The "Major" and his lambchop sideburns was the deal breaker for me.
I was in Camp Pendleton during Marine Corps Recruit training when a staff sergeant announced that Vic Morrow had been killed filming a movie which we found later to be The Twilight Zone. Hurt me to my heart. We loved watching Combat as boys. I never forgave John Landis for being wreckless with his life and those poor little girls that died with him.
Actually there was was but only briefly. US Army infantrymen were issued camouflage uniforms during the Normandy campaign but the Army discontinued it because the solders were being picked off by their own men mistaking them for Waffen SS. The US did wisely issue them in the Pacific.
Those are the cleanest GIs I've ever seen.
Kind of a bummer why nobody watch this that much.
considering that this was a bunch of college kid's project, with a small budget and lack of resources, it is a very good film. True, there are some inconsistancies, such as exactly what size unit is involved(from what I saw, should have been a platoon), it does catch the feel and essence of battle. An overall pretty good effort.
Absolutely nothing like a Band of Brothers.
Band of brothers
I believe that the technical advisor got caught selling cookies out of season.
Good job no matter how they did it.....it tells a story that many men lived...and died for...
Holy Mismatched uniforms batman!
Awesome classic war movie..excellent job..I love💘💘💘💘💘💘💘this..thank you so much..
My marine uncles are watching with me. They say, it’s very realistic, yes even the shouting when the guy got shot. Most movies don’t show the pain and anguish of being shot, especially the screams.
A plastic shiny Thompson air soft machine gun replica from eBay. that shoots yellow bb's . really powerful .LOL, but is a really good short film i like it.
As a connoisseur of obscure craptastic war movies, I can say this is a 9.9/10. It is right up there with Eastern European direct to VHS low budget makework projects, like Hail the Battle of the Glorious Hero's Liberation of People's Republic of Turdistan from Nazi Devildog Invaders (director's cut). Good luck to the production crew of The Hill in your new career in the fast-food industry.
Smoking a cigarette while waiting in ambush? LOL.
sojutime that's actually pretty accurate
@@coilindonaghy8702 No it was not.
@@coilindonaghy8702 yea thats a no dawg, smell and light would give you away lol
Joshua Riddle doesn’t change the fact that it’s accurate
sojutime were u there??????????????????? Then shutnup
The 92nd Infantry served in Italy but did not serve in Northwest Europe, both theaters are considered separate despite their closeness geographically.
They've got some mighty shiny & clean weapons too........
Actually there was a camouflaged uniform for U.S. troops In Europe,But it was only briefly used during the summer of 1944 an was later taken off the line after more than several friendly fire incidents where soldiers mistook the men wearing them as German SS troops.
It's my bad for a college project, can't expect it to be the best war movie ever, since they don't have millions to spend. I say you guys did good for what you had. Just take out the "like band of brothers" thing.
like Band of Brothers and the Pacific - no its not...its nothing like that at all.
+K Louden i agree whit yu
I have a question, how is it like the Pacific if it's in Europe...
This is like Band of Brothers true story. They just don't have the Tom Hanks Money
This has been the best movie on urine Iv ever seen this was so well done I love it so much!
The guy with the sideburns was awsome
Not like Band of Brothers or Pacific -- Id say its more like Benny Hill or Gilligans Island ~
you can do better .Like where Gilligan
blackladder
At the hill, the LT has 10-12 men and splits them into company "A" and company "B". Companies have more than 6 men, a lot more.
Best home movie about WW2 exceeding anything prior by leaps and bounds! Comparative to any of the somewhat recent on TV and theaters!
Most of you cussing this film have no idea how difficult it is to produce, act in and direct a film with little or no experience. even post production is a remarkably time consuming effort. Also brave to put it on youtube where everyones an expert/ critic.
True, but they took their movie and compared it to "The Pacific" and "Band of Brothers". It was no where near, not even remotely close to anything those two movies have, which is pretty sad...
That could also be the case in this movie but I have seen in some photos of Normandy 1944 were a few men are wearing a U.S. army camouflage pattern that was intended for the campaign in Europe.
A successful role-play of real life battle in that hill. The college test project did well. May souls of martyr veterans rest in peace. We owe to them much for our today.
It's an excellent movie and realist you made, you have a talent !
lol am I seeing things or does the captain, or what ever he's supposed to be, have long sideburns lol? Goodness never knew how alternative the American army was in WW2 lol.
That's some of the cleanest uniforms and equipment iv'e ever seen, and sense when did they have camo in WW2.
Both the European and Pacific theatres had camo...The German paras in Europe and the USM in the Pacific...do not be surprised to see a German jet fighter either...
@@irvinelawrence2733 I believe they didn't have that pattern. In 1940 the army experimented with camo and in 1943 they did have reversibel uniforms with what is known as the frog pattern but it was only used in the South Pacific.
@@tommytwotoes3880 Nice shifting of the goalposts...your water polo ability is sharp...you asked "sense" sic (because i trust you mean SINCE), when did they have camo in WW2? Now you are claiming the pattern is the issue???anyhow...your admission shows you did some self assessment...cheerio and tally ho...
@@irvinelawrence2733 I guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was. Peace to you my friend and may your life be great.
Technical Tip: The BAR fires from an open bolt. That means trying to get it to shoot with the bolt forward will fail.
The camouflage jacket that you see on that US soldier isn't a Marine jacket.The US ARMY had a similar camouflage pattern that was issued to the soldiers of the US 2nd Armored division in Normandy.It was discontinued from service shortly after the invasion because of its similarity to the German SS camouflage pattern.The uniform pattern had cargo pockets on the pants and was also made in an all solid OD green
I'm not going to list every huge mistake in this crime against humanity, but I will list some suggestions in case the creator(s) of it decide to do something like this to people again, and in case they read these comments:
1. Officers don't salute enlisted men (they wait until the enlisted man salutes, then they return that salute).
2. No one salutes in a combat zone (unless they are intentionally trying to signal to a sniper who the officer is).
3. Soldiers did not have sideburns extending below the bottoms of their ears or hair that went over their ears. The "Major" is the most scraggly character of the whole cast and doesn't look or act like an officer at all.
4. The only time one is allowed to salute with something (like a cigarette) in one's right hand is NEVER! When carrying a rifle one may salute by presenting arms as outlined in the Soldier's Handbook (FM 21-100). I realize that the major wasn't saluting when he put his hand against the middle of the front of his helmet, but that was this film's version of a salute, and is just as unacceptable as if it had been a correct salute.
5. A salute is not rendered by placing the index finger of the saluting hand in the middle of the forehead as if to shield one's eyes from the sun. It's done by touching the right end of the right eyebrow with the tip of the index finger of the saluting hand. When saluting while wearing a helmet, one touches the edge of the helmet above the right end of the right eyebrow with the right forefinger. If these guys don't know that very basic part of military conduct, then they're obviously lousy re-enactors as well as lousy film actors.
6. There was no Secretary of the Army until the National Defense Act of 1947 took effect. Prior to that, the cabinet position over the military was the Secretary of War.
7. There is no such thing as the "Congressional" Medal of Honor, so no official letter would have used that terminology.
8. Enlisted men address officers as "Sir" (or "Ma'am," as the case may be).
9. A man that gets shot in the thigh and is evacuated to a hospital DOES NOT return to combat the very same day, and certainly not walking without a limp.
10. Brothers were not assigned to the same company by the time of the Normandy invasion.
11. German concentration camp guards did not lead infantry patrols in Normandy.
12. Germany did not have enough Tiger tanks in Normandy to form a Tiger battalion. In fact, according to unit records and individual histories, only three Tigers were encountered in France by all of the Allies, and one of those was loaded on a train car.
If there's a next time, you might consider hiring a military consultant, or at least speaking with someone that has served in the U.S. military and/or studied the Battle of Normandy.
Good points except for#12, approx. 150 Tiger 1& 2 were initially deployed to Normandy in 3 German schwere Panzer Abteilung. They were mostly deployed against British & Canadian in Caen area.
Which units were these phantom Tigers in Normandy allegedly part of?
Phantom? Wow Terry! Try a search engine called Google, lookup s.Pz.Abt. 503, s.SS-Pz.Abt. 101, s.SS-Pz.Abt. 102, &likely a few with Panzer Lehr. The Wehrmacht didn't deploy them against US forces, as they were used where the real threat was, Caen, against British and Canadians. Ever heard of Michael Wittman? He had a habit of kicking our arses in Normandy. Look him up, svp. There were good reasons for US getting the west beaches in Normandy.
Im sore Nicolas moran/ the cheiftan Said the us Only encounterd three tigers in france
stopped at 1:16 I couldn't handle how the LT said "wait for my signal and unleash hell"
+Andrew R That and calling it a BAH rather than a B.A.R.
+Robert Leather everyone is general patton on the internet these days lol.
+Andrew R It was absolute shit, I agree.
+Andrew R hahaha me too !
Band of Brothers movie here => twitter.com/7b59090ea63123637/status/822761361662820352
The major looked like he couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag.
Great movie for a low budget film yea a couple things were off but otherwise it was awesome.
The whole thing is the message so screw the haters you should be proud of it.
better than I could do.
I'd like to meet the 1000 people who "liked" this video. Let's give them a marathon weekend by watching the real Band of Brothers and follow it up with the Pacific. They will be blown away!! Anyone who's watched the two series cant possibly like this movie. I actually find it distasteful to the men and women who served and gave their lives in WWII.
when you do the ambush, soldiers must move quickly...obviously, this movie was not doing the performance level but still crediting it as Band of Brothers. The better you change the name of this project...much better if you call it The Lousy At War.
I will never know. Damn glad I never had to find out.
And just so you know I am a 16 year military veteran having served in 2 branches of the military including being a US Army paratrooper so I can positively tell you that whoever wrote this script has no idea what so ever of how people in the military speak.
You seemed to not have done your homework. As a one time soldier I can tell you that nobody questioned an officer. Even when wounded most kept there mouths shut and endured the pain until the medic juiced us up. Drama was never part of the plan. I was a butter bar and laid you the plan that everyone understood before execution.
truth^ They were actually used in the Normandy campaign as well, although camo was more akin to Marines the army did issue it to a few companies around the time of operation overlord.
"Horrible, terrible, not worth watching for even a second" - Siskel and Ebert
OMG!! This movie is the best war movie I've EVER seen!. Fuck Private Ryan or BOB this thing is so good that I won't even watch it all the way through. THATS how good it is.
World class acting BTW
Nice sideburns. Some good acting and an attempt to look as realistic as possible, only to be crapped upon by some people who didn't want to go the extra mile.
COMNENT 13:
Final assault faulty - Need to at least study infantry tactics to emulate them on film. One those squads should have laid down a base of fire while the other advanced. The advancing squad shoots for and objective or set time drops and lays down a new base of fire so that the origial squad laying down fire now advances past the squad firing. This leap frog advance keeps the enemies head down and allows you to advance
I saw one archival photo of an ETO US Army soldier wearing camouflage cover on his helmet. He was the only one wearing it It wasn't a snapshot from the series Combat either.
Being a college project this is not bad. Unfortunately there are quite a few inconsistencies that puts to question its seriousness-
great film.
heh, like Band of Brothers and The Pacific in that they have both kinds of camo. :) Nice job with that.
you should make it more of this.. it's great!
Ok
That camoflage looked very alike the USMC camoflage used in the pacific, while this one used in the movie obiously is a german Platanenmuster patern camoflage.
Altrough, US Troops were fascinated by german camoflage and took home many uniforms as souveniers so it is not impossible that a US solider just took one for himself, but i guess their officers wouldnt be happy if they saw em wearing it.
This was a fine video for a college project. I really enjoyed it. Not to be picky but it could have been better had the major knew when and how to salute and how to smoke. The dialogue was mostly period with a few contempory slips but did not detract from the feel of the movie. Music was gvery ood too. Great job of keeping the memories alive! John E. Nevola - The Last Jump.
There actually was, just not in combat as much as the other units..they were mainly reserve troops doing grunt work. but they were there. Alot of african american vets got mad from saving private ryan showing no african americans at all.
Uniforms and gear are brand new...
Nice work in obtaining the period correct weaponry....
Here come the Germans in a 'purple heart formation' obviously copied from the yanks. the pioneers of modern infantry tactics. That smokescreen from a Lucky Strike cigarette is brilliant.
U gotta do more that was so cool
yup. hes right. also there were blacks in engineer battalions in europe as well
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it.
23:14 STG 44 the grandfather of all automatic rifles
That would be the Federov Avtomat. The STG-44 is more like the eldest brother.
Pretty damned good for amateurs. The German camouflage was impressive indeed and accurate. More accurate than much German camouflage. The only real flaw was academic, too many over weight soldiers.But I'd give you an A for this any day.
Yeah totally agree. Like "Get over there" and "Why didnt you get to anderson first!" were totallly world war one terms
Attention to detail is lacking, and as much as I dislike nit-picking, things like sideburns on a Major, the mismatched gear and 3 stripes on the medic, while possible, isn't probable. A bit more time getting details goes a long way in any military film. Spend the extra time next time out and the final product will shine. It's just plain worth it. Study some film and read a few books to get the little things right and the big things fall into place. Still entertaining, but it could have been better with more attention to detail.
How do you get shot 1st when you have the element of surprise on your side? LOL
+Mark Leadbeater Easily when your men have no field discipline of any kind. No one listens to the officers orders. One is holding a lit cigarette sitting on ambush. And the anti-tank team pointlessly breaks cover to use an anti-tank weapon against infantry in the open- which is totally useless, by the way.
@@adamhuberty3442 In other words, by being American. Their real army is pathetic but regarded as super-heroes so what else can you expect from a school project?
2nd ID didn't wear camo. 2nd Armored Division, did. Along with some guys from the 30th ID. After some embarassing friendly fire incidents, they ditched the camo pattern.
Already a war film called this. With an unknown actor called Sean Connery.
1965.
my father was an army and i proud of him
here we go again...lovely new uniforms clean as a whistle...when will they ever learn
They came from a stand down & refit
Guess the major didn't want to cut his sideburns prior to shooting the movie.
just so you know, the lower ranks salute 1st then the higher ranking officer does.
It is more like brothers in a band, a garage band that is
The Major had a choice, shave his sideburns, or attend that in depth "How to pretend your smoking a cigarette" class. Odds are he skipped both because he explained "If you want my skilled acting, you will take me like I am!"
At least the equipment was authentic.
Just like band of brothers , its uncanny !!!!!
+redhamma LOL
+redhamma Hey, they did steal the music and it was the same war. Give them credit for trying to copy an epic eries, just not much of it. Good for a laugh, the fist 30 seconds anyway.
Pretty good for final project and it was probably fun to make. I certainly wouldn't want to have my college required "theatre" final project online... Not quite Band of Brothers, but I bet your budget wasn't as much either. Nice job.
jeez you'd think ppl expect a short film from Paramount or something....not bad...technicalities with tactics, acting etc but, I think the film work is solid
+lakota164 If it was titled, half assed college video project, it would be somewhat acceptable.
When titled *_"Like Band of Brothers and The Pacific"_* Its no different than me saying my singing is *_Like Beyonce and Mariah mixed into one_* Then bleating out a song like a cat being tortured.
So bad it hurts.
The term 'klicks' was not used before Vietnam.
the term "kilometers and/or "Klicks" was used in WWII...spellled with "K" not "C"
i agree with you this isnt a bad short film considering its like a Homemade one or "B" rated production...better than what i could do lol
Good effort. Better than some Hollywood productions I've seen! Ignore the nay sayers.
That sounds like close combat audio. Some War game i've heard before. Men of Wa, maybe
Awesome job! quick question: was the audio ADR?
why would the guy with the bazooka think that was the right weapon for that situation...I was with this vid after that.
I randomly advanced and saw less than 5 seconds of 5 places knew it would be terrible
That guy around the 6:00 mark talking about how helmets are good for stopping bullets...bad writing. Helmets weren't made for stopping bullets, they are to stop shrapnel. They have stopped bullets before...but if you've ever taken one out to the range, you'll see just how little they do stop.
Wanaume wa nguvu ,kazi kazi
Very well done... kept my interest. My only criticism is that the uniforms looked a little too "clean" for a grungy battlefield.
note that I said Black Infantry Battalions, their were black tank and tank destroyer and artillery battalions and work units and supply units but no Black Infantry Battalions. Please read my statements completly
Great short movie. Would like to see more ww2 flicks.
I was not aware that the Germans had the sturmgewehr 44 in Normandy?
DOH!!!
The Americans didn't have bayonet lugs on their 30 carbines in 1944 either. Good catch on the Sturmgeweher.
you are correct
COMMENT 14:
The yelling WWI charge from the woods might have worked coming out of the trenches but not against MP-44 and MG-34 fire. Good job with the MP-44 by the way.
this is damn good for a budget flim.
0:30 Love the out of focus to focus attempt for artistic purposes that then fails to actually get sharp focus.
0:36 "War is hell... look at my poor fingernails"
COMMENT 2:
1. The LT has a 1943 Field Jacket that is about 4sizes too small for him. Tries to make it look like it fits by rolling up the sleeves and wearing his web belt like a cowboy on his hips. Anyone who has worn those types of web gear know that they ride only correctly above the hips not like a gunslingher from he OK Corral. I can only guess that it is to make the jacket appear to be like a 1941 battle jacket-Doesn’t work
I don't like to be critical and like to encourage people, but it would benefit any future military projects to consult someone with some military background and WWII infantry squad tactics, uniforms, and jargon.
The worst acting I've ever seen 'Like Band of Brothers and The Pacific' my backside!!
This small of a unit and they have a bazooka, 3 thompsons two rifles and a b.a.r. and no other gear what ?? Well it was interesting enuff for me to watch the whole thing.
