It reminds me of Airwolf.

Also, just for comparison sake (and for those who have never seen it), the actual intro sequence:

I laughed my ass off at the 1986 version of the intro. I can't believe how many people, friends of mine included who are fans of the show, saw absolutely no humour in it.

The original intro was perfectly fine. If you couldn't watch the show because the intro wasn't bad ass enough for you generally suck a dick. This goes for any other shows.

"OMG the intro was cool, I'm now a fan of X"

Comon now.

Yes, that's exactly what it is. And it's hilarious.

The amount of people in here missing the joke is hilarious as well.

I think one of the main reasons the humor fails is the intro it got in this thread. While it is mentioned as an 80's intro on IO9, Calleja didn't do that here. I went expecting an intro that would fit a more modern series. This isn't "Credit Sequence [Firefly] Deserved!" because Firefly wasn't an 80's show, it would never have been what it was if it were made in the 80's. This is a credit sequence for a different series, not something to sell an audience on what actually exists.

I think "Hilarious Version of Firefly Intro" would have turned a better outcome.

Late to the party, but I have to side with the "better intro would have made this actually funny."

I'm still a little confused as to whether the people saying they didn't like the intro at first are playing into the joke or serious. That was what originally threw me, because I always thought the intro was awesome and a bunch of people were saying it was an "acquired taste" with fairly uniform seriousness.

I liked the mock 80s intro a lot. My biggest beef is that they cut Simon out of it. I think they could have shaved a couple seconds off of Jayne's sequence and maybe Zoe's or Kaylee's in order to fit him in.

I disagree. There is not enough Kaylee in the mock intro as is :p

Seriously I think the cut out of Simon was to meant to be a funny jab

The first time I saw the Dexter intro I loved it. Times after that, not so much.

As for other intros I really like...well, I think Joan Jett is great for Freaks and Geeks, songwise. And, I really, really, really like the Mad Men song and intro.

The only reason anyone gave a shit about this show was it's intro



It's also 90% of the inspiration for the guys who made the joke Firefly intro.
