Platoon - Scene - (Death of Sgt. Elias)

[Fersey95]

He's no green goblin now..

[ldmccaramel]

COVER ME YA LIMP DICK FUCK UPS!!!!

[sdoron79]

little bit reminded me the ending scene in Gallipoli with Mark Lee

[godroxdahowse]

My favorite thing about the scene is that Elias didn't get shot once & die...like almost every other movie. haha

[Bullets632]

i cant take this scene serious anymore after watching Tropic Thunder

[brunoblood]

Epic !!

[pablobenitez1]

mmmm... good scene. overacted i think

[jpgleiden]

what the hell where they doing in vietnam

[widebody123]

@jpgleiden just invading and terrorizing sovereign non-threatening countries to keep the rich in control and get richer. It's a well trodden path.

[supermonkeywtf09]

it must be fun playing a Vietnamese soldier in these American Vietnam war movies!!! :DDD

[mrchaz7021]

BEST NAM MOVIE SCENE EVER SO SAD

[TheAceofThePack]

Barnes @ 0.07 "Son of a bitch was tougher than I thought..."

[TheGreektiger]

this one makes me remember that no one stay's behind cauze every one could be to this position!Greek army!!!OYK-ZMAK!!!Δεν ξεχνω!παντα τιμω!!!!

[legoman5760]

fuck you scarface for shooting him 

[rvbgrifrules]

holy shit i was blazed. that was so intense

[WheresWallace4883]

best movie of the 1980's

[tullgadela]

i called elias to and im proud of it

[MrDWills1]

Is that it? Really? Wow. Extremely overrated. 

[Cantwait4sundaY]

@MrDWills1 you obviously never saw the movie, and so have no idea what is going on

[hubbabubbly]

@MrDWills1 I agree - they could have put it in slow motion or something XDXDXDXD

[Kirq]

@MrDWills1 Well, they would do it much better in MTV? Right?

[paintballKid545]

He should have one best performance....Of all time

[kickodude]

That motherfucker Sgt. Barnes

[B33ZL3D1CK]

I'll get you next time Spiderman!

[SuperBatfreak]

Damn, both Berenger and Dafoe got robbed on the oscar statue!

[jediindyfan98]

@TheJesermay thank you for that information now I know why Elias had his arms raised like that.

[BristolF]

BETRAYED.

[toadman842]

AVENGE ME!!!

[AGrandt]

Sad.

Then again, all death is sad.

[TheCamaro927]

One of the most saddest & most remember-able scenes from a war film.

[jediindyfan98]

This is the saddest scene in the movie. Can somebody tell me why Elias had his arms raised like that. Williem Dafoe is the best actor in this movie.

[TheJarhead71]

@jediindyfan98 i think it was to reenact a vietnam photo, if you find out tell me

[TheJesermay]

@jediindyfan98 It's like when Jesus is on the cross - 'They know not what they do!'

[cochbloch]

@jediindyfan98 drama, thats why

[jakub1234100]

nine peaple are vietcong soldier

[TheMakey123]

One of the best deathscenes ever...check out also death of captain rhodes xDDD

[JulianJJM]

Shit

[Pakkopaitapotilas]

lol, my name is Elias.

not kidding.

[AntiSocialChannel85]

@Pakkopaitapotilas

Do you play hockey?

[dhksrksalem]

fucking war

[TheShadicman]

@MAOANNA1 dead or alive never leave them behind

[BockWurstEis]

best movie ever

[j4k3700]

NO!!! ELIAS!!!!!!

[TheShadicman]

they broke the most important rule never leave a man behind

[dirtyrobin]

@TheShadicman You know he was shot by one of his own man, on purpose, in the movie

[Galen2149]

@TheShadicman you know that was the other sarge's fault right? he shot him

[Tomy0791]

@TheShadicman no matter dead or alive never ever leave a man behind you'Re absolutly right...only politicans and cowards do that (maybe thats the same)

[YankeeAirPirate]

@Tomy0791 -- might ought to add Hollywood filmmakers to politicians and cowards. But you're right, that's getting pretty redundant. Cowards pretty much covers them both.

I'm a Purple Heart combat vet from Nam ('68-69) and can tell you that there is no Huey pilot ever born who would have followed orders to break off and leave a live American on the ground like that. A good Troop knows when to disobey the REMFs -- Hollywood doesn't.

[Tomy0791]

@YankeeAirPirate you'Re right And todays generations have to thank man like you a lot

[MegaAjax01]

@TheShadicman who is the sniper in platoon one shot one kill?

[Zack0Amizuki]

@MegaAjax01 i gues that Carlos Hathock

[jazzas90000]

@TheShadicman in war unfortunatly theres no way that promise can be kept

[TheShadicman]

@jazzas90000 some platoons and brigades actually do that

[jazzas90000]

@TheShadicman think of the outcome would you risk the lives of all your men just to save one you could all die or you could do it guess yo need to be in that situation to know whats best

[TheShadicman]

@jazzas90000 i rather get killed trying to save a teammate than let him die knowing i couldve saved him.I cant live with that guilt

[jazzas90000]

@TheShadicman sometimes they cant be saved though if their overun if theres achance to save them give it a go but if its certain death its just a waste of your life and his

[es78xx]

this is one of my favourite movies

[spookedjunglist]

"""This is from the antiwar Vietnam film Platoon directed by filmmaker Oliver Stone.""" Do what anti war film? or anti Vietnam war film? Platoon was filmed 10 years after the war. Oliver Stone served in this war so as you can imagine he would make a movie about it. Far from anti war. This is just a movie from a grunts point of view in a war.

[katowittz]

UU terrorist flee:D

[tanramiscal2]

GET DOWN!!! GO TO THE CHOPPER!!! YAHHHY!!!

[funk67]

Barnes was most definetly a hun...

[1DarkMasK1]

WTF is this bunch of vietcongs manage to kill the Green Goblin?

Thats BS he would blast them with pumpkin nuke on his glider.

[wasabibubble]

that was time when charlie sheen made real movies

[CekodokKillerz]

Wat the fuck was that Sgt you get left behind!! what army is you!!

[MsCebor]

@CekodokKillerz its too muchy idiot!wtf you doing this time you?

[ForrestFox]

"I once ran from the vietcon,

[conrod15review]

@ForrestFox fuck up u idiot

[Ernestoiscool]

CHARLIE SHEEEEEEN WAS IN THIS MOVIE, but where are the whokers?  o.O?

[TheGreshh]

Tropic Thunder :D

[cpbobo668]

@TheGreshh What?! Tropic thunder was made after this idiot!

[TheGreshh]

@cpbobo668 Yes, I know, I put tropic thunder because it's funny when they spoof this...

[zuzanarox]

I never understood this scene. Didn't Barnes (Tom Beringer) already kill Elias (Willem Defoe)earlier in the movie? Remember how Barnes didn't like Elias, and then when Barnes came across Elias in the jungle with no one around he shot him. Then this scene is later in the movie - and Elias is somehow alive again?? Someone please explain if you know the answer, thanks.

[wbustudent]

@zuzanarox Barnes thought he killed Elias (so did the rest of us) but it turns out he wasn't dead - just wounded. The injury slowed him down enough, though, for him to be discovered by enemy combatants, chased through the jungle and...well, you saw the result.

[zuzanarox]

@wbustudent thanks! That makes sense now. I wonder why Oliver Stone wasn't more clear - but then again, sometimes directors make it vague on purpose to force the audience to think. thanks again for the explanation.

[Moviedirector94]

great movie, my favorite Oliver Stone movie...and i own this movie on dvd & blu ray, i love the blu ray :)

[alfventress1]

AH AM REALITY!

[KrazyLuke360]

I reenacted this during a game of dodge ball in gym class. :P

[MrFethennour]

@KrazyLuke360 Did you die, too ?

[HaloSaintsFan]

[corporaleliaz]

D: thats my name for rals  i swear to you tube commets

[RaksasePonggong]

the part when sgt Elias dead is sad to me

[thebigcyrys]

0:03 - Charlie Sheen :D

[deevo101]

lol @ the acting

lol @ charlie sheen

[CastleSnowflake]

the other sergent left him for dead why

[Boltneck77]

@CastleSnowflake because the seargent was the one who shot him in the first place because Seargent Elias was going to have Staff Seargent Barnes court marshalled over an illegal killing in "the village" which is a few scenes before this one...

[SithLoRD187]

best piece of acting to date u cant act that wat out of a nutsack any better than this,and to be shot 3 times b4 tht scene ever came is just brilliant to see the way he was running with 50 VC chasing him

[SithLoRD187]

@SithLoRD187 its this scene that made this movie !!!



[Szoko83]

Charlie Sheen "mają Eliasa" Kevin Dillon "cooo" - "zawracaj, zawracaj natychmiast" najpoważniejszy film wojenny jaki w życiu widziałem. Ci którzy go nie widzieli Polecam obejżeć

it had to be an american movie.... of course... an m60e3 in only one chopper against 100 vietnam´s soldiers with ak47... and the chopper do not recive any damage,,, come on where is THE A TEAM ??? or chuck norris ... hollywood shit....

[triangledude123]

@explosivoplastico Chuck norris doseant have to be there, he can save a chopper with the power of his mind.

[buddbasset]

damn it. i couldnt finish the film. i thought the guy with the scar on his face killed Elias. he died in this scene?

[1337wuzty1337]

@buddbasset yea no one takes atleast 10 bullet in the chest and survives

[bipedalame]

@1337wuzty1337 get shot 10 times in the chest or fall 20000ft from a broken aeroplane without a parachute?

[buddbasset]

@1337wuzty1337 50 cent took nine. so close.... -_-

[SRStrollisSRS]

SURVIVE

[Markhors]

-Manly tear-

[ColdCaseTwo]

because of tropic thunder I can never watch this scene again without laughing.

[triangledude123]

Lol i meant 16 dudes with paintball guns

[Bombik83]

@triangledude123 you are real HERO !!!

[triangledude123]

I reinactid this with 60 dudes with paintball guns, a golf cart as the chopper, painfull experience, i still have scars on my back....

[Szoko83]

najlepszy film wojenny jaki w życiu widziałem !

[BLAM1ONE]

I remeber i pictured this seen in my head as i ran a cross country race back in high school and i got 2nd place

[grimofhell]

If I were Taylor, I would have screamed at Barnes "you told me they killed em' " so that everyone knows what happened instead of keeping it quiet...PS fuck you barnes!!

[ZionTemplar]

@grimofhell

Ive seen this movie many times , I never figured out why Taylor didnt blurt it out in the chopper. But Barnes got what was coming to him in the end. Platoon is like 1 of the top 2 greatest war movies EVER !!!!

[Bombik83]

@ZionTemplar wich one is the second?

[ZionTemplar]

@Bombik83

Saving Private Ryan. Here are some great overlooked war movies you may never even heard of. Cross Of Iron , Lost Battalion , When Trumpets Fade , Siege of Firebase Gloria ,

[Bombik83]

@ZionTemplar Thank you very much.I will certainly watch these movies,I adore good war movies

[ReazonVEVO]

Esta parte me hace llorar :'(

[Filmatron3000]

I know this is a great movie and all and Im not to nitpicky about mistakes but when Elias looks up for help and he gets shot again, could they really not do an exit wound effect?

[robohunter2000ad]

@Filmatron3000 that's because it did not go straight thourgh

[Filmatron3000]

@robohunter2000ad soooooo a shot from an AK47 or whatever rifle he was using would not go all the way through? Im not a gun expert, but most times it would usually go throgh

[herman56belgium]

I HAVE BEEN IN THE ARMY WITH BOYS WHO WHERE IN VIETNAM!!! THAT ARE HEROS !!! YES FOOLS

[Shack83]

Taylor didn't start wearing that red bandana until after Elias was killed, fitting tribute I thought.

[00Aluminium]

And then... "COVER ME YOU LIMP DICK FUCK UPS!"

[cobaltfirewarrior]

SURVIVE!

[HammersmithUK]

This scene is so brilliant! and the way Taylor looks at Burns in the chopper, knowing it was him who did it. The Vietnam war was the first war where the phrase "fragging" was coined. Where if an officer or senior was disliked then a platoon (by either popular decision or individuals) would kill the lead officer by means of a grenade or 'friendly fire'. So this film has some truth and validation to it...it's why I like it so much.

[imsupercerrrrrial]

@HammersmithUK I dont know if this is true but I was told that this scene has some historical accuracy, not that a sergeant was shot by his own but a soldier was left behind and was running from 50+ vietcong across a field. He didnt make it, which makes this scene even more chilling

[turkeypue]

@imsupercerrrrrial Wasn't the pose that Willem does at the end where he's sticking his arms up in the air inspired by something that a soldier actually did during the war? I think there's a photograph on the platoon wikipedia page.

[Dortmundfanatiker77]

Sergeant Eliasssssssssssssssss!!!

[ALE280290]

One of the best death scenes ever made! A masterpiece!

[PascARTproductions]

at 1:17 I can just imagian Sgt. Elias doing the famous "Howie scream"

If you are unsure what the "Howie scream" is, Look it up and do the math ;)

[billymayer1000]

song?

[vantage1887]

This film is legendary.

Dafoe is a god.

[jzcx2001]

four leaf noooooo, SURVIVE!

[thebasedchamp]

If only Sgt Lincoln Osiris had been in the chopper

[Elliot0k]

@thebasedchamp LOOOOL!!!

[lonestar2779]

@thebasedchamp if only the master Chief was in it using his needle gun

[rudidoodie1]

Possibly one of the most moving moments in american cinema, along with helicopter scene from apocalypse now. Its clearly stated earlier on in the movie that Elias no longer believes in the war, but once your in your stuck. There is no option apart from fight or desert.

[misterchesley]

Hey! They're ripping off Tropic Thunder! LOL

[DjScrape20]

@misterchesley You're joking right?

[misterchesley]

@DjScrape20 Of course!

[MrGabe305]

i always wondered what movie this scene was from until i finally saw platoon a couple of weeks ago.. great movie but i do think its overrated
