His memory was the first thing to go, as proven in his recollection of what "Rock" music was. Yet he still remembered how to do the Hustle. Man, this show was a whole lot cooler when I was 10 years old.
i purchased the complete series. It is so much fun to watch, it Brings back so many memories Of all the great shows they once had, and which I enjoyed. so many of them.
As a young male I was pressed to get back to you,I eventual after while focused on what was ahead an moved on ,sometimes but not all the time I regret comeing on earth
Sad Buck Rogers just vanished from pop culture by the mid 80s. Prior to that, it had been part of sci-fi culture in various ways since the 1920s. I imagine a large part of that was it seeming very similar to Star Wars, itself likely partly inspired by Buck Rogers (before the TV show, which came out after the first Star Wars). Even though it predated Star Wars by 50 years (via short stories, comics, etc.), a lot of the public may just think of it as being some cheesy Star Wars rip-off.
@@AR15andGOD George Lucas said himself that SW was inspired by the old Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon serials from the 20’s and 30’s. Ironic that this version of Buck Rogers was partly inspired by the movie that was inspired by the original Buck Rogers. Lol
The trailer's narrator made a mistake when he said Cape Kennedy, it stopped being called that in 1973 when it reverted to its' previous name, Cape Canaveral.
As with any Sci-Fi movie it's all about alternative universe that doesn't necessarily talk about our current reality. So ya it should have said Cape Canaveral but it's what it is. Plus a side note the "compact startship" is actually the original shuttle in an episode of Battlestar Galatica and later repurposed for this show. I didn't know this till I saw it in my FB newsfeed.
@@maggiemae7539 No, it was always Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. The original Phillip Nowlan story was titled "Armageddon 2419. AD", published in 1928, with the newspaper strip, title Buck rogers in the 25th century AD, following, in 1929. A radio series followed in 1932 and the movie serial in 1939. This movie and the NBC tv series always carried the title Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
If they do a modern remake he needs to spend a portion of the time on Earth in the current era. Showing so little of that would be like starting ROBOCOP with him being rebuilt into a cyborg instead of what they did do which was have him as a person for nearly the first half hour of the movie. I think it would be cool to maybe show him on tv being interviewed and when the reporter addresses him as Mr. William Rogers have him smile and say "Buck" my friends just call me "buck" and then the reporter says ok, Buck Rogers then starts asking questions about his upcoming space mission.
Done right, it has a lot of potential. I even really like this trailer. They need to stick to the original. And yeah I agree they should do some good character development. Who knows maybe sometime in the future it will be remade.
@@mando074 As corny, silly and flawed as the show was one thing that was COOL about it was that he was from a literary standpoint almost like Batman in that he was a DARK HERO. He was a larger than life combination of super hero and astronaut and a total badass having swashbuckling save the day and save the world adventures but he was also a very sad and lonely man who had suffered great loss and trauma and his sadness and depression showed at times. That DUALITY was interesting. The show was NOT perfectly happy. It had an element of TRAGEDY to it. It was actually kind of a SAD STORY with "A Dream of Jennifer" maybe the saddest (Hawk losing his wife was sad too but I mean sad for Buck himself). And visiting his own parent's graves at a grave yard was pretty raw too. That scene would have been even better if he were to visit HIS OWN GRAVE. When a person is declared legally dead and there is no body they still put up a token grave stone for the mourners to see.
@@Zurround all of that sounds really cool. I was a kid when this came out and so only remember a few episodes and finding re-runs was hard back then. I always wanted to watch it in sequence but couldn't for one reason or another. Like you said hopefully they re-make it someday. If done right it could be really good. Maybe make two 2-hour movie volumes to cover the whole thing. Maybe more if it picks up an audience. They should also re-make Flash Gordon. I only knew the cartoon version from '79 but really liked it. Good "cereal" cartoon.
@@mando074 The 1980 movie version of Flash Gordon was so bad that it was good, almost as campy as the Adam West version of Batman. It would be interesting to see a modern take on it. Star Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy felt to me a lot like what a modern version of Buck Rogers could be like. He was not exactly the same kind of character but surprisingly similar. A modern take on the character could have worlds and environments and alien beings not possible for a tv show filmed in the late 1970s with a limited budget.
@@Zurround many years later I saw parts of the Flash Gordon movie on TV and I agree it was terrible. Like it should have been on MST3K. Back to Buck, yeah if done carefully it could be great. CG aliens now look much better and as long as they avoid the mistakes others have made with having full CG characters it could be a great movie(s). More story than CG. Hopefully it will picked up at some point.
I love how the commander of all of Earth's defense forces: (1) is a woman (how progressive!) (2) but is only a colonel (let's not go nuts and make a woman a general) (2) still flies combat missions
Life has been a challenge on earth an very heart felt an knowing what tears feel like ,but not let it consume you I say what did I expect it would be like being on earth
Gilbert Gerard. He was handsome in his youth but sadly did not age well, started looking terrible about 10 years after the show filmed its final episode.
Saw this in the theater, before the debut of the tv series. I prefer the movie edit to the tv version of the pilot film and wish they had continued it as a series of mini-series (2-part stories) as they did originally (and as Larson's other sci-fi series, Battlestar Galactica, had begun), rather than the weekly series. the early mini-series versions were better stories, though I enjoyed most of the first season. The retooled second season, not so much. They went cheap and the writing was bad and cast changes didn't help. Wilma was demoted to a glorified space stewardess (sexy uniform, though).
Should have kept the original format of the show.Bringing in Hawk was great,then Buck & Hawk would've been an excellent tv duo for at least 3 years.without changing anything on the show.
I wish your parents made a remake of you so maybe you wouldn't turn out fuked in the head wanting to eat poop and carry aids as if it were your baby.... homosexual
alien woman - "Give him something for his discomfort." me - "On Earth, women give men that which you have between your legs for discompfort. It's actually custom and recommended as best medical practice."
Not knowing you could get stuck is there a law to prevent such a thing like that to happen to me ,after what I experience I don't know ,but I do know I should be able toove to a better position
I was watching this the other day and noticed some things that got by me when I was a teen who only saw Wilma and Princess Ardala. Lol. First, a society run by A.I.. Scary as shit. Machines telling people how to live. Skynet anyone? An elitist upper class that lives in a nice enclosed city while the poor and radiation sick live in the ruins of old Earth cities like animals. In the first episode they held Buck prisoner without legal representation. And then Dr. Theopolis and that ridiculous robot set Buck up, helping him scape the city. Almost got him executed. Wilma Dearing lost almost her entire squadron while fighting Draconian “pirates” and barely even reacted to the deaths of those pilots. Same with Buck. Like “Oh well. We have plenty of pilots.” Also, did Wilma train those pilots? Because they really sucked! Lol. There was a lot more but I don’t wanna nitpick . . .
Interesting that he is not only able to operate a 25th century star fighter but to boot is the BEST at it right off the bat. Yes he was an elite astronaut OVER FIVE CENTURIES EARLIER. What's next? A world War 1 flying ace will immediately be a pro at controlling the F35?
this is the worst quality trailer I've ever seen. I saw this movie, loved it as a kid, and it looked NOTHING like this. Film is all screwed up on this upload

Maybe the most under rated comment of all of youtube 😅😅😅
Muscle memory 😆
the series proved how 'locked' into the 70s it was with disco music and roller skating --- even the 'fashions' [urgh]
@@pulphope
muscle atrophy
i used to love this movie and the show when i was a kid ! i still enjoy it , it takes me back !
The sound effect just like Battle Star Galactica.
Same writer.
I was a kid and loved watching this show
The physics and timing🤔🤫🤣🤣🤣🤣 But in all seriousness, this was one of my favorite shows when it first debuted. Yeah, I am that old.
i purchased the complete series.
It is so much fun to watch, it
Brings back so many memories
Of all the great shows they
once had, and which I enjoyed.
so many of them.
This shit sucks
Agree 💯👍
Gotta love it, 1987 was "futuristic" when this was made 😂
And challenger exploded in 1986
It was made in 1979.
I graduated high school in 1987. In the Buck Rogers canon, that's the year when World War III begun.
so was 1984
One of my favorite TV shows.
I purchased the whole series(2 seasons) years ago! Wonderful guest stars in every episode!
Same here. Got the DVD box set.
Was just watching "The Hand of Goral" earlier this evening. I was just 7-8 years old too when I watched the series. Enjoy re-watching!
The fact that the musician figured out Rock in about 20 seconds.
I love classic Sci-fi.
It's called gettin' down!
Dad humor just wiped out the whole crew lmao
I loved this show when I was a kid
Did watch them all back then... wish i could see this all again for the 1st time.
I watched ths show religiously as a lil kid I loved it
As a young male I was pressed to get back to you,I eventual after while focused on what was ahead an moved on ,sometimes but not all the time I regret comeing on earth
I saw this at a drive-in the summer it was made. Just before the tv season. That and Battlestar Galactica.
RIP Dick Tufeld, most famously known as the voice of the robot from original Lost In Space TV series.
The show was a good goof for young children.
Love the music from the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Captiva raid.

My first thought was star wars ripoff since the movie cover is identical to a new hope with them wearing white and using laser pistols

Sorry, but even though Buck is of course the original, this specific film IS nothing but a cheesy Star Wars rip-off.
Should be up with starwars
Haha. Love the wind noises when they showed Buck's spacecraft tumbling in space!
Was just watching an episode of Little House he was on and my son didn't know who Buck Rogers was!! I'm such a bad mom. ROFL Had to show him this.
I always loved Little House on the Prairie. Such a great show! I need to get that series someday.

It was my favorite TV series when I was a kid. 25th century. most awesome series when ı was a child ( ı think 7 years)
Wasn't it "Buck Rogers in the 21st Century"? That's what I remember as a kid watching this show every Thursday night.
Yes. But the original movie with buster crabbe came out in the late 30s

I WAS IN ❤❤❤❤WITH THIS SHOW🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I read that as “I was in the show” and I was about to be like “tell me all about it!!” Haha
Oh look my favorite TV series haha.
I cant wait til this comes out!!
It was great when I was a kid 😃
As engineer I now only see the flaws.
“It’s called getting down”
The sound effects reminds me of Battlestar Galactica (1978). 😀
They should make a movie out of this
I was 10 years old back then, and in this TV series , they predict future like video calling, like what we are doing today
Was 14 when I first watched this, sacrificed much toilet paper to the leading women learning to 5-knuckle shuffle.
I love how the commander of all of Earth's defense forces:
(1) is a woman (how progressive!)
(2) but is only a colonel (let's not go nuts and make a woman a general)
(2) still flies combat missions
Hahaha 🤣
It might take a few hundred years, but eventually we'll get over the scars of 4th+ wave feminism.
If she was a general she would probably be stuck in an office somewhere, not out in the field commanding troops.
Ardala: What are you doing? (1:54).
Buck: Dance off, girl. Me and you.
Can you believe that there are actually world's just like this out there some world's that came and gone
Life has been a challenge on earth an very heart felt an knowing what tears feel like ,but not let it consume you I say what did I expect it would be like being on earth
You gotta love the sound of the laser guns in the vacuum of space,.... pew-pew!
I wish I had all the toys from the 70s and 80s
This is like a Southern version of Star Wars
saw it in the theaters and liked it. Loved season 1, hated season 2.
This is before my time, but it looks kinda alright. Id watch it.
Where can I find this, I loved it as a kid?!
Does anyone know the name of the music playing at the start? That Blackpool tower sort of vibe...
1987😮

But it's the good cheese... 🧀
alien woman - "Give him something for his discomfort."
me - "On Earth, women give men that which you have between your legs for discompfort. It's actually custom and recommended as best medical practice."
The frozen scenes are different here as is the "Rock Music" than in the final theatrical release.
If l had my eyes closed, l'd think l was listening to a fight scene from Battlestar: Gallactica. 😅
