Nice flashback. The music of E.L.O , YES and other bands in electro pop was very popular with us teens around 1986. Fun back and forth. Always liked this movie. 2👍's up.
Only aviation geeks, and especially military aviation geeks, truly appreciate those amazing old aircraft. There are very few airworthy Great War planes left now. No CGI back in the 80s either. Amazing flying and awesome stunts.
LOL, Non of the Aircraft that were flying in this were from the Great War era. Both Biggles plane (Stampe-Vertongen SV.4) and that of his adversary (Boeing-Stearman Model 75) were 1930s designs. In a related note: I was amused to find out, that British Biggles flew a plane from Belgium and the German one from America 😄
This movie just used the the name Biggles but failed to capture the essence. Nice to watch but not worthy of a sequel or much more. I love time travel stories, this one is OK but that's all. Probably didn't do much for the actors careers.
".....get us out of here before they start to realise you're not a god, you're just an American"! Not heard that classic line in years! Thanks for the chuckle!
This move was a big deal in the UK (at least) in 1986 ... Did well as well and a good afterlife on video. Kind of dropped off the radar after that, but appears a lot on YT. - Thanks for uploading this Hi-Def version. It's appreciated.
@@sergiocampanale3882 - for sure. Sometimes there's logic behind a flop, and sometimes it's poor marketing or just bad timing. And I've always been in two minds about Biggles! (About why it did the minimal business it did and whether I like it!)
@@zeeox It tried ... Tried at what, one cannot say, but it definitely tried. Well, I enjoyed and still do ... Would be a good double bill with 'Warlock" (another film of that era I still love) if nothing else. - And if you're still stuck, just take a leaf from Zen - "Biggles is Biggles. The rest is whatever you make of it.
@@sergiocampanale3882 - I remember the Blue Peter episode about it just before it came out and I also got the game for my Amstrad for free on a magazine cover tape (it had a decent rendition of the Jon Anderson 'Do You Want To Be A Hero' tune and a very hard last level where you had to destroy the sound machine!), but I never saw it in the cinema or really overlapped with the original comics. And yes, I have some love for it despite its very 80s vibes not ageing it well (imho). I also enjoyed Warlock (another odd time-shifting, and genre busting, film like Biggles in away), but only quite a bit later in the 90s when I was old enough to be able to rent VHS cassettes from the Library!
Had completely forgotten about this movie. Saw it in the theater bag in the day and really likes it. Even bought the soundtrack on LP. Thanks for uploading. 😀
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie ~ I discovered it because I was searching for music by Jon Anderson and found his soundtrack songs. Biggles sounded so intriguing I tracked it down and watched your upload! Thank you for the lovely quality of this movie. It's very cute, a lot of fun, a genuine adventure with appealing stars and great music, of course!
Yeah, my fav time travel book is "Lest Darkness Fall". A modern archeologist is standing and Rome, gets hits by lightning. Suddenly he's back in Rome, near the end of the Empire. First he invents brandy, then teaches double entry bookkeeping, and goes on to save the Roman Empire. The reason it's special to me is that it was written just before WW 2. I think "Lest Darkness Fall" has a double meaning here. Hard, scary time.
😄, Me to, so I was very disappointed to find out, that there isn't really an amazing apartment up there and that those bits were filmed somewhere else.
Ha cool seeing this again for the first time in 30+ years.. loved it as a kid, it was my VHS of choice st the Video store for the school holidays - the WW1 flight scenes are still kick Ass lol.
Remembered seeing the trailer as a kid and thought about it often after the age of 11 when I saw it. Never remembered the title sadly. Now 50 and I just stumbled upon it by accident. GoodBadFlicks has good details on it for those interested. Gonna enjoy it now after the long wait.
"We're going to fight sound with sound old boy. Put that microphone on the speaker" The Germans would never think of that. No one would ever think of that. When I was a kid they used to play serials at the movies of that sort of quality - just make it up as they went along. lolz
I loved the way he said I’ll send you back prepared, he opens the bag, pulls out a sub machine gun with a sliding stock and a ww1 bayonet and by morning it had changed to a Lee Enfield 303…….complete 80’s nonsense …love it
Correct. Though they did have crude halftracks in WW1 they really looked more like Farm tractors than anything else. This version seen in the movie is clearly NOT a German model (the suspension is all wrong), however it does look like a mint condition 1930s era French Halftrack, perhaps a version of the P107. I did marvel at it's Mint condition, though.
The stunt pilots in those scenes would have had a field day flying those low level shots! Always loved Biggles comics/books as a kid but didn't discover the movie until years later! Thanks for the quality upload!
I've always enjoyed this movie since I first found it back in the 80s. And now after 9/11 when everything at ground Zero got turned into dust including the steel, and the way the cars at Lahaina in Maui had all of the aluminum made so brittle you could crush it with your hands like they do the cannon Barrel in this movie, I think maybe whoever wrote this may have Had a little glimpse into the future himself.
This is a very underrated hidden gem of a movie. Great casting.
3:09 то
Only the protagonist and his friends are pure meh in their acting. I love the other actors
Banger theme tune too
It was a fun movie to watch. It is refreshing to see something that has not been redone by Hollywood!!!!
This is the movie that made me fall in love with time travel films.
Haha same here mate
Are there others like this one?
@@mordechai- they never followed up with a sequel
@@SSO1025RET Oh well.
Wow!!! What a movie. I loved to see Biggles, my childhood hero in Sci-Fi. I still love to read his stories as do my children.
I love the Biggles books I have 35 of them
Love this film and it was a great surprise to see Sir Peter Cushing in it as I love his acting.
😅Oh, Speed! Oh
Love peter
Just an OBE unfortunately.
Drop the “sir” bs serf.
His last movie
Enjoyable light drama romp Peter Cushing a always a perfect gentleman with a soothing voice, much missed.
Wouldn't, some times later, Peter Cushing receive the command of Death Star?
Remember the books of biggles as a child in Rhodesia. What a great adventure series they were.
I wonder what the author would have thought of this . He’d be like What the ….?
Biggles Sweeps the Desert - a classic!
Never heard of this movie before but what a true gem it is
You would probably also enjoy ‘Buckaroo Banzai’ and ‘Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins.’
Classic movie... I also had the LP in the 80s. Thank you very much.
The Time Machine (1960) to Outlander present and everything in between! I enjoy time travel movies and TV shows~
Nice flashback. The music of E.L.O , YES and other bands in electro pop was very popular with us teens around 1986. Fun back and forth. Always liked this movie. 2👍's up.
Fun, very good, hard to beat with Peter Cushing in it. A crazy imaginative story, and very entertaining.
I watched it on TV when I was a kid, but it's a shame there hasn't been a sequel for it
Absolutely. Wish it had become a franchise of time travel Sci fi adventure.
Yes, could have been a great weekly TV show.
Had the VHS, wish I still did, it's such a cult classic

Nah, Biggles flew a Sopwith Camel. Those aircraft are not from ww1, but they are cool none the less.
There were no ww1 planes in this thing.
This gem💎 should have had sequels.
I dunno, movies like this one, seems best to stay forever in our heart, like the one and only...
This movie just used the the name Biggles but failed to capture the essence. Nice to watch but not worthy of a sequel or much more. I love time travel stories, this one is OK but that's all. Probably didn't do much for the actors careers.
Loved this song... And a really fund movie :)
"If you can fly a Sophwith Camel - You can fly Anything!!!!!"
"Look out for the Hun, chaps!"
davvero piacevole da vedere- grazie per la visione.👍👍
Such a shame there never was a sequel it really deserved one or more !!
you must be jocking
I knew this would be a good movie. I love finding one of these I've never seen before.
So glad you put this up.
man, i rented that movie several times... really enjoyed it and wore out the tape i bought of it later
Love the sound track.... so 80's!!
".....get us out of here before they start to realise you're not a god, you're just an American"! Not heard that classic line in years! Thanks for the chuckle!

Wow!
Never a dull moment in this movie.
Alex Hyde White. Gorgeous. Didn't make much impact in movies but seems to have found a successful niche in audiobooks.

Look up SM Stirling to turn the tide, same premise, modern day archeologists and some gear are sent back to Roman times. Enjoy!
What a dreadful cheesy movie! Loved It! Thank you for sharing! 🐺🐾👍
Always cracked me up back in the 80s. The movie music wasn't anything anyone ever heard of or listened to.
Peter Cushing? I will watch.
Thank you!
The blast in east Bedrock claimed the lives of Fredrick R. Flintstone and Barnabus Rubble today.😅
@@mikesilva3868 So sorry to hear that, they were awesome guys. 😢🙏
Classic, wished I lived in that bridge as well.
😄, Me to, so I was very disappointed to find out,

and that those bits were filmed somewhere else.
Heh, heh! "In that case, I also have my MACE!"
Best line in the whole film!
The music track on this movie really makes it stand out.
A nice bit of light relief.
I enjoyed it. A forgotten gem. Wonderful stuff👍👍
First saw this when i was 8, and built a plastic airfix spitfire through the evening. Classic. ❤
Старая комедия, которая почему-то запомнилась. Спасибо за релиз. 🎉
🙏 thanks for all the streams

"Whoaaa! Time travel!!!" Like when *the WWII half-track* rolls up at 14:15
Yep and the sten guns 1940! Hilarious film

Or the German fighter with the radial engine, rather than a rotary engine
Also the WW2 helmets
@@KosaBrin That shape was issued in 1916.
Hey, this was a real fun❤watch! Thanx for a good old evening watching !
Like the twist in time; great movie.
Good movie, great cast, albiet quirky time travel. different from the norm music score.
Very enjoyable film. Hard to beat this classics, especially compared to the Hollyweird crapola produced today.
Good uniforms & weapons.
Tanks for the upload. Greatly enjoying this! Fiction at it's best
Merci pour ce film a la fois distrayant et drôle,
The stunt pilots in those scenes would have had a field day flying those low level shots!
Always loved Biggles comics/books as a kid but didn't discover the movie until years later!

Real good film .thanks
Great film
This one I have to come back to. Sir Peter Cushing, whata surprise!
Miss the Retro. Grew up in the Greatest time.😉🤘.
53.47...best line!....'well....in that case, also have my MACE!'
Один из самых любимых фильмов! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great film, I like a lot, Guys!!!
I grew up reading Biggles books, particularly the darker ww1 stuff. This film is such a bizarre way to portray the character.
Skvělý film 👏👏👏. Děkuji 💓🍀💓
They don't make them like this anymore. :) Thanks for the upload. Good movie.
Well done !
Biggles, flies undone.
Fun movie,and agreed needs a sequel.
If you can fly a Sopwith camel, you can fly anything. Great line 😊
Lots of fun, enjoyed it.
The captioning is hilarious. Quire for choir and a lot more.
This is a good one.
Not bad , i would have loved the helicopter stunts as a kid....
Loved this as a boy.
I remember watching this on vhs back in the day.............about a flying windmill
That's the one! I was 8 😳
@ben1895 it was a rated movie back in the day I even saw trailers of it on vhs
@@ben1895 do u remember starfleet
Only the one in Star Trek!
How cute is that? The weapon looks like a vegetable steamer! Love it!
Great fun. Saw Peter Cussing and Christopher Lee inHorror of Dracula about 11 years old it scared the crap out me
Well considering Lees role in WW2 history and shadowy organisations and being 6 ft 7 I'm hardly surprised.
I really wish they'd have made a sequel to this. It is such a quirky little movie it would have made a great little trilogy.
oh dam just remembered i recorded this movie on VHS in the 80ies.. i still have that vhs somewhere in a box..
I've always enjoyed this movie since I first found it back in the 80s.

This was a fun movie and always wish for more adventures. 👍👍👍
Quirky but enjoyable.
this could have had several movies after it. would love to see what the next movie be like
I saw this when it came out. Good look back 😊
Great, thank you.
I read every Biggles book I could find at school. He rescued von Mannheim from the Communists during the Cold War.
Grate movie ❤Thanks 🤝 !!!
Отважные были ребята-летали без парашютов!
Filme muito bom e interessante !!! Muito obrigada !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the early Dr Who sound effects!
A fun movie!
Love this movie !
Peter Cushing and 80s synth pop? Sign me up!
Just love this movie.
Nice film.
