Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - Theatrical Pilot Opening
Рет қаралды 1,035,236
Күн бұрынThis is the opening to the original theatrical release (March 1979) of the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century theatrical film. It is significantly different from the opening to the television series.
The only other copy of this on youtube ( • Buck Rogers Theatrical... ) is filmed from a small TV, and I figured I'd show you all a better version. Enjoy!
Note: This video is fair use under U.S. copyright law because it is (1) non-commercial, (2) uses only 2% of the original work, and (3) does not compete with the original work and could have no negative effect on its market.

Song lyrics: Far beyond the world I've known, Far beyond my time. What am I, who am I, what will I be? Where am I going, and what will I see? Searching my mind for some truth to reveal What thoughts are fantasy, what memories real? Long before this life of mine, Long before this time. What was there, who cared to make it begin? Is it forever, or will it all end? Searching my past for things that I've seen Is it my life, or just something I've dreamed? Far beyond this world I've known, Far beyond my time. What kind of world am I going to find? Will it be real, or just all in my mind? What am I, who am I, what will I be? Where am I going, and what will I see?

This TV show was shown on BBC2 at 19:30 every Friday night way back in 1992, I would come home from school, finish doing my homework and kick off the weekend with Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and finally Buck Rogers. I could not imagine that in the year of 1992 that i would see these very shows being repeated on TV so a big thanks to BBC2 for bringing these back so that all of us 80s and 90s kids get see them as well. I also watched this movie on TV when i was away on holiday in the Canary Islands in 1993 and i did not mind it being dubbed in spanish but what an awesome film it was.

@@markpierce4416 Well with Lou Ferrigno when he's the Hulk, the only way he's able to show the audience what he's thinking or feeling, is with his body language under the makeup (the same with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the first Terminator film) as the only time the tv Hulk speaks is in the last scene of The Death Of The Incredible Hulk when he says the name "Jasmine". Now that takes a lot of acting talent.

Every once and a while I have to see this to confirm that I did see this in the theater when I was young and that yes, women were much more beautiful back then. No hideous tattoos, piercings, and yes, we knew what not to wear if overweight. It was called having taste and shame.

My dad took me to see this when i was younger. his knowledge of buck rogers was from his childhood, and when this intro was presented he said aloud in the theater "What the hell kind of nonsense is this? This isn't Buck Rogers". He marched out of the theater. I never got to actually see this movie until years later, though I did watch the TV series when it came out. He used to puzzle about why they didn't use the TV show intro for the movie. He never forgave them for ransacking what had been one of his favorite serials. I remember as we drove home, with sadness in his voice he said, "You are growing up in a very different world than I did Son. I'm sorry. I'm sorry this is what we've left you with. "

500+ years......... Buck Rogers in the 25th Century keeps me in the groovy fantasy. With Battlestar Galactica ,Star trek (from Paramount pictures), and all the craving space science fiction fans , as well as the works in the late '70s- early '80s......... this could be fun. Either way the song was cool, but the series brings back my childhood memories. thanks RIP Glen A. Larson

Magical .. makes my temperature rise beyond imagination. The theme song along with the visuals- money! This is the stuff dreams are made of, and it all began at the age of 6 when I first saw this (on TV actually). My parents must have taken me to see the flick as well because I remember bits and pieces of this splendid intro. I revisit this at least once a year- just because. Ah .. the late 70s! I may have been super young, but I remember stuff like this and it always puts a smile on my face.

Far beyond this world I've known, Far beyond my time.. What am I, Who am I, What will I be? Where am I going and what will I see?.. Searching my mind for some truth to reveal, What thoughts are fantasy, What memories real? Long before this life of mine, Long before this time... What was there, Who cared, To make it begin, Is it forever, Or will it all end? Searching my past, For the things that I've seen, Is it my life, Or just something I dreamed? Far beyond this world of mine, Far beyond my time, What kind of world am I going to find? Will it be real, Or just all in my mind? What am I? Who am i? What will I be? Where am I going, And what will I see?
