Jefferson is haulin' ass in army boots. That's impressive. R.I.P. Jim Brown. 🏈

Jim Brown was at his best when left football and didn't go back. What a classic ,Lee was a great actor in this movie.

Right, Brown won a championship with the Browns but by the time he retired, the Packers totally dominated the league so maybe he also felt he’d never win another one so he should get out while he still could

RIP Big Jim Brown!!

I've seen this movie dozens of times, and yet every time I still find myself rooting for Jefferson to make it to the truck. One of these times, I'm gonna watch it & he's gonna make it. :)

when I first saw this part in the theater i'm thinking, Nice buddies maybe he's wounded and knocked out... thanks for checking. but I guess the falling Rubble would have killed Jefferson anyway.

Behind the scenes, the explosion was apparently SO big that the people of London can see the flames from 20 miles away!!

From The Wild One (Chino) to the Man who shot Liberty Valance to Cat Ballou to the Dirty Dozen, Lee Marvin was one of greats!

Yes a lot of Great Roles over the years. Bad Day at Black Rock and so many others even T.V. combat ! also Dragnet from the 1950's he Plays a real cold as Ice Killer.

The look of horror on their faces still gets me even after 50 years.

I was mad that Jefferson got killed and the looks on their faces was showing shock and surprises. They really mourned Jefferson's death.

It was 1967, the height of the civil rights movement. Brown had just quit football, to the shock of the world. They had him run onscreen one last time, which everyone wanted to see. Smart move. The director was making a statement about Brown's importance with those reaction shots, which helped endear the movie to the Black community. Black America went to see THE DIRTY DOZEN in droves, helping to make it the number 5 box office draw of the year. Robert Aldrich: smart man.

Jim Brown aka Jefferson's death was the most heart-breaking I've seen in a movie. To this day, nothing else comes close. While he never talked about it, I was aware my father had seen heavy action in WW2 as a navigator in the USAAF, so I was really keen on seeing this movie. My mother let me and my two brothers watch the whole movie on a school night even though it ended after 11:00. Great characterizations, hilarious dialogue (Franko, Donald Sutherland, even Ernest Borgnine's smaller role), spectacular action, just about a perfect movie. But Jim Brown/Jefferson was the conscience of that movie, an outsider in many ways who had been done wrong and still behaved honorably and bravely. He was rightfully admired by the other men. God, I love this movie and know it's just a movie but I wish Jefferson had lived. He deserved to.

@@BrotherDerrick3X Posey, aka the Portable Mountain, was awesome. "Stop pushing!" Some shut-outs to the villains are in order, too. Even though it was just really fine acting, I have detested Telly Savalas ever since that movie. Glad when Jim Brown gave him a lead sandwich. Should have stuffed a grenade in his filthy yap for good measure. And Robert Ryan as Colonel Breed was a hoot. Officious pr**k. His facial expressions when the conductor kept wrongly starting up the band are hilarious. Charles Bronson, the MP, George Kennedy...I could go on and on. Read the book years ago, too (very different) and recently looked at some pics in mid-sixties London when they were all about town. Great stuff. All right, my friend, I'll zip it except for some last lines that my brothers and I still break out from time to time: "Two!...the guards are through, Three...the Major's men are on a spree." Derrick Threex, be well and stay healthy. Thanx for reading my ramblings.

Jim Brown may have paved the way for O.J.Simpson. The Dirty Dozen was one of my favourite movies as a kid, and it still is.

Even though I've seen this before and I know what happens. I try to imagine if he did survive. I was upset when Jefferson dies. I'm like go get out of their and when he gets shot I have the same look as the others when Jefferson dies.

I love this movie, but geez, what is up with that close-up of Richard Jaekel at 1:03?

By any chance-anybody here by way of “Sleepless in Seattle”? (Just wondering...)

maureencora1 I’m guessing you haven’t watched the whole movie. Out of 14 only 3 survive and out of all the convicts Jim Brown is one of the most heroic.

This was the first Hollywood film to show a Black man in Europe killing a White man. In this case, many White people. 22 years after the war. For many years after WWII, many people had no idea Blacks fought in the war, or even were in the Army. Hollywood films in the 50's showed Black men in the Navy as the messboys, or as no-name Marines tucked way in the background in "Away All Boats" & "None But The Brave". By contrast, Japanese-Americans got the movie "Go For Broke", which showed them as brave fighting men in Europe, in 1951.

I do remember that famous line shouted by Lee Marvin, just before Jim Brown pulls the pins on the grenades and drops them into the air chutes - "REMEMBER, HENDERSON - THIRTY SECONDS!!!"

LEE MARVIN reminds me of teacher I had once had in Jr High! He yell all the time and make the students nervous ,,, bring me that homework!! Oh no, I forgot the assignment let's see,, can I get with you later??

The late Charles Bronsons debut for his future roles in some very violent films??? Alright Jim, get up from that pool of red slop on the set and do that whole seen over again! The Director did not like your 'trip move' at the end of your run! He wants another cut!! Take 5
