HORNBLOWER The even chance Part5

[cmsahe]

Are those ships real or CGI? If they are real: WOW!

[4evaJaredLeto]

@cmsahe They are real, the Indefatigable is actually the Grand Turk which is a modern replica of a sixth-rate frigate, HMS Blandford, from 1741. A Baltic schooner was used to represent all of the smaller vessels. 11 scale models were used for battle scenes, with working rigging and cannons fired by remote control.

[cmsahe]

@4evaJaredLeto thanks for the answer. Now I think I'd love to sail on a tall ship! 

[yako165]

I like Archie's Henry V reference.

[jimmywrangles]

Thanks for the upload, very much appreciated.

[x00001]

four people who dislike this must be french

[Madeleinewith3Es]

I just noticed that Pellew doesn't have epaulets on his coat. I thought that as presumably a post captain for more than a year, he would have two. I'm confused.

[Prongsie93]

@Madeleinewith3Es Officers rarely wore their "full" uniform unless it was a formal occasion. Welcoming some new recruits to a frigate wouldn't be considered such an occasion - so his "good uniform" with epaulets was mostly stored in his cabin ready for the Admiralty dinners.

[Madeleinewith3Es]

@5:08 glowering Horatio and grinning Archie. @5:17 Horatio has a half smile and Archie is making me smile now. I love this scene. This is what we lost when Archie died; the sweet, emotional best friend who kept Hornblower acting human.

[Slothfulification]

The acting is so awesome, feel sorry for him thou!

[certainknotofpeace]

IT'S THE INDY!

(Do do do-doooooooo!)

[Songsmirth]

Gang, what is a, "channel grooper?"

[Songsmirth]

Clayton at least has stopped being afraid of their enemy and he teaches Horatio that a man needs to step up as a man to evil. His memory will never be forgotten by all who knew him as an honorable man who stood up to evil. Better that than had he been a coward all his life. Clayton at least made Horatio a better man./Keen is an honest man and he sees something in Horatio and wants the best for him. And he gave him over to a man that looks into a man and one that doesn't prejudge.

[PureDynamiteKid]

"A Frenchman is still a Frenchman and we shall beat him as we have alawys beaten him!" Damn it's good to be English

[ProcolHarum1967]

@PureDynamiteKid Ahem... British

[LordWellington15]

The old adversary may wear a new face, but whatever mask he chooses too hide behind, a Frenchman is still a Frenchman and we will beat him as we always have beaten him! For there is no power on earth that can withstand the might of the British Navy!

GOD SAVE THE KING!!!

[GaryAnyanka]

Right off, Captain Pellew has me.

[strangeyoungman]

Well, Captain Pellew can't very well say "Our Navy is pretty damned tough, despite certain obstacles that cannot be overcome!" or "The Royal Navy is completely inadequate for the task at hand!" Can he?

[tyrannusBE]

Funny thing, that. Simpson ad Clayton both fall in the duel, everyone rushes to Simpson. Clayton lays dying in a room upstairs with three men, Simpson has a shoulder wound and is surrounded by a whole room of sympathizers. How unjust.

[baroquemusician1]

Besides Hornblower, Pelew is the greatest officer in this series. Now there is a just man for you and a great leader and counselor to his young officers.

[MateusVIII]

@baroquemusician1 i think he is beter than hornblower, but hornblower is very cool too

[Wikkiter]

4:51, Gordon Brown is rowing o.O

[Wikkiter]

Is it just my pc, or does this episode stutter?

[MonChatDansLaLune]

@Wikkiter It stutters and I have a mac, so no it's not just you.

[ltflak]

"There is no power on Earth that can withstand the might of the British Navy!"

How bout a rock?

Or land?

[Wikkiter]

@ltflak They can sprout legs and run, did you not know this? :P

[cooliomanful]

@ltflak actually i oppose that comment, america at that time could take on the british navy. old iron sides eh? wiped the garear by new england? i would like to recall that. america can take the british onto a naval fight man.

[smellincoffee]

@cooliomanful Ironsides and her sister ships weren't ordered until the 1794. This episode takes place in 1789 -- French Revolution.

[cooliomanful]

@smellincoffee actually yes ur correct but see my point is the british cant take down any1 they want i mean we just beat them in the revolution lol.. and dont give me crap abot it was all france the only reason y napoleon lost was that 5 nations man FIVE NATIONS helped them. not one.

[Albukhshi]

@cooliomanful

its HMS Guerrier.

[Albukhshi]

@Albukhshi

crap! the e didn't type in.

its Guerriere.

[lokna]

lmao this is um 1793...with um big boats.....lmao why talking about bombers and WWI and II lmfao LOSERS ARGUE IN A DIFFO CHANNEL PLEASE:D

[BrettandHolmes]

Anyway. . . .(confused as to why youtube has become a personal dueling ground) back to the video, is it possible to hate Jack even more now? I liked Clayton dang it! Get 'im Horatio!

[Theamazinguy]

God save the king.

[Flyboy87UK]

NamVetBuck, just shut your mouth and stop spouting crap. Once you've pulled your head out of your arse and formed a clear and unbiased opinion, then you can speak.

[mymediafixation]

archie is SO cute when he's smiling : )

[Anthony009R]

It is true that the US Navy won most of the single ship actions during the war of 1812. However, The Royal Navy still commanded the Eastern Seaboard. Everyone has their day in the sun.

[Kain5th]

So different, they are all happy to be going to war. Great Series!

[NamVetBuck]

LOL ! Pellew never ran into the USS Constitution, or the Continental / United States Marines...

[Trek001]

he would have simply obliterated them! UP THE RN

[NamVetBuck]

If that were the case , CS Forester would have written that part...and I suspect Stephen Decatur would have won the day !

[Trek001]

The Royal Navy, sir, could start a war with yours at09:00, and be finished by 13:45... just in time for afternoon tea

[NamVetBuck]

LOL ! You obviously have forgotten the USS Constitution, Constellation, Bon Homme Richard, and the standing orders to NEVER attack American fast frigates sent to your "Royal Navy"...suggest you total up the wins losses of the revolution and War of 1812 ship to ship battles.

And over 200 years later , the US Navy is still the most powerful force afloat.

[Trek001]

I think that we could beat your bathtub navy without losing too much equipment... our carriers are set up for ASW, and with the new Typhoons online, we can knock out anything you send at us. Bring your best, sir

[NamVetBuck]

Don't care about ASW operations, we have ships that do the same thing....but sub launched cruise missles would take care of those ASW carriers. Shot from a longer range than your ASw can fly.

Bathtub navy ? Hardly , our fleet has 11 carriers , and yours has how many ? We operate in 4 oceans , round the clock, and there is no place safe from the US Marines.

[BeefyStoner]

your carriers mean nothing when facing our new type-45's lol !!

[NamVetBuck]

Tell that to Tomahawk cruise missles fired 200 miles away...and suggest you look up, the B-2 just left you a nice 25 megaton present.

[BeefyStoner]

lol we have cruise misiles aswell, and megaton bombs, so whats your point ?

[NamVetBuck]

Got B-2's ? ...Ah, NOPE ! Point is = we can get em there, and you will NEVER see them ...and you can't do THAT !

[BeefyStoner]

what u don't think we have B-2 equivalents and other stealthy methods to get ours their ?

B-2 spirit bombers are pretty old now, there are stealthier aircraft than that.

Even if you did get them there without us knowing, which I very much doupt, we would just do the same.

[NamVetBuck]

Very cute...but failing in logic. You can't "send " your own if the B-2 got there first...nothing left to send !

[NamVetBuck]

Ahem...the Virginia class subs are meant to take out anything....and you can run, but not hide, from a P-3 Orion...

[Trek001]

P-3?... Pissheads! Our Nimrods can easily find and kill them before they can even get close enough. If we could fight off the Germans without you help for a number of years, Then I think that we can defeat the bathtub navy

[NamVetBuck]

Number of years ? Hardly, from june of 1941 to December of 1941 is NOT "years"...check your math.

Don't see much in the way of the Royal Navy taking on ANYBODY these days...now do ya ? LOL !

[Trek001]

Well let us see? ww1 1914 - 1917?

ww2 1939 - 1941? And though we might not be doing much at the moment, at least our pilots do not shoot and kill thier own allies!

[Edgey1988]

@NamVetBuck lol Leave it out you yank mug!

[grant4455]

A clear message if ever there was one.

[urquhart2001]

Huzzah! It's the Indy! Huzzah! It's the Indy's theme tune! Huzzah! It's Captain Pellew! God save the King! Screw the frogs! Huzzah!

Now we're talkin.

[DevineLogic555]

wots the episode where hornblower pukes in the rain

[GorinRedspear]

this one, but in the very beginning

[PatrioticSam]

Captain Pellew is based on a real historical character of the same name, who was a very successful frigate captain. Accompanied by another frigate, he managed to take on and capture a French 74.

[littleredsquirrel87]

Yay Robert Lindsay!!!

[wzs37653]

Hornblower shits on Sharpe.

[Finchy000]

ummm no

[RichardSwayne]

You can compare Hornblower to Sharpe. Hornblower was typical of midshipmen of the Royal Navy of the time, where as Sharpe is an Officer to come up from the ranks in an Army dominated by Aristocratic Officers who bought their commissions.

[Chibi12345678]

I agree with you. I mean, I like and watch both shows, but Hornblower would win in a battle between the two of them. Him and his merry men :p

[NKHades007]

No Way! Sharpe would win

[jimbo620ti]

nah, sharpe and his riflemen would have em on the deck before they got anywhere near them!

[matt2house]

lol I would like to see sharpe fight simpson. An rifle officer against a naval midshipmen

[jimbo620ti]

Yeah now that would be a good one! Although, wouldent be much of a fight, sharpe would kick his ass!! lol

[CJL1194]

sharpe would kick is ass

[Wonkapoo]

Pellew could beat anyone. Because Pellew is teh awesome.

[helgarhead]

Sharpe would own Simpson

[Nickjdj]

How DARE you sir!!

Sharpe's a LEGEND!!..and Hornblower is one in the making!!

Pipeth DOWN!!

[umakeiwatch]

in the books though hornblower would be more succesful than sharpe because hornblower becomes a rear admiral and a lord

[hermione838]

Right you are!

[unsteadyequilibrium]

whoops, i meant in part 4.

[unsteadyequilibrium]

ahahahaha in the scene where clayton hits hornblower over the head to knock him out, you can see that ioan closed his eyes before he got hit! :P

[Justlov4]

I saw that too. But what can you do it happens. I laughed at it too. :)

I loved Clayton. I remember watching this a couple years ago and crying a little when he died. I'm glad I can watch the show again even with the silly mistakes that I notice more now that I'm older. It was still a fantastic show.

[wisserke]

Troupdemarine, what do you mean ? The British defeated Napoleon, so they won the war !

[MassCityGent]

Uh, too early for Napoleon.  This is 1793.

[TroupeDeMarine]

Ironic that the Brits lost that war! Vive L'Hornblower!

[jakescuba]

no we didnt we won

[paphos71]

Damn, Clayton was great, I hate you Jack Simpson!!!

[xmenlover92]

Clayton was great, I only wish that Simpson would've died instead of him. Simpson is so evil that it's not even funny.

[Marine1Bulldog]

Well, Simpson eventually gets what's coming to him.

[amezzeray2]

omg, my puter is really rubbish and I just rated it 1 star.... sooo sorry... I love ie really! 5 star stuff!!

x

[xmenlover92]

What did he do to deserve this?! Sorry...Clayton fan. Anyway, thanks for putting this up.

[funnyflyingdutchgirl]

i know he was a good men:(
