'300' old style

[aminoacid1648856]

To pefect this, you will need more special effects and epicness plus gore.

[aedimus]

For some reason when I heard him say, "Then we will fight in the shade," I was almost waiting for him to hold up his hand and add, "I big Chief, you savy?"

[commando414]

SPARTANS, TONIGHT, WE DINE, IN HELL!!!!!!

[life0rdeath]

Acutally spartans wore armour on their chest, they also wern't built like iron and many of them had a slight homosexual tendancy.

[SeppukuDoll]

@life0rdeath So what? Did they have to act like girls in any of the 300 movies? Any of those man could be gay for all I care.

[TheBlockeh]

I would rather they made a historically accurate remake of this, but with no fucking dumb ass graphical shite. The modern 300 is crap.. The fight scenes might be good, but honestly.. it's so predictable what happens.

[DDevospartan]

@TheBlockeh well to be fair it would be predictable no mather how you do it since well we know how it ended.

[seva809]

0:13 nice teeth

[Hellsconsort]

No wonder the persians lost so many. Their shields look like they are made out of those bathroom baskets you put your dirty washing in.

[BlackOps78321]

@Hellsconsort It's true.. even though the battle is highly exaggerated, Spartans didn't even make up most of the fighting force. It was just some made up war tale, and Spartans fell easily to anyone else who conquered Greece. Athens was a real powerhouse and always was a bit ahead of Sparta, because although they were raised to be warriors it doesn't make much of a difference when you're stabbed/killed. Persians had not only leather/wood against bronze but no manueverability or height.

[borat935]

@Hellsconsort if you actually look closely it seems as if they are holding the lid of those baskets HAHAHAH

[demeandr121]

I think the new 300 is better than this.

[CreatureGam3r]

they had no persian actors around that time or what?

[Tiwaz81]

@CreatureGam3r In a word. No.

[Justinian43]

SOmeone please tell me this, how the hell is this battlefield anything like thermopylae (ancient thermopylae not new one) seriously where is the narrow pass? i only see 300 soliders running with lots of space in their left and right flanks to be exploited by cavalry attacks. unrealistic i mean the movie looks worth watching but... bad choice of setting (costumes look realistic though)

[terminatorReloaded]

xD Actualy, in this version is a scense that Leonidas says the EPIC FRASE "μολον λαβε!!" and no the new 300 bullshit "this is sparta" 

[Nightmonkey17]

Lol the pause at 0:09 is what makes it hilarious.

[HaloEditor]

........agenst a bunch... lol

[explodingninja1]

the spartans in the old verison look super relistic

[Rageinacage100]

I watched this moive a day before I heard they were making 300 what a great day that was

[fred5399]

go tell the spartian thou passed by in obidence to her world here we lie

[david1550123]

xD with the music xD makes me laugh.... a very classic movie tho

[svanlandboy]

mbdulka is write there were 300 Spartans whith their king Leonid and 7000 ather Greeks fighting with 45 000 Persians in a very small hillock. why this story is so so Legendary now because of King Leonid who died there. anyway this old film is much more better then new total bullshit one! :D

[OW41N]

@svanlandboy im sure there was alot more than 45000 there were a quarter of a million people there and the reason the spartans got flanked was because the 1000 greeks they stationed on the trail moved back to defend their city state

[fty170]

@svanlandboy thts true but u got yo numbers mixed up 45,000 persians died out of 250,000-300,000

[Morr1992]

It looks way more realistic than the new 300 movie.

[watevatube]

@Morr1992

300 movie was based on a graphic novel which took creative liberties with the story.

[sixamaras]

@Morr1992

[deadlehskilz]

@Morr1992 wow sorry dude i accidently hit thumbs down instead of thumbs up.....:P

[technofreak3535]

@Morr1992 Because they are wearing the armour of a roman officer from around 100 A.D.?

Hahaha... Secondly, the battle took place in Thermophylae, a very narrow gorge, I don't see any here.

[aminoacid1648856]

@technofreak3535 Actually, the Roman helmet and armor is wear by Greek officers

[omcorc]

It just shows that nothing is original anymore. Just like "Gladiator" was pretty much a remake of "The Fall of the Roman Empire" starring Christopher Plummer.

[mbdulka]

Not really. Frank Miller was greatly influenced by this movie, one of the inspirations for his 300 comic ... which was then turned into a movie many years down the road into the modern 300 movie. A good story just retold a bit different, that's all.

[Nelafix]

"When we atack today, our arrows will blot out the sun!" "Than we will fight in the shade"

[chukon468]

athens stopped persian navy from surrounding the 300 spartan and the 1500-2000 other greeks who actually did fight with them, so they held off for some days; people give to much credit to sparta, when the other 2000 greeks and the athenian navy actually is a large reason why they survived so long

[arcangel242]

@chukon468 - its true that the athenian navy held off the persians and allowed the spartans and there allies a chance to fight without being surrounded but the spartens still deserve a lot of credit. at the time they were they best fighting force in the world. a modern equivelant would be the navy seal or delta force. without the spartans defending the thermobily pass, persia probly would have gotten to athens much faster then it did.

[WolfytheWolf5667]

Solechnaya:

A greek recorded the number as 800 Thousand.

And the 'Immortals' wore black cloth you couldn't see into, but they could, so that's where 300 get's the Ninja idea from. But most of them were not Asian. They were probably from around where the Seljuks lived, like Premedieval Iran/Iraq/Pakistan/Afghanistan­.

[Leonidasalih]

hi ı watched this film longtime ago.İs there any one who konws that films name is:??

[mbdulka]

@Leonidasalih

The 300 Spartans

[epearl8]

neither is the modern version. but this one talks about Themistocles and how the spartans would be dead if it wasnt for athens

[Thtyler]

lol there all white when the persians are suppose to be tan !

[failtolawl]

thats awesome, i gotta watch this beast

[Octavius0]

This with modern effects and techniques would beat the balls out of the fantasy cack that was 300.

[Solechnaya]

It would have seemed less of a feat though.

[hazeous95]

where is the hot gates? haha

[palpatine84]

Good dialog, poor battles.

[DarkMurmillo]

Much better than 300. Period, you are arrogant and need to be educated in the classics if you think otherwise.

[jon3519]

i've seen this... although it is much more historically accurate. once you've seen 300 and try to watch this, it looks like crap

[WarHurts24]

u r right

[thetoadsagenaruto]

its more accurate historically but their persians are white lmao

[DarkMurmillo]

The Persians were an Olive white, they certainly weren't Black like in 300.

[thetoadsagenaruto]

well you learn something every day

[Huhmasta]

lol despite how crappy this looks, it's actually more historically accurate than the modern 300. Although they look nothing like spartans.....not even buff, armor looks wimpy as shit, and those helmets are WRONG. Still, none of that "half naked fighting" and random monsters.

[Evallandercomingsoon]

@Huhmasta

but isn't it meant to be based on myths of gods and creatures and shiz?

I'm sure if you watched the full old movie there'd probs be a few, but if you ask me, it's not as good as the new one.

[Huhmasta]

@Evallandercomingsoon no I have not watched the old one, and Im sure it's a hell of a lot more entertaining to watch then this. Just stating that this one is more realistic.

[Evallandercomingsoon]

@Huhmasta

I agree with you on that :P

but I don't believe they aimed for realism in the new one xD

but I guess that was obvious :P

[Huhmasta]

@Evallandercomingsoon lmao, you'd be surprised at the amount of idiots who still think 300 was REALISTIC....

[Otobob]

@Huhmasta yes but i am sure that the persians shields were not made out of basket

[Huhmasta]

@Otobob Yeah not basket, but it was some sort of wood material maybe reinforced with leather? I dunno, not metallic to my knowledge

[Otobob]

@Huhmasta but in the movie its basket , and the rest you said about the spartan armor , i find this one more realistic but i do find the new one much better

[Huhmasta]

@Otobob lol well obviously the new one it is a shit ton better, I was just talking about realism.

[vlad007001]

@Huhmasta well sometimes the greek fighted half naked to show the greek phisical perfection

[Huhmasta]

@vlad007001 lol i wouldn't put it past them. The spartans did after all have sex with boys

[GPlinthon]

@vlad007001 Haha... yes sometimes they fought completely naked to show their balls too...

[TheBighairyfart]

@Huhmasta It doesn;t look crappy.

[lolsrakete]

Its Fucking

[SirOberonTheStriped]

Modern thermopylae isn't like in the movie any more. The sea has retreated a few miles back.

...Spartans probably scared it off. =D

[AlexGreatWarrior]

Im gonna test if it really happens... I could use a chaisaw they 're quite expensive these days...

[Sal0z]

King Leonidas and his men made their last stand in a small mountainpass called Thermopylae, so they could take full advantage of their Phalanx-tactic. This is fakeeee

[1337808]

amen to that

[whowantsabighug]

not a mountain pass they were positioned with the sea to thier right and a cliff to the left

[AnimeFreak2178]

This movie is a classic.

It's like the "Lawrence of Arabia", of Ancient Greece.

[Deximaru]

LMAO... genius

[CHAMUCO7o2]

lol

[ndkblackhawk]

I had to see this in school for history :p, nice film

[Blackdragon52k]

Lol I thought this was kinda funny

[thephilippe]

yea that's the original movie ^^

[libass3]

Joke!!!!

[rt7n8n1]

It's not a joke, that's the movie Frank Miller watched when he was a boy.

[66asjz66]

300 is dumb,the immortals carried spears they didnt look like freakin ninja assassins!the movie is based on a COMIC BOOK anyways

[NJburbsSeeker]

Wow you can't get history from comic books? I lov eyou guys.

[colinrulez10]

not a comic book a REAL historical event this REALLY happend its historical fictoin not fantasy i may be way ezagerataed but it really happend

[pkernick4]

You do know that Fiction means fake right?

[Spartiatai300]

He's right, the movie is fiction. However the battle and the last stand really did happen in history. 300 Spartans really went there to defend the pass and they really made their last stand. Thats not fiction.

[dkk75]

its historical fiction... partially real partially fiction... so not completely wrong, the battle of Thermopylae DID in fact favour the Greeks and the Persian army was 1,000,000 when they left Persia however many died of starvation and shipwrecks... so not that unhistorical :)

[Spartiatai300]

Well, fiction is fiction ^^.

Did it favour the Greeks, well ofcourse it did. Why defend the pass otherwise? =)

And history says that it were 200.000.000 Persians, Historians gues it at 250.000. So in fact its still unknown who its right.

[kelborn24]

WTF? that's gotta be a typo. 200 million persians?

[Spartiatai300]

Oh srry, thats supposed to be 2 million. My bad =P.

[Solechnaya]

At the time, even one million soldiers was impractical for most leaders. It would have been more like a few hundred thousand.

[Spartiatai300]

My bad, the Greeks said there were about one million soldiers yet modern guesses are it were about 250.000 yet there isn't any proof for either.

[beothesecond1]

actually there was about 7000 greeks, and 300 spartans (Persians: between 250.000 and 1.000.000) But when the 7000 greeks pulled back the 300 stood tall, they managed to drive back the immortals (10.000) an dwhen they where surrounded and everyone else fled they fought to the death. That's the truth behind the myth according to experts

[lulzbot]

the 300 spartans weren't the only ones that stayed... 400 thebans and 700 thespians stayed and died honorably with the 300 spartans

[Artemistech]

Actually the 400 Thebans surrendered to the Persans.Thebes had sided with Persia...

[lulzbot]

Oh yeah. Sorry, forgot. Surrendered and branded.

[Artemistech]

Do not forget the 700 thespies (hoplites from city-state Thespia) which stayed back to DIE by the Spartans side.

[NJburbsSeeker]

Few stood against many is still pretty impressive even if we never know the exact numbers.

[mbdulka]

Actually, most of the Greek army there was ordered back to Athens ... they did not flee. Only volunteers stayed, which as is written correctly here by a few people, 700 Thespians and 400 Thebans (who later surrendered and branded with the traitors mark).

[CanoPinto]

300 LOL, what a stupid myth... there was more greeks there, including 500 thebas who change their side: they went to Xerxes side. The ancian movie is better, they used "Hiatory", by Herodoto. Miller´s 300 is a xenophobic and militarist fantasy.

[NJburbsSeeker]

His movie is based off a comic book...folklore legend based of a real battle. You can pickup any history book and get the whole story. If you think you can get your history from a movie your a moron. It was a great action film, and I didn't find it xenophobic at all. Imagine hating people who are trying to conquest you....what racism. lol And there is nothing wrong with praising a warrior culture. Many Greek fought in the Hot Gates and they should all be remembered as heroes.

[colinrulez10]

i know what really happend at thermopaly and the old movie is WAY more realistic then the new one. giant elaphnts? sub human monsters? yeah old movie pretty acurate new movie not so much

[ItsTimeNowMyTimeNow]

You can't look at it so literally. The elephants obviously would have been described as giant, massive, etc. They had never seen such beasts before. The sub human monsters? Most likely someone with giantism who had been whipped, tortured and brutalized just like all the other Immortals but without the suit or facemask. That guy with the clawed hands... I can't remember what the disease is called but it IS real and if you look closely on the movie he has blades attached to the ends.

[yannos1000]

Yes he can, fact remains that the new 300 was a parody of that battle. The persians DID NOT send elephants agaisnt the spartans, they did NOT unleash sub-humans on them, they did NOT have pseudo-ninja immortals. What that movie did was to take a dramatic battle and wring it through the hollywoodification machine until the tripe that was 300 came out on the other end. It was propaganda, on the outside a spartan anti-persian, on the inside... (bedouine-like warriors, arabic-looking persians etc)

[kelborn24]

so......it was still cool for the fight scenes........ i agree that it would have been nice if they made it a little more realistic...like giving spartans armour for example...but not so that it's stupid and boring.......remember, hollywood is trying to make money, not just trying to be historically accurate.

[yannos1000]

So when the heck did realistic mean stupid and boring? Ever seen Alexander? Its depiction of the battles of Gaugamela was nearly 100% realistic and it was neither. What I am saying is that it wasn't even NEEDED to make it exciting .But what we ended up with was an imbecilic, propagande-marinated, ridiculously exaggerated piece of asinine tripe. It IS a good movie stylistically speaking, but ALL that could have been shown without the moronic additions and the islamophobic propaganda.

[tremedar]

@yannos1000 Holy shit man...do you not realize this movie in its entirety is being narrated from the viewpoint of a single soldier of that era? The guy is telling a story to soldiers making up the army that fought at Plataea, describing what he saw, how he perceived it with his own eyes and from other stories told about the same things. Yes, alot of that IS propaganda...from one Ancient Greek to many right before a HUGE battle, his attempt at getting them fired up for the battle to come.

[yannos1000]

@tremedar Yes, something the makers of the movie took like a whole fucking year to admit, before that they were burping up "it's historically accurate" like a scratched record. Not to mention that the use of arabic imagery and styles (which the persians didn't use, fact) has made it very, very appliciable to modern islamophobia as a propaganda thing. I don't think it HAS to be intentionally insulting, the makers of the movie aren't evil. They're just idiots.

[mbdulka]

300 Spartans

700 Thespians

400 Thebans (who gave up in the very end) .... 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians died on a small hillock together.

The original Greek army was about 7000 thousand, until it become known they would be encircled, so Leonidas (commander of the whole army) ordered all Greeks back except his 300 Spartans (and the Thebans and Thespians volunteered to stay too).

[LietenantAwesome]

Thebans didn't volunteer, they were forced to stay.

[mbdulka]

They were forced to stay? According to who? Why then were they allowed to surrender? Why not forced to die too?

[LietenantAwesome]

According to Heradotus IIRC. They were allowed to surrender because all of the Spartans had died. Leonidas forced them to stay in the first place as a test of loyalty, as it was said (at the time) that Thebes was sympathetic towards Persia. Once the Spartans were all killed, the Thebans were spared because of the friendly relations between the two.

[mbdulka]

Well, IIRC, that's not in Heradotus'' "Histories" -- unless I ignored it. I shall look at it again! Thanks! But, kinda seems strange they'd be branded with the mark of untrust worthy deserters by the Perians if they had friendly relations.

[Titanium267]

Hell no

[lygophile]

lol. does he say 'this is sparta' somewhere in that tone?

[breastinspector2]

it all comes down to what REALLY happened in sparta that day, and how close this and 300 get to that. whichever is closer wins IMO.

[greek2l]

VERY GOOG VIDEO!

[tahtahfornow000]

uhh its call 300 spartans i have it and its really good =)

[ghostrecon1234567]

This version actually owns the new crappy version of 300. No more oiled dudes armed withonly a shield,spear and cape. No more fantasy ninja immortals either.

[kohsuket]

I agree. The new one is the worst movie I've ever seen. Over acting, a lame ass speach, the enemies bodies are as weak as Happy Tree Freinds and the whole movies is so fucking noisy.

[Solechnaya]

The Spartans did wash themselves with oil to cleanse before battle. And there were the "immortal" soldiers, but yes, they were not like ninjas.

Oh well, in the end, it's just a film.

[MrFigglez]

Yeah how the depicted the immortals as ninjas was stupid, they had shields and spears just like any other army, obviously not as good as spartan equipment, spartan shield was like 50 lbs at that time i think? idk if they were a professional army or not, but they were ugly motherfuckers with no teeth to scare the shit out of the enemy. 300s a good movie, but not historically correct at all. if it was, all the greeks would have an orgy after a hard days fight haha.

[Legoman554]

hahha the new version of 300 owns this movie so much

[sinnerssoul302]

i agree legoman

[AlphaGod333]

lol

[GJGJ654]

hahahaha the truth spartan was not between 5 feet 10 and 6 feet 5, but more like 4 feet 10 and 5 feet 5, and with alot of hair in their chest and with baldness problem in majority, so the Spartan was like an army of Dany Devito.

[KahoolJB]

Thank uuu. I've been tryin to explain that to all these girls that go gaga over the overly oiled up Leonidas lol

[anders96813]

haha, that's a good way to describe it

i didn't know that

[lavela12]

hahaha cheapy

[VladmeriusFrost]

the song is "Just like you imagined" by Nine inch nails.

[ltkammo]

thnx

[ltkammo]

what is this song

[kungfufreak5]

it was from the new 2007

"300" trailer

[ltkammo]

yah but do you know the song??

[808Productionz]

This was an actually funnier version lol, I mean the persians look like they're carrying carpets -_-"

[phades]

i went to the new one.. damn this is hard to watch and not laugh :P

[Teslarn]

lol, the old one have shit acting and shit shit shit, and a bit more piece of frickin' shit

[tekko001]

Saw both movies and liked the old one better ,its intelligenter made even if it looks a lot more crappy, the new movie feels like a Video Game (just video effects)even if its bloodier it feels dumber.

[DODOUBLEDIZZY]

'intelligenter' - nice mate, nice. The new film was based on a comic book - I love all this debate about the hidden racist motivation behind the film - it's a comic book and historical account (abeilt not a realistic one), but the battle of Thermopyle did happed, it certainly isn't American propaganda.

[simon1812]

so there is ppl actually saying 300 is american propaganda?? i dont know who is more laughgable those ppl or this video!!! :D

[kungfufreak5]

lol

[kungfufreak5]

so tru

[bariskilic87]

çok boktan...

[PIPOPIPO3]

cute!

[Caketaker21]

nice rhomboid formation. lol

[sin666harvest]

hahhahhaha

love it.

[Caketaker21]

th old movie was actually quite good for its time. But as in today it was used slightly as propoganda against the soviets then and now possibley againsty muslims and middle east nations

[GnosticDjinn]

I, Robot. Nothing anti-red about that.

Seriously, reworking propagated movies? Now, not only are new ideas in movies rare, but new ideas in political agendas are copying? What have we become?!

[Guyver89]

you can say that 300 wasnt based on this movie but based on a comic that was based on this that was overexagerating this

[ichsuka]

old style still looks cool xD

[unico]

LOL

i'm from imdb boards...this was bad/good/funny ^_^

[drunkdonutboy]

LMAO, omg, that was freakin comical, great job vladmerius XD

it definitely makes me glad i didn't see the old one, the new one will be a sight to behold...

[syraxus]

lol I will have to rent this movie, hahaha

[not4resale]

HAHAHAHAHHA, omg i loved it.

[aredotwice]

LOL they have the SAME LINES?!

[valleyofthedamned]

Well Frank Miller based the GN off this movie, and the new movie takes speech directly from the GN...so it makes sense.

[drunkdonutboy]

according to Herodotus the 'than we will fight in the shade' was actually said by a spartan when informed how many arrows/infantry the Persians had, frank miller also got his inspiration from this movie as a kid

[ChezeCheese06]

it was meant 2 b like a fisherman who had seen the persian camp 4 himself and was trying 2 discourage the Spartans from staying, though im probably wrong...

[VladmeriusFrost]

the song is "just like you imagined" from nine inch nails and is the highlight of the trailer for '300' in my opinion it is what makes the trailer so kick ass.

[MEGAPEGA]

lol hey its not so bad comon !!! the movie was not bad at all..

[Steakslim]

lol man, makes me glad I never saw the old film

[ChrisWasLike]

What is that song?!

[VladmeriusFrost]

Thank you, this shows how good 300 (2007) will be.

[Hereticmnk]

Cmon man it was made in like 62 -_- give it some credit and yes I do pee my pants when I see the new movie trailer but this aint that bad =D

[don1988dk]

hahahaha that was so bad hahahahhah
