Still love this movie. It was so ambitious for it's time. It's far more enjoyable to watch than the current block buster sci-fi like the star wars movies.
Ebert, of Siskel and Ebert, called it confusing and generally shat upon it. The overrated hack. They dumbed it down for people and it was still too much for them. Perhaps what we need is a high budget cable series rather than a movie that tries to cram too much in.
@@RonJohn63 The Mini-Series version was very close to the books, and for mine a better version. Still, the FULL 3.5 hour version of this movie was pretty good too. Just sad it got cut to shit in some versions.
I loved the art direction of this version. The miniseries is better overall because it has more time to show everything. The new movie is supposed to be the first half of the first book, and it looks like it's going to be awesome.
I love that he is about to lure a 1000 ton sandworm... Walks 100 feet away from the group and plants the lure in the sand. Rest of the Fremen should be looking at each other nervously like... 'Isn't he going to go a bit further away?'
This scene, for me, really captures the immensity and power of the book's sandworm, and the static lightning was an especially nice visual touch. Visual storytelling is important, and here I could clearly understand how and why the Fremen regarded the Worms as the direct agents of God.
The movie is out and I promise you. They're presence alone is badass and Chilling. SO MENACING how you see this Dust cloud just hastily making it's way towards you
Actually this scene is pretty accurate to the books, it shows how Paul uses the hooks to open the scales of the worm to expose it’s interior. This way the worm won’t submerge back into the sand & bury Paul with it. Naturally, it will arise higher to avoid sand from entering it’s exposed open parts (According to Frank Herbert).
Yes, the millions of microscopic dust & melange particles lifting into the air from the worm moving around on the desert surface aids in the lightning as well as just the friction alone. This is similar to lightning strikes that can be seen in the ash clouds of volcanic eruptions, such as the lightning seen when Mt St Helens blew. The static charge lightning is briefly mentioned in the novel, thus the Lynch version is justified showing this in his own interpretation. The Villeneuve 2021 version never showed the lightning iirc. Whatever the case, the piezoelectric-like lightning in the Lynch version makes it more epic & dramatic for such a gigantic kaiju beast. 12/04/24
The effects in this movie run the gamut from horrendous to breath-taking. For 1984, the emerging Shai-Hulud is done bloody brilliantly. It's a shame that the very next scene with it is a rather shoddy composite shot. Overall I think Lynch really understood the mythical aspect of the worm, hence the weird spinning shot of the inside of its mouth, like something out of a nightmare, too big for humans to comprehend. Touches like this elevated the creature.
Yeah some of it looks good. The greenscreen stuff is terrible though - I wonder if that's just because it's sharper on a modern screen than it would have been in 1984.
it's a cult classic to me. especially with the musical score. which was completely awesome. the guitar riff when Stilgar joins Paul on top of the worm.
1:33 is hands down one of the best-executed pracical effects I've seen in any movie. The way the particles (actually not sand but very finely ground glass) move and the way the camera shakes and slightly loses focus really sell me on the incredible scale of whats depicted. I easily forget that this worm is actually only a few meters long.
my dad show'd me this wen i was little. i remember not being scared of the worm but thinking this scene was the coolest shit iv seen ever at the time. and i still love it today.
That’s great! Every time I see a big set stacking on the horizon, this epic music will come to mind. “Take the longboard of our sietch, and ride as a leader of men.”
@@adisharr The movie was a super shitty adaptation. The books are WAY more complex. The tv series was better, bit unfortunately had a restricted budget.
The movie got me into the book and there are a lot of things the movie got right. I was a kid when I saw this and was like, "Wait... you can ride a worm??!"
@@VideosOfRandomContext Lol. Especially with that name... Weak boi. This book is THE Scifi story. Forget Star Wars. (I love Star Wars though) Because... U like Yoda? Fine, in Dune every darn second person u meet has something to say of the same gravity of Yodas best quotes. U gotta work through that. I started Dune like 5 years ago and Im still not finished, still recuperating everything before I dare to touch the last one.
@@horsthooden4600 Jesus Christ you sound arrogant and please do something with that ego of yours 😂 I don’t even watch Star Wars lmfao. I genuinely love reading sci-fi novels but I found Dune’s introductory of concepts and characters very overwhelming. I’m definitely going to continue reading it again but I think a break should be good :)
David Lynch is a master of image, period, end of conversation. Dune has the lucky of being such a masterpiece both times on Theater, David and Denis are masters, PERIOD.
I love the call back to the "I must not fear..." scene, the fact he starts off with a simple box and a Benegesserit woman psychically fucking with him, and here we see him luring a multi thousand ton giant worm that could easily eat an entire city and riding the fuckin thing. People say this movie is low quality, unfaithful to the book, David Lynch himself hates it despite making a cameo, but still, I think it's a damn good movie. One of the things that started majorly getting me into Sci-Fi. Dune is a 10 out of 10, don't even get me started on the operatic metal when he gets on the worm...
The thing that’s missing from the new Dune, which is incredible btw, is what’s encompassed in this scene. The heart and warrior spirit that Stilgar and Paul share for each other that’s demonstrated in the novel. Its such a beautiful glorious triumphant moment that I think this scene captures brilliantly ❤
as someone who did not read the books, but watch this as a kid in the 80s and playing the Dune game series on a PC during the 90s, this is my Dune and i love it, sorry :-)
The first three minutes are brilliant. The building of the main theme, the chanting by the Fremen, and the worried thoughts of Paul sell the glorious terror of a sandworm. When the worm breaches it is dond with practical effects which makes everything about it more real. The last bit with the lighting that forms around it's mouth gives you the scale and power of the creature. It can effect the very weather with it's presence. No wonder the Fremen worship a Sandworms as the embodiment of God.
i loved this film...don't care what anyone says...lynch gave it a good shot...fantastic soundtrack aswell....excellent shot at 3:38 giving the sense of scale. can't wait for villenuve's version this October
I started reading Dune in 1973 when I was in Jr, high. I have now read the novels a few times and the subsequent books by Herbert's son. Great fiction. Great imagination. This movie is better than the others.
I don't know how the new Dune will handle this scene, but I doubt they will be able to match the epicness of riding a giant worm to the sweet guitar riffs of Toto. It is UNMATCHED.
I'm looking forward to the new Dune, but was somewhat disappointed by the gray hues and jarring sounds that permeated the trailer. Arrakis is a vast, silent, sun-baked sea of sand. Hopeful we will be able to experience that epic, desolate feel in the new film, instead of just jumping between action scenes. Villeneuve usually takes his time and establishes atmosphere, so I am optimistic that the trailer is hyped up to bring folks into the theater, as was the case with the Blade Runner 2049 trailer, instead of a true reflection of the film.
I understand not wanting it to be all out action, but as described in the books the light is meant to be white if I'm remembering correctly, thus a more grey white look would be more accurate than the orange seen in this clip?
i can stil hear the HAAAAAAAAAAABIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABIBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA echo through my head
Absolutely. Lynch is great for the nostalgia but Dune Part 2’s scene is SO GOOD. The music, the atmosphere, the sound design and everything especially in IMAX was astoundingly amazing. Best movie ever for me.
Many iconic scenes, but the one that forever sticks in my mind, is the voice-weapons training, Paul's realization both of concern and acceptance: "And my Name is a Killing Word."
You don't conquer Shai-Hulud, you learn how to live with him. You exploit his tendencies for awhile, then you let him go on his way. It's the only way.
Some observations comparing this movie and the new one: - One thing that I found absurd from this movie was that Fremen are extremely white. They have been living on that planet for thousands of years, yet seem to have lived in a cold environment with very little sun. That is one thing I do like from the new one, it's more realistic. - The strong orange color grading in this one makes it feel more real to me, it really feels like a different planet. - The pacing on this one makes the worm feel more majestic, like there is really a huuuge dimension to the creature. Though the new one makes it feel like there is real danger to mounting it, in this one it doesn't seem that hard. - The characters are much better presentend on the new one, in this one the Fremen are too much eager to just get on with things and it feels a bit flat. - The main failure of this movie is that it tries to pack too much in too little time, I would much rather watch the original 5 hour version (or even the 8 hour version).
>The characters are much better presentend on the new one I thought it butchered or misrepresented a good chunk of the characters. Several felt like they were the characters in name only, or that they were simplified or Flanderised versions of their book counterparts. Hell, it even fabricated a lot of the interpersonal conflict while removing scenes of conflict that were actually in the original story.
@@tjames4597 Fair enough. Though I meant "presented" in a general way as believable characters, I haven't actually read the novels so I don't know about the fidelity with the books.
I too appreciate that they made the Fremen brown in the new movies, but it's still odd to see Holywood's aversion towards arabic actors. Unless Fremen were meant to only carry over the beliefs and culture of muslim peoples from Earth in the books, and not their ethnicity. It is 20 000 years in the future, after all, and Dune is chiefly about humans evolving differently. There is one scene with orange lighting in the Dune Part II, so that's a nice touch, even if it's only one time. I agree that orange color makes Arrakis feel more alien. I feel like this scene making the Shai Hulud seem easier to ride actually works to the benefit of the story. You can see how and why Paul accomplishes the deed, while in the new one it looks like he does it out of pure luck and plot armor. Fremen in the old movie do feel like cardboard cutouts with no personality and seemingly no human logic, they are just units
I have a habit of doing the “mmmmm, Shai Hulud” When literally making a decision, especially for food. Like what do I want to eat? Tacos or hamburgers..mmmm - Hamburgers Hulud.🤣
Shame on David Lynch for disowning this flawed masterpiece. The cult following it has speaks for itself. Beyond the views of critics there is a real magic to be found in this movie.
Can anyone explain the soundtrack to me? Prior to this film, Frank Herbert notoriously told the band Iron Maiden to get bent when they approached him about writing a Dune homage to appear on their 1983 album, with Herbert's agents stating that Frank Herbert does not like rock bands. Yet this 1984 film features a rocking soundtrack by Toto, features Sting, and had a scene with Patrick Stewart playing some prog-rock on a Chapman Stick.
@@gudhaxer41343 It IS whatever I say, this scene is objectively superior to the remake in every facet, I rewatch this scene multiple times, the remake I saw once, was disgusted and have never returned to it once
I wonder who actually discovered you could ride a sandworm and what was going through his head when he attempted it. I can just imagine him telling his plan to the other Fremen and them going - bro wtf are you on about 😂
Frank Herbert: so then Paul taught the Fremen the Weirding Way... David Lynch: Oh cool, so that’s like some sort of laser gun, right? Frank Herbert: what no, it’s like martial ar- David Lynch: Disintegrating laser guns! I love it! You’re the best Frank!
Hol up, I thought the Weirding Module came to be as both Lynch & Herbert realized that doing it with a martial art would make Dune look like a 1970s esque "Kung Fu" film and neither wanted that? Seeing as how some of the effects in this look worse than Forbidden Planet's, a movie over 20 years older, IMO Lynch should get some props for realizing that he did not have access to the tech to attempt to make something approaching what we now know as The Matrix's bullet time.
@Howard Pearcey Would a slow-motion "Kung Fu" fight sequence have blown it for you? Maybe it is possible that just doing basic slow motion effects for the Weirding Way could have worked, as it would not have required any special effects with which the film already had enough issues, but would that have been good enough?
@Howard Pearcey How do you film the "Been a Jesuit", as RUclips's subtitles keep calling it, fighting style? From what fight sequences were in the film, I'm suspecting that Lynch would have needed to have hired a fight choreographer for any fancy fightin' scenes, and he was already bigly over budget. "Whole reason the Emperor went after Atriedes was due to the high level of training that put Atreides troops almost par with Sardaukar. " Seems kinda dumb TBH, Emperor could have just trained his own troops more. He too could have had access to the Bene Gesserit fighting style, right? Atriedes having some sort of wunderweapon seems a bit better, though I suppose the same argument could be made that the Emperor could have simply acquired that too. Which is why I thought the real reason behind the Emperor's power play was ultimately because the Guild willed it?
@Howard Pearcey The fight sequences in Dune are not particularly great, just there out of necessity, and IIRC at least one was cut from the theatrical release. Would an identifiable Japanese martial arts routine really have been seen as good enough? I'm thinking it might've been seen as a disappointment if the "Been a Jesuit" Weirding Way turned out to just be "space judo". The shielding wasn't all that well explained at all, and seems like a bit of a moot point as the shields were said to be worthless on Arrakis. The shield fight scene with Captain Picard is one of the most iconic (or infamous) scenes from Dune 1984 but it probably could have been cut out, as the Arabian robes that the Fremen wore thankfully were
Everyone says this movie was crap and an insult to the book. If they are talking about the original theatrical release, they are right. It's the studio exec's who are 100% to blame though. Claiming people would not watch a movie over 2 hrs long. Funny I'm pretty sure movies like Ben-Hur were longer than 2 hrs and very popular. The recut version that had and hour of extra footage shows just how great this movie actually was.
I watched this when it came out, having read the book a few years before Grand and epic, limited by effects but well conceived and directed I thought The story of Paul and the Spice was well told Not ‘Star Wars’ which harmed it I think, but tried to be true to the book Some of the worm scenes brilliantly epic
This film has erie similarities to today's world. Replace the spice mined with oil, many of the nouns are in Arabic (fedayeen) and it's the desert tribes against the west's need for oil.
@@hugmynutus Yes, I can see that - the extreme care for water. No living thing on earth can survive without water, we tend to forget that. Sadly, the power struggle between humans is deemed more important than the earth we all live on. That lack of care may come back to haunt us.

I also like how everyone walks with rhythm in their steps.
That thing is probably way heavier than 1000 tons.
Stilgar’s main role in this movie is to remind everyone how epic everything is.
So basically MC's sidekick

Or otherwise known as Exposure Captain 😳

This way the worm won’t submerge back into the sand & bury Paul with it. Naturally, it will arise higher to avoid sand from entering it’s exposed open parts (According to Frank Herbert).
So the worm never sunk again? Paul is too much of a cvnt to take the hook off the worm
@@pyromaniac709 Oh, the wound heals.
@@pyromaniac709as stated by frank. Met him he said so
The hook keeps the scale section propped up, when the Fremen are finished riding they remove the hook and I guess jump off or something.
Unfortunately it's lost in the new movie. Paul just runs and jumps on it like a superhero.
“Usul has crapped a big one. Again, it is the legend.”
“Stilgar, why you did you come into the bathroom stall with me?”
This film's great at showing the scale of the creature for 1984.
yea their around 400 meter long, with longer ones being reported in the south sooo obviously they make them fremen look like pixel in comparison.
Those lightning seems legit - dryness in the atmosphere and the worm rubbing against sand creates static electrical charge.
@@josephastier7421
The static charge has to REACH the worm first.
So ….essentially its like making out on the beach ⚡⚡⚡👌
Yes, the millions of microscopic dust & melange particles lifting into the air from the worm moving around on the desert surface aids in the lightning as well as just the friction alone. This is similar to lightning strikes that can be seen in the ash clouds of volcanic eruptions, such as the lightning seen when Mt St Helens blew. The static charge lightning is briefly mentioned in the novel, thus the Lynch version is justified showing this in his own interpretation. The Villeneuve 2021 version never showed the lightning iirc.

Clearly it was the dutch who first invaded Arrakis. How could they pass up the opportunity for spice like this?
spice is a paltry thing compared to 30,000 year old sandstone tetrahedrons built upon the boozed up labor of Giza slaves

“Bless the Maker and His water.
Bless the coming and going of Him.
May His passage cleanse the world.
May He keep the world for His people. ”

Twin Peaks came afterwards in 1990, I think? 🤔
Yeah and it's also filmed by Lynch 😂 It's an awesome cast!
I love that look in Paul's eyes when he looks at Stilgar riding the big worm. Yeah!
3:33 "Ed! Let"s go to Twin Peaks now and find who killed Laura Palmer!"
I absolutely love the 1984 version of DUNE. The new one's are awesome too. Even better in my opinion.
Hopefully the new one is a commercial succes and one day David Lynch will be able to look at his adaptaion with pride instead of shame.
David Lynch's film version is epic!!!

Nostalgic ... but not a good adaptation.
You don't conquer Shai-Hulud, you learn how to live with him. You exploit his tendencies for awhile, then you let him go on his way. It's the only way.
Some observations comparing this movie and the new one:
- One thing that I found absurd from this movie was that Fremen are extremely white. They have been living on that planet for thousands of years, yet seem to have lived in a cold environment with very little sun. That is one thing I do like from the new one, it's more realistic.
- The strong orange color grading in this one makes it feel more real to me, it really feels like a different planet.
- The pacing on this one makes the worm feel more majestic, like there is really a huuuge dimension to the creature. Though the new one makes it feel like there is real danger to mounting it, in this one it doesn't seem that hard.
- The characters are much better presentend on the new one, in this one the Fremen are too much eager to just get on with things and it feels a bit flat.
- The main failure of this movie is that it tries to pack too much in too little time, I would much rather watch the original 5 hour version (or even the 8 hour version).
>The characters are much better presentend on the new one
I thought it butchered or misrepresented a good chunk of the characters. Several felt like they were the characters in name only, or that they were simplified or Flanderised versions of their book counterparts. Hell, it even fabricated a lot of the interpersonal conflict while removing scenes of conflict that were actually in the original story.
@@tjames4597 Fair enough. Though I meant "presented" in a general way as believable characters, I haven't actually read the novels so I don't know about the fidelity with the books.
I too appreciate that they made the Fremen brown in the new movies, but it's still odd to see Holywood's aversion towards arabic actors. Unless Fremen were meant to only carry over the beliefs and culture of muslim peoples from Earth in the books, and not their ethnicity. It is 20 000 years in the future, after all, and Dune is chiefly about humans evolving differently.
There is one scene with orange lighting in the Dune Part II, so that's a nice touch, even if it's only one time. I agree that orange color makes Arrakis feel more alien.
I feel like this scene making the Shai Hulud seem easier to ride actually works to the benefit of the story. You can see how and why Paul accomplishes the deed, while in the new one it looks like he does it out of pure luck and plot armor.
Fremen in the old movie do feel like cardboard cutouts with no personality and seemingly no human logic, they are just units
The new dune movie will never be as good as this one
The forgotten classic. Epic!!!!!
Everyone needs a bro like Stilgar.
I have a habit of doing the “mmmmm, Shai Hulud” When literally making a decision, especially for food. Like what do I want to eat? Tacos or hamburgers..mmmm - Hamburgers Hulud.🤣
*He has ridden the mighty moonworm!*
* Thunderous applause *
That soundtrack wow
That’s an amazing shot 0:24 & 0:42
This scene looks cool even today.

We must get the Spice! The Spice Melange! We must go to Tom Brady!

Shame on David Lynch for disowning this flawed masterpiece. The cult following it has speaks for itself. Beyond the views of critics there is a real magic to be found in this movie.
The studios stiffled with his decisions
@@meethindocha1824 Yeah, they fucked with him badly.
Usul has called a big one! For some reason, the grade school boy in me cracked up at this.
Still a great movie. Love this and the new DUNE.
I got to see this and 2010 a space oddyssey at the same night in the same theater.. I smokekd a joint in the restroom between movies!..fuckin awesome
Can anyone explain the soundtrack to me?
Prior to this film, Frank Herbert notoriously told the band Iron Maiden to get bent when they approached him about writing a Dune homage to appear on their 1983 album, with Herbert's agents stating that Frank Herbert does not like rock bands.
Yet this 1984 film features a rocking soundtrack by Toto, features Sting, and had a scene with Patrick Stewart playing some prog-rock on a Chapman Stick.
He took the spice
3:55 this part always gives me goosebumps
The bad acting?
Good man Usul you're a credit to your old man
The Toto score makes this so epic.
Who's here after the seeing the new scene?
The new is so lame and forgettable next to this

Villeneuve's film is going to be at Venice FIlm Fest. I love this 1984 film by Lynch but it will be exciting to see another take.
This is how I get to work each morning
I wonder who actually discovered you could ride a sandworm and what was going through his head when he attempted it.
I can just imagine him telling his plan to the other Fremen and them going - bro wtf are you on about 😂
Aunque la película tiene algunas fallas graves, en general es muy disfrutable de ver y mas sabiendo que se grabo en mi país México 🇲🇽❤
There's a lot to be said about this film and some of it good. 😊
I need these weapons of the future in my collection.
ya would be the richest fisherman in the world
Shai hulud?
such a beautiful scene
Frank Herbert: so then Paul taught the Fremen the Weirding Way...
David Lynch: Oh cool, so that’s like some sort of laser gun, right?
Frank Herbert: what no, it’s like martial ar-
David Lynch: Disintegrating laser guns! I love it! You’re the best Frank!
Hol up, I thought the Weirding Module came to be as both Lynch & Herbert realized that doing it with a martial art would make Dune look like a 1970s esque "Kung Fu" film and neither wanted that?
Seeing as how some of the effects in this look worse than Forbidden Planet's, a movie over 20 years older, IMO Lynch should get some props for realizing that he did not have access to the tech to attempt to make something approaching what we now know as The Matrix's bullet time.
@Howard Pearcey Would a slow-motion "Kung Fu" fight sequence have blown it for you?
Maybe it is possible that just doing basic slow motion effects for the Weirding Way could have worked, as it would not have required any special effects with which the film already had enough issues, but would that have been good enough?
@Howard Pearcey How do you film the "Been a Jesuit", as RUclips's subtitles keep calling it, fighting style?
From what fight sequences were in the film, I'm suspecting that Lynch would have needed to have hired a fight choreographer for any fancy fightin' scenes, and he was already bigly over budget.
"Whole reason the Emperor went after Atriedes was due to the high level of training that put Atreides troops almost par with Sardaukar. "
Seems kinda dumb TBH, Emperor could have just trained his own troops more. He too could have had access to the Bene Gesserit fighting style, right? Atriedes having some sort of wunderweapon seems a bit better, though I suppose the same argument could be made that the Emperor could have simply acquired that too.
Which is why I thought the real reason behind the Emperor's power play was ultimately because the Guild willed it?
@Howard Pearcey Doesn't holtzman shield deflect projectiles and detonates from energy weapons? Would that work with sonic weapons that they are using?
@Howard Pearcey The fight sequences in Dune are not particularly great, just there out of necessity, and IIRC at least one was cut from the theatrical release.
Would an identifiable Japanese martial arts routine really have been seen as good enough? I'm thinking it might've been seen as a disappointment if the "Been a Jesuit" Weirding Way turned out to just be "space judo".
The shielding wasn't all that well explained at all, and seems like a bit of a moot point as the shields were said to be worthless on Arrakis. The shield fight scene with Captain Picard is one of the most iconic (or infamous) scenes from Dune 1984 but it probably could have been cut out, as the Arabian robes that the Fremen wore thankfully were
Good god the HD Quality... it's beautiful ^_^
Everyone says this movie was crap and an insult to the book.
If they are talking about the original theatrical release, they are right.
It's the studio exec's who are 100% to blame though. Claiming people would not watch a movie over 2 hrs long. Funny I'm pretty sure movies like Ben-Hur were longer than 2 hrs and very popular.
The recut version that had and hour of extra footage shows just how great this movie actually was.
Dune (the book) is where I learned the words "fedayeen" and "jihad".
Hoàng Nguyên “Jihad” literally means “struggle.” Until Wahhabism came around it mainly referred to internal, spiritual strife.
@@srbrant5391 _sharia_ is a *lot* older than Wahhabism, and _jihad_ is how Islam spread as far as the Indus Valley and Iberian Penisula.
I watched this when it came out, having read the book a few years before
Grand and epic, limited by effects but well conceived and directed I thought
The story of Paul and the Spice was well told
Not ‘Star Wars’ which harmed it I think, but tried to be true to the book
Some of the worm scenes brilliantly epic
God, I love this movie.
I think the words "completely fucking weird" has never more accurately described a movie 😂
A friend of mine said that a few years ago, where I had to DRAG him to a theater showing of it.
One of my favourites of all time 👍
We need 10 episode to cover this for remake
1:19 I legit thought the sand liquification was only a thing in Dune 2021
If the Dune (2020) movie doesn't have that amazing guitar riff during the Shai-Hulud scene then it automatically sucks!
This film has erie similarities to today's world. Replace the spice mined with oil, many of the nouns are in Arabic (fedayeen) and it's the desert tribes against the west's need for oil.
Frank Herbert was a dedicated environmentalist, this was no mistake
@@hugmynutus Yes, I can see that - the extreme care for water. No living thing on earth can survive without water, we tend to forget that. Sadly, the power struggle between humans is deemed more important than the earth we all live on. That lack of care may come back to haunt us.
If the worm comes from another direction, those fremen are dead
the oldschool Stilgar looks like someone dropped an anvil on his face
