Crimson Tide Speech

[cgka2011]

GO BAMA! ROLL TIDE

[Sayper1]

the soundtrack is just extraordinary, it takes this scene to whole new level. Great.

[smokespotter]

Hoooahhhh!!



[KappaMummy]

OUTSTANDING

[rollertide09]

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

[recoverfromhydro]

Great scene,great movie. Love Gene Hackman in anything.

[larzinator1988]

You have the smallest dick in the entire world dont you mr cobb!!??

IN THE ENTIRE WORLD SIR!!!

[patriot0048]

@DarthJaxson I understand your comment and appreciate it as it was a team effort but most countries who we have helped through the years dating back to WW2 just seem to crap on us. Take care.

[BringBakRok]

There's always trouble in Russia. The only place where there is more trouble is Mexico

[Mindraker1]

@BringBakRok I dunno dude, Africa doesn't look too hot right now.

[boso54]

go bama!!!! roll tide!!! love it!!!

[2Sumner4]

Roll Tide!!

[pattadon]

OUT-Standing sir!!!

[rm04ever]

No Need for the Speech just play the music in the background for soldiers and they will get it

[hint0122]

GO BAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[americannightmare12]

Go, Bama! Roll Tide!

[Freedom87eagle]

Very motivational speech and powerfull music simply great.

[thefunkygoat25]

i think its hans zimmer that makes this speech so good.

[Sconz32]

The funny thing is this scene is an obvious parody of patriotic bullshit speeches through the years. And people think it's great.

[bigjames88]

@Sconz32 Most military speeches made by their personnel arent very flashy in real life, so I dont think this was a parody as much as it was just realistic in a way a CO would address his men and pump them up somehow.

[nando15]

@Sconz32 LOL 

[Coruscant98]

Americans should spend less on military and more salvaging what's left of their economy

[AmericanPride42]

@Coruscant98

Funny you should say that. With Obama the US isn't spending much on the military and he isn't working to fix the economy. Only crash it.

[dg19]

Discipline, obedience and sacrifice. These are the main ingredients for the perfect soldier.

[TheAnitamus]

@dg19

I beg to differ. SELF-discipline, sacrifice and independent thought are the ingredients for a warrior. Blind obedience not knowin even WTF you are doing and where makes a soldier about 10 times less efficient. And the Russians

found it the hard way.

[dg19]

@TheAnitamus mmm... I'm not so sure... indipendent thoughts can mine discipline and obedience... and can reduce efficency in combat...

However I've found yesterday a beautiful documentary on YT:

"Sun Tzu's The Art Of War"

It's very interesting ;)

[Joonavainio]

@dg19

Firstly, my apologies to my better half as we say. As we use a shared computer, I sometimes accidentally comment on her login.

Secondly... well, it is a double edged sword. My wiev is that in military there is need for discipline, but the soldier has to respect his or her superior. And respect is not gained through mindless hazing.

I've read the book, thanks. Also Musashi's Five Rings.

[dg19]

@Joonavainio I agree. I never heard about Musashi's Five Rings, thanks for the tip :)

[Joonavainio]

@dg19

My pleasure. You might wanna see the wiki first. Although wiki is far from a reliable source, the article on The Book of Five Rings is pretty comprehensive. And it has links to the full text online. The funny thing about it is that many business leaders use it as a guide as well, and in any case it is interesting reading.

[elgostine]

@TheAnitamus and one of the finist regiments in the british army, the greenjackets of the 95th rifles epitomised those traits.

[Nelsonwmj]

"GO BAMA!!!"

"ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!"

Damn you gotta love Gene Hackman for that masterful movie performance.

[AlabamaSoldier]

The way the music wraps around the words and the way the words are delivered, makes from "In the greatest country..." to "Alabama, Sir" the greatest part of the movie.

It's 100% kick-ass.

[EdwardJohn76]

No wonder why America is the military superpower in this world! Cheers to all American war heroes of Iraq and Afganistan. Tribute to the living and also to the Fallen! God Bless America!

[StLucifer85]

your a retard :)

[EdwardJohn76]

God Bless You.

[dobebs]

GOBAMA!!! Sounds like GO OBAMA!!! hahaha... lol

[deltapunk21]

@dobebs

How dare you fucking put obama's Godless name in the same sentence as the BAMA CRIMSON TIDE I ought to shoot you for that.

[ojideagu]

@deltapunk21 Who the fuck cares about god you bible belt red neck

[NYYdynasty3457]

love this speech one of the best ever!

[Hemlock54]

If this doesn't make you want to walk through hell in a gasoline tuxedo, nothing will. Period.

[PrepUS214]

GOBAMA GOBAMA

[morbidchid]

Moar liek OBAMA OBAMA HEALTH CARE SOCIALIST GOBAMA

[PrepUS214]

have you heard of the University of AlaBAMA...their name is the Crimson Tide..which this movie is named after..a few days ago..they just one the BCS championship

- now on regards to obama...stfu no one cares about iceland or your fucked up economy

[morbidchid]

Someone can't take a joke.

And someone hold such a huge grudge that he has to go to my profile just to be a douche in his reply.

Sorry you were born without a funny bone, dick.

[deltapunk21]

@morbidchid

He said Bama not Obama which knowing hollyweird they iwll remake this movie and turn it into that

[morbidchid]

hahaha

[EyeHateChoo]

GO BAMA! ROLL TIDE!

[burjazz]

Go USA,Go Bama !!!

[rico3780]

Mr Cobb makes this the best movie speech ever! OUT-standing Sir!!

[ojideagu]

@rico3780 He looks like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man

[CplJohns117]

@rico3780 Just to let you know, it's Mr. C.o.B! It stands for Chief of the Boat! Similar to an Ai Force's Warrant officer or the army's Sergant Major!

[fr8542]

@rico3780 I believe it's ain't "Mr Cobb" but COB, Chief of the Boat.

[perfectshottwo]

2.04 on wards is great

[powellvd]

one of the greatest titles and movies of all time

[callofdutyguy9]

the Los Angeles class is such a Majestic boat

[tolwyn9999]

Except this is an Ohio Class SSBN.

[Randseed2]

Cob is such a bad ass.

[atomicsmat1234]

Lipizans aren t from Spain or Portugal,but they are from Slovenija...Capitan doesn t know much abouth horses..

[rexall18v]

" I expect and DEMAND, your VERY BEST, ANYTHING less . . .You should of joined the air force!" . . . lol classic, damn right!

[ArtoriusGothicus]

you should "have" joined the air force;)

[ArtoriusGothicus]

This kind of speech and theater-like appearence happens only in movies

[marknpeyton]

Colonel Tim Collins CO of the Irish Guards Battlegroup made an excellent speech to his soldiers on the eve of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. It lacked the theater and drama of this speech but it had the same power and gravitas, add a soundtrack and it would get pretty close.

[aow4321]

its "Go bama, roll tide"

Don't mean to nit pick but just helping you out =)

[triunp]

...said, "go Obama"!, lol

[aow4321]

Wow...you are brainwashed...

[triunp]

nah...I' not even American....and I don't give a....'bout politics either, peace.

[thedudema81]

One of my favorite movies of ALLL time!

[TangomanX2008]

for an ethics class final exam we had to analyze the choices of each of those guys (whether to launch or resurface for the orders).

[Credithelper75]

Boy thats one duty I'd never do..submariner...I admire the hell outa those guys!

[mds615]

its the greatest state in the greatest country in the world, ROLL TIDE ROLL!

[legendrysnake]

frontline and the last line of defense...

[worriesovernothing]

*s*

[Euroman25]

There is always trouble in Russia!

[montecarlo0]

Hackman-Washington are super in this video, Watch Gene walk around the corner in the rain with his pooch in tow,talk shit to his men, climb the steps talk more shit, then take command of the most leathal killing machine ever devise. AWSOME. I`LL comment on Denzel later.

[Ilissill]

Pleaes clone Gene Hackman and get him in some modern day movies. What a legend ... a shame he retired.

C.T = best warmovie of all time.

[Sneakerpimp79]

Excellent vid, but the best speech is at dinner when denzel says the line of lines, "in the nuclear age the true enemy is war itself". zimmers music is fukn class btw.

[djl5555]

Great scene! Thanks for posting it

[theit57]

the CMC aka the Chief of the boat has a gold chinstrap :/ only Officers get a gold chinstrap. his should be black :) GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

[Ilissill]

I think he is a warrant officer who is also chief of the boat.

[theit57]

yeah but a warrant officer is as stated, an officer. a chief is an enlisted person. and therefore a warrant officer cannot also be chief of the boat. but oh well its hollywood. so.......

[whh01]

You're right. That's the first time I noticed that. He's a Master Chief, not a Warrant Officer.

[klaritakiss87]

best speech ever, but america is wrong

[TemplarReturns]

This country is not perfect but neither is yours. But we are the greatest!

[JinrohDFLL]

but one thing is true tho. this is indeed the greatest country in the entire world. amen.

[aussieeagle2512]

My country Australia is the greatest country in the entire world. You could then claim due to your political/military clout yours actually is, then I could say mine because of our sporting prowess especially considering our small population. Our military too on a per capita basis could be considered maybe the best. 22 million and we are the most powerful country in Oceania and probably among the top 20 in the world.

[wanrazul]

Considering that Oceania is made up of peepsqueak island nations like Tonga..i wouldn't be so proud...

[aussieeagle2512]

It doesn't matter....no great power is all strengths. I could say that the US is fast running out of friends, potential rivals keep emerging and their economy is riding on debt due to excessive consumption per capita. We have this problem in Australia also but 22 million is a lot less people to feed than 307 million even taking into account your far greater arable land etc. Your arrogance, personal greed (which was a founding right in your nation) is going to be your downfall.

[wanrazul]

Nope, it is the key to our future greatness. Enemies exist to make you stronger, to push you. Plus the whole world is at our mercy, darest anyone defy our regal rule?

[binnyman]

And this from a descendant of criminals banished from another land..........you would be wise to be less judgemental, lest you fall under the spell of the same demons.

[binnyman]

Our arrogance??? I seem to remember the USA saving you from becoming a part of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and worshipping the Rising Sun !!!  Bold and unwise talk coming from a descendant of criminals banished from another nation...........take care , lest ye become disciples of the same demons !!! Friends??? The USA has no friends, except ones who want what we have !!!

[aussieeagle2512]

In fact sound research has shown that the Japanese never intended to launch a invasion of Australia. Logic concurs with this, in all honesty for how much trouble it would of been it wasen't worth it. Also the US no doubt had their own motivations for being in Australia and I doubt saving it was a big part of them, no self-respecting country would simply commit such vast resources for such a sentimental purpose, some kind of politics would of been involved.

[binnyman]

Yes, there were politics. Our/your friends, the British, wanted to make certain THEY had a freindly port-of-call because they had been thrown out of every country in the Far East !! We only wanted your beer. Even Down under, it seems, youth is wasted on the young.

[aussieeagle2512]

Well, as it turned out the British had no need to have such a satellite in Oceania anymore, you can trade nowdays with countries without having to rule them. Now may I ask what do you mean by "youth is wasted on the young"?

[patriot0048]

@binnyman Amen chief!! It seems every country that was rescued by the United States in WW2 from the axis powers have forgotten abut that. Go U.S.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!! Marine veteran.

[cles11]

@patriot0048 i would say it was the ussr that did the most to stop the third reich, considering they lost 50% of all casualties in ww2 and had about 75% of the german forces knocking on there doorstep and took berlin. ww2 was all but over by the time d-day was launched not to take anything away from the western allies contributions and massive supply and economic aid.

[njcrep]

From America to Australia.... We salute you!...

[aussieeagle2512]

*Australian returns salute*

[eiujmper24]

Gene Hackman is such a badass in this movie. I would vote for him over McCain and Obama. That guy would kick some ass and take names. Wouldn't find any left wing, birkenstock wearing, hemp necklace, tree hugging, sissy liberal policies in his administration.

[JinrohDFLL]

and to top that up -- nuclear holocaust.

[garyowen4ever]

roll BAMA.....ROLL YOUR TIDE OF WEALTH CLASS TAXES UP WALL STREET'S GOLD PLATED BAILED OUT ASSHOLE TILL IT GUSHES BLOOD!

[sweatstain2001]

Am I the only person who laughed out loud when they started passing out the high-powered assault weapons and the flak vests?

[rawdawg15]

There's trouble in Russia, what else is new

[lordofwrath88]

Does anyone else think Gene Hackman would make a great Bear Bryant should they ever make a movie about Joe Namath or the Bear himself? (he'd have to adjust his voice a little)

[XPiggy08]

Was that Mr. Cobb or Tim Brando A L A BAMA. RAMMAJAMMA

[callofdutyguy9]

"very aware sire, very proud sir, very fine people sir, outstanding sir, in the entire world sir, alabama sir, go bama GO BAMA!"

[callofdutyguy9]

"very aware sir, very proud sir, very fine people sir,

[thedudema81]

This is my all time favorite movie !!

[FullSurface101]

"In the Greatest country in the entire world. . .IN THE ENTIRE WORLD SIR."

Whatever you hear about america, don't pre-judge all of us. We're not all money hungry, sex infested, war bound assholes. G.W. is a dick and a bullshit president. America is a young country with brute force, we just have presidents who abuse their power and authority. G.W. needs to stay out of other countries affairs. We can't help ourselves at home but he wants to play bully and secure the world.

*Success&Failure*

[patio87]

Making these kind of posts makes you look weak, please move to France.

[VIKINGODIN]

We dont think your all like that,were all not ignorant like a few americans ive encountered,im not ignorant to think your all like that,so no worries and good statment there,not like patio87,hes older than you but still an ignorant 'BOY'

[Wraith23]

Fuck you vikingay

[VIKINGODIN]

yeah i bet u would love to,being as homosexuality is rife in south america

[bamafan0100]

I love it when they say "GO BAMA!! ROLL TIDE!!", gives me goosebumps when I hear it. I wish they would play it before kickoff or something of an Alabama game, that would be sweet. Roll Tide! The Crimson Tide is turning!

[mcdonnell761]

COB is the equilivant to a warrant officer or master chief. not an officer but traditionally the higher class of enlisted pers. they where often called Mr Cob or Mr Chief etc because it is tradition

[sbt8426]

What a great speech, one of the best I have heard being ex-Navy. Great movie and Hans Zimmer is the best...

[54spiritedwill54]

This has to be the greatest military movie I've ever seen.

[callofdutyguy9]

i gotta say that 2:50-3:14 my favorite part of the theme and video

[texsportpub]

Great speech. It gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.

[Binnen89]

I come from Germany and it´s a great country too, but Alabama seems to be outstanding...

GO BAMA, ROLL TIDE! ;) I like it.

best wishes from Germany!

[AddiJM]

It's great to be from Alabama!

Roll Tide Roll!!!!!!!!!!!

[Oobervice]

Hans Zimmer rocks.

[MondoBeno]

That Captain is a nut.

[lucapaliuca]

in the greatest country in the entire world!

[eyes4owl]

This says it all ...

"GO BAMA! ROLL TIDE!"

[tisoy909]

and what is that name mr Cobb? A L A B A M A !!!

[AarmOZ]

COB, not Cobb. It stands for Chief Of the Boat.

[tisoy909]

Ahhhhh thanks, didnt know that!

[Doozersb82]

yeah but his name in the movie was mr cobb....wasnt it ?? its been long time since I saw it but im pretty sure it was Mr Cobb

[KingCobra000]

He did sey Mr. Cobb

[granger3]

No. Trust me, the guy was the COB, sometimes even on real submarines they address him as Mr. COB. Where the movie is flawed is that the COB is the senior enlisted sailor on the boat and the COB in Crimson Tide wore an orange band around his hat, which only officers wear. Just some observations from an ex-Navy guy.

[KingCobra000]

Ok, I dont know that much abaut submarines but i like them

[Slippinginar]

COB=Chief Of the Boat

[TheCrew205]

roll tide

[Mindraker1]

Gotta love the dog.

[t3hwasabi]

This movie is awesome, Hans Zimmer is one of the best film music composers in the world.

[drummnstormchasnguy]

When I was in the Million Dollar Band this is how we dismissed practice every day.

Drum Major: "WHAT DO WE SAY IN ALABAMA?!?"

Band: "GO BAMA! ROLL TIDE!"

[KingCobra000]

whats the name of the song at the end of the video

[AbhilashGregory1985]

mutiny by hans zimmer

[AarmOZ]

Roll Tide - Hans Zimmerman

[storm61]

Hans Zimmer is a fucking genius.

[darkling9109]

What Hans Zimmer song is this?

[Paddy018]

It's called grammar with an "a"...

[JookieJenkins]

This has to be the greatest military movie I've ever seen.

[angrykoolaideman]

yoshi, i'm from alabama and i don't know one farmer. and my grammer, punctuation, and spelling are all better than yours. you must be from mississippi. roll tide!

[BigShug62]

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!

[yoshi432]

good speach but the name "alabama" ? god such a shity state full of dum red necks farmers

[Dalbert342]

I doubt a Ohio could sink a Akula..all I have too say.They dont call Akula underwater fighters because they are slow

[FacultyFan]

I dont, but thats not the point. Ohio class is what is known as a "boomer." Its meant to hide in the ocean and, when given the order, fire Trident missiles at its targets.

[GramCler]

Definitely one of Zimmers best scores an one of the best scenes in (thriller) movie history. To the greatest country in the entire world!

[nttb6403]

Make me wanna join the Navy and go for submariner.

Go ILLINOIS :)

[kyahdhin]

Definitely the greatest country in the world! :)

[kyahdhin]

one of the finest scenes in movie history! ( COB: Very Finest Sir!! ) lol

[ske7chfactor]

"In the greatest country in the entire world"

Awesome score. Awesome dialogue.

[fiveninerzero]

i love it!

[julielovestitanic]

GREAT MOVIE, AWESOME CLIP!

[tehue]

"Greatest Country in the entire world"

yeah, right...

[N9WJ7]

GREATEST BULLSHIT OF THER WORLD...

[felicix]

Go live in Eastern Europe for a bit. Go ahead. Make sure you have your return ticket before you leave, because you'll come back within a month. Proof, you ask... I don't know 1 american citizen emigrating to Moscow, but I know of at least 1-2million Russians that have moved here. And that's only in the state of Oregon.

[soprisrb]

Amen brother.

[Birdieupon]

Magnificent score and incredible acting!
