I wish this scene lasted longer. One of my favorite parts in the whole movie. I especially always loved how the Japanese commander is just like, “Fight’s in 5. Gear up.” XD
Well. In reality, it already happend during ww2 when soviet communist and american capitalist united against fascism germany despite both ideology are different.
One of my favorite scenes in any movie. United, we can defeat anything. Throw away the differences, the blood feuds, etc. Humanity can be strong if we unite!
"United, we can defeat anything" yeah i'm sure we can beat the Downstreamers, Time Lords, Daleks, The Beyonders and Celestials, the Monitors, Forerunners, Flood, Precursors, Tyranids, Necrons, the Imperium, Galactic Empire, First Order and the Xeelee. (lol)
tfw you realize that between the Israeli flag and Iraqi flag in the one scene, there's probably Syrians, Palestinians and all other middle eastern types banded together there despite their own conflicts.
Jovalin Yeah, it's a funny kind of thing that facing an enemy that sees all of you as insects to be crushed can make ones put aside their differences and hatred of each other in the pursuit of mutual survival.
It would be AMAZING if someone did an adaptation from that scene alone. It's so powerful when see and realize that both flags are there and have banded together.
@@MarioPerez-zl9rr They did, it's called "Independence Day: War in the Desert". And they even covered the issue of ammunitions incompatibility, where they found most of the munitions to be incompatible with MiGs where a group of Arab pilots gladly sacrifice their lives to draw the aliens attacks away from attack group.
About the British pilot who says the morse code line: according to the fandom site for "Independence Day" his name is Thomson and he is a Wing Commander for the RAF. Before the events of the movie its stated he was was preparing to transfer from Cyprus as the base was closing. However, he was instead reassigned to deliver a Panavia Tornado alongside thirty-nine others to Kuwait. While in transit near Haifa, Thomson and the other pilots were forced in a holding pattern after Israel denied their entry into their airspace as violence had broken out between Israel and several Arab states. They would be safely escorted by Squadron Leader Reginald Cummins to Khamis Moushalt Airfield while passing through the City Destroyer hovering over Jerusalem. There, Thomson and the others witnessed the holy city's destruction by the aliens. Soon, Thomson's group came under attack by alien attackers in which only he and three others survived and escaped. Thomson, Cummins, and the other surviving pilots along with Middle Eastern pilots resumed to Khamis Moushalt but only to be diverted to Rub' al Khali as alien attackers fell on the base. They would eventually find shelter at an oil-drilling station manned by the Saudi military. At the makeshift camp, tension was brewing between the international pilots such as the Israelis and Iranians in which Thomson managed to prevent a fight from breaking out while speaking in atrocious Arabic from a phrase book. When peace was temporarily restored, an Iranian pilot pointed out to Thomson that none of the pilots spoke Arabic and that Thomson's accent was horrible. (from independenceday.fandom.com)
"It's about bloody time." I mean, the Brits did wait for them to join in WWI and WWII and possibly a few other wars after/before. I hope someone else got that reference too?
I mean technically the britts outsmarted Hitler and forced him into going into Russia in the dead of winter and also they were the only thing standing between him and complete control of western Europe.... we really had no choice but to join because if great Britain fell we would lose all of western Europe and pretty much all of Asia and the Middle East.... basically anything not in North, central and South America
@@ganados0 no... great Britain under the leadership of Winston Churchill kept Germany waiting on a "peace treaty" agreement that was never coming....they kept the narrative and conversation going on for MONTHS just trying to hold Germany up because Germany didn't want to attack or take on great Britain at that moment
My favorite part of this is how nobody even questions or the American plan will work. They’ve all lost a fight against the aliens, their capitals are in ruins... and the second they get a hint of hope, they’re all ready to head right back out and do it all again
It is my understanding that is mentioned somewhere i think it was in the novels that nations still communicated with each other to a degree, thats why no more than 1 nuke was used, they agreed that if they first one worked everyone launched theirs after, however after the failure in Houston everyone knew using nukes was pointless, so if the Americans suddenly sent a message saying they found a weakness its was because they needed help to bring down the other ships around the world as well, furthemore they did using old morse code as more modern communication was surely spied on by the Aliens
@@shadowmaverick15 By that point the aliens had taken out most of the satellite network, and were using the ones that were left to transmit their own signals between the Mothership and the Destroyers around the world. I wouldn't be surprised if the aliens had taken out the trans-oceanic cables as well. Humans were probably reduced to just low frequency radio bands to communicate with each other, which can travel beyond the horizon and farther if they still have relay stations left, or atmospheric conditions are right.
This scene brings tears to my eyes, because it gives me hope for mankind. I know it's unlikely that all those foreign powers suddenly overcame their mistrust for each other, but it's still possible. Maybe something like this would push mankind together.
yea... it absolutely would have... if this scene weren't forcefully cut for the Lebanon release. It's like the Arab nations never want to abandon their warring past, otherwise they would have been fine showing this scene of companionship.
I think when you consider the attempt to attack the aliens from aircrafts and loosing that battle, then to fire one of the worlds most power weapons and still loose the entire world would have lost hope in surviving the alien attack, and when they found a way to beat the aliens even for a extremely brief moment they decided uniting would be stronger.
This scene gives me chills. Despite all the conflicts humans have, such as the Middle East people we see here, they all toss them aside and unite as one community, the one of humans, against the Earth attackers. It gives me so many hopes, one day we could be that
@@timengineman2nd714 Only a lazy person would find ironic when its NOT even rocket science to figure that the Israelis want to exterminate the Palestians since 1947

So sad that this scene involving Jewish and Arab cooperation was cut from the Lebanon release of the movie. It's like those countries never want companionship.
LOVE all the national responses, especially the British, which fits my idealized movie scene of them: {They are exploring ALL possibilities of striking back, and are itching to take action. (Paraphrase): "Brit: Sir, the Americans are planning an offensive. Brit commander: It's about bloody time!!!" Love it! Made me laugh!!!
Sound may be bad, but it shows that we are willing to work together against a common enemy. I don’t know if there are really aliens from outer space, but if they do try to attack us, they better be careful, because we humans fight back and will do everything we can to defeat our enemies.
Actually, most alien invasion flicks or stories have one common theme: Humanity is very adapt and skilled for war. Most alien invaders are universally united; being one race/religion, ect, and have been that way for such a long time that the idea infighting is somewhat strange and even archaic to them. Plus they usually have some kind of superior physical traits to humanity. We, however, being vastly diverse and somewhat physically weak when compared to many other things living on our planet, have adapted to be very crafty and subversive against physically (and sometimes technologically) superior opponents. Most alien invasion scenarios acknowledge humanity's almost instinctual ability to wage war.
This was always the best part when we all banded together to save the world. Would’ve been awesome to see extra scenes with every armed forces in the globe taking on the invaders
*after russel case sacrificed himself to destroy the alien ship and america spread it to other countries that it's the way to defeat the aliens Japan: ah, it turns out this easy
I'm a russian and I can't understand a half a thing those russian pilots saying, also love those scenes from the beginning with map of Russia and lots of funny mistakes on it, but this movie all about stereotypes of everything after all. And who the hell is that drunk general who build CHURCH ON THE AIRFIELD?
Pretty sure that was an inprovised airfield next to an old monastery or whatever... Or some fallback runway the Soviets built "just in case" - like my government did with parts of the Autobahn. Just remove the railing, haul in some mobile runway equipment and you're set...
The invasion would probably start with small asteroids being dropped on strategic points all over the planet long before we knew the aliens were there.
In my opinion, it would had been very cool if they would had added a german officer receiving the code and telling a bunch of germans the attack will start soon. German language sounds just perfect for this kind of moments lol.
@@agp11001 I noticed that too lol, was it REALLY more difficult to get a single actual British plane from somewhere (i.e. THE BRITISH) to film a scene in front of than actually repainting an American one lol, even though they actually got in real Brits to play the pilots in actual RAF flight-suits (one of which has a patch on the arm that very clearly says 'Tornado F3' lol, with matching picture OF said definitely-not-an-F16 'Tornado F3') and even though there's clearly military from lots of other countries there BESIDES the British who DID actually use F16's at the time and therefore literally ANY OTHER PAINTJOB on that plane would've been fine (like that of the Israeli's for example)
I'm even surprised that France is joining in the battle against the aliens. The United States has a long-term alliance with the French, and it's been like that ever since after both world wars. In the movie, the entire city of Paris was obliterated and destroyed by aliens. Even the Eiffel Tower couldn't survive the devastation.
It s completely normal, it s an American film. And in an American film the French are either cowardly, arrogant, etc. In most American war films, you will always see a defeated, destroyed, weak France saved by the invincible Americans and the brave English.
@J Knox they are using bullets as paper weights and maybe that gun too so chances are its not loaded, given the aliens craft size and speed a handgun would do nothing if they were suddenly attacked, so its unlikely he is holding it "just in case"
Well... based on the movies plot, it wasn't so much America but Area 51. America without Area 51 got its ass kicked too. Basically everyone was helpless.
Aliens attack! Alien ambassador : humans you must surrender, we have destroyed all the earth countries!! Israel : not all of them!! Israel still standing !! Aliens make an akward pause.. *Israel is not a legitimate state...* Palestinian guy far away : LOL
I liked the morse code scene. Sometimes old tec finds a way to turn the tide of a war. I can see the aliens thinking the satellites have been knocked out. We are whooping their ass everywhere. Overlooking some signals that even from our standpoint would of been archaic. From their standpoint. It might of been so old it just looked like the monkeys were jabbering and crying about their coming destruction. Or they might of even forgotten about this sort of communication and not even been looking for it.
So old that they probably missed it while spying on earth, not only telegraphs arent used commonly anymore but most militaries use encrypted transmissions and secret codes, chances are aliens were too busy looking for that while ignoring morse code, which to their knowledge was not used in warfare anymore
I love how its a scene about the world uniting but i also love the idea that Everybody is waiting for AMERICA to do sumtin! Hey it was the 90s! Dnt worry bou it!
Not quite by the time this attack happens US military has been reduced to less than 15% of their total strentgh , the rest wiped out in surprise attacks and counterattacks
It my favorite part because it show that everyone work together and help the earth and there is no war between countries but all the people work together that is awesome that it can be
Now a days alot of people would need an app just to understand Morse code. I did learn when was young, ever use it so I'd have to spend time myself to translate it from dashes/dots to letters
@@LBF522 I can't answer for him, but I received my Novice Amateur Radio license when I was 13, and you had to be able to send and receive at 5 words per minute (wpm), with the "word" defined as 8 characters.

In my opinion, it would had been very cool if they would had added a german officer receiving the code and telling a bunch of germans the attack will start soon. German language sounds just perfect for this kind of moments lol.
RIP to the Belgians 🇧🇪
CF-18 with israeli markings didn't see that coming
Well, fits right in with the British F-16, right?
@Jay it's the alpha males. Beta males ready for everything
@@agp11001 I noticed that too lol, was it REALLY more difficult to get a single actual British plane from somewhere (i.e. THE BRITISH) to film a scene in front of than actually repainting an American one lol, even though they actually got in real
Brits to play the pilots in actual RAF flight-suits (one of which has a patch on the arm that very clearly says 'Tornado F3' lol, with matching picture OF said definitely-not-an-F16 'Tornado F3') and even though there's clearly military from lots of other countries there BESIDES the British who DID actually use F16's at the time and therefore literally ANY OTHER PAINTJOB on that plane would've been fine (like that of the Israeli's for example)
I'm even surprised that France is joining in the battle against the aliens. The United States has a long-term alliance with the French, and it's been like that ever since after both world wars. In the movie, the entire city of Paris was obliterated and destroyed by aliens. Even the Eiffel Tower couldn't survive the devastation.
It s completely normal, it s an American film. And in an American film the French are either cowardly, arrogant, etc. In most American war films, you will always see a defeated, destroyed, weak France saved by the invincible Americans and the brave English.
I was 10 when this movie came out. This was my favorite scene in the movie. The Russian part is awesome.
Underrated movie scene in history.
I love this scene, all of the militaries shown were enemies of America as one point in history..
What about Israel?
Wait, not israel
@@mathewchambers5087, well, the USS Liberty incident is kind of shady. All the survivors think it was deliberate.
Israel wasn't an American enemy
人類史上最大の作戦に日本が参加できて誇らしかったです
Heights. Golan Heights. There's no such as the Golan Straits! *Screams internally*
As a kid I didn't understand the hatred between all the groups in this clip.
I didn't even know what the flags represented! 😅
According to TV Tropes this would be an example of "Gondor Calls for Aid."
How things are going. I think we need an alien attack to stop killing each other and face a common enemy.
Are we all just going to ignore the fact that the guy in the first scene has no trigger discipline? Fuc#$% is ready to go Rambo or kill his CO lulz
It's a movie so chances are the gun is fake.
@J Knox they are using bullets as paper weights and maybe that gun too so chances are its not loaded, given the aliens craft size and speed a handgun would do nothing if they were suddenly attacked, so its unlikely he is holding it "just in case"
Am I the only one that thought this scene was hilarious because it seems like everyone was hopeless until they got a letter from America?
@Earthling Exactly. Satire couldn't make that more ridiculous!
Um the Americans were helpless too, they just. This seen showed everyone was hard at work look for a plan. The Americans found it first
@@MrSophire Found the American
This movie is like Armaggeddon. Every country apart USA looks living in the 1950s
Well... based on the movies plot, it wasn't so much America but Area 51. America without Area 51 got its ass kicked too. Basically everyone was helpless.
That's human nature for you. Nothing unites people better than a common enemy
Aliens attack!
Alien ambassador : humans you must surrender, we have destroyed all the earth countries!!
Israel : not all of them!! Israel still standing !!
Aliens make an akward pause..
*Israel is not a legitimate state...*
Palestinian guy far away : LOL

I liked the morse code scene. Sometimes old tec finds a way to turn the tide of a war. I can see the aliens thinking the satellites have been knocked out. We are whooping their ass everywhere. Overlooking some signals that even from our standpoint would of been archaic. From their standpoint. It might of been so old it just looked like the monkeys were jabbering and crying about their coming destruction. Or they might of even forgotten about this sort of communication and not even been looking for it.
So old that they probably missed it while spying on earth, not only telegraphs arent used commonly anymore but most militaries use encrypted transmissions and secret codes, chances are aliens were too busy looking for that while ignoring morse code, which to their knowledge was not used in warfare anymore
I love how its a scene about the world uniting but i also love the idea that Everybody is waiting for AMERICA to do sumtin!
Hey it was the 90s! Dnt worry bou it!
theparodychannel it is good to be united, but you americans are no longer the center of the world
@@whitewolf4805 Sadly, America is not what it once was.
Just shows that a warriors enemies are not each other. They are brothers by blood and bond. Sometimes, brothers fight. Management is the problem.
I always thought it was funny seeing the Israeli Air Force symbol on the F18. A jet Israel has never once had in its inventory.
0:43 greatest scene to prepare for counter offensive.
The scene is like finally America get to use their military budget for something
Not quite by the time this attack happens US military has been reduced to less than 15% of their total strentgh , the rest wiped out in surprise attacks and counterattacks
“It’s from the Americans.” Yep and that was when all the others were like “aight we gonna be fine.”
Read “Independence Day: War in the Desert” novel to get more on the Arabs, Jews, and Brits combined attack on the aliens. Pretty good book.
One of my favorite scenes makes me tear up Humanity saying fuck you
my favorite scene in the film, soldiers of the world awaiting news that we have found a vulnerability. Brothers In Arms.
I love this scene
the best thing that could happen to humans to show how united we can be...especially at the moment...
It my favorite part because it show that everyone work together and help the earth and there is no war between countries but all the people work together that is awesome that it can be
Now a days alot of people would need an app just to understand Morse code. I did learn when was young, ever use it so I'd have to spend time myself to translate it from dashes/dots to letters
Did you find it difficult to understand?
@@LBF522 I can't answer for him, but I received my Novice Amateur Radio license when I was 13, and you had to be able to send and receive at 5 words per minute (wpm), with the "word" defined as 8 characters. It took me months to learn it to that proficiency, and a year to lose it from lack of practice. That said, watched several of the older guys talk to folks on the air at 40-50wpm. Keep in mind, average speed most folks talk at averages around 150 words per minute.
@@roberthonan3492 Wow. Thanks for the information. That is interesting.
This movie captures the true spirit of the 90s!
When you have Israeli parked next to Iran on the tarmac and working together you know you done messed up.
Ever wonder what the morse code was? " Aliens put Pineapple on Pizza!!"
The world fights together ❤️
Would been cool see other countries Singapore Australia etc
@@nicholasrogers7276 Brazil, France, uk
But under American command
Meaning they have the final say to everything, and you can't do your own tactic, just the American way of fighting
It is a great scene cuz the world is so desperate to fight back the aliens they’ll trust anything that’s human at this point.
When the Israeli flag appeared on screen back in 96 here in rishon le zion in israel: the crowd went nuts and cheered
I’d’ve loves to’ve seen some high level bombers and ground forces firing on the ships as well. I think that’d’ve made the move more entertaining.
Wow every countries are now helping each other
Just like in WWII. Nations standing together against an great evil.
〔Morse Code On Radio〕
“It's from Japan. They say that the Avigan can cure the COVID-19.”
“It' about bloody time. What do they plan to do? ”
〔Speaking Italian〕
“They say that they will provide the Avigan for free of charge.”
“When they want to do? ”
〔Speaking Japanese〕
“Be ready. We will start this plan, soon.”
That trigger discipline woooooof
The British running F-16s? Yeah good luck with that.
Hey!!!!! That’s the Arabic guy from Iron Man 1 who got pulled through the wall !!
I love when the scene goes to Russia and the music turns more “Russian” sounding lol
I went to Russia before and can confirm this is the background music that plays as you go around the place
Independence day with very good film indeed
0:33 R.A.F Officer: it's from the Americans they want to organize a counter offensive
コウゲキハ、アトゴジカンデハジマル！
love the scene
The british pilot with the browning hi power. Pulling a military rickey bobby moment...'what do I do with my hands with this pistol'?
Just watched the movie this was one of my favorite scenes!
