  • @kidkyryte, epic win of the epoch

  • Where is part 1

  • I just feel like I'm watching a movie about John Watson traveling to distant planets. I may have a problem. :P

  • This movie makes good use of warped irony wich is somewhat nice.

  • ok, is the actor who plays the part of Arthur Stephen Merchant aka the dude that did the voice of Wheatley in Portal 2?

  • @JessicaGoldsword No, It's Martin Freeman. He plays John Watson in Sherlock. Stephen Merchant isn't in this movie.

  • They have the theme song for the TV show! Nice shout out! :)

  • It was brilliant up to 1:00 , though I did like Steven Fry as the voice of the guide.

  • awesome, thanks for uploading this!

  • i wonder what would happen if you asked the guide about time lords.

  • this is a crazy movie. similar to dr who at times.

  • @creativeprojects720 this was originally written back in the 70s for the radio, Douglas Adams also wrote couple screen plays for Dr Who.. it does not compare to the book, and misses a lot out. The TV series goes into a bit more depth and combines the first 2 books.. earth is not discovered again till the end of the second book. so yes a lot was left out.

  • @eviltigz I see. interesting. 

  • kinda disappointed that they left out the whole god argument with the babble fish. "and thus god disappeared in a puff of logic." one of the most hilarious parts in the book imo

  • @csinyfanforever Don't worry, it's a deleted scene. You can probably find it with a bit of searching.

  • i liked the movie alot, i just wished they'd given the role of Ford to someone else. Ford was always my favorite character, and Mos really didn't seem to fill the shoes that David Dixon did in the original BBC series.

  • Why the hell did they give the role of Ford to Mos Def? 

  • Why would they put the title with the dophins when they have it right here with the actual book in this part

  • "the president of the mid galactic arts knobling council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off."

    good times, good times :)

  • I think I have heard of Ode to a lump of putty I found in my armpit one midsummer morning... tWas very good actualy ;3

  • I wonder how many people commented on this video just to have already seen it and declare how horrible they think it is. o3o I myself am only watching it for Martin Freeman.

  • i hear the 007 Theme!

  • @gatorgurl4life2 -- in soviet russia, the 007 theme hears you!

  • @gatorgurl4life2

    Yeah, it's the same chord progression.

  • This movie is fucking terrible. I've had enough.

  • look lively

    lol

  • Anyone catch the cow getting her jollies from the farmer? >;)

  • @WildBuck007 it was cruel the way he shot her down.

  • I clicked on the wrong part three too, The18plusOver.

  • this is the first ipad ever made

  • I love how you can watch entire movies on youtube. (if you can find them)

  • dw

  • who else clicked the wrong "part 3" video?

  • @The18plusOver About 83 people who clicked the "Thumbs Up" button on your comment.

  • @The18plusOver

    LOL!

  • @Szminsky ikr

  • @The18plusOver

    Everyone.

  • y didnt alan rickman narrorate this....

  • @seastar567 I don't think it would have been as effective. I think they hit the casting right on the mark. Actually the only role that took me a while to warm up to was Zaphod. Stephen Fry is the perfect choice for the narrator. Not only is he a fan of literature, but he can deliver lines with the intellectual precision that is required for that part.

  • @NorthWriter ah I see but alan is a fan of literature as well, and he has a cool voice he could do the part and he speaks quite well as you probably know, and he also has the intellectual precision you were talking about, he has done alot of literature. but I argee with you on the Zaphod thing totally :D.

  • I have come up with the answer to one of our biggest questions and that question is god really there? (any god really) but the answer to that is on pg.666 in the bible.

    666 is the devils address I belive but if you look on that pg it will give you numbers or a list in my bible figure the rest out :)

  • After the introduction of wik----ks the history of the fatal poem had to be rewritten due to a lost in translation: it was not a lump of green putty that created the mortal smell that reached the nostrils of the deceased audience: it was a whole plate of kelp anko dessert don by a dislexic japanesee chef who misread extra jelly he added extra wasabi, caused a hemorrhagic poisonous dysentery and explosive case of expanding flatulence. This case of very bad, mortal poem could be explained but yout

  • What is the tune at the start. I must have!

  • @herbo102 It's called Journey of the Sorcerer

  • Great song at the beginning

  • Comment removed

  • 7:56 My face when I hear Bieber on the radio.

  • Comment removed

  • does anyone know the name of the song that starts in the beginning?

  • @samysasy419 its the original opening theme from the radio show and tv series of hitch hikers. it has a name (i think) but it was made for the radio show.

  • @samysasy419 Journey of the Sorcerer remixed specially by joby talbot for the film

  • @jetfirexx originally by the eagles

  • 6:30 do i se jabba the hutt

  • Love the Reginald Perrin reference in the Vogon's definition!

  • I'm definitely naming my extended essay "Who is this God Person Anyway?" and I might even include "Don't Panic" somewhere.

  • For me, the Vogons are the funniest Aliens existing.

  • little big planet?!

  • EXTERMINATE!!!!! .........POETRY!!!!! [dr. and these guys: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!]

  • My favorite way to find great stuff to watch; rummage around the internet until you read the title of a good movie/show and look it up on Youtube. Worked great so far. :D

  • "resistance is useless"

    it's better when the daleks say it ;D

  • i love that quaint little banjo solo at the beginning.

    it's so epicly cosmic.

  • @InexplicableHat

    I take your point. I haven't seen the TV series myself so I can't compare. But I still think this film couldn't have taken inspiration from anywhere else. It's still plainly an adaptations of Adams' novel. I had the audiobook of him reading it and I think that was the best version. I'm apalled the film didn't do that well. And before you argue it's because of its difference to the book, it was mainly because so many never read the book. That's the biggest shame IMO.

  • 00:00 to 1:00 so fucking epic

    happy towel day 2011 everyone

  • I need THAT fish in my ear!

  • It's such as shame that Douglas wasn't able to see this. Nothing can compare to the book itself but this film was full of his humor and brilliant imagery. If anything, this film is equally a homage to the author.

  • @AlexRichardVocat

    The movie itself focuses too much on physical humor and cheap laughs. It lacks the subtlety of British comedy and wittyness found in the BBC television series (adapted from the radio series). For instance, during the Vogon poetry reading, the old BBC TV series had actual snippets of poetry from each of the bad poets the Guide lists displayed onscreen.

  • @AlexRichardVocat

    Also, things like the ""Ape-descendant, your face is very strange. It must be odd not to see your own mouth." shown during the explanation for Babel Fish merely added to the subtle humor in the BBC TV series. You don't see that in this movie, and for that reason it's nowhere near as solid as the TV series adaptation. If I were Adams I would basically have said "why didn't you simply air the TV series in a movie theater?" and then gone back to rolling in my grave.

  • @AlexRichardVocat

    Furthermore, they cut out the MOST HILARIOUS part of the Babel Fish guide entry: the proof for the non-existence of God. Essentially, this movie is basically butchered, cutting out parts that made the book/TV/radio adaptations funny while choosing to focus more on... visual action? Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was never an action oriented book, so this change is bizarre at best, and jarring at worst.

  • @AlexRichardVocat HE WROTE THE SCREENPLAY!!

  • ‎"The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool

    They lay. They rotted. They turned

    Around occasionally

    Bits of flesh dropped off them from

  • the bit right at the beginning of this video was my $5 worth for seeing it in the theater. Just to have the original theme music wash over everyone, basically saying "Yeah, it's Hitchhiker's" :-D

  • should have expected twilight jokes (:

  • What is that opening song?

  • @TheGunnerson journey of the sorcerer - joby talbot

  • @skoolbus09 But his music will have been destroyed when the Earth was.

    And thank God for that :)

  • They left out my favourite joke :(-

    The babel fish is also one of the main arguments that God does not exist.

    God: I need faith, without it I am nothing.

    Man:But the Babelfish proves you exist therefore making your argument invalid.

    God: Oh yeah. Opps

    God vanishes in a puff of logic. Then man goes for an encore by proving black is white and getting run over on a zebra crossing.

  • @heyhey706 It's a deleted scene on the DVD!

  • @heyhey706 This was actually included in the deleted scenes on the DVD.

  • they left out so much :(

  • The BABELfish for translation lol

  • What is that??

    Put this in your ear.

    Haah??

  • vogon poetry is better than justin beibers songs!

  • What I find so fascinating about this particular scene is I remember watching this in theaters and thinking how much of a stretch it would be to consider digital books - flat screen books that are hand held, interactive, and far more convenient than paper books because they can store so much more than just one book. Now look at us. Kindles and iPads everywhere.

  • @tourniquette1988 I totally love my kindle. . . after I got out of the habit of accidentally sitting on it that is.

  • Comment removed

  • @tourniquette1988 thats od you said that because i read all the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy on a kobo

  • @tourniquette1988 ya but this movie is the absoulute worst that i have ever seen there is a god and i dont understand why any film producer would invest his money on this piece of shit u should have ran out of the movie theater while you still could

  • @TheToolfan123 Cuz god is logical

  • @TheCrabby09 no i know hes real dont follow what this man said cause hes burning in hell

  • @TheToolfan123 Why is he burning in hell? What a useless Christian conformity. Just because someone is taking something in perspective doesn't mean it challenges your point of view. Get over it.

  • @tourniquette1988 Inspired by the one and only

  • Resistance is useless.

  • 14 people like Vogon poetry.

  • does anyone know who composed the music at the beginning of this clip? thanks! :)

  • @electricmagnetic The theme song is based of of "Journey of the Sorcerer" by the Eagles :)

  • they cut out the conversation with the guard :(

  • "Resistance is... useless" lol

  • why does the music sound so much like the James Bond theme, and what is it really if it isn't

  • I actually love the fact that they managed to get the original theme tune into the movie :D

  • i wish the actual hitchhikers guide book was a proper Book and not some charmless electric thing.

    Would of been much funnier if arthur had to scamble though the paper pages looking up what he needed to know and read it aloud.

    plus it would of had more charm and felt more rubbish/british than some fancy up to date technological gadget!

  • @SuperYellow1989 In Adams's original book, it is described as looking like a calculator, if I recall correctly. That's definitely not a book.

  • @Mapariensis

    yeh true i think in the book it is like a ipad type thing.

     i just meant i WISH it had been some tired looking dusty old thing , like the ones you find in second hand book shops. Just thought it'd be funnier in the world of spaceships and technology to have this ancient old book falling apart !

  • @Mapariensis and it has various buttons and a lable saying"DON'T PANIC!" in big friendly letters!

  • @SuperYellow1989 The H2G2 was always an electronic book, right from the begenning in the70s. Except it wasn't voice activated then. You had to scroll down the index and then tap in the code in the original version.

  • @JoHack

    I already answered, ive read all the books i know its electric, my meaning was i WISH it was proper book

  • @SuperYellow1989

    you mean rummage through the several inconveniently large buildings required to carry it around in?

  • @TheFr00d

    i think this whole story makes us need to suspend reality, SO it could still be a normal sized book and be even weirder that it has SO much info inside such a small book

  • @SuperYellow1989

    In the book, it gives a detailed description of the guide, (it looks like a largish electronic calculator and insanely complicated) and notes that it exists as a "micro sub meson electronic component is that if it were printed in normal book form, an interstellar hitch hiker would require several inconveniently large buildings to carry it around in."

    So while I suppose it "Could have" been like a normal book if Adams had wanted, Hitchhikers canon proves that he didn't.

  • @TheFr00d

    god ...i actually dont care anymore lol i wish i never bothered saying anything, didnt realise everyone would jump down my throat!

    ok ok lets leave it as the electric thingy, 4got what i said!

  • I love the intro music. It's old sounding like Dr. Who, but kind of inspirational.

  • they shouldnt have even made the movie. there's no point when they have to leave out so much... in this 10 min clip alone they left out the conversation with the vogon guard, the captain saying that "he just had an unpleasant love affair and he doesnt see why anyone else should be happy", and the dentrassi. i do like Fry narrating though.

  • @richdog89 That's just in the nature of movies. You always have to leave out stuff. Otherwise you'd end up with a 260-hour movie.

  • @antred11

    of course that's the nature of the movie. i'm not complaining about the nature of movies. i'm complaining about degrading a piece of art to turn a quick profit. (of course that's the nature of hollywood). it's comparable to making an 8-bit version of the sistine chapel and saying it's just as good as the original, and that if you've seen the 8-bit version you don't need to see the original.

  • That has to be the most epic intro EVER.

  • like if you first thought something really bad was gonna happen when the microphones came down..... :P

  • I know it's just a movie but i got really upset at the idea of the Earth ceasing to exist.

    :(

  • Is it just me or do the vogons look like their wearing gimp suits?

  • @roryoliverdock it's not just you.

  • The chief Vogon's voice sounds like Martin Clunes...is that right?

  • You know, he violated his own statement. He said they had a choice of being thrown off the ship OR telling him what they thought of his poetry. Arthur told him what he thought, so the Vogon should have let him go. Lying bureaucratic git.

  • Don't Panic

  • where's bob when you need him??

  • 3:10 wtf is he doing> hahaha looks piontles to me

  • i shall now recite, Ode to a lump of green putty i found in my armpit one mid-summer morning. (spleen kills brain)

  • lol i love mos def's face when the vogon is reading poetry at 8:12 lol

  • It looks like an iPad

  • @Ihsiew25 no, an ipad looks like the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

  • the vogon at 5:49 kinda looks like justin bieber.

  • @legojoker111 Will you shut the fuck up and not mention him here?!

  • lol i love the way he pulls the fish out of his ear and points at it

  • What's the song at the beginning?

  • @AlphaPhox That's the main HGTTG theme from the radio program and TV series.

  • id be pissed if you stuck something in my ear. and id also being making some strange face. i love the face he made it was hilarious.

  • i want to see them having sex

  • @randomthoughtsfromwe I have a very clever answer for that! Just tell me one thing; Who's them?

  • Incidentally, Vogon novel writing is the second worst in the universe- the worst belonging to Miss Stephenie Meyer of the planet Earth...

  • @videogamenostalgia Um, no. The worst poetry ever was written by Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings, formerly of Earth.

  • @videogamenostalgia

    if the earth ever did get destoyed i would always think about how she died and it will make it worth it

  • @videogamenostalgia thanks to the Vogons at least 6 billion people no longer have to hear about her novels or their movie adaptations.

  • @videogamenostalgia here being one of he reasons for the defenition of humans being changed from "harmless" to "mostly harmless"

  • @videogamenostalgia

    Actually sir, Vogon POETRY is the THIRD worst in the universe, the second being of Azgoths of Kria, and of course, the worst belonging to Stephenie Meyer of planet Earth.

  • @videogamenostalgia

    OOOOOhHhhh I see what you meant, that besides poetry..... ya i get it nvm

  • @videogamenostalgia Fortunately it was destroyed when the Earth was.

  • @videogamenostalgia you said it!

  • I want to know where I can find a replica of that book

  • Whats the song in the beginning?

  • @SlayAndPlay this one?

    journey of the sourcer by the Eagles

  • @FlyingAce1016 thx :D

    and yea i want a copy of that book too :P

  • Is it just me or do the vogons look like the dress in s&m?

  • does anyone know the name of the song at the beginning of the sequence

  • A Borg Vogon. Double trouble

  • We are Borg *cough* I mean Vogon resistance is futile *cough* I mean useless.

  • 2 intros?

  • Love the intro theme, really memorable.

  • good intro

  • Y'know, I think I'd invest in an iPad if I could buy a case for it that looked like this version of the guide.

  • 02:54 If someone said that to me I would freak out!!!

  • wish I had one of those leaches on my ear and one for speaking the others languge. I would pass all my foreign language classes right now

  • 7:44

    What it feels like to read twilight. In my opinion.

  • @Firedragonime your comment made me laugh

  • Comment removed

  • the only way that this movie could get better is if the current Doctor made an appearance, i think he would get along well with Ford

  • mos def's voice is so much better in german...

  • i love that theme. WHOA sass that hoopy Mos Def! Now there's a frood who knows where his towel is!

  • Froody

  • I simply cannot think of a better voice for The Guide than Stephen Fry. I am so fucking pissed that Douglas Adams had to croak during production of the film series - I wanted to see it finished! FUCK!

  • @kalibos Is that why they can't do more?? Awww... :(

  • "Arthur... your home planet has been... blown up." *hug*

    haha :) love it.
