Paramount "Everybody Needs A Hero" Trailer 1080P Restoration

[@ryansutter4291]

I used to watch this and rewind it over and over and over and over and over again on VHS when i was like 7 or 8. Such a hype trailer.

[@keelanjohnson4808]

Same I was 6 and I watched this way more times than I watched the actual movie lol which was congo, still a kickass movie

[@Phillipgraves869]

Ya me to...got me so worked up as a kid lol.....nostalgia 🍻

[@armstrong1990]

Legit.

[@JoeManLARockinEmpire]

Likewise so many many times

[@sladestryder5264]

Same !!!!

[@Wolf-o8f]

It really says something when almost 25 years later, we're all here watching this again.

[@seanwolslau-holdren6731]

Agreed

[@shadowproductions969]

an epic song with an action packed trailer from a lot of good movies. hard to go wrong

[@JoseRodriguez-un2kc]

You, my friend, are a hero for restoring this into an HD trailer.

[@IaMaPh1991]

I concur!

[@Mortem89]

Full throttle

[@Mortem89]

Pure testosterone

[@xelakys]

larger than life!

[@HoustonYang]

I've edited movie trailers for almost a decade now, and I truly think watching this over and over on VHS when I was 8 years old is why.

[@AndreNitroX]

Agreed this made me love editing

[@cappycapulet4700]

Same!!! Congo vhs tape!!!

[@warghost3994]

Memories! Who else has chills watching this! Tears of joy too!

[@logankerlee]

100%

[@walterszewczyk9024]

Exactly!! Lol.

[@Shawn-ho6de]

Ua buddy exactly

[@Blueeyes2584A]

I still have VHS tapes with this on them. Such wonderful memories 😊

[@ericd2285]

There was a time when society knew what a hero was and these movies epitomized and romanticized it.

[@aliesterm]

I’m fucking crying. I can’t believe this was so easy to find!

[@clintoncampbell236]

I was looking for it when it wasn’t here, so I get you .

[@Membreins]

I watched this orginally on my VHS copy of Star Trek: First Contact. The opening score of First Contact to me was just as epic as this commercial for Paramount movies at the time. Thanks so much for posting this. Loved it.

[@MrSlimePDX]

First Contact. Ditto. I was like, 12 when I would watch this... Then the movie started & I'm like, I wanna watch all those other movies!!

[@CobaltTungsten]

Me too! Ugh, good movie but really good preview.

[@xelakys]

same! childhood of 1998 for me

[@lightsabermetrics]

I vividly remember this promo video on VHS like so many others. It says a lot how well it was edited when it makes a viewer actually want to see Congo.

[@mrshrek2991]

Aww man I remember this when I was young as a kid watching The Ghost and the Darkness

[@BradyLMarshall]

That's the exact VHS I first saw this!

[@lpchaon]

Oh yeah! I was trying to remember which movie I kept seeing this before and it WAS Ghost and the Darkness.

[@karrahkozlowski8521]

Mine was a Star Trek Film!! Best memories. Would play/listen, stop/rewind quite a few times until I actually watched the movie! (:

[@samuelbrown3405]

Holy shit, me too! And then right after this trailer was the one for the Star Trek movie where Picard fights the Borg

[@jeffr7752]

Same here brother! In fact, I think my Mother still has her Ghost and the Darkness tape! And just an FYI, I actually made a trek to the Field House in Chicago, where I got to see the actual "Man-Eaters of Tsavo". They're no joke.

[@knivesinmediaog]

This promo is easily one of the very best ever assembled. This was on my VHS tape of Top Gun I think, I loved watching it, and I will probably watch this again when I'm 90 if the Good Lord blesses me with living that long.

[@AndreNitroX]

Amen. To this day this promo is the most epic thing I have ever seen!

[@John-ct9zs]

Takes me back to about 1996/1997.

[@TheWickedJuggy]

Finally found this!!!!!! Holy crap! Thank you! You wonderful person you!!!!! Nostalgia went into overdrive! So many great movies! Again, thank you!

[@Schlorgan]

They should bring this back for Paramount+

[@gcHK47]

Awesome work! I loved that trailer as a child; it made me feel tough after watching it as a boy.

[@robertmoffit4898]

Me too man. My dad still has the vhs tape this trailer is on

[@deadidutch]

Thank you for giving me my 6yr old chills back to me!

[@keysersozae]

TREMENDOUS. Thank you for putting this up. I watched this intro dozens of times when I was younger on my "Clear and Present Danger" and "Hunt for Red October" VHS tapes and have periodically come back to the 240p version on youtube. Thanks to you we have a proper version to enjoy!

[@ripdenver2384]

This was one of my favourite promotionals as a kid. I never fast forwarded the VHS.

[@robertmoffit4898]

I always watched it twice

[@frankimaserati1395]

Oh yeah! Brings back so many memories blockbuster rentals

[@SuperNitpicker]

Top tier editing for this recreation.

[@luketobin7621]

I've seen every single one of these movies, and all but Congo and The Untouchables are fantastic. Go Paramount.

[@justinratcliffe947]

Thank God you like Congo

[@person042]

Man I wish I could get this version of the song. I like it so much better than the bonnie tyler version.

[@jozdundar]

Awesome. Thought I was the only one who loved this VHS promo lol. Thanx for taking the time to reedit 👍🏻

[@davidanderson6055]

Wow, I totally forgot about this trailer. I thought about it randomly, and here it is. Haha such a compilation of 90s greatness

[@lilshabaz1862]

Trying to edit The Firm to look like an action cracked me up as a kid and I’m still laughing today.

[@IceCream_Sandwich88]

The age of action stars, ridiculous explosions and raw testosterone. Id rewind the vhs and watch this like 20 times

[@MinstrelOnTheRun]

Had to relive the memories of 12 y.o. me thinking how heroic Martin Sheen must be in this "Apocalypse Now" movie I'd yet to see. Fantastic work with such a thoughtful restoration!

[@IaMaPh1991]

I remember watching this intro promo on my Star Trek: First Contact VHS as a kid and thinking it was all a massive trailer for one really big, very awesome movie that had EVERYTHING happening in it, and was admittedly disappointed when I found out they were all just a bunch of little movies stitched together. And here I was thinking I had a massive crossover movie that would have put Endgame to shame lol

[@georgekostaras]

you and me both. As a kid, the promo on Star Trek: First Contact blew my mind. If this were every made into a motion picture, it would be the crossover of the millennium

[@bluehealer81]

Attorney Tom Cruise uses a race car to deliver the evidence of corrupt police activities provided by Frank Serpico, which turn out to reference illegal military activities against the Colombian cartel, which causes agent Jack Ryan to have to step in, first using a submarine and then a helicopter. In a desperate move, Tom Cruise commandeers an F-14, while guerillas in Scotland wage hand to hand combat to clear him a landing area. Make it happen, Hollywood.

[@georgekostaras]

@@bluehealer81 that’s the greatest story idea I’ve heard in a decade

[@logankerlee]

@@bluehealer81 You're a fucking madman and I love it. xD hahahaha

[@LilJayTx]

For me it was on Congo vhs

[@reneekendallrobinson1287]

This song will always remind me of me and my mom playing it over and over again. Around 1995 I was 15 and it was at the beginning of the western Shane. Absolutely love it

[@allengreene9954]

Remember seeing this on The Relic VHS. Classic👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 Although The Relic gave me the creeps😟😟😟 😟

[@MM-fz9ef]

Wow, thanks so much for doing this! Really nice to see that others also noticed this particular trailer watching VHS movies as kids! Major nostalgia feels

[@robc3653]

We need a good movie. These were impactful and well made. We're all sitting here watching old trailers. And loving every moment of it. ❤😅

[@ItsCalebThomas]

Watching this as a kid is what sparked a fire in my veins to be an Actor, which resulted in me starring in Nickelodeons ‘ChaseChampion’ Action/Scifi Series 🤗 ...All cause of this promo from back in the day 😏

[@TheImaginator972]

Braveheart and The Untouchables are the most favorite Action-Hero movies I enjoy from Paramount 😎 This is AWESOME!

[@andrescampuzano6606]

Man first saw this when I watched the VHS of The Ghost and The Darkness when I was a kid would love it every time have seen almost all the movies in that

[@tekno647]

I remember this.😢

[@LalondeFilms]

This is great. I use to watch this for editing inspiration.

[@jeffr7752]

Same here! It was one of my motivators for going into film and video.

[@whynot5568]

I remember watching this on our VHS tape of Val Kilmers The Saint movie. Awesome commercial

[@jeremybeamer3029]

Man, I never thought I’d see this again! Flashed into my head at 4:30 in the morning, and I thought “there’s no chance” - and it’s right here, in HD glory! Thank you for the nostalgia bump!

[@philburque46]

This is amazing! Thanks for putting in the work, this is truly fantastic!

[@NickTheYoungHistorian]

I've been looking for a high-res version of this trailer for years!

[@wassup287]

This preview absolutely ruled, I never skipped it.

[@thekiddie73]

Stunning Restoration this, Very good effort mate. Well done sir!!

[@Just_Rat-in-a-cage]

10/2023 this movie preview(??) came to mind and i'm glad someone could deliver. Thanks for having/posting it. The core memories of this on vhs as a kid. Where have all the good men gone?

[@austinlevreault6211]

When the adds for old movies are better than new movies.....

[@jeremiahdealy1687]

heard that song the other day.. and the first thing that popped into my head was this movie preview montage...

[@smason1022]

Could never forget this preceded my VHS copy of “The Saint”, which also included the ever-so-steamy romantic hero montage set to Etta James’s “At Last.” Nostalgia pays rich rewards.

[@gungriffen]

1:10 I can clearly see both Charlie Sheen and Emilo Estevez at once.

[@ShaneMonroe]

God bless you for doing God's work.

[@CobaltTungsten]

I remember seeing this as a preview on Star Trek: First Contact VHS when I was a kid... like 26 years ago when I was 5. I missed this.

[@bulltrunch]

Awww man this brings childhood memories of watching this amazing put together song with action films. When action movies were the real deal. Compared to now which are absolute trash. You can’t beat the classic.

[@josetrejo5144]

This restoration classic is amazing ! Good job to the person who re made it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@erandy0240]

Best action compilation ever! Used to watch it 10 times over before the actual movie.

[@ForceMaximus84]

You, sir, are my hero. Well done!

[@scottruest7475]

Oh man this hits me right in the feels. Many thanks.

[@CamdenMcInnis]

I loved this before my movie started on VHS 😂

[@codych19]

The restoration is awesome but I think a it would be epic to have a new mash up of movies made to this song.

[@jaegerbomb269]

I miss these combination trailers.

[@drockjr]

Holy crap! This is Hd?! What a hero! I remember this on VHS, how riveting it was

[@adamcloud9289]

Can't believe this actually exists. I used to watch this before VHS movies back in the day and loved it more than the actual movies :) Such a great video. Thank you!

[@robertmoffit4898]

This should be the music video for the whole song

[@bcdside]

I’d love to know who edited this trailer. The cuts during the slick drum beats are unbelievable!

[@Nomadicfieldcraft]

my childhood right here, i loved seeing this add on vhs before my favourite movies

[@AndreNitroX]

I am very grateful for this restoration. This is one of, if not the best commercials I have ever seenu

[@Mattamillion-vk2pf]

I was like 16 when I first saw this with my two friends and their dad. We were all action fans. Around the same time, parents said to me, "You watch too many movies" I felt a little ashamed but then I saw this and was like, 'Yep, I do, and I LOVE them.' Now I'm a published writer at 44 and documentary filmmaker tryin to break into features. :)

[@Mortem89]

This video is my pre-workout

[@ashleyceaser547]

OMG I LOOOOVE THIS used to be a trailer on some of my favorite VHS movies

[@CIlioff]

I use to love this in the 90s, was a trailer on one of my VHS tapes

[@robertmoffit4898]

I have it on ghost in the darkness. I feel old

[@MississippiKaijuMusic]

My childhood baby!!!

[@chiefsb.3784]

The Mimic VHS tape had this trailer. I used to watch it everytime I watched that movie. Such a vibe

[@joeyservo]

Fuck yes. I remember this from an old VHS of mine, don't remember which one, but I remember this trailer got me fucking pumped

[@callmeso3714]

The BEST action trailer EVER! This song and scenes just 😚👌 I remember I really wanted to know who sang this and this is all The images I affiliated with this song!!

[@TheECuse]

I had this on my Star Trek VHS. This got me so pumped up. I forgot about Congo!

[@killbot_factory]

oh wow I remember this as a kid...wow these are all AWESOME movies...all the Tom Clancy flicks, The Untouchables, Braveheart, the Tom Cruise movies, friggin WITNESS!! yes great stuff! dammit I miss my youth! where are the movies like this nowadays?!

[@robertmoffit4898]

I remember it too watching vhs tapes with my dad. Good memories

[@themexicanfishguy]

This made me fucking cry. I always rewinded this when I watched face off on VHS.

[@Fuzy2K]

This was on the Top Gun VHS that I had as a kid. I must've seen this a thousand times. This is freaking amazing.

[@MudderShmucker]

Hell yeah, I remember this on my dad’s vhs tape of Star Trek: First Contact

[@Shawn-ho6de]

What a bad ass trailer....just like I remember when I was a kid!! Fun times

[@SMFCNA]

I think a few of your shots are different but I like your interpretation a lot and you deserve a lot more views.

[@cinematicapotheosis5761]

The only shot that is off is the 2nd to the last one with Tom Cruise, but there was soo many frames of him in Top Gun wearing his flight helmet that I took one that looked close, rather than finding the exact same frame.

[@Sandlot1992]

Awesome Video!

[@db3040]

Watching this again in 2022 because we still need a hero

[@DustyBooks]

Well I guess that explains my infatuation with the song. Rewatching Congo over and over on vhs with this trailer at the beginning leaves one hell of a mark as a kid

[@foxdominion340]

Watching this when I was a kid made me join fire fighting I always listen to this song and when it was time to prevent wild forest fires spread I say to myself it's time to be a hero time to go

[@GracieMcGaming]

I found your comment girl love ya bestie took me two years 😂 🥰🩵🙌🏽

[@Ashkihyena]

Had the Star Trek: First Contact VHS that had this in front of the movie and this was as great as the film itself.

[@Ben-bb7mi]

It's amazing how much better these practical effects look compared to the CGI of today.

[@lastdragon4022]

This was the trailer boy 90's

[@Ephisus]

I think this was on my Mission Impossible vhs's. Still great.

[@robertmoffit4898]

Also ghost in the darkness vhs

[@allengreene9954]

@@robertmoffit4898 Also The Relic.

[@CrazyBunny123]

The first video tape I got from McDonald’s had this preview and I loved the moment I saw it.

[@timflint25]

This is my childhood in a nutshell. I think I saw this trailer on my VHS copy of Star Trek: First Contact. I never hit fast forward through it. Many of the movies pictured became some of my favorites, especially Top Gun and Days of Thunder. The Harrison Ford ones are definitely included in that too, and I finally saw Black Rain the other night - very underrated.

[@PupShepardRubberized]

80s / 90s action movies are so good.

[@tomspiegel5322]

I haven't watched this preview since I had a VHS player, and only _just now_ remembered a movie called "Serpico" exists. Now I want to watch it. ...Okay, I checked something out before submitting this comment, HOLY SMEG, THIS MOVIE WAS ON MY DVD SHELF! Apparently it's been sitting there for a couple of years! My Mom got it for me as a Christmas present because it looked like something I might like, and she didn't even know about this Holding Out for a Hero preview. I have been in possession of a movie that I didn't even know I had forgotten! I'm damn sure gonna watch it now.

[@ms38980]

Such a great video.

First seen this back when I watched Congo on VHS and now in 2021 I heard the song and had to come and look for this video #classicsneverdie
