E.T. Bike Chase Scene (1982 Original)

[@adamdickson5185]

The reason this scene makes you cry, is that it epitomises the triumph of children over grown ups, of freedom over the establishment, of innocence over the dark and sinister forces of the world. And for that reason, it has to be one of the most beautiful movie sequences in history.

[@MedardKrzisnik]

True, well said, observed. I just watched it after many many years. I am 47 years old now and I cried immediately as I saw it again. watched it in 1982 when I just started my primary school and had a difficulty in school I remember and my father kindly invited me to the premiere of E.T. We were still in Yugoslavia at that time. The same feeling that I had at that time I had right now when I was watching it. Steven Spielberg created a timeless masterpiece, so influential, a really powerful movie it is E.T.

I can remember when I was a kid, I would sometimes ride my bike around the neighborhood as fast as I could pretending I was carrying ET.

[@bryanitza-chulopez1658]

Lmfao! Bro when I was younger I had beagle that looked similar and indentical somewhat to ET. I use to place my dog in a soda basket my mom got from her job as a cashier clerk. Me, my two brothers and cousins would ride our bikes around the park we lived nearby, people would give us looks and stares that seemed awkward as hell. XD

[@flatlandrory]

Ray Stantz I know the feeling

[@punisherthunder]

Saw the re-release in the summer of 1985. It was the first movie I'd ever seen in the movie theatre before, so I was just a little guy. During the part where ET is in the government hospital and dying and they use defibrillators on him, I was crying so hard because I thought he was dying. My mother took me out in the lobby and calmed me down some and promised me that ET would be ok if we went back in. So I go back in precisely at the start of this scene. I can tell you that I was so overjoyed that ET and his friends got away on this bike scene, that it pretty much brings tears to my eyes now (and I'm 35). That's the power of movies, I connected with what they did here and it just took me to another emotional level.

[@Worg_Arteest20047]

I saw both! I was also young but was so happy to see it a second time. I remember asking my mom why ET wasnt out on VHS yet and she said....because the movie people want to make more money off it. LOL!

I was exactly Elliot's age when I saw it in the original run, and I was weeping when Drew cried during the defib scene. I'm typing through tears right now. You never get over your childhood.

[@themichaelmartinify]

This is the weirdest comment. The exact same thing happened to me. I saw that it was released in 82, I was born in 80, and I'm thinking, could I possibly remember seeing this at 2? The release in 85 makes more sense. When I saw his red heart I thought he was hurting and I was crying so hard my throat was killing me. Even when we were getting in the car to leave, lol.

The part where they take off, as the music builds to the crescendo ... goose bumps every single time.

[@alisoninwonderland8398]

This is one of the only films that still makes me sob uncontrollably even at the age of 42. This film truly stirred something so deeply within me as a child and it’s stuck with me ever since. When it came on the tv at Christmas I used to cry as soon as I heard the theme tune and would have to go away and hide. It’s a masterpiece, really shows the polarity of humanity. The greed and fear of the unknown, also the innocence of kids, along with a real disire to go home.

[@SnailMaster]

40 years later and this is still one of the most intense and emotional chases I've ever seen in a movie.

[@voxtek]

I haven't seen this in about 30 years, not since I was kid. And the music the whole scene still has a magic to it. In the 80s things were really focused towards kids, and the world just felt like a better place because of it.

[@MedardKrzisnik]

[@wiscovirgo]

Bike chases have always been more exhilarating and entertaining to me than car chases. Maybe because it reminds me of childhood and the nostalgia.

[@kingkasper2725]

Kids don't feel empowered by car chases. It just makes them wish they were old enough to drive. Whereas any kid can envisage outrunning the cops/bad guys on their bike. Even now I prefer bike chases.

[@hazmat4260]

It also makes the chase more versatile. Cars are faster and bulkier but bikes can maneuver better. The stakes and types of action portrayed are more fun this way.

I saw this at the cinema when it came out in 82. It was a phenomenon. You can see the influence in films like Super 8 and also Stranger Things, if course with the van flip, the d and d and bike chase in series one all nods to Spielberg. I remember collecting Weetabix tokens off of packets to make a diorama of the bike chase finale. Everyone had an ET toy of some description. Going into the cinema (cost about £1,50) and coming out in the dark after seeing this film was a truly magical experience as a ten year old. Happy days.

When i was a baby my mom told me that i used to pretend i was et, comming out of the bathroom covered in towels like et and making the noises he made, and saying "et phone home".

[@Axess-sv8nq]

I remember seeing this movie MANY times in the theater on matinee showing and evening showings! Well worth the lawn-mowing money!

[@hsbvt]

This is when BMX bikes sold in the millions I believe. LOL

[@eon14873]

Yeah I'd never heard of them till this movie came out

I'll be honest that's a nice ass neighborhood they're living in, they seem pretty rich for 1982, but still ET is hell of a good movie.

[@trendkill3333]

This scene just brings me back. I always wanted to be one of those kids on the bike. And the score to this film is incredible.

[@tinygirl9519]

This always be the classic Bike Chase scene out of all movies😀

[@Dragonrose36]

I'm just here for the music. The right music can make a bad movie watchable, an okay movie good, and a good movie great.

[@computerguy233]

and a masterpiece a ultimate legendary!

[@JacobRavenglass]

and a great movie transcendent.

My 6 year old niece wanted a red hoodie for her birthday "I wanna be like elliot!" I'm so glad I introduced her to this film, she has so much empathy

[@tiffanymyers978]

Favorite part 2:15 .. "WE GOT UM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL!!!" They go up and over his car, and his partner😂😂😂 The original. FUCK THE POLICE!!!!!!!!!

[@ryankennedy5781]

I made that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faLRioCgpZmHb8k

[@marty3888]

I wish I could go see this in the theater today.

[@fergalstackstreams]

There are some theaters that will have midnight movie nights where they replay classics, or at least pre-pandemic there were. My college town's theater did this.

[@fabiandimaspratama]

The magic of cinema.. this was one of the peak chapters of cinema history. I dunno why now I rarely see a film's theme around children anymore. Let them to have imaginations. Let them be hopeful. So that they grow up with sense of humanity. Truly Mr. Spielberg is a master of visual storytelling.. and Sir John Williams.. the score was so great, there is little dialogue but this scene can felt emotionally positive.

[@evianmason1630]

My favorite scene from the movie...

[@kille5000]

1:03 Goosebumps. Every. Single. Time.

[@cinemamadness6920]

The greatest chase scene in the history of cinema

[@tonyurmate]

I was 10 years old when this came to my local cinema. When the stress of life everyday living as a 52 year old man gets to me , and I have some free time on a Friday or Saturday night , I watch this movie and it takes me back and relieves my stress ❤

[@arno-creations]

me and the boys after leaving area 51

[@Turnajon]

As I watched this at the State Theater where they performed the music, the audience exploded with applause the moment the kids' bikes shot up into the air. That was absolutely thrilling to me.

[@michaelbarritt9441]

I remember me and my sis and mum we were gonna watch a movie and my mum said what about e.t and I said no and now I regret saying that cause I remember watching et for the first. Time and my goodness I had never watched a film in my entire life that made me cry happily it's sooo good and the music is 10/10 and I remember when I got a bmx I played the bike chase soundtrack and pretended to get chased by cops with et

[@danielschannel444]

I had to watch this after one my friends started to share bike riding fail videos all the time, I had to see this is how we really used to ride bikes, except the flying with ET part, lol. Thank you for sharing, love this scene.

[@lotsoflove26]

Every time I watch this scene, I just think that they mikey and his brother have such good friends for the fact that they don't even think twice about helping them get an alien away from the government!

[@gabztvee8487]

Kristen Harlow these days a lot of friends would be like nah man I don’t wanna get in trouble

[@stevewright4092]

To me still #1 movie of all time.E,T, every kids best friend.what a cool bike ride.Very uplifting music

[@Striljr]

my god did John Williams earn that oscar for such an epic score. Not as pissed with this scene getting altered as i am with the Original Star Wars getting altered. Sooooo unnesessary. I mean the added CGI, Greengo shooting Hans scene, Joba looking like a pile of CGI dogshit and unlike George Lucas who swept the original (unaltered versions) under the rug and favored the newly enhanced versions (enhanced yah right) atleast Speilberg released this and the new 2002 rereleased version on the same dvd set and demanded both versions! Love how loyal Speilberg is to his material.

[@zatnikatel1472]

At 34 years old on my pedal bike, I played this song and pedal as hard as I could...epic scene :D
