[MADWORLD1427]

Vincent voiced by Roddy Macdowall?

[doromamire]

love vincent. the greatest robot.

[ingwersengrady]

love those laser SFX

[Lightray110]

I like the bit with B.O.B at 4:19.

[RizzRustbolt]

Spoiler Alert: V.I.N.C.E.N.T. just broke the First Law of Robotics.

[WKRPinCINN]

none of this would have had to have happened if these robots hadn't been programed to feel pride and envy.

[Krigarkaj]

Cool that the robots interacts as "persons" sort of, in the robot way :)

[SwingingMan17]

I used to have a "the black hole" record player :D

[xGRYFONx]

R2-D2 was years before and would kick this trashcans Disney ass.

[Lars99]

Somehow I wanna listen to Daft Punks music again.

[trickykid73]

CGI sucks !

[trickykid73]

CGI sucks !

[Subway0001]

love all the little quips in this movie, lol

"I's only dinner."

"...said the spider to the fly."

"All work and no play..."

"All sunshine makes a desert"

[GenVirtu]

@Subway0001

I agree...it's called good writing. Something that even alot of the newer film lack or miss entirely.

[IggyHazard]

"You can't modify perfection. WE'RE the best."

VINCent is so INTJ. XD

[michaelhviper]

If one dances one must pay piper. I cant help but laugh every time I see this when F.T.A.R. blows.

[Shadofx]

Way to hold the the honor of the outfit!..loved this part of the movie..great film and brings back the memories..I'll always love BOB..just not another voice like Slims!

[psykilll]

Note to all bullies out there. If you push someone around, there will be repercussions, eventually.

[f3hdemon]

I get the feeling I saw S.T.A.R. breakdancing on some Newyork street corner in 1981 or 82.

[Akira625]

4:10 [root@STAR ~] # shutdown -h now

[psykilll]

@Akira625 [root@STAR `~] rm -f / 

[Khrome1]

"Why'd you make him black?" "I wanted him to be perfect!" -Roscoe from he movie "Ice Pirates" (1984)

[IncHulkLover]

The Maximillian robot scared the bejeebies outta me when I first saw this movie. Still does, sorta (and I'm 36.)

[Akira625]

@IncHulkLover I can see why, he kinds looks like a big metal cockroach, with spinning blades for hands. I certainly don't want to shake hands with him! :)

[IncHulkLover]

@Akira625 -- That and the fact he would give a LITERAL meaning to the phrase "you twisted my arm"!!

[GPatsos]

I love this scene. Very funny. I love, Bob reprasenting the old Modell with his damages and wires hanging out und the noise when he shakes. The black robot acts like a to selfconfident cowboy in a bar, doing his silly moves when shooting.LOL. The best is, when the robot get so angry that his circuits explode. LOL. I love these pre CGI-Sciencefiction films. True Masterpieces. The dont do films like this any more.

[garamonde]

Vincent and Old Bob are two of the coolest robots in Sci-Fi.

[laser74hobby]

Awesome laser range.

[hargosh37]

As an old Navy hero once said, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"

[CrossoverKid92]

They're remaking this movie for 2011!

[EligantElliotOffen]

@CrossoverKid92 Please Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

[manysocksonfeet]

@CrossoverKid92 A tragedy ain't it?

[CrossoverKid92]

@manysocksonfeet Depends. Granted, you can never completely replace the old classics, but you never know, it might be quite good.

[additionaldata]

Thanks I've not seen that since it was in the cinema, it is a classic. I read somewhere a remake was on the cards, but those old style effects cannot be beat.

[johntheechidna1]

"If there's one thing I simpley CAN NOT stand, it's a sore loser."

LOL!

[TonyKanameKuran]

The laser fire sound effects reminds me of one word from the classic G.I. Joe series-- COBRA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reivenlocke]

STARR should have been in the movie longer.

[glasssoul86]

Great (often overlooked) movie, classic scene...

[M450N23]

dude! I used to love that movie as a kid!

[BigFatCode]

"Meet me in part storage.",...thats an epic line,...

[Strideo1]

Why are the robots just hanging out and doing target practice? If they aren't being used shouldn't they just be powered down in a storage room or something?

[Earldaddy67]

Where can u find this movie?

[ReverendSyn]

4:19 - "OH SHI-"

[wavehitharder]

Best Part! ^-^

[AnimeIntroStyles4]

to the uploader's summary: They're both answers to the then already 11 year old Kubrick classic. Well 11 years old when Black Hole came out, 9 years old when New Hope came out.

[hasseNicknames]

"Vincent's my name - sharp shooting is my game!"

[txknightrider82]

kinda sounds like kitts voice from knightrider hu?

[reivenlocke]

The late Roddy McDowell.

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

When did Roddy McDowell pass away...And what other films was he known for playing in?

[reivenlocke]

He passed away back in '98.

His biggest role in a career that spanned over 200 movies perhaps was as Cornelius in "Planet of the Apes" (not the remake).

[MeIancholyMan]

@OLDSCHOOLHHSEX he was also in such GOlden oldies as National Velevet with Elizabeth Taylor, How Green Was My Valley, Fright Night, and all of the original Planet of the Apes movies PLUS the short-lived POTA TV show (as Galen).. that's it off the top of my head..

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@MeIancholyMan Is that the SAME RODDY McDOWELL who played as the water Hoarder military leader in TANK GIRL & in several Horror Movies?-I thought he was still alive-There is a guy by name of Roddy Something in the TANK GIRL credits-Great CHEESY CLASSIC HUMOR MOVIE=)P I hope its fully uploaded on YouTube=)

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

@MeIancholyMan I had to watch TANK GIRL again on YouTube,The McDowell playing is MALCOM McDOWELL,not RODDY-Sorry how its been bout 20 years(2 DECADES?) since I seen this CULT classic,Rated right up there with Disneys THE BLACK HOLE & TRON,along with very rare Live Action films using scale models YouTube might not have on here-Movie version of FLASH GORDON cant be beat*Scene where MING the Merciless causeing DALE to feel herself WAS VERY HOT>=)p**

[bradkoski]

I have the magnetic toys from italy. They're my favorite of my collection.

[walrusmonkey]

Doesn't the bashed-up robot remind you of Cartman?

[69erthx1138]

wonder if the guy in the robot suit shit has pants when he blew a fuse?

[Kapp2007]

this movie was one of my favorites as a kid, at least until Empire Strikes back first came out...I had a lot of the toys from this movie and a record, I think... looking at this now, it actually (to me) has become so retro that it actually is now pretty cool

[marah777]

one of the few nonpretentius films of disney

[txknightrider82]

vincent almost sounds like k.i.t.t from knight rider hu?

[whiskeyify]

This was done by the old Disney studios.

Not a great movie, but it has it moments.

this part is really good, and the ending where the ship breaks apart is good too.

[Fesposito70]

Good movie, Vincent saved them trouble by taking out that gunslinger early on.

[Kickasss119]

this movie reminds me of a space version of 20000 leagues under the sea, special the parallel between Rinheart and the captain of the sub captain Nemo

[sigendymion]

This movie has scarred my imagination for over 20 years.

[hasseNicknames]

"This movie has scarred my imagination for over 20 years."

Believe me, there you're not the only one!

Ironically one was haunted by a Disney (!!!) - Production.

[Windclaw]

Possibly the darkest Disney film in existence. I think at one point, they tried to foist it off on a sister company, now Miramax (sp?). But in the end it retained the Disney label.

[TheCoolProfessor]

Definitely! This movie fucked me up for a while.

But I'm feeling much better now!

T-T-T-T-H-H-H-E-E-E SH-SH-SHOCK TH-TH-TH-THERAPY SEEMS TO B-B-BE W-W-W-WORKING!!

lol.

[cruiseshipz]

You better believe it, when I first watched it on DVD, I had terrible nightmares about it, especially the trailer scared the heck out of me, but I don't think it scared me now! ;D 10/10

[txknightrider82]

yea black holes do excist and they take in suns!

[Otaku155]

Love VINCent!!!

[Kickasss119]

BOB 4EVER!!!!!!

[DChatc]

McDowell shares the lion's share of the dialogue with Scheill in this film, and he does a fine job at it too. Ever the professional. RIP.

[hargosh37]

True. That whole "wills, won'ts and can'ts" line was one of the few things I remembered when I was young watching this.

[MarcR2006]

V.I.N.C.E.N.T. : "There are three basic types, Mr. Pizer. The wills, the won'ts and the can'ts. The wills accomplish everything, the won'ts accomplish nothing, and the can'ts won't try anything."

[Caribdus]

As old as this movie is it's still very good. The design of the evil robots puts the Phantom Menace's camp droids to shame. Maximillion was one scary badass robot.

[ganimed1976]

V.I.N.Cent and Old B.O.B were so cute.....I saw this movie as a child on VHS from my fathers video collection.....I remember I was so sad and was crying with joy in that scene V.I.N.Cent´s mate Old B.O.B dies and V.I.N.Cent must leave him behind....... :(

Now I have the movie on DVD and this scene still stirs me to tears ;)

[seifukusha]

I have a vincent toy right here in my music studio from when i was 6. awesome. thx

[faceyfaceface]

this is so much better tha any modern disney stuff... especially the writing.

[DChatc]

The writing, oh the writing... These days Disney, when not doing things like National Treasure, are competing with Nicelodian over fart jokes... Its just money now, back then it used to be about talent also, but nowadays talent is simply considered a waste of time spent from pleasing the lowest-common denomenator.

[cruiseshipz]

Boy I love this scene!! It really makes my day as well!

[ramoneandfatone]

it really is, isn't it? the old-fashioned special effects methods have a charm that CG will never rival.

[RoguePlanet]

That's exactly true. CGI has that too-perfect look that you don't find with well-done miniature photography. Some of the lighting and wire work with the Cygnus is really impressive, and the hand-drawn animation of the thrusters was beautifully done. Plus, there's something about the starfields in this film that just seems different and better than what's being produced today. Granted, this movie's not gonna win any acting awards, and it's too kiddie for my taste, but it's still interesting.

[MovieVision]

@ramoneandfatone

true...

[Spiderswing432]

Great scene! :D
