Iconic tank sceene, almost 30 years earlier than Saving Private Ryan's tank scene: 2:28

I loved this movie as a kid. The sound those Chaffee tanks made shooting was so cool.

Actually filmed in Most Czechoslovakia a town which was scheduled to be demolished and therefore ideal for filming.

BTW during filming in 1968 the Warsaw Pact's invasion of Czechoslovakia took place and let's say the invaders were quite surprised to see "Americans" and "Germans" there. AFAIK film shots of them were used as commies' propaganda to support the invasion in the Eastern block... 😂 Edit: Also the bridge itself is located near Prague...

Awesome movie!! One of my most favorite WWII films. This was "Fury" before "Fury" was even thought about.

Beautiful

Where did Hollywood get the idea that tank cannons sound like "pew" instead of "boom"?

Great movie

Excellent film l've seen countless times . Great actors and a cynical ,war weary and jaded late 60's feel to it with no gung ho , OTT scenes and believable characters heartily sick of the war and just wanting to survive .The opening scene with the Chaffees barrelling down the road while firing on the 88's which have opened up on them from the opposite bank is one of my all time favourites as is this Street fighting scene in a German Town .

So they really used a Steyr 1500 as a prop to be smashed by a tank...

A careful look at the credits, will show Hal Needham as the stunt coordinator. ( Hal directed Smokey & the Bandit)

What a ridiculous movie. The sound from the tanks' cannons sounds like revolver shooting in a western movie 😂

Got it great movie as is The bridge to far ❤

I always remember the "pew pew" from those tanks in this movie, like star wars shooting. Cant imagine thats the real sound, must have added them in later

I can't speak for am M-24 but I witnessed a firing demonstration of an M-60 back in 1975. Believe me, that main gun made a boom like thunder and the ground shook 75 yards away! Tank guns don't go "Pew-Pew!" That's an added sound effect. Why they chose that one I have no idea.

@@wayneantoniazzi2706I was in a tank battalion in the Corps in the 80s, and spent 4 years with those M60s. The ground shook and vibrated from the main guns going off. A good indicator of how loud they were is that I get a monthly stipend for hearing loss from those 4 years. 😂😂😂 A funny story that I tell people is that in our maintenance office we had an Army poster advertising the M1 Abram’s and we still had the M60 😂😂😂 In addition to the M60 tank, we were still using the Colt 1911 pistol, the PRC 77 radio, and the M16A1 Vietnam era rifle for a while too, while the Army Doggies had the new toys. 😂😂😂 To any Army Doggies reading this, don’t be mad, we Jarheads love you guys!

I saw that aforementioned M-60 demonstration on the tank firing range at Camp Lejeune in 1975, this was part of my Basic School company's BASCOLEX excercise. Maybe there was more than one range, I was only at Lejeune twice, but as I recall the impact zone was on the far side of the Intracoastal Waterway. It was a pretty unforgettable experience.

Cannot find exact info but I doubt they use M24 Chaffee in the real battle. Most likely M4 Sherman were used. However the movie maker cannot find enough M4 to do the scene, this was made way before CGI was available.

In fact M24 Chaffee's would be correct for that period of WW2. The M24 was a light tank replacment for the M5 Stuart tank and the first ones arrived in the European Theater in December of 1944. This is actually one of the few WW2 films that had period correct tanks in it.

@Peter-dj8dv

2 ай бұрын

Among tank nerds it is well known that the attack was led by four brand new M26 Pershing tanks. The M24 is correct for the period, and the 9th Armored Division probably had some.

What I always liked about this movie is that it portrays both sides as humans. Not that I am fan of the Germans but too many war films portray them as stupid brainless and dehumanized creatures which I really hate.

Ben Gazzara is too cool for a helmet!

Как называется фильм.

The film was made in 1968, just before the "Chechoslowakian Spring" on wich the local Communists decided to introduce a more modest way of Communism... The land was under the influence of the USSR. The Kremlin did not accept this, and they invade the country with force. Tanks against peaceful and amazed civilian protesters.... The filming had just ended, and the whole filmcrew and actors had to leave the country fast. Now the real Sovjet tanks were rolling in the streets... How little is changed..... Now this former Warschaupact land is with NATO. People wonder why, and blame NATO for expension towards the East... Well. In 1968, the border NATO, Warschaupact was halfway Germany, and Europe. Former Warschaupact country's know how it is to be under the boot of the Kremlin....
