most ridiculously awesome opening video for a hockey team

submitted by nomino

1 decade 4 years 7 months ago

Unfortunately it was rejected by management for being too 80s....

"Hockey open w/ Polar Bear from Fairbanks, Alaska for the UAF Nanooks AKA "The Alaska Nanooks". This is the intended directors cut with the original music choice, rejected by the UAF people for being "too 80's" as if there is such a thing. Visual effects by Mike Martinez with help from Chris LeDoux of R!OT fame (on the moon explosion). Narrated by Brad F. Douglas. Written, Produced, and Directed by Mike Martinez.

Wow, A Rocket Bosted Polar Bear! That's Awesome - So when is this movie's release date?

2pornot2p says...

How stupid/awesome indeed. Let's play some fucking HOCKEY!!!!! ROAR

ant

Polar bear from LOST?

Appartantly it was not rejected - In the words of the creator Aylmer666

"...Hey I just saw this on G4 - they got my name wrong!!! Also they mistakenly said that this video was outright rejected. No, the MUSIC was rejected. This video played at every game, albeit with Dr. Feelgood instead of Highway to the Danger Zone."

Satellite: "THE POLAR BEAR'S COMING RIGHT FOR US"

As always, Threat #1: Bears.

Ah shit. I was SO ready to downvote, then they ended with Enter Sandman.

Bastards.

I laughed the entire way through, the hurting kind! SO BRILLIANT fucker CUT THRU THE MOON!!! WTF will the wolves howl at?!

That is awesome...

Abel_Prisc says...

Who gave that bear a hockey stick?!

rosser99 says...

During the 0:40's, Bear sounds a bit like Chewbacca.

So that's how the big bang happened.

Superganja23 says...

Management: Theres no sound in space god damnit!
Creators: Fuckit he has his own atmosphere

arghness says...

They changed it to Dr. Feelgood? So that's moving all the way from '86 to '89. Safely out of the 80s, then....

StukaFox says...

Stupid bear -- Sarah Palin lives over THAT way!

Anyone else geeky enough to be annoyed that they superimposed the bear over the big dipper rather than the entire ursa major?

^nope, what?, sorry.
what a geek!*

* I then had to Google this. The geek's right, they should have done it the other way.

Bears don't do this people!
