300 Battle Scene 4

[Killamuf]

even the Captain is so Epic...! Goosebumps.! Probably the best war movie for me.!

[Killamuf]

the way he calls "Stelios" is fucking epic...!  makes the ground shake..! haha. Good upload.! loved 300.

[harishankermenon]

What an End

[harishankermenon]

At 8:14 near Leonidas there is one more dead guy looking like him.hit Like if u agree

[harishankermenon]

Everything Seems So Real

[fins0fglory]

Why cant wars be more like this? now we just blow shit up...

[GUMMRUCHK]

At 6:52 I'd say rage and adrenaline make one hell of an anesthetic

[Thegamer1028]

all those arrows for 1 guy ...

[sefhde]

Spartan : "It is an honor to die by your side....."

Leonidas: "It's was an honor living at your side...."

Oh god SParta al the way!!!

[musemw]

i always hated that hunch back down syndrome retard.

[NECROLORDZ]

My Queen... my wife... my love.

[Feryanne]

i love this movie and the music is awesome <3

[Katewolf56]

the best part was from 5:39 keep watching until 5:50 that was epic

[tore28]

9:26 : Crucifix symbolism. Persians (muslims) kill the Spartan (christian) king. The conflict of the west versus east is age old.

[LuckyDukeSeven]

@tore28

Ironically, isn't it the exact opposite?

The Western Empire of Rome invaded Arabia, and took the Holy Land- in certain events completely slaughtering the residents of certain villages. We often forget that- just because the west worships him, doesn't mean Jesus is any less of a genetic Arabid (Semite.)

And Arabia would later raise a Nation and be the first nation in history to destroy the 3000 year old Persian Empire.

It's not as clear as you think.

[sufianansari7]

[TheConejoPedorro]

look my video on my channel from 300 is perfect!

[thedudefromrobloxx]

sad ending...

[Giooo1995]

This was amazing, watching it on my computer screen, I was entranced. A great film, in my opinion.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

Xerxes I of Persia, also known as Xerxes the Great, was the fourth king of kings of the Achaemenid Empire.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

Xerxes is the protagonist of the opera Serse by the German-English Baroque composer George Frederic Handel. It was first performed in the King's Theatre London on 15 April 1738. The famous aria "Ombra mai fù" opens the opera.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

Later generations' fascination with ancient Sparta, and particularly the Battle of Thermopylae, has led to Xerxes' portrayal in works of popular culture. For instance, he was played by David Farrar in the 1962 fiction film The 300 Spartans, where he is portrayed as a cruel, power-crazed despot and an inept commander.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

He also features prominently in the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller, as well as the movie adaptation (portrayed by Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro), in which he is represented as a giant god-king. This portrayal has attracted controversy, especially in Iran.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

Other works dealing with the Persian Empire or the Biblical story of Esther have also referenced Xerxes, such as the video game Assassin's Creed II and the film One Night with the King, in which Ahasuerus (Xerxes) was portrayed by British actor Luke Goss. He is the leader of the Persian Empire in the video game Civilization II and III (along with Scheherazade), although Civilization IV replaces him with Cyrus the Great and Darius I.

[SuperGreatSphinx]

Gore Vidal, in his historical fiction novel Creation, describes at length the rise of the Achemenids, and especially Darius I and presents the life and death circumstances of Xerxes. His vision of history goes against the grain of Greek histories.

[maximusmagnanimus100]

Efialtes (en griego Εφιάλτης, lit. "pesadilla")1 era el hijo de Euridemo de Malis y originario de Traquis, en Tesalia. Traicionó al rey espartano Leónidas en 480 a. C., ayudando al rey persa Jerjes I,nota 1 a encontrar otra ruta alternativa al paso de las Termópilas. Esto permitió a los persas derrotar al pequeño grupo de defensores espartanos, del cual sólo sobrevivieron dos.

[maximusmagnanimus100]

Los motivos que le impulsaron a la traición de los espartanos se desconocen. Efialtes esperaba ser recompensado por los persas, pero terminó por no obtener nada cuando éstos fueron derrotados en la Batalla de Salamina. Efialtes huyó entonces a Tesalia, con una recompensa pendiendo sobre su cabeza. Según Heródoto fue muerto, aparentemente por otro motivo, por Atenades de Traquinia, sobre el 479 a. C.

[TheHardcorePony]

the captain is a boss taking a spear to the chest and 2 swords and killing the 3 men before going down

[YellowFellow37]

I bet at least one of them took an arrow to the knee!! JK. I actually love this movie. The Spartans were badass!!

[MrGarrett1911]

7.28 FUS DO RAH

[CrazyDaddy420]

fuck that hump-backed douche.

[yinyangwzrd]

"Leonidas, your victory will be complete, if you but to lay down your arms, and kneel before the god-king xerxes."

*Leonidas kneel, xerxes stand in his mighty pose*

*suddenly..*

"Stellios!!!"

*Stellios jumps and killed the emissary*

[Ezio9671]

Stelios is badass!

[Michael93406]

One of the movie classics worth watching over and over again especially to show it to someone who has never seen it before. Nice posting job. Thanks.

[lagreify]

8:10 thats exactly how i want to die. with honour in battle.

[siddbastard]

@lagreify and that's exactly how you wont. you can thank civilization for that.

[lagreify]

@siddbastard i know but i dont "thank" civilization for that.

[siddbastard]

@lagreify i understand, i was mostly ironic

[lagreify]

why did he tell effialties to live for ever?I would throw my spear in hes head if i saw him.. explain please

[SportingFanatic1906]

@lagreify

Because he wanted him to know he was a sell out and he wanted him to suffer for ever knowing that he betrayed and kill his own comarades and his own nation,he wants him to suffer forever so he wants him to live forever

[lagreify]

@SportingFanatic1906 ty

[Hightemplarl]

That image of the spear's reflection in the stairs, just resonates with me for some reason. Just a very symbolic image. In fact, throughout the whole movie, there's some nice symbolism.

[Stavros15100]

proud to be greek!!!!!!

[uberjens]

@ComradeMing Qin would have bowed to Leonidas!

[Stavros15100]

His sacrifice was very important for Greek city-states

[PaniWiola]

Asian, arabs decendents.. they were always primitive..

[starwalker97]

spartans won in the end and and for the maker of this vid are spartans still around today i mean there blood line?

[TheYouranapple]

to be a spartan you must

lose your virginity

be sexy and strong

dont fear anything (expect teddy bears they are scary as shit)

and you need to get a cool helmet

[MrMobbydick12]

@TheYouranapple and you need to be baptised in blood they have trained since they could stand

[XxHeavenHenryxX]

What Leonidus tried to do was prove that Xerses wasn't a God and he can bleed just as much as everyone else. If you come to look at it, it's worse than killing him because he believed he was a God for so long and to be proven wrong was like hell.

[GeneralVert31]

In reality, Leoidas died during the beginning of the last day, not the final one to die. The mass arrow strike (2nd one) did happen, but only to kill the final 4-5 spartans protecting the body of Leoidas. Funny, almost 250,000 Persians could not kill 4 Spartans protecting the corpse of their king.

[1stSSLeibstandarte]

To think, several years later in Saramis, those Persians would face much larger hoardes of similar Spartans...

(less brave, less well trained, but indeed a hoard, not counting the Athenians and other city state soldiers)

[jakoson7]

Guys frank miller (the writer) intended this. Leonidas actually aimed for the earring on purpose just to prove that a "god king" can bleed. it's weird i know but that's the truth.

[omarmanutd]

6:59 wtf guys r just standin there watchin that persian die lol

[DaLukaXD]

scars last forever bitch! fkn achillies throw! >.<

[savoulis1]

no he missed his head because he didnt have his shield to balance him because when they train they re used to holding their shields if he was still holding it he wouldve got him clear through the face

[Future0331]

The hunchback tratior is a douchebag......

[daoyinyang]

@Future0331 He respects the Spartans, the spartans didn't respect him. It's not his fault.

[Future0331]

@daoyinyang regardless...you dont do that shit....lmao

[Asertix357]

How exactly could that one Spartan soldier, with his helmet and his shield, manage to hit that monster rhino right in the eye, yet Leonidas was unable to properly execute Xerxes? I know they lost and history records this, but at least explain it better!

[andrb92]

when astonas hit the rhino with his spear, he had a clear target a few metres ahead of him, yet lenoidas had to hit xerxes from a big distance, and he only wanted to show Xerxes that he isn't a god by showing him he can bleed, so that would be his downfall, it just needs a little thought.

[MRandomname100]

@andrb92 do you know what else would have shown xerxes he wasnt a god? killing him

[coreqek]

That young spartan soldier had an aim-hack : (

[brendankussman]

@Asertix357 I don't think the attempt was to kill Xerxes. If he had, then the Persian ruler would have died a God. By injuring Xerxes he exposes him as the mortal he truly is, essentially destroying the fantasy that compelled so many civilizations to join his cause. Rather than let him die a martyr, he became a failure in the eyes of his followers. In a way, Leonidas literally defaces the Persian Empire.

[TheTier11]

@brendankussman exactly

[umarmaxmas]

@Asertix357 maybe the rhino guy was a better shooter, wtf man its a film relax and enjoy and dont do maths here.

[lolmanYAA]

@Asertix357 Although based on a true vent, this movie is actually based on a comic book of the Battle of Thermopylae

[jayce9995]

@Asertix357 It said in the movie that he usually throws with his shield in his other hand, so not having that opposing weight threw him off

[KTA1sVidsandFacts]

@Asertix357 THIS MOVIE IS HOLLYWOOD THERE WAS NO 300!! ALSO IMMORTALS NEVER FOUGHT HOPLITES (Greek soldiers) THEY WERE DISBANDED AFTER DARIUS DIED!

[gianniskavalagr83]

@KTA1sVidsandFacts did they ? Perhaps you should open Herodotus and read the story :) . Really where are you from ? Apparently not greek , the persian wars was a big chapter in our history classes at school . 

[ricardohes14]

@Asertix357 Well he wanna show the world that even a god king can bleed and he did it !!

[SloeElvis]

@Asertix357 A rhino has a huge head and is relatively predictable, since Astinos had more time to aim his throw. Leonidas barely had any, and his target was way smaller.

[lieftorn]

i know this is just a movie but it still bugs me that spartan did wear chest plates and never cloaks during battle.

[thespartaman]

they wore cloaks

[lieftorn]

well yes they did wear cloak but as soon as they were going to fight they discarded them.

[thespartaman]

and they also wore armored skirst or w/e you call them, greaves and bracers

[andrb92]

its supposed to be entertaining, and epic, not a bunch of pussys (to put it lightly) it addeds to the affect of the movie

[ianshakebakex]

@andrb92 wearing armor doesnt make somebody a pussy. You're calling out alot of people by saying that, millions actually. The real spartans wore armor out of necessity. They were walking tanks, and just because someone isnt a pussy doesnt mean they have to go without armor.

But yes, it was meant to be entertaining and give people a general idea of what happened, not to be an exact historical account.

[r3as00n]

@andrb92 you`re right and its one of my fav movie too xD 

[mike972471]

yea. you try fighting with a cloak swinging around. its not as easy as you think. someone could grab it and throw you on the ground or something. its a disavantage

[Heliospathe]

@lieftorn They (Spartans) wore red cloaks which they exchanged with the Thespians for staying behind to fight till the end.

[AbiltyStrike666]

@Heliospathe the thespians are ? , the one led by daxos? or not?

[aimiliano13]

it's an awesome video

[Reaper206]

I like how people complain about it not being historicly accurate but they forget its a movie not the history channel they gota make it exciting and entertaining... . .. .

[persianillidan]

Ayro barzanes did abeslutley the same thing against ALexander ! but know bdy knows him coz hez persian ?!!!

u guys better read more historical bookz then talking bullshits about Great Nationz and Cultures :) with all respect 4 my Greecz brothers ;)

Long Live IRAN !

[Quintinthegreat]

Believe it or not? The Spartan had another weapon that was not shown at all in the movie. It was the Javelin which was the long range weapon of the Spartan.

[zimsta66]

this movies isnt the most accurate thing on the battle of the 300 spartians my 7th grade textbooks says its different

[watchmendis]

yeah take away the monsters and the slow mo and its pretty much the same

[MasterBroly]

well it's more based on the comic book

not fact

[paydafee]

no shit sherlock

this is a hollywood movie, if ur actually going to whine about historical accuracy, you really have no life

[Alkoholistiko]

Its just a movie. You think that I believe that if Finnish guys makes some movie where 5 Finnish soldier shoots 100.000.000.000 russian people with one slingshot. And then I should cry on my knees "when 5 Finnish guy fought against Russians,oooh how brave they were" This is just a movie : )

[karamelac]

Try to read some book about this.

[Mast3rOfMuppets82]

A Spartan is true soldier.

[guesswho670]

1 spartan>the whole persian armada

[AGalexAG]

i am proud to be a greek

geia sou re leonida megale

u died honorable

[hi9122]

if there was a spartan and a tank the spartan will win

[suruburublux]

Spartans were by far the most fierce and brutal warriors ever existed. A spartan coming to you would be like a living Panzer V

[Drachenxx]

one ?..

Man..

A Spartan Would be like 10 Living panzer V...

[richcoolerearth]

His point was made. He made him bleed.

[MrTotaltotal]

they isent only 300 they are about

7000-10000 men

in the real life

[DinokillerSithlord]

they always make the persians butt ugly

[ph4nt0mf1ng3rs]

casue they are.

[swollower]

shut up and enjoy the movie

[ZoodlesMoomoo]

Some people comment after.

[baliwjam]

it's not about killing Xerxes, it's about showing Xerxes that he is not a god but a living man.

[doomsdayvert]

According to history, many Greek warriors were proud homosexuals. So yes they are.

[MagicBeemes]

no thats bs, in the greek history many greeks had their wifes to breed for children and man were for pleasure to have sex with.

its was just the way of living from the greeks has nothing to do with their gay or not.

[Savatage0087]

It must cost a shiny penny for the enemy king to get al those piercings replaced... Though they seem to have a lot of money, seeing they waste thousands of arrows on a single man

[kommisar]

How did Leonidas miss?

[doomsdayvert]

He purposely misses because he wants Xerxes and everyone who knows him see that he is not really a god.

[kommisar]

Wouldn't he have done that by killing him? Killing him might have even broken up his army.

[doomsdayvert]

Honestly I think not killing him would be better. He would have to live the rest of his life known as a would be god. The Persian armies could actually lose morale because of this.

[kommisar]

Gods don't die though. They're immortal. You didn't answer my question.

[fireatwill1994]

he didnt kill him because this movie is based on the battle of thermopalaye.

its based on a true story.

they couldnt make xerxes die in the movie becuase it didnt happen in real life

[kommisar]

Well, I doubt one of them threw a spear at Xerxes in the real story too.

[fireatwill1994]

well yeah, but its just based on the battle of thermopylae where 300 spartans met and lost to thousands of persians

[kommisar]

It just left a sour taste in my mouth that he missed.

[maximuslaurius]

it didnt stop them with the rest of the movie; i was expecting a UFO to turn up or something!

[kommisar]

No, he took off his helmet and threw down his shield so he could make a more accurate shot.

[Steven0935]

it's pretty hard to get someone with a spear when there extremely far away

[kommisar]

It's also pretty hard to kill thousands and thousands of people when your group is only 300 but these are Spartans! He should have made that shot.

[chrstilen5]

My Onix is hugh.

[laserman422]

so xerves tought he is god then he got bleed so hes not a god anymore? lol

[asdtech153]

gods don't bleed.... SO..... when xerves's minions see him bleed they begin to doubt his divinity

[cooldaniel6]

i've never seen the movie, so who is the guy with the humpback and wierd face with bumps all over him?

[maksusername]

Basically, a son of a spartan who would have been killed for his disability, but the father, wife, and son ran off. The father taught the humback son all of Sparta's secret tactics, formations, etc. He went to Leonidas and asked him if he could join their army. Leonidas rejected, because he could not cover the man to his left with his shield (too short). To get revenge, he told Persia all of Sparta's secrets, ergo, they were defeated.

[bullshizzilz]

lol

1 spartan = 500 persians xDDD jkjk, but it seems like that right? :P

[Tideria]

believe it or not, historically i think it was 60 persians to 1 spartan, though, i think it might be battle specific, y'know?

[Delta2334Rockstar111]

epic fail Xerxes

[nealdog12]

y did he miss so bad?

[tomwgasa]

Because in history Xerxes didn't actually die, and whilst the film has many historical inaccuracies, it can't actually rewrite history :-)

[nealdog12]

wat does he yell when the dude jumps off his back?

[0ttSenators]

he yells before to cue him to do it.

[daveyboy900]

Stelios (the soldier's name) as in to call him into battle to distract attention so he could make that throw without getting arrowed in the face :P

[TheSodaFreaK]

The spear through the cheek was to prove that he was not a god. and that he CAN bleed.

His people later killed him i think.

[muaythai4ko]

don't worry, the persia paid for it dearly100 years later, when alexander took victory all the way to babylon... & beyond.

[Fortune2011]

lets just say the wind caught the spear as he threw it  :)

[goddesslush]

Jealous..

[Killer31st]

i like the part from 6:50 - 7:15

[dragonslyer355]

almost killed xerxies if the spear went a little to the right.

[LovesNSpooge]

would of been sweet if the spere hit xerxes throught the head lol

[bruteboy96]

if leonidas had 20k men, i think it would be enough to TRASH xerxes.

btw, i play Age of empires and i m not gonna use xerxes anymore. he is a naked maniac

[muaythai4ko]

don't worry, the persia paid for it dearly100 years later, when alexander took victory all the way to babylon... & beyond.

[Nefelimslayer]

actually the word ichor is greek and it was the gods blood in ancient greek mythology but it wasnt gold it was light blue

[yipchuenkang]

so i see the bangala is not a god,the blood is the proof.if the God bleed = no God

[ICommentonVideo]

no... the gods can bleed but a gods blood is Ichor (which is a gold colored fluid)

[Kruger2521]

WTF

[Arrancar122]

We have never kneeled to an eastern civilization (Persians,Turk,Arabs).we always die with glory............ GREEKS=WAR TRIBE

[marklosextremus]

NO

ONE

GIVES

A

SHIT

[pepperbs]

[Steven0935]

nope you bowed down to the germans
