If you had a turret blown off your tank by an 88, the spallation (hot metal fragments generated) would kill the occupants There are stories about crews being hit by 88s in Pershing tanks. One driver survived because the shell entered between his legs, hit the back of the fighting compartment then richocheted up, killing the rest of the crew. Another where the coaxial machine gun got hit and bounced around the inside of the tank, killing all the crew minus driver or radio operator. In this movie, Telly Savalas simply ducks and then gets out of the tank...
I see the arm chair brigade is here. The tanks used and the area was in Spain. Most of the tanks needed to be accurate were no longer available. And this before CGI.
tbh, back then in polish and russian WWII movies, they would forge and assemble front, side plates, build over chassis and towers of T34s in order to have "panthers" or "tigers", still looked more reali than this movie...
I enjoyed watching it to, accuracy, 0, entertainment, 10/10. Like what Flint said VP: Why did you kill those 2 soldiers Flint: They were wearing Battle of the Bulge ribbons VP: There were no Battle of the Bulge ribbons Flint: Exactly!
I was only 9 years old when I saw this with my dad and I couldn't help myself by yelling out: "Hey, those aren't German tanks, those are American tanks with German markings!".
Monty was almost "tanked", BY THE BRITISH, for taking too much credit for doing nothing controlling the north shoulder of the Bulge! According to Mark Felton the British lost 2,000 casualties, about 400 KIA, during the "Bulge", the US lost around 80,000 KIA, MIA, captured! Monty should have taken and cleared the port of Antwerp in September 1944! It's a movie, which means entertainment is more important than accuracy! The British fought for years more than the US, but the US saved NZ, Australia, and helped drive the Japanese back to Japan, which helped the British!
The filmmakers did the best with what they had at the time. Obviously German tanks and all other equipment from WWII had been destroyed by the time this movie was made! We'll done!
@@chrisjensonveryaccurateres1065 Not so inaccurate, the book Hitler's last gamble will have information on that and even though the film was generalized it portrayed what the seventh armored division went through at st vith including the part with the cooks and staff and with stragglers from the seventh armored actually at a depot sending down barrels to stop a panzer unit.
A great 👍 film and performances 👌. A evocation of real events and not 100% accurate. Yet conjures some very incisive scenes to press home the spirit of what happened. Bravo❤️👏

“We will reach,and capture Antwerp!” Great,what then?” “Um……..”
This was a great opportunity to make an epic film about a momentous battle in World War 2. It could have been up there with "The Longest Day" "A Bridge Too Far" (which was of course later). Instead it was farcical, comic book stuff.
Mistakes: -Chaffees used as M4 shermans (There were plenty of shermans so its a major "bruh" for the stupod director.) -M47 Patton used as Tiger iis (Those are rare and none were available at that time and should have at least done more research and use small scale tanks to make it impressive.) -The director really had a poor decision organising the filming location. (Spain is not snowy enough. Should have chosen Buldge during december.)
When Henry Fonda borrows the M1 rifle to take a shot at Col. Hessler, the rear sight is missing, mistake? My guess is the director didn't want anything obstructing Fonda's big, baby blues.
Wait a minute, are both Red Grant (From Russia With Love) and Blofeld (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) in this movie? I guess Bond (Dr. No-Diamonds are Forever) is fighting off against Stromberg (The Spy Who Loved Me) and Goldfinger on Normandy? P.S. This movie has two actors who are involved in Bond movies as well as The Longest Day which has three (Connery faced off against Gert Frobe aka Goldfinger while Curd Jurgens will be opposed by Roger Moore)
Don't be misled by this Hollywood production. 'The Battle of the Bulge - Brave Rifles', available on TH-cam, is a documentary, accurate, and inspiring by true events. IT was nominated for an Academy Award! Larry
This movie was full of crap. I live near Ardennes. Wrong tanks. Wrong historical info?!!!! 50 hours? The battle lasted a month.. Movie was partially shot in spain.. With desert. Even Eisenhower told on radio this was to bad to watch..
Imagine going back in time and telling an average American how the cultural life is now, they'd think you're possessed by the devil to think of such things.
They should have, but the Germans didn't have the fuel reserves for flanking by that point in the war. Also, air superiority pretty much belonged to the allies by that point, so a flanking maneuver was even riskier. (The Germans first attacked when cloud cover was at its thickest to try to avoid being bombed by heavy bombers or strafed my ground attack planes. (P-47 Thunderbolt, British Hawker Hurricane's)
So ridiculously inaccurate I can no longer enjoy it, even though I thought is was very entertaining when I was young. I thought the last stand at the fuel depot was an awesome scene. Too bad entirely fiction.
A little piece of black country trivia; this was the last film to ever be screened at Brierley Hills Danilo cinema, before closing its doors for the final Time
They no longer existed.By 1945 and the the last battle for Berlin the German army its tanks were almost completely destroyed by the allies.Only a handful exist today.
it wasn,t long after the war was over that just about ALL the REAL German armored vehicles,aircraft and other combat equipment had been scrapped if it hadn,t already been destroyed in combat. very little "real stuff" exists today in museums and even less in drivable/operating/flying condition. also,Germany,s premier WW2 tanks such as the Henschel Tiger 1,s and King Tigers and Panthers weren,t produced in the vast numbers like US and even more so Russian tanks. we built over 50,000 M4 Shermans and the Russians produced over 100,000 T-34,a in addition to tens of thousands of other Soviet heavy armor types whereas only about 1500 Tiger 1,s and perhaps 500-ish Tiger 2/King Tigers were completed and delivered. around 6000 for the Panther.
Kelly's Heroes had better mock-ups of the German tanks. At least they did some metal work to make a Tiger look somewhat like a real Tiger. This film was so half-assed they used stock M-48's for "Tigers" and "Panthers" even their version of "Panzerlied" repeated the first verse over and over again. Lazy shit from top to bottom, but most people don't notice, so that OK?
Wie sollten die Filmemacher 1965 soviele Königstiger oder Panther in diesem Film zeigen? Es gibt ja heute nur höchstens 5 Fahrbereite auf der gesamten Welt. In neueren Filmen werden die Einstellungen entsprechend manipuliert.
The films been shown maybe two or three times over the Xmas period in the UK. It's still terrible though - what where they thinking? It's not as though quality film portrayals of WW2 hadn't been made in the 1950's and '60s so there's no excuse for this turkey... Just awful - badly plotted, terrible script, hammy acting and so historically inaccurate it's farcical. All in all an insult to those who lived through the actual Battle itself.
watched it time and time again as a young teen together with my best friend. never gets old.
Robert Shaw was just excellent in this. Best performance in the film.
I remember reading that this movie was son inaccurate that Eisenhower disavowed it
Mi tío abuelo participó en aquella película. Era comandante de un Patton del ejército español ( Panzer VI en el film), en Madrid y Segovia. Recuerdo que tenía fotos del rodaje en su casa, disfrazado de alemán ( con aquella gorra negra y la Calavera)
he hungered for a Fridge Too Far... now he faces The Battle of the Bulge
Accuracy 2/10
Entertaining 8/10
Theme music 10/10
that was the theme music of this movie?
Maybe he's referring to the "Panzerlied", a german song that is used in this movie a lot
Obs Stürmt, oder schneit, ob die Sonne uns scheint...
@@north4169 Der Tag glühend heiß und eiskalt die Nacht...
I agreed.
Eisenhower couldn't get enough of this flick.
0:21 ...the biggest battle of the mightiest war..
*Kursk and Stalingrad have entered the chat*
Plus the _Hürtgen Forest_
for a battle to be the biggest, the americans have to be involved ;)
Only Telly Salavas could survive the turret blown off his tank and live to fight on with a .50 machine gun.
If you had a turret blown off your tank by an 88, the spallation (hot metal fragments generated) would kill the occupants
There are stories about crews being hit by 88s in Pershing tanks. One driver survived because the shell entered between his legs, hit the back of the fighting compartment then richocheted up, killing the rest of the crew. Another where the coaxial machine gun got hit and bounced around the inside of the tank, killing all the crew minus driver or radio operator.
In this movie, Telly Savalas simply ducks and then gets out of the tank...
"Don't forget to feed the chickens huh", that must've been some kind kiss😆😆
I see the arm chair brigade is here. The tanks used and the area was in Spain. Most of the tanks needed to be accurate were no longer available. And this before CGI.
And the accurate tank is ...?
tbh, back then in polish and russian WWII movies, they would forge and assemble front, side plates, build over chassis and towers of T34s in order to have "panthers" or "tigers", still looked more reali than this movie...
I got this film as a birthday gift. My opinion, not accurate in the slightest, but like John Wayne's version of "The Alamo" it was very entertaining.
I enjoyed watching it to, accuracy, 0, entertainment, 10/10. Like what Flint said
VP: Why did you kill those 2 soldiers
Flint: They were wearing Battle of the Bulge ribbons
VP: There were no Battle of the Bulge ribbons
Flint: Exactly!
I was only 9 years old when I saw this with my dad and I couldn't help myself by yelling out: "Hey, those aren't German tanks, those are American tanks with German markings!".
THIS, KELLYS HEROES, AND THE DIRTY DOZEN, MY THREE FAVORITE WAR MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should watch U-Boot 96, a masterpiece. The best of war films.
Although I find this Movie very entertaining, my favorites are, Sink the Bismarck, Midway and In Harms Way.
Can you believe the actor who played the main villain Martin Hessler in this film is the same guy who years later would go on to play Quint in JAWS?
And the Russian assassin in From Russia with Love!
And Darth Vader
Yes, and he only lived to be 51, died of heart attack.
He was also in “The Deep” and “The Sting”.
From a student of WWII, the most unrealistic war movie ever made
Highly Fictionalized wasn't it. There was no tank battle where the US sacrificed their armor in order to make the Nazis run out of gas
In 1967 I had seen this movie and thrilled as I was connected with manufacturing in my twenties. Thanks.
Best performance of Panzerlied song ever
I once saw a group of French Foreign Legionaires singing the same, exact melody as Panzerlied, but of course they were singing in French.
Except that they kept repeating the first verse.
@@garfieldsmith332 They did that because they where scared they would have been seen as n@z1 supporters. Crazy, but yeah.
There were too many boys.... 😂
So the 55,000 British and Canadian combatants don’t get a mention.
Mark Felton
Monty was almost "tanked", BY THE BRITISH, for taking too much credit for doing nothing controlling the north shoulder of the Bulge! According to Mark Felton the British lost 2,000 casualties, about 400 KIA, during the "Bulge", the US lost around 80,000 KIA, MIA, captured!

WHO?
If Canadians want their own propaganda they must pay to produce their own war propaganda.

We'll done!
I agree totally, although its very inaccurate, its entertaining and they had to use a beefy tank to represent a Tiger II, hence the M47

Battle of the Bulge Tanks are acting more than men actors
hahah germans using M47 Patton from 50s XD
NO TENIAN PARA LA PELICULA KING TIGERS 2
M26 pershings
And the Americans are equipped with M-24 Chaffers.
German Tanks are hard to come by. But this film is so inaccurate, it is laughable.
Honestly thats the least offensive part I can't get over how nice that weather is.
Yeah it has a lot of historical inaccuracies, real discrepancies and silly fake shots that old movies usually suffer but still a decent war film
There's one thing better than the "good old days", if such a movie were made today they'd definitely make a better effort at historical accuracy.
There are literally ZERO reasons why that would be.
Best movie about the Battle of the Bulge is "Battleground" from 1949. Or better yet, episode 6 and 7 of Band of Brothers.
@@canaanclb
Yes. There has to something better.
Totally disappointing film.
Red Tails says not necessarily.
Liked the music
Not accurate but Robert Shaw acting genus!
A great 👍 film and performances 👌. A evocation of real events and not 100% accurate. Yet conjures some very incisive scenes to press home the spirit of what happened. Bravo❤️👏
“We will reach,and capture Antwerp!” Great,what then?” “Um……..”
Not historically accurate with real WW2 battle of the bulge but entertaining enough
Germans looks more glorious than allies.
Great movie i loved it
Dam if Telly Savales can get a hot French girl like that there’s hope for me !
She was supposed to be Belgian.
Who loves ya, baby?
2:38 - patented voice in every movie in the 40-50s
The Narrator was Willian Conrad, starred in Cannon
Robert shaw the panzer commander starred in jaws as the shark hunter
And in From Russia with love - James Bond
Also as Custer, the Indian fighter.
Don't forget 'the taking of phelem 123', better than the remake.
And the war movie Force 10 from Navarone
My son would watch this Movie every week for about 2 years in the 90s, he thought Colonel Hessler was the best.
The trailer voice over might have well as said "starring everybody".
This was a great opportunity to make an epic film about a momentous battle in World War 2.
It could have been up there with
"The Longest Day" "A Bridge Too Far"
(which was of course later).
Instead it was farcical, comic book stuff.
Mistakes:
-Chaffees used as M4 shermans (There were plenty of shermans so its a major "bruh" for the stupod director.)
-M47 Patton used as Tiger iis
(Those are rare and none were available at that time and should have at least done more research and use small scale tanks to make it impressive.)
-The director really had a poor decision organising the filming location. (Spain is not snowy enough. Should have chosen Buldge during december.)
Spain never used M4 Sherman's, but M24 Chaffee's. So they used the tanks they were available.
And there is enough snow in Spain.
When Henry Fonda borrows the M1 rifle to take a shot at Col. Hessler, the rear sight is missing, mistake? My guess is the director didn't want anything obstructing Fonda's big, baby blues.
Clocks..... Maps.... Toys.... But with what will we fight??
"it proves that the Germans are still the world's best..."Toymakers "😮😂😂😂

P.S. This movie has two actors who are involved in Bond movies as well as The Longest Day which has three (Connery faced off against Gert Frobe aka Goldfinger while Curd Jurgens will be opposed by Roger Moore)
English actor Robert Shaw played both Col Hessler and Red Grant. Telly Savalas played both Cuffy and Blofeld
the director like... just get any tanks and put German army symbol on it. Lmao...
Where were they going to get the Tigers and Panthers for the film? You do realize that the Germans lost the war right?
Talking to himself there
Don't be misled by this Hollywood production. 'The Battle of the Bulge - Brave Rifles', available on TH-cam, is a documentary, accurate, and inspiring by true events. IT was nominated for an Academy Award! Larry
Mr. Fonda looks like Gen. Omar Bradley...
終わりの方は昔のハリウッドのプロパガンダ映画的な感じで無茶苦茶だったけどほとんどの部分は面白かった
whats that song that starts at 4:34?
The German tanks look weird in the trailer...
Nut's
I’m pretty sure I have this on DVD somewhere in my house
Also best part: th-cam.com/video/8JDkdc246QQ/w-d-xo.html
I thought this video was going to be about Rosie Odonnald's struggle to lose weight!
Well I want to purchase this DVD where available in India
Posta em português ou legendado
nuts.
This movie was full of crap.
I live near Ardennes.
Wrong tanks.
Wrong historical info?!!!!
50 hours? The battle lasted a month..
Movie was partially shot in spain..
With desert.
Even Eisenhower told on radio this was to bad to watch..
And this movie had clear blue skies for most of the filming! Larry
"Petrol iz Blood"
In Battle of the Buldge Germans used tiger 2 (king tiger) and panther. who made this movie, Inspector Clouseau ???
It was only 50 hours 😊
It's still has grease in the barrel.
Somebody please upload it!
Thanks
Buy it or rent it, nothing comes for free.
Perché non pubblicare il film intero anche a pagamento invece di spezzoni è in lingua italiana
Imagine going back in time and telling an average American how the cultural life is now, they'd think you're possessed by the devil to think of such things.
My grandpa was there
Should Not a German Frontal Attack but the Most Mobile Panzers Bypass Front then Strike the Least American Defended Sides and Back.
They should have, but the Germans didn't have the fuel reserves for flanking by that point in the war. Also, air superiority pretty much belonged to the allies by that point, so a flanking maneuver was even riskier.

Getting shot because of baseball statistics

My only problem with this movie is the modern tanks
make Germany great again!!
The battle of the bulge wasn't the biggest battle it was stalingrad
Actually it was the Battle of Kursk
Not very accurate the British also played an important part in the battle but for some political reason they are seldom mentioned.
If only they used original German tanks during the making of this film, it would have been much better.
They no longer existed.By 1945 and the the last battle for Berlin the German army its tanks were almost completely destroyed by the allies.Only a handful exist today.

Pis poor movie.looks nothing like ardennes
Worst movie ever. it should be banned. as its extremely false.even eisenhower said it on radio.50 hours? the battle took a month!
Nighthawk Dutch chameleon yes it was false I study history but I still kinda like it (even the amercian massacre scene)
Your Welcome
This movie is so innacurate, one of the worst American war movies. Not even an adventure film. Pure crap.
Explain pls.

Tbh, the budget was outrageous, excellent filming locations, they leased an entire brigade of m-47 pattons and hired nearly every star out there.
Actually the tanks were Pershings painted up as Tigers.
Nope, m47 pattons, you can look it up if you don't believe me.
The Philippines' German Human Honourable Faith Battle.

movie is great ...but .. how funny it seems when all nazis talk in english ;-)
Als ob Die Wehrmacht mit nem Tank aus den 60er (M60) rumgeeiert is ...lächerlich der Film

Ruined by use of the wrong tanks. The correct ones were available. Poor work.
