Video: Heat Vision and Jack



Good thing this was uploaded prior to YouTube's new 10 minute length restriction.
Heat Vision and Jack was created as a 1999 pilot for Fox. Written by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab, directed by Ben Stiller, this series was passed over by Fox despite critical acclaim from those who've been lucky enough to see it.

The 30 minute pilot is about an astronaut (played by Jack Black) with a medical secret who is on the run from the evil Ron Silver and the rest of NASA, with the help of a talking motorcycle called Heat Vision (voiced by Owen Wilson).
I love this!

Pan and Scan says:
In what's almost certain to become the web's next viral video sensation, the full thirty minute pilot for "Heat Vision and Jack," the legendary rejected Fox pilot produced by Ben Stiller and starring Jack Black and Owen Wilson (as a talking motorcycle) has been posted by a fan to YouTube and is quickly making the online rounds.
That's not right since it was a viral web video already. Now that it's on YouTube, it's just a broadcast video.

Holland says that it's only viral if it's passed on from person to person [ NSFW ].
