- Film: Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines (1965)
Backstory from film: Air race from London to Paris and the French and the Germans don't like each other so the German guy challenges the French guy to a duel, the French guy accepts but under the 1 condition, that it's in a balloon and fought with Blunderbusses.
I highly suggest checking out the whole film because it is hilarious.
i know this is not Sea of Thieves, but i remembered this film from a few years ago and thought it was funny. Season 10 stinks and this is more fun. - บันเทิง
Fun fact: in 1808 two French aristocrats actually did a duel in hot air balloons.
True that
With same result?
"Jeevs pull out the hot air balloon, I've got a score to settle" that is peak aristocrat.
@@fosphor8920If I remember correctly, each balloon had 1 duellist and 1 pilot (who was a friend of their respective duelist). The results weren't as funny as this clip, since only 1 balloon survived (the other being shot down, killing both its pilot and duelist).
Edit: There are doubts about the authenticity of this story, since the only source describing it was released 50 years after the fact in an English newspaper.
@@broplaybro01 50 years after? Huh, that's kinda strange haha
You know, in a strange way, this really does sum up European politics at that point.
true
And both World Wars.
I think that's partly the idea.
Honorable mention of how Germany tried to outlaw shotguns in ww1 like whaaaaaat?
"Germans and French pointlessly shoot at each other and everyone just ends up neck deep in a pool of sewage."
No, it doesn't 🤔
One point this clip misses: They were fighting that duel over a set of sewage settling-ponds.
Bruh
why
Movie name
@@Noplionic Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines (1965)
@@ArkadiBolschek Because the Frenchman kept pranking the German. Finally the German challenged the Frenchman to a duel. But, as the challenged party, the Frenchman had the right to choose the weapons, and he chose "Balloons and Blunderbusses."
Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines.
True that
Thank you. I remember seeing this as a kid but couldn't remember the title
That's a great profile pic

SCHUTZ!
100% Historically accurate depiction of WWI.
Real
Eastern Front is completely forgotten.
And there were some brilliant breakthroughs (like Brusilov's) and some maneuver warfare, unlike fully static Western front
And ww2 lol
Looks actually more like 1870
its set in 1910
Honestly they couldn't have a man in a Pickelhaube in a balloon and NOT have it poke the balloon.
Especially for this type of film 🤣
Well, this film is from the 1960s.
It's old enough to have started that trope.
something a german and frenchman can both laugh over; bullying an italian man
And hating the British? They HAVE to hate the British.
I like that the German’s priority when falling is to protect his flag from the sewage water ❤
Edit: how sad that he failed in the end lol
Yeah I noticed that to 🤣
Truly german
This was the old (the real) Germany. Today it is forbitten to show the german Flag. And I mean the official
@@S1pike yeah Bullshit unless in your mind the official German Flag is still the one from 1940
@@S1pike Even showing the democratic flag makes people shit their pants and go into antigerman frenzies. Their selfhate isn't even on the scale anymore.
Riding in a gas balloon while wearing a Pickelhaube is about the same as wading waist deep in gasoline with a lit match.
(Edit: Holy Shit! This blew up!)
'There is nothing a German officer cannot do' - famous last words
There’s no flame so I guess it is a gas balloon instead of a hot air balloon. If it was hot air then a hole near the bottom isn’t an issue.
@@sSteppingStones
Except win wars, apparently (post 1871) :P
no, it's really not.
Kriegesmen: Challenge accepted! For the Emperor!
What's hilarious is that the French guy guy goads the German into the dual by describing a previous dual and ending the story with, "the Frenchman won"
But in reality, it would be impossile to have any other outcome since the dual was between 2 Frenchmen
They got every detail in this film!
What movie is this? @@sSteppingStones
@@superrealistic Those Magnificent Men In There Flying Machines
@@sSteppingStones Cool!
0:50 I like how they try to aim even when the muzzle of the gun doesn't let them see each other.
It’s perhaps also worth mentioning that the duel is supposedly over a sewage farm
it is!
☠
I didn't know they farmed sewage
A sewage farm.
@@skepticalwhiteguy Yeah they do, but it is a crap job.
Gert Froebe was a genius. He also played Goldfinger in the 60s Bond-movie. He played funny characters and the bad guys too. 👍👍👍
He was one of germanys best actors in the second half of the 20th century. I remember an old interview with his mother, where she conplained that "he always have to play villains, but he is such a nice man". She used the old fashioned slangword "Brunnenvergifter" for villain, which can be translated as "waterpoisoner".
And Räuber Hotzenplotz
@@TOFKAS01 It's always people who play villains and terrible people that end up being the nicest irl lol
@@buddy4445 And he really scared the german audience in the 1950s with his role as a child-murderer in "Es geschah am hellichten Tag" (the original version of "The Pledge" with Jack Nicholson from 2001.
"No, Mister Bond, I expect you to DIE!"
He was a funny but scary villain.
2:15 I love how the German tried to preserve his flag 😂
yeah
lol true he even still Reppin it

Muita coisa ruim foi feita no mundo por cauda de bandeiras.
The Marching Band beat box caught me off guard. 😂
I dont know why people would hate this. You're getting exactly what is advertised.
Fun fact the like - dislike ratio on this is 97% positive
@@sSteppingStonespeople who leave comments about the dislikes or the video getting "hate" have mental issues
@@neo-filthyfrank1347 there are always some 🤷
This film is an underrated gem.
I agree
That poor guy in the DaVinci flying machine....
Poor Italian
@@sSteppingStones He is an Italian ? That explains why he lost.
don't be mean to the Italians 🇮🇹
@@sSteppingStones It's not being mean, it's just their role, their fate in this world. They should stick to making excellent food and superfast cars.
@@flitsertheoThat's hardly accurate. Western Civilization was ruled over from Italy for centuries. First by the Roman Senate, then by the Emperors, then by the Papacy.
As a Prussian military officer from 1907, I can say that this definitely happened
real
This is actually based on a questionably true story except both men were french since as we all know, the french are their own worst enemy.
real
"There is nothing a German officer cannot do!"
All he needs is 'the book of instructions'
I love this movie and now the theme music will play in my head for the rest of the day. I've always remembered this scene for the way Goldfinger hums German oompah music.
Opening theme to this film goes hard
Beatboxing German martial music LOL
*Im gonna tell my kids that this is what ww1 looked like*
I remember having seen this film as a kid. It still puts a smile on my face
The German title was "Die tollkühnen Männer in ihren fliegenden Kisten".
Fun Fact actor Gert Frobe went of script and suprised everybody on set when he started beatboxing march musik in a scene😁.
So why is the french whistling then as well?
Likely improvisation on the Frenchman's part too, in response to the german
Gert Frobe gloriously beatboxes his way through most of the film, and to correct period German marching songs too!
Makes me wonder now how much of that was written for his character and how much of it was added by him!
Greatest dogfight of all time
Real
one of the most friendly duels
Real
Those Amazing Young men in their flying machines…
They go up. Up, up...
@@martinsieburg7953 They go down, down down, down
Now we know why the Germans ceased wearing Pickelhaube (spiked helmets).
Real
The Pickelhaube was original a present from the Ottomans to King (later Imperator) Wilhelm I.
To protect against sword blows from above.
German won due to the french falling first
Actually, if you pay attention to the Duel, The Prussian's shot didn't hit the Italian's plane.
In fact, from how the explosion occurs the moment the Frenchman pulls the trigger, the Frenchman shot the Plane, but thought the _Prussian_ did it... Then he heard the gas leaking.
So germany won also ww1 and 2?
@@Victor-056 You mean German guy?
Gonna tell my kids this was ww1
I was wondering how that pointed helmet fit into the story. Bravo!
@1:40 Sabotage!
At last a word where french, german and english speakers can all agree on :)
real
TH-cam algorithm brought me here and i couldn't be more happy
Big ups that
movie is called: Those magnificent men in their flying machines.
True that
The aircraft used were specailly made 'copies' of the original machines of the period, and many are still on display or actually flying as part of the Shuttleworth Collection.
When germans and french are fighting italians are allways in the middle.

"Hot air balloon duels look cool."
Hot air balloon duels:

I've had this scene stuck in the back of my head for the past decade and wasn't sure if it was even real. Thanks to the upload at least I now know that it wasn't some lost episode of hogan's heroes lol.

Historically accurate

This would be the best way for countries to settle their disputes!
The heyday of peculiarly British films .Monte Carlo or Bust , the whole Carry On series and of course Those Magnificent Men in their flying Machines .Thanks for this .
They don't make films like this anymore :(
Someone would consider it 'offensive'
"The Mouse that Roared" and "The Mouse on the Moon" are two more Peculiarly British films from this era.
This is how World War 1 actually started?😳 I knew the French and Germans hated each other during those days.
Sarcasm!
This is in fact 100% pure fact
Just to act a historic fact, World War I was started simmering by the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 and Germany's subsequent militarization by Wilhelm II. The assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was merely the spark which ignited the powderkeg's fuse.
No there was an assasination and things escalated because of alliances. Read the guns of august by Barabara Tuchman.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guns_of_August
@@jameshaury2716 Daniel4646's comment is actually the real story. It started because France started a Campaign against Prussia known as "Revanchism", a political manifestation of the will to reverse territorial losses incurred from the War that France started.
They basically fed the belief into their own people that Prussia stole the territories and made it look like the Prussians, and by extension, the German people, had no right to _EXIST._
Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination was simply the excuse for France to further escalate things... Which led to the Treaty of Versallies after World War One and severe overtaxing of Germany on the part of France, and resulted in the rise of the Third Reich that would inevitably lead to world war two.
Revanchism was basically the leading cause of Two World wars.
@@Daniel4646 ye by some Serbian due to Austrian Hungrian threat to serbian independence
The beat boxing really made this scene
There is more beatboxing from that German
@@sSteppingStones I think it was the reason I bought the movie lmao
Gert Frobe did a remarkable job as Colonel con Holstein in this movie.
I watched this movie last night and it’s still hilarious even after all these years.
real
@@sSteppingStones he also starred in the sequel ‘Those Daring Young Men In Their Jaunty Jalopies’
i had no idea👀
@@sSteppingStones Yeah, he didn’t reprise his character though. In the second one he’s a prisoner who escapes from jail and is forced to assume the identity of a famous German race car driver.
Terry-Thomas also starred in the sequel but as the son of his character in the first one.
If anything the second one is just as wacky as the first despite only retaining a few of the original cast.
I remember checking this movie out as a DVD from my local library some years ago when I was about 9. Really nice to see one of the most memorable scenes pop up in my recommended 7 ears later :)
😎
Earliest dogfight.
Real
that ain't a dogfight that's a canine dispute
very good mannered game. even said GG at the end. (GEEEE GEEEE)
That is Gert Fröbe who I fondly remember as Räuber Hotzenplotz in the film of the same name (1974), but he may be better known as the villain in Goldfinger...
He's been in a lot of films
THAT'S RÄUBER HOTZENPLOTZ?! Omg. This hit me right in the childhood.
@@kiwwat4139 Great that you feel the same! It's always been my favourite Hotzenplotz film
I feel like this somehow represents modern healthcare
Gerd Fröbe.. now THAT was an actor.

I’ve watched this over 20 times and I continue to do the same, I don’t know why.
I just came home a bit ping pong tiddly from the pub and the algorithm gave me this; excellent.

These were the types of movies I'd see as a kid in the early 90s and if I stay up late at night. When our island had like 5-6 channels.
No wonder those spiky helmets were replaced with flat and rounded ones

I like how italy always get the impact everytime something happens in europe

The italian guy just randomly appearing
He was test flying a flying machine
Wait to you see Fröbe trying to fly a plane by reading the instruction manual.
"Step One: sit down."
'The same way we do everything else in the German army...'
'*from the book of instructions*'
Merci du partage! Le bon cinéma d'autrefois! Stéph.
One of my favorites; I think I still have the VHS somewhere
i love the fact that the german popped a hole in his balloon cause of his pointy hat XD
Yeal lmao
@@sSteppingStonespoor guy, if we was a gunner he would win because the artillery hat has a ball 😂
Amazing that we have such crisp footage of the Franco-Prussian War 🙏

I came for the title and I think I actually saw this as a kid my dad was watching it
better special effects than today

An actual portrait of Europe's reality: Fight among neighbours! Nothing changes........
The perfect duel doesn't exi-
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Can recommend giving it a watch.
Same for me and yes, definitely watch it
1:22 "VIVE LA FRANCE! OUAGH!"

Real
They shot down a flying saucer! Lol
real
I find this representation of the state of affairs quite accurate.
I agree
french and german rivality explained
Recommendations on point
Men in balloons shouldn’t shoot blunderbusses.
Apart from French and German men
I thought Germany was against using shotguns!
I mean blunderbuss is somewhat a shotgun
1:42 Kaiser wilhelm and the other guy helping the guy 😂😂😂

man this film was wild, i still have the VHS stashed somewhere :D

True that
What the hell did I just watch and why was it funny as hell lol
German man fights French man in a balloon with blunderbuss
You watched an excerpt from an old and really good British comedy movie called "Those Magnificent Men And Their Flying Machines."
This is far from being the funniest scene in that movie.
@@BillPurkayastha I might upload 'The German book of instructions' next...
They ran into the only guy with an airplaine

Our prudent Emperor of Austria had the balloons made from steel plates! That's why not a single Austrian balloon was shot down in the First World War!
This is the most European fight ever.
