  • good to know hundreds of horses were killed making this film

  • @steeltwistercoaster two hundred

  • Makes me proud to have British lineage (I'm American)

  • truly awesome song to go with an awesome film, goosebumps down me spine at part where he sweeps up our national flag and continues to charge, truly memorable, rule brittania!!

  • We killed 700 of there men at point blank range yet they still carried on this shows the messure of the British resolve.

  • Hey, he didn't make the movie.

  • jha pretty crazy with mothers wee !!!!!!!!!

  • DOWN WITH THE FED!

  • The moment when the fallen flag carrier won't let the Union Jack touch the floor gave me goosebumps.

  • That was wicked cool

  • Tovarich917, I don't give a flying rat's ass what the haters are saying about this clip!! I enjoy the shit out of it, and think you did one hell of a freakin' job!!! EXCELLENT!!!!! Thanks for your hard work and you chose the perfect song, the perfect movie and the PERFECT scene!!!! Thanks for posting!!

  • WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • dude its British the union jack is in the background at 1:22

  • yeah man I love that part to he didn't let the flag touch the ground respect

  • I would have loved to have been in that charge. And when that fallen soldier passed on the flag , FUCK!, that shit gave me chills. NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

  • tHE FILM WAS BASED ON POLISH  LIGHT BRIAGDE THAT WERE THE BEST CAVALPRY IN THE WORLD THEY EVEN SURPASSED THE RUSSIAN kOSSACKS. THE BRITISH BRIGADE FLED LIKE RABBITS WHEN THEY COFRONTED POLISH CAVALRY .LIKE THE SPANISH DID WHEN POLISH CAVALRY WENT THROUGH THERE BATTERIES WITH ONLY A FEW CAVALRY MEN DURING NAPOLEON WAR ( SOMOSIERRA) AND OTHER BATTLES.

  • @gajefska1 ALL CAPS IS SO POWERFUL LIKE POLISH SAUSAGES.

  • @gajefska1 no this is about the charge of the light brigade performed by us the british.

  • @gajefska1 There was no Polish at the Battle Of Balaclava Major Fail Dumbass

  • @gajefska1 there was no Polish in the Crimean War...

  • Ye okay the did make a law for the fair treatment of animals.... But see if you look closely every horse does exactly the same roll and then gets up... But the camera moves so fast that you can't really see it.... I wonder how you train a horse to somersault lmao

  • whats the movie? looks Epic!!

    and also good call with the music choice

  • @lankyman0990 Well, I believe its the 1936 version of the Charge of the Light Brigade. And the music fits perfectly because it was based on this event in history.

  • Cardigan was fool. Taking a battalion down a causeway with over 50 artillery pieces above their heads. This charge was not bravery but egomania boarding on suicidal intentions. Unfortunately it was the rank and file of the Lancers and Dragoons that paid for it. Not much has changed since 1854 except we no longer charge artillery on horseback. Last time that happened in modern warfare was 1939.

  • @br8kawy wasnt it ralgans fault. He gave the orders, most bad ass piece of history ever

  • @br8kawy Cardigan was ordered by his superior officer, Lord Lucan, who, in turn was ordered by his superior, Lord Raglan (misinterpreted as it was) I forget who but either Lucan or Cardigan said "they are sacrificing the light brigade" and even questioned the orders...But, to quote Colonel Nathan R. Jessop, "we follow orders or people die, its that simple"...I blame Jessop

  • Dude i want his bugel it plays mad guitar riffs and sings!!!

  • 2:07-2:10 Keep the flag standing

  • Cannon to right of them,

    Cannon to left of them,

    Cannon in front of them Volley'd and thunder'd;

    Storm'd at with shot and shell,

    Boldly they rode and well,

    Into the jaws of Death,

    Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred.

  • The Ethiopians topped this by far when they charged Italian machine gunners with a large bayonette infantry in the war of 1936 and got all of them massacred.

  • @antiglobe massacred the infantry or they all died? what was the charge called?

  • @3tangle3 The Ethiopians all died afaik. They charged with the religious assurance that even if they die they will get to some special paradise or something. I don't know how the charge is called.

  • Thumbs up if seeing the Union flag made you feel funny in side and proud to be British ?

    

  • @FIREFLY7676 I'm not British but felt funny inside too. Is that wrong? hehe

  • @CageJackOlson its was the english aristocracy getting involved in random battles in the Crimea, Russia...while the charge was very brave...the generals in the day wasted peoples lives far too easily ( I know the charge was not ordered though ;) )

  • Has anyone else noticed that the Union Flag is upside down?

  • @Skyswinger

    I googled the flag, and it is most certainly NOT upside down.. cheers from Oslo

  • @dahvisibleinvisible Hi there. Sorry i should have been more precise. I urge you to pause at 2:11, this is the correct way of flying the Union Flag. Now skip to the ending scene, this flag is upside down. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for checking it out.

  • @Skyswinger

    Hmm... isn't that only because you're seeing it from the other side? if you imagine seeing it from the other side as in 2:11 it should be correct... but nice observation anyway

  • @dahvisibleinvisible No Sebastian. Regardless of which side you view the Union Flag from it shall have the broad white diagonal band above the red diagonal band on the hoist side and the narrow white above red on the fly side. 2:07 incorrect, 2:11 correct. Flying it upside down is against flag etiquette and is a direct insult to the Queen.....the french often do this. Hope I explained it better this time.

  • @Skyswinger

    lol i rewatched this so many times and just now i see. haha! you got your eyes peeled.

  • @dahvisibleinvisible Yes, you would expect that someone on the film set would also have their eyes peeled. I cant help but wonder if this was a deliberate act. Anyway, cheers and salutes to Norway.

  • wow they would have had to known it was suicide from the start

  • @zztoprules1 Yup. But not one of them flinched. That's why it's so fucking epic.

  • FART.

  • 200 dead horses and only 64,000 views? lol

  • Thanks Youtube, for this piece of condensed epicness. (Y)

  • Well that Americans would do it ten years later with ten times as many men on many occasions. Picketts Charge and Chancellorsville anyone?

  • @ih8makinusernames But the amazing thing is that the surviving British of that charge, only 200 in number from the original 600, all battered, wounded and bloody asked their officers if they wished them to charge again.

    That's grit and determination for you.

  • studip question.. pls answer

    How did they get the horse to fall like that ?

    Did they like dig a hole in the ground or what ? x)

    Maybe a stupid question, but couldnt figure it out ! :)

    GREAT song btw ! up the irons.

  • holy shiz the brits were bada**

  • What a dumbass commander gave such a crap order...

    Though he is surpassed a lot by Hitler when ordered his army to stay in the encircled Stalingrad...

  • @antiglobe yeah seriously. Apparantly the Russians thought the British were Drunk or somehting when they chraged as they never thought they would be so stupid.

  • @ih8makinusernames It had nothing to do with that. It was a misscommunication.

    The order was for a steady advance to be taken down a valley to re-capture British guns from the Russians. However, the order was misunderstood by the officer at that time and they ended up charging the Russians down a different valley where they were shot at from three different locations on high ground.

  • thats real bravery and courage

  • suchs great determinations, bravery and heroism, brings a tear to my eyes

  • 8 faggots....

  • Where were the heavy's?! Where were the Heavy's?!!!! "By God, I'll not see them lost too" ???? You were the divisional commander you twat! As you see fit!!! fucking Lucan. A damn pox on you!

  • That movie was WILDLY historically innacurate. But it does make for good film to put to this music.

  • Kings an queens and their family is today only symbol of that country. Real power is the prime ministers.Why, then, to maintain the royal family?It is not fair that one family/acenstry is always going to live luxuriously. Out of the kings if they do not have a full power! Not a luxury for only one family! Death to king!

  • That galloping bass line really gives me chills.

  • Sweet!!

  • Awesome! Is that a clip from a movie?

  • This song started it all for me, The first matel song i heard. It sounds as good today then it did back in 1984. One of if not the best groups every

  • i iknew it was going to end with the british flag up

  • @shauncook71 which is a good thing ;)

  • All Hail Britiania!

  • Stop the brittish empire!

  • @Softaaja234 you can't stop the British Empire

  • Krim war

  • Tennyson would be proud. :D

  • I know animals where probaly harmed during this scene but this Is steel epic

  • I wonder how many horses and people died in order to make this footage!?

    At least it was amazing :D and perfect with the song.

  • Shocking animal mistreatment but spectacular footage

    Now the horsemen seem to advance in very poor order

    I'm sure the real charge was a lot more controlled

  • Any army with the guts to charge an artillery position carrying lances and swords on horseback gets my respect simply for trying.

  • Awesome song and great video. Almost like the actual video from Maiden. I like this one because it shows more footage from the movie. One of Errol Flynn's best and also one of the best from Hollywood's golden age. Thank you, great job!

  • @lafde44 I don't like this video, because of the fact that over 200 horses were killed during the making of this movie, you can see them getting killed, lieing in pain and dead horses on the ground. This was the film that brought protection for animals in films, after uproar over the animals deaths. The tune is good and I do Like Errol Flyn, the movie is actually good its just thee fact that the animals were treated badley and killed :(

  • @rhythm2007mc i agree 100%. the movie was good, but the mistreatment of all those horses put a bad taste in my mouth.

  • @joflo65 Atleast it started the rihts for animals in the movie indistry, caused an uproar wich made the usa pass a bill for the fair treatment of animals, and if I remember riht, this was before they done the same with humans in the film indestry, that came a few years later when they had to stock actually hitting each other and using stunts and props instead od real chairs and bottles etc.

  • The light brigade, actually charged on russian soldiers and were caught in a crossfire due to misinterpreted orders.

  • @MonarchistPipeBrit i thought the general just sent his 600 men into a battle which they could not win, just to show their obedience and bravory to the french generals, or is that another battle?

  • @LangeE612 No, the general ordered them to charge one russian cannon that was pinning them, but the orders were misinterpreted and they charged into a crossfire of russian cannons

  • VOTE BNP,MAKE BRITAIN BRITISH AGAIN OR WATCH IT BECOME AN ISLAMIC REPUBLIC,

    ITS NOT JOKE ANYMORE

  • @VigisKane wow, really? you right wing cunt. people like should just go off and die.

  • Britain actually sucks

  • british accent on girls are so fucking hot(;

  • good video

  • This song rules with the video! good job! :)

  • at 3:36 the (dead) guy on the bottom right suddenly revives to cover his head

  • one thing metal can do that rap can't

    metal tells history like this

    i never knew about this battle in history class but when our teacher showed us this same video everyone knew

    hell on free days all wanted to see this video again

  • @BNNetwork History is one of my favorite subjects.

  • Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war. No Surrender

  • 1 actor and over 600 horses died in the making of this movie.

    Maiden worthy amirite?

  • Remember the Light Brigade!

  • @Alembic905

    The bravery and determination of the British soldier...

    My motto: "The British are coming motherfuckers!"

  • The British are coming MOTHERFUCKERS!

  • this is great video! =D

  • Thats pretty damn cruel. Looks like tripwires

  • 3:43 he`s not a russian lol

    looks like the ottoman or something.

    Epic video anyways.

  • awesome vid

  • charge heavy guns with a stick WTF.

  • The greatest moment in cinema history goes to.. 2:08

  • definitely

  • he died happy then

  • 2:06 - 2:12 Amazing

  • idem

  • 3:52-He harpooned his ass with a flagpole!

  • 2:22

  • The charge of the light brigade (british cavalry) against russian artillery was an actual battle in the crimean war in 1854

  • I also read that in real life the French had run out of ammunition and decided to charge instead of retreat...

    I'm pretty sure this is based off of a war called the Red War or something like that because of all the blood that was spilled and because it was against Russia...idk I just read it...I'm not positive...

    isn't it?

    someone help me out here

    hahaha

  • It was the Crimean war where russia fought the Ottman empire, the British, and the French, in an attempt to expand russia and control of a warm water port.

  • this video literally gives me chills...it's so fucking epic

  • Lol, at 2:55, one of the Russians fired toward the sky.

  • Iron maiden is the best!!!

  • I am thinking about showing this to the staff each day on wide screen. Then tell them to thank God they are sitting in climate controlled rooms chatting on the phone and pecking at the compooter!

  • AMAZING video, thanks man!!! I wonder why Maiden didnt use this back in the day, Aces High and Run to The Hills used similar footage.

  • Now that was real stuntman shit, not none of this hollywood crap .

  • The film IS Hollywood - made by Warner Bros, you ignorant twat.

  • HaHaHa get a life mate.

  • Endless wars,Abusive powers,Decline living standards,Lack proper healthcare,Loosing jobs- no sense of security..etc.American dream got in the corporate-WHITEHOUSEWHORES's jaws & the military helped.Whats in it for a U.S. citizen to have trillions of debt?Or to project power across the globe?yet the military enjoys tearing down communities,civilizations bringing genocide- choas.You will be Despized..you are not defeanding anyone exept your paychecks..enjoy resistance..From Iraq..El Toro.

  • Up the Irons!

  • Wikipedia ~ The brigade (673 at the start of the charge) was not completely destroyed, but did suffer terribly, with 118 men killed, 127 wounded. After regrouping, only 195 men were still with horses. The futility of the action and its reckless bravery prompted the French Marshal Pierre Bosquet to state "C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre." ("It is magnificent, but it is not war.") He continued, in a rarely quoted phrase: "C'est de la folie"- (it is madness)

  • Those are real horses falling over. If they tried to make this today PETA would have a seizure. Oh, for the good old days...

  • Today they'd remake it with CGI, and it would look crap

  • Amen to that.

  • BRITANNIA IMPERAT

  • the part were the guy is shot and still kills thee dude is some awesome kick - bad - ass shit

  • I agree, that part where he picks up the flag was pretty badass.

    Good cinematography for 1936.

  • LONG LIVE THE LIGHT BRIGADE!

  • really fits the song

  • The entire scene actually fits the song better than the editing in the original video.

  • The part where the dude grabbed the flag off the ground......it was just so...so.....aw screw it that kicked ass!!!

  • Miss Winnie Churchilli,

    This faggot thinks humans are meat puppets for the powerful.

    I think he takes a meat puppet up the ass.

  • I love it when the Union Jack gets picked up.

  • Cheers to our brothers from Britain for creating some of the best music ever on the planet Earth!

  • dude, this was fucking sick.

    nice job!

  • Charge of the Light Brigade, a perfect example of the British squaddies sheer grit and determination to get the job done, whilst also showing the sheer incompetance of the officers that lead them.

  • yup. Lions led by Donkeys.

  • 19th century and still in war with the islamic countries... i don't think there will be ever peace (okey okey since days of when two churches began)

  • In reality the British were allied with the Turks in this war. We had some (crap) Turkish divisions under our command, who fled. We were at war with the Russian Empire.

  • Glorious at  2.07!

  • LONG LIVE IRON MAIDEN! BEST BAND EVER!

  • @zombie0mechanic your the fucking plague you racist cunt. don't be so prejudice just because some Muslims want sharia law in Britain doesn't mean you can discriminate against of Muslims and not all Muslims are niggers.

  • @zombie0mechanic

    ..now how come these kind muslims media dont write about or is it that on pur

    So the terroist dont really represent islam so dont it owe to your self to ignore them just as you look for him talking about islam only Who are you to judge he is only a muslim name ?Is pope christian inheart do you know ?? ridiculous you want A without B when one thing goes with its associated liabilty It might not have b mettered in different world and different time..Biggot Hypocrite Racist 1

  • Outstanding video!

  • I agree

  • I agree with you is some respects but i dont think we have to kill and throw out every muslim. just the ones who are convicted of terror attacks. Also i think that all immigrants within the last 10 years should be tagged so we can keep an eye on them.

  • nice

    Lloyd.

  • The Charge of the Light Brigade!The bugle sounds the charge begins....

    We will defend our countries no matter what the cost radical Islam!

  • We will also be keeping an eye on russia as well.
