The Taarna and Den parts of the Heavy Metal movie were epic. Both of them should've had their own full length film, instead of just a segment in an anthology.

The story of Taarna, which as the last story of Heavy Metal, was the best story of the movie! ❤❤❤

Taarna is the star of the movie. (hence the movie poster).

Both Taarna and Julie(Heavy Metal 2000) are both definitely my Favorite Babes. when I was a kid I couldn't help how strong. sexy. and beautiful they are.

[@TheSeraphimArtist]

I remember seeing HM 2000 first on HBO at random. I thought it was going to be about an animated movie based on Heavy Metal music. Man I'm glad that wasn't the case. Julie Strain left one hell of an impression on me when I saw it when I was 17. As for the first movie I happened upon on streaming. Loved it so much I bought the 4K.

[@thebrownbaldy]

This film is in my top 100 of all time films. Taarna definitely exudes being the strong silent type and her segment perfectly concluded the animated film.

The narrator calls her a male wet dream and to be fair, as a man, that's difficult to deny. I first saw the Heavy Metal movie when I was a kid and since then the image of Taarna, the beautiful, powerful, warrior, goddess, alien hero is something that has always been in the back of my mind.

I've named so many videogame characters Taarna it's ridiculous. EDIT: Thanks so much for this video. I've loved Taarna since I saw Heavy Metal in theaters when I was like 12 (I convinced my dad it was a cartoon movie and he bought me and a friend tickets) and that movie changed my life, and pretty much set the course for my musical tastes. Glad I subbed to this channel or I would likely have missed this.

I remember watching this on Cinemax and HBO and the 80s and when I finally got a brand new VHS version I was in heaven I now have the DVD and Blu-ray Editions and looking for the 4K Edition

[@KellyClement]

Why wasn't she given her own show after her short in "Heavy Metal?" That could have been Heavy Metal 2.

[@TheSeraphimArtist]

There was in fact a sequel to the original movie, Heavy Metal 2000. Though it has nothing to do with what happens in the OG film. The sequel focuses on the character F.A.K.K 2 aka Julie based on the late Julie Strain. It's a guilty pleasure kind of film. Though a Taarna series could work as part of a Heavy Metal series akin to Love, Death & Robots. As in her adventures would be episodic with each episode or every now & then episode. And in the spirit of the OG film, have it be nearly without dialogue, Samurai Jack style.

[@Kas58223]

Absolutely loved Heavy Metal animation movie I highly recommend checking it out

[@indalieco4599]

Taarna inspired one of my creative outlet characters in a DnD campaign I'm making in my spare time. I wanted a vampire hunter who was courageous and fearless in her goal and derived taarna mixed with Simon Belmont from castlevania. So I named her Taarna Belmont with a silver sword and whip. Love heavy metal and love Taarna

[@fatcoyote2]

Her parts of the original Heavy Metal animated film work wonderfully as inspiration for D&D Dark Sun campaigns.

[@xerothedarkstar]

I grew up watching this flick (born in '82), but I felt the same way about Bakshi's "The Wizards". I bought Heavy Metal on VHS when I was like 16, and promptly stopped myself from watching it with other people because I couldn't stop quoting it. Then I watched The Wizards as an adult and realized it was way weirder than any fever dream I could have had.

If they mess her up in any remake they do I am going to riot. You can't improve her so don't try. Don't make her fat, don't make her woke to make her quipy, let her speak with gestures and intimadation.. Just make her flipping Tarrna. She would be the most original character you ever make if you make her JUST AS SHE IS. Make it a prefectly silent performance or damn near it.. The girl talks with her eyes, her gestures, her body language. Think of how Mr Bean worked and do that but a lot more serious (it worked in the series and sequel movie anyways) you can make it work here.. You made it work there (in the series and sequel movie anyways) you can make it work here.

[@JohnSmith-mk1rj]

@@jeromewhite2360 Sadly KZbin gets more and more obnoxious with the 'demonetization,' or whatever, and since these channels rely on making a few dollars for the effort they put in, they tend to be cautious. It's sad to see how even mild violence gets blurred out on some channels nowadays. So we're lucky to even get a glimpse of scantily clad Taarna here. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when the army of bad guys smashes the gate to the church where all.the holy men are summoning Taarna, and they break in with those crazy bolt throwing guns and pincushion the young boy at the gate, and Black Sabbath's 'Mob Rules' starts playing. I would've loved to see that clip here, as an example of how evil the Bad Guy was, but alas, even though this channel skirts KZbin's policies more than most channels (but they seem to go for quantity, putting a new video out daily), the days of seeing 'naughty stuff' on KZbin are over. Heavy Metal remains in my top 10 favorite movies of all time to this day, probably in the top 3. I used to drop acid back in my teenage years and introduce it to every person who ever came to party at my crib. Great memories. The movie literally changed my life, for real, since I saw it for the first time when I was like 13, and was looking for that 'something' I could latch on to. And so it was - Heavy Metal music, partying (although I never sniffed plutonium nyborg), and crazy women. I kinda regret the last one... 😂🤣😂🤣
