Flynn's words about "I wrote you. I taught you everything about the system. You're the best program that's ever been written. You're dogged and relentless" are downright creepy when you think about Legacy.

When people hear the name "Clu", they do not think of the loyal program who gave his life for his user... they can only think of the monster whom Flynn could not control.

"You're the best program that's ever been written" is unintentionally awesome forshadowing

This Clu was a lot nicer.

Is it just me or does this film do a great job showing the futuristic atmosphere of 1980s pop culture?

2:30 Behold, the big bad villain of “Tron: Legacy”: CLU!!

I like the original Tron and the Legacy. Both were stellar unique films. The whole concept was fun and interesting- being inside a computer and it being a whole world in there with characters and conflict.

how is "meanwhile in the real world" not a meme yet?

its not ironic. this is a completely different clu than in tron legacy. this clu was derezzed at the end of this video. kevin built a new clu, and that is the one in tron legacy.

Clu’s scream is pure gold! Jeff Bridges made this film. David Warner pretty darned great too.

(2:30) Master Control Program: $1500 Bit: $0.01 Jeff Bridges screaming like a girl: Priceless

I just now noticed that when Kevin flipped a "DAMN IT!' and showed the tank crashing, it's because CLU crashed. CLU.exe has stopped responding. the application froze and crashed. i loled

So I might have covered what happens computer-wise here! Flynn tries to send his program Clu to the system. This program has to get through the firewall, which he manages to 0:50 Unfortunately, Antivirus MCP's data analysers (known as Recognizers) has detected Clu as a virus 1:27 The recognizers are basically occurences of some recognizer.exe which would be a subprogram of MCP meant to read datas and report anomalies, which would mean Clu is trying to corrupt (destroy) each of them in the server's RAM (the Random Access Memory, not the program), which is obviously futile as the MCP has plenty of them. Clu's process ends up freezing after terminating another Recognizer (Clu.exe has stopped working) 2:25 Then MCP catches him and proceeds to analyze then terminate the virus 3:10 Through his analysis, he reads the code might be similar to Flynn's coding (MCP is most likely an AI program, since he's able to communicate with users) and decides to report Flynn's effraction to Dilinger (did I spell it correct?), just as any antivirus must alert the user when a threat has been caught. Of course, that's all my interpretations and I have no idea if that was the intention... But I like to think it was, as it would be very clever.

Sorry, but I think its so CUTE when Clu said "Let me at them" in the begining. XD

Clu is the only known program (besides Abraxas) to have yellow circuitry. Apparently, it’s because he is a foreign program created by Flynn, which makes him distinct from normal programs (Blue) and MCP programs (red).

I love how clu screams like a woman when he crashes also I think recognizers represent lag

One very interesting easter egg is if you have the 20th anniversary edition on dvd, look around the extra's menu and you should see a shot of Clu staring right at you. Something about this feels as if he's truly the precursor to Clu 2.0. Keep in mind, this was before Legacy even had a script.

Nicest sounding keyboard ever. Love those old 1980's ivory alp switches.

Who would have ever thought good 'ol Clu would one day have a "bad" version? Nice tie-in between 1982 and 2010

Way too cool for 1982!

2:31 all manliness was taken away that very second

The design of the Game Tank and Recognizer were amazing. We need a simulator, and I'd love be to build large scale models of them. We need Space Paranoids! Why has that never happened...

3:27 I hear Toby Maguire’s scream

"I never should have written all those tank programs..."

Jesus i didn't realize how traumatizing it is to watch clu get erased. Its only the computer world but it was a hardcore death then and its a hardcore death now👍

Think about this: We never saw CLU 2 get inside, interact with, or even mention a tank in Legacy. He erased his one weakness the minute he ascended to power!

A little "TRON" personal backstory. I saw this at the theatre in 1982. When it was available on VHS, I used to play the scene back over and over. Part of this scene used to put me in a trance or very relaxed state. If you go to 0:37 you'll notice a slight hum or melodic sound (used throughout the film in other parts). Not sure if that was a part of Wendy Carlos' soundtrack or just an effect added to the computer world sounds...but it was sooo soothing when I was kid. Now, with youtube, I can have it repeat and use it for meditation. I would be interested in knowing if anyone else did this.

Man, "Tron" (1982) was, and still is, one of my all time favorite movies, due to the fact that it's special effects, settings AND imagery inside of The Grid looks really impressive in my opinion 😏😉👍

bit is so brave.. "get outta here"...."yesyesyes..."-bit runs away- XDDD

2:31 CLU crashed

"You're the best Program I've ever written. You're dogged and relentless" --- Uh, NO SHIT Flynn.

I watched this before I watched Legacy as a 13-year-old, and I regret to say I didn't pay much attention to this film. I remember this scene now after all these years and I never realized Clu was in this movie, and he was a loyal program to Flynn to the bitter end.

2:30 that part never gets old.

Has really nobody noticed he starts sipping on some cyber coffee at 0:44

Star Wars IV, Logan's Run and TRON - the 3 movies that influenced me the most in my childhood years (

maybe i'm old but i think the cgi in this is still amazing

1982 special effects were amazing for the time.

Oh the irony... Clu saying " Forget it, mr high and might Master Program!" and now he's the Master Program in Legacy...

No matter how old this movie is, the narrative is spot on, the movie doesn't get outdated.

"DAMN IT!" Sounds like me with my crappy internet connection

Love the 'clue' that he's been 'fixing' his bank account and phone bills. ;)

Not even Legacy can touch the aesthetic of this film. The whole thing just feels shrouded in mystery and magic. A lot of that is attributed to Wendy Carlos' fantastic score.

Must say Clu is so fabulous

Jeff Bridges should have won an Oscar for the scream alone @ 2:30 :)

This is my favorite Jeff Bridges performance

"Let me at 'em!" - CLU, 1982

Personally, I headcanon Clu 1.0's scream was out of frustration that he was crashing and that his mission was going sour. He doesn't scream the same way when near the MCP, instead only yelling in pain.

So 80's, I love it so much. I honestly couldn't grasp the concept till I was older since I knew little about computers as a kid.

I vividly remember seeing "Tron" in 1982, and being an engineering student at that time I was blown-away by the graphics, knowing that the resolution and rendering required massive computational power that was very hard to come by back then, ie CRAY-1 supercomputer. Even to this day, more than 40 years later, the graphics are still impressive.

3:26 should be a meme. "I was simp-" (gets tortured)

The cgi in this movie is actually quite fitting actually cause it fits the computers they had 40 years ago.

Can't wait to see Tron Legacy. Clu 2.0 is villan!

I always liked that little grin after "Suite yourself."

These CLU attacks fill in the gap spoken about in Tron legacy. The scene where Flynn explains to Sam that there was a coup, where he was supposed to create the perfect system. I think once Flynn defeated the master program with TRON and CLU (his mirror), he was able to enter the grid and create said perfect system....after a while CLU rebelled against him after lusting for that administrator power. Just imagine the timeline from Flynn's POV, this is what he make Legacy from, an 80s aesthetic into the sleek 2010 version.

Good 'ol Flynn( Jeff bridges) was hilarious. He brought humour to the movie.

I like this clue than the newer one!

I wish I made a digital copy of myself in TRON (1982), Chaine de lepiquer.

Just imagine CLU2 as this CLU. Aww, so faithful!

2:30 Clu loses his purse

@yukimaruzam I agree. Making the villain of Tron Legacy CLU was just an absolute stroke of brilliance by the writers. You always wanted to know more about his character in this one.

I rewatched Legacy last night and then Tron for the first time. It really gives you an appreciation on just how fantastically Legacy followed up on the original Film. Seeing it backwards allowed me to see a glimps into what the writers of legacy may have been thinking when they watched this movie.

Clu 1.0

Everyone and anyone who goes to see Tron Legacy should watch this 4 minutes and 8 second clip. Makes the villian so much more real.

I just realized. Clu got Crucified.

Greetings programs!

I watched and enjoyed both TRON movies.

Tron was a great 👍 film!I didn’t see this film 🎥 till year’s later,though.It’s hard to believe,it was made in;1982?!

@Clymax01 when you watch tron legacy ,Clu 2 is a completely new version of Clu.The only relationship between Clu 1 and Clu 2 is that they have the same name and user: Kevin Flynn

When Tron comes up in conversation every guy wants to imagine he's so damn cool zipping along on a light cycle. And me, I was different. I wanted my own game tank.

amazing...! Loved the original TRON and was excellently surprised how well they pulled this off. the new TRON - only neg Comment.. I wished they used more referances to the old movie→ Like the 'no 'no 'no 'no 'yes 'yes 'yes 'yes "Bit" Greetings programs..etc etc Φ 'End of Line' was earily missing...

i love how CLU sounds robotic in the beginning

Flynn waiting for a response, not realizing all the crap poor Clu is going through.

It just dawned on me that that his bit is likely the one who finds Flynn and claims he is his program.

Clu in Tron is like me in school Clu in Tron Legacy is me in college

I was just looking for when we saw Clu in the first movie - thanks for uploading this!

I don't mean to laugh but this scene always reminds me of some parody on U.S. army recruitment. Program "Cluless": "I am an army of one sir, let me at 'em......" Army Recruiter: "Alright son, just keep that tank rolling and I'll try to cover you from this end, go!...." Program "Cluless" (after his capture): "I was sent here by the U.S. Governnnnnn AAAAHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" Christ, I can't stop laughing!

Clu has the funniest scream ever.

love clu's scream

Never would've thought that clu would be a good guy.

I love the way Clu screams

MCP : YOUR IN TROUBLE PROGRAM MAKE IT EASY ON YOURSELF WHO'S YOUR USER? CLUE: FORGET IT HIGH MIGHTY MASTER CONTROL YOU ARNT MAKING ME TALK MCP : SUIT YOURSELF CLUE : OHHHHHHH AHHHHHHH FADES OUT

Remaking this on my Amiga 500 in DeluxPaint IV was one of the coolest things I ever did. Shame 512K RAM wasn't enough to do more.

I still don't get how Flynn and Clu can chat like that. Or how Alan literally talked with Tron at the end.

02:31 --Program crash, ERROR 404

If this version of CLU wasn't killed, imagine what would happen if he somehow got to meet CLU 2 from TRON Legacy. I know that wouldn't be possible since Kevin can only copies stuff to the new grid he designed for Legacy. For example, he copied Tron to that grid, so he's not just the original. He's basically a clone of the original Tron. But the only way that an original program would be able to get one grid to another without being copied would be by coming to the real world with Kevin, like how Quorra comes to the real world with Sam. So if this version of CLU survived and went to the new grid with Kevin, imagine him meeting CLU 2. Of course, if CLU 1 did survive then Kevin wouldn't have created a new version of him. But if CLU 1 did meet CLU 2, I feel like this would be their interaction after CLU 1 finds out that CLU 2 wants to get rid of the ISOs... CLU 1: Don't do this. This is not what Flynn made you for. CLU 2: Not what he made me for? He created me to create the perfect system. CLU 1: This is not the way to do it! You can't create perfection by destroying everything! CLU 2: In order to build something, you need clear space. And I am making more space on the grid by getting rid of what is not needed. CLU 1: And you think the ISOs aren't needed? CLU 2: What good are they to us? CLU 1: Flynn wants to bring them to the real world! Cure disease, he said! He was going to change the world! CLU 2: And he promised we would change the world TOGETHER! He broke his promise! CLU 1: If you really wanted to do the right thing, you wouldn't want to derez programs and you wouldn't betray Flynn. CLU 2: I am doing this for us. And in order to get to the grid's maximum potential, we have to get rid of every single thing that is imperfect. CLU 1: Like you? (CLU 2 is now pissed. He walks up to CLU 1 slowly and gets close to his face.) CLU 2: Has it ever occurred to you why Flynn created me instead of just using you? Why made me to create the perfect system instead of asking you to do it? It's because he wanted that in my programing. For it to be what users call a "soul purpose". And what about you? He created you to hack the ENCOM computer system to search for proof that Dillinger stole Flynn's video games. And what happened when you tried searching for the proof? You were captured and sent to the Main Control Program. Flynn had to find the evidence himself in those memories. Now that Flynn found them, what good are you now? You are no longer needed to find that evidence. "Utility" in our name may mean being useful, but only I am useful now. You no longer have a purpose. And since you were caught back then, that makes me better than you. You're just a rough draft of what CLU is really meant to be. So, to sum up everything, you are imperfect too. And I have to make sure that this grid is perfect... by getting rid of everything that is imperfect. (CLU 2 uses his disk to derez CLU 1. CLU 1 screams in pain as this happens.)

That scene i side the tank was seamless and so well done!

Poor Clu!

Love the sound effects as he pops the hatch on the tank.

no matter how many times i see this, i can't help but laugh at Clu's scream b4 hitting the wall

RIP original Clu.

Ahhhh...brings back memories of when you could only play the best videogames in the arcade. Also... Considering they developed the game pretty much simultaneously as the movie was shooting, they did a pretty darn good job. That said, a few things were a little off, like: - No spiders in the movie - The bad guys were in the BLUE cycles - The tanks has an offset mount point (it just looked cool) in the movie

Can't wait for this on Blu-Ray!

Great scene, love it hehe, and love the Original Tron too. The scream is hilarious hehe.

my life in I.T.

I have seen this movie over 600 times!

I so love this movie I saw it when it first came out in 1982 I was 9 years old.

I ALWAYS Loved that tank from 'TRON' and I REALLY Need to build that model of that tank!! With its radioactive paint and High Black sheen!!

note: clu in legacy is specifically called "Clu 2.0". he's a second Clu, successor to this one and far stronger because he was created by kevin flynn in-world, not from a normal keyboard programming method.

Original Clu was totally epic!

greeting program!
