Back in the early and mid 80's our local theater would have midnight showings of this movie. Forget how many times I saw it. Probably due to the massive amount of weed being passed from row to row. I do remember laying my head back against the seat and staring up into the film projectors light. The smoke was so thick I swear you could've cut it with a knife. Great times, great movie!
Awsome movie, who else watched this on TBS in 93 as a 12 or 11 year old with Vampire Hunter D, Robot Carnival, American Pop and Rock and Rule? i did and loved them at 12 that year. One of my favorite movies! For anyone who loves this, i recommend: Akira, Ninja Scroll, Wizards, Ghost in The Shell, Fire and Ice, Fantastic Planet, Lightyears, Starchaser Legend of Orin, The Fifth Element, Avatar, Wicked City, Rock & Rule, Urotsukidoji, South Park The Movie, Twilight Zone The Movie, Nausicaa etc.
@Johnlindsey289 dude yeah. The only ones I haven;t seen are Urotsukidoji and South Park the Movie. I don't like South Park. But yeah, dude. I'm 27 now, adn those movies are the awesome shit. MY fave is Fantastic Planet. Ghost in the SHell rocks it too.
@Johnlindsey289 yep; all those except Urotsukidoji, Orin and South Park the Movie. DOn't like South Park. it's too lewd. for my taste. But then I'm a girl, so... meh. Fantastic Planet, Aeon FLux and Vampire Hunter D totally shaped me. D is hot. So is Arislan from heroic Legend. IT's a shame they never redid that properly. Hot shit, for an animated bishou.
I see you grew up in the 80's/early 90's like i did, so you were 10 when you saw this on TBS or TNT with Vampire Hunter D, Rock and Rule, American Pop and Robot Carnival? have you seen Avatar? one of the closet movies of being like HM in live-action as Cameron is a fan of this movie and the magazine, he combined Dances with Wolves/Star Wars/Heavy Metal/Ferngully/Nausicaa (aka Warriors of the Wind)/Mononoke/Dune/Willow in one movie and does Neytiri remind you of Taarna?
@Johnlindsey289 heheh... strangely, no. Someone ELSE reminded me of Neytiri though, last night when I went on a marathon watchmovie fest on here... I cna't remember who now. Dang it. Watched some of Urotsukidoji... eww. Liked the sacred pregnancy with the Chojin thing, boyfriend turning into gateway demon thing, hero was okay.. nothing else though. too much ah... well you know. LOVe Demon City Shinjuku and Twilight of the Dark Master. Specifically the latter. Tsunami!
@Johnlindsey289 ..cyber Wars? What's that? I saw Avatar at my house. My parents and I watched it. The Blue Cat-people, not.. whatever Cyber Wars is. K? :)
Someone should do an Avatar/Heavy Metal trailer mash-up trailer with clips from this movie set to the trailer ot Avatar to make it epic since there are similarites to HM in Avatar.
@AuglereDeRosenkinde You really gotta see American Pop. It is one of my favorite movies, next to Heavy Metal, of course. I saw on the special feature of the DVD (for Heavy Metal) that to authenticate this scene, they actually used a real model of the B-17. Just as they used a real model for the Taarna dressing scene. They were oh so smart. What happened to the animators of yesterday?
In conclusion, I saw Heavy Metal for the first time at the "midnight movie" in 1982. Even at that tender age I established in my imagination the tropical island and aircraft graveyard was a kind of limbo similar in destination to where one might find vanishings of the Devil's Triangle. I see details such as the type of planes, that it was a jungle, Etc. as irrelevant. If it was meant to be historical (and Memphis Belle was not 100% by the way) and not a fantasy cartoon, it would be different.
Cont. @ParadiseOnLand, Battalion? Lee commanded the entire Army of Northern Virginia. As for jettisoning the bomb load. It is clear the plane is alone and therefore has no target. The plane has been damaged and may have trouble landing. You don't want the added wt. of the bombs and certainly don't want to try and crash-land with that kind of explosive ordinance on board.
@dennis345, Did you read wingman42a's comment about the USAAC, USAAF and finally, the USAF? This is accurate. @pythos1 and @Biscuitchris7again, The British did run the majority of the night raids on civilian targets during the "round the clock bombing" and the American sorties were mostly over militarily strategic targets, but there were exceptions to this rule. It would have been more typical to have used a British crew and plane for the scene I do admit.
Cont. The first time he crashed he was the only survivor of the ten man crew. Later in the war, with the Luftwaffe depleted, flak was faced more heavily and searchlights were used to spot them in the dark. @Rustanislaw, How is this disrespecting WWII veterans? Just because they were turned into zombies? Lighten up, it's fantasy and not historical fiction at that. @FalconKPD, A bombardier doing a "night run" uses his sights to spot city lights or fires caused by previous bomb loads.
I am writing this for a number of reasons, but first and foremost I am a military historian and make it a habit of quizing as many war veterans as possible. My latest friend is a WWII vet named Bill Chitwood. He made Col. as a bomber pilot in Korea flying the B-29 Superfortress. However, he started as a pilot in the B-17 over Germany. He told me he was shot down twice, both times returning from missions by German fighters. Both times he crash landed in the English channel.
Yeah, those and Creepshow. The B-17 segment is very E.C. comic book like. I really hope they go back to the fun and imaginative anthology format if a third Heavy Metal movie is made.
Oh yes! And i love Japanese animation! Akira,Ghost in the Shell and Metropolis, among others, are all outstanding animated features. I,m also a big fan of the highly underrated canadian animated scifi fantasy Rock'n'Rule.
Yes that's a cool one, have you seen "Fire and Ice", 'Wizards","Fist of the North Star", "Golgo 13 The Professional", "Wicked City", the recent "Haunted World of El Superbeasto", "South Park The Movie" or even the infamous NC-17 rated horror fantasy anime feature "Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend"? really nasty and gory as hell hentai flick with scenes of rape from tentacles, gore, sex, mutilation and every excess as if Clive Barker made a cartoon.
I've seen Fire and Ice, Wizards,Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence and South Park The Movie. I haven't seen Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend yet but i intend to check it out soon even though i'm not very big on hentai. A Clive Barkeresque cartoon you say? Now that i definately have to see.
As a 9-year old, my father often sat me in front of tv when he wanted his peace and quiet and showed me a bunch of animated movies.
Heavy Metal was one of them (in his opinion animated movies where made for children anyway) - this specific clip creeped the hell out of me! It haunted me for several years and inspired me later on in an artistic way LOL
Watched this at the drive thru 1981ish. Fantastic movie, was cutting edge for the time and very entertaining for a simple country kid. Especially loved how they had different bands playing songs and meshed horror with the mundane.
I remember liking this part of the film, and still do. But I just realized, B-17s never made night time raids. British Lancasters did, but American bombers were after specific targets that could only be seen during daylight.
But I still think the animation was pretty good for the genere of film.
Still, the only bad thing about this story is that the USAF never bombed during the night, we always made our runs during the day to see what we were bombing. But it wouldn't be a creepy story if it were during the day. Ehhh, is okay though...cool movie.
well first of all it was the U.S. Army Air Corp only until June 1941, then it was known as the U.S. Army Air Force until 1947 when it became the USAF, if you want to be a smart ass about it
@dennis345 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.
IF that's bombing how come the creators of this movie only devoted 1 single second to such an event, personally, I think they're escaping from the enemy and getting rid of overweight on the plane, besides, there´s no target whatsoever underneath just jungle.
They devoted 7 seconds actually, if you payed any attention you would have seen that the first time, and 7 seconds is 168 frames at 24 fps which is the standard for film. So the animators and artists had to draw, color, and digitize 168 separate frames just for that scene... So I would say they devoted enough effort in my opinion. If there was no target why are there anti-aircraft cannons placed below them, seeing as though they are taking flak the entire time over the "target?"
Your damn right but I was answering to biscuitchriswhatever ( another user ) who just drove me out of my mind, this is my favourite scene ever and I wasn't going to let it be blemished with all those negative comments he made. Goddamn smartguys, they should be banned from youtube.
@sscrystal10 When a bomber gets shotup like that and allot of them did, the crew would jettison the bombload so that the remaining engines could keep them aloft, and all the fuel being lost would not also have to carry all the extra weight of the ordnance load. They’d throw out the machineguns & ammunition too, when self defense became less important than making it to friendly territory.
@Biscuitchris7again That is not true. US Army Air Corps //rarely// bombed at night, but it did happen. PTO had more nighttime raids than ETO, but even so they did happen.
I see, the developers of this movie don't respect heroes, who fought on Pacific Ocean in WW2... it's disgusting! I'm russian... I like B-17 - this legendary fortress... but I don't like this movie...
I am american this movie is fiction work that comes from a set of stories from a comic called Heavy Metal that was place into a movie. I can assure you, no actual B-17's had been used in the production of this movie nor any real heroes. Maybe some LSD was taken in the production of this movie but that is a whole other issue.
@cafelattefuture I remember the first time I saw this movie, my friends and I were 8-10 and we were convinced that the B-17 part was real. I also got grounded for a week, when my mom saw what I was watching. So worth it.
@phuturephunk 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.
@RuStanislaw It seems to me that the movie creators did veterans of the PTO a respect, by remembering them enough to show the truth of them being shot to pieces and left all alone as a cripple, to fend for themselves. The movie makers even give the end of this skit, an unhappy ending. The AC is surrounded and eaten.
Yes, they do. Amazon has it I think-Also on the DVD is the deleted sequence idea called Neverwhere Land by Cony Cole. Brilliant idea that never made it into the final movie.
The bomber seems to go down soon after releasing it's explosives. I wonder how close the island with the zombies were to the target of the B17.
If the Japanese survived the allied attack, they may also have had to contend with the undead as well since the two islands could have been pretty close one another. In that case, perhaps if the pilot of the bomber high-tailed it out of there, he could have swam to the the very place he meant to destroy. The corpses seemed to move slow.
Totally one of the best shorts in the movie. haha, I remember when me and my friend randomly found the whole movie dubbed on a VHS tape that was from another friend...huge inspiration to me and drawing when growing up.
Everyone who saw this movie loves this fucking bit merely becuase that song is the best in the whole soundtrack, even though this bit isn't much--that song can send you on a trip without any aid of a narcotic.
When the dude was surrounded by the zombies in the jungle....freaky stuff man!!! I don't know what I'd do if I were him! The movie rocks though...gotta get off of my heroin fix while watching, but the movie is cool though either way.
The images captured by this film segment actually occurred to my uncle, a B24 pilot during WW2. Came back once the only man alive on his ship. He won't discuss his memories, but this film constantly gets to me. Talk to your elders, those who will talk at least. Of course the music rocks as well.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Thank you for killing my adolescent hard-on buzz with the memories of actual pain and death inside a real war machine.
Next time... Just go to the Martha Stewart thread to comment. I'm here living out my inner 14-year old where no one ever dies and glory lives on the edge of gritted teeth and a shiny battle axe.
Great movie, great music. I had read this particular segment (B-17) was first conceived as being Aliens instead of zombies. The idea was (somehow) an Alien (like the movies) egg was on board, infected one of the crew during the long flight, hatched, killed the others and the guy finally parachutes down to an island that's infested with Aliens! Would have been interesting. ps- South Park did a good tribute to the movie and music (the recent "cheesing" episode).
I remember watching this as a kid. Flipping it to HBO when I knew I wasnt supposed to. I went from Tom and Jerry to this so my brain warped that day. I was never the same. Beautiful...just beautiful. I was only Nine or something like that
Definately the best part of the "Heavy Metal" film and best song too.
Nitpick: The waistgunners and navigator are inexplicably killed by machine guns (presumably from enemy fighter planes). The enemy would never have sent fighters after bombers during a flak barrage for fear of losing their own planes.
Considering this scene is set at night, and the B-17 is named Pacific Pearl, it appears to be a raid against the Japanese. I think the Japanese might have been crazy enough to send fighters up in the middle of their own flak.

@Biscuitchris7again That is not true. US Army Air Corps //rarely// bombed at night, but it did happen. PTO had more nighttime raids than ETO, but even so they did happen.

I see, the developers of this movie don't respect heroes, who fought on Pacific Ocean in WW2... it's disgusting! I'm russian... I like B-17 - this legendary fortress... but I don't like this movie...
RuStanislaw 3 years ago
I am american this movie is fiction work that comes from a set of stories from a comic called Heavy Metal that was place into a movie. I can assure you, no actual B-17's had been used in the production of this movie nor any real heroes. Maybe some LSD was taken in the production of this movie but that is a whole other issue.

@cafelattefuture I remember the first time I saw this movie, my friends and I were 8-10 and we were convinced that the B-17 part was real. I also got grounded for a week, when my mom saw what I was watching. So worth it.

Minus the undead skeletons, this is exactly what it was like when a B17 got shot the fuck up by fighters/Anti Aircraft measures.
It was a pretty hazardous job.

@phuturephunk 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.

@RuStanislaw It seems to me that the movie creators did veterans of the PTO a respect, by remembering them enough to show the truth of them being shot to pieces and left all alone as a cripple, to fend for themselves. The movie makers even give the end of this skit, an unhappy ending. The AC is surrounded and eaten.

The bomber seems to go down soon after releasing it's explosives. I wonder how close the island with the zombies were to the target of the B17.
If the Japanese survived the allied attack, they may also have had to contend with the undead as well since the two islands could have been pretty close one another. In that case, perhaps if the pilot of the bomber high-tailed it out of there, he could have swam to the the very place he meant to destroy. The corpses seemed to move slow.
Run man run!

The images captured by this film segment actually occurred to my uncle, a B24 pilot during WW2. Came back once the only man alive on his ship. He won't discuss his memories, but this film constantly gets to me. Talk to your elders, those who will talk at least. Of course the music rocks as well.

Great movie, great music. I had read this particular segment (B-17) was first conceived as being Aliens instead of zombies. The idea was (somehow) an Alien (like the movies) egg was on board, infected one of the crew during the long flight, hatched, killed the others and the guy finally parachutes down to an island that's infested with Aliens! Would have been interesting. ps- South Park did a good tribute to the movie and music (the recent "cheesing" episode).

Definately the best part of the "Heavy Metal" film and best song too.
Nitpick: The waistgunners and navigator are inexplicably killed by machine guns (presumably from enemy fighter planes). The enemy would never have sent fighters after bombers during a flak barrage for fear of losing their own planes.
CaptainConfederacy 4 years ago
Considering this scene is set at night, and the B-17 is named Pacific Pearl, it appears to be a raid against the Japanese. I think the Japanese might have been crazy enough to send fighters up in the middle of their own flak.
