manfred von richtoffen is one of the best aces during ww1 with 80 kills during that period. known as the red devil or his famous well known name that every one knows The Red Baron. manfred was only 25 if i can remember when he died purdy young but one of the well known fighter aces of all time.
@mensk070 They were mainly used for recon and the collecting of battlefield maps. But the ones your see in the film were barrage ballons, as the person below me stated, bullet sponges.
No question the combat scenes were first rate. Bravo, actor even looks like the real Red Baron. Movie did poorly and lost money, so they had to have done something wrong. Movie should have been in German, with english subtitles. Would have been more realistic. Saw Das Boot (WWII sub movie) in German, with subtitles, great movie and it made money. Red Baron is a european movie not Hollywood, so it didn't have to be in english. That n better script, could have been a great movie and made money.

This was a great movie. However it is well documented that the Baron active promoted shooting the men manning the machine guns on two seaters before trying to bring down the plane. His goal was efficiency not pacifism. It was safer to shoot the gunner first. It was safer to not kill pilots because they would be less likely to try and kill you if they shot you down.
I think this film is not point out the histroy but the love story. It is nice at their love story and friendship but not focus on history. But I think more people want to see the war sences but not lve story of Red Baron??haha
I think the main reason most of the plot sucks is Germany is still afraid to appear to glorify war. Got to wash that plot down with redeeming social values. Can't glorify war like those good American war heros. Some say mostly accurate?, if his best friend is totally fabricated (no one questions that) we are to believe he was disallusioned by the war and that a Victorian Era national hero is disrepectful to his superiors and is banging a nurse between shooting down planes.
@runner7275 agreed, it is the real sad part about the film. Though outside of the face palm moments I thought the movie was quite nice despite the over romantic nature of the life of a fighter pilot, in fact I actually enjoyed that part of the film. If the politices were taken out of the movie it would of been perfect personally.
what the hell,hehehe,a german officer whit his hands in the pockets meanwhile talk whit his superior official in 1:19 to 1:24? perhaps is was a yanki official? hahahaha,c'mon,dudes,germans were so,so strict in their military habits that this is impossible,simply,hands in pocket is an habit of thieves and criminals,never a german officer would be with their hands in the pockets in front of his superior officer,and less talk in english,thats is for yankis,meanwhile eat bubblegum and fart,ahhahahah
Not only until late into his flying career. For most of his flying, he flew an Albatross d.iii biplane, a standard German issue. He painted it red after he received the Blue Max and given command of Jasta 11, for the purpose of easy identification for ground forces to confirm his kills. 60 of his confirmed 81 kills were in the Albatross. But, he wished for a faster, more agile plane, and the Focker dr.1 was designed for him for this purpose. That plane soon became iconic of him
@gara013 Fokker Dr1 was not designed for that purpous, it was actually slower and ironically if it was Richthofen still prefered his Albatross DVa over the Fokker Dr1. Dr1 was taken out of favor because of that major weakness, it was just way too slow, agile yes untable definitely, most pilots did not prefer it similar to most British Aces enjoyed the SE5a over the Camel. hehe
Advertised as a true story, but the Red Baron was not a pacifist, did not have a german jewish fighter ace best friend and did not have a hot sex life. Classic rewriting of history.
@runner7275 No but the nurse was real, and its true that she disappeared frm records after the first world war, so not much is known about her. He wasn't a pacifist, but he was like many men disallusioned by the end of the war. The film is.... mostly accurate to WW1. Obviously its been glamoured up to appeal to audiences, for example, the fighters didn't actually fly that fast.
@runner7275 Based on a true story could mean that some guy flew an airplane and they "based" this movie off of it...all there has to be is one true thing and they can say based on a true story....come on now I thought you knew this? No movie that was based on a true story is nearly correct at all...hollywood has to add extra stuff so its actually interesting...
@runner7275 just like 99% of american movies about the war in vietnam. who gives a shit man, honestly? if i want to get entertained i watch this movie, if i want to get some serious information i read a book. ;)
@runner7275 Man you got that right! The Baron was all for the destruction of Russia and a supreme victory for Imperial Germany. He didn't even have a girlfriend in his life because he was so isolated and alone; burdoned by greatness yet determined to see it all through. He became disgusted with the industrial war machine and the senseless slaughter of so many people in a war that they all thought was only going to last for a couple of weeks...but a pacifist? Hell-no!
@runner7275 actually yes he did have a jewish fighter ace friend. of course he was not a pacifist but he adopted his rulings from his mentor and and some of his own so he did not want to kill pilots he would rather take them down. which is why he and oswald boelckle stopped firing when the enemy was falling to the ground. no he did not have an amzing sex life but the movie never mentions sex one time in it. he did have a relationship with a women named kate though. Know ur shit before posting it
And how exactly would you know any of these things. You're right about the jewish pilot, but it is said at the end of the movie that this fictional character was a tribute to jewish pilots in WWI, so no rewriting of history there. I don't like people who poste things they don't know enough about.
@KulakxFilms Yes, he earned over 80 airplane victories and has beat some of Britians best with everything kind of problem from jammed machineguns to a inferior plane. He died do to going too deep into Allied territory and shot down by a British fighter pilot or Australian machinegunners. If you ask me the best fighter pilot of all time.
@drnogood59 Not a British fighter pilot, Capt Roy Brown was a Canadian; he claimed to have killed the Baron while rescuing fellow Canadian fighter pilot Wilfred May< Later to become famous as a bush pilot (Who was being pursued by the Baron while on his first mission as a pilot!)
Bullshit. He flew his circus into the melee and hovered around the edges waiting to pick off lame ducks and singletons who broke for home. His circus was the canon fodder. Do you REALLY imagine that even the best pilots could escape the bad luck of the melee for so long? Why do we need to invent super heroes so badly and then believe our inventions.
exactly look at how the best pilots died, Von Richtoven died from forgotting the rules and following an enemy plane past the lines, Mancock died from going low and having a bullet hit his fuselage, the best pilots died because of simple mistakes, however it is because of the legend they inspired and their amazing lives that we make them superheroes
@3286headshot no shithead. Germans in WW1 were fighting for there country for exactly the same reasons as Americans did for theres. ( and so were Germans fighting for there country in WW2 )
That nurse is like twice his age. She is fucking hot. I bet if she threw her pussy in the air, it would turn to sunshine and blind the Red Baron and his entire squadron.
The germans can make movies as good as the americans but with only just 1/10th of the amount of moeny necessary to make it... I admire thier work it's good.
My only beef with this film is the part in the movie he tells his pilots; "we're here to down planes, not kill men. We're pilots not butchers" but there is a direct quote from The Baron (from real life) where he said "if you shoot at a plane, kill the pilot. If its a two seater, shoot the observer first"
@Ralroost Totally correct. I reacted to that scene as well. Guess real life quotations and facts are sometimes a little bit too gruesome for the modern movies where people wouldn´t quite be able to elevate the object of their awe to hero status if they started thinking about what war is really about. Just my two cents though...
@chh5555 You must have a bad taste in movies then. Go on, keep watching all brawn and no brainer movies, but keep your worthless comments off truly good movies.
@TheTru3nd Actually no, I have great taste in all things, even film. The dogfight scenes are exactly as I said, too much computer game graphics... The Blue Max is far superior in this respect.
@echobuff Germans werent the only ones that treat harshly Jews... But yes thats true many jews serve German British French Russian and other armies is quite bad that they were treated badly by the countries they adopt most German Jews and most European Jews just wanted to fit in contrary to popular belief that jews were Zionists Jews just became Zionists after WWII before Zionism was minority movement in Judaism
@ImperialGuard9001 I believe there were rogue Jews or Zionist that were in league with the Illuminati that took over Russia after the Czar was murdered and Lenin put in power. Ironically Lenin married a Jew, but communism started in America financed by a Jew with last name Lode. One of the early Rockefellers headed the communist commune in Az back in 30's at an annual salary of $75k which was a small fortune in those days. If you read Grapes of Wrath the communes are described in that story
I think that was speculative about the ground trooper shooting down the Baron since the bullet came through the floor plus the bullet was same caliper as used by guns on the planes and ground troop's rifles. I'm inclined to agree with you but I don't think they ever proved for certain where the shot came from.
@LkOutMtnMan Is true modern historians agreed that shoot that killed him was from ground now from who is hard to say but was defintly the comom austrlian soldier that shooted the Aristocrat Baron and not one of his "Aristocrat" Pilot counterpart like Captain Brown. Brown shoot several times to Red Baron plane and miss to kill him was impossible shoots to hit the Baron on contary the ground shoots could and in fact hit him
Keep in mind that this war was the first use of aircraft to wage war and it offered those young men the only opportunity they would ever have to fly! I don't think most of them could envision the reality of killing and carnage they would see. The lure of glory, adventure and fame, I think outweighed the fear of death. I think Fly Boys brought out the risk of just learning to fly a plane where the motors turned around the crankshaft ! The first biplanes didn't have carburetors!
@LkOutMtnMan, good point, what they experienced was even mor dramatic than anything else anyone faced in that war. I hope that the film gets released in the States or in DVD too for me to have a real Iar War WWI Movie to watch.
Why didn't they mention "Enemy At the Gates" with Jude Law instead of these feminine romance movies that men don't care about, and have nothing to do with war?
OMG, Manfred Albrect Freiherr von Richtofen is soooo awesome!!! I gotta say that the actor looks pretty much like Baron!!!!! two thumbs up for this amazin movie...Very SPLENDID!
The movviee was awesomee!! just w@tchd it and luved evry bit.. Those who want to view it... it's n0w uploaded on ma PAGE... To go thr click 0n my nicknamee!
This movie is a very good and fun look at the famous airman from World War 1. I have it. It would make a good Christmas gift for a friend the way I see it.
I haven't seen the movie as yet and looks pretty good though it will probably leave out a couple of inconvenient truths. 1st - The romance with the nurse was perhaps just a German propaganda fabrication. 2nd - Recent projectile forensics strongly indicate Australian Infantry machine gunners killed the Red Baron, not the Canadian pilot. I suppose we will never really know for sure.
The bravery and honour of the Red Baron, his comrades and those he fought against deserve eternal remembrance.
Only thing I hated about this version of the film was that monterey media edited the film pretty badly in some cases.... which was so sad because i absolutely loved the original cut of this film.
I watched this movie in history class. I thought is was amazing and I want to watch it again so badly! I loved the story, I had my eyes glued to the screen the whole time! xD
PEOPLE LETS STOP fighting about WHO THE HECK SHOT DOWN THE RED BARON! NO ONE WAS HERE WAS THERE TO SEE WHO REALLY SHOT HIM DOWN! WE dont have a time machine or anything like that so just beleive in your theory and keep it to yourself! who knows maybe his plane might have even ran out of fuel We will never Know! cause we dont have a damn time machine! oh yea also great movie
Oh how I regret how this movie was made as it had so much potential. But they completely screwed it up. I am 99.9% sure that Richthofen never said anything close to what he says in the beginning of this trailer. In fact if I remember well he said the best way to shoot a plane down was to hit the pilot or something similar to this. It was war, Richthofen was perfectly conscious that this meant killing and that's what he did - like so many others.
@13Filmrisse personally I find the film being more based off the legend of the Red Daron not really the historical Red Baron being a rare case in which I'd actually prefer the legend over fact. World does need legends, modern history has a lack of them outside movie stars and sports legends anymore.
The greastest frighter piolet ever. 80 kills in different planes says alot about him. no one will ever come close to him. Even allies has repect for him.
It is still debated.....either a Canadian Pilot Shot him down...or an American Gunner on the ground shot him (an bullet injury to his heart suggests this now)
But either way..when his body was recovered (by the Americans) It was buried with full honers despite him being the enemy.....
That does not happen anymore....RIP Red Baron may you soar in eternity.
As you see his death had nothing to do with the Americans.
he was chasing a Sopwith Cammel of the Cannadian Air force when in the last stages of the pursit he was hit by by a .303 7.7x56mm round which was only used by British and comanwelth troops which went through the lung heart and loged in he back.
but he did not slam into the ground he landed it sloppy but he landed none the less..
@thebritish25 The .303 bullet that killed him was found inside his flying coat but was 'lost' soon after the autopsy, it would have shown that it came from a ground based Vickers MG, different rifleing.
@equarg he landed in a field controled by the Australian Imperial Force the first man to find him was George Ridgeway an Australian Gunner he was still alive but died soon after.
I wish they could have presserved his plane as it was not to badley damadged but it was taken apart by scavangers.
Im sorry I just did not want to correct that as his death and burial was to do with Australian force Cannadian Air Forces and the British High Command nothing to do with the American as they ..
Thank you for the polite correction (no really usually people just swear) I know where was some initial debate about who shot him (ground or air) and that he did land his plane before he died from his mortal wounds. He was "one hell of a pilot". He was also an honorable soldier.
People just thinking of him as a pizza logo is just wrong though. I'm off the brush up on my Great War ( WW1) history now.
Yea...us USA some times take to much cred for things...But....
I think the US has some great troopers to the USMC in the pacific of world war two some of the worst fighting Tarawa Pelilu Iwo Jima Okniwa Solomons Gudalcanal.
Actually my Grandpa (on dads side) was in West Point when Pearl Harbor was bombed and served in the Pacific in the war. Met McAuthor and Retired a Brigadier General. Lost hearing in one ear due to a bomb landing next to him. When passed away He was buried next to the chapel there.
Interestingly enough he was never bitter to the Japanese and developed a bit of a respect for them in battle. Hearing his stories was amazing. (could not get Japanese roommates to talk about war though)
Wonderful ! OR Will it not be 'Wunderbar' ? High time a proper tribute to the greatest of the Pilots was given. Thanks for the video.. and yes there are many in India who would love to see this Movie .. It will be as popular and famous as the 'Blue Max' -- are the CDs' or the Tape available in India ?
"Flyboys" was a typical Hollywood hack job, even with some great flying scenes. This movie is "honest". Das Boot set the standard for WWII naval movies, and I would have to say "The Red Baron" sets the standard for a WWI flying movie. Although - I would have preferred that the movie be filmed in German, with English subtitles. I can't wait for the German version of "The Desert Fox".
@madcapromanian Actualy the Canadian Pilot wasnt the one that shoot him instead was comom foot soldiers in ground altough Captain Brown was percuting him. I think this movie is still hoolywood tough the fictional love story the actors the english language instead of german realy the actor that play the red baron had little in comom with real one his portrayal is fictional aswell the plot isnt realy good but visuals are amazing!
@tresckow Then they should make the movie in German! Only because the Americans are to lazy to read subtitles or to make good quality dubbing it doesn't mean that German culture (moviemaking is part of this) has to chum up with them and give up the own beautiful language . I know there are economical reasons, but I still disagree with such developments. English is useful for example to communicate here on youtube - but thats all.
the movie is available in german. and i am german. and i just found the complaint funny about the alleged british accent as it is clearly a german one. by the way the movie is pretty bad storywise.
@zialer1 Edit: 80 Confirmed air combat victories.... the fokker Triplane was made by a Belgium, not Conadian. Richtofen's favorite plane was the Albatross DIII which was the first plane he pointed all Red, later used the DVI and the Fokker Dr1 Triplane he used rarely, he wasn't a good dogfighter, but a good opertonist and an excellent shot.
This is a fine movie. I rate it above Flyboys. And, having said that, I liked "Flyboys." See it if you can. The DVD will be out for purchase on June 1, 2010.
well. its pretty much understood that it was the australians who shot him down. the bullet that killed him pierced from the right hand side and exited a few inches higher than the entry wound. there were no planes shooting at him from the right hand side, only aussie troops on the ground.
@sgtbobboul read the proper reports please. they first gave credit to the canadians because morale was down in the air force. after 3 medical examinations they pretty much concluded it was the aussies. trajectory of the bullet showed that the bullet was shot from the ground and right side of the plane. again, there were NO canadian planes shooting from the right side (confirmed by reports from both canadian pilots)
look up the medical reports and pilot debriefing. it aint exactly a secret.
That nurse Looked like a whore!

My only beef with this film is the part in the movie he tells his pilots; "we're here to down planes, not kill men. We're pilots not butchers" but there is a direct quote from The Baron (from real life) where he said "if you shoot at a plane, kill the pilot. If its a two seater, shoot the observer first"
Ralroost 1 year ago
@Ralroost Totally correct. I reacted to that scene as well. Guess real life quotations and facts are sometimes a little bit too gruesome for the modern movies where people wouldn´t quite be able to elevate the object of their awe to hero status if they started thinking about what war is really about. Just my two cents though...

@echobuff Germans werent the only ones that treat harshly Jews... But yes thats true many jews serve German British French Russian and other armies is quite bad that they were treated badly by the countries they adopt most German Jews and most European Jews just wanted to fit in contrary to popular belief that jews were Zionists Jews just became Zionists after WWII before Zionism was minority movement in Judaism
ImperialGuard9001 1 year ago
@ImperialGuard9001 I believe there were rogue Jews or Zionist that were in league with the Illuminati that took over Russia after the Czar was murdered and Lenin put in power. Ironically Lenin married a Jew, but communism started in America financed by a Jew with last name Lode. One of the early Rockefellers headed the communist commune in Az back in 30's at an annual salary of $75k which was a small fortune in those days. If you read Grapes of Wrath the communes are described in that story

I think that was speculative about the ground trooper shooting down the Baron since the bullet came through the floor plus the bullet was same caliper as used by guns on the planes and ground troop's rifles. I'm inclined to agree with you but I don't think they ever proved for certain where the shot came from.
LkOutMtnMan 1 year ago
@LkOutMtnMan Is true modern historians agreed that shoot that killed him was from ground now from who is hard to say but was defintly the comom austrlian soldier that shooted the Aristocrat Baron and not one of his "Aristocrat" Pilot counterpart like Captain Brown. Brown shoot several times to Red Baron plane and miss to kill him was impossible shoots to hit the Baron on contary the ground shoots could and in fact hit him

MsDetroitMan117 1 year ago
Keep in mind that this war was the first use of aircraft to wage war and it offered those young men the only opportunity they would ever have to fly! I don't think most of them could envision the reality of killing and carnage they would see. The lure of glory, adventure and fame, I think outweighed the fear of death. I think Fly Boys brought out the risk of just learning to fly a plane where the motors turned around the crankshaft ! The first biplanes didn't have carburetors!

Boelcke1916 1 year ago
I haven't seen the movie as yet and looks pretty good though it will probably leave out a couple of inconvenient truths. 1st - The romance with the nurse was perhaps just a German propaganda fabrication. 2nd - Recent projectile forensics strongly indicate Australian Infantry machine gunners killed the Red Baron, not the Canadian pilot. I suppose we will never really know for sure.
The bravery and honour of the Red Baron, his comrades and those he fought against deserve eternal remembrance.

Oh how I regret how this movie was made as it had so much potential. But they completely screwed it up. I am 99.9% sure that Richthofen never said anything close to what he says in the beginning of this trailer. In fact if I remember well he said the best way to shoot a plane down was to hit the pilot or something similar to this. It was war, Richthofen was perfectly conscious that this meant killing and that's what he did - like so many others.

@13Filmrisse The best way to shoot a plane down is to shoot the pilot in the back of his head.
Numelu 1 year ago
@13Filmrisse personally I find the film being more based off the legend of the Red Daron not really the historical Red Baron being a rare case in which I'd actually prefer the legend over fact. World does need legends, modern history has a lack of them outside movie stars and sports legends anymore.
Luminahawke 1 year ago
This film is more of a human story than an "action" film. Many have complained of it being boring or hard to follow. I find it powerful and engaging.
Most movies focus on WW2. Many people think of it before WW1. Yet WW1 claimed more lives. Poison Gas (Mustard Gas) was never used in WW2.

It is still debated.....either a Canadian Pilot Shot him down...or an American Gunner on the ground shot him (an bullet injury to his heart suggests this now)
But either way..when his body was recovered (by the Americans) It was buried with full honers despite him being the enemy.....
That does not happen anymore....RIP Red Baron may you soar in eternity.
equarg 1 year ago
@equarg you are mostley right and partley wrong.
As you see his death had nothing to do with the Americans.
he was chasing a Sopwith Cammel of the Cannadian Air force when in the last stages of the pursit he was hit by by a .303 7.7x56mm round which was only used by British and comanwelth troops which went through the lung heart and loged in he back.
but he did not slam into the ground he landed it sloppy but he landed none the less..
thebritish25 1 year ago
@thebritish25 The .303 bullet that killed him was found inside his flying coat but was 'lost' soon after the autopsy, it would have shown that it came from a ground based Vickers MG, different rifleing.

@equarg he landed in a field controled by the Australian Imperial Force the first man to find him was George Ridgeway an Australian Gunner he was still alive but died soon after.
I wish they could have presserved his plane as it was not to badley damadged but it was taken apart by scavangers.
Im sorry I just did not want to correct that as his death and burial was to do with Australian force Cannadian Air Forces and the British High Command nothing to do with the American as they ..

Thank you for the polite correction (no really usually people just swear) I know where was some initial debate about who shot him (ground or air) and that he did land his plane before he died from his mortal wounds. He was "one hell of a pilot". He was also an honorable soldier.
People just thinking of him as a pizza logo is just wrong though. I'm off the brush up on my Great War ( WW1) history now.
Yea...us USA some times take to much cred for things...But....

In my opinion the Great war was won by Britian and the Comanwelth and France while the 2nd world war in Europe was won by Russia and In Asia the USA.
but then I think that if eather Britian USSR China fell then so whould the other allies in the 2nd world war.

Actually my Grandpa (on dads side) was in West Point when Pearl Harbor was bombed and served in the Pacific in the war. Met McAuthor and Retired a Brigadier General. Lost hearing in one ear due to a bomb landing next to him. When passed away He was buried next to the chapel there.
Interestingly enough he was never bitter to the Japanese and developed a bit of a respect for them in battle. Hearing his stories was amazing. (could not get Japanese roommates to talk about war though)

"Flyboys" was a typical Hollywood hack job, even with some great flying scenes. This movie is "honest". Das Boot set the standard for WWII naval movies, and I would have to say "The Red Baron" sets the standard for a WWI flying movie. Although - I would have preferred that the movie be filmed in German, with English subtitles. I can't wait for the German version of "The Desert Fox".

@tresckow Then they should make the movie in German! Only because the Americans are to lazy to read subtitles or to make good quality dubbing it doesn't mean that German culture (moviemaking is part of this) has to chum up with them and give up the own beautiful language . I know there are economical reasons, but I still disagree with such developments. English is useful for example to communicate here on youtube - but thats all.

look up the medical reports and pilot debriefing. it aint exactly a secret.
