Silverhawks: Everything You Didn't Know | SYFY WIRE
/ syfywire - Розваги
One of the most unappreciated cartoons made, I loved it when I was a kid.
I couldn't agree more!!
At least we remember it And that’s what’s most important things that made our childhood different
@@SUNSHINE-me8gz couldn't agree more.
Facts
its all out on dvd too
Blessed are those, who got a chance to grow up in (and experience) the 80s and watch such divine cartoons every Saturday morning...
And 90s lol
Interesting here in Philly Thundercats and Silverhawks were afterschool cartoons
When I was a kid silverhawks was everything.. I still got the toys.. And I'm 36yrs old now.
Me too bro. She didn't grow up in the 80s. This show was great
So you were 2 when you started watching it? For one year. And when did they even do reruns of this show? No Netflix or Prime Video in the 90s.
@@mrXOwarrior You are thinking of the USA only. The SilverHawks were a successes in many countries (like mine) in the 1990s.
Do you have the complete series on dvd? Its been out for a long time
Land: Thundercats
Space: Silverhawks
Sea: Tiger Sharks
Good childhood memories.
Feel sorry for the millinials!!
You mean street sharks
@@fuckmeright Talking about the 90's you remember Bot masters? I'm 80's child but I do remember the 70's, 80's and 90's cartoons. now Cartoons are badly designed with crappy stuff. it's just shit
What about Centurion, Mask, Brave Star, Visionaries, Bionic Six, Cops, saber rider, Jayce, and the wheeled warriors, Dnd. There more I'm just lazy to mention. I just mention my favorite once.
As a kid, I always was waiting for a Crystar cartoon even though I had the toys and comics.
Hotel: Trivago
I loved BOTH Silverhawks and Thundercats!
What about the tiger sharks?
@@professortruth3936 Yes!
@Daniel Appleton I know!
@@professortruth3936 loved that one too
Don't forget tigersharks
I never forgot SilverHawk
ArtGod me neither!
Loved that theme song!
?
PapaGeorg10 m and
I actually had the silver hawk I loved that thing.
You will.
She’s not old enough to know the Silver Hawks
Re runs. Also she might just be looking young.
@@intergalacticchicano Or just reading the q-card.
Terrible review. Should know the show before she runs her mouth.
@@BarjutsuTAAOB oh shut up
What does that matter? Like she said, the show can still be watched on some platforms
Three best cartoons ever: Silver Hawks, M.A.S.K. and Thundercats.
Mask toys was awesome i remeber helicopter streetbike
I remeber.
Transformers was better than SH and M.A.S.K tho
Absolutely right.
el festival de los robots.
I remember really liking this show when I was a kid
Same here. The 80s were great times😁
Me too alot of great shows back then. :)
Dude, I grew up watching the Spanish Dub of this...
I really liked the show as well. This segment is kind of insulting.
Thank you for this review. It was really good.
One of the most underrated cartoons of all time
Yeah it was great. Mostly forgotten.
Tremaine Triplett I used to love this shit as a kid.
FACTS!
The Snorks and Silverhawks...good concepts, most original designs, but the shows were mediocre. There's probably 1-2 good episodes for every 10 or so.
cant lie i felt like i was cheeating on Thundercats watching this i never made it through an episode just loved the song
Found my silverhawks toys at my grandparents house about 10 years ago. Still awesome. Squeeze the legs together and POP! Wings deployed.
SILVEEERHAAAAAAWKS!
ricky110882 yup lol
Lamo, when I was a kid. The neighbor kid had a silver hawk toy. I got to play with it for the first time. I thought I had broken it when i squeezed the legs togeather. When he told me that was it's intended function. I felt disappointed of the uselessness of it. Then was mad from enjoyment betrayal.
@I am no one neither R you no. I did not steal it. I only tryed to steal once and got cought and beat bad. Nvr agean even though the one who beat me passed on.
Hell yeah tell you we old😂😂
damn dude I'm jellous
I had a Copper Kid action figure when I was 5 and I remember loving that thing more than life itself 😅
Richard Ramsawh In my 30's
This lady mad me feel silly because Copper Kid was always my favorite SH. I lost my first one in 3rd grade and begged my folks to get me another... which I believe was lost by my brother.
I was like that with my Snake Eyes.
I still have Bluegrass and Buzzsaw. Monstar disappeared a few years ago.
What about Bravestar....does anybody remember that cartoon show?
Strength of the Bear!
Jeffrey Robison i loved it. Speed of a cheetah. Eye of a hawk
The first and only one to feature a native American indian in the lead role.
I only saw it a few times
The horse 3030.
There were two other Silverhawks characters you failed to mention: the self-powered Moonstryker, & former member-turned private detective, Condor
David Rogers HOLD THIS W MY FRIEND. You are a legend!
I certainly remember every Silverhawk, ever Moonstryker and Condor! Let's not forget the evil Silverhawk, Darkbird!
Was about to say same thing. And no mention of each their birds.
Dont forget supporting crew. Zeke the beek
Stargazer rival . The strong big guy that shot beams from between his Mr.Spock ears.
I remember moonstryker..
"Everything you didn't know:" *Regurgitates plot synopsis."
Really?
Maybe is for the children of those that saw the show
The Silverhawks theme song is my rigntone in 2019 🤯
🤣🤣
I have the metal version and my 3 year old loves it
A the black character's name is Hotwing?!?!
Lol I ain't even mad lmao
I know, right?
Lol I never put that together till just now
Got it " hot wings " .... Cause he's black and black people like fried chicken wings 😂
🤔 hot wings = black 🧐
I was bout 3 make a similar comment/response on that hot wing / blk guy matter.....😂🤣
The reason why I love Silverhawks is because of the design
I'd Eat DA Butt! 😂
These days, when a show is relatively popular, you can release entire seasons on DVD. In the days of VHS, that wasn't economically feasible (bulky cartridges could only hold a couple hours and the raw material was pretty expensive), so shows would often sell tapes that only had one or two episodes. So my parents bought me a tape with a single episode of Silverhawks and I probably watched it a dozen times. It involved the Mob stealing a "disintegrator ray" that could destroy anything but gold, so they built a gold... I guess I'd call it a space jet ski, and Commander Stargazer flew it since he was made of gold and thus immune, while the others were made of silver. Then he flew it into space and fought the Mob until the disintegrator backfired and blew up their own ship. Also there was comic relief from a cabbie who was maybe a New York stereotype and kept saying "y'know what I mean?" And the ending clip was a quiz about meteors.
Even at the time I could tell this was basically Thundercats in space (though I didn't know it was the same company), especially from Mon*Star's transformation sequence. Still, I liked it well enough, and I probably would have watched more but I don't think it aired in my location. Or maybe the show had already gone off the air by the time they were selling tapes.
"Ready as a rooster in a hen house"
How many people you think that would trigger.
Loved silver hawks. I’ve even given my 3 year old son my old quicksilver action figure. He has already pulled the arms off.
😂😂😂💪💪👍
that's worth money.. even with out the arms..
I had so many different action figures in the 80's and made the mistake of giving them away when I was older and wasn't as interested in them. I'm kicking myself now
Still have all the toys
The 80s were filled with many team based cartoons like the Thundercats & Silverhawks, that usually had interesting blended concepts (birds/cyborgs, cats/humans) It was the norm back then. They might have been funded for the purpose of making a profit selling toys but that didn't take away from how inventive they were for the time. I'm glad whatever corporate cynicism that went into their making never resonated in the minds of kids watching them then. It was just a great time to be a kid.
Amen brotha!!
Don't forget the Tiger sharks.
The Centurions for me. They can actually make them live action now if they wanted to.
Bionic Bionic Six!!
Like Mask and gobots
The opening with Tally hawk brings a tear to my eye. The theme music and bird calling was one of the best introduction to a show.
Silver Hawks and Thundercats had 2 of the best theme songs, along with Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors...
C'mon! This series was EASILY as cool as Thundercats.
I loved it!
@@chrishargrove9558 Me too!
Although Thundercats were around longer and got more exposure, I liked the Silverhawks cartoon and toys more.
I also loved MASK!
Whoa. Easy there.
@@bennyshambles Let's not forget the Centurions as well.
This show was sooo underrated. I remember the show fondly and loved the space factoids after each episode. Too bad this show never got the chance to fly. (Bad pun...I know)
as an 80's kid, those toys were amazing
Silverhawks was one of the dopest shows ever. Definitely had a top 5 theme song. This show was underappreciated. Favorite part was finding hidden things within the show or the end when they had a quiz. And this woman is super fine!! She look way too young to have seen this show. Imma bout to subscribe just to see her again.
She obviously didn't grow up in the 80's.
But is a fan of Uncanny X-Men's Storm from the 80's with that haircut.
and, what does that matter? she's awesome and did her research!
She looks young, but is in her early 40s.
She did, she's not young
@@Hellmark Early 40's is still young!
This was actually second in the Rankin/Bass action series trilogy. With the third being the even lesser known TigerSharks.
I remember those too. MAKO was one of them.
I loved Tigersharks! And they had a cameo in the 200x Thundercats show too!
Jason Scarce true
Capitan Bizarrely!!!
I definitely remember Silverhawks and even as a kid I knew it was basically fake Thundercats. But that theme song was dope!!
Loved Silverhawks and Thundercats alike, this was such an underrated cartoon. They really don't make them the same anymore.
I want to see a cross over with thundercats silverhawks and tigersharks cartoon
Almost happened but damned Cartoon Network cancelled the thundercats
That would cool as hell!
Damn
Nice someone else actually remembers the Tigersharks
Hell yeah Tigersharks! Watched it right after Karate Kat
You have to be kidding me... HOT WING... WTF?! LOL
i know! i was too young to make the connection but now as an adult, i see how terribly wrong that name was.
Yep my 1st thought on hearing his name. WTF...
What's wrong with it
Fake outrage detected
Richard Ramsawh I think OP was saying how ridiculous it is. Not outrage.
Crazy that Silverhawks, Thundercats, and Tigersharks takes place in the same universe. I would love to see a series connect all three.
I'm Old now but when I was young this cartoon was AWESOME to me.
Bionic Six, please.
Yes Sir!!!
Cool show. Crappy opening music. Good call though sir.
That was a great cartoon! It still is
@@AhtoNajeebRashied it wasn't all that bad. Tried to make it wholesome 😁
My ish
I remember Silverhawks. Was one of my favorite shows back in the day.
WHATS MY FAVORITE SILVER HAWKS MEMORY? Mine was having to go to Shawn's, my friend's house to watch it because my mother wouldn't let me watch it. Because of a guy on TV named Phil Phillips who was determined to find something terrible about virtually all major kids show and toys.
Lol, my parents never caught on to why I went to hang out at Shawn's every weekday afternoon.
Oh, and Shawn, if you're reading this, THANKS 👍 BUDDY!
Well, now we know where Teal'c from Stargate SG-1 got his likeness from. Hot Wing.
A live (or fully CGI) MOVIE of Thundercats is needed ASAP
It almost happened nearly a decade ago, but it was shelved when Cartoon Network announced their Thundercats revival series. Also the CGI technology was not as advanced back then as it is today.
With Avatar like effects itd be really fun!
I agree with the babies of the 80s we need to see a silverhawks and Thundercats live movie
A photo realistic animated film like Final Fantasy Spirits Within would be a great movie right now.
The newer Thundercats series that came out a few years ago was a huge disappointment. I really wish they would just make it stay with the older style but maybe more fine tuned with computer animation.
I loved Silver Hawks as a kid! I had several of the action figures, including all the Silver Hawks, except Stargazer, and the two bad guys I liked the most, Mon Star and Mumbo Jumbo. I also had the Mirage to fly them around in!
I do wish the series would get another chance. I’ll have to check it out on Amazon. I’ve been showing my daughter a lot of the cartoons I watched as a kid and she gets hooked on them, as I did, so we get to enjoy them together :D
It was one of my favorite shows growing up as a kid in the 90s among Thundercats, Bionic Six, saber rider and the star sherif and Captain Planet.
I enjoyed the astronomy lesson at the end of each episode. At the time, I didn't realize they were required to do so; I just thought it was a cool thing to do.
One of my favorites as a kid along with the Mighty Orbots.
Dont forgot Visionaries, that was the bomb
The Centurions
Yes thank you, I’ve been trying to remember the name of this cartoon. Also was awesome
I loved visionaries
Any toy that involves holograms has my vote!
@@aaronj3924 Gargoyles were the best.
I wonder if anyone remember the Silver Hawks Pajamas with the wings attached to your arms: CLASSIC!
I loved Silverhawks as a kid. Bluegrass was my favorite character and can remember have a Bluegrass action figure as a kid.
anyone else like the galaxy rangers?
Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers was my favorite cartoon by far back in those days. I find very few remember it, and fewer still appreciated how good it was.
It was great and one of the few I liked all the characters
Was the joint. Just started watching it again
Own it
Goose man. Yes! The opening and closing themes rocked
I used to love this show. I would like to see a remake that is edger and more modern
Cartoon network could butcher this show real good.
I love a live action movie.
@@jonathansimmons6452 So would I ♥️ a silver Hawks live action movie
@@covertyankee It could end up on Toonami. Or they could just bring back the series and put it on Boomerang. That is, of course, if the exec's remember that Boomerang was meant for classic shows and not what ever has played in the last 5 years.
Edgier sounds good. Since Mon*Star's gang was considered a "mob", it could have more of a Cowboy Bebop look and a film-noir feel to it and still have lots of action.
I love the silver hawks when I was I kid in the 80s
I have that box set. Was one of my all time favorites as a kid. This is so awesome!! Always watched silver hawks, thunder cats, brave Star, visionaries voltron
"Mind over matter, lady." I would sit through the Thundercats to get to the Silverhawks. Apparently, I was like fvck society from an early age.
I liked the Silverhawks better than the Thundercats.
I think it was because the Siverhawks were just cyborgs, which as a kid I could understand, but the Thundercats were weird human/cat hybrids which creeped me out. I'm a cat person, but I don't wanna see cat people.
That guitar solo is a serious face melter. \m/
80s metal guitar was epic, especially in a cartoon.
Awesome retrospective, thanks!!!
My brother owned so many of these toys and was such a huge Silverhawks fan honestly I think this show deserves way more credit than it gets and I still to this day love it and so does my younger brother
How many of you went listen to the theme song after watching this?
Me haha
I’m trying to remember it but I keep confusing it with the Thundercats song.
Nobody can master that riff during the bridge.
Damn right
The toys were awesome. I was a Silver Hawks fan.
loved and Still love this show. Would love to see a remake
In Israel we remember these two very vividly. They were bought by the cables company in 1991 and aired at the children's channel as to 20 dollars a month together with the rest of the cables package.
During the war school was off so my mom got me this channel to keep me occupied and not experience the anxiety in the boomshelters.
Thanks to my mom,those shows are at least one of strongest memories from being 6 years old under Russian Sckad missiles from Iraq
The Tigersharks! The third and even more forgotten brother of Thundercats!
I LOVED THIS SHOW!!! I still wish I got their spaceship, "The Miraj" when I was a kid though.
I loved this show as a kid. Thanks for the video.
I was around back then i REMEMBER the show.
Loved the video & TV series.....BTW, left out any mention of TIGER SHARKS, which were also feat. briefly in a cameo in THUNDERCATS 2011 Revival Series
i want to see a live action Bravestarr movie with the Rock.
I'm glad to see this show getting some love. It felt like I was the only person on earth that had ever heard of this show when I was a kid. I was fully into it too. I had all the figures and vehicles. I even had a set of Quicksilver pajamas that was a costume of his character, complete with wings that were attached under the arms so that when you held your arms out to the side, you looked like a real Silverhawk. The best part for me was that I grew up in a family of cowboys and musicians (my dad and I both competed in rodeo professionally and my mom was a professional gospel singer for many years before she had kids) so getting to see a superhero that was both of those things was pretty awesome.
I have the action figures in my family room stand, along with thundercats and voltron, and someone always ask "what are those"
You want obscure, do their other sister show Tiger Sharks!
Pulled me in, watched them both
I remember an episode where each brought out their own hawk... Talley-Hawk was the only cyborg hawk... Bluegrass' guitar transformed into his hawk... LOVED THAT EPISODE!
😂😂😏
This was really informative and I enjoyed watching. Thanks for putting it together!
Do Tigersharks
See you soon
Gg
Omg, this needs a cgi reboot. Netflix, please do this.
Netflix has been doing an outstanding job in giving older properties. Carmen Sandiego, She-Ra, Castlevania. So yeah
...... looking at you Netflix.
The art design of She-Ra is terrible.
Netflix didn’t make those series. They’re only the distributor. I think the license is currently owned by NBCUniversal or Comcast. Hopefully we will see them again soon.
Uummm........
I'm very surprised this never got some kind of reboot. You'd think a show about cybernetic heroes flying through space would peak some one's interest
This cartoon left my memory in 1986, and did not re-enter my memory until today November 9, 2019.
It's hard for me to pick just ONE favorite S"ilverHawks" episode; I just plain enjoyed the entire series.
Next project for the team working on Voltron: Legendary Defender?
That would be awesome...I like the storyline and animation style of Voltron: Legendary Defender...
Rankin Bass had developed three shows that shared the same universe, they even appear briefly in the opening credits. It was Thunder Cats, Silver Hawks, and Tiger Sharks.
I love you, your reviews are amazing and you are great!!!
As a matter of fact, Copperkid came from the small, cold, rocky Death Star like Saturnian moon Mimas.
Dang! I thought Silver Hawks was the next evolution of G-Force, and I wish Silver Hawks was more in-line with my other favorite show G-Force.
Sean Holmes I agree with you! Btw, The Copper Kid always reminded me of
Keyop.
I loved the fact that they had a message at the end that was worthwhile and the theme song was legendary.
Kid in my preschool had Silverhawks PJs with wings and I was so jealous. Thundercats and Silverhawks were my favorites!
Love that show, especially MonStar!!!
The Best Cartoon of my child Hood are The 80's please don't mess with greatness even if it is a better spin off 😲✌
You are so correct I completely forgot about this and this was part of my childhood thank you for the memories I love watching the show
I freaking love the Intro to this show still throw it on once in a while.
Really? The black guy is named Hot Wing?
😂😂😂
Lol
I liked the Silverhawks
Great presentation, loved both Silverhawks and Thundercats.
I do dearly remember miniature bits and pieces of this. Although, Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers and Dark Wing Duck which were later, did not get much more screen time.
Mon*Star looks like he'd be in as a member of SLIPKNOT. In fact, he looks like Craig Jones from Slipknot, haha!!
No way, bro. They named him “Hotwing” lol 🤦🏾♂️
Could've called him golden hawk or something
It's aired in Indonesia several years after the initial release. I loved it when I was little.
My memories of silver hawks were the bad guys , they were big, scary . The way evil should be. I owned all the bad guys , not one hawk. I even remember taking them into the operating room to keep me company during my several surgeries on my ear
Tigersharks
Why is there a planet of Mimes?
One of the best videos on my generation's cartoons. I liked her voice, presentation, everything. No annoying overacting and lame jokes. Well done. I hope to see more of her in other videos
Silverhawks captured my imagination as a kid. Being the youngest of 3 brothers my fav was Copper Kid...
