Copyright flags and strikes are a strange thing on KZbin, it's a shame they can't just treat this video has an historical archive, which is what it should be treated as.

I just introduced Max Headroom to my 17 and 18 yr old sons......they are laughing their asses off....

This IS ART, im from Spain, I was born in the 90s, but i found some pirate tapes from a friend and when I Saw what i was i thought It was the BEST... It looks a lot like an old TV show from Spain called "La Bola de Cristal"...

I love the pop music ephemera. The music video at 9:49. God bless whoever they were, with their Peter Gabrielesque lyrical delivery over what is essentially New Orders riff from "Temptation".

[@ThisIsLondon]

Hit list, Into The Fire, never a hit due to it's release coinciding with a major nightclub fire. Fantastic video though! Love Max's dancing at the end too...

Is this where KZbin poops come from?

Thank you for posting this. Any idea what Max is saying in German at the start?

[@ThingsOffTape]

Hopefully, someone will let us know.

@@ThingsOffTape Pronunciation and sound effects make this a tough nut to crack...but it´s something along the lines of "Why do the Germans have such a (---) language? The (---) was in a German restaurant and the waiter brought me a soup." I know this doesn´t make much sense but that´s what I hear.

Wait, this doesn't follow up on part 1? Part 1 just randomly cuts off? Oh well...

[@watfordweather]

Hi DaVinci, part one does complete to the best of my knowledge, if you look to the top right hand corner at the end of the programme you can see a tiny box of horizontal lines, this was the cue for advertising to commence.

[@DaVince21]

[@ThingsOffTape]

Hi thesmf1210, The Max Headroom Show 2 has been completely blocked because of one track, Icehouse - Hey Little Girl, apparently this track cannot be seen or heard. So I had to snip it out and upload the show again.

[@HeavyMetalBarpiano]

By the way German ain't such an ugly language. But Max's pronounciation and wrong grammar is. 😜

[@number6ix929]

Translation of this joke in English please? Ah, I've actually found it elsewhere... It's not so funny but Max's delivery of it is... Lol

Nein, es ist richtig. Deutsch is nicht perfekt, aber es ist ein stark spreche!

@@number6ix929 Why do Germans have such an ugly language? I've been to a restaurant and the waiter brought me a soup. That's the translation of what Max says but could you please explain what's so funnny bout that? I don't get it 😀
