What makes the build-up to the flight so memorable? It was this moment. I usually am not at odds with Spielberg, but the menace of the adults brandishing guns (even though none were fired) made the situation all the more dangerous.
Correct me if I'm wrong (please), but I'm pretty sure they changed the guns to walkie talkies when this film was re-released (and the alien was more computer-enhanced).
They did change the guns to walkie-talkies in the re-release, and E.T. was digitally enhanced in some scenes, to make him emote better, since the puppet had a limited range of emotions.
in the re-release, they also added in a scene where Elliot gives him a bath and such. It was the only major scene addition made.
I should've read down the comments before posting because the gun to walkie-talkie thing had already been covered. I remember the bath scene being added. Was that a deleted scene that they stuck back in the film?
Yes. There was also a smaller one where the Mom goes out looking for the kids, and just finds Gertie and Michael, as well as a number of kids wrecking havoc down the street on Halloween.
Word was, there was a scene of Elliot waiting to see the Principal after the Frog scene, and in silhouette and in voice, Harrison Ford was cast as the Principal...though you wouldn't have seen his face.
Finally, the original version from 1982!!! I hate with they alter scenes in re-releases. If they didn't like them they shouldn't have made them that way in the first place. An example is the police roadblock. The shot with the officers with the shotguns was digitally re-made. In the re-made version the officers were holding walke-talkies.
thats my bicyclehouse escape pod. i love thos movie a lot.little gerdie,trigger traeting and the toys,the 1980"s. it shows a lot if things like the wind in the trees etc that are gone now. the music of the past.
This is my alltime favoutirte scene! makes me feel joy, wonder, happiness. And when the bikes takes off and they fly I cry of joy, really. This is excelent!
Absolutely amazing......spielberg loved john williams music so much he edited this scene to the music he'd already written.....and who wouldn't want Michael as your big brother? He rips the piss and loves Elliot at the same time....Perfect!
He doesn't always get it right, but when he does, Spielberg makes magic happen. I defy people with a heart to watch this film and not be mesmerised. I love the beautiful energy this scene has, the grace of the tracking shots, the tension and release of the music, and that iconic shot as they are sillhouetted against the sunset
i don't see all the bitching about ripping off but if your going to get credit for telling anyone be smart he took clip snipets from second Symphony, Movement 1 and 3 not 2
What lies am I saying ??? Is there something wrong with you ? You responded to my comment talking about how John Williams ripped this music off. But my comment had nothing to do with that. Go back and check. So when I responded with " Ummm, Whatever" that means, I don't give a fuck. You are preaching to the wrong person dude.
Ah yes!! The 1982 version of the scene!!! If theres no DVD with the original 1982 cut, I would be willing to get it on VHS just for the original stuff. Thanks for uploading the scene though!!!
"This is reality, Greg." One of the best lines in a movie period. This whole sequence of the film was my favorite part as a kid and still is as an adult.
Okay, this is REAL! I didn't believe it. This happened to me and I'm trying to save you from the same fate! In 1977 a college student from North Carolina was murdered by her boyfriend who was possessed by a demon that slit her throat in her sleep. If you don't copy and paste this in to at least 5 videos in the next 30 minutes the same demon will make you deaf tonight in your sleep
The BMX chase scene is my favorite scene from the whole movie, too. I also like how this video is from the original 1982 theatrical cut and not the censored 2002 release (where the guns were replaced with walkie-talkies).
I agree, the 1982 version is better than the 2002 version. I don't know why they had to cut that part out. I was very dissapointed to see that the guns had been replaced with walkie talkies???
watching this movie was the very farthest memory I have my "1st" I shit you not. I'm 24.
I know what you mean bro, being 3 and seeing this movie makes your heart jump out. It hits home harder than anyother. I'll love E.T. till I check out of this life
Does anyone know what bikes are in this scene? or were they all Kuwahara's? I was told they used Sekai's also ond mongoose so if anybody can help please do. Wicked scene to jump start the memories:)
i know this is a movie..but come on...local police and the fbi cant catch a bunch of kids on dirt bikes??anyway, i cant front.i took my lady to see et when it first came out..and being totally honest..you had to be a klingon or something without tearducts if you didnt cry during the end...
I don't understand the sense those government agents had or police had. E.T. had a right to go home. If I had been one, I'd have tried to hold the rest back to buy the kids some time.
I still remember being less than 10 years old - my mother had taped this movie off of TV and I had her rewinding this scene 10 times every time I watched it. Love it.
As corny as this sounds this part includes alot of things, new actors, bmx bikes, running from the feds, guns, humor, suspense great camera shots and editing. and frekkin flying bikes
damnit, this scene brings tears in my eyes. thanks for uploading. i always loved this scene, but i didnt see this movies for years. i remember that i always thought that those guys on the BMX are so cool, and i always wanted to be like them, and now, i am so much older and i see those guys are so damned young hahahaha time went fast - god, i need the dvd :-)
love this scene. this is my all time favorite movie and this scene is awesome, but i hate the redone version with the walkie talkies rather than guns, cause yeah, the guns make it seem alot more believable
this chase scene is KICK ASS, one of my favorite movie moments. also i love how elliot's like "he's a man from outer space, we have to take him to his spaceship", and then "this is reality greg" haha
From Kuwahara's website: In 1982 Steven Speilberg's hit movie E.T. featured Kuwahara BMX's and famous riders of those days including Bob Haro. Many famous riders raced for the Kuwahara Factory teams such as Gary Ellis, Clint Miller, Joe Baumert, Dave Cullinan, Lee Medlin, Leo Green, Matt Harris and Kevin McMeale.
To me this represents having faith and being led by Jesus. They all believed now and look, they flew. Noone could catch them. What an awesome scene. :)
Yeah, I remember that bike- chase scene when he said WE made it! and out of nowhere all of these people are right behind him chasing them all. I remember the entire theater just bursting into laughter.
I had such a crazy crush on "Tommy Howell" when he was a teen heartthrob LOL!
I love this scene when one of the children asks why ET cannot just beam himself up and Elliot responds "this is reality"---I believe this is my favorite movie of all time. I watch it when I am depressed and it gives me such hope.
On another note, prior to that idiotic school play I think 3 of my friends and I reenacted this scene over and over again for 2 years. Riding our BMX bikes all around Highland Park, even my boy Nick had a stuffed tiger in a milk crate tied to his bike with a blanket wrapped around it. All of us humming the music. It was great. Thanks for the post.
In 1984, this movie was ruined for me. I was in 2nd grade, and some idiot teacher decided that the school drama club stage "E.T.-The Musical". I couldn't watch this movie at times without remembering that bastardization done by the 7th and 8th graders of P.S./I.S. 308 in Brooklyn, NY. Took me 18 years to recover. Wasn't unitl the re-release I felt like I could watch this again and forget all about that dumb shyt they did at my school. "E.T.: The Musical"?!?!? Can any of you fathom that?
This is my favorite moment in movies simply because I know each of us has atleast 3 friends who would not hesitate to help us out if we were in a similar situation. Shit the friends I have would probably take it a step further. My favorite scene from any movie. <3
my favourite film ever :) its the perfect movie

On another note, prior to that idiotic school play I think 3 of my friends and I reenacted this scene over and over again for 2 years. Riding our BMX bikes all around Highland Park, even my boy Nick had a stuffed tiger in a milk crate tied to his bike with a blanket wrapped around it. All of us humming the music. It was great. Thanks for the post.

In 1984, this movie was ruined for me. I was in 2nd grade, and some idiot teacher decided that the school drama club stage "E.T.-The Musical". I couldn't watch this movie at times without remembering that bastardization done by the 7th and 8th graders of P.S./I.S. 308 in Brooklyn, NY. Took me 18 years to recover. Wasn't unitl the re-release I felt like I could watch this again and forget all about that dumb shyt they did at my school. "E.T.: The Musical"?!?!? Can any of you fathom that?

The sound pitch is too high. That isn't the real scene if the sound pitch is too high.

This is my favorite moment in movies simply because I know each of us has atleast 3 friends who would not hesitate to help us out if we were in a similar situation. Shit the friends I have would probably take it a step further. My favorite scene from any movie. <3
