I loved the Tiger scene in Fury.
Favourite battle scene has to be Waterloo from 1970. I'm not even a history buff for Napoleon but the scale the details they had to perform for the final scene is mindblowing.
holy cow! I knew about killroy but I did miss the detail on Greyhound! kudos !
The scene from fury is shit….why would the tiger try to charge when he is in a better hidden position?
It’s amazing how “Kilroy was here” turned into “Wagner loves the C*ck”
The Kilroy drawings were a ripoff of the Australian Foo was here that the Australians used during the First World War.
Das Boot is actually pronounced … dahs boat.
This is one of the worst line reads I’ve ever head. Jesus.
Nothing about American sniper is accurate what so ever 😅
In Full Metal Jacket, the scene with Joker, Rafterman and the marine indiscriminately gunning down villagers from a helicopter was based on a real experience co-writer Michael Herr went through while he was in Vietnam. The dialogue is nearly verbatim of what was actually said during the exchange and was originally from Herr's book Dispatches.
The battle scenes in Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan.
in Grayhound the cartoon is Chad ( A British meme) and the Wording is American meme. Chad first appered with the phrase Wot No….
"…knocked it out of the park… or sea… or something."
I believe the expression he was looking for was, "…blew it out of the water."
It’s pronounced “more-ANN”. Believe me, I know.
Left out:
1) Kelly's Heroes-a lot of American war equipment was abandoned in Europe after WW2. The Czechoslovakian Army still had American tanks, trucks and carts in service in the late 1960's (loaned to the film production company), when the movie was shot.
2) Tora Tora Tora-A number of collectors had American fighters, bombers and other planes that were loaned to the film production company for the movie. As for Japanese planes, American T-6 trainers were modified to Japanese dive bombers and torpedo bombers. Replica Zero fighters were built for the movie. These "Japanese" planes make the airshow circuit every year.
In The King's Man, during the night knife fight in no man's land, one German soldier has a 3 sided blade. Which after WWI were banned by the Geneva Convention because it's difficult to treat wounds from them.
I've been meaning for quite a while to drop a line about "All Quiet". It's horrible for a number of reasons historical accuracy among them. I mean think about what ur saying for a moment
In what way is a hammer going to remove mud?
I don't wanna be a deuch but does this make sense to you? After this the German army did not re use dead men's uniforms and my personnel favorite coffins sprinkled with quick lime. U put the stuff on a corpse to speed decomposition and keep vermon away how does it do this when it's not touching flesh? And if ur gunna make Paul a machine gunner he has todo it throughout the film, it was a specialty. The replacements all dead of gas is b.s
All of the combatants replaced units not individuals. It is just such a horrible film u could do a vid on how bad it is
I always liked & respected the Trench Battle scene in the original All’s Quiet on the Western Front. It was released in 1930. They knew so many had fought in the Great War so they had to be accurate.
I taught High School History for decades. When I taught WWI I always used that battle scene when I taught about trench warfare
🎬🎥🎞🧙🏻♂
Opening D-day scene of Saving Private Ryan.
7:49 that’s Richard Tyson not the guy you’re talking about.
Fave scene is the broken arrow in we were soldiers. The napalm billowing up in the theater screen was pure shock and awe
"Boot" is pronounced "Boat"
If looking to do a similar one down the road, a young looking Audie Murphy played himself in the movie To Hell and Back based on Audie Murphy’s book of the same title based on his experiences in WW2. Almost hard to believe he was even younger than he currently was when the actual events happened.
I saw 5 of 10 movies. I actually watched mostly the WWII movies and the WWI movies on this list.
