"Heh... not a chance in Hell. GOOD NIGHT!"
man i really wished i learned about the war of 96 in history class
That's because there were not any statues dedicated to the aliens.
Should have payed more attention kid
All American history stops at World War 2
The Eugenics war.
The post war situation was almost as bad, with the near collapse of civilization.
5:18 In fact, they targeted Cheyenne Mountain to prevent the US from using the Stargate to call in the Asgards.
Yes
The aliens arent so stupid after all
You know what that will be a good crossover movie Stargate and Independence Day
@@attiepollard7847 haven’t seen ID2 so basing this on first film knowledge but it would be interesting to see how the alien ships shields respond to Asgard plasma beams. Plus considering how the mothership was destroyed by a single nuke from within, beaming a nuke onboard would be instant death for them if their shields drop and with 5 Daedalus type ships swarming it with beams, rail-guns and missiles it will drop eventually. Aliens have an advantage in fighters but drones launched from Atlantis (if it’s still on Earth) should do well against them and the larger ships given their shield piercing capability.
@@darman12able we would have to actually wait on it though because like @SPL-316 Said Stargate wasn't operational until 1997. So have the Stargate operational in 1995 in order to cause the events or contribute to the events of 1996.
“Hello boys....I’m baaaaack!”
this should have been the video the institute returned with after all this time

The original ending was that he used his crop duster with a missile strapped to it. The video is on youtube.
I can still hear it.
They should've had an memorial for him of some sort in the 2nd movie..smh
Last time that I was this early we still used Apples' computers to defeat aliens

Rest of the world: Obliterated by gigantic city-sized ships and plunged into chaos.
New Zealand: "sips unexported wine"
"Everyone be really quiet so they think no one lives here. Then, when they land here, we can jump them, take their giant ship, and go on a joyride to Tau Ceti!"
Well, one ship was approaching Auckland but locals scared it off by doing a Haka!
New Zealand Deploys Bob Simple Tank
Its super effective!
I love New Zealand. Seriously considering moving there someday.
NZ will still be locked down 🤣
I remember this came out when I was on deployment in the Persian Gulf on USS Carl Vinson. I managed to get a bootleg copy on VHS when we stopped in Muscat, Oman. Sure, it was of meh quality but better than nothing. I even shared it with the ships TV station so the crew could have a new release to watch instead of the usual rotation of watching Full Metal Jacket and Friday.
When I went as an engineer contractor to Iraq in 2005 I brought a selection of DVDs and a player with me. The next day, I see a bunch of just dog tired soldiers at their barracks where I was checking a router. I took one look at them and said "I'll be right back", came back with those DVDs and the player. They needed it a lot more than I did.
@@sid2112 Good man
@@sid2112 Having been on deployment several times, while having no creature comforts for months at a time, while getting shot at, close to daily. I know how miraculous something like watching a movie or just eating a piece of chocolate can feel. I salute you, for the kind gesture. Though, since you, a civilian, was there, to fix a router none the less. I'm assuming those guys were not in the thick of it anymore, and had access to entertainment. Depending on which nations armed force they belonged to ofcourse.
This last part is irrelevant. Just an observation;) What matters is your selfless act, and for that you should be proud. With more people like you, I'd probably believe in humanity again.
@@soul0360 Oh yes, at the time it was pretty raw for an Army base, but well back from active insurgent areas. Which meant there was only a few mortars here and there.
"Welcome to Earth!" A classic immortal line.
This was good back in the day. But now, in what I envision, I like to see how various sci fi factions like those from Starcraft, HALO, and Warhammer 40k fighting these aliens. That could be awesome and epic.

@@elitegamer9310 TERRA INVICTA
The documentary on this event is required annual viewing in our household in early July.
Ohhh, I just realised why this video is coming out now
Its more of a docudrama really. Think "Pearl Harbor" vs "Tora, Tora, Tora"
Even when I'm not a US citizen, I still enjoy coming to this video and watching The Independence Day movie religiously each July 4th because why not?! As president Whitmore said: "is not longer an American party, but humanity fight for survival".
The aliens never attacked Australia. They were too scared to go there.
They tried to nuke the Emus and failed, they losed the war few hours later.
There’s a burning mothership in Botany Bay behind the Opera House in Sydney.
@@gryphon0468 It must've got lost. If it was bought down it was probably a combined attack from Inland Taipans and Red Backs.
If the Australians lost a war against Emus then I doubt aliens would fair much better.
or because there is nothing there..
Of course only an alien Invasion could get someone from both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to work together
Much less Nashville and Atlanta - they don't like each other either.
Or Manchester and Liverpool.
all Europe in flames while the Iberian Peninsula is having some peaceful beach time.
*siesta
The aliens obviously want to party at Ibiza
not all europe croatia still fine
Ireland chillin in the corner, Australia sending our spiders after perth
The bombing choices are so weird, places like pnom Penh, Baghdad, Abidjan, Medan, places of dubious significance militarily, culturally or population wise, while places like Quebec city, Sydney, Melbourne, Cape town, Cairo, Tangier, Suez, and Panama city remained intact

If Independence Day Resurgence didn’t fail as a film, this could’ve been an epic franchise. I will always see this what it could’ve been. Not just a popcorn flick disaster film, but a full on universe that should not be forgotten.
Watching the sequel was like eating week old cheeseburger. Leaves bad taste in the mouth and cause diarrhea.
@@skunkworksdistilleryandfir7122 it had so much potential. More potential than you might think. The concept was amazing, and the soundtrack was beautiful. The Queen herself actually is a cool idea too.
@@skunkworksdistilleryandfir7122 it even changed my original thoughts on the harvesters themes. Now they’re pretty much one of my favorite alien species of all time.
@@harvestercommander3250 it's either they didn't really care much about the project or they were not disciplined and try to research or try to put more ideas into this movie to make it a franchise. That's what's wrong with Hollywood today they're so undisciplined and don't have passion for it.
@@attiepollard7847 like I said it had potential. Lots of it too.
Spaceships: explode all major cities
South America: Rio de Janeiro go boom
" Welcome to Earth " man I love this movie . Have a happy 4th of July everyone.
Too bad independence day sequel was really bad. The movie's universe had alot of potential for expansion and story telling
It could’ve been worse in my opinion.
Although I might not ever get over the Alien Queens hit point like shields.
Seriously, with different writers and directors I’m sure it could have been better.
@@heintz256 for sure. I watched the first one many times and I loved every minute of it. Yes they portrayed America as the world saviour again but no one really cared about it. All wanted the world to survive. The second one on the other hand I watched it once and couldn't bring my self to see it again. The story was told a million time before, the CGI was meh, will Smith son had daddy issues and it was very predictable. Also, they show the aliens as savage and barbaric not cunning and pragmatic like in the first movie.
@@yazanbaddawi9683
Not to mention the pandering towards the chinese, sheesh.
@@nielsmichiels1939 about that, haven't you noticed for the past few years ever since the Chinese started investing heavily in Hollywood, all new movies which directly or indirectly financed by a Chinese company had to have a Chinese actor/actress ?

Actually glad the harvesters took the time to target some Canadian cities, such a kind attention :D
They spared newfoundland.
@@dfunckt They knew newfoundland's power was too great for them lol
^ They didn't take their time. Toronto was among the first cities destroyed.
@@rominn2184 They still targetted it, which is nice, since in movies the aliens and monsters always just attack the US. Cool to see us included as well
@@NBeaver-bx4yl ^ I don't understand your response. I just said Toronto was among the first cities destroyed, it was part of the first wave which included NYC, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Washington DC, Beijing, and others.
David Levinston: Hey! All right!
Steven Hiller: Hey, hey!
David: Look at us! Take a look at the Earthlings. Good-bye!
Steven: Y'all take care, alright? Nothin' but love for ya.
David: Bye!
Steven: Nothin' but love for ya.
*Harvester is confused*
Steven to David: Do you think they have any clue what's about to happen to 'em?
David to Steven: Oh, not a chance in hell.
David to Harvester: Good night.
*Jolly Roger appears on Harvester screens across the ship, scaring the Harvester watching David and Steven*
Steven to Harvester: Peace!
*nuclear missile is launched, Harvester alien dies screaming*
I honestly love that last bit, realising that they're taking the piss out of something that probably has no clue its even being mocked.
PEACE!!!
New Zealand: Ok I just went to the bathroom so- OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!
funny how Australia wasn't hit till the 3rd round of attacks and they chose to target Perth of all places
Makes sense if they were doing a sweep. That ship came south from Indonesia, so first stop was Perth, and then east to the other cities.
Right? What’s in Perth that’s so important? They couldn’t have hit Pine Gap instead?
They were afraid that the emus would destroy them if they attacked anywhere else
I mean I'd destroy it too. There and Cloncurry
I'd hit Daniel Andrews House :P (not actually making a threat here)
"Something you want to add to this briefing, Capt. Hiller?"
"No, sir. Just a little anxious to get up there and whoop E.T.'s ass, that's all."
Also like to see the Templin Institute investigate other organizations like the Umbrella Corporation (Resident Evil), Cyberdyne Systems (Terminator), or my personal favourite International Rescue (Thunderbirds).
Damn haven't heard the name "international rescue" in a long time. Loved Thunder Birds as a kid and I too would love to see Templin do a video on them
I totally agree. As much as I enjoy the 2015 reboot, the lore behind the original series is more fleshed out, and I believe that warrants Templin to investigate.

@@lubrjavo I think it was a joke but I could be wrong
I work at the decommissioned El Toro airfield sometimes, the munitions building has been converted into a food bank. I thought it was kinda cool to see my city get attacked by aliens, even though it was only the base. For whatever reason the movie had the base in the middle of the desert instead of the middle of densely populated Southern California
“Y'know, this was supposed to be my weekend off, but noooo. You got me out here draggin' your heavy ass through the burnin' desert with your dreadlocks stickin' out the back of my parachute. You gotta come down here with an attitude, actin' all big and bad... and what the hell is that smell?! I could've been at a barbecue! But I ain't mad.”
It's a shame they never made any sequels. Would have been nice to see how the story continued.
"Quietly shoves Independence Day: Resurgence behind curtain."
@Michael Andrei Palon 😆
It would've been more of a disaster...it felt like another generic 2010 sci-fi movie
Independence Day Ressurgence 2016
They did, it's called Independence Day: Resurgence. It's okay but not great, especially not as great at the original. Watch it if you want though, it's not an awful movie. Just a bit meh.
Now that’s what I call a “close encounter”. 👽
After the movie came on 6 times the other day, I realized the original plot of the Harvesters was far better than their motives in ID4-2. In the original movie, they were after the entire planet, colonizers who basically wrecked the planet, bleeding it dry of everything, then moving on, that's why they wanted an Earth like planet because they were out to live here even if it was only temporarily. In the second movie, they wanted to steal Earth's core which makes no since whatsoever. All the materials in the core can be found in space far easier, and cheaper, and even if that is what they wanted, with their shields they could have landed one ship, got the core and left. It would have taken nearly half as long and required none of the vulnerabilities a full scale, long term assault opened them up too.
Haven’t hammers he’d the sequel, but I’d assume that harvesting the core would be the last thing the Harvesters did after everything else on the planet was bled dry?
@@UGNAvalon if that where it was it will have been fine but in the second its told that they where already preparing and mining the core when the first ship arrived they could have done so much better if they wanted like said that they where searching for carbon like lifeform since there called the Harvester but nah that just because they want to harvest the core
I read somewhere that the Harvesters came for the core in the sequel was partly out of revenge for the first invasion being repelled off.
I am not defending ID4-2, but perhaps the purpose of stealing the molten core of Earth was to make the planet useless for maintaining life in a way of revenge for the 1996 mothership being destroyed?
The intention of bleeding the planet dry was to kill all intelligent life on the planet to stop any form of resistance. The real goal is whatever resources the planet has.
In the first movie, we as humans are of course the dominant species; and we also gathered in mostly large metropolitan areas. That's the bleeding-them-out-dry tactic the aliens are using - killing an 'invasive' species inside their own hive.
In the second movie, the aliens actually multiplied this attack by a billion. Their goals are no different, just executed with more efficient methods. The aliens actually went for ALL LIFE on earth this time - using anti-gravity weapons to rip apart whatever existed on the planet's surface, to yes, extracting the planet's core. We humans of course call this planet home, so the aliens decided to do the whole planet in a single attack the same way they did the big cities dozens of times.
Now if you still insist that end goals for the aliens are different in the second movie, its possible Whitmore's speech was taken as a declaration of war (which can be presumed at the start of Resurgence). So if this is true, the aliens may have been hellbent on destroying humanity, and that's why they sent a ship that could rip apart a planet's crust and extract its core at the same time. Solid argument if you ask me.
Little did we know back then, that the aliens where simply trying to spare the universe from the impending release of the movie, Batman and Robin, only a year later.
Damn you, guys.
First with Cadia and now this one....you drenched my eyes with tears.
Hehehehehehe

Isn't that a best thing?

That 10min video was actually better than most of the 2nd film. Well done!
(Also great narration)
Imagine a super advance alien technology just to be defeated by a high-school grade virus
Well Troy did fall because of a woman.
I know the Sequel wasn’t as good but we need an Independence Day 3. The movie was left on a painful cliffhanger! I want to see the humans achieve Interstellar travel and fight the Harvesters in epic space battles with other alien species on new planets!
You won't get a 3 this was informative not entertainment
Wait 20 years if the trend remains the same.
@@hopbattlesocc7009 for real though. I had such high hopes for the second one, thought it could become a cool trilogy. But just wait, Hollywood will wait until the nostalgia of the first movie overcomes the stain of the second and produce a third.
I agree that the sequel wasn't as good but I still enjoyed it. In 96 they awed us with city-sized saucers and they did it again with one the size of a continent! And I was impressed they got so many members of the old cast back together. At least it was better then the other sequels-to-decades-old-movies like Star Wars VII - IX or the Jurassic World films.
We will not go quietly into the night!
We shall not perish without a fight!
The way you narrated the movie was way better than the actual movie lol. Well done!. Loving the new stuff coming out keep it coming you guys!
To this day, the angling of the cameras helps the already staggering City Destroyers look just...unbelievable.
Fact: Thomas Whitmore's participation in the final battle against the aliens would have been the first U.S. commander-in-chief to lead troops into combat since James Madison took command of a rearguard artillery battery to cover the retreat of the U.S. Army during the British attack on Washington, DC, in 1814.
I was alive in 96 and can't remeber this happening.
PLS TELL STELLARIS INVICTA IS RETURNING!

Wow , Athens was destroyed in the first wave. That's quite an honor for our country. Thank you aliens.
That is what so messed up about the invasion so much Earth story landmarks got destroyed.

I love you for doing this.
Can you do War of 2016 in more depth?
ABSOLUTELY liked and enjoyed watching this vid of one of my MOST favorite movies!!!!
Well now I really want to rewatch the whole movie.
It’s funny but I was thinking about the sequel, and when I remembered Alternate History Hub’s take on what the aftermath would be of this film, it got me thinking on how the sequel could have been done. Making a much different film than the original, but also creating something a little more realistic and darker.
In the film it states that three billion people died and as the world population was around five billion in the 90’s, give or take, so three fifths of the global population was wiped out, and according to the official website 108 cities were destroyed. The aftermath of the initial invasion would have been not so much grandiose victory but rather relief for having just survived, but it would also be short lived. With so much of the population gone the economy would be ripped apart, what’s left of government would have a huge pile of issues. There would be millions wounded, sick, homeless, and orphaned, all who need help that the authorities would simply lack the resources to provide, and global trade would’ve frozen dead. At best society would come to a standstill, at worst it would suffer a total collapse, and everything would be about survival.
We’re talking a post-apocalyptic scenario here but not to the same level as the Walking Dead. Humanity would be less united than ever before, unlike in the canon sequel. The United States would still exist in theory, but in practice it would be more independent states governing themselves and trading and maybe even fighting each other for resources. In urban centers across the globe riots would break out over supplies. Rural areas would be the most stable, but the large cities that are left would be dens of corruption and chaos, and with no means to efficiently police them criminal organizations would explode out of control.
Then there’s the issue of the alien survivors from the initial attack, with their mother ship gone, which was their whole civilization, the invaders left would be desperate. Realizing that their only hope would be to make our planet theirs, colonizing earth rather than harvesting it would become their goal. Only this time they would lack the means to come in and kick ass, and the resulting conflict would be fought between the remnants of two civilizations, each in a frantic and much more equal struggle for survival, with both having as much to lose as the other. So, the sequel in this scenario would be a much more up-close, down, and dirty battle that would have none of the city destroying spectacle of the first film, and a more claustrophobic, gritty, and frightening story.
Ngl I definitely would like to see what other nations’ perspectives like the European theatre and the Asiatic theatre be like.
Brilliantly done!
I miss your old narrator, she was great. I'm still not sure about the new guy but he did a great job with this video. I would like to see more videos about halo like the ODST's, or Cortana. Or maybe a video about The War of the Five Kings
I'd be interested in a movie about the Harvester's guerrilla war afterwards.
Me too because african warlords vs alien warlords sounds fun
still supporting you man xoxo
Canada: You think these aliens will get us?
Vancouver: D'oh!
When facing an alien invasion, never forget your most important weapon: plot armor
Say what you want about the Independence movie but that speech was as iconic as the movie itself.
10/10, amazing video!!
This is a great reminder of how great that first movie was, when I was eleven. I even read the book!
Saskatchewan Gang! You'll never beat us Alberta!
*Laughs in oilsand*
@@theluftwaffle1 You may have more money and more people but we have Corner Gas!
nothing a 90s computer couldn't fix
Fun fact: The final battle scene of Independence Day at Area 51 inspired the Katina level from Starfox 64.
Yah man (West Indies accent) love that BoB Marley pic and that fun fact about Starfox on N64
I like how you made a doco out of this. Makes it look like it was real.
You humans are hilarious. We will be back.
Captain Steven Hiller just like every Lance Coolie before him marries a friggin stripper. Well done, Marine!
I really liked the narrators voice for this video, the ending bit gave me chills the first time I heard it 👍
I really love your channels unique form. Can you reach way back into scifi history and do Buck Rogers, Logans Run, The Black Hole and the Last Starfighter? It will be a nostalgia trip for those of us in our 40s and 50s and introduce some scifi history to the current and middle generations.
I didn't realize how heavily they played on the whole "Independance Day" thing.
The whole speech on the 4th I caught but 1996? How perfect, exactly 220 years after the signing.
Also, where's that dot in the northwest of America on the map of the first strikes supposed to be? I cant think of any large city in that area but Seattle.
But the dots way too far north. Are they hitting Blaine?
Second ones obviously Seattle.
Vancouver.
Vancouver Canada.
The Canadian response was a rousing "Hey now! That was rude!" Oddly the Harvesters promptly apologized.
Vancouver Canada
6:37 That is because they used only One warhead, to crack a shield you need at least Three waves.
That's the thing about using nukes against aliens that I've noticed: they use only one, when it very likely requires multiple impacts to crack them and bring them down for good. If they had boomers to spare, they should've used the MIRV warheads aboard rather than an air-launched missile.
@@jimmyseaver3647 i think the logic is they dont want to spam them unless they have to cause radiation sucks atleast untill they discover how to negate like in halo most of there nukes turn almost all there energy into heat and shockwabes
Problem is, nukes need their electronics and mechanisms intact to go off. They aren't passively explosive like a lot of explosives. And since a nuke going off tends to be rather hard on nearby electronics and mechanisms, that makes strikes with multiple nukes kind of difficult.
@@jimmyseaver3647 If not nukes a couple of EMP's and a few Bumkerbusters and Thermobaric bombs.
@Chris George I live in Texas.
At the point in the story the fallout was the least of the worries, most of the citizens had evacuated.
Alternatively 2 to 3 EMP bombs followed by Bumkerbusters and Thermobaric Warheads would also achieve roughly the same thing.
Excellent video good job 🥳
In a time of strife and chaos now, this video shed some hope.
