The Frozen Chosin, my gun club used to have a winter military rifle shoot to remember it. A couple of marines started it. They were surprised when an Air Force guy with an M1 could shoot. I took second in it.
My brother Richard was in Korea British army 8th royal Irish hussars. On the front line in his tank. He rarely talked about it. But from what I gathered they fought and killed many of the enemy.

@@patrickmccrann991 You’re right. I hadn’t seen HH in years. Nice fact-check! Nevertheless, the movie titles sound alike and remind me of each other with all the gruesome battle scenes.
Dad went to Pusan w/ 1st Provisional Marine Brigade , B-1-11. He also fought at Inchon , Seoul and Chosin. It was horrific and unimaginable what they went through . God bless them all.
Chosin. Why did it have to be the Chosin? 20,000 Combat Marines v 120,000 Chinese. I had a friend who was there as a Chopper Mech. They had to boil the engine oil and pump it through to start the engines. Madness Mao said he will flood his boys into the breeches of our guns that we could not close them. Accounts were that even at 40 below, the Howitzers stopped firing because the barrels were white and drooping after running out of HE and moving to Cannister. GOD have mercy. #30 Car Ammo drop was pointless. The first wave was wearing 3 silk Great Coats, so 6 rnds of 30Car was needed to stop a man. Good thing that they came armed with US weapons Prepositioned in NK from Tinian for Shang Kai Shak, because the officers cut off their M1Car Gear and picked up all of the Thompson 45 that they could fill the trenches with. They did not nape the Chinese at first, because they did not want to give them any comfort against the cold. I also had a friend who was so old, he had been in Mussolini's Army, and fought "Everywhere" in Africa, the Balkans, and even the Soviet Union. Resilient men.
Love to see a modern movie about the Korean war. It seems few where made. Making it a tribute to all who served their. Particularly at the Chosin reservoir.
History fact It wasn't just the USMC that marched out. With them were the men of 41 independent Royal Marines Commandos 🇬🇧who also withdrew from the frozen Chosen reservoir.
My husband was Marine,he joined the military when he was 14 years old ,He joined Korean War 1950,he was 15 years old. He had 3 Purple Hearts 💜. He died at last year,😭 . (1935-2023)
Awesome movie. Watched it many times over the years as a child with my dad who was a WWII combat veteran. Kudos for the upload. Anticipating ur next one. Peace
I haven't seen this movie in quite some time. Its much better than i remember. Fix bayonets probably one off the last things you would want hear. I equates to bring a knife to a gun fight 😮
Of course we would always break each other's balls but I have to tell you, there are none as good as the Marines. Those sonofabitches are tough. First in, last out. You have to have something special to be a Marine. I have great friends who were Marines and they never let each other down, ever. We had MARDET (Marine Detachment) onboard my Carrier and those guys were sharp. Like I said, we could give it to each other pretty good. In a foreign liberty port, five of us squids came across a bar with many locals and about four Marines. We arrived just in time. Imagine, Marines and squids fighting back to back. After that, we all stayed together no matter what. Thank God for the US Marine Corps!
What's extraordinary about Korea and Inchon/Chosin Reservoir is that many of the Marines involved hadn't been to Boot Camp. They had to learn what they knew about weapons, tactics, and survival while in transit from the U.S. to Korea. Veterans onboard ship did the instruction.

Viewer from China🇨🇳, thank you for sharing this movie. battle of Chosin is also a painful memory for us, not until 2021 we finally have the first movie about it. Heroic fightings aside, the sheer negligence of soldiers’ life back then is staggering, Chinese soldier fought wearing summer uniforms under -40 degree and an empty stomach. Three full armies of 120000 men after 17 days’ fight, ended with battle casualties 19202, but winter casualties 28954, including frozen death 1000+ and 3000+ death from frostbite. I cannot help with tears thinking about those young men sacrificed pointlessly in their age 20s. If only the dumbass yesman general Song had stopped 3 days on border to supply our boys, 1st marine could never get away from Chosin. Well, History Can not Be Hypothesized.😢
Greetings from a German, living in Panama. I served 4 years in Germany because I got drafted and had to go. Now that I’m old, I always say: You like to get into a war? The leaders should fight 1 to 1 and let us people stay out of it!
As an American it’s interesting to hear your perspective. I figured the Chinese casualties were very high with some of those wild charges with bugles blaring against US Marines with automatic weapons, artillery and air power.
@@Redwhiteblue-gr5em maybe you are thinking of Battle of Chipyong-ni, when three regiments of light infantry fearlessly attacked a well fortified perimeter. It’s rifle+grenade against mg+tank+airstrike+artillery, also due to lack of communication, those three regiments cannot coordinate the attack but only to enter death firewall one after another. Chosin is still considered a win because China forced USMC to retreat, Chipyong-ni was an undeniable defeat. After that, we adjust fighting strategy with Americans, and shift focus on the easiest prey, aka South Koreans
Minor mistake in an otherwise inspiring production: at 3:28 the date shown is 1952. Should be 1950. To Captain Miguel A. Hernandez and Top Sergeant Flanagan who both fought their way down from the Frozen Chosin and with whom I had the privilege of serving under: Semper Fi!
@@peterblum613You may well have solved the mystery but in terms of clarity, inserting the year the film was made after coming off a montage of the Marine Corps notifying their active and reserve units infers that the series of events previously shown occurred in 1952. LionHeart made a poor choice in doing so.
Amazed they allowed scenes of actual people being killed in this movie in 1952. This is one I haven't seen before. {EDIT} It was a nice touch to show, however briefly, that the Royal Marines were also involved in this conflict. There were also many other Regiments her. In fact the 1st Battalion of The Gloucestershire Regiment held the line for 3 days against superior odds, losing most of their personnel either killed or captured.
It's strange that I picked today to watch this movie. Just yesterday, I met one of these Marines who was at the Chosin Reservoir. They have put up pictures of veterans who served in combat as a remembrance for election day and I was looking at a picture and the gentleman standing next to me said, "I know I don't look like it now, but that's me up there", and he was right, it was him. Staff Sergeant (ret.) Robert Broadhead, USMC, H Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Purple Heart and Silver Star. He's 86 years old and lives a block away from me in Gerritsen Beach, Brooklyn, New York. It's men such as these who are largely forgotten today, and more and more are dying every day. The number of living WW II vets is declining rapidly every day and pretty soon it will be the Korean War vets leaving us. We should never forget what they sacrificed and what they gave up for us to have the lives we have today. They are truly the best of us.
You are very welcome sir. Might I suggest The Steel Helmet to you. It's another great Korean War film. Another might be China Gate, with Gene Barry, Angie Dickinson and Nat King Cole. It's a little after the Korean War but still a great film, another of Sam Fuller's gems.
A conflict we should never have gotten involved in. My dad fought there. After we left Korea without a victory, he said he wished he had never joined the Army.
Frank lovejoy in the credits caught my attention. One of those guys that did a good job, but you may not remember his name. I doubt I will forget his name or voice again.
I was in Korea after the great war... 67-68 HAWK missile deployment and armed sentury dog handler... cold winter... met my best friend there... Bruno... the meanest dog on the sight. Mae Bong Mountain.
I have seen the photos of the Marines going thru Seoul in this battle. They actually were doing it that way. Going down the streets like that. You'd think they would remember the tactics, techniques and procedures from WW2.
Funny, when the Marines started climbing down the cargo nets at 28:43 they didn't have their chin straps fastened, but once they were in the landing craft, they ALL did?? WRONG!! They ALWAYS fastened their chin straps BEFORE climbing down the cargo nets, otherwise, with the landing craft pitching up and down, their helmets would've fallen off during the climb! Now, I'm sure all of you "experts" are going to try to tell me I'm wrong, because that is what you always do!!
My great grandfather was a design engineer for the Jeep Willies company and was one of the designers of the Military Jeep. I have his book, Hail to the Jeep. His picture is in there.
I haven't watched the whole film for many years, but I just noticed something: The year "1952" is shown on the screen when the lead, Captain Hansen, is called up. Seeing as how the movie's title refers to action at the Chosin Reservoir, this seems to be off by a couple years. I'll check back in a while to see why I'm wrong.
Another reason it should have been 1950 instead of 1952 is that at the 00:1:14 mark, the graphic over the Pentagon tells us that this is the outbreak of war in Korea, which was 1950. Also, the dialogue tells us that it is an emergency deployment of many scattered units and personnel. So, this was definitely 1950, not 1952.
This film patriotic to USA marines for sticking it out in the humiliating withdrawal from Korea.The us armed forces walked in to a well executed Trap by North Koreans & got the US forces deep enough & down came thousands & thousands of hill fighters a part of Chinese PLA these are rural battalions with donkeys carrying field artillery picese & the also use 2" light mortars for close combat.We servicemen were taught this at our military academy. All in all it was aHumilating defeat & late Gen.Dougles Macather lost face & was never heard mucher of him after this invasion in to Korea. Regds.from from ex.militery.Sri lanka.
I have to say I love war movies. But to be honest. When it's real. What is the porpis of it when young men go out to fight or die. For what. God bless all on both sides. they didn't ask to fight or die. I'm from Ireland and it seems like we are on are own. While the British still have a hold on the north. If you are for us please hit the like. Thank you
Marine Corps was integrated by 1952. I know because my dad joined in June 1952 shortly after desegregation. Not a single black Marine shown in the whole movie
I happened to notice a few black Marines, however I wasn't purposefully looking, and when I joined in 1969 we were all 'green' anyway. The two assistant DI's in my PI platoon were a darker green. I carry respect for them every day. Why bring this up here anyway? If the movie was released in 1952 it was probably in production in 1951. You trying to pick a fight over something from 70+ years ago?
I would like to express my gratitude and respect to the dedication and sacrifice of the U.S. and U.N. veterans who protected our freedom and peace.
They were true heroes. All Koreans will forever honor and remember that fact !!

This film and Pork Chop Hill, are the best made about the combat at both ends of the war. It was real war and not a police action.
One minute to zero is pretty good also..Robert Mitchum

Hamburger Hill is about as Vietnam battle not Korea.

This is a true classic. The film is a little like Full Metal Jacket because the film starts with the training for war and then moves onto war.
Chosin.
Why did it have to be the Chosin? 20,000 Combat Marines v 120,000 Chinese.
I had a friend who was there as a Chopper Mech. They had to boil the engine oil and pump it through to start the engines. Madness
Mao said he will flood his boys into the breeches of our guns that we could not close them.
Accounts were that even at 40 below, the Howitzers stopped firing because the barrels were white and drooping after running out of HE and moving to Cannister.

#30 Car Ammo drop was pointless. The first wave was wearing 3 silk Great Coats, so 6 rnds of 30Car was needed to stop a man. Good thing that they came armed with US weapons Prepositioned in NK from Tinian for Shang Kai Shak, because the officers cut off their M1Car Gear and picked up all of the Thompson 45 that they could fill the trenches with.

this could be a goodie since the director joseph h lewis made some outstanding noirs like gun crazy and the big combo
One major problem the date outside the Denver Marine building said "1952". Pretty much has to be 1950! Just saying.
Jesus, I hope McDermott got a couple of decent medals for the stunts he pulled off.
Just doing his job. Funny how people think everyone should get a medal for any little thing they do.

It was said the Chinese brave but stupid, fell in their thousands.
Marine Corps was integrated by 1952. I know because my dad joined in June 1952 shortly after desegregation. Not a single black Marine shown in the whole movie
Two cooks doesn't make a desegregation.
I saw one.
The Korean War started in 1950.
Someone always has to play the race card. Why can’t you just enjoy the movie.
I happened to notice a few black Marines, however I wasn't purposefully looking, and when I joined in 1969 we were all 'green' anyway. The two assistant DI's in my PI platoon were a darker green. I carry respect for them every day. Why bring this up here anyway? If the movie was released in 1952 it was probably in production in 1951. You trying to pick a fight over something from 70+ years ago?
ハガルリだね‼️
