[DjBloor]

the dancing by the two pilots was great, the jaeger's dancing looked like it was made of foam and string.

[lobster]

some of these parts are gonna be stuck in my head for years

[adilator]

You thought the 2pac song in the trailers was bad? nerdist be like hold my beer.

[janelleodate]

Love this. Well done and fun to watch.

[mrjoebot_]

Seriously... Everyone in the meeting was like good enough for us???

[HakunaKun]

I'm going to see again this video with my friends just a few minutes before to watching Pacific Rim 2 🤔... I'm sure we'll come out of the theater enchanted with the movie 😜...

[blaze]

Ok, this video confirms that there is only one Pacific rim movie.

[taylorkurtz]

my expectations were not high but i was blown away. this was good, song had rhythm. that robot had an incredible voice.

[NekozillaGoji]

I don't care if this song is bad. I just like seeing the Jaegers dance in this video. 😂

[dough]

I feel like you owe me 3 minutes now...

[timonrachael]

Oh yeah, you jeager pilots are going to get this party started!

[AwMfighter]

That's Original and Fresh. Me Likey!!!!

[Katayahlane]

I only liked this video so i could laugh at it XD

[casualbaker]

When a movie studio gives you a bag of money you say yes...i guess?

[Remhad]

This movie, I loved the Jaegers, but it had so much more potential.

[Optimus_stopmotion]

Till this very day i cant help but laugh at the woman who just randomly starts doing ballerina

[TarEcthelion]

The speed of the movements messes with the sense of scale...

[NiwRam]

The military leaders when new money for testing experimentals is approved xD

[stopmotionproductions]

I have depression and temporary blindness after this

[pizzabagelnh]

I've seen pacrim, but for some reason, coming into this video, I was still half expecting to see Jaegers to car drift
