Even if you didn't know what a Reaver was (which I do) that ship of theirs is scary enough. It's like Hell's Chariot. Billowing smoke, covered in blood...scary thing.
The exec was a woman who admitted later that she scheduled the show out of sequence and did everything she could to kill it because of the interracial marriage in the show. She demanded that Whedon remove it and when he refused, she pulled every trick she could to kill the show. Both she and Whedon have verified the story in various interviews. She eventually lost her job over her overt racism but it took a long time as other managers at the network tolerated and even encouraged it at the time.
I'm pretty sure that what Zoe said was 'Sit down and hang on!' I love the way that Chinese was incorporated into the show in such a way that you always got the gist of what they were saying!
yeah would've been nice if they made it spot on. they dont need to say complete sentences. they can easily imitate a short phrase with the correct tone and pronunciation. i remember reading they had some "expert" on the show to teach them words but they honestly should've just got a random, actual chinese mandarin speaker. still super cool to see this futuristic world of english speakers barking out mandarin while fighting
They were chased by a Reaver ship in the first episode IIRC and another episode had someone be driven insane by a Reaver attack but other than that they weren't shown
Mal shoots a cable off of a harpoon buried in Jayne's leg while being shot at, on the move on an unstable platform, a moment after ducking a weapons which would have taken his head off. Zoe is the other sharpshhoter aboard, then, rather than just the one...
0:04 to 0:28 I really like the design of the Reaver Land Stalker Speeder [that's chasing the Serenity crew's personal MF-813 Flying Mule Speeder]. I have over the years built this creepy looking vehicle out of LEGO's. I'm gonna make it again, because it's cool looking and creepy at the same time. What do you guys think of the Reaver Land Stalker Speeder's design, also I wonder who designed it for this movie?
As awesome as the show and the movie are, how can Reavers be travel-capable mindless cannibals? And shouldn't they have eaten themselves long ago? Or is there still some higher function remaining in their minds, driving them to take their rage out on Parliament and the outer rim planets that escaped Miranda's fate?
ztslovebird The movie explained that the toxin (PAX) increased their anger and ferociousness rapidly, opposite the tranquil effect it was designed to have. But just because they are rabid like this doesn't mean the drug removed any of their intelligence. They retained all their knowledge and intelligence, its just they have been driven into feral animals. So they are feral animals with the same intelligence and ability they had prior to turning into Reavers.
ztslovebird Well they recognize each other and its entirely possible that the PAX made themselves undesirable for consumption. Its also possible that they recognize that without each other working together they wouldn't be able to eat anyone. As for patience, I have no answers. They are ravenous beasts with intelligence but we never see how they act when not met with humans, although we did hear a recording I think of them and they just screeched and growled. So yeah, they weren't that well explained but I think that may be due to the cancelling of the series. Can only fit so much in a movie I guess.
MySerpentine I think there might've been a team of scientists willing to look for a cure, but when they went to Miranda they were shot down, raped, eaten, skinned, and then killed.
at 0:03 I have built the Reaver Land Stalker speeder/vehicle out of LEGO's but I don't think the LEGO Company will accept it as a LEGO Set because of the red transparent LEGO pieces that act as red paint/blood to give it a gory look. [plus the added LEGO skeleton pieces to give it a very horrifying/very terrifying look].
"It sure would be nice to have some grenades, dontcha think?"
Or Dalek Bombs!
Me as Mal: Less talk more shooting
nathan improvised "faster would be better"
its a shame they canceled fire fly
Darn Straight it was.
He ad- libbed that line? AWESOME!
0:02 Even if that Reaver Land Stalker speeder is still chasing them.
"Shoot me if they take me!"
Mal aims gun at him.
"Well don't shoot me first!"
I miss this show!
Even if you didn't know what a Reaver was (which I do) that ship of theirs is scary enough. It's like Hell's Chariot. Billowing smoke, covered in blood...scary thing.

“Faster, faster, faster would be better!” Never gets old.
Feel so bad for those civilians getting attacked by the reavers. Chilling.
Yeah, me too.
I cannot even fathom how horrible of a way to go that must be.
@@Adamguy2003 It would have been better if the USS Enterprise intervened and saved those innocents by attacking the Reaver ships.
Yeah they're about to be raped to death flayed and their skin sowen into the Reaver's clothes and hopefully in that order

I just luv Joss Whedon's comedy so much.
This was such an awesome TV show but some idiot execs decided to cancel it after its first season.
Fun fact the same idiot cancelled Angel all becourse he wanted to make his make and introduce a new re make of space family Robinson

@@richardbeckenbaugh1805 - I'll take "Things That Didn't Actually Happen" for 100, Alex.
They did such a great job of painting the palpable fear of reavers. Nobody took news of them lightly.
One of my favorite movie chase scenes

1:27 its funny how he nails it with the flick-shot after failing several slow-aims.
inb4 brain aim ftw
He just got pissed by the reavers shooting shuriken at him lol xD
"I swallowed a bug".
didnt see the show until after i saw the movie who the hell thought it was a good idea to cancel this
Do they actually encounter Reavers in Firefly? In the series they're almost a terrifying legend.
Sets up the scene pretty well for Serenity
Magic in the show they only ever showed a person who was made into a Reaver. anyone who doesn't succumb to torture goes insane and joins them.
They were chased by a Reaver ship in the first episode IIRC and another episode had someone be driven insane by a Reaver attack but other than that they weren't shown
The scene above is from Serenity of course, not Firefly.
Mal shoots a cable off of a harpoon buried in Jayne's leg while being shot at, on the move on an unstable platform, a moment after ducking a weapons which would have taken his head off. Zoe is the other sharpshhoter aboard, then, rather than just the one...

But would they have the patience to fly spacecraft? Or not eat each other as they flew from planet to planet?

ztslovebird One thing that would piss me off in their place is that no one seems to be looking for a cure.

The style this is shot in, kind of reminds of the Mandalorian. I wonder if they were fans of the show.
I think so. The Mandalorian’s ship looks like Serenity.
this is not firefly but serenity firefly is the series this is the movie
This is actually the pilot episode.
EnderShadow then I highly suggest you watch the pilot again
+EnderShadowz24 The pilot is also called Serenity, but this is from the movie.
Oh. Oops. To be fair, I have to see the movie and a friend told me this clip was from the pilot...
I have this image of River grabbing a gun, jumping onto the Reaver transport and shooting them between the slots.

When was this show?
The TV series first aired in 2002 and this movie was released in 2005
Fox screwed up when they canceled it
@@jaderounder Amen, Brother!
@@jaderounder They screwed up when they gave it a shit timeslot and aired the episodes out of order.
