We've been pretty good at animating for almost a century by now. The 80's beneficiated from a time of great economic growth and this makes it easier to create such pieces of Art.
The B-17 segment of Heavy Metal is based on a short story by Dan O'Bannon called Gremlins, about a B-17 bomber in World War II being invaded by gremlins. O'Bannon used elements of Gremlins and his script for John Carpenter's Dark Star to write his original script for Alien.
That's funny because, this segment inspired a really excellent book following a similar premise as this skit. Then that book would later partially inspire another author in their works, an author who would later go on to write both starwars: death troopers novels.
fun fact: the "Gremlins" or gnomes(depends) are from real life reports of plane pilots/crew seeing lights and small creatures on their planes during flights.
I'll admit it... this part of the movie actually gave me nightmares when I was younger. The intense fear of being stuck in such a small space with something that horrible... then thinking you escaped only to find you really didn't.
@@adriananic8258 The pilot lands on a deserted island, starts to take in his surroundings, then you see undead airmen rising and advancing on him from all sides, then the scene fades to black. Most likely he dies horribly, but you don't really know.
Used to stay up late some nights and watch this with my dad, I was terrified of this part, but I’d give anything to go back and re live those moments, Rest In Peace Dad.
Man can anyone imagine the reactions of the ground crews for the home base where this plane was stationed if the plane managed to make it back and everyone from the mechanics to the base commander watched as the undead crew came out now that would be scary.
there could have been some victims due to surprise , but there would be no way they would resist to Garand or BAR big-caliber rifle bullets, multiple 45 rounds from Thompson or projectiles from Winchester shotguns fired from guards
That's a great start to a Scooby-Doo episode, Scooby-Doo and the gang hear a story of a plane crash and find the pilot who tells them what happened and where to find the plane.
Or somehow the pilot survived, and as a (very) old man he speaks about his story in a retirement house, and one of the janitors think of search for this island and a treasure hidden in one of these planes/ships...🤔
Heavy Metal is a staple of my childhood. Granted, it was already 10 years old by the time I was born. This scene in particular (and the remainder that wasn't shown) interested me the most and was likely what started my obsession with the zombie subculture.
I saw the special features on the d.v.d. for this movie and the B-17 was a practical model and I think it was the same for the house because at the end of the movie when the LocNarr and the house exploded it looked like a real house too.
Fun fact, the exploding house is the only practical shot left in the movie. They ran outta time to rotoscope the reference shot used, so they just used it wholesale.
Remember kids, never bully your colleagues or someday anomaly will fly into your working place and turn everybody around you into vengeance seeking zombie rather than the work on their duty like a responsible worker zombie.
you cut out the ending lol it was the most scariest thing, the green orb representing evils of the world/universe/dimensions etc corrupted all the dead bodies and when the pilot lands lands in a land of living corpses, kids these these days will forget that zombies originally a super natural thing i.e "dead rising from the grave" not the resident evil "humans got infected by a virus"
Well yes, while the original idea of the zombie had to do with the supernatural (Haitian voodoo), but ever since the 60s, mainstream zombie movies have been about viruses or radiation. So it’s not really “kids these days” unless you are 100 years old.
too bad it will never get a sequel. i would really like to see what will happen to the pilot on that island , how he would fight the zombies and then get rescued. that dude would have then got serious PTSD however... or else i like to think he would become a badass
The first time I saw this movie and I saw this scene it scared the crap out of me I mean a Zombie outbreak during WW2 man that was scary to think about and I'm even surprised no one thought of doing a Zombie film set during WW2 I mean they should since they did one before that was set in the 1700's called Pride and Prejudice and Zombies heck they even did one where Abraham Lincoln fought Zombies.
@@cpte3729 Der Untoten I believe, right after the campaign you jump right into that zombie level, on the opening there's what's left of a crashed B-17 as a zombie runs at you.
Okay, if anybody today depicts zombies strong enough to break down a metal door, I'm giving them the finger. Bones and rotten flesh aren't tougher that solid metal.
Yeah, because undead monsters brought back to life by dark magic, is okay, but their being possessed with inhuman strength steps beyond the realms of verisimilitude.
@@B.B.Digital_Forest 2 things, first bullets are traveling at several hundred feet per second, yes even the .45 acp travels at 750fps Second that door would have been made of light weight aluminum and interesting historical fact B17 bombers did not have a door separating the cockpit from the aft of the aircraft
Hellyeah! The rotting and completely disfigured zombie aesthetics of the 80’s were/are the best for making terrifying zombies unlike the aesthetics that are used for today’s zombies.
I CANNOT BELEIVE IT, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! I saw this once when I was young and it scared the daylights out of me. When i grew up, I wanted to find the name of the movie/ show but couldn't find anything about it. Here it is, just randomly scrolling through UA-cam. What are the odds?
One thing I had always been curious about in this scene was when the pilot flipped the switch for the automatic pilot and that is what I was curious about did WW2 planes have automatic pilot systems during the war or were they invented later I sure would like to know.
My favorite segment of Heavy Metal, but shame on you leaving out the end! Beautiful rotoscoping animation here. Funny it also just occurred to me that the Locnar = the One Ring. A couple different powers and more overt sentience, but the concept is essentially identical. Also the same basic overarching narrative of people going to great lengths to acquire it and turn it to their own use, only to end up corrupted or killed -- and it just moves on to a new master/victim. Can't believe I didn't make the connection all these years...

@@fahadfarrukh1355 Heavy Metal
Lots of airline flights seem like this now, with the behaviour of some people 😆
Imagine this was a story of call of duty to be honest that would be interesting. 🤔
The pilot deserves an intellect award, it's not every day you see someone using common sense in a horror film and simply nopeing the heck out of there
what else he would do? he was trapped into the cockpit, and needs his Colt ammo to survive
Yeah you should watch the rest of the clip...
@@PugilistCactus 🤣🤣
@@PugilistCactus RIP
It’s not a horror film. It’s a collection of short stories.
And sadly once he parachutes out he parachutes into an island full of them.
i still can't believe this is from the 80's .... the artists and animators were so talented
Smh you act like people were inferior back then or something
There’s animation from the 1940’s that’ll blow your mind.
The artist Jean Giraud who did this movie actually inspired blade runner and bunch of cyber punk movies with his art
We've been pretty good at animating for almost a century by now.

Heard A.G.Van Vogt s Journey of the Space Beagle and the Space 1999 episode Dragon's Domain also influenced them as well.

Interesting
Interesting. But I always thought they based it on WWII pilots and their reported sightings of foo fighters following their planes

Same, I found it terrifying even to this day just thinking about being stranded up in the sky with almost no connection to the ground
I would’ve loved to know what his fate was. We assume he was killed soon after he landed but truth is, we don’t know what happened
The pilot didn't make it? Despite jumping?
@@adriananic8258 The pilot lands on a deserted island, starts to take in his surroundings, then you see undead airmen rising and advancing on him from all sides, then the scene fades to black. Most likely he dies horribly, but you don't really know.
Wait the zombies survived the plane crash to make it to the island or there where already zombies there?

Dude. Me too. I watched this with my dad all the time and would give anything to relive one of those nights. He passed like 15 years ago.
Your dads are cool, mine would’ve never let me see this, too many tities😂
It's been about 20 years since heavy metal 2000. We need another one
Isn’t Love, death or robots the spiritual successor to heavy metal
with one direct sequel about the B17 pilot, hopefully
No we don't. 90% of the core audience died ages ago.
No

This story is scary and has an ec comics vibe and aesthetic to it
it seems it's because it's based about the style of a sci-fic comics magazine
The magazine also offered fantasy and horror stories
That's a great start to a Scooby-Doo episode, Scooby-Doo and the gang hear a story of a plane crash and find the pilot who tells them what happened and where to find the plane.

YES! Very raw and gritty.
I really hated this one. The guy finally makes it to safety but it's to an island filled with more of the zombie pilots. Just a sad, hopeless ending.

This film is way ahead of its time.
That's exactly what I thought when I saw it in 1981. I was 19. Great age to watch it.

such a zoomer thing to say, pretty sure they had zombies and the war way before call of duty existed

This part of the movie dtuck to me as a child to this day. The part where the copilote is killed in particular is haunting.
**Zombies swarm the plane**
Pilot: "Nope!" **Bails**
The most unrealistic part is fitting two men in a ball turret.
Wow the animation style is out of the world 😲👏
Dude really said: you want the plane
"Fukken take it then"
This animation and sound design is amazing!
That green light... is that damn Foo Fighters that pilots used to talk about during WWII flights?

I wish BattleTech would get a movie with this art style.
I like how this was the idea that started up love death robots 👌🏻
One of my favorite movies. Still have it on VHS and DVD
1:11 after she give you the ultra supreme glop glop
Love this movie ♥️♥️♥️🍒
Honestly, thought this was a song that got recomended to me, the thumbnail looks like cover art for a music CD too
Looks like a banger opening to a CoD Zombies Mode.
This caught my attention
Still got my VHS of this. The first movie my girl and I watched together.
I bet she jumped into your Arms after B-1 Bomber) Zombies story 😂
The amount of time and brain cells I spent looking for this specific scene hahaha
And thus, that's how Nacht Der Untoten happened.
Damn this is so well made!

I’ve seen Heavy Metal a few times but really need to watch it again remastered like this. Much nicer
This segment took me off guard when I was watching :(( poor fella
Poor co-pilot.
That looked scary actually. The zombies definetly sounded very scary. Where can I stream this?
This is pretty spooky
😊😊😊😊😊great movie
Undead one of my favorite creatures XD
Ух ты представляю такое в детстве посмотреть. Страшно было бы .
i watched this film a few years ago. Such a weird mixture of styles and oddly places plot points.
I'm getting some 68 Vietnam jungle jim comic vibes here
Qual é o nome dessa animação?
One day your talking about the old heavy metal movies, and the next thing you know, Google or UA-cam is right there with it in your face
This part still gives me the creeps all these years later
Is there a part two this is intriguing
Great movie!!!👍
Had intense nightmares from this segment.
dem looks cool
this is so cool it looks like scooby do
Great movie
Why does this feel like it would be a great intro for a horror game
1:44 minecraft chest
I remember seeing this as a small child
Zombies wouldn't work since their muscles have broken down and are dead, so they wouldn't be able to move. But for entertainment purposes, they work.
What is this? Looks very nice and epic.
Serious Nacht Der Untoten plane crash intro scene vibes from WaW
The full movie is called( heavy metal)🤘😎🤘
Wow man!
From the thumbnail, I thought Chad Livesy turned into a zombie.
Esse bixo foi ligeiro em pular de paraquedas, pensei que fosse só aceitar a morte igual muitos personagens em filmes de zumbi

Yes, some planes used during WW2 had a form of autopilot.

is this a flying plane or ship coz there are huge holes on the fuselage but no wind at all.
I saw this back when I was 11. I thought the zombies made a different sound scream when they were on the airplane. Is this true?
its a great movie, even better when you are high and listening to blue oyster cult
What a sick mind did this
And of course once he escaped the aircraft he landed safely and everything worked out ok for for him, right guys?
guys?
This seems like it would be part of a cool zombies map.
This scene is basically what happens when there are no *In-Flight Snacks*
that was surprising.. the pilot got away. lol
Still curious for the next
