The Vipers were meant to be the Earth Defense Fighter in Buck Rogers but they scrapped for the classic EDF that we know. Love this list Hammerheads, Starfurys ..love it

And a follow on comment - you are a clueless c.u.n.t. hacking on beloved franchises and effectively insulting the (not unsubstantial) fanbases.. Best to f.u.c.k. off in short sharp jerky movements and when you get there, f.u.c.k. off some more.. Failed channel, prick...

The Eagle was never BAD... how very dare you asswipe... Edited: Just read the rest of the comments and it seems you have managed to piss off just about everyone by calling the Eagles crap.. Suggest you rethink your list...

loved it pissed of withmthe ending.

Good choice putting The Wrath of Khan first.

I'm convinced that there was subliminal content in The Event Horizon. Just one bit that was over in a couple of seconds, but the minute it went by I was left with a more or less sick feeling inside that stuck with me for days. Like I'd been soiled or something. There was probably not a thing there that would have bothered me if I'd seen it consciously, but it's like it slipped under my radar and went straight to my bare psyche.

'Idiocracy' brazenly ripped off the premise of C.M. Kornbluth's 1951 classic story 'The Marching Morons' without even the most perfunctory acknowledgment. So f*ck that movie and Mike Judge for plagiarism.

I saw this as a kid at a dollar movie theater. I loved it and sci fi horror has been my favorite genre ever since

Easily the A-Wing or TIE Interceptor/Advance, if we are talking "snub fighters".

I know that for Star Wars, the X-Wing is the goto starfighter, but in actual combat (admittedly through games since the 90's) The A-Wing ALWAYS outperforms the X-Wing. While it's only got two cannons, it carries just as many torpedoes, had hyperjump capabilities, comparable shields and is MUCH faster and more manoeuvrable. I once shot down over 50 Tie fighters (a mixture of regular, & interceptor class) with all opposing pilots being at Ace level, IN AN ASTEROID FIELD with an A-Wing. A beautiful, sleek and deadly ship that for some reason always gets overlooked.

Agree with your list, disagree with the order. The Ryloth Gunstar is by far and away the deadliest ship on this list, if for no other reason than its five gun turrets and two crew members.

This was a documentary from a parallel universe warning of the impending collapse of the empire. It had it all, and everyone ignored the warnings and signs.

This film is not a dystopian comedy, it is a documentary...!

I remember reading somewhere Mike Judge ws worried about "anti-intellectualism". That's why the idiots in the movie think reading is gay. Ironically all the craziest things I've been reading in news recently is coming out of academia and diploma holders rather than the plebs.

Biden rolling down over and over wouldn't look out of place in "Ow My Balls!".

Anybody who thinks there's a "freshness date" on films should not be allowed to watch films.

I watched the film back in the day, it was a great film, what a shame Disney got involved they ruin everything.

My vote goes to the Quaedlunn-Rau Battle Suit (aka Female Power Armor) from Super Dimension Fortress Macross. And if your reply is going to be “It’s a mecha, not really a space fighter”, it seems to me that they ravaged the defending VF-1 series Valkyries (and canonically those are very definitely space fighters)

God, enough with the AI brain injury guy reading your script! Speak to us with your own voice or find a narrator. This makes me feel like I’ve had a stroke

Great list, totally agree!!!!👍

"Dark Star" deserves an honorable mention.

Interstellar is awful. Poor choice of actors, terrible acting & dialogue, preposterous plot elements. It's difficult to classify Thor as 'sci-fi' at all. Starwars is more sword-in-stone magic, but at least the 'setting' is interstellar space.

The Gunstar? Really??? It was a shitty gimmick ship. It's ridiculous 'Death Blossom' would not only be useless, it would render the ship an easy target - not that it would matter as the pilot would be smeared all over the cockpit.

In print-only SF (because nobody can figure out how to put it on big or small screens) there is Stephen Baxter’s “Xeelee Cycle” books. Therein is the Nightfighter, designed by aliens… it has a neutronium hull, “wings” made of two dimensional spatial defects, can accelerate at billions of gravities without harming the pilot, and some have *time drives*. It must be piloted by someone wearing a spacesuit because its only weapon is the *handheld* Starbreaker”, which is a coherent gravity beam project tor that can make Star go supernova.

Saw Cocoon on TV last year. Haven’t looked again, will have to see if I can find it.

4:13 video starts

This movie sucked a dick.

I agree with the Starfury/Thunderbolts as number 1, but you all left out the F-302's from the Stargate franchise.

Yup

Not having the Star Trek the defiant in the list is quite disappointing

"It's so hard a cat couldn't scratch it"

I remember watching very little of SeaQuest, at least the live action. I'm more familiar with the obviously Johnny Quest spin-off of SeaLab 2021 lmfao. I'd love to see this series make a comeback these days, if only to see how the effects would look

I was young. I enjoyed the first season. The 2nd one confused me... I didn't even remember the 3rd season existed.

"Forbidden PLanet" (1956) outclasses all of these.

There can be only one Highlander. And I'm high

USS Defiant pound for pound is #1 It takes down full sized starships with ease. Defiant vs Mirror Universe Negh'var. Defiant vs Lakota. Defiant vs Vor'cha. Defiant vs Lakota and Defiant vs Breen Intercepter. All of these battles can easily be searched on KZbin. Defiant won the battle vs the Excelsior Lakota despite its enhancements.

In the Mouth of Madness with Sam Neil is pretty good too, in my opinion

How dare you say these movies were good lmao... dude was literally one of the worst actors of all time hahahaha

Delta Flyer from Star Trek would wipe the floor with them all.

I'm one of the few people who went to see this in the theater. That I did is unusual, as I'm not a fan of horror movies. I was interested in it because of the ship's architecture, the way it literally copied Gothic cathedrals in some ways.

"Death Blossom." "Death Blossom?" "It's never been tested. Might overload the systems. Blow up the ship." "What are you worried about? Theoretically, we should already be dead." "Yeah, well..."

Good list, but respectfully, I'd rank the Gunstar as the top fighter. Two main reasons... One: it is more capable than either the Viper or the Starfury. First, it has more missiles than either of the other two craft, plus it has all five of its guns mounted in turrets, giving it omnidirectional gun coverage without needing to rotate the craft. This enables even faster responses than with the other two craft. Second, and perhaps even more importantly, it predates the Viper and Starfury by a significant margin. Would either of those ships exist without the Gunstar? Maybe not; it's entirely possible that the VFX people for both shows were inspired by the imagery in Last Starfighter to do the flight/battle visuals that they did. (Okay, okay, there was the Viper from the original, 1978 BSG, but that flew atmospheric style, just like your justified complaints about the X-wing. The Gunstar was the first Sci-Fi space fighter that flew with Newtonian physics in mind.) That little aside, aside, IMO, the Gunstar should be number one.

AI reads are dogshit.

Love EH, one of the great horror/ sci fi films of my generation. Can watch it again and again

I think that the Cape lives on in the form of the new Absolute Batman. The costume is different, but don't tell me the cape ain't the Cape's!

Half of your video makes sense and half of it makes me think of the quote from Rick James cocaine is a hell of a drug😂

I can’t not see a familial similarity between the Gunstar and the Starfury. Did JMS of B5 ever address that?
