- Merrill's Marauders (1962) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #MerrillsMarauders
The place: World War II Burma. The mission: Drive a fatal wedge between an enemy linkup. The troops: the 5307th Composite Unit, led by Brig. Gen. Frank Merrill (Jeff Chandler) and manned by Stock (Ty Hardin), Chowhound (Will Hutchins), Kolowicz (Claude Akins) and other young dogfaces who, after a few weeks of basic training, have the fate of the world loaded on their backs. Director Samuel Fuller, whose later The Big Red One is a benchmark work about GIs in World War II's European theater, turned to the war in the Pacific for Merrill's Marauders. Few moviemakers capture life among the grunts as well as Fuller. He brings you up close and personal to the intense, gritty heroics of our World War II combat veterans.
Directed By Samuel Fuller
Starring Jeff Chandler, Ty Hardin, Peter Brown

My grandfather was in Merrill's Marauders
He must have been a great man.
@@GhostRanger5060 he was. He died when I was six years old, but he was a hard working family man and he loved his grandkids
I heard that Merrill was brought up on charges for abuse of authority lying to his men practically killing them without relief.
@@johnnyangel9163 The troops were led to believe that this was essentially a suicide mission,....... from what I've heard.
@@voicevitality7197 Fresh meat from the sausage grinder that was Guadalcanal.
My dad said half of them were down with dysentery, the other half, half dead from shell shock.
Pop said they were the most raggedy looking group of lost souls he had ever seen.
Most of the Japanese soldiers dying on the breastworks reminds me of my days as a reenactor. If it was hot you died under a shade tree. The breastworks must have been soft dirt.
Must have been fun!
@@Gutsy9 Imagine playing soldier with thousands of grown up children!!
@@darrellhamner4608 Fantastic ! We used to play soldier as a kid with as many boys as we could find.
Claude Akins actually fought in the Pacific and in Burma
Sam Fuller....nuff said
One of the hokiest battle scenes ever filmed
Really? Do you expect “Saving Private Ryan” special effects to happen in the 1950s?

Salvaje ataque banzai a la bayoneta de los japos..

what they needed was a small tactical nuke...
My Great Uncle was one of Merrils Marauders
Merril's Marauders started their mission in Burma with some 3,000 men and when they were disbanded 18 months later there were less then 200 able to fight. The group was primarily US Army but with some Indian Army elements too (Burma Rifles I think), mostly volunteers I think. The war in Burma was extremely nasty and it wouldn'thave been won without the Indian Army. In 1942, after Burma was overrun by Japanese, Kachin tribesman fought a two year guerrilla war siding with Brits, Indians, and Americans (less the thousand) against 40,000 Japanese. This Burma war is grossly underreported. A few decent films were made about the Burma Theater. Objective Burma is a 1944 movie was a Raul Walsh effort with Errol Flynn and it would have been hard to see it and then feel sympathy about the atomic bombings. This film told of the reconquest of Burma in 1944. Then there is a 1959 effort staring Frank Sinatra and Steve McQueen, Never So Few, a film about Kachin and Allied commandos fighting a jungle war. The Bridge Over The River Kwai was a 1958 film with Alec Guiness and William Holden that concerned the building by Allied POWs of a railroad through Burma. All films depict events that although fictionalized did occur.
Another special forces group operating deep penatration raids into Burma were the "chindits" the brain child of a British officer by name of Orde Wingate who took also took the fight to the Japanese in Burma.
The British lost their colonise in Hong Kong, Singapore, Mayalisa and Burma. The Japanese had pushed back British and commwealth forces to Indian burmese boarder at two points kohima and imphal were the Indian and British garrisons took and beat a vastly superior Japanese force.The fight for these lost territories was long and bloody and yes there were some American units like the maunders and Chinese troops who helped pushed back the impreal Japanese tide.
@@chrisholland7367 any good books about Wingate and the Chindits?
@@patrickh9937 I've read alot on the history of the campaign in the far east from the fall of Hong Kong, Singapore etc but unfortunately nothing on the chindits.

One of my all time favorite movies when I was a kid.
One of the most underrated war movies.
I agree and this is a great scene.
One of the most underrated campaigns in WW11
God bless the men of Merrill's Marauders -- when America was a great nation filled with great men. Rangers Lead the Way!
Yep , the Americans winning the war all on their own again , and a again . Ha !!
America is still a great nation and it is still filled with great people... just look at this "Tiger King guy".....
@@welshpete12 You people simply believe what you want and then you spew sour grape juice. Jeez!
I suppose it's for the added drama, but no defensive force waits to open fire until the enemy is almost upon it.
That's what would happen in real life , save your ammunition until you can kill !
@@welshpete12 and then there's no time for plan b. You better be right the first time. I wouldn't put my men in a big hole and unless they're SEALs, not with their backs to the water.
Yeah and the MGs waiting until they were that close?? Who starts the firing ? The M1 Carbine. The "rifle" with the crappiest range.
I wonder why the deaths are so over dramatic in old war movies?
Gus Robert Carlson 6/29/1924 - 5/21/2015. US Army Detachment 101, OSS.
My father was in command of the small group of men at the tip of the spear on this campaign.
He rarely spoke of it. He was involved in a number of operations in Burma, the attack on the airfield
at Mytkna was the most famous and the most grueling.
Кто гранаты бросает? Как красиво враг добегает до стенки и падает!!!! Да им патроны не завезли!
Could have been a good battle scene but marred by overacting! 1:22 for example. A small explosion happens, a second later the Japanese soldier throw the rifle in the air and jumps...delayed shock I guess. All the guns the American's had and the Japanese get within feet of the defensive perimeter. 1:39. "Dead" Japanese soldiers still moving after being shot dead. Obvious safe falling down. Japanese soldiers throwing the hands up in the air when they are shot! "Japanese" soldiers looking more like American soldiers! Despite this it's still worth watching.
I was thinking why wouldn't the Japanese get up on the high ground at 1:25 and pin them down with gunfire from that position, while have other units flank around the back ,
@@bluemouse5039 Well, it is a Hollywood movie designed more for action than logic. But I do wish the "Japanese" soldiers weren't caucasian and wore authentic Japanese uniforms and not American uniforms.
@@jeffjerome4805 Agree - the uniforms were really off...
Damn doctors, blocking all the glory that is A M E R I C A!!
I always kinda cringe when I see actors going at it with REAL bayonets on rifles. I've been on movie sets and people accidentally injuring each other, even during choreographed fight scenes, always made me worry. LOL. Sorry guys, you're WAY more likely to get stabbed during a movie shoot than shot accidentally. Brandon Lee in the crow was a 1 in a million freak accident. Swords, bludgeons and bayonets are WAY more dangerous to the actors.
An Army buddy of mine was a skilled swordsman. I asked him one day where he learned his skills since we aren't exactly being trained in that anymore. He said he took a drama course in college called Theatrical Swordplay that taught how to fight realistically plus all the safety stuff similar to what you describe. What a cool idea for a college course. I went to the wrong college!
That's idiotic. No movie company uses real swords and knives. There are "real" ones in scenes that dint require fighting. Rubber for fight scenes. Its called insurance.
God bless those brave Men!
Jeff Chandler's last movie.
Elaine Evans Sadly!😞🇺🇸
Probably his best role
Sad But True. R.I.P. J.C.
Died during back surgery.
@@johnnyangel9163 I Heard.
随分と間抜けな軍が突っ込んできたね 間違っても「ＪＡＰＡＮ」では無いよね こんな間抜けな突撃はしないよ
馬鹿にするのもいい加減にしろ
I Liked the Shootout Scene at the Maze Factory.
Why we never hear more about them I will never know. Is it because they were United States Army instead of USMC ???
Well there is only so much press available and the Corps got it all...
In the US Army Ranger community and among Special Forces they are absolutely legendary and well-known.
Or is it because most Americans are lazy and don't read their own history. I've known about Merrill's Marauders since I was a boy. Why? Because I study. And I'm a United States Marine with a father who was WWII U. S. Army. And the Burma operations were primarily British by the British 14th Army. American general Joseph Stilwell commanded American and Burmese forces there. The Marine Corps primary objectives were seizing the islands in the Pacific. Burma was the China/ Burma theeater, sub theater of the Pacific Theater of Operations.
@@fourseasons2349 the Marine Corps wasn't assigned to the China/ Burma Theater. Totally different operations. And the China Burma India Theater was primarily British 14th Army.
Mitchell Jarjoura, my grandfather was a MM.
The piled up rows of rocks would have warned any attacker.
Sería una grata sorpresa poder ver este filme que narra las hazañas de estos hombres en Birmania durante la segunda guerra.
Loving You Jeff C.
Why did you noise reduce the blu-ray?
I think it's a pretty good movie, but the gun sound effects sound like pea shooters.
Have you ever been on an Army rifle range?
@@davidfindlay6841 No but I've been on a local rifle range. I've been around guns all my life.
@@shusterandy Not the same .
@@davidfindlay6841 I know that an army range wouldn't sound like pea shooters.

oh no...
why this movie with 2 black bars on the TV screen top = bottom...
better full screen
That is full screen, cinemascope is a widescreen film technology used back in the day.
@@pdxyyz
hi P...
'
then movie company must fix it right full screen on the ground wall...
no black bars
@@bestamerica That is full screen. That is the height to width ratio of cinemascope films. You are seeing the full picture based on the technology used. Changing the aspect ratio to remove the black bars will remove parts of the picture and is not giving you the full view of the film. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CinemaScope
@@pdxyyz its still used today. Most movies are letterbox. And most tvs are 16/9 on their screens so you don't see them. But there are plenty that are letterbox.
Rubbish
