Spiral Zone is a 1987 animated sci-fi series that blends action, dystopian storytelling, and futuristic tech. Set in the year 2007, the show follows an elite team known as the Zone Riders as they battle the evil Overlord and his Black Widows, who have enslaved much of the world using a mind-controlling bio-weapon called the Spiral Zone. With its dark tone, advanced animation for the time, and unique character designs, Spiral Zone stands out as one of the most underrated and mature 80s cartoons — a must-watch for fans of retro action and sci-fi animation.

01:48We need air support, Ned.
02:13No worries. I can get that new generator from the air commander.
02:18Are you sure?
02:21If I was it, I wouldn't have brought it up.
03:23The Zone Riders work as a team, or they just don't work.
03:29I okayed Ned's decision, General.
03:31What happened is my responsibility.
03:33Nah, the General is right.
03:35It's all my fault.
03:37You won't move on that generator until a replacement eagle is delivered.
03:40I won't be any good to you until my zone suit's repaired.
03:45How about a few days leave, Commander?
03:47I thought I'd have a look in at Paris while I'm in the neighborhood.
03:51Are you sure you're all right?
03:53Yeah.

06:24He's stung! Leave him, fool!
06:40Allez, quickly!
06:54Stop! This is the place!
07:24On the other side of his wall lies the heart pressure of the Louvre.
07:33I still don't get it. How come Crook's in charge and still a bandit?
07:40No, because, you fool! He knows Paris inside out. He's French.
07:46Paris?
07:48So this is what they're wearing in Paris this year.
07:55I am sorry, monsieur, but this is a masquerade ball.
07:59Oh, it's alright, mate. I'm pretending to be a stray.
08:03And, uh, I am with him. Because the Louvre is so near the zone, we are sending the artworks to other museums.
08:13Ah!
08:18François!
08:19My friend is anxious to meet you, Manganique. This is, uh, Sheila.
08:24Uh, we were just discussing Van Gogh.
08:27Oh, uh, go ahead. I'm all ears.
08:32Well, as a zone rider, Monsieur Tucker, uh, are you here to protect us?
08:37Don't worry, Missy. Overlord wouldn't be interested in a bunch of artists.
08:41Uh, excuse me.
08:54I wish I could see the Mona Lisa one last time.
08:57Well, what's stopping you?
08:59She's being sent to Milan tomorrow.
09:01Ah, I see. Well, uh, what's wrong with the night?
09:05I am not sure we should be doing this.
09:08Why not? Well, just take a quick look.
09:11And then jump back to the party.
09:13But, how will we get past the guards?
09:18Flash grenades. Great fun at parties.
09:21Wow. I didn't know there'd be so much.
09:38There are many more rooms like this one, Mona Lisa.
09:41Well, we'll never find Mona Lisa in all this.
09:44Hey, this one is helping.
09:47Some sort of modern sculpture, no?
09:50Yeah. Another Lord original.
09:53That's a zone part, mate.
09:55These cases will be sent to cities all over the world.
09:59Come on, Frank.
10:01We gotta tell him CC.
10:05If they move, stunning.
10:07Ah, good thing it's not the museum guards.
10:10We might be in real trouble.
10:16Stay tuned. The Zone writers will be back.
10:21And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
10:30Courage to Tucker. Come in, Ned.
10:32He did not expect his zone suit to be repaired so soon.
10:35Or they delivered the new eagle early, too.
10:37Uh, Ned wouldn't break contact like this.
10:39Something's wrong.
10:41You won't need this.
10:51Razorback to Crook.
11:02I've captured one of the Zone writers.
11:04Repeat, I've captured...
11:06I hear you, Razorback, mon ami.
11:08You've done very, very well.
11:10Très bien.
11:11I am sure when I inform Overlord, he will...
11:15Hormit.
11:16Moi!
11:17You!
11:18You!
11:19Ha!
11:20What a moron!
11:22Stop running, knight.
11:24You may not have noticed, but my legs are not very long.
11:28I... trust me.
11:41Stop!
11:52Stunning!
11:54Look out!
11:55Ooh!
11:56The Zone writer has escaped!
12:11After him!
12:12Allez!
12:13He must be stopped before he gives our plan away!
12:26I've always wanted a private collection.
12:50Here.
12:51Go on.
12:52Take it, mate.
12:57Don't let anybody through their door.
13:01They're still not bad.
13:09We will be over in Paris in ten minutes.
13:23What are you doing?
13:24I'm gonna set myself hot off a little sooner than Overlord planned.
13:29There.
13:30That oughta get somebody's attention.
13:32But mon ami.
13:34Will we not be zoned?
13:37Sometimes you have to supper for your art, knight.
13:39Or give up, sirrah.
13:43Come on!
13:47Follow me!
13:49Got it!
13:51Noooo!
13:55Sureender!
14:03I thought you lads would never get him.
14:05Get us up ahead, Commander.
14:23Everything looks normal.
14:31Except that.
14:33Bandit, everything has gone wrong.
14:37Take all of them crook.
14:39I have the eagle on radar.
14:41A new generator will lead courage right to you.
14:44We cannot risk him capturing a pod.
14:47Bring them all back to the tower.
15:03Max, get these people out of here.
15:15Sorry, folks.
15:16I'm going to have to break up the party.
15:20Hurry.
15:21That's the last one.
15:36From now on, crook, I give the orders.
15:41C'est la vie.
15:48Zoomrider!
15:49Into the boats!
15:55Snow, hurry up, fool!
15:57Whoa!
16:13Mad!
16:14I'll get him!
16:15He's coming!
16:30There's art everywhere in this town.
16:33We'll cut him off on the river.
16:42I feel like a dread dinko.
16:47I smell like one, too.
16:56I am locked on target.
16:58ready,
17:20aim, fire!
17:24Fire!
17:54Overlord to black widows.
18:17The vehicle is approaching.
18:19If we get the generator, Overlord will have to break off the attack.
18:23But are you sure we can reach it?
18:25No, I'm not sure, but I'm willing to try.
18:31I've got the eagle in my sights.
18:37The eagle is heading for the tower.
18:39It must be stopped.
18:53We will never get past the tower.
18:57We're not going past.
18:58We're going through it.
18:59We will never get past the tower.
19:01We're not going past.
19:02We're going through it.
19:03We're going through it.
19:04We're going through it.
19:07We're not going past the tower.
19:09We're going through it.
19:11We're going through it.
19:13Courage to you, Enforcers.
19:37Move in.
19:38Fall back, Widows.
19:43Destroy the pods and fall back on Intruder.
20:08Wow!
20:13That's something you don't see every day.
20:18For your part in serving Paris and the national treasure of the Louvre, I present you both
20:41with the medal of the Legion d'Honneur.
20:48Lieutenant, what I said about reckless behavior still stands.
21:03But the talent you have for independent action, it can't be learned.
21:09I'd like to shake your hand.
21:14You can give me a kiss, too, if you'd like.
21:18He loves it when I do that.
21:25We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:36And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:41Earth's most powerful soldiers fight the Spiral Zone.
21:51Our world calls for courage, peace, and freedom.
21:59We must own.
22:02We will fight on our honor, what is right.
22:08We'll defend, fight the zone, zone riders.
22:12Earth's most powerful soldiers are Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone.
