STOPDOINGPUSHUPS1]

so this is wat happens wen u snort cat piss

[EmperorChupacabra]

Don't ruin the name of the movie with that kind of reference.

[Testement117]

@STOPDOINGPUSHUPS1 Get the fuck out.

[6stringgunslinger]

Personaly my favorite segment of the movie

[moonssecret123987]

O_O ok then

[satanslayer130]

Best when watching high haha

[rubesamwaa]

Totally agree. I was baked off my ass when i first saw this movie. It blew my mind

[RevPimpDaddie]

I love this movie!This segment is my favorite because i like zombie movies,the aliens doing blow is my second favorite!

[elli782]

Was that the ending?

[EmperorChupacabra]

To this particular part of the movie, yes.

[GoBiRuDiToRi]

good part really good part

[millard19]

sorry about the last comment it was a mate fuckin about

[keltic07]

What's the name of the song?

[TonyAirlines]

Taking a ride

I think

[rockhead13]

heavy metal from don felder

[netraider81]

UNLESS MAYBE THE PRESCHOOLERS PROSTITUTE RING...and he's never done anything illegal uh....uNLESS YOU COUNT ALL THE TIMES HE SOLD DOPE DISGUISED AS A NUN...STERN, HE'S NOTHIN' BUT A LOW DOWN, DOUBLE DEALING, BACKSTABBIN', LARCENOUS PERVERTED WORM, HANGIN'S TOO GOOD FOR HIM, BURNIN'S TOO GOOD FOR HIM, HE SHOULD BE TORN INTO ITSY BITSY PIECES AND BURIED ALIVE. I'LL KILL HIM!!!"

[louistherogue]

Ha ha, it's okay silly flamer. Stern will be by to read your idle threat and debate it with you soon enough I'm sure.

[EmperorChupacabra]

Wrong part of the movie Hanover.

[boromirofgondor111]

yeah this definately was the best part of the movie but the scene with the guy getting killed in the ball turret is impossible, the ball turret is so small that a short man could barely fit in there and the guy is flying around in there lol

[oingofan]

Yeah, and the bodies coming back to life were TOTALLY realistic...

[lettucefail]

I thought this really made the film

[louistherogue]

I agree. More movies need dead people randomly coming back to life and killing other people. Who cares if they eat them? It's all about the shock.

I'm not joking. This segment rocked.

[Jal8919536]

If the "Captain Stern" segment was the funniest in the film, then "B-17" was the most frightening. Not surprisingly, the same screenwriter who right the screenplay to Ridley Scott's "Alien" (1979) also wrote the story/script for "B-17", with that same feel the former has.

[rubesamwaa]

harry canyon was a good story though

[ArthurDenger]

@Jal8919536, I think that was Dan O'Bannon ("Dark Star"), wasn't it? He did other stories for HM magazine around that time, too.

I think this sequence was originally supposed to be titled, "Gremlins," but there might have been a possible copyright conflict with the 1984 Joe Dante film of that name. It took a number of years for "Heavy Metal" to come out on video, again due to (unrelated) copyright issues. Personally, I think "Gremlins" is a far better title for this sequence than "B-17."

Better sound than the other one! thanks

[FVSUWildcat]

I was 6 when I saw this movie and this particular scene scared the crap out of me.

[millard19]

same here
