- The Best Steampunk Movies & anime in my opinion.
Get the films here: www.amazon.com...
As every other channel on youtube loves to cover either Star Wars or Marvel, today I thought I would make a video -focusing on a less well-known genre, Steampunk.
So what is steampunk?
While many associate Steam punk with steam, clockwork, and the colour brown. In a nutshell, steampunk is modern technology powered by steam with the aesthetic of the mid-late 19th-century British Victorian or American wild west. The term was originally coined in the late 1980s and since then has evolved into other genres such as dieselpunk.

#steampunk #steamspeed #steampunkmovies #2019 #movies
When you have already seen all of these movies yet are still looking for more Steampunk. Yeah, this genre really is pretty rare. I love it, but it so difficult to find Steampunk media, especially any that is particularly good.
Would you want to see another video with steampunk? I've got quite a few more to add, however I can always do another genre.
@@Hyperdriveuk make it happen dude, please
Have you seen Mutant Chronicles?
I wanna make a steampunk/fantasy trilogy one day. Bear witness my guy.
You could try with movies like:
Empire of Corpses
The Fabulous World of Jules Verne
Tai Chi Hero and Tai chi Zero
Last Exile is my FAVORITE Anime, and as far as steamPUNK goes, it follows not just steam, but the themes of anti authority and aristocracy as well. no punk-sub genre is without it's true PUNK
I just bought "Last Exile." I agree, It's great.
More Steam Punk PLEASE.
Ok kool I've got quite a few more quirky selections.. so it's definitely doable.
I read the mortal engines book series and I ask everyone to read it
Mortal Engines; The series of books are a fantastic piece of literature. The final chapter of the fourth book should be famous as a major piece of drama and storytelling. The film was fun but the story got lost in translation to the screen; basically they killed off the rest of the series by changing some critical parts.
I read it but every time I say I like mortal engines people think of the movie.
Best book series I’ve ever read
yeah it was really fun to read, just from a standpoint of the setting! the story itself was okay but very fun indeed
Exactly 💯
The 1960's television series "The Wild Wild West" was where I think Steampunk began really!
There were outlandish engines of destruction, some of them even driven by steam, including a killer robot! Nifty clockwork devices created for killing, villainous villainy from villains and two nearly perfect heroes protecting the American West in the 1880's!
A great show!
I think mortal engines was unfairly panned , to me was a wonderful experience👍 thanks for remembering city of lost children!
totally agree
You should read the Book.
Agreed, I'm usually very critical of the films I watch but couldn't find any major flaws in Mortal Engines
i loved the movie i thought it was so different from the rest... too bad it didnt get much attention
Exactly, although it follows some of the (now inevitable) cliches, it is deemed "bad," while other movies with same cliches are celebrated.
Last Exile was truly amazing. I can't recommend that enough.
I'd like to throw in a bit of an unorthodox recommendation: Koutetsujyou no Kabaneri. It's Steampunk, but also a zombie anime as well, so it's a bit half and half, but also hyper fantastic.
I love Last Exile, but it's core premise is very deep and poorly framed, making it frustratingly confusing at times. Could be just because I'm dumb, but I loved it regardless. There's also a second run of 23(-ish) episodes that is also very enjoyable. One thing that the series nails, however, is the visceral, weighted feeling of everything and the casual legitimacy of the tech, outside of the "black box" power source. Wonderful scene direction, as well, and the background and character design is tops. 3D CG is clunky quite often, but that's early CG for you.
@@pdahandyman The only thing I didn't like about Last Exile was a plot hole near the end of the first season, which left me wondering how Mulland Shetland went from seemingly dead, to being alive and with kids. Aside from that I loved both seasons.
came here to post this
Thank you for adding Last Exile. It is a vastly underrated and almost forgotten anime classic.
It was on danish TV in early 2000s and i love IT👍
I would add"April and the twisted world (US title: April and the extraordinary world) to the list. A French animated film that I found to be a lot of fun.
I know the one- I was going to save it for a possible 2nd video. Haven't watched it in some time though. Would you want to see another steampunk video or something different?
@@Hyperdriveuk you could save the April movie for a video on uchrony movies
@@Hyperdriveuk There's plenty more Steampunk :) Do it :D
"April" is an extraordinary film. I love French animated movies and their penchant for depicting characters as everyday people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, mirroring their own bloody history and the struggle of the commoner against royalty. Thanks, peep. Now I'm going to have to watch it again! ;p
You could just cover all of the retrofuturistic genres, from dungeonpunk to atompunk. Then of course there is the question of cyberpunk, which it's debatable the degree to which it can actually be called retrofuturism as our world is looking progressively more cyberpunk by the year.
I've covered Biopunk and cyberpunk... was thinking either another Steam then perhaps Diesel. I'm just curious to see what my subscribers want.
@@Hyperdriveuk That sounds wonderful!
"The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"
"wild wild west "
Disney's "Treasure Planet
"
Disney's " Atlantis : The Lost Empire "
"Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events"
second season of Netflix's " Disenchantment "
"Howl's Moving Castle
"
are all worthy to mention
I hope that you are referring to the original TV series "Wild, Wild West" and not the movie which, in my mind, does not exist. The series was a blast!!
League of Extraordinary Gentlement was good in my eyes, but yeah now that i see it, it didn't age THAT well but it's still ok.
@@sethleoric2598 League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is why Alan Moore refuses to put his name on any movie adaptations of his work.
@@chrisoliver3642 yeah, still ok tho
Steamboy is without a doubt my all-time favourite steam punk movie just encapsulates the era and the radical achievements steam could achieve so well. And the studio that created it put truly their all and money into its creation.
Cover all the punk genres.. ray diesel cassette.. go full niche! 😁
Loved 20,000 Leagues as a child, still one of my favorites!
Now that you've tackled Steampunk, how about Dieselpunk next?
Rocketeer, Sky Captain, and Iron Giant come to mind :)
Also mad max, and Captain America the first avenger
Ok that's a suggestion for Dieselpunk - I'm up for covering all of them! Cheers!
Iron Giant is Atomic-Punk no?
@@Hyperdriveuk I look forward to it. There were a couple of titles in this video that I'd never heard of, but now they're on my watchlist :D
Mad Max, Captain America, Sky Captain, Iron Sky, Iron Giant, War of the Worlds: Goliath. Though you listed it here Last Exile is a fine example of Dieselpunk.
Thanks for watching, Oh and I will be doing the poll this week for the next genre suggestion.
Get the films here: www.amazon.com/shop/hyperdrive
HyperDrive what was the anime with the big mechanical samurai
@@parkercook8326 Samurai 7
Howl’s Moving Castle?
CYBERPUNK!!!!!!!!!
9ine should have made this list or at least honorable mention. I'd also tap into; sky captain and the world of tomorrow, sleepy hollow (Johnny Depps star), Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2 with Robert Downey Jr and Wild Wild West. Thanks for your video.
I'm just saving stuff for another video- I think the Steampunk purists would hate the Sky Captain + sleepy hollow but Sherlock and WWW wouldn't be tooo bad.
Also worth adding to this list are "The Adventurers: Curse of the Midas Box", "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc -Sec", and "The Adventures of Tintin"
Another worthy addition to this list would be "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" which has a lot to do with steampunk. Good list otherwise. Thanks for sharing.
I'd like to include the TV series The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne which only ran for one season on the sci-fi channel, but created true steampunk stories that, within the show context, inspired a young Verne to write his novels.
I went to a second-hand shop with parents when I was a kid and they told me to look around and find something I wanted. I choose a black chest with metal trim for storing my treasures and two large, beautifully illustrated books. One was a copy of Peter Rabbit and the other was Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. I devoured both and was thrilled when the Disney version came out. Also I loved League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and was very disappointed that they cancelled the sequel. I've been a steampunk fan for about 60 years, they just weren't calling that yet. As far as your lists go I think you're channeling my personal movie collection. You, Sir, have excellent taste. Thanks for sharing.
I think the book Mortal Engines was so good that it got strip-mined for anything of value and so became a cliche on looking back. The same, in many ways, as The Giver - it's predictable these days because everyone copied it.
City of the lost children is an amazing movie, with its quirkiness, infantility mixed with dark and dramatic tones, it basically captures the essence of european fairytales.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, it has this amazing european/french feeling to it. It feels very old and yes pretty modern.. no clue how they managed to achieve it visually, but it worked.
I think most of Jean-Pierre Jeunet can be highly recommended (watched maybe about half of it). of course with an exception of Alien 4. ;)
Steamboy was surprisingly a fun, straight forward adventure. Usually ambitious anime movies of this scale tend to be rather convoluted and confusing.
It's aged really well, it's been many years since I've watched it- and I have to say I enjoyed it more now, then back when it was 1st released.
Yes, you should make another steampunk selection. Except for City of Lost Children, I've seen all the ones you have listed here. I liked them all... well except for Mortal Engines. I would suggest checking out Sky Captain and Metropolis ( The Original and the Anime). Have a great day and thank you for the video.
You lost me at Mortal Engines.
And had me right back at Hellboy.
Have you read the book?
V-REX 626 yea. A good read. Pretty wild premise.
Just a bad adaptation. Nothing new.
Mortal Engines was just frustrating... I saw the ratings and thought, this is going to be complete trash. But I was just tickled by the mobile London thing... it just cracked me up. I wish they focused more on the city roaming around attacking other cities like Paris LOL. Haven't read the book, but I'm pretty curious.
HyperDrive oh my. Senpai has noticed me. UwU
@@erichong3430 lol ofc, I try to read/reply every comment :-D thanks for watching & commenting!
Have you by any chance considered Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? It’s not "pure" steampunk so to speak (though honestly nothing truly is), but it’s one of the other movies I obsessed over along with Steamboy and still long to watch again.
Another two possible items are the (Possibly French? The lip animations seemed to indicate it) TV series Wakfu, but it admittedly only contains like, one or two episodes with actual steampunk stuff with the rest concentrated on different things, but I always thought the punky bits seemed pretty well done ;
And Avatar: The Legend of Korea which features a novel diesel/electropunk aesthetic for pretty much the entire show whenever the technology appears.
I'm so happy you mentioned Castle in the Sky. And to recommend to watch in original language too. You are all class my man, this channel got my curiosity, subbed!
What I'd love to see is either the Orville or the Flash doing a Steampunk episode which could turn around and become a spinoff.
That feeling of satisfaction at not including Wild Wild West...
LOL that movie is embarrassing to watch.
That’s one of my favorite steampunk movies mainly because it was the first but still
The original Wild Wild West TV series is great, though.
I really don't get all the hate. That movie was amazing.
Kinda feels to me like it is one of these occurences again, where everybody likes/dislikes just because they feel that's what they feel is expected of them.
@@Heinzpeteromfg
The 1999 film stinks because Will Smith basically hijacked the franchise and
turned it into a race-swapping vanity project, and vanity projects (like Johnny
Depp's self-indulgent turn as Tonto in "The Lone Ranger") rarely turn out well.
Changing James West into a black secret agent who is implausibly working
during the Reconstruction Era adds a trainload of racial baggage to the story.
Besides that, the remake simply isn't as good as the original 60s series, which
was remarkably stylish, violent, and imaginative---007 with a steampunk spin.
oh man, just the other day I was thinking, kinda annoyed, the small quantity of material concerning steampunk.. now I know about Last Exile and The city of lost children, so thanks a bunch! Can you cover some Cosmic Horror perhaps?
Agreed and agreed.
Some Lovecraftian horror eh! I will add it to my list/poll! Last Exile has a fantastic world, hopefully you will really enjoy it.
The best western ever made. Starts off small and intimate and scales up steadily to a full blown epic. So many memorable scenes but for me it’s the one towards the end where Clint comes across the young confederate soldier left alone and dying from his wounds. In this moment of incredible pathos he gives this astonishingly beautiful young man a drink of water and a puff on his cigar before he dies. It’s all done without a single word and humanises the steely-eyed killing machine that is The Man with No Name. A truly masterful piece of film making by Sergio Leone with a score by Ennio Morricone to match.
lol was this comment for the GBU even thought it's in the steampunk vid haha!
Fullmetal Alchemist. I do appreciate Last Exile getting some recognition. I fondly remember watching it.
Which do you prefer, Original (first aired) FMA or Brotherhood? Last Exile is very cool, rewatching it was pretty refreshing compared to a lot more recent anime.. isekai and harem are just all over the place atm.
I prefer the original. The music and the more grounded tone are why. I didn’t care for the alkehestry sub plot or the forced humor gags taken from the manga. I didn’t think they worked that well overall. Maybe it’s just the nostalgia factor from being blown away by it in middle school.
For my fellow weebs:
Princess Prinicpal (2017 anime series)
Description:
It's like steampunk Totally Spies but more darker and the spies need to assassinate, interrogate, and betray their way out of Victorian London where England is devided into monarch loyalist Britons south and Commonwealth-communists north. Neither which good nor bad. A lot of plot twists, tragic backstory galore, and the steampunk vibe really shows.
These videos here are what got me into the channel i am down for any genre it is just nice to have some curation and find things that may not have considered worth my time or never knew about to begin with.
Kool cheers for the support. I'm always trying to sell the video as you define it, but it's hard not to come off as a standard "top 10".
I would add "the mutant chronicles". Steampunk guns and planes? a clockwork hell engine that produces demons? Ron Perlman, John Malkovich and Thomas Jane? Check to all!
Steam punk TV: Wild wild west (1965-1969), Adventures of Brisco County Jr (1993-1994)
There's an animated French film u missed : April & the Extraordinary World
Yeah I'm saving that one for another video. Ironically when I do that one.. people will make comments like you missed steamboy :-) lol.
@@Hyperdriveuk oh cool u've heard of it! Now that make 3 English speaking humans who've seen it 😉
Finally! Someone who not only loves Steamboy as much as I do, but also holds equal appreciation for City of Lost Children (Junet's Alien: Resurrection is easily the best film of that franchise, as well).
I do question including Hellboy II, though....
Despite all the other anime, Howl's Moving Castle would probably fit better.
Another steampunk aesthetic movie is would suggest is 'City of Ember'. Based on a book apparently
I knew about Steam Boy, but haven''t heard about the other two animes, thanks! You should do another steam punk and diesel punk as well :)
HyperDrive: Castle in the Sky.
Me: *thinks he said Howl's Moving Castle and gets really excited*
Finally some good suggestions. I was waiting for this for months
I have to apologize, been wanting to do these for ages, and will be doing these on a far more regular basis. Netflix stuff just destroys my soul lol!
To be honest i really do somewhat prefer the Dieselpunk asthetic because it usually involves Ww1 and 2 with friggin mechs
steampunk hollywood movies: Sherlock Holmes(2009) Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows (2011) Mysterious Island (1961) Master of the World (1961) First Men on the Moon (1964)
Princess Principal and Clockwork Planet are two more incredible anime that I would suggest.
Out of these movies I own "Steamboy, Hugo, Last Exile, Castle In The Sky." All, in my opinion are great flicks. There are some missing from this list like "The Golden Compass," and (maybe) "Miss Peregrin's Home for Peculiar Children, and Howl's Moving Castle." I'm sure there's many more that I'm unaware of.
An anime I sort of thought could fit into the genre would probably be Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, especially if you’re into zombies:)
When you love Stdio Ghibli as well as Steampunk, and two of Miyazaki’s movies are steampunk. 😍
Thank you for this list, man, I got to know some really good movies that I had no idea existed. Keep up the good work!
Cheers! Thanks for watching.
Steamboy. Also, to the best of my knowledge, the only anime set in 19th century Manchester.
Kabaneri of The Iron Fortress is a good addition here or for future steampunk reviews / list.
"london being mobile and literally hunting down small towns in europe, it's such a crazy far fetched premise!"
you know dam well that if london were mobile it would not hessitate to hunt other territories for sport
I would like to see more of Steam Punk!
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress - huge steam trains, fortress cities, samurai and zombies... nuff said, I think!
when you mention "20k leagues Under the Sea" - you may definitely mention most of its other adaptations. or majority of media inspired by it - like e.g. relatively little known (now) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fabulous_World_of_Jules_Verne - and any other Karel Zeman's productions.
You know whats great bout last exile, it has a second series last exile: fam of the silver wing...which is set some years after the 1st title and set in Earth
Just when i needed it THANK YOU for making this video i really appreciate it, and for me Mortal Engines was absolutely amazing i wish they could continue it :(
You're welcome!
Thank you for the great movie suggestions! I would love to hear more steampunk suggestions if you get the urge...
Glad you're back.
Cheers!
Great video. Would love a video on Asian crime thrillers!
Anime or just movies?
Asian crime thrillers! lol THAT IS GENIUS!! haha - will be looking into that one for sure cheers.
@@PeachFlavoredKaiju Not a big anime fan. But im open for anime in that list i guess xd
@@Hyperdriveuk You're welcome.
@@mistilteinn3670
monster
Banana fish
Rainbow
Pyscho pass
Hero's mask
You put last exile in your list, you earned my trust.
Treasure Planet is a great anime
Steampunk is really an exciting aesthetic and philosophy. Great video.
That was a nice chunk of a subject. Very tasteful selection of clips. I like the genre of Kurt Russell Big something in little China genre whatever it is. Do something on that one if you haven't .
Missing:
Howls Moving Castle
Porco Rosso
Master of the World
to be fair, howls moving castle is more magitech than steampunk
OK how about Nausica?
Porco Rosso is dieselpunk, Nausica is more like atompunk, they do not fit into steampunk neither in spirit, nor in tech, nor in aesthetics.
@@LukeVilent Bull Shit Nausica is not atompunk it's after we've F@#$$%^ Up destroyed the world and their using remnant and makeshift steampunk technology both
@@vernonjackson3435 We're just talking about movies. We can stay calm :) It's just a debate, not a war.
I'm looking for a anime movie I watched about 15 years ago; and i can't find it. I believe it's in a steampunk setting, but I'm not 100%.
It's about this robot boy that cannot really talk, and he meets these orphans. Two of the children are dressed up kinda like bunnies with the girl having pink ears and the boy blue.
There is this man trying to catch this robot boy's heart. And that is about it what I can remember from the movie. I have been searching for it for 5 years now, and haven't found it.
My friends say I dreamt it all.... but I'm sure I haven't, because I remembered it so well being so dark and violent, which I'd never seen in an anime or a cartoon ever, because I was around 10 years old and had only watched Pokémon and stuff. So I'm sure it does exist.
At the Earth's core is one of Edgar Rice Buroughs Steam Punk Adventures. The film stars Peter Cushing and Doug McClure. It's very B movie but still a wonderful adventure.
I've seen Hugo a while ago. It was such a fever dream.
I've always wondered what genre Disneys Atlantis would fall under, seems like a bit of a mix, does anyone know?
They build a steampunk area in phantasialand in germany, it's called "rookburgh". Since I know this I wanna now more about the genre
Del Toro meets Gilliam? I'm intrigued and scared LOL.
More of this kind of content. Very well thought out.
Cheers Conahan, would you want to see another steampunk or a different genre of your choice?
Steampunk Hong Kong Movie: Tai Chi Zero(2012) and Tai Chi Hero(2012)
They should just call the main genre Retro Sci Fi, basically to encompass the idea of futurist society with retro tech.
Great list! More Steampunk and Diesel Punk vids! Include:
The Adventurer The Curse of the Midas Box (2013)
FRANKLYN Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) (Diesel) Sherlock Holmes (2009) Sherlock Holmes - A Game Of Shadows (2011)
The Golden Compass
Brazil
The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello
The Prestige (2006)
Jonah Hex (2010)
I loved Mortal Engines. I love the world and the characters. The books are even better. Read them!
Holmes and Watson, the house with a clock in its walls, Victor Frankenstein, the Current War
Mortal engines is one of the most underrated movies in the world fr😢
You have Mortal Engines on there but no mention of the Mysterious Geographic explorations of Jasper Morello?!?!
City of lost is Terry Gilliams Brazil, a little bit of 12monkeys but more of dark city. I need to watch it
I know Metropolis(1927) is more diesel punk but it's a worthy mention. It's pretty much the grandfather of all these films.
It's the grandfather of most scifi! lol
Regarding Hugo, surely late 1920's France counts as part of the steam age? All of the locomotives were steam and I don't recall seeing any automobiles.
Well I would agree- a lot wouldn't as they can only perceive definitions in black and white.
Hugo was a great movie. Brings forth a child like happiness!
You may have included War of the Worlds Goliath and the anime version of Metropolis
*I'm actualy just adicted to steam, diesel, energy powered weapons*
Theres an area in tokyo disney sea based off 20k leagues under the sea and its super steampunj
And Ron Pearlman was in two of your selections. Probably just coincidence :)
It was going to be 3.. but I thought.. that would be overkill LOL!
@@Hyperdriveuk Now I am curious what the third was potentially going to be.
Needless to say, he is an interesting actor with diverse portfolio of roles.
Guess I have to watch Last Exile... only one of this list I haven't seen...
Hopefully you won't regret it.
I had to check on IMDb if I watched all of it and surprisingly - I did! I barely remember anything of it, besides giant ships, general war /army/"navy" apotheosis and some airship races, I think. I is definitely not bad - just ehm.. "forgettable", apparently. :)
Great piece really enjoyed Hugo and City of lost children :)
Thank you for recognizing that subs > dubs.
another example of this mix between retro and future are video games like Horizon zero down (mix between future and bronze age [i guess]) and ff12, an unique mix between ancient middle east and future.
8:01 a city with a great name for Spanish speakers
No mention of The Time Machine.
How come you didn't include City of Ember???
the anime Visions of escaflowne is full of steam-powered mecha fighting each other
Escaflowne is one of my fav anime series- I've never really considered it steampunk though- the whole dragon mecha controlled by leads was always interesting. If I was going to put in another series, I would go for Samurai 7
These videos are way much better than the boring netflix videos.
If only they got the same level of views! I'd be a very happy person indeed lol.
Don't blame you.
Thank you for all your awesome videos this is a truly great channel ☺️☺️
Cheers dude, thanks for watching.
Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow? (Diesel Punk, probably),
Osmau Tezuka's Metropolis (cyber punk)
I cannot tale the bad guy from Hellboy 2 as a serious threat, as I keep seeing him with his identical twin brother in the 198-0's boyband Bros singing "When will I be Famous". This is the same reason I find the bad guy of Blade 2 funny as hell as well.
