1973 Badlands - Trailer

[hatshepsutiv]

Martin Sheen couldn't deny Charlie Sheen if he wanted to

[stupidbullchit]

Lykke Li's video Get Some is not available in my county... The USA. So you are an indie band? Right.

[arabianspirit67]

what the hell Lykke......

[MissSoccerGrl]

Alexz Johnson brought me here!

[Drengebarnet]

Lykke Li brought me here... :-)

[Edward1992ist]

@Drengebarnet She brought me too LOL :)

[tiffaniebbes94]

love this film so much

[miniman631]

i found this film from the band bastille in their video for their song FLAWS

[timbum1000]

I have just checked out the awards this film won and it is only a couple and it wasnt even nominated for an Oscar, not one. Unbelievable. The direction, the cinamatography, the script, the acting are all superb. Why was it overlooked????

[ursulade]

i hope i just didnt watch the whole film, old trailers gave away too much!! :D

[ursulade]

@ursulade trailers of old movies i mean :)

[Andrzej560]

Wonderful

[roryphelan]

Wonderful little gem of a film.

[ElleRoxMyFabSox88]

this movie was wierdddddddddd

[Williams010Leffield]

is that the same music from true romance?

[roryphelan]

@Williams010Leffield No, but the music from true romance is an imitation of the music used in this film.

[Williams010Leffield]

@roryphelan aye thats what i meant. true romance came out long after this did. the whole of True Romance is a sort of imitation of badlands from the odd, slighty damaged, for want of a better word, but still attractive leading lady, who in both films narrate with a southern accent, to the mentally ill but weirdly admirable leading man. tarantino definitely took alot of inspiration from Badlands

[ursulade]

@Williams010Leffield yeah, this film copied true romance...tony scott and quentin tarantino tried suing, but to no avail, as they were only about 10!

[Williams010Leffield]

@ursulade

Shut the fuck up 

[princeoftidds]

@Williams010Leffield Take it easy. Ursulade just made a joke, it's not the end of the world.

[Williams010Leffield]

@princeoftidds

why did you feel the need to say that?

[princeoftidds]

@Williams010Leffield That was rude and there is no need for it. Helping you out.

[Williams010Leffield]

@princeoftidds self-righteous tool

[ursulade]

@ursulade what a cranky pants this guy is! :-D

[ursulade]

@Williams010Leffield shut the fuck up!

[TheMemento99]

@ursulade dude just relax you and Williams010leffield need to end this senseless bickering and just agree that Badlands and True Romance are both good movies with good soundtracks.

[ursulade]

@TheMemento99 hilarious!! :D first of all my comment about true romance copying this soundtrack was a joke! probably a crap one, but come on!! second of all, he told me to "shut the fuck up" so i told him to "shut the fuck up".... i'm JOKING!!! the problem with internet threads is you can never tell if people are being serious, insulting, sarcastic etc... im only having a laugh :)

[ursulade]

@TheMemento99 but i do agree...both movies are gems!!

[joshwashposh]

that flying ball of sticks was SO close to hitting his leg on the way back. 1:42

[ArcticBuckley]

If someone ask you what is a "Movie" you must show him this one, "Badlands" is one of the best movie ever we have to say.

[spewintothis]

Wonderful film.

[HubbyHair]

the Guy in This Movie' looks Just Like my Old Land Lord from Worland Wyoming' & his Name was Bobby Richins.

[mySTALEMATE]

this flick is a tragic bunch of shit. starkweather and fugates lives was insane enough, why isn't that good enough for follywood? they never do it better than the real shit, that's fer sure. murder in the heartland was much better, besides minor inaccuracies my only problem with that was that tim roth didn't have starkweathers speech impediment. oh well.

[henriette756]

TMalick : only 4/5 films, all great.. Some people not knowing exactly what they "disliked" Will say : oh, those TM ' s voices-over.. Ridiculous..

[henriette756]

Terrence Malick :  great

[lomadmt]

Forget Natural born killers....this is the real deal..and you know what... ."love is strange".....dont belive me ..just ask Mickey and Sylvia

[XShoku]

Murder in the Heartland is the best!! All these movies were inspired by a serial killer named Charles Starkweather, & Murder in the Heartland is about them. Although they changed some of the stuff it's pretty accurate :)

[StritarD]

Is it only me or the beginning of the intro and soundtrack feels like The Assasination Of Jesse James?

[TheBigCynicalAsshole]

This seemed spoilerish without seeing the movie. Was it?

[brunofujii]

What a great movie!

[isaiaselcaco]

funny how probably charlie sheen will end in some situation like this.

[Kogerii]

Natural Born Killers is a worse version of this movie.

[brunofujii]

@Kogerii This is a master piece. I personally don't like Natural Born Killers ethier...

[scruffyfromki3]

@Kogerii YOUR A RETARD NATURAL BORN KILLERS HAS A cOMPLETE DIFFERENT cONcEPT THAN THIS AND IT IS AcTUALLY MORE BADASS U HIPPIE FAGGIT

[FaceManBDSC]

Thumbs up if an scientific essay about the question "why show violence in movies?" brought you here... ;)

[handycappo]

@FaceManBDSC just you i think lol

[SteveHolt1984]

Best Trailer Ever!

[comcreature]

I really appreciate this virtually unknown movie. It shows that there are people in this world who can exist totally without a conscience. Casey Anthony is a rank amateur compared to this couple. The music here is great too.

[zo219]

Oh god, those Terrence Malick voice-overs ...

[Generationfilms100]

Is this like most of Terrence Malick's films where most of the film is voice overs and very little dialogue.

[cinesimonj]

@Generationfilms100 "most"?

I take it you only watch the trailers, and assume his films must be like that throughout?

[cobalt100]

This movie reminds me so much with my brush with the law. There were cops from 9 different states after my ass. All because I refused to renew my tags on the license plates.

[JoanBeatrington001]

LOL WTF did i just watch? Some nice looking film turns into him murdering everybody.

[TheGodParticle]

He shoot that cop in the back, hes a badass!

[KajiCarson]

@TheGodParticle He wasn't a cop, mister, he was a bounty hunter!

[TheGodParticle]

@KajiCarson Cool, thats fine with me then.

[eggfleece]

people who littered bothered him

[1992VoodooChild]

@eggfleece lol

[zuss10r]

How could this man have the misfortune to sire such a moron? Genetics, i'll never understand it!

[landesal]

winning?

[TheJimmorrisonfan198]

I've seen Badlands over 200 times so far,it's my favourite film and i can honestly say i have never seen Robert Englund.

[ChrisWalkenFan]

Now could someone please tell me WHERE exactly Robert Englund appears in that film? I guess I saw that movie a hundret of times, t'was my very first movie of Martin Sheen (with Catch-22 of course) ... and my friend told me Rob Englund plays in it too. I NEVER saw him. I beg for help. :p

[A2Stallion]

Makes me think Natural Born Killers was a rip off...

[SachinStyle]

@A2Stallion True Romance/Natural Born Killers are both based off the Tarantino script that was inspired by this movie as well as Bonny and Clyde.

[scruffyfromki3]

@A2Stallion UR A DUMBASS

[TheJimmorrisonfan198]

I love this film,i have lost count of the amount of times i have seen it,I got my dvd signed by Martin Sheen,he is such a nice guy

[vrathragna]

if true romance was an hommage to badlands, was the inglorious basterds the same to the thin red line? does tarintino do anything original? he pilfers, steals, copies and calls it hommage!!!!!!!

[zotrablue]

@vrathragna as stan lee sayd in the simpsons ....broke it ? or made it better???!! tarantino is like a best of reel that teaches you of movie history, hey its better than the rest of what hollywood is doing!! hes showing wat the world wants to see .

....... hey if you dont like it you can always stick to Uwe Boll (lol i kidd i bet you love movies !!! )

[sosiopat]

@vrathragna Stealing has always been an important artistic technique. What's the difference between Tarantino stealing some elements from Badlands, and Malick stealing some elements from Charlie Starkweather's life? In art, stealing is good, stealing keeps tradition fresh. It's only plagiarism when the new work of art doesn't bring anything new to the table. Tarantino, even though I'm no big fan, brings plenty. The people he rips off are better off in the end.

[vrathragna]

@sosiopat real artists are original!

[sosiopat]

@vrathragna It's sort of cool to see that 19th century Romantic ideals are still alive in some people. There's no such thing as pure originality, it's all built on something that came before. Tarantino just makes the foundation more obvious than many other artists, because he thinks it's beautiful and that people should know about it.

"Bad artists copy. Great artists steal." - Picasso

[vrathragna]

@sosiopat Malick is a philosopher--a historian of philosophy to be more exact, and T worked as video-store clerk. Do you think that makes a difference?????

[sosiopat]

@vrathragna Of course it makes a difference: It means Malick's movies might be more interesting to people who enjoy philosophy - of which I am one. What does that have to do with originality? What's next? Are you going to draw some boring line between art and entertainment?

[sndudley]

I've always loved this film. Terrence Malick is an outstanding director. I caught this again on TCM tonight. I hadn't seen it in awhile. Reminds me of True Romance. I could almost guarantee that Tarantino had Badlands in mind when he wrote it.

[fidellah23]

@SoothsayerYT hahahahaha dude you are such a fucking faggot..hahahaha holy shit, take your dick out of your dad's mouth.

[Intz51]

i can't believe i haven't heard of this movie, i gotta buy it, seems to be recommended alot

[HAVTTOONMAKER]

OMG is CHARLIE SHEEN'S FATHER!!! :o

[ddean1987]

@HAVTTOONMAKER Emilio Estevez's father as well.

[caytiryakisi28]

damn this movie kicks ass - LITERALLY

[imgonnakillyoo]

still my favorite movie

[theEpicBatman]

Martin Sheen has GREAT HAIR!?!?

[mackinl]

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST US FILMS.

[pumpkinbrains101]

Did anyone else notice when he shoots down into the cellar it is the reverse image of the scene in the film.

[greenblue1979]

@pumpkinbrains101 At first glance I thought it may have been an alternate take but then yes, I saw it was a reverse, very odd.

[pnutbutrncrackers]

@pumpkinbrains101

Breaker 1-9: PumpkinBrains, this is Pnutbutrncrackers. (Sorry, just had to do that.) Anyway, yeah, I too noticed it right off. No explanation.

[pumpkinbrains101]

@pnutbutrncrackers  That's a big 10-4, Pnutbutrncrackers.

[JuJuTJ]

this looks like something i might enjoy.

my favourite films are pulp fiction, gran torino, true romance, a clockwork orange, lives of others & 500 days of summer - any opinions on whether this would be enjoyable to me?

[Nillok]

spoiler-filled trailer? methinks so.

[stationaryhobo]

Agreed with formivore, this film should get more attention than it does.

[HelloTherePepper]

is this movie scary? :o

[xxUngroundablexx]

haven't seen this movie in years,but it's one of my favorites!

[NukePaperScissors]

saw this for the first time the other day, FANTASTIC!

[peterd127]

My fav movie!!!

[elpoo]

THIS MOVIE OWNS

[ExtremeBogom]

Is that the Carrie girl?

[girl43]

Young Sheen was so gorgeous

[07StarQueen]

@girl43  AND STILL IS! :)

[JackKangaroo1]

This was a great film with a story based loosely upon the murder spree of Charlie Starkweather and his then 14 year old girlfriend. It does not moralize about what takes place, it simply shows it unfolding like a bizarre dream played out across the American prairie. The girlfriend became a dental hygienist and today lives somewhere in the mid-west.

[itsMissMassMurderess]

FUCK THIS IS SO SCARY

[ghostdog80]

@itsMissMassMurderess you seen this movie or did ou just scared cause of trailer?

[nothinglasts007]

they basically told the whole plot in previews back then lol but Martin Sheen was gorgeous in this movie.

[toukitsouimana]

This film is also mentioned in a dEUS song called "nothing really ends"

Great movie

[toukitsouimana]

This film is also mentioned in a dEUS song called "nothng really ends"

Great movie

[mimimirwitch]

this reminds me of a film called gun crazy...

[rm04ever]

Badlands & Bad romance , two movies that have a very similar Story and soundtrack

[rm04ever]

i meant true romance Sorry , i blame Lady GaGa for that typo

[espenjoelle]

And Natural Born Killers

[18ayonuss]

the movie in this trailer reminds me of the music in true romance.

[leskitts]

thats cause true romance is almost an EXACT copy of this film and everything about it, the plot, the music, the vibe...

[mistatakey]

Strange but wonderful. Stunningly beautiful images throughout the movie.

[bobgrantsbus]

Great performances from Sheen as the matter-of-fact killer and Spacek as his easily lead girl.

[formivore]

I always like to puzzle out why certain divinely brilliant movies get less attention than they deserve. Not too tricky in this case, you can only heap so much praise in polite company on a film with a basically indifferent stance towards cross country killing sprees.

[pnutbutrncrackers]

@formivore

Well, to perhaps state the obvious, that which one person calls & considers "divinely brilliant" may not be so appraised by another -- especially if moral considerations are admitted (or permitted) as part of the overall evaluation. I know what you mean about the 'amoral' aura surround this film, yet on the other hand I think several strongly moral undercurrents can be taken from it (i.e. by inference).

[sjaffe]

@formivore if people don't think this movie is beautiful, you shouldn't allow them in polite company.

[thefriendsociety]

@formivore 10% of americans get it, the other 85% are only care about and eat it up whatever the current popular craze is. and the other 5% make money off the 85%

[SH4N3Y09]

amazing movie

[moznico]

I remember watching this when I was 11 (now 26) when AMC used to show good movies like this! lol...

[Qdelcoco]

I don;t believe any actor could have pulled this off as well as Sheen. Masterful! And I've got to give Spacek credit also.

[Autostade67]

This film put Sheen into a "moody Romantic sociopath" mode for a bit: "Sweet Hostage"( in '75 with Linda Blair) and, yes, even "Apocalypse Now". "Badlands" so subtly invented the genre of the ironically captured cross country killing spree that its importance often goes unregarded by the legions of bubble gum chewers who flock to such copy cat movies today.

[dan564891]

my joint number one film, along with the graduate

[Tigerlily21]

One of my favorite films. Martin Sheen was so hot when he was young. Much hotter than his sons Emilio and Charlie.

[Qdelcoco]

Yes, I don';t see any evidence that Emilio and/or Charlie inherited any of their father's talent.

[mongoloidmongrel]

Can anyone please tell me what the song is at 0:33 seconds?

I'm haunted by it.

[calimagfan]

I can tell you that it's not the same song that starts at 1:27. But in case you thought that it was the same song- the one from 1:27 is Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman - Gassenhauer nach Hans Neusiedler.

You can find it at track 1 on Orff- Schulwerk vol. 1 of Musica Poetica

[youtootube99]

Listen to the theme from "True Romance."

[calimagfan]

Close, but not the same song. Zimmer used the gassenhauer theme because Tarantino thought it would be a fitting tribute.

Both are good pieces though.

[Qdelcoco]

The song is "Musica Poetica" by Carl Orff. Beautiful!

[Maught]

It's an adaptation of Erik Satie's "Trois morceaux en forme de poire (3 Pieces in the Shape of a Pear), for piano, 4 hands: En Plus".

[Silkrat]

Badlands is one of my favorite films and the screenplay is (at least IMHO) made to be such on purpose. However I do have to say that while "The New World" had some good Malick-esque scenes, its overall sub-par in comparison with his other films.

[ThomasAdjani]

if you don't like the new world, that's your opinion, but to say it sucks means you don't understand Malick, or the purpose of an independent filmmaker who does not follow the hollywood handbook on strict narrative...you have to FEEL his films and not worry about the story!

[poughkeepsiejohn]

What a great film this is. Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek look and act like two aimless teenagers who truly don't understand the evil he's committed.

An influential film in many ways. Certainly influenced Bruce Springsteen when he cut "Nebraska". Jon Bon Jovi considers this his all-time favorite film.

I'm glad Terrence Malick is still making movies. Supposedly he's working on "The Catcher In The Rye", if that's at all filmable. Good luck, Terrence.

[MishKapeesh]

when he runs it reminded me of emilio estevez in breakfast club (i have no idea y) and then i rembered it shis dance,hmmm

[smoothmove]

classic!

[filmfanatic99]

I like how in the credits at the end they thank Arthur Miller.

[MishKapeesh]

i dont think it shows the film for wot it really is and gives away lots of intresting to watch bits, like when he makes the suscide not, y give it away.....

[mmeister7]

Very beautiful movie, one of the classics, the cinematography and progression was amazing, even by the end i didnt think sheens character was a bad guy, just bored into amoralness maybe, but not evil

[Dawson1986]

Now that I have watched this film, I realize lynch's "Wild At Heart", Stone's "Natural Born Killers" and Scott's "True Romance" would not exist without it. I can tell Tarantino loved this movie.

[ThomasRedfield]

Yeah. There's no message in the movies of Tarantino, but this one has a huge.

[meflove]

What is the message in Badlands?

[ThomasRedfield]

The lack of meaning. Not just in the whole USA thing. In life. Everybody feels it. We're running in circles, trying to earn some happyness, find our peace in this world, but sometimes everything is just so empty, that even our love is just the thirst for love.

[meflove]

I love this movie even though it is a really bad screenplay. There are things that happen in this movie that just does not seem right. If I got shot in the stomach I'd be pissed. Days of Heaven is his masterpiece. The New World SUCKED so bad I asked for my money back. I really think Mr. Malnick wants to work for National Geographic.

[slapperharrris]

You miss the point of the scene you bemoan. Yes, I'd be none too pleased about being in the shot in the guts, but the guy in the movie who did was a lumbering simpleton and Cissy Spacek's airy, cheery "Hi" to him and the absurd conversation that followed when he was about to die is fucked up and surreal.

Just because you - understandably - would be pisssed about being shot in the stomach, it doesn't follow that the movie/screenplay should do the same.

[noizenconfusion]

you are a moron.

[meflove]

No not really I do love this movie but it has it faults I am just smart enough to see them. Charlie's character was not evil but he damn sure was a very bad guy. Killing people willy nilly like that he should have been hunted down and shot like a mangy dog.

[noizenconfusion]

I was talking abt your comments on the new world and how you mis-spell Malick's name. See you just think you are smart. Truth is you are a moron.

[meflove]

The New World sucked. He would have a scene going and then out of the blue he would cut to a wildlife scene for no reason. This movie was horrible.

[MrNWA4Life]

Yeah and none of these movies would exist if it wasn't for Charles Starkweather

[kid469]

Great movie, the quiet they show is very impressive

[HeiaVincent]

This film is great! GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

BIG FAN! One of my favorite 10 movies ever!

[evanraufbold]

Excellent film and probably the most disturbing treatment of serial murder ever commited to celluloid. Blows Natural Born Killers out of the water.

[stanleyj19]

One of the best films ever made and a great trailer to got with it

[markw1984]

yeah its a class flic..its a must see and the style of dialogue has been use again so many times like in true romance and most other black comedys,,,its a very funny film in a ma way i think

[hellochynna]

I love this movie.

[poughkeepsiejohn]

One of the best films and trailers of the 1970's. My God, Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek look like they're in their teens in this movie. I love the way the trailer sets up the characters. Like the way they describe Sheen's character: "People who littered bothered him."

[requiemaeternam7]

yea that's crazy I really thought she was 15 like the character in the movie yet when I looked her up she was damn near 24-25 when this film came out.

[MalenkyGoblin]

Sheen was actually in his early 30's when this was made.

[orangevertigo]

nice trailer. cant wait to se the actual thing

[youtubmoses]

If u want to watch the movie now, then u can watch it on my channel.

[orangevertigo]

thanks, but I can probably just Netflix it. I dont like watching long stuff on a comp.
