- From the 1981 Canadian-American animated film Heavy Metal.
VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED, video contains scenes of extreme graphic violence and gore that may be disturbing or distressing to some viewers.
When the pilot stumbles into the plane graveyard, you see a twin-engine plane with a circular antenna on top of the cockpit. That's a Lockheed Model 10 Electra. The plane flown by Amelia Earhart on he attempt to fly around the world. A nice little touch, I thought.
Douglas Berry So Amelia Earhart's corpse is likely one of the undead? That's pretty awesome.
There's also an early US Navy Jet laying around there.
As well as a couple b-17s, a p38 lightning, an a6m2n Zeke "Rufe", a p51 mustang, an f6f hellcat, a j2m2 raiden, an f1m pete, a p40 warhawk, a p47 thunderbolt, a Vickers wellington and an f8f bearcat. That's as many as I can tell, lol yes I'm a nerd.
Learn something new everyday. Thank you!✌️
@Stargeneral410 still better than Oklahoma.
The plane graveyard appears to exist outside of time as evidenced by the fact that a jet is present. Really adds an extra dimension of weirdness to the scene
Weren't the jets already a thing around 1945? The one I noticed looks like Messeschmitt Me.262
At 6:36 there is what appears to be an F-4 phantom on the left side of the screen, that’s definitely not a WWII plane
The original movie script heavily implies that the island does indeed exist outside time and reality, but in what capacity is up to interpretation. A lot of the story was cut, so only the sinister atmosphere of the island remains, which may not be a bad thing. Perhaps Skip didn't survive the raid after all, but went down with his other crew and is now stuck in pilot hell. That would gel with the overall Kubrickian feel of the story.
@@sweetbiscuitsntea The very end of the VHS version of Heavy Metal actually goes into some of the cut content. Including a run up to this story which covers all of human history as influenced by The Orb. It's funny that the B-17 is named Pacific Pearl but when looking at the cut content it's supposed to be a bombing mission over Europe. Sort of foreshadowing him ending up on a tropical island at the very end.
Well the Loc Nar probably had something to do with that too.
Thing is, even without the supernatural stuff this is horrifying.
Because war is hell. People often gets injured and killed there.
What supernatural stuff
@@Gwestytears The zombie stuff that happens with the Loc-Nar.
No that stuff happened all the time in ww2
Thats why we got nazi zombies gamemode
To this day, even after almost forty years, anytime I hear this song, my first thought is of B-17's flying through flak.
Agreed, I hear the song on my playlist as I am driving between LA and Vegas and this plays as the video in my head, every time.
I think of the parody version where Gerald from South Park is driving
I think of this and kenny in his thunder bird lol.
It was a severe impression for me at that time, I have the same feelings.
same here
One of the interesting things to me (besides the horror story, which was excellent) was that these bombers weren't attacking Germany, but were likely involved in the Battle of the Bismark Sea, an attack on Japanese transport ships. While the battle was successful the B-17s were attacked repeatedly by A6M Zeroes and very heavy antiaircraft cover, which wreaked havoc until the defenses could be scattered. That's probably why this bomber was so heavily damaged; they were going up not against Bf-109s but Zeroes. It's also why when the captain abandoned the bomber he landed on a small island.
Way to over analyze a great scene in a movie that was made for stoners.
@@3970danny bro thats exactly what stoners do though they watch and over analyze shit.
Well,.....they named it Pacific Peril........that was a clue.
Well in the last few seconds you can see a Japanese zero in the plane wreckage
Historically japanese planes went up in the air with very diverse but generally worse armament than Bf-109s so I don't know what you're on about. Also why the Battle of the Bismark Sea? B17s were used extensively during the pacific war against airfields, and many of them were used during different night time air raids, so again are you just saying random shit? The only reason we know it's japan is because he lands on an island by the end and some planes vaguely ressemble Zeroes.
1:59. I love the wind sound effect they did here with no other sounds. Just horrifying.
Very haunting
I wonder if this escene actually happened irl, the copilot going to check the crew status and finding all of them like that
@@zeta1960 Many times im sure
Yeah the wind is haunting to say the least
I watched this scene on LSD and it completely changed the way I viewed war even to this day.
I love the attention to detail in the B-17 throughout this. The intercom system, the bomb bay, even the navigator station that most people would probably not think to include. Also captures the horror of being a B-17 crew member - before, of course, the orb hits and the dead rise.
The detail is so well executed that it really stands out that the crew is three men short.
@@Alxnick I hadn't noticed until you said that, but now I can't unsee it. . .
Though you could excuse two simply because the nose isn't shown, so that's the navigator and bombedier accounted for, but they completely forgot the top gunner that sits in the cockpit.
Too bad they got a lot wrong with it, still
Tail gunner
Worst job
Like
Ever
@@potatoslayer69420 Forget tail gunner, ball turret gunners, were more exposed, vulnerable to the horrifying "Shräge musik" dorsal autocannons installed on German interceptors, and didn't have any parachutes. Just thinking of sitting for 8 hours in a tiny ball of glass gives me claustrophobia.
It feels like a prelude to a better story than the rest of Heavy Metal.
This segment is IMHO the best of Heavy Metal, someone should make a movie based on this.
Also Skip should have ended up with Taarna as Skip with a .50 cal alongside Taarna in her segment would have been tight
Not really. The Locnar raised the dead all across the world the pilot died. Nothing more to tell except how the Locnar was destroyed.
Mr Falcon, have you forgotten all the animated T & A? Gee whiz this was incredible in 1981.
@@henryjames8654 it took me a while to understand this comment.
who else thinks this would be a great concept for a horror movie?
It was. Dan O'Bannon wrote this story and it was one of his inspirations for writing Alien.
@Thomas Yes, but Dan O'Bannon wrote his original story for B-17, originally titled ‘Gremlins,' back in the 1970s. Remember, all of the stories in Heavy Metal are based on stories previously published in Heavy Metal magazine and other publications. They weren't written specifically for the 1981 movie.
@@44excalibur Gremlins were WW2 urban legend. There is even 40s cartoon about Russian gremlins destroying German bomber with Hitler, and Gremlin vs Bugs Bunny. Gremlin was in Twilight Zone in 1963
@@DartLuke Yes, I'm well aware of that. lol Dan O'Bannon based this story off of the old WWII legends about gremlins, although Heavy Metal made them zombies for some reason.
I like the idea of a movie being up in the air with no Escape and zombies that sound good
Favorite segment from this old gem. Poor guy parachutes from zombies only to end up on an island full of them. Music adds a nice touch.
I still remember spotting this jewel of a movie as a young adolescent boy in the 90s. I awoke at like 2 am and walked into my stepmoms room to find her asleep and this scene was playing... on HBO I think. I became immediately transfixed. Sitting in the darkness I watched till the end of the film. Became an instant favorite. Now at 38 it makes me nostalgic. A much simpler time that today almost seems like a dream. Sometimes I feel like we crossed into some parallel universe
I was 11 in 93 seeing this on Cinemax (thanks to local city TV guide and cinemax/HBO guide saying R-rated animated fantasy stories and i said cool) with other cool adult animation like Hy Good Looking, American Pop and vampire Hunter D as they became faves of mine. I even bought the VHS with CD soundtrack at 14 then blu in 2011 and gonna get the UHD 4K next month. I'll be 40.
One of my fave fantasy movies and animated movies! and i had a crush on Taarna when i was a kid and teen as she was one of my animated heartthrobes as a kid and teen like Adora/Teela in He-Man/She-Ra, Scarlett on GI Joe, Jasmine on Aladdin, Jessica Rabbit, Belle, Ariel, Hello Nurse, Minerva Mink, Esmeralda in Hunchback(i saw it in theaters at 14) Tegra in Fire and Ice, Ellinore in Wizards, Crysta in Ferngully, Cleo on Heathcliff, Catwoman/Ivy/Harley/Talia/Red Claw on Batman TAS and more. I still dig her, lol.
@@Johnlindsey289 So the nudity, sex and violence didn’t scar you ?
@@RYMAN1321
Nope, seeing that nudity and sex in an animated movie was nothing like it i ever seen before in animated movie as a kid. And i saw animated graphic violence in other adult animation before 93 such as Wizards, Aeon Flux shorts on Liquid TV, Watership Down, Plague Dogs, Mcbane on Simpsons with Itchy and Scratchy and Fire and Ice. Even seen other adult animations as a kid like Rock and Rule, Simpsons, Bebe's Kids, Family Dog episode of Amazing Stories, Liquid TV, Fantastic Planet, Lightyears aka Gandahar, Twice upon a time, Starchaser and Warriors of the Wind aka Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
I seen r-rated stuff since i was 4 starting with Stand by Me in theaters with my family and watched Creepshow on video for Halloween with my family even Fright Night and Beverly Hils Cop on HBO in late 86. And at age 5 i saw Creepshow 2, Predator (on my 5th birthday), Lethal Weapon, Robocop, Prince of Darkness, Hellraiser, Planes Trains and Automobiles, Near Dark, Lost Boys, Running Man, Beverly Hills Cop 2, Critical Condition and Born in East LA in theaters 35 years ago to 6 year old me seeing The Blob remake, Die Hard, Above the Law, Hellraiser 2, Elm Street 4 (saw the first 3 on video with my family at 5), Bloodsport, Coming to Amerca, Halloween 4 (Saw the first 3 the previous year on video with my 2 big brothers and dad), Dead Heat, Rambo 3, Phantasm 2 (saw the first the previous year with my brothers on video), and so on.
And me seeing this on cable at age 10 going on 11 is no different than 12 year old me seeing Pulp Fiction in theaters
I gotta say that I'm so jealous that I didn't lived my teenage years in the 90s
@@thepleb5652 you should be. U have nothing that is good.
This horror still holds up as a rare find ...
This was always a reoccurring nightmare for me as a kid.
Same to rember our dads showing us this I would always close my eyes
I remember how much this part scare me in these times. The technique to show the B-17 a little 3D was very special for that times.
Heavy Metal was made just about as long ago now as WWII was when Heavy Metal was made.
Longer. Heavy Metal was released in 1981, 36 years after the end of WW2 in 1945. Your comment was made 40 years after the movie’s release. It’s scary how fast time passes.
@@wtcirrus this is a 80s animation right?
@@Nombrenooriginal1981
This still makes me feel like I did when I first beat CoD:WaW while home alone at night and was scared shitless by the introduction of their “fun new mini game”.
I had the same experience! Ten years old sitting on the couch. I was lulled into a false sense of security by the ending and got up to get some juice…I came back and the intro to zombies had just started!
"C'mon, Skip! We're getting torn up! Let's get the hell outta-" that's actually what the guy at the radio station says.
What the navigator (voiced by Zal Yanovsky of The Lovin' Spoonful) said was "Come on, Shepard! Drop the f***ers and let's get the hell out of here!". If you watch the rough cut feature on the DVD, you can hear it clearly without music and sound effects.
My uncles flew in the B17s during WW2 every time I watch this scary scene from the 🎥 I always think about them.
Its just terrifying
When Kenny is high off Life
Lol
take somebody chees?
Dude, he's getting *really* high on life
Who didn't think of that episode thanks to the music?
He's getting like totally fucked up on life
To this day these are some of the most scary, disturbing and downright disgusting reanimated corpses I’ve ever seen in an animated movie!
The visceral attention to detail is awesome!
This movie was ahead of its time! Agree?
4 decades later this movie and soundtrack have yet to be equaled...
The US Army Air Force lost more guys flying on board those things than Marines lost on the ground
@Channel X lmao what the hell are you talking about?
@Channel X you are looney lol
@Channel X I am glad you are here to lead them
@John Doe We need more people like you on the Internet. Thanks man.
@John Doe Thanks for fact checking, not enough people do that nowdays, you the real mvp
Watching it right now on Starz encore channel. Takes me back to sophomore year in HS. Midnight movies back in ‘81! A couple of beers and a doob with friends before buying tickets to see the flick. Great time, great friends!
The screenplay of this episode was based on script made by Dan O'Bannp the author of Alien, Return of Living Dead and Dark Star! A Genius of American sci-fi writing.
He did Total Recall 1990, Lifeforce, The Resurrected and Dead and Buried too
This is the first graphic cartoon I ever watched, I haven't seen it since the 80's. Thank you for posting, a creepy classic.
Holy shit I found it. I remember my dad and older brothers watching this together when I was really young. My dad said I was too young but I unlocked something!
The soundtrack rocks!
Love this manly, gritty animation style. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore in this pussified world.
This sketch is brutal. I love it!
I was 10 in 81 when this came out. Saw it at the movies, it was awesome.
I was introduced to both films when I was seven, twenty-five now and I still love this. I wish B-17 was expanded on into a full length movie or at the very least a 30-45 minute film animated like this of course. Both of the Heavy Metal movies(yes I like Heavy Metal 2000) have such amazing shit going for them. The great concepts featured in the 1981 Anthology film all deserve their own dedicated films, expanding on what we got. Heavy Metal 2000, despite the cgi being utterly crap had a decent story that was just rushed in my opinion. I think we'd all benefit if Heavy Metal films had a revival, Robert Rodriguez as far as I know still has the film rights to Heavy Metal and wants to revive it, however who knows these days. Maybe if more people saw these films and the other adult animated films from before, more inspired people will come out.
I also would like more of a good thing but sometimes short and sweet is more of an impression and like the magazines intended to free up the imagination
@@HighFalutinTootin Yeah I can agree with that. I just want more. xD
@@lupusumbra8676 lol more is never enough tho...and sometimes more can be too much
@@HighFalutinTootin Damnit that is true. x'D
Check out Love, Death and Robots on Netflix. It's David Finchers attempt at bringing back Heavy Metal. There's some great adult animated segments in there. Sonnie's Edge and Beyond the Aquila Rift are my favorites.
It seems nobody can compare. Where has our imagination gone too!! Can't anyone take a ride, ride,, ride,ride, on heavy metal!!?? ANYMORE!?
If you are wondering planes back then did have Autopilots but they were rudimentary and basically only kept the plane stable and as it were left.
thank u, i actually was
It seems like there was so much more detail and care put into animation during the 80s and 90s. It saddens me that new animators choose the easy route. Instead of putting their heart into it they just want to get it finished.
Have you seen spine of Night?
An out of the frying pan and into the fire kind of situation.
Just the wind whistling through the bullet holes is creepy enough...then the zombie shit happens....
I remember being 11 and watching this with my dad. He would stop the tape around this part
I remember seeing this when I was like 8
I think my mom showed me this movie when I was like 12.
This short would have made a great full length movie. Love Heavy Metal.
_"Even in death, my powers continue..."_
Absolutely brilliant animation for its day...I remember liking this scene the most when I saw it in a theatre in 81.
Those Japanese flak guns in the middle of the Pacific Ocean were deadly
The best animated sequence ever!
PSA:
Always save the last bullet. There are fates worse than death.
Hey man, anybody can be a Monday Morning Quarterback.
How can this only be six minutes and 41 seconds?
THIS MOVIE IS FUCKING BEAUTFUL!
So along time ago my mom and dad got a vhs copy of Heavy Metal, I was inthralled by the box cause so many questions so many ideas filled my head. My parents just said I'm not allowed to watch so I just held that box until we got home. Some years passed and I was around that age where I could watch rated R movies, sadly we didnt get a vhs tape but dad showed me this clip saying this was his favorite scene. Now this scene means so much to me since he's gone.
I'm sorry for your loss 😔
Thanks for this. Knew I had seen this from telly or somewhere ages ago, and had tried to search for it couple of times in the last few years. Well, today I persevered through 15 search terms and lots of bad leads :D
That slow fade in from the last story with the narration 🥶
I remember when this movie came out; this scene always freaked me out. Great movie and soundtrack!
Scary story with an EC horror vibe! One of my favorite animated movies and fantasy movies since I was 11 seeing this on Cinemax in late 93
One of the most genuine zombie scenes ever
Most badass scene in a movie ever
The Terminator in Tech-Noir and shortly after we realize he is a cyborg has my vote. This may be 2nd.
One of my favorite parts of this movie!
I absolutely love this movie now or when in came out in early 80's!
This part scared the living crap out of me when I saw this as a kid.
I love this movie. First saw it when I was 13...long time ago...
Some of the best animation and storyline I’ve seen…Heavy Metal always pushed the limits of reality and blended fantasy and horror perfectly….such detail too. i was a subscriber from their first issue and still have every copy plus the movie poster with Den … yeah, im a Fan!
I like how the pilot just leaves the tail gunner behind
He probably assumed the zombies got to him already
Scariest scene but coolest animation scheme.
Once,a wise man in a small town in Colorado said: “FOR VALHALLA!”
The animation is great in this movie classic hand drawn look very nice gritty feel and appearance to it I love this style of animation
I think this is my favorite segment!
Saw this movie when I was a kid (Thanks, HBO!) This scene messed me up. Not recommended for 10 year olds!
Bro this is a 10/10 video
This scared the hell out of me when I first saw it in 1981! I was only 8 years old
So many people have forgotten that green is evil and evil is green
What about red and black, then?
@@AidanMclaren "black is evil"
Yer canceled >:-|
Ignoring the context of the movie itself...
Getting off the co pilot seat to check on everyone else, then finding out that from a crew of 10 only 2 are left: you and the captain.
All you see are the bodies, moving whenever the plane makes a turn and the only sounds being the humming of the engines, the screeching of the damaged airframe and the whistling of the wind while it goes through the bullet holes.
It's a nightmarish scenario, I don't even think it can even be beaten by losing your friends on the ground, since you can at least run away from the scene.
However, when you're in a plane, the corpses are just there, what was a plane with friendly banter, then warning signs, then gunshots and then silence... It's just awful.
ever kids of 80's still love B 17 of heavy metal movie, greath anime and Soundtrack !!! i had the musicassettes , old vintage stuff
This Movie is Awesome
Best animated rock movie EVER!!!
The Waist Gunners and the Radio Operator killed by enemy fire - "The Danse Macabre.."" - "Dance of Death.."
Anyone know why the sound effects - the jump scare sound when captain opened the door and the growling of zombies as they were beating down the door were cut on the newer release? It's was my vhs 📼 Cinemax version which I'm now kickin myself in the arse for throwing it away
My dad used to show me this and this sene scared the crap out of me every time
This is such a cool scene
I like that little touch of adding Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Electra in the plane graveyard.
Interesting how Dan O'Bannon when from this to Return of the Living Dead
Didn’t he also do Alien and Lifeforce?
@@victorm152 Yes
That would explain why the theater played them both as a double feature when I was a kid. I never knew why. Scared the crap out of me tho. :)
@@victorm152 Don't forget "Dark Star".
Unkillable turbo zombies
Drive on up and just cruise a while leave your troubles far behind...
The attention to detail is astounding.
I don't remember this episode of Tailspin.
I keep returning to this segment every couple months. Haven't seen the whole Heavy Metal since 2017, but this part i rewatch multiple times a year.
I think its time Heavy Metal should produce the next instalment of a Film. :)
I think they've got a show out
Not gonna lie, the bit from South Park brought me back to the awesomeness of this flick
You grew up with this movie?
Lovecraftian as fuck :D Perfect material for a horror movie.
The whole movie is Lovecraftian with the Loc Nar and a Color out of Space meets Robert E Howard feel
@@Johnlindsey289 thats what I had in mind writing it. Heavy Metal would be perfect mobie for Tarantino to direct
The voices of the zombies were scarier on the old 1991 HBO premiere of this film (I had it recorded on a VHS).
Everyone's favorite scene. Damn shame they didn't include Neverwhere Land before it.
How call of duty zombies got its inspiration.
2:15 "When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose"
I like how they mixed 2 genre's
I guess we can call that a zombie 17 🥁
Skip is so cool he looks likes my grandpa who fought in WWII as an RCAF bomber pilot.
In the First Officer’s sitrep, he doesn’t tell the Captain everyone is fcking dead, but can’t wait to tell him about the green meteor.
I knew kookaburras flew all over the world I just knew it
When this was made there was less time between it and ww2 than there is time between it and modern day.
When my Pappaw, plane engineer was on a mission in the Pacific. This story makes me think of him.
It’s the zombie triangle....
Probably the scariest story of the movie. Fun fact it was written by Dan O Bannon who wrote Alien and later would go on to do Return of the Living Dead.
"Relax charlie, I've got an angle..."
Notice Officers were required to wear ties in combat... Captain wears an Ascot... completely different era and time...
Time to do battle at the breastuary in Nipopolis...
