Tron Theatrical Trailer

Disney took a few big exciting risks in the late 70's and early 80's. One was "The Black Hole", being the most expensive film ever made in 1979. The second was "Tron", released in 1982. I'm a big fan of this flick. It has such a unique visual signature that is unsurpassed by any other film to this day. Only "Blade Runner" comes close. Of course, the premise makes the visuals possible. Made at a time when taking risks with original material was sensible instead of relying on sequels or comic books, video games and toys for cinematic inspiration.

This film should have been inventive for 1982. but why did it not get an acadamy award for best special effects?

@94style No remake. Sequel. Right down to the original grip, director, boom mic operator, etc. With a second sequel imminent.

im not sure if the 1911 button is worth being on this vid. but sure as hell makes it entertaining at the part with the light-bikes and them red guys dying

Hands down..the orig out weighs the remake....as usual.

@ChiefX its funny because it kind of is cheating.

It's because back then it was seen as "cheating", if you use computers for special effects. Yep, sounds hilarious, as today almost every special effect is done on the computer xD
