Fury. April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

You see 4 tanks moving in line. A good strategy is to hit the front tank first to halt the convoy and the last tank to trap the last 2 tanks. But Brad Pitt was in front so gotta change the strategy.
You know, I thought that too, but I think the strategy is to reduce not eliminate. One Tiger, regardless of build quality, would not survive that many tanks. The best would be to destroy the rear, take out 1 or 2 more, then retreat, regroup and re-engage. I'm no strategist, but I think that would work better.
@@Damon-qt3fw one tiger was worth five shermans and standard engagement practices was to hit the lead vehicle when targeting a convoy to halt and disrupt the convoys formation
The guys who made the film admitted it. They said the Tiger almost certainly would have smoked Fury first, it was the lead tank and it was also an Easy 8 with the 76mm. Fury actually could have penetrated the front armor of the Tiger at those short ranges. But, that would have made for a shit movie so they had it pop a different tank.
@@Elthenar that’s just bad script writing then. Should of had fury in the middle or very back. To not show to obvious.
@@macasaurusrex4863 no one tiger was not worth 5 shermans. Regaurdless assuming the tiger had not engaged fury with its first shot the tiger would have been dead, Fury would could pierce its frontal armor from that distance. There's also the issue the tiger would face of the other shermans shooting smoke at it.
I can't imagine how terrifying tank combat must have been. Knowing the next moment could be the one you explode in... and knowing that for days at a time. Those fellows had balls made of the same steel their tanks were.
That's how it is for ship crews as well. Tens, hundreds, or thousands of crew all manning stations enclosed in the ship's steel walls. Hearing announcements over the ship's internal communications system, and only knowing by the numbers and positions announced whether you are about to die. If there's even an announcement before the big moment. If there isn't, then it's everyone else who hears the announcement of what just happened to everyone in your location.
Them fellas were the balls their tanks were dragging on the ground.
Tbh Any vehicle combat would be terrifying Sky, water, and land. they were the ones targeted, and usually only needed one good shot for everyone aboard to die. Imo the boats would be the worst at least in a tank or plane you usually get decimated along with it.
@@rhysjones1108 I think the boats would be the better one to be in, because there’s a lot more room for error on the enemies part. Like you’d have a better chance of surviving if your ship was getting lit up cause there is just so much of it. But like planes and tanks are only so big, and you got no room to go anywhere, you are literally stuck. I mean yeah if you survived a ship attack you’d just be stranded in the ocean, but you can still surivive that by staying afloat and doing your best to find land, or just pray that someone comes to rescue in time.
@Rhys Jones losing a tank crew or plane crew from their vehicle being taken out results in far less casualties than a battle ship getting struck and sunk. For a tank crew you lose like 4 or 5 people, for a plane crew you'd lose anywhere from 2-30 people, but a ship sinking can take out hundreds to thousands of people

Huh and they agreed to just let Brad Pitt destroy it in a movie like that?! Not cool.
Are you serious? 🤯Holy shit.
@@pogromcagrazynek8214 :D
The fear on Roy's face you can tell he knew his days were numbered. Good acting. Epic scene.
I was thinking the same thing That actor played the hell out of that scene
He knew he had to sacrifice himself so that the 76 can deal with the tiger. Even though in reality it would have knocked out the 76 first and the 76 can go through a tiger front plate at that range so the whole having to get behind it thing was rediculous anyway. But still. For entertainment purposes it does the job. I still enjoyed it
That actor who played Roy did a great job of looking completely terrified and still being able to function.
Juxtaposed with the German tank commander's voice. German can be such an intimidating sounding language: you don't have to understand it to be scared!
@@smolwavingsnail9028 i mean were Not watching a documentary here, lol.
Pretty accurate scene. American tank losses in tank vs tank encounters in WWII were pretty awful. There was an old saying: how do you kill a Tiger tank with a single Sherman? Start with 5 Shermans
Germans were seriously undermanned, just look up pilot kills ww2, top 200 in most confirmed kills were overwhelmingly german aces. Having the world attack you from all sides, can't imagine what they must have felt.
@Delta Recon06 American smoke shells were white phosphorus commonly called “Willy Pete” you might want to google what white phosphorus burns look like and realize that the tiger has many open ports like the drivers port etc. you could sit in that and burn, or retreat in which you can’t see whether or not your being flanked or advance head on. Everything else is correct and most American shermans would have been 76mm in 1945 which is when this movie takes place I could be wrong but I doubt there’d only be 1 76mm sherman
I read in Death Traps, a book by a guy in a maintenance battalion during the war, they could have produced Pershing’s during mid-44 but at a board meeting between industrialists and Payton, Payton refused, saying the Sherman was more suited for the Army’s combat doctrine of the day which was go around and hit the supply lines. Pretty much we could have had the Pershing earlier in the war but Patton being a stickler for the rules, killed it, making it show up roughly at the war/after the war. IIRC and IMO.
American tank losses in any encounter were far from awful. The Sherman had the highest survival rating, for the crews and the vehicles, of any WW2 tank. And the 5 shermans for a tiger is a myth that originates from Shermans always travelling in groups of 5.
@@exiledadrian103 Death Traps is not a good source, it's been routinely disproven by historians. He was a mechanic, he only saw destroyed tanks. He never saw them in the field
Every soldier has a story. May they all be remembered forever.
Sadly most are forgotten and their sacrifices used disgustingly.
The west dosent care about history and the world wars and history is being distort and its up to simple people who interest in the truth spread the word cause what you leard in history at school isint even 1/10 of what realy happened and some stories arent even told who are also interesting
War is old men talking and young men dying
Grew up in Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD around these tanks. You could almost feel and hear those soldiers talking to you when you were walking around them in the museum. I ended up enlisting as Artillery but toured those battle fields in France and Germany back in the 90’s. Best experience I had was at Meuse-Argonne.
When the shells are just bouncing off of the Tiger Tank and not causing any damage, that to me is the most terrifying part of this scene. Gives those who are trying to kill you a sense of immortality. That you don't have a single chance in the world.
Those Tiger's could take a hit better than Angelina Jolie.
Except any of those Shermans would have been able to penetrate the armor on a tiger
@@slpater1 sure from the side or back, sometimes. I was wondering when a contrararian troll would show up. What took you so long?
@@andrewf0784 The gun on Fury could have easily penned the front of the Tiger 1 at that distance.
@@andrewf0784 2 of the Shermans could've penetrated the front of the Tiger. The first Sherman that got shot, and Fury. The Tiger commander would've targetted Fury or the other 76 first. But then there would be no movie.
This scene scares the shit out of me everytime, the fact they survive, and the emotional aftermath from surviving is utterly crushing. The acting here is phenomenal.
You call that acting...?. Sesame Street does it better.
@@someoneelse.2252 Are you blind, tarded or just trolling for some spergout?
the battle was gripping, and it is good this clip included the aftermath part. Each character pulled themselves together, or something, but each was clearly at the edge of sanity at the end of the battle. And such close quarters, to communicate a moment from character to character! That's skilled film-making. In like 3 minutes we learn who these people are at a pretty far-out-there level, and the actors pull it off imo. Pitt can carry this kind of weight as a lead, too. The aftermath is what really gets me about this scene. The battle sinks in for the viewer, too.
Nothing is more scary than a Tiger tank with a high-velocity 88 mm.
>acting.
I can’t imagine being like my deceased grandfather and his brothers who were in this war. So much respect!!
got a picture around here of my grandfather with a m60 tank... with a hole blown in the side... he stood 6'3.... and the hole was half his size on the side of the turret. it was one of his companies tanks in Vietnam.
США?
This was common with Sherman tanks. They got the reputation as death traps.
The error in the script is that this tank would go on alone. Tanks did not advance by themselves.

Thanks to our brave men and women who served in our Armed Forces during World War II. We owe you a huge debt of gratitude that we will ALWAYS remember.
You mean the Soviet Union? They were true heroes. US entered the war last quarter.
The low music when the tiger is revealed is genius
Yeah, it gave that ominous "final boss" vibe
And the engine revving up is like an actual tiger growling as it is about to attack its prey.
The tiger tank can take some freaking hits
These things were legendary on the western front - even the best armor corps feared squaring up to a tiger
Американцы молодцы даже в обычном бою покажут себя бессмертными и будут сидеть в открытом люке показывая мы крутые
Logan Lerman's (Norman's) acting in this scene is underrated. You can see a perfect mix between rage and fear in his face and that he is trying to overcome his sympathy toward the enemy.
The guy playing Roy the other tank commander did a good job of looking completely terrified.
“Its a fucking beast” 😂😂😂
That close up on the German tank starting up and loading up to attack the entire unit of American tanks was the most tense, badass thing I've seen since Top Gun 2.
My grandad was one of Patton's tank commanders. Went from E-1 to E6 in less than a year. His unit patch was the same one Brad Pitt is wearing. He never talked about it much. His advice on combat with a Tiger was, "shoot it in the ass, then run like hell," The balls on those guys. I manned a .50 in Iraq. Took an anti-tank rocket through the Humvee. The only reason it didn't blow me entirely out of the turret is because we had two doors open at the time. Was still hot enough to cause the rounds on my buddy's flak jacket to cook off inside the magazines. Ever opened a blast furnace or a pottery kiln? I can't imagine tank warfare. Screw that.
My grandfather was a tank commander in WW2, took a shell that killed all in the tank but my grandfather. He was hurt but got out of inferm and went back to command another tank. He never talked about it and when he did he down played it but those kids were wired differently.
God bless you both. Thank you for your service!
@@hommie789 God bless you both!
Thank you for you and your Grandad's service sir!!!
1/66th Armor 2nd AD (Iron Knights) I served with this unit during the Cold War. 1987-1990. before going to the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
That Tiger is 131, the only one in the world still in full working order. I've been to see it several times at Bovington (UK) where it lives. The same museum also has a King Tiger, which is an absolute beast, and also the most terrifying (to me) of all - a Jagdtiger. It's 8 inch thick frontal armor was impervious to any allied shell from any allied tank, at any range, and a direct hit from its stupendous 128mm main gun was simply unsurvivable. I can't imagine what it would have been like having to go up against one of the 85 of these that Nazi Germany fielded. Fortunately for the allies, the Jagdtiger's appeared quite late in the war and their crews had no time to get used to them or get much training in. As a result, they were not used as effectively as they could have been, and with the allies having air superiority at that time, they were vulnerable to dive bombing and such.
great comment
Well more Jagdtigers was lost because of mechanical issues than actually in combat. It is a perfect example of failed Nazi late war design. Way to heavy and under powered to be of practical use on the battlefield. I mean yes the 128mm gun is terrifying as it is but putting it on a vehicle that at any moment can just decide its gonna be a bunker now is just pointless. You can train your crews how much you want but when your vehicle just won't do what it is supposed to it does not matter. The Jagdtiger was a failure and while it might have looked like a fearsome beast it is not a good design.
Ahhh I've remembered the name of the American one. It's the T28 Super Heavy. Very cool with four tracks! Same sort of thing as the Tortoise I suppose.
@@TheAmazingAdventuresOfMiles T95 is the one youre talking about T28 didnt realy exist its just a made up thing by WoT and WT
Yeah man, terrifying. The Sherman was no match for this monster.
The best scene in this movie. It is worth to see it one more time.
Incredible movie.Scene still gives me chills on my spine' and like 5 years passed since I saw this movie.Great acting , directing and everything else....from Fort Worth, Texas...
2:13 Seeing it just deflect off that armor is terrifying
Pov : This 3 Bully Fighting Your Big brother Without Taken Damges
That's exactly why they put so many slants in the armor
But can you imagine what it's like being in that tiger tank though? Sure the tank shrugs off those shells but you're still gonna feel it if you're in that thing, especially so many times.
It’s a great scene, unnerving, spine chilling, and overall really enjoyable, although it’s understandable that they had to make some accuracy compromises for the sake of the scene, it doesn’t really affect it that much One notable one is that Fury was actually equipped with a 76mm gun instead of a 75mm like the other Shermans, so although it’s accurate for the rest of them to want to get close to the tiger to have a better shot, Fury should have been more than able to land ª penetrating hit right at the start, y’know, instead of rushing to the back
@@javierquintal7301 Fury was an M4A3 E8, also known as an Easy 8. And you're right, it should have been able to penetrate the frontal armor of the Tiger. But, in training, tankers are taught to go for where the armor is weakest, which is in the back around the engine. So when Brad Pitt's charecter said "Shoot them in the ass!" it was pretty close to what they were taught in training at that time.
That's a hard scene. I use to have a cup of coffee with an old WWII Tank driver, Jack Mortiarty. Great guy. He'd tell me all the time about what it was like inside one of those things. After he passed on, his wife told he how difficult it was for him after the war. He recieved the Silver Star and a Purple Heart.
Bless his heart and any man or boy that survived war, and i mean any country, good boys were sent to die on both sides because weak man in power called the shots
Rest in paradise Mr. Mortiarty 🤝
Well if he was 893rd tank destroyers he’s alright by me..
i can't think of much lower than lying about interactions with veterans.
@@porlorlorl What an incredible statement.
Fury is an excellent film!
My friend may he rest in peace. Joseph Cancellara he told me about his first encounter with a Tiger tank in WW2 after landing in France with the 82 airborne. He said it was like looking at a mountain with a gun in it. The terror he still felt to that day.

Such great performances!!!!! Great film
i love that boss battle music. the orchestra and choir sound....
It's a great scene, well shot, and it really shows how terrifying tank combat is. The Tiger would not have broke cover and moved towards the Shermans though, and it's also unlikely that it would have been sitting alone without infantry support.
The movie is set at a point where Germany's defeat was inevitable but they were stubbornly fighting on, so encountering a lone tiger tank was perfectly plausible.
@@infinitemonkey917 That's a fair enough comment. They still wouldn't have moved towards the Sherman tanks though. It makes no sense at all. Also, those logs on the hull would not have saved the Fury from a hit at that range, but that's cinema eh?
@@DingKong They were trapped with the tree line behind them, so it was either sit still or move toward them. Since they were vulnerable in the rear I guess it would've made more sense not to move ? Yea, I doubt logs would've done much against a tank shell. Perhaps against machine guns though ?
@@infinitemonkey917 He meant the Tiger wouldn't move because its not the strategy they used in WW2. The shermans had to move in that scene (makes sense because of the trees)
imo the tiger broke cover because their position is revealed, if the tiger stood its ground, all the sherman need to do is spam smoke shells at it and flank it
The local barber in my home town was a WWII vet. He commanded a half track. He took part in the battle of the bulge .One day I asked him about the Tiger. He looked at me with horror and fear in his eyes. He simply replied. We camouflaged ourselves and hid from those bastards. He never really liked to speak of his exploits. He was a truly humble person. I loved him very much. The nicest person in the whole community. Hair cut and a shave $5.00. God bless Don Robbins you are truly missed
Looked up his obituary. Another great American from the Greatest Generation gone.
My grandfather drove a half track in the Third Armored division…NOT Patton’s 3rd Army, as he often had to correct people after the war. Most of his nightmares came from what he saw at the Nordhausen concentration camp. At the time, he took a few pictures because he thought no one back home would ever even believe it. Stories weren’t easy to come by. Their general was the highest rank casualty of WW2…at least from enemy fire.

Greatest tank battle scene in history!!
Tank drivers are very short in stature. They lay on their backs and drive looking thru a periscope .the range appears upside down. So most burn too death. Last one out of a 3 man team. The tigers are a m8ghty killing machine. The Bradley's were devised, correcting the Sherman's designs flaws. Love it that this film us absolutely accurate. Well done. Salute! Test of courage.
This movie taught me one huge thing - it's great to be in a tank when your side is dominant, it's awful to be in a tank when your side is under attack.
Tiger tanks were just impressive machines with super think armour this is well portrayed.
@@grahamwillis585 It was about the gun, just like the A-10, but on treads...
Actually the lesson is... It's awful to be in a tank... .
The element of surprise is a world of difference in tank combat. Being caught unaware and out of position is a death sentence. Whoever sees the other tank first is usually the victor. That's why modern tanks put such a huge effort into good optics
The Iraq War was all fun and games for tankers until the insurgents figured out how to destroy our Abrams tanks.
3:53 Love how Pitt avoids bullets lmao
My friends father served as a tanker. Never talked about it but said to his son when he enlisted,"don't go into the armor unless you can give up enjoying cookouts like I do".
I appreciate for this scene excatly cause of heavy battle 1 Tiger vs 3 Sherman's what was "equal" during WWII with casualties on both sides. Many good men gave their live's for duty. Thank's for this clip

I remember watching this scene at the theater. When the fight finished, I remember the hole room sighted in relief at the same time. Pretty fucking good movie
The shells bouncing off of the tiger is exactly like my grandpa described it. Crazy seeing it in film.
My best friend's dad was a tank guy in WW2,....he never was "right" after the war,....I can't imagine the stress/fear these men had to deal with.
Yup well those US Sherman Zippos were notorious for bursting into flames. And their shells had a tendency to bounce off the German tanks when fired head on.
@@septimuswarrensmith879 I cant believe this stupid myth is still persistent, and Death Trap by Belton Cooper is filled with so many factual errors and outright falsehoods

War is hell.
@@cranbers I always wondered how bad tanks are about just getting stuck. I'm sure they're probably designed to get through a lot of terrain, but I'm imagining just having to abandon one because it got stuck in a muddy ditch or something. It's hard enough just to get a standard car out of a spot like that.
"Lord's protection!" "We got it don't we boys?" "Yes, sir!" I always loved that little line. Came seconds from death and instantly falling back to humor to cope.

Thank you for this clip. My dad drove a Sherman tank, UK, he said virtually nothing about it. He told my brother he was as at Belson, the Nazi death camp. Never said much to me . Said the tracks skidded on the cobblestone roads in Germany! Strange how much we don’t know.
I'm sure most people think this is just your run of mill war movie, but as a retired Army veteran, I'm am amazed at the technical accuracies of this film. Incredible attention to detail in all aspects, and the main cast performed an amazing representation of a young tank crew deployed to war.
How long did you serve as a film critic? Sorry, as a soldier.
This is the most inaccurate tank battle ever
What's the point of having "technical accuracies" (whatever that means) when basically everything else in the film is extremely (and I mean EXTREMELY) inaccurate?
@@Aethelhald Actual tankers loved this film when it came out, while armchair's bitched. I think I know whose opinion is more valuable. Every person I know who went "Well that weapon would never..." has never fired that weapon, or seen it in use. When "Best job I ever had" became a thing real tankers embraced, that tells me all I need to know.
@@MaxxCoyote They may have loved it because it was accurate in its depiction of what goes on INSIDE a tank - the chatter, the attitude, the suspense, the reloading/firing, and so forth. That part may have been accurate. Everything that happens outside the tank? Insultingly inaccurate. German anti-tank guns that can't hit slow moving targets on open flat terrain from 50 meters away? Get fucked. 300 SS men can't figure out how to do a simple flanking manoeuvre on an immobilised tank? Get fucked. Sherman Firefly has to get behind a Tiger to kill it? Get fucked.
People rag on about the combat accuracy of this movie, but I bet one thing they got right is capturing the sheer terror of fighting in combat in one of these things. In fact, I venture to guess there is no amount of cinematography that can capture it...but these scenes certainly make your appreciate everyone who has ever served in these tanks.
It isn't even close to accurate.
It's a great scene I have to admit. The acting is tremendous! I have one flaw. There is no way the Tiger tank would engage forwardly. It would just remain in the bushed area or even reverse. These things were beasts at long range and pretty much unbreakable at the front. However, it is a movie - so hats off anyway. The intensity and drama of the scene is hardcore. Love it.
You know it's a MOVIE, right? Realism isn't cinematic.

What an awesome testimony to the skill, courage and sacrifice of tank crews during WWII
Seeing two rounds bounce cleanly off would have to be the most terrifying thing in the world for a new recruit.
If it makes the recruit feel better anyone inside would have their ears be ringing and be disoriented.
it also wouldn't have happened. The Easy 8 could penetrate the front armor of a tiger from over a kilometer.
@@caleb8659 so can the Tiger. The two of them essentially had the same gun. Also this wasn’t how tank battles were done in the late war. The Germans barely had tanks to just casually leave in the ass end of nowhere. It would be closer to the actual front lines or abandoned if it broke down and the Tiger tank was abandoned a lot because it was over engineered for it’s time.
If that Tiger lean 30 deg, all shots will be bounced or stick to the armor. But just one to the under half of Tiger is enough to immobilized it and then burn the crew to death
@@caleb8659 The 76 mm M1, while an improvement over the previous 75 mm, was a disappointment in its promised performance vis-à-vis the Panther tank and upgraded models of the Panzer IV Ausf. H/J in the frontal arcs. This was the case of the 76 mm M1 versus the frontal armor of these tanks only. The other arcs did not present a problem.
Brad Pitt earned my admiration for his acting after this movie. We always see ship battles, airplane battles, but this is the first tank movie I've seen and it is epic.
You should watch T-34 then.
lol what?
If you want to see great tank battle movie, watch the Soviet WW2 trilogy "Osvobozdenie" (Liberation). One of the parts portrays the biggest tank battle in the history, the Kursk battle. The movie was made in 70s, very well produced, considering we're talking 70's. I was teenager back then and I've never seen the movie again, but I remember I liked it. From modern production, I recommend Czech-Russian co-produced movie called T-34. It's got it's very good moments. Made on very small budget, it even made it into US theaters. It's got a bit of fairy tail story to it but shows some very interesting details to anyone who doesn't know anything about tanks, especially the Russian early and then beefed up version of T-34 and how mobile that thing was in the era when Tigers were supposed to be the ultimate tank weapon.
I thought the scenes played here his acting sucked none of the parts where he was in danger and shouted "goddam"were convincing
If its first tank movie, then feel sorry for you. Nothing epic in this stupid scene at all
The most obvious error in this scene is the handling of the tanks. The last thing the Shermans want is to open the range. It makes their shorter low-velocity guns (except for Fury) less effective. So, what do they do? They open the range. The last thing the Tiger wants is to close the range. It eliminates his advantage of a high-velocity gun. He is also hidden, possibly hull-down, in a prepared ambush. It's also harder for the Shermans to get behind him when he keeps his distance. What does he do? He closes the range. The Shermans also stay close together. They make it easy for him to keep his thick frontal armor facing them. They should have spread out, using their superior speed and numbers to get flank and rear shots. The Tiger also selects the wrong target. From the side, it is obvious that Fury is armed with a longer, high velocity gun, and is the most dangerous to him. He should have taken his first shot at Fury. But, Brad Pitt and crew have more scenes in this movie, so we can't kill them yet. Seeing Tiger 131 in action is a treat, though.
It's a movie lol 🤣
@@jriverawy2287 So what ?
Imagine you were a tank commander and knew nothing about these analytics (which were made after the war), and by every second you think or hesitate, you loose one brother tank.
@@kaizhang563 I cannot imagine that anyone goes into combat with no tactics and no intel about the enemy at all, as you seem to be suggesting. Charging into battle with no plan killed four of these tanks and their crews.

Best job i ever had!
Badass movie. One of my favorite scenes
This is some of the most intense movie making I have ever ever watched. I can't imagine what it must have like to be a tanker in WWII, but this is absolutely chilling to the bone.
Its even worse in russian invasion of Ukraine. All that drones, altilery, javelins, mines. You are screwed if you are in a tank
@@konradpieniazek5200 yeah all those gadgets, war is different now and to be honest if I had to choose I'd rather fight in earlier wars

Definitely ranks as one of the most intense and terrifying war scene ever in a movie. Great acting, directing and everything else
Yeah but unrealistic in real the Tiger stay there Take Fury out an then the others
@@1337pl the Tiger crew moved up due to smoke being deployed. The Tiger crew knew 4 tanks where advancing and they needed visual contact in order to keep engaging otherwise they would be shooting at nothing...
@@elliottapfel3609 still unrealistic
daz bot comes close
Stabbing scene in Saving Private Ryan has always stuck with me.
Finest tank combat scene in cinematic history.
Una obra maestra del cine...
My Father-in-Law was a tank squad sergeant during WWII. He served in Africa. Whenever he spoke of the war, he would be in tears.
The terrible things those men suffered..... We'll never know nor understand. My mother's uncle flew multiple missions over Germany. He had terrible nightmares for the rest of his life afterward. Once he got home, in his mind, he realized that he had killed hundreds, maybe thousands of people with the bombs he dropped. At least, that's what Mom thought. He probably saw buddies killed too. He never talked about it. He was a successful businessman, but his wife had to move into a separate bedroom because he'd wake up screaming. War is worse than hell. It destroys everything. Rest in peace, gentlemen. Thank you.
Dude...who cares? We are watching Tank-Action here.

loved this scene, the actors do such a good job of showing how terrifying the Tiger tank was in combat compared to the Sherman tanks
Killed inbreds then nazis, Gen Sherman was a legend!
2:26 that would have killed the tiger 100000000%
@@daniel_cvlh1761 no it wouldn't have. The projectile the Sherman fires wasn't enough to penetrate the tiger tanks steel. The Germans used to make fun of Sherman's by calling them door knockers lol. One German soldier recounts sitting in his tiger tank and taking 22 direct hits before it caught fire and he was allowed to leave. The tiger tanks were scarier than hell

movie I've seen and it is epic.
The acting man, out of this world
Sure, its a "hollywood-style-tank-fight", but god damn the actors nailed it. Every face is full of terror the whole fight....u can feel them fighting for their lives...really really good job!
Yeah. Superb movie
like when they told the soldiers that german mg42 was shitty
The actors are too old to be believable as soldiers. Most tankcrews were early 20 something. Brad Pitt is almost 60. It's getting close to Steven Seagal territory.
Other than the Tiger would have gone after Fury first since it had a bigger gun than the other 2 and would be considered the biggest threat.
There's a WHOLE LOT wrong with this scene. Observe: Pitt and his tanks would've had a much easier time if they'd simply eaten wine & cheese, and caught some Rays using tin foil that morning, and played loud gypsy music when confronting the Tiger tank. It's a PROVEN technique.
Hate it or whatever, but the cinematography and the ballistic physics of the shells and the metal and how it reacts and all that through particle systems and such is nothing short of Oscar worthy, and I give them props for getting that so right, as polarizing as the film as a whole might be, I love it, no cap!!!!...
I don't get why it was polarizing

@@spedman56 it's ok if you like it and others don't. I myself think the movie is horrible in just about every aspect possible.
wonderful movie!
That’s a great transmission
The thing I like about Fury, is Brad Pitt portrays a guy who knows he's living on borrowed time and right thru the film, "the eyes have it" i.e. his eyes have seen it all, and are out on stalks
1:42 gives me goose bumps. You know the real men could of been like him, desperately wanting to jump out and run but bravery & duty kept there. Cannot even begin to what the Hero's went through. We will remember them.
*Bravery, duty, training, and knowing that if they deserted, they'd be executed anyway (however, I doubt in a life or death situation you'd be thinking that far ahead)
To be fair, they were up against a wall. They would have died in a POW camp or be slaughtered or win. Not a whole lot of options. Still bravery, but you’d have to be stupid to not take a good chance to work your way around that thing.
My dad was a Sherman driver in which under Patton all the way through the war. Battle of the bulge and were the first ones to hit German soil
@@aaronwest1055 did you serve?
Matthew 26:52: Jesus said to him, "Put away the sword, for all who take up the sword will perish by the sword..." There are no winners in war, peace must be learned.

Let’s not kill everything with Realism and just enjoy the Film.
Maybe lets make accurate movies where they dont portrate germans as stupid nazi animals, and americans as superheroes?
People say that about the bible as well 🤣 To be fair, i prefer this movie over most books, (especially) including holy ones.
Realism is whay makes the movie, imagine being seconds from death, and you manage to kill your apponent by sheer luck or divine intervention. Makes you really look at life in a different light
@@nipponsuxs Not always. Movies are an art, illusions, fantasies, escapes, make believe. If it was always real, why then would I want movies?? I have real life for that already…
@@metalrocker627 because realistic badazz stuff actually happens and some people would like their movies to depict it in a believable way.
This was one of the best tank scenes I’ve ever seen. Sure, there’s a few good others. But this squad is truly the finest.
You know your tank is better when you’re just willingly wanting to start a full out tank war against 4 tanks
Epic movie. Brad Pitt Nice actor
My grandfather was a B25 pilot, but met many tankers in the Pacific theatre. Japanese tanks were almost non existent he would tell me. The M4 was the biggest tank, but they used a few m24 Chafee tanks to help "cleanup". M4 Shermans were used in Croc form a lot for the flame thrower. But the survival ratio in pacific was much higher than in Europe, and in the pacific it was mines that destroyed most Sherman tanks. Grandfather was always befuddled how they can have such an advanced navy and airforce but never really develop anything good tank wise and anti tank wise except for the mines. Bombers in the pacific theater were much more prone to being shot down over Japan. Especially B25s since they were low flying "tactical" bombers instead of the b17 or b29 that would carpet bomb. Grandpa was never shot down though. He lost a couple gunners from AA but he was never hit, and the cockpit he was in was never hit. He flew approx 10-15 runs over a 2 month period. All over Japan.
The japanese used that little tank that was similar to the french Renault tank from WWl. With a 37 mm cannon
The M4 had a survival rate of 4 out of 5 crewmen on the initial knockout blow. The rest of the tanker losses were incurred while the crews were doing something outside the tank. Something around 1,500 US tankers were lost in the entire war, losses nowhere near those of the bomber crews and infantry. The M4 had gun stabilization was relatively easy to field repair, and above all from an automotive standpoint was very sturdy and reliable in road marches. Later models featured wider tracks, a larger T23 turret, highly accurate 76mm gun and wet ammo storage. The truly disappointing thing with the later M4 Shermans was the late introduction and scarcity of HVAP rounds that would have made an immense difference in knocking out German armor.
Saw an abandoned Japanese WW2 tank when I was in Micronesia. Not sure what model it was, but it was very small. It clearly wasn't intended for combat against other tanks, probably just the kind of infantry support or clean-up that tanks were being used for in WW1. Japan just didn't have enough oil to operate a large tank force.
I believe the reason why japanese didn't use many tanks was due to limited resources. They rather used the little steel they had on shis, submarines and planes. Also, can't remember his name, a japanese general, who too over the armed forces in late 30' just preferred infantry.
Shia LeBouf Brad Pitt resonate well, the whole cast was so believable, they all did an amazing job, I just couldn't help but notice the energy, like A QB, with that one receiver that somehow always knows where your pass is going to become a catch and when to be there, they charged up the movie, excellent picture.
Was waiting for my dudes to come on! BANG BANG NINER GANG!
That ricochet put the fear of god in me.
What's wild is my great uncle was a Sherman commander who had four Shermans shot out from under him, and the worst that ever happened to him was he was in the hospital for about a month after one of them. My grandpa (US infantry, also in Europe) got leave to go pay his brother a get well visit during that one. I knew Shermans were wildly outclassed, but man, this movie gave me an appreciation for how amazing that was he lived through having four tanks destroyed. My grandpa told me later in life, after the war, his brother believed firmly that was God's protection, and he thought it might have had something to do with his refusal to ever use his tanks' flamethrower on German infantry because he thought killing another man that way was inhuman.
Your story brings me to something what bugged me in the movie. Everytime a tank is hit, the whole crew is written off by their comrades, they never even try to see if there are survivors. While your story is evidence you could survive and the backstory of Bratt Pitt's character also point to the fact the character know this.
Stats show that for every tank lost, they lost, on average, less than one crewman per tank. Shermans were the MOST survivable tank of the war. Just this scene alone requires them writing off and ignoring no less than 9 tank crewmen, by average. Edit: Math is hard. They wrote off TWELVE crewman in this scene
@@vanillagorilla911 i dunno if they "wrote them off", because they were actively engaged in battle; the enemy tank had to be destroyed, or they would all be destroyed. I'm sure their intent was to go back and look for survivors after the threat was eliminated.
Sure
Shermans weren't outclassed, Germany barely had any tanks to throw at them and there usually was a long gun Sherman to take care of the rare Panthers and Tigers, as the Germans mostly used StuGs and Panzer 4s/3s/2s
This scene never gets old!
That yea. America wins. How about you show your might. Drop a neuclar weapon on Moscow and end the Ukraine thing.
GREATEST war movie EVER!!!...
Esse filme é muito bom 👍 top
Great movie. Really admire the courage of these tankers. Too bad they are not still around to fight for American democracy today.
"Best job i ever had..." My foster dad was in the 45th Infantry, hitched on tanks...gave it up: they drew fire...he hated their 88s, yet admired the accuracy of the other guys working them.
Aside all the tactics that are questionable, this is a very good scene considering that these guys managed to bring an actual Tiger tank out to show it into the screen
from the bovington tank museum UK
this is the dumbest tank battle ever.
THE tiger tank. There is only one functinal tiger tank left in the world, from the tank museum in the UK where they drive it around in their shows.
Descollante. Una pieza de antología.. 👍🇦🇷
Damn it, how much shit these guys have carried on their shoulders! Thanks to all the veterans, and those who did not live to see the victory. Rest in peace!
Everyone of these actors put everything they could into their characters and everyone of them nailed it. You can see all of their faces, the fear, the heavy breath, the eyes. That is as real as the real tank battle could be in the real world. Especially World War II.
No that's not real. 4 tanks can't destroy a fucking tiger. 4 tank can kill a tiger with only one lose. And their aim was so bad. Only 3-4 yard and they can't hit "em.
@@GenyoBenyo Dude it's real. I was the tiger tank in this movie.
So you know the actors personally? The extent to which they could act? And by "everything" what exactly does that mean? Share your extensive acting experience and knowledge of the individual actors and their craft.
The Battle is shit cgi
Sorry you got attacked like this just for sharing your opinion. Welcome to the media 😂
There's been a handful of movies that have been made that are classics this is one that's a classic
One of those movies I can watch a thousand times and never tire of it. IMO, this is one of the best war movies EVER made...such great writing and talent.
Not really
I agree. Three best war movies for me are Casualties of War, Platoon and Fury
World of tanks was eye opening for my tank knowledge
Finally a movie that Brad Pitt didn't ruin.
At 1:48 (before the German says “New Target”) I believe he said “auf Spaß”..doesn’t that mean “have fun”?
Man, an intense scene from a very intense film. All the equipment was beaten up and weathered, like the men, providing realism. Scenes similar to this played out in the forests and towns with little record. God Bless all those MEN.
All of the vehicles are actually ww2 vehicles, essentially rented from the Bovingdon tank museum in the UK. That tiger is the 131, only restored Tiger I in the world (afaik) instead of a mockup. I won't be surprised if I'm wrong, however I believe this is it's first film debut, as it were.
