This battle scene is goofy and unrealistic, but I must admit it is still very entertaining, and it definitely has the adventurous spirit of the "Indiana Jones" franchise. Also, the relatively period accurate uniforms and weapons/ equipment are a nice touch.
Kinda reminds me of the scene in first Mummy movie where the French Foreign Legion is barricaded again Tuareg like horsemen. The weaponry resembles the bolt action Mauser. Very deadly rifle with a nasty knockdown bullet.
Yep, the episode was also explicit that the British, French, and Belgian rulers in Africa were equally as bad as the Germans when Indy said to a Congo soldier that they were fighting to free Africa from German imperialism.
@@paulle1899 No, they weren't "equally as bad". The Belgians made native oppression a gruesome art form, with brutal mutilations (Didn't meet your rubber quota? Death. But we're too cheap to waste the bullet to kill you, so we'll just cut off your right hand and tell our boss you're dead. Good luck meeting quota next month...) and between 1.5 million and 13 million deaths.
These episodes are very different from what my grandfather told me about his service in WWI, Mexico before & Russia after the communist take over. But this is about as close, as our generation will ever come to it. Combining these episodes, my memories of him & the type of man he was. Helps me to realize his tremendous spirit & ability. Long lost with age as I came to know him in childhood. He was covered with scars, in constant agony from shrapnel in both legs. & he feared to meet his maker.
Dang, for a TV show, that was a really good battle scene. I hope whoever was in charge of the set pieces, sound, and choreography got recognized for it and was hired for future projects.
the first battle of bull run had similar problems precisely because noone wore the same uniforms militias voulenteer companies companies raised by rich guys all had there own uniform in many cases as gaudy as possible.both sides had units they couldnt identify as friend or foe at the battle of the road the union were pulled back when they could flank the enemy as the general watching from afar sent orders to retreat when they were winning! he thought the unfamiliar uniforms of the rebs were his men and the position captured!
I read the book "La Marche Maudite" (The Cursed March) in French about this very episode and the subsequent march across Congo and Gabon to recover the guns. A very enjoyable, historical and educational read.

Forget historical accuracy,this was a damn fine action series,with high production values.
Lots of comments re the Young Indy angle, accuracy of action, historical accuracy, etc, etc. The thing I liked most in the opening firstly when the African soldiers grinned at/with him and again that they joined with him at thereby of the ep. What that brought home is that fighting men are brothers regardless of rank and role and colour, etc. Also, that courage knows no artificial bounds, despite what early films tended to show.
Les combattant sont frères.....? ? Waouh Où avez vous vu ça....en 14-18 certains prenaient des balles dans le dos...Dans toutes les guerres les soldats réglaient leur compte su le champ de bataille....Désolé...
Мой прапрадед воплотил в реальности подвиг князя Андрея Болконского из "Войны и мира" Толстого, тоже так в Первую Мировую поднял знамя и повёл за собой в атаку. Но, в отличие от него, не выжил, ранение в бедро и умер, не приходя в сознание, в госпитале.
The former colonialist European ethnic groups particularly as the French, Belgium and German were morally committed and determined to employed, recruit, combat and generously side with African black soldiers whom were faithfully handpicked from different African nations of the present day East Africa. Turning points of the common humanity rights and dignity establishment of the international United Nations(UN) policy purchase to highly acknowledge respecting, tolerating and accommodating overall common human races regardless to their mutual skin colours and etched around the world.

The setting of this movie was WWI in Africa=PRE UN. The "native troops" were used basically as expendable cannon fodder which was preferable to using white European soldiers or white colonialists as cannon fodder; whenever possible.
@@Frank-mm2yp King Leopold of Belgium was responsible for upwards of ten million native deaths in his greed to make his personal fortune and then Belgium a European power thru rubber plantations. The Belgium government wasn’t much better and hung onto power in Africa for too long like the rest of the colonising powers leading up to the disaster that Africa is now. The Cold War games ‘tween USSR and USA didn’t help either.
A wise young leutenant would say, " I saw the opportunity and thought 'what would my commander do if he saw this opening?' That would make the ranking officer happy."
1 this is a american tv-show, what do they know. 2 we still respect and honor the sacrifices made by the britisch by keeping the gravesites neat and tidy, by playing the last post everyday in ypres and by holding a ceremony every armistice-day
I am a Brit yet I have always thought that Lettow Von Vorbeck was one of the most amazing leaders in the entirety of WWI. He managed to do more with less than anyone else before or after. His exploits in East Africa read like something out of a fictional novel and yet his activities were all to real. Outgunned and outnumbered with almost no support he outfoxed the British and South Africans on numerous occasions and kept his force in being right up to the end of the war. A truly resourceful and inspirational leader. Hollywood should make a film about his exploits (but they won't because by their rules Germans in wartime have to be the 'baddies').
Lettow Vorbeck was associated with the right wing in post war German politics. He may have been an anti semite (as many were at that time). This does not condone it but it also does not diminish his outstanding performance during WWI. Using a person's political leanings to blacken their achievements is a well known and much used leftist tactic to discredit anyone who does not follow their beliefs. You are correct, however, about Hollywood's attitude to war, nationality and many other things. All so as to not offend or upset America's self image.
In military history records of the World War II, we African soldiers were generous and courageous to backup the European countries such as Beligian soldiers (consisted) of African soldiers to defeat their opponent German soldiers that were combined with African soldiers serving and fighting on their side of the battlefield war.
@@JohnDoe-fu6zt ROFL a tiny impact would not knock a man off his feet - nor do rifle rounds for that matter. More to the point, it took (minimum) 6.35 mm of steel to stop a rifle bullet.
@@andrewstrongman305It's okay. Droll understatement just isn't your forte. As an alternative to an 8mm round, I suggested a flying button might have done the damage. In all that mayhem, there are bound to be several lost buttons.
A guess before a google search: WW1, German Empire vs. Belgium, central or south east Africa. Not sure who the Native Troopers are, or the Tribal Auxiliaries.
Young Indy learns a true lesson in Africa and how nations are trying to muster power from local people. He also learns what a measure of person can do and joins the Intelligence and stop the great war
@@jmc2903 Didn't look into the history of this action, but sounded like English and German askari forces. Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck led an amazing campaign almost the entire length of WWI against the Allied colonial forces, tying down around 10 times the number of his troops.
Nice sound design by #skywalkersound 's Ben Burtt, who edited the opening battle scene, and sound editor Chris Scarabosio. Interesting to note the stock sound effect explosion at 03:45 - cheesy, but fun to listen to regardless. The score of Joel McNeely is all too memorable. #soundmatters
The uniforms look quite similar but...the Germans colonial troops wear more straight shape "fezzes" with a symbol/mark in the front, the Belgians colonial troops wear more conic "fezzez" without any symbol/mark on them...

oh shit
oh fuck
After they killed 3 million Africans. Only Hitler and Stalin excelled at that.

Sorry, nothing here is close to anything that actually happened. It's typical 80's George Lucas/Steven Spielberg-adventure stuff
Dang, for a TV show, that was a really good battle scene. I hope whoever was in charge of the set pieces, sound, and choreography got recognized for it and was hired for future projects.
thats the problem with fighting in the snow or the sand both armys always have to look the same in order to be properly camouflaged
I mean, they could always make their uniforms different shades of white or gray or yellow
the first battle of bull run had similar problems precisely because noone wore the same uniforms militias voulenteer companies companies raised by rich guys all had there own uniform in many cases as gaudy as possible.both sides had units they couldnt identify as friend or foe at the battle of the road the union were pulled back when they could flank the enemy as the general watching from afar sent orders to retreat when they were winning! he thought the unfamiliar uniforms of the rebs were his men and the position captured!
armies
and that they forgot the friendly fire?
Careful very much allsss resico.
gotta say I love the rubber bayonets lol
Like the officer ,"machinegun !" . Cheers for that Sherlock
4:23 “they are retreating the wrong direction”
*faceplams* No they are charging
Remy: "They're retreating in the wrong direction!"
How does one retreat in the wrong direction? The right direction is anywhere the enemy isn't.
Max Gajevic hum, I never thought of it that way.
And they were charging the machinegun nest
Hahahaahah this is the best comment I have ever seen (and trust me I've seen a lot of them).
Urrraaaa...Took a bunch of rocks in the middle of the desert....200 people put...Ingeniously.
Love it! I love theyse episodes and how they brought the pictures to life I never got to see the whole season or how many seasons were made
Another great young Indiana Jones episode
That was quite a clip. Machine gun jammed WTF, that's not possible is it war. DuH yeah they were not infallibly. Over all cute. Thanks📣📣📣📣
It must be interesting to fight in a general melee when both sides wear essentially identical uniforms.
...and the same color race. ;-)
Who's who?
-- BR
At least the western allies seem to use local tribes as a part of their forces, so half of their army is easily identified...
this is the most confusing battle i ever watched
@Jackson Dawson i never really like robots
@Jackson Dawson oh yea i know what you mean

Hell of a pendant blocking an 8mm round. But I love how at the end the colonel pairs two who need to learn from each other.
Back in the day in old movies it was invariably a pocket Bible, that saved your life. But that was then.......
In the beginning he got shot like he didn't give a fuck hahahahah
There is nothing more quaint than having a spear in a machinegun war.
indian soilders= brave,loyal, best soilders.. they till their enemy's death.. they born to win.✌️
СУЩНОСТЬ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКА ЗВЕРИНА. ЭТО ПРИРОДА !!!!!!!!!!
Not what I expected, very good episode. In fact, I think it's the best I've seen so far. Don't much like the younger Indy when he's a toddler.
A beautiful Granatenwerfer 16!

Lovely, My Dear, just lovely war at it's finest.
amazing video
Indy to Natives with spears: You just brought a spear... to a trench fight! Hey, that’s pretty catchy! Might use it on my unknown son!
Yes let's attack the high ground.
Me reí con este video,una comedia más MADE in HOLLYWOOD..Los africanos encantados de morir en la guerra imperialista de sus amos europeos.
10:40 - 10:47 he has a lot of nerve to say that seeing as the British got in the war to protect Belgium
