8:25 Cowboy being smart here - he knew the medic would get shot, even though he advised him not to go out. Cowboy was trying to pickup where the sniper was shooting from.
But then animal mother went to ask the medic where the sniper is then the medic pointed where the sniper was then animal mother searched around for anyone else
The Germans did this in WW2 when they pulled out of areas. They had one or two snipers getting left behind to tie down any infantry in pursuit for as long as possible
@ so many multi floor buildings in France were demolished just because British and American troops were worried that a German sniper might be within it

I don't know if this scene is meant to be comedic but it really cracks me up. Especially the poor CPR attempt, the slowmo YARGHH's and Animal Mother shooting everything
@Lockieez Yeah animal mother and his great machine gun faces. You just can't shoot another 60 with a normal look on your face. You got to have that mouth open. Gritty hell for leather look
I love how every comment here is spitting some military tactics and criticism but you have to remember this movie scene is set in 1968, the Battle of Hue City and was filmed in 1987.

Some trivia - all the palm trees you see? 200 of them flown in by Kubrick to the abandoned Bekton Gas Works in London. The holes in the buildings were put there by a wrecking ball at Kubrick's direction.
Well said matey, I remember a in-progress report on Film Whatever-it-was ('86?) with Barry Norman and I was fascinated how Kubrick had co-opted a bit of east London to cover for Hue. Genius vision. Cheers
@@bobbyperu4683 And they transported those same trees to Cliffe at Hoo in Kent to film the open country scenes. Only Kubrick could make the Kent countryside a stand-in for Vietnam.
The mistake 8-Ball made was exposing himself out in the open like that. You should find cover/concealment anyway possible. Especially with buildings and open windows and cracks. Highly dangerous territory.
Yeah this film gets lauded but there was clearly no research done into how soldiers perform their duties. Both the cpr scene and the soldier just wandering around out in the open are amateurish. A good director would've researched this shit.
All joking aside I had a very similar situation like this in Afghanistan. It was because of this scene I did not do what they did which was expose myself to enemy fire trying to help a fallen soldier
He tells joker to STFU because joker, being clearly inexperienced and new to combat, doesn't realise the impact "being lost" will have on troop morale. Cowboy deliberately uses the phrase "changing direction" first to not upset morale and second to save 8 ball from being berated by his peers (maintaining cohesion). Joker didn't understand any of this and it's the only time cowboy gets blunt with joker.
Eight ball had an M-60 belt wrapped on and left it on while he looked on his own for a way through. Was that normal? was 8-ball an assistant gunner? They left the full bandoliers on the dead Marines also. I would think that the Marine buddies would remove those also since they had used up a lot of ammo. Ok, I got it, it's only a movie.
The M60 burned up a lot of ammo very quickly. On the march, every member of the squad tried to carry as much ammo as they could carry for themselves and for the M60 .
More trivia.... When this was being filmed at the derelict Beckton Gas Works, in East London, I was undertaking Cold War Naval Control of Shipping briefings, to ships in the Port of London. We heard there were some ships laid up, awaiting cargo, in the closed Toyal Docks, so went round to see... At the East end, there were the palm trees that had been flown in (as comment below), and smoke, explosions and crap everywhere. We three bone-fide Naval Officers, in uniform, got told to "Get lost" by the film crew, before we made an unexpected appearance in 'Vietnam', and messed up the filming. Despite the other deficiencies mentioned below, the overall effects, in transforming a disused gas works, to 'somewhere in Vietnam' are pretty good. Just to reassure: No Naval Officers were harmed in the making of this film!
Incredible when you realise that this was all filmed on the Isle of Dogs and at Beckton Gasworks in East London. Kubrik was a stone cold genius, visually.
i remember seeing this as a kid of 9 maybe 11 years old it was on the tv and my dad was watching my mother was bit like maybe he should not watch my dad was like let him watch.but it stuck with me did not know till years later it was from this movie but i learnd there that if somebody gets shot and you cant see the shooter dont go help them first locate the shooter
Or he payed full attention and doesn't want to bruise the guys ribs which can happen pretty easily if you're giving CPR with enough force to be effective, that's the way it seemed too me.
Apparently Dorian Harewood (the actor that played '8 ball') pissed off Kubrick, so for revenge Kubrick had him do the shooting scene repeatedly - it was filmed over four weeks in winter and Harewood was freezing.
He is cool with the nickname "8 Ball" and is content to follow orders so one can doubt there is serious racism present. During this time the flag also had a more neutral connotation from southern rock music
The freakiest thing about this part of the movie is when it's revealed that the sniper doing all of this brutal shit and leading them into a trap is **spoiler** ... ... ... ... a goddamned kid.
One of my older friends was a counter sniper in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He told me most of the Viet Cong snipers he killed as a counter sniper were young females between the ages of 14 to 17 years old
I actually never thought about it before, but it is very silly they show the medic just immediately doing CPR. You would only perform CPR if the patients heart has stopped, which would be a weird assumption to make after someone’s been shot or hit by grenade shrapnel. The first thing I’d think you’d do was search for spots that are bleeding and stop them up
I went to see this with my Vietnamese friend, and it floored the both of us. I was ultra - prepared with my 'Air Cav. / Death From Above' T shirt, very appropriate. BTW I didn't feel so hot about my shirt and what it meant after the movie was over; couldn't get the Door Gunner and what he was doing out of my head, what a nightmare of a situation it was. Then I remembered hearing rumors going around talking about how some gunship pilots and gunners would make bets on how fast they could murder an entire village of people, that kind of evil. But then, it was a WAR. 'Die for peace with acts of war The beauty of death we all adore...' - Slayer 'Disciple'
I like this movie but why did the blood always look so fake back in the day? I get that most special effects are never going to be as good in older movies but it seems like they could have made to blood more realistic.

"WTF , am I doing here ?"
Gotta ask folks were any of these the same guys from basic training in the beginning? I know Joker and Cowboy were but not sure about the others
"Patrol under sniper fire." You man a person with an AK-47 that could just about hit 2 men at 80 yds.
Saw this in the movie theater like 1987. Good movie. I also like Hamburger Hill.
that is insane cpr, i thought it was a skit to start with
😂 cowboy says keep your eyes open you don't know what you're shooting at. No one seen a shot. Save your ammo. Nope😂
5:42 When shooting from inside a building you do not rest your rifle in the window-sill - unless you want to be spotted and killed
All filmed in The UK, in Battersea I believe
8-Ball? More like Zero-ball after that first shot.
4:49 as much as they supposedly shot this segment, they didn’t make sure to eliminate soldiering and marine standards 101 type shit? Something called “muzzle awareness” you are never pointing muzzle as a fellow soldier or marine like that and he’s flagging his entire squad
See the guys walking around there with their dust covers down bad way to carry your weapon
That machine Gunner 😅😅😅😅
I was at Hue. This is not even close. But that's Hollywood.
I'm no infantry man but i wouldn't walk without cover in a warzone
2:50 bros mag looks a bit odd huh?
Kind of shitty of joker to be more excited about joker being leader than their fallen brother in arms. Damnit Joker Drill was right about you
Damn did they really sent the black soilders oh dummy missions like that

Why did the sniper shoot 8-ball right after he had signaled the rest of the squad forward? If she would have held off she could have got all of them.
CPR guy is a lil sus. Says "He's not gonna make it". But keeps giving guy mouth to mouth. For 3 minutes straight.
he just wanted one last kiss is all
He slipped him the tounge I think
Why tf is Doc Jay pulling 8 ball further out into the open instead of going the opposite direction behind a building & cover??
