  • Sky Commanders (1987) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #SkyCommanders
    Deep in the South Pacific, a tumultuous and untamed new continent has erupted, spawned by a highly unstable new element, known as Phaeta-7. If this powerful new element could be controlled, whoever possessed it would be the undisputed ruler of the world! One man, General Lucas Plague, is determined to hold that title. And it's up to a rugged team of mountaineering experts, led by Commander Mike Summit, to stop him. Employing revolutionary new gravity-lock and laser-cable technology to traverse the ever-changing terrain of the High Frontier, Mike Summit's Sky Commanders, and General Plague's Raiders, are locked in mortal combat, with the fate of the entire world hanging in the balance! That narration heralded the arrival of a Sci-Fi show that truly boasted sky high action, depicting the battles of a group of hi-tech climbers against a terror militia for control of the planet in this complete 2-Disc, 13-Episode Collection.
    Directed By Ray Patterson
    Starring Charlie Adler, Richard Doyle, Paul Eiding

      Tends to happen with supervillains. Batman's first two arch-enemies were Dr. Death and Hugo Strange, the Centurions fought Doc Terror, the Captain Planet villains, etc. Even in other countries: the villain of 1972's Mazinger Z was named Dr. Hell, whose minions included Baron Ashura, whose body was half man/half woman, and Count Brocken, a cyborg whose head wasn't attached to his body.

    👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Sky commanders wow this bring me back plus I feel so old now laughing out loud. Oh boy I had every single Sky Commander action figure when I was a young kid/teenager. I was just thinking maybe they can do it and maybe they can't or maybe it would be a good idea or maybe a bad idea. But what I was thinking of in a way how cool would it be for them to do an actual live action movie of Sky Commanders. Bringing it to life and putting it at the movie theaters. In a way I also think if they had the right people that to play the characters and the right script. Then just maybe Sky commanders can be a cool and Fantastic live action movie. I suggest Maybe it all depends. I mean look what they did to the Transformers brought that to Life as a live-action movie and then they did GI Joe brought that to life and made that in to alive action movie as well. Also can I forget about He-Man they did that one and turn into live action movie. So why not Sky Commanders.

    I love the matte paintings of the backgrounds! Never loved making them myself, but they're pretty to see.
    The atmosphere and feel of this intro feels a lot like a Ralph Bakshi Fire and Ice (1983). While the matte paintings of the environments don't compare to Frank Frazetta's , they do come close and inspire that look.
    Sounds great! Like Stan Bush composed this score.

    So I went out to walk the dog and came home and youtube autoplay had been on and somehow ended up halfway through an episode of something called 'Beauty and the Beast' with Linda Hamilton and I think maybe Ron Perlman was in there as the ...beast or lion man or whatever the fuck that thing was. And there was a scene with Linda and she was talking to some black dude and he had a collection of ninja paraphernalia stuck to his wall. And damn did that black dude ever look familiar, so I was trying to remember who he was...then POW I remembered he was eightball in full metal jacket. So I went on IMDB and looked him up and his name is Dorian Harewood. I was looking through his credits and saw one from 1987 that said 'sky commanders' and for some reason that name stuck out to me (no idea why) so I clicked on it and there was very little info cept a basic plot summary and it was listed as animated....I said to myself 'damn, I bet that is some total dogshit, cliche 1980s Saturday morning cartoon that got dropped after the first season'. So I came to youtube to see if there was an opening credits or a clip from this forgotten show and guess what I found? Aids.

      I don't think Sky Commanders sucked but it wasn't the most memorable show. I think it tried too hard to be a Centurions/M.A.S.K. hybrid and didn't bother coming up with better characters and stories. To me, the best thing about it was that Toei did the animation for the show and I did like the theme.

      Megared82 The other thing was that this show came along later in the game, after there were already so many action cartoon shows out there. So again it was hard for them to look and feel original, and that made it seem rather generic to me.

      Well, at least the animation is good.

      Would've rocked had Toei overseen the writing of the show. The intro shows mortal combat but when you bring Hanna Barbera in to do the series, you get a non sequitur.
