Great movie! I loved it because there were no professional actors--just real soldiers, and it was filmed entirely in Korea, towards the end of the war. I am a big Korean War History buff, and I am surprised that I have never seen this before.
As a Korean, I salute the allied forces, including the U.S. soldiers who fought in the 1950-53 Korean War. The country you protected with blood, sweat, and tears is now a wonderful country.

People don’t realize the United States lost over 30,000 troops within 3 years of Korea. In Vietnam the United States lost over 52,000 in around 10 years. It was no joke. My grandfather was wounded there on November 17th, 1950. He was with the 7th. Inf Div 17 Inf Regiment and was in the initial landing at Inchon. I myself am an Operation Enduring Freedom veteran and served in the Marine Corps and Army. Bless all who serve!
No, no. US Soldiers 36,940(KIA) didn't die and still live in Korean people's mind. Even though I was born after Korean War, I tear up whenever I read battle stories of Americans against Communists under poorest and hardest conditions. Therefore Korean people think of Americans as a true friend and anytime welcomed.
Good film and outstanding picture quality. And lots of real US military hardware such as Pershing tanks, F84 fighter bombers and Panther jets in action. Never actually seen M2 carbine fire on full automatic before. And any movie showing the Commies losing can’t be bad.
I didn't even know, until recently, that the M2 carbine could be fired on full automatic! They should have replaced the M1 for all servicemen, in WWII! Much lighter & held more ammo! (Served NYARNG 1963-1969)
I am an Imjin Scout, 1/17th inf., 2nd ID. We manned the forward posts in the dmz on either side of Panmumjom, Collier, Olette, were named after sgts who died there in the last days of the war. Those 2 railroad bridges over the Imjin River (one destroyed, the other left standing) were eventually renamed Freedom Bridge and I've been over it many times. Freedom is not free, never forget! FREDRICKSBURG! BUFFALO'S!
My 90+ year old neighbour was there also and he agrees with your dad as far MacArthur is concerned. He regaled me with stories about the horrible was and I well remember the vitriol he heap on MacArthur's character. I don't remember what he said, if anything, about Gen. Clark.
I was only an Airman and normally I don't like being an armchair general but General MacArthur really scrwd us over in Korea and cost the lives of a lot of future Koreans in the North under the Kim dynasty.
My dad hated Bug-Out Doug with a passion for prolonging the war with his stupidity. Wasting thousands of lives for nothing. Plus arrogant pricks always get negative reactions. He was really glad when Gen Ridgeway took over. Ridgeway had the street creds from WW2 and was thought of as a soldier's general. And carrying a hand grenade or two on his rig was a cool touch.
My dad was infantry in the 7th ID. He was a late comer having reported to the draft board and shipped out circa January 18 to Camp Roberts then to Korea.
My Dad, the late/retired SFC Eddie Simms served his first overseas assignment in Korea. Known as the ROK!!.................The Republic Of South Korea that was 1958, he was assigned to the 1st Bn 12th Cavalry Regiment 1st Cavalry Division. I was born 31 July 1958...RIP.
I spent 2 tours on the DMZ in 72 and 85. I am here to tell you that combat there had to be a real SOB. The terrain and the cold are unbelievable. I love Korea and the people they are incredible. 😊
My Dad got shot in the Butt in Korea refused his Purple Heart. He suffered Mentally from his Service but in his Day no one Really cared. His Brother just turned 95 WW2- KOREAN -Vietnam 3 War Vet!
I would never of worded it that way ... respect to Your hero Father ..you sound so complacent about it all.......... shameful...... But I salute your Father🎚️🇺🇸
The introduction that the general gave reminded me of how far our country has fallen because the values and patriotism of which he spoke doesn't seem to resonate with many in this country, especially with those who want to destroy or incriminate our history, culture, and ideals which made us the greatest nation ever, and with those who really have no stake or investment here, and are in it just for what they can get out of it for free with little or no effort. 😢
Interesting opening with the former Ground Commander take on the movie. A good look at small unit action in Korea. See comment below about the individuals in the film, always good to see when they use real soldiers. Good side glimpses of the negotiations at Panmunjom from reporters perspective. I enjoyed the short glimpse into the coordination at the JOC requesting air support and the Division TOC for Fire Support. Seldom do you see in a movie slices of action at Headquarters. Filmed close enough to the Korean War for veterans to appreciate the effort put into the film.
So great to see the intro given by Mark Clark, one of the greatest 1st consuls ever to come out of America. This film has so much in it. The discourse within the press pool is a study in the decline of the 4th estate itself; loyalty wise that is. The senior fellow's remarks to the novice reporter that cynics like him should be put down like a lamed horse was very prophetic, as to what in the end it would all lead to. Senator Barry Goldwater, who was visiting Vietnam shortly after losing the 64 election to LBJ, certainly echoed those Korean ceasefire reporters words when he dressed down CBS's Morley Safer; "... If I were here there would be no g**** or reporters left." I don't know how many films had been around at this time showing evidence of Harry Truman's executive order on desegregation, but this must have had an impact; most likely polarizing all viewers. The ending was quite heartbreaking yet beautiful in its own way. The final patrol. The final death being the Korean soldier. Now the new Korea is born.
I'd recommend documentaries about the Battle of Yoltong it tells how they won the war. How they were able to reclaim SK was amazing. It's 1000 vs 40k. I thought documentaries are boring but I enjoyed it. Some of it contains accounts from true heroes.
My dad was stationed at Seoul S.K. in Sept 1945. He was lucky, did not see any fighting there against the Japanese. He came back to the US around 1946? He never did tell us when. So he would have seen Seoul how it was then though.
Must have been a "fire sale" on .30 carbines - LOL. M1 and M2 carbines were generally issued only to officers, some NCOs, radio operators, rear echelon, etc. Not a main issue infantry weapon. The "onward and onward" chorus was "ad nauseam." Did this "battle" supposedly have anything to do with the "cease fire?" There has, to this day, never been an end to this war.

I was born 2/7/53. I was stationed at Kunsan AFB Aug 98-99. I was with a PATRIOT battery. Boy,the AF people were happy to have two PATRIOT batteries " keeping the door open."
@@SuperColonel91 That M1 or M2 were pretty much a POS and I carried an M2 carbine and while I sure would not want to be shot with any carbine . While I never saw any Thompson sub machine guns, I did see the M3 grease gun, at least that what the Gi's called them. While in Vietnam a soldier recovered an M3 grease gun that the tankers carried in the tank, due to space limitations. The soldier had difficulty getting it to fire fully auto, so as a officer, I just had to help him get to shoot, so like an idiot I screwed the barrel all the way in and intended to show him how to fire off a round and back the barrel off after each round. WRONG after just the first round fired, the weapon blew up and the breach cover went flying and the weapon was totally damaged. The upset soldier yelled "Thanks a lot Lt, hell I could have done that. We were all issued the M16 at that time. Even the M166 went through a tough time and mine experienced a empty shell sticking in the chamber after it was fired with the extractor striping off the rim of the fired round.
Look closer, the private did salute first. With his backside, it's a little hard to see. Normally, soldiers don't salute in combat areas as it points the leader out to the enemy. And the only time an officer would salute an enlisted man is if the subordinate won the Medal of Honor.
In Texas they don't have a high opinion of General Clark after what he did to the 36th "Texas" Division during the Rapido River crossing in the Italian Campaign during WW2 and his grandstanding by seizing Rome instead of pursuing the Germans which actually could have ended the war early in Italy which cost the lives of countless American, British and other Allied soldiers plus Italian civilians.
Interesante filme del género bélico sobre uno de los conflictos posteriores a la segunda guerra mundial, por enmarcarse en la "guerra fría", ya que las operaciones militares se limitarían en sus máximas expresiones, al perderse al principio de la misma toda iniciativa de avance real, por un estancamiento de casi tres años de ardua batalla hasta el cese el fuego efectivo. Siendo así la característica central de la guerra de Corea. Muchos historiadores la califican como "la guerra olvidada", la cual, a todas luces, sería el de plantar cara de las fuerzas de la ONU frente a las comunistas para evitar el derrumbe de ese país a la esfera de dominio de las fuerzas rojas. Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.
The intro scenery is not something my dad would've seen. He arrived in spring of 1953 at Pusan then boarded a train going (not many options to go) north, then somewhere they transferred to trucks up to the Imjin River region. Once he got on the train he never saw a building, even a farm shack or trees standing. Everything had been blown to pieces.
The Koreans supplied a large number of soldiers in the US ranks. They were called KATUSA'S Korean Augumentation To United States Army. We had 4 in every 10 man squad. The scene where they say he spoke Chinese is a bit contrived since China has many languages and many Chinese cannot speak to each other, even unto today.
Smart ass befits you. Were you even a bit informed you'd know the Korean War never ended. It is only in cease-fire, no treaty has ever been signed to end hostilities. Americans until recently still die on the dmz, and Koreans do too.
This is a great show. The one thing I am impressed, is the one soldier is American African. You do not see that in older movies. The actor is awesome. I wish more war movies integrated racial diversity. After all different men and women served in the military, all skin tones, and personalities. God bless America.
One thing I don't understand. North Korea invaded South Korea, but that was merely a civil war between two regimes within one country...why UN jumped in and support South Korea?
Both north and South Korea was a colony of japan until 1945. The US and Soviet Union compromise to diving Korea in half temporarily. There were plans to hold general peninsula wide elections, but the Soviets feared pro American candidate, president Rhee was going to win and rejected any elections. So no one knew what to do. North Korean dictator, Kim ilsung unilaterally sneak attacked the south. While the Soviets didn’t reject Kim, they were not going to get directly involved with the invasion. Meanwhile in the south, there were some American troops present. At the time, the UN Security Council consist of US, France, UK, China, Russia (still the same countries today which were the victors of WW2). China was recognized by the UN as the republic of China (Taiwan) and the Soviet Union did not vote because they withdrew from the UN out of protest. This gave unanimous decision by the UN to get involve with direct combat. UN article 39 “the security council shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace. Breach of peace, or act of aggression and shall make recommendations or decide what measures in accordance to article 41, 42.”
Because communism did prove to be the real enemy of people across the world. Now it is defeated and in decline. Soon China will lose its communism as well.
I thought you weren’t supposed to salute in the field because of snipers. As a kid during that time I thought the Korean War was known as the forgotten war.
Lt. Roy Thompson passed in the summer of 2013 at 84 I think. He would have been in his 90s now ~ it is wild to think about. He was my grandfather. I'm very proud of all of them.
I spent a year in korea in nineteen sixty seven, and I was with the seventh infantry division, the same guys that they're showing now the hourglass patch
The Korean war is technically not over even today. There is a cease fire that the Communists break from time to time. When I was there in the 80s, as a Marine, the leader of N Korea (Kim Jong IL) promised to enjoy the new year in Seoul S Korea, and that put tensions high.
without pilipino soldier they did not win the korean war.ten thousand pilipino versus 40 thousand chines soldier..but the credit goes to american.american and other alies pull back. the pilipino soldier still depend their post fighting 40 thousan red army..
@@robertttttt716 splitting hairs a bit. Rounding up numbers in support of national pride is a time honored tradition. I am not filipino but have some knowledge of their contribution in Korea. Their record is one they can feel rightly proud of.
Oh really? So Korea was an agricultural nation in the 50's, now it is one of the most advanced industrialized nations in the world. I was there in 75ź76. It has changed dramatically since then.
This is a Staged docudrama done in the rear areas well behind the front lines. All fighting at that time was called the Outpost War phase of the Korean War. It shows open field action on the back slope and rolling fields not the actual area on the trench lines on top of the hills where real fighting was going on. This would be akin to the information films done in WW2.
My countrymen (New Zealanders) fought in the Korean War (25 pounder artillery) and saw extensive action after the Chinese launched their massive surprise attack, eventually the superior firepower of the US and their allies pushed them back, but because of China's refusal to admit defeat, even today(70+years)it is still considered a 'cease-fire' and proves that China couldn't be trusted then and shouldn't be trusted now, they couldn't beat the allied forces on the battlefield so they set out to destroy them economically by producing everything cheaper than could be made by other countries, only in the last few years has the world's economy's woken up to China's intentions and started to move manufacturing back to their own country's, ensuring work for its own people instead of enriching the Chinese Communist party.
My father worked on those types of helicopters. He was stationed at New River Air Station, NC He said out of his graduating (USMC) platoon one guy was sent admin and he was sent to aircraft maintenance. Everyone else was sent to war. He got aircraft maintenance (helicopters) because he was color blind and wouldn't be confused about colored electrical wires at night under artificial light. That's what kept him alive stateside.
My dad fought in Korea during the war. He said it was the coldest place he had ever been. Most people R unaware tt the Korean War never ended. The fighting stopped bcz there was an armistace. There has never been a peace treaty. Every American shd B aware of this, bcz 2 paraphrase Donald Trump, "Rocket Man," knows this.

The soldier had difficulty getting it to fire fully auto, so as a officer, I just had to help him get to shoot, so like an idiot I screwed the barrel all the way in and intended to show him how to fire off a round and back the barrel off after each round. WRONG after just the first round fired, the weapon blew up and the breach cover went flying and the weapon was totally damaged. The upset soldier yelled "Thanks a lot Lt, hell I could have done that. We were all issued the M16 at that time. Even the M166 went through a tough time and mine experienced a empty shell sticking in the chamber after it was fired with the extractor striping off the rim of the fired round.
13:26 Unusual to see an officer salute an enlisted man first.
Look closer, the private did salute first. With his backside, it's a little hard to see. Normally, soldiers don't salute in combat areas as it points the leader out to the enemy. And the only time an officer would salute an enlisted man is if the subordinate won the Medal of Honor.
@@inquirer1016 Thanks Inquirer, I stand corrected.
Had the enlisted man been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, and he was wearing it, then an officer is obligated to salute him first.
My late cousin fought in that war. Almost got his right arm shot off by enemy fire.
When my father watch this, his only comment was “there are too many whole trees.” He was there early ‘52 to late ‘54.
*We lost the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, & the Afghan War. American soldiers who died for nothing is not a reason to feel "proud".*
Proud to have served at 10th Mountain (LI) where the main welcome hall (for new soldiers) is named after this great General - Mark Clark.
Colorado remembers and says hey!
In Texas they don't have a high opinion of General Clark after what he did to the 36th "Texas" Division during the Rapido River crossing in the Italian Campaign during WW2 and his grandstanding by seizing Rome instead of pursuing the Germans which actually could have ended the war early in Italy which cost the lives of countless American, British and other Allied soldiers plus Italian civilians.
@Terratiger - Great ? No .
Interesante filme del género bélico sobre uno de los conflictos posteriores a la segunda guerra mundial, por enmarcarse en la "guerra fría", ya que las operaciones militares se limitarían en sus máximas expresiones, al perderse al principio de la misma toda iniciativa de avance real, por un estancamiento de casi tres años de ardua batalla hasta el cese el fuego efectivo. Siendo así la característica central de la guerra de Corea.
Muchos historiadores la califican como "la guerra olvidada", la cual, a todas luces, sería el de plantar cara de las fuerzas de la ONU frente a las comunistas para evitar el derrumbe de ese país a la esfera de dominio de las fuerzas rojas.
Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.
BATTLE TAXI
Great Korean war movie!
Starring Sterling Hayden
My grandfather fought this war
And the north koreans are still wearing basicly the same uniform.
0:17 LoVe your show Thanks ❤
Without us military S-korea became community society .
Now my age 68 years old and living in Korea. thank you us army navy airforce.
Good show
Good film BUT audio is very low - then the ads come on and blast your eardrums out
@12:45
Couldn't get away with that in movies today
For real.
The intro scenery is not something my dad would've seen. He arrived in spring of 1953 at Pusan then boarded a train going (not many options to go) north, then somewhere they transferred to trucks up to the Imjin River region. Once he got on the train he never saw a building, even a farm shack or trees standing. Everything had been blown to pieces.
1.02 nice clips of the M-26 Pershing.
52:00 Damn fool is in a combat zone and whistling to give away his position.
14:32 We know what Carson's comment meant.😝
Merci🙋♂️
That patrol could have been all wiped out there too bunched up
My uncle fight that war. Canadian
加拿大人去朝鲜干什么？朝鲜跟加拿大有什么关系？
The song they sang during the march was similar to the hymn ' up,and fight agianst devil" melody at 14:20
When I was in the Army I wouldn't want to go into combat wiany of these dudes. Nothing they did was tactical.
Hey, if Biden had his way, they would be
using the AR- 15. Calling it a weapon of war.
It's a movie. They were actors. Were you 11bravo?
@@williamschlosser77 Are those who are, or were 11B the only soldiers who are trained to fight tactical?
I feel sorry for Kim.
Surprised he risked the chinese speaking korean to find a way through the minefield
The Koreans supplied a large number of soldiers in the US ranks. They were called KATUSA'S Korean Augumentation To United States Army. We had 4 in every 10 man squad.
The scene where they say he spoke Chinese is a bit contrived since China has many languages and many Chinese cannot speak to each other, even unto today.
It's over...the war, and this movie 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏.
Smart ass befits you. Were you even a bit informed you'd know the Korean War never ended. It is only in cease-fire, no treaty has ever been signed to end hostilities.
Americans until recently still die on the dmz, and Koreans do too.
Good movie!
This is a great show. The one thing I am impressed, is the one soldier is American African. You do not see that in older movies. The actor is awesome. I wish more war movies integrated racial diversity. After all different men and women served in the military, all skin tones, and personalities. God bless America.
One thing I don't understand. North Korea invaded South Korea, but that was merely a civil war between two regimes within one country...why UN jumped in and support South Korea?
Both north and South Korea was a colony of japan until 1945. The US and Soviet Union compromise to diving Korea in half temporarily. There were plans to hold general peninsula wide elections, but the Soviets feared pro American candidate, president Rhee was going to win and rejected any elections. So no one knew what to do. North Korean dictator, Kim ilsung unilaterally sneak attacked the south. While the Soviets didn’t reject Kim, they were not going to get directly involved with the invasion.
Meanwhile in the south, there were some American troops present. At the time, the UN Security Council consist of US, France, UK, China, Russia (still the same countries today which were the victors of WW2). China was recognized by the UN as the republic of China (Taiwan) and the Soviet Union did not vote because they withdrew from the UN out of protest. This gave unanimous decision by the UN to get involve with direct combat.
UN article 39 “the security council shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace. Breach of peace, or act of aggression and shall make recommendations or decide what measures in accordance to article 41, 42.”
Because communism did prove to be the real enemy of people across the world. Now it is defeated and in decline. Soon China will lose its communism as well.
One other thing... Korea has NEVER been one nation.
@@williamschlosser77 5000 years ago there was no Korea at all.
I thought you weren’t supposed to salute in the field because of snipers. As a kid during that time I thought the Korean War was known as the forgotten war.
These veterans must be getting up there in years
Call me old ill kick ur ass sonny. Yeah, I still got it.
To put it very mildly ..
Lt. Roy Thompson passed in the summer of 2013 at 84 I think. He would have been in his 90s now ~ it is wild to think about. He was my grandfather. I'm very proud of all of them.
Radioman Strait is my grandpa....he passed away in February 2008
Audio level is annoyingly low, but then the ads come blaring in at full volume.
My late father served with the 14th BCT , Philippine Contingent during the Korean war.
I spent a year in korea in nineteen sixty seven, and I was with the seventh infantry division, the same guys that they're showing now the hourglass patch
8:40 GENTLEMEN..... who just came in??
F-84's, F9F panthers, 5 x Pershing 's with 90 Mils, 2 x 16 gun arty batteries...they threw a ton of stuff...
No sign of Hawkeye or Trapper ?
On leave in Tokyo
@@michaelhewitt258 nice!
I'm surprised the British soldier didn't call the cigarettes F@gs
wondering when that term became the norm......for cigarettes that is....
@@ypaulbrown The words fags, and cigarettes should be interchangeable between people and cigarettes 🚬.
recruiting film for 1953
My father fought in that war korea
I didn't know Patton Oswalt was in this movie lol.
The Korean war is technically not over even today. There is a cease fire that the Communists break from time to time. When I was there in the 80s, as a Marine, the leader of N Korea (Kim Jong IL) promised to enjoy the new year in Seoul S Korea, and that put tensions high.
你们本不该出现在朝鲜，朝鲜的土地和人都与你们无关
Constant ads interrupt. Not gonna watch this ad machine.
without pilipino soldier they did not win the korean war.ten thousand pilipino versus 40 thousand chines soldier..but the credit goes to american.american and other alies pull back. the pilipino soldier still depend their post fighting 40 thousan red army..
There was around 7,500 Filipino soldiers who fought during the Korean conflict. Not ten thousand.
The. Philippines should do more films and documentaries on the Korean war to make the story of Philipine heroes and contribution better known.
@@robertttttt716 splitting hairs a bit. Rounding up numbers in support of national pride is a time honored tradition. I am not filipino but have some knowledge of their contribution in Korea. Their record is one they can feel rightly proud of.
I pray that Korea will never see war again.
Dec 2022 I live in Korea. Hasn’t changed a bit.
Oh really?
So Korea was an agricultural nation in the 50's, now it is one of the most advanced industrialized nations in the world. I was there in 75ź76. It has changed dramatically since then.
This is a Staged docudrama done in the rear areas well behind the front lines. All fighting at that time was called the Outpost War phase of the Korean War.
It shows open field action on the back slope and rolling fields not the actual area on the trench lines on top of the hills where real fighting was going on.
This would be akin to the information films done in WW2.
참전용사 여러분 감사합니다
My countrymen (New Zealanders) fought in the Korean War (25 pounder artillery) and saw extensive action after the Chinese launched their massive surprise attack, eventually the superior firepower of the US and their allies pushed them back, but because of China's refusal to admit defeat, even today(70+years)it is still considered a 'cease-fire' and proves that China couldn't be trusted then and shouldn't be trusted now, they couldn't beat the allied forces on the battlefield so they set out to destroy them economically by producing everything cheaper than could be made by other countries, only in the last few years has the world's economy's woken up to China's intentions and started to move manufacturing back to their own country's, ensuring work for its own people instead of enriching the Chinese Communist party.
Communists are masters of deceit.
i wish.... was there... comic book
the mysterious and *mythical name of Tangun;
this is a good movie, but the sound is way low.
Lot of these soldiers don't have much of a soldierly appearance. 😳
They're trying to survive
@@carycoller3140 OK...
My father worked on those types of helicopters. He was stationed at New River Air Station, NC
He said out of his graduating (USMC) platoon one guy was sent admin and he was sent to aircraft maintenance. Everyone else was sent to war. He got aircraft maintenance (helicopters) because he was color blind and wouldn't be confused about colored electrical wires at night under artificial light.
That's what kept him alive stateside.
My dad fought in Korea during the war. He said it was the coldest place he had ever been.
Most people R unaware tt the Korean War never ended. The fighting stopped bcz there was an armistace.
There has never been a peace treaty. Every American shd B aware of this, bcz 2 paraphrase Donald Trump, "Rocket Man," knows this.
Not very well trained infantry men, why the hell do they bunch up when moving.....
Because it’s a damn movie
@@scottdunkirk8198 🤣
Remember this was made in 53.
I said durn near the same thing to Stonewall Jackson when we wuz storming Chapultepec back during the Gulf War
Because they are stupid
where are the canteens of water? half the patrol has none?
