Galactica 1980 Redux - Attack on Earth
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Galactica 1980 Redux is a fan edit of Galactica 1980. It removes Dr. Zee, removes the powers of the Super Scouts, and cuts out the worst of the bad dialogue.
It's extremely hard to find, but I highly recommend trying to find it. It actually makes Galactica 1980..."tolerable".
In this clip, this is an edited version of the attack on Earth. It includes scenes done by David Kerin, which I understand were used with permission.
The Redux episodes redid every episode of Galactica 1980 except for Return of Lt. Starbuck, the creator saying that David Kerin's edit couldn't be improved on.
This episode, originally called "Galactica Finds Earth," was renamed in the Redux version "The Thirteenth Tribe". It uses the Season 1 title graphics and music. Somehow that actually helps make it feel more legitimate. :)

Those wretched cylons destroying the corner newsstand. I couldn't bear to think how many issues of 1980 Playboy magazines were burned in that barbarous attack.
And National Inquirers! Don't forget those!!!
Don't forget Cherry and OUI,😎
Damn, where's dirty old George gonna get his skin magazines from now?
SEE he said NINE planets!
Go Pluto!
Came here to say that.
Clearly the The Twelve Colonies know what's what.
@ricks_talented_tongue In my heart , if nothing else!
Lorne Green said it, it must be so!
“These special effects aren’t so special” - Butthead. I was 12 years old when this show first came on, loved it, and actually had the toy Viper that they discontinued with the plastic “bullets” that fired and were a choking hazard.
We had the best toys back then! Lawn darts, chemistry sets. When men were men. And children were men too! 😂
I had one of those too. I remembered when they switched them out for versions whereby the plastic bullet just moved forward a bit instead of coming off the front the the Viper.
usually they got lost anyway
What amateurs. Every respectiable alien knows that if you attack Los Angeles the first thing you take out is the Hollywood sign.
Hollywood is already under alien control.
Aliens really hate the Capitol Records building though.
LOL
Exactly and the damn freeways our as we call them parking lots
I was amazed they Cylons couldn't hit any cars.
The Cylons ability to hit humans is matched only by Stormtroopers.
Nah Stormtroopers are deadly if you are not main character protected by plot armor.
Good thing Starbuck joined The A Team.
Yeah, but then to discover one of the Cylons had defected and found a job at Universal Studios!
Yea he saved face
Face's Corvette had a slight Viper look to it.
Had this been the 24th Century, Starfleet would have been Ready.
La flota estelar habría destrozado a los Cylons
And Picard would have led efforts to negotiate with the Cylons. They will meet for a treaty signing near some old moon, and back in San Fran they will have a big celebration with a giant "PEACE" sign.
Data would have been sympathetic with their cause--"Having dealt with humans for so long, I totally understand their desire to wipe them out. And having been the target of a plot-inconsistent effort to disassemble me, I won't support disassembling them. Dropping shields... [Picard's voice] Computer, initiate Transporter Program Data1: Destination: The Cylon bridge. And then lock out all Enterprise controls: Password: sdjfsdfsd7d77fs77fsd77fssds&&Dfdsshjie!. Engage."
Then the Romulans would show up to save Earth, as they don't mess with silly negotiations or allow androids in command positions. And the people of Earth say goodbye to all that democracy and stuff, and welcome rule by the Romulan Star Empire. "If only we'd allowed the veterans to seize control, and set up a Citizen's Federation." ... Oops. Jumped universes.
Starfleet would have had a little trouble with the raiders. The raiders lasers couldn't do much to the shields but the starships would have a problem destroying the raiders. The raiders would be more maneuverable and doge the phasers or photon torpedoes. The bas4e stars would be easier to destroy. They would need to launch the attack sleds to destroy the raiders.
But Starfleet has not only long-range detection but also warp technology, neither of which the Cylons have. The Cylons would be picked up long before they even reached Earth, probably even before they hit the solar system. And once their hostile intentions are confirmed, Starfleet would be all over them like white on rice. The raiders might prove a problem against Federation cruisers, but not much of one and not for long, with ship after ship suddenly turning up out of nowhere to join the fight. Meanwhile, the unshielded base ships would be cut to pieces by the fleet. Patrick MacCylon would almost certainly find his "final annihilation of the lifeform known as Man" proclamation premature, to say the least.
When we put warning labels on bags of peanuts that they may contain peanuts, we showed that we deserved this.
No. The moment we deserved this was when anxiety medication lists "anxiety" as a side effect.
Yea
My coffee maker says do not use in shower...
@@sarahwolf6754 Nah, that was when microwave instructions finally warned against using them as cat dryers.
This comment column reminds me of when "The Funniest Man in America" comedian James Gregory did a spiel about ridiculous warning labels on products.
One was about how cans of shaving cream now had a warning label that said, "Keep away from open flame."
He said, "Do you know what this means? Sometime in the past, some nut has said to his wife, 'Honey, I think I'm gonna go sit in the fireplace to shave.'"
Or the new warning on a tube of Preparation H. "Use only as directed."
"Do you know what this means? Some nut has said to his wife, 'Honey, I wonder how this would taste on crackers?'" 😂
They're all in the James Gregory playlist below if you want to have a good laugh.

I love that scene. “Okay, everyone, our technical team has put together this terrifying video to show you what could hypothetically happen if we land on Earth.”
I'm disappointed there was no followup where Count Iblis appears to make a copyright claim for using stock footage with his voice.
Reality now is even worse
And there's Adama in the audience pretending to be surprised.
@@zephyr8072 He'd licensed it to the Cylons a thousand years prior.
@@zephyr8072
That's not Count Iblis it's the Cylons Imperious leader. Patrick Macknee played both. These Cylons were supposedly 100% mechanical.
I love this sequence in its original form. I didn't know they superimposed Cylon effects over footage from Universal's disaster film "Earthquake" (which also featured Lorne Greene...🤩) & It looked pretty neato!
These fan kitbashes using off the shelf special effect programs, though, they're really special!. Throwing in stuff from "The Day After", were, just *chef's kiss*!....🤩
Yeah, I love The Day After sequences!
A masterclass in the reuse of footage. A 7 minute scene with maybe 2 minutes of new footage.
As a fan of the 70's disaster movie "Earthquake", where most of the footage is from, I was very excited the first time I saw this sequence. Always loved that you could superimpose spaceships, remove the shake, and get a convincing Cylon attack using footage of an earthquake - a fake looking one at that! (But the low budget was a repeated theme on Galactica 1980.)
Universal Studios never lets any film go to waste! 😁
@@transitfan954 Indeed! The failure of the Hollywood Reservoir Damn and subsequent flooding from the movie Earthquake was also used for the flood sequence in Damnation Alley.
If you grew up watching 70's Universal movie FX in the 70's, you got to watch them again in the 80's in completely different movies.
I'm sure at least some of the footage here was from "The Day After".
Oh yes, Battlestar Galactica loved a bit of stock footage
Adama: "Alright, now show the video of what would happen if I went insane and dumped our people on a primitive Earth while flying the Galactica and all our other ships into the sun."
Dr. Zee: "Wait. _What?"_
Cylon raider weapons can take out BattleStars and civilian starships but they don't even put potholes in tarmac roads?
I guess Cylon weapons contracts are always won by the lowest bidder as well. 😛
Yeah, thatxwas my reaction. Apparently those lasers are reduced to .30 caliber or 7-8 mm machineguns by the atmosphere.
The new Toyota Raider one-seater was defective! 🤣
Lorne Greene was known as "The Voice Of Doom" when he anchored the news for CBC radio during World War 2.
Couldn’t have happened in a better city.
Well you know it’s always going to happen in LA area even today it’s a waste land
Wish it was the state of Florida or Texas
To bad the Cylons didn't cut the enire state off the back end of this country. They would have done us a huge favor.
@@TexasDog3 Besides the obvious is less expensive to film in Hollywood for this TV show clip and other SciFi movies, do you really believe the US could afford to lose the World’s 5th largest economy? CA pays in Taxes 15% of individual taxes of the national total $100 billion more than 3rd place TX. CA produces 13% of the US GDP while Texas is a distance 2nd Place. Texas doesn’t produce 1/2 of the world’s almonds most of the world’s iceberg lettuce, more Peaches than the other States combined, more dairy products than the dairy State. And for businesses, which other State would Texas go to hat in hand to sell them on moving to Texas if California became an independent country? But we don’t hate Texas or your stupid Governor, who is as dumb as a sack of hammers, his current border stops rerouted shipments from Mexico for agricultural imports that has increased jobs and income for the state. It’s hurt Texas truckers and cost jobs in Texas, possibly some Californians will start a charity if the absurdity continues after the election. Then again, as far as Texas is concerned, You can’t fix stupid. Enjoy your electric grid…
Based on this line of thought, we are our own worst enemy. We (you) glorify the destruction of a human city knowing that only a few humans (in this reality) are left.
Petty divisions and squabbles are the order of the day. Makes me wonder if we deserve to survive.

Can’t really fault them for attacking the newsstand. They saw where journalism was going, even back then.
Best comment 🎉
Definitely best comment here
Just LOVE the Cylon Raider!! I've got the Viper and the Raider hanging in my studio. If I couldn't own a TIE Defender, then I'll take the Raider.
When it comes to strafing the streets, the Cylons are lousy shots.
They studied at the Storm Trooper school of marksmanship.
@@tonyrome655 My feelings exactly!
They never did clean the smudge off of the canopy of that Viper.
I thought I was the only person who wondered about that.
Very nicely done,great use of existing footage
Well...
As long as the Cylons are using green technology, their actions can be overlooked.
So like this never happened, The Reptiles guys from V got to earth before the Galactica.
Joe Biden is a cylon....just sayin'
@@druunderwood5602 Actually the Galactica arrived before V. Galactica was 1980, and V was 1983 and 1984.
@@josephhinkofer9516 I know but its a great idea,
The Reptiles are the last of the original Cylons, Plot twist.
@Timothy Mckee I wonder when David Icke was going to get here, Iv seen V You're Not Fooling Anyone.
Back in the day when the Sol System had 9 planets.
Of course, this was before Pluto was re-classified as a "dwarf planet".
Loved this show. Can remember watching it every Sunday night. Just put my Hallmark Cylon Figure on my Christmas Tree. I have to press the play button about every other day to here it talk. Oh! The MEMORIES!
Putting the Imperous Leader in scene before the cylons attack earth makes the scene even better.
Yeah, it does!
I noticed blueprints of the baseship and a Battlestar on the wall of the leader's chamber, which I think is a nice touch!
"So, NOW what do you think, cousin oliver?!"
Interestingly enough, there was a separate VHS tape called 'Galactica Discovers Earth.' It was essentially a mishmash of the pilot and the episode where Cylons crashed on Earth. Since Dr. Zee was played by two different actors, they made it appear as if there were two of them.
You mean "Conquest of the Earth."
@@dalethelander3781 Yes, I sit corrected.
Oddly, there was a line in that version where the Cylon says 'Robots are not new to Earth'... which seems odd, considering the Cylons knew nothing of Earth. The line isn't in the original episode.
Remember, this was in the 1980s. It would be sixteen years before Jeff Goldblum would have the wicked computer skills to make the "toasters" toast. But on the serious side, while bad, the series "Galactica 1980" did introduce the idea of Cylon "skinjobs", and the fatal flaw to the Centurion models. Armed with the fact that the Centurions are susceptible to microwave radiation, all the Earth would have had to do was turn all of it's microwave transmitters skyward at full power, problem solved, Galactica makes First Contact.
Ironically, Jeff Goldblum had a show, debuting after this. Like this, it only lasted one season. It was called "Tenspeed and Brownshoe".
Thing is... the Cylons did reach Earth (two specifically), and that Centurian took a short walk of a tall building.
Knight Industries found that Centurian, retro-engineered it and made first KARR and then KITT. It fits.
I presue the human form commander just got up and walked away or something like that.
And don't forget about Season 2 of Buck Rogers with the Robot Creighton(sp?) that had the Cylon Eye as well.
@@josephhinkofer9516 I remember Crichton's optical sensor, it didn't have the Larson sweep as far as I remember. Crichton was named after The Admirable Crichton, the title character in the J.M. Barrie play of that name.
So that's why John disguised himself as Devon. To keep an eye on things.
Very nice Knight Rider tie in!
Nice touch that they showed what happened differently in this than they did in the original pilot episode for Galactica 1980:
Showing scenes from the pilot episode of Battlestar Galactica
From the movies:
Earthquake
The Day After
Meteor
Godzilla:Final Wars
and I think they might've had some scenes from Terminator in there too.
some great cuts with Threads and The Day After in there! Well done!
I don't think Threads was in there. I think it was all Day After.
@@sarahwolf6754 ah ok.
And 1978's "Meteor" - a splinter hit New York skyscrapers after they launched the missiles from Hercules and Peter the Great.
Or “Earthquake”….
GALACTICA 1980 was a project that was doomed from the start. Stars Kent McCord and Barry Van Dyke lacked Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict's dramatic punch, and the teleplays generally lacked the action, drama and suspense of the original.
This scene at the 4:45 mark showing 2 base ships with a dreadnaught, and again of them firing energy beams at Earth at the 5:10 to 5:27 mark, are new to me . . . I thought I've seen every episode at least 3 times (and I have all the DVDs), but basically, from 4:45 to 5:27 it's the first time I've ever seen this! Wow! Great job!
the scene at 5:27 is from the day after
@@ihl8608 Now that you mention it, I recognise part of that movie here. The one with John Lithgow at a university.
@@wonniewarrior Dr Lazardo was in cahoots with the Cylons?
@@fmlazar Well he was a Alien commander in a documentary called '3rd rock from the sun'
@@wonniewarrior yes, he was the ‘Alien High Commander’! 😄
This is a great edit! 👍👍
I like the masking backdrop of the earth. The additions of the nuke attack very well done
The nuke footage is from the movie The Day After.
Wow that was intense, extremely nice job thumbs way up!
The Cylons ain't nothing, Los Angeles took more damage from the Rodney King Riots.
Cylons in new BSG: This is taking too long. Let's use nukes.
Strictly speaking, mega pulsars (the giant blue beam fired by Cylon basestars) are far more potent than nukes.
It would have been so cool to see the American Military of the early 80s try to fight the Cylons !
I would have loved to seen F-15s and F-106s going up against Cylon Raiders !!!
Given their apparent lack of ability to dogfight, the Cylons would not have fared well... at least until they headed back to space.
In the book Battlestar Galactica 1980, one Cylon fighter was sent to deal with the American fighters.
You have to remember, the Cylons have used faster than light travel for thousands of years.
Compare that with supersonic or jet flight which has been used only on earth for fifty or sixty years?
@@siatelecomsltdLondon true but they would be finding themselves to working in the atmosphere of a planet which changes for physics in favor of Earthbound Fighters .
@@bellvnv2000 Do you remember the time travelling movie called, The Final Count down. When the modern super sonic 1980s American fighters, destroyed the slower moving early 1940s Japanese fighters planes?
We are talking about a very similar situation happening here.
The only difference is that if a situation like this was to happen for real, those Cylon fighters would appear as nothing but a blur, because they would be moving so rediculously fast.
In the book, when Troy and Dillon entered US airspace and were challenged by American fighters, they kicked in their turbos and they ended up thousands of miles away.
The television adaptation told a very different story unfortunately. ☹☹☹☹
@@siatelecomsltdLondon you know what , any thing you want , "you're right" .
Nothing I can do to convince you of my argument about this fictitious scenario but obviously it matters that much to you .
Every time i see the newspaper kiosk destroyed (here at 01.55) i think "Yeah you got that coming Fake News!"
Disgrace how ABC put half the budget into Galactica 1980 and slapped the Battlestar logo on it.
When I first watched Gal1980 back in the day, I was delighted to see Richard Lynch among the cast. I was hoping he would bring up the quality of the show.
He was in the episode that was filming when the cancellation order came down, "The Day They Kidnapped Cleopatra," which was halted and never finished.
How'd that work out for you? The show was so bad ABC cancelled it after only 10 episodes.
He was a good actor.
@@jeffburnham6611 Kent McCord and Barry Van Dyke are fine actors, but they certainly weren't Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict. The teleplays generally lacked the action, drama and suspense the original version had.
@@allenjones3130 Barry unfortunately has the distinction of being in two continuation versions of popular shows that were just terrible ie Galactica 1980 and Airwolf Season 4.
Was it necessary to take out the VW Beetle at 3:23. I really could have used those parts.
Wow!,,,You made it way more impactful than simply the Cylon fighters attacking Los Angeles in the original television version.
Most excellent. It's been a long time since I've seen this on RUclips... Like 2014 maybe lol
I've got the entire Redux collection. It's a really interesting edit of the series.
@@sarahwolf6754 very nice! How might one acquire the Kerlin redux edits?
@@richardched6085 The David Kerin edits are only for Battlestar Galactica. (Except for Return of Lt. Starbuck.) The Redux edits are only for Galactica 1980.
For either one, I don't know where to find them currently.
I was looking for his last fan edit ‘The Promised Land’ but that seems the be gone now along with the others he had done.
The Promised Land and Greetings From Earth are the only one of his edits I don’t have.
Great use of stock footage for a bad series. I remember watching this in the 80’s. So glad the series was resurrected and given a proper send off.
The original opening episode of Galactica 1980 did not have all this. It did use scenes from the 1974 movie "Earthquake" and added Cylon ships and their laser bolts causing buildings to fall apart. This mix adds scenes from "The Day After" and - I think - "Meteor" (1978) (when a splinter hits New York), and includes scenes from the beginning of the original series (Saga of a Star World).
Those nuclear scenes look like it was borrowed from the tv series The Day After.
They were.
01:53
Damn, this news stand must have had some secret, strategic advantage to be important enough to get attacked by the first wave of cylons.
“9 Planets”, when they considered Pluto a planet.
And they do again.
I never seen more than one show.I was in the high mountains when this came on.
This is bloody brilliant !
great job on this project, I really enjoyed the additions you put in. They blended very well. did you do it for school?
I love the power they give the baseships. Independence day before Independence day.
Gotta say, this is pretty well done and quite macabre!
The crew of the glactica watching the attack: “well their aim hasn’t got any better!”
At 4:00, its the Valley Forge from Silent Running, nice!
Indeed, as the Valley Forge spacecraft model and the forrest/garden set was reused in the series...
Significantly, in the episodes ‘War of the Gods’.
I love how they use thr movie The Day After and the movie Earthquake to show their attack
You beat me to it. 😁
"Its proximity to the sun provides the only climate in the galaxy comfortably provide life as we know it." Seems to hold true even today.
Thanks for Posting This Incredible Video, Sarah
I know everyone seems to hate them, but I always loved the look of the Cylon Raiders in their first iteration; the cool tiered cockpits, with the three-man crew, the guns in the side openings, the intake manifolds underneath that line up with the engine thrusters, etc... I like the second variant of these even more, very similar, but a bit sleeker, more refined, as seen in 'Blood and Chrome'... The last version (of sorts) in the re-imagining of BG is pretty cool, I guess, for what it is, but they're just too...I dunno, long, pointy-winged, almost like they're imitating the cherubim atop the Ark of the Covenant, y'know? Anyway, cool video, neat idea!
I thought the classic Cylon raiders were cool, but they were too big to be maneuverable. They were more like bombers than fighters. Which probably explains why the colonials were always able to fly better and the Cylons relied on numbers.
I didn't like the G80 version as it just doubled down on the bulky, impractical size.
The nuGal Cylon raiders were okay. Maybe I didn't like them so much because they were just a ripoff design from the old Wing Commander game on the PC.
Ah, wrong most hate the re imagined Batman batarang looking raiders😂the originals are so much better, copied by many future sci fi movies and TV like in Stargate series sg1 ,Atlantis some shows and many movies.
They used generous portions of footage from Universal’s 1974 movie Earthquake in this movie (not to mention footage that was used in the Day After as well).
You think the cylon raiders hit Harvy Weinstein's house?
Up Yours!! and its Harvey with an 'e' .
Hmmm very extremely interesting they actually put Battlestar Galactica of 1978-1979 and also Battlestar Galactica 1980 with Day After of atomic weapons being used in 1983 altogether.
No way a laser would take out a news paper stand, their build really tough
"their build?"
That's the Cylon's attack on Fake News.
9 planets? Rip Pluto..lol
Who knew the Cylons were just taking out the pedophile lizards?
Except... they aren't attacking Mar-a-lago...
The authors of the Sten series of 8 books, Alan Cole and Chris Bunch, were Galactica 1980’s story editors.
Wow! I didn't realize we used such great pavement in the 70s! The Cylons could take down whole buildings with a single shot, but they couldn't even damage our pavement! 😂
Wait until they land on earth and find out that we both have the same office chairs.
This looks like parts of a old movie called Earthquake with Charlton Heston. and another movie the day after.
Glen Larson used footage from Earthquake and optically printed Cylon Raiders over it.
Wow, you are just so amazing to know that. Next, maybe you can tell us that the sky is blue.
Surprising amount of flammables on those ships.
I forgotten how much fun is was to watch the cylons blow up LA. :)
I love how they screwed up scale and perspective on the city attack shots - a raider is a three-seat aerospace craft, yet at one point they have one the size of a compact car strafing a city street.
I love how the cylon fighters shrink down to the size of cars when strafing the streets the air force has nothing over these guys
Nice video, far better than what Galactica 1980 managed to do. I have always imagined that Base Stars had the power to launch devastating orbital attacks to destroy cities. As a child, i never could accept that a bunch of Cylon Raiders could destroy the populations and infrastructure so completely of 12 entire planets. I always imagine there being some big orbital attacks that we did not see. Also, rememver in deleted scenes of Cylons launching bombs that contaminated food and caused cellular degeneration in those who consumed it. This is why Serena dies originally before they changed it.
I have a suggestion, though. Just get rid of the wrap around plot of them watching a what if scenario. Have this be the real outcome. Galactica finds Earth, everyone dies. The end! That is more merciful than Galactica 1980!
P.S. Gotta love those one-man mini Cylon Raiders that are the size of a Toyota and fire tiny little lasers that make sparks fly up on city highways! 🤣
I like how there's a major attack on LA and people are running for their lives, and the drivers are like "meh, let's keep driving. traffic finally cleared up"
Considering the fact that CGI, was apart of Battlestar Galactica. I just want you to know that what you did, was amazing .
I can't claim credit for making that. I'm just posting it.
That would be cool if they had put all that in Galactica 1980. I think their ratings would go up
Funnily enough most of the footage is from Earthquake which also starred Lorne Greene. Plus the nuclear blast scenes come from The Day After..
"Only imperial storm-troopers are so precise." 😉
is the destruction of Earth, from the movie The Day After ? independent day movie destruction
of earth would work too.
It either came from the movie Earthquake, which Galactica 1980 used, or The Day After. Some of David Kerin's work is in there as well. I don't know what he used.
Most of the stock footage presented here is indeed from the ABC production THE DAY AFTER. Good use of this footage too.
Wow they even got to see the cylons talk to their leader
What is exactly on the cylon leaders head? Its look like soul glow.
Nice melding of scenes from "Earthquake" and "The Day After."
Good eye. Everything about Galatica 1980 was C H E A P. That's the only way he got a second season. From Mike Brady to Kawasaki Ninjas with extra fairings to officer Reed as protagonist.
The Starbuck, enemy mine episode of Mormon mythology of the starchild from celestial Eve was the only good episode that year.
@@STho205 Robert Reed was actually good in this. I was surprised.
The Starbuck episode was originally planned for the first season. Explains why it is so good in this sea of muck.
@@sarahwolf6754 Robert Reed was a very basic good actor. See "The Defenders 60-65" and "Mannix 68-70". He got type cast due to Mike Brady as he got a bit goofier and charactured as the series went on.
He did a good Movie of the Week with Shatner and some other name actors for men in a mid life bucket list desert motorcycle trip. Then he did "Medical Center" as a transsexual surgeon....and that was about it for his career till Larson hired him for this.
@@sarahwolf6754 I think they filmed the Starchild Enemy Mine episode the year before, UT didn't have it edit or post production ready.
They tied it into the Cousin Oliver character backstory in G 1980.
I remember when Mr. Man thought he could push Picard and Riker around and make off with that ancient Vulcan weapon. It didn’t work out real well for him🖖
I recognize scenes from “Earthquake” which also starred Loren Greene
Nice video, I miss the TV series from the 80s , I was in Mexico back then
Had forgotten Richard Lynch as Commander Xavier. He was also in Gun on ice planet Zero
With all those fan edits around I'm surprised that no one has made the perfect mashup of this with Maverick and the boys responding from Miramar and some spliced-in scenes from Independence Day.
They have.
To think I once thought this the best sci fy around. The rehash after rehash. At least the producers learnt
My biggest issue with the first series is just how far they can story tell with the same amount of stock-footage used in almost every episode. Clearly that wasn't enough so, Earth Quake, and now Day after Tomorrow... It also shows how inconsistent the Cylons attacking. A direct hit from a Raider is enough to precisely destroy a newstand... And also cause earth quakes! But, no sometimes just kick up dirt on a city street like a 9mm... Oh they can nuke cities from space too?
Thank the Gods Ronald D Moore came along and fixed it. Sorry.
Cylon raider: Less firepower than an A-10 Warthog xD
Poor LA, the Cylons attack and there is a massive earthquake at the same time.
Wow, the lasers raining on the pavement are nicely done, very realistic.
We had the best pavement back then. Cylon proof!
I liked this series much better than the later reboot. It was sometimes pretty campy and cheesy. But i liked the ships and the cylon characters. Men in costumes not CGI.
Guess they didn't see the later movie " Independence Day". Where we will not go quietly Into the Night.
Where all human raise up as one to fight for survival.
The question would be where is the military at?
5:30
Thats from movie Day After (1983).
They wouldn't have counted Pluto as a planet for sure.
Una serie que JAMÁS debió existir.
Were they watching Galactica 1980 or Earthquake.
They send a small group of reps to surprise meet a US Congress critter because they are easiest to talk to.
He introduces them to higher ups.
They then work with the US and British Military to MASS, and I mean MASS produce vipers, as in 50k of them, secretly.
Train men who are already pilots to fly them.
When everything is ready, goad the Cylons into attacking.
Perhaps even create boarding parties to invade the Cylon ships.
Would take at least a year to do, but it would be doable.
That atomic bomb scene from the Day Aflter looked like it was spliced in. Very effective scenes for being in the early 80s.
Really? You don't say.
