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.

00:30Our world calls for courage, peace and freedom
00:36We must own
00:39We will fight on our honor
00:44What is right, we'll defend
00:46Fight the zone, zone rise
00:49Earth's most powerful soldiers
00:52Or Earth's last chance
00:54Against the spiral zone
01:00Zone riders, looks like we're coming to a commercial
01:06Let's fight the zone
01:11Let's fight the zone, let's fight the zone
01:19And now for step two
01:48Let's fight the zone, let's fight the zone

01:58Peace and freedom

02:05And finally, step three.
02:35On target, overlord, Madrid, Spain.
02:57On target, Lisbon, Portugal.
03:03There's a lot of interest.
03:10You can see me.
03:23Turn the lights up.
03:27And finally, step three.
03:32Bandit, Duchess, continue firing until I send Zoners to take over.
03:50Carry out your orders. Now!
03:53Yes, Overlord.
03:55It's time, Zone Riders. I cannot fail.
04:02Since Overlord zoned Gibraltar, those darn cannons haven't stopped firing, zoning cities all over Spain, Portugal and North Africa.
04:11Hundreds of thousands of innocent people zoned.
04:14What else can you expect from the likes of Overlord and the Black Widows?
04:18We'll leave immediately for Gibraltar, General.
04:21Destroy the Zone Generator and stop those cannons before Overlord...
04:26...zones everything within range in the Mediterranean area.
04:29It will not be easy, General. The rock is exactly that. A rock.
04:36Right, Hero. It's two and three quarter miles long and three quarters of a mile wide.
04:41Connected to southern Spain by this low sandy area here.
04:45You said the cannons are here on the highest point, General.
04:48Now, that's about 140 feet above sea level with steep cliffs on three sides.
04:53It will be difficult to take them by surprise, Commander.
04:56Unless we can create some kind of diversion.
04:58Right, Max. That way we can send a team up to South Face to destroy the bunker, the cannons and the generator.
05:05The South Cliff is probably the least watched because of its height and steep face.
05:10But if Overlord sees less than all of us when we create a diversion...
05:14...he will know that the rest of us are up to something, Commander.
05:17Then we'll make him think he sees all of you.
05:22Dummies. Anatomically correct. Heat filled to 98.6.
05:31Exactly the human body temperature.
05:33To full infrared scanners.
05:36And dressed in imitation zone rider suits and set on remote-controlled cycles.
05:41They'll be perfect.
05:43It'll be dark by the time we get there.
05:46We'll set the Eagle down here, near the low sandy area.
05:49Tank, Max, Ben and myself will attack the rock up this slope.
05:53Max, you'll handle the dummies and the remote-controlled cycles.
05:56You got it, Commander. Overlord will never know we're not all present and accounted for.
06:01Ned, Katarina, you'll use the mini-sub to reach the South Cliff.
06:05Then climb to the top and plant the explosives.
06:08Yes, Commander.
06:09As soon as the explosives destroy the guns and the zone generator,
06:12Tank will get the Eagle, pick us up, then pick up Ned and Katarina.
06:16Yeah, Commander.
06:17All right, let's get ready.
06:24Commander.
06:25What is it, Ned?
06:26Well, I was wondering if you realized just how Darcy that climbs kind of thing.
06:30That might be a good idea to team me up with somebody with a few more muscles than Katarina's go.
06:35The order stands, Lieutenant.
06:38So far, so good, Commander.
06:51Take it down, hero, and get prepared for launch.
06:55Ready for launch, Commander.
06:57Commander.
06:58Let her go.
06:59Let her go.
07:00Let her go.
07:02Let her go.
07:04Let her go.
07:06Let her go.
07:07Let her go.
07:08Let her go.
07:09Let her go.
07:10Let her go.
07:11Let her go.
07:12Let her go.
07:13Let her go.
07:14Let her go.
07:15Let her go.
07:16Let her go.
07:17Let her go.
07:18Let her go.
07:19Let her go.
07:20Let her go.
07:21Let her go.
07:22Let her go.
07:23Let her go.
07:24Let her go.
07:25Let her go.
07:26Let her go.
07:27Welcome to my web, said the spider, to the Zone Rider, all seven of them.
07:45Join your zoners and wait for my order.
07:48We will see to it that the Zone Riders never reach the cannon emplacement.
07:57It's quiet as the inside of the continent.
08:09Let's go.
08:27I'll need to worry about it because...
08:38Because you think women are weaker than men.
08:46Everybody stay alert.
08:47Whatever Overlord has planned for us should start any minute now.
08:51That goes for you dummies, too.
08:52Uh-huh. Inflatable World's tank.
09:04Let's see you and the Zone Riders get out of this one, Commander Courage.
09:10Let's go.
09:11Let's go.
09:42A good fight, yeah?
09:53Well, that's one way to look at it.
09:57A rock formation at 10 o'clock.
09:59Start fighting your way over it.
10:12A rock formation at 10 o'clock.
10:42A rock formation at 10 o'clock.
11:12So riders, that's impossible.
11:15Blasted Dr. Lawrence has somehow produced more Neutron 90s suits.
11:20Reaper, raw meat.
11:21Take your zoners to the South Cliff.
11:23Stop the climbers and protect the cannons at all costs.
11:32Zoners manning the cannons.
11:34Increase your rate of fire.
11:43Zona guards, stand by.
11:46Prepare for possible attack.
11:47Bexboy is a temple building.
11:51Try to keep it from while season they go.
11:57Aw, come on it.
11:59I love you.
12:01Call us to the North Cliff.
12:03Buzz, get going by.
12:03I love you too.
12:05Are you?
12:06I love you.
12:07Oh, come on.
12:07There we go.
12:08I love you.
12:09I love you too.
12:09And it'll be okay.
12:09Look, maybe I should have a look at you.
12:23There, at least no time.
12:25Look, we've got to get to the bunker.
12:36Thanks.
12:39Hit the gap of the line before it fills in.
12:55Form a wedge.
12:56Tank, hero, plank beat.
12:57Max, you and the dummies in the pocket.
12:59Ben, behind Max.
13:04Hit it!
13:09Stop them!
13:18Tank!
13:20Get on!
13:30I should have taught him to duck.
13:33Two of them were dummies.
13:43Blast that Dr. Lawrence!
13:50Bandit, Duchess, Razorback, Crook!
13:53Rest the attack!
13:53The only way they can get off this rock is to go into the sea.
14:03I do not see Reaper, Commander.
14:05He isn't there, Tank.
14:07Neither is Raw Meat.
14:08And there are fewer Zona troops than before, Commander.
14:11It can only mean one thing.
14:13That Ned and Katarina have been discovered.
14:15And Reaper, Raw Meat and their Zoners have been sent to stop them.
14:18Ned, Kat, Overlord knows you're there.
14:20Look out for Reaper and Raw Meat.
14:28I think they just found us.
14:35You are the demolitions expert, so I will give you covering fire while you get to the bunker.
14:40Right, Sina.
14:41Go, go, go, go, go, go!
15:11Have a nice night, pals.
15:34Katarina, come on!
15:36Weeper, throw meat into the bunker, after them.
15:46They must be stopped.
15:48Bandit, Duchess, Fraserman, Crook, disengage.
15:51Get to the bunker at once.
15:56Donut, stop firing, disengage, go to the bunker.
16:03Donut, stop firing.
16:05We must get to the bunker.
16:06They're heading for the bunker.
16:08We've got to stop them.
16:10Remount and move out.
16:28Ned, Cat, Overlord sending all the Black Widows and Zoners to the bunker.
16:36Plant the bomb fast and get out of there.
16:42Those are both good ideas, Commander.
16:44Plant the bomb fast and get out of there.
16:57Those are both good ideas, Commander.
16:59We must finish setting the explosives.
17:12There's no way you can hold them off by yourself.
17:17Look, you do your job, I will do mine.
17:19Look, you do your job, I will do mine.
17:21Look, you do your job, I will do mine.
17:23You must finish setting the explosives.
17:25But there's no way you can hold them off by yourself.
17:28Look, you do your job, I will do mine.
17:31We've got to beat them to the bunker.
17:51Follow me.
17:52Follow me.
17:53Stop them.
17:54They must not reach the bunker before we do.
17:58We've got to get to the dinner right here.
18:14I'm afraid we're a bit shorter options, Cat.
18:17Then go this way.
18:26Oh, my God.
18:56Get him!
18:57We're all not wiping the chin already, Commander.
19:01Last Reaper and raw meat.
19:10You want something done?
19:13Do it yourself.
19:18Tank, get the Eagle.
19:26There isn't time, Overlord.
19:45They can't be tampered with without knowing the progress sequence.
19:48One raw key, and they explode.
19:51Return to the intruder.
19:53All black widows and sonars,
19:55return to the intruder.
20:05It's him.
20:06Last you, Commander Courage,
20:24and your soul riders.
20:25You may have won this battle, soul riders,
20:47but one day soon,
20:49I will win the war.
20:53See, I'm trying to tell you about the mission.
20:57Yes, Ned, what about the mission?
20:59Well, you were sensational.
21:02I couldn't have made it with that.
21:03Well, you should be careful.
21:05What if someone overheard you?
21:06They might believe you think women are your equal.
21:10Well, you heard me talking to the Commander, right?
21:12I was fair dinkum wrong.
21:15I've changed my mind about what I said.
21:17Good.
21:18Then I will change my mind about you.
21:20You are not as prejudiced against women as you sound.
21:23Well, thanks, Cat.
21:24None of that's settled.
21:26How about get me a cup of coffee?
21:28Oh, Ned, you are hopeless.
21:32We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:38And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:42We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone.
22:12Spiral Zone.
22:14We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone.
22:16Or Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone.
22:25Spiral Zone.
22:28We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone.
