Star Trek: The Cage / Menagerie -- The Rescue-Assault For Capt. Pike (w/ Marvel Avengers music!)

- In the pilot episode of Star Trek (the original series), the Talosians abduct Captain Christopher Pike, commander of the starship Enterprise. A rescue mission is planned for a direct assault with the ship's weaponary against the laser-resistant entrance of his captors' underground complex.
With a recent viewing of The Avengers movie that left it's theme music ringing in my ears for days, I just knew this would be the perfect "rescue-assault music" (trimmed to fit, of course) for that all-sound-effects Star Trek sequence. While at it, I also resized the Star Trek picture from "square" TV (standard for the 1960's when this was made) to today's "widescreen" experience! It now sings!
Always loved how she yelled "disengage" at the sky at the end without utilizing her communicator.
Love this forbidden planet era star trek......
I love that they got through the door immediately but they didn’t know! 😄
A hologram projecting walls and doors would come in real handy in defence.
Oh the colors!!!
OMG the colors rocked. I have not seen colors like that since the movie -The Forbidden Planet.
There's an urban legend that says that Gene Roddenberry was inspired by the scene of the crew of the C57D battling the ID monster from "Forbidden Planet" with their "blaster cannons" to create this scene.
An awesome illusion of power in many ways.
This laser canon cut through the metal like butter-when the illusion was no longer revealed.
It's all an illusion but more precisely it's all a simulation/AI construct of ones & zeros=they never made it out of the zoo/menagerie/cave/cage & you never ever do as Q said in All Good Things. Westworld has done a recent take on this the first episode of the new season rightfully called The Cage.
@@johnmastroligulano7401 Who is "they" never made it out.
It completely obliterated that entire mountain range.
It looked like it didn't even make a dent.
Talk about going nuts waiting for the elevator!
That's not the musical score and it's annoying
This action scene in one word: POWER!!
Mean while there is a giant hole where that elevator used to be.
Star trek tos had great sci fi stories.
Pilot was great.
The pilot was the best, because it emphasized science and a meaningful story over personalities and egos. It is too bad this version of the Enterprise crew could not have been retained.
An iconic moment in sci-fi history. Great edit!
Don't need the modern music. Ruins it. Never mess with an original.
Agreed, just as they ruined Star Trek as a whole with that cheesy next generation stuff. The Original Star Trek series is the ONLY BEST STAR TREK OUT THERE, PERIOD.
@@danbasta3677 I must agree with you Dan.
What an awesome weapon-! One day will be reality.
STARFLEET ASSEMBLE!!!
The ships engines are feeding that thing.
Probably could level New York w that power.
The size of the canon must limit the power from the warp drive. ( I am assuming that was the power source) but a starship can generate a lot of power.
Would really like to have seen how that worked - transferring power from orbit. Must've been a REALLY long extension cord! 😆
If so, the whole knoll should have been leveled, not just the entry.
@@markreeter6227 Probably Blue Tooth.
Thank you for making and posting this. I love The Avengers and Star Trek!
At 0:40 I love the way Number One says: "...Increase to FULL POWER..." and The Avengers music swells and the cannon blasts away! Awesome! Nice edit!
It’s nice and every time I watch this of course I am routing for humanity to blast to the captain’s rescue from those brainy aliens! Lol
This was one of many great SFX from "The Cage"/"The Menagerie". In the pilot episode, the term "phaser" had not yet been introduced, but in the context of the series we might suppose that one of the ship's main phasers had been transported to the site of the Talosian elevator, mounted and rigged to receive energy beamed from the ship. It turned out that the "indestructible" elevator was really just a Talosian telepathic illusion, so that 6.2 zettawatt phaser beam must have shot off into far space.
This was still considered a laser canon.
The Laser Cannon is more likely to be a field artillery piece carried for the exact purpose seen in the pilot. A sort of Star Fleet pack howitzer for the contingent of marines that all cruisers carry.
A weapon from the ship's actually built in defence battery would be massive by comparison.
Excellent point. The phaser or laser turret would be massive.
@@spockvskhan4561 And, you will note that like the the phaser rifle, this is the first and last time you have seen a laser cannon.
Let me share this story with you: I always thought that carrying the old style laser canon would have been a great sub plot in Star Trek: Nemesis. Picard requested a concentrated phaser fire blast while the Enterprise was decimated. Commander La Forge responded that phasers were only at 4%. What if the Enterprise would have been relocating the old laser canon to planet x or to a starbase, etc. Now, the laser canon would have it's own power pack and would not be detected by Picard 2.0 . That would have been a nice arc to the story. A diversion or something....
Avengers music is ok - but you coved up some the best sound effects ever used in any Star Trek show.
yep. the increasing noise and blasting was great. the music dubbed over sucked
AGREED!
Dude, the music makes Star Trek. The Doomsday Machine was the best music to ever come out of Star Trek.
My thoughts exactly . I like the avengers theme, but it was inappropriate for this scene.
The power generating sound would be later used as the Enterprise would go into warp drive.
totally agree music is distracting
It s not distracting.
Definitely distracting.
Love that phazer cannon.
This one would be great for home defense !
Why is the Death Star stalking you?
Like the phaser rifle, this is the first and last time you will ever see a laser cannon. Think about it.
We also see phaser cannons in TNG, actually. As well as an industrial laser.
@@Idazmi7 I think they did have an espresso machine too
@@tonray9395
They did.
Not. We have laser cannons on our naval Destroyers, just not that big.
When you said Avengers I was thinking Patrick MacNee and (ooh la la) Linda Thorson.
I think it's too bad they didn't have a woman as 2nd in command in the original series. She actually made all the right and logical decisions, including abandoning the captain, although she was prevented from it.
This show was a century ahead of its time, which is appropriate, it's science fiction.
How long til we see such a weapon in reality? not far i think.
3 To 5 years...it's A hybrid laser/ partical beam super weapon.
Blueprints are already in the works.
I loved this scene - SO COOL, but it looks like No. 1 yells up to the ship to "disengage".
She's yelling to the team of engineers running the power coupling (off camera).
@@johnborges5938
YES, of course you are right. Can we ship one of these to Ukraine?
@@catman8965 - Brilliant. Love to.
I don't remember that tacky music for some reason.
I just love it how the Enterprise is listening from orbit so to stop the phaser cannon Majel Barrel merely has to give a shout to the Enterprise in Orbit to "Disengage!" Boy the CIA and NSA would be so jealous !!
I always found that such a strange thing to add both to the scene and script.
Number One did not yell to the Enterprise dolt, She gave instructions to a nearby crewman....
What crewman? She was looking up and shouting at Spock who was in the ship...
@@ronaldsykes6105 Well, I dunno; I assumed that she was shouting to a ground crew member to shut down the piece, and Spock was just transmitting the ship's power to the surface somehow.
Please re-upload this as HD, love this. Thanks
This was the titan episode along with where no man has gone before that started everything- TOS, TNG, DS9, STV. And the movie franchise.
This clip is only made better by the music.
Idiotic change. The original music complemented the scene and flowed from it. The Avengers score overwhelms the action.
nix the music,, do not put peanut butter in applesauce
A great scene but the Marvel music ruined it for me.
I must get me one o them phaser cannons! 😉 But....we learn....the power of illusion is even more powerful! 😯
Well, you fire a weapon like that an object you can walk away assured there was molecular damage. Illusion or not..."Would you like me to test my theory on your head.?" -Christoper Pike
Excellent! Perfectly edited and timed! Do more!!!
Always thought that all the old Star Trek needed was a little updating with music and special effects ... :-)
I'm sure you know that the FX of Star Trek TOS were already updated and remastered, but I must disagree regarding the original music needing updating. TOS music was pretty groovy as is, however, this mix was brilliant. If memory serves, however, the original scene didn't have music at all, relying on the intense action and suspense with the sound FX to carry through. Still, your point is made, Woody Barrett, because this Avengers music fit so well with the timing and all. BTW, I'm 55 and was there during Star Trek's debut. I also collected the comic books of the day, including the Avengers. Great stuff.
Darryl Smith Yes, you were there, as was I
@@danarseti The ehanced stuff was unnessary as the Original Star Trek series was perfect as it was, didn't need updating. Ssme goes with any music that was added in it, didn't need it.
Dan Basta, you are not wrong. I totally agree, TOS ep is perfect as is, without music, allowing the action of the scene to stand on its own. I was merely commenting on the choice and timing of the "Avengers" music that fits the scene. On an aside note; although I enjoy Star Trek Discovery, I can only accept it as a straight-up reboot or alternate timeline. How dare the showrunners keep insisting it takes place in the Prime Canon. And there's no such thing as a "Prime Timeline" if you choose to "visually update." IMHO, if they really want to show how fancy the Trek Tech can be in the Prime Canon, they should have made it take place post-Voyager. It wouldn't have taken much to rework the characters/circumstances to line up with the Prime Canon. e.g. the Sarek/Spock angle could have been 24th or 25th century descendants and the Klingon visual update could have been a retrogress virus or something based on the 22nd Century Augments from Star Trek Enterprise. I see for the second season, however, the Discovery showrunners are caving in on the Klingons by giving them TNG type hair and beards and bringing back the TOS D7. In conclusion, I can appreciate a fan updating the music for a TOS scene as a "Hey, that's cool" kind-o goof, but for CBS to attempt to visually update a perfect show and make it like this is how is "should" have been is an insult. I stand by my opinion(s); this You Tube video updating the music of a TOS scene is cute and cool, but does not affect TOS. Star Trek Discovery is an alternate timeline (Period)
Added music a waste!
WHO PUT THAT MOST INAPPROPRIATE MUSIC IN THERE?? The other commentators were right! Never mess with an original, you'll never, and I mean never improve upon it.
What's the name of the song?
The laser cannon is Kewel!
Majell was smoking hot when she was blonde!!!
Very cool. Where do I get a phaser cannon?
That one's still sitting around on a desolate, burned-out plain on Talos IV
Who comes up with this stuff? I mean, really, taking a 50 year old scene from a great sci-fi tv program and mixing it with the modern day music from a superhero movie. It's brilliant. And the music is timed perfectly with the action. Well done. Well done.
What is the name of that music?
MORE SUPER WEAPONS LIKE THE HYDRON COLLIDER
NOT SCIENCE FICTION ANYMORE.
INTERESTING.
What ?
Why this BS music?
Love this forbidden planet era star trek......
