for everyone bitching about stransky and his machine pistol, its been some time since Stransky has been in officer school and hes never fired his weapon in combat before. hes a staff officer thats been in active service for months, he wouldnt be required to use it or practise very often. Its already been established in the earlier battle scene when he is seen to ask his radio operator 'where is my weapon?' in a panic. but its not about training or knowing how to use the weapon, hes panicked.

"and I will show you where the iron crosses grow" the best friendship movie line in cinema history, incredible.I like it so much because this movie comparing to dirty dozens and all that bromance crap, this movie doesn't include even a smallest pint of gay shit.

[smileoutastyleify]

lol, "how do i reload Steiner", would never have happened in the german army ;p, still love the movie and hate nazies though

[Camoochi415]

hey pals, Stransky doesn't say How do I reload ? HE SAYS: " I'VE GOT TO RELOAD. I'VE GOT TO RELOAD" LISTEN CAREFULLY, he is after all aristocratic piece of Prussian pig shit.

[Waldvogel91]

how heart-braking is 1:17?

[StarfireAlpha]

"I show you how Prussian officer can fight"

Moments later "how do I reload? How do I reload?" LOL

[alexamerling20]

@StarfireAlpha guess they didn't teach reloading your weapon at the academy :p

[StarfireAlpha]

@alexamerling20 or panic? Stransky never met or being shot by the Russian

[caa22k]

yeah there are 2 captivating battle scenes in this movie. and a great intro and ending. if any of u notice, he demotes him when says' u are the rest of my platoon" to first fuletant.

[fsayestaran]

"then i 'll show you, where the iron crosses grow..."

one of the most memorable quotes ever

[toby4700]

I love Stiener's look when Stransky pulls the gun on him. "You just try."

[nk919]

great movie

[muranoss]

iam to reload.

how do i reload cpt Steiner?

hehe

[russelledwards001]

what a movie. 'if god exists then i believe he is a sadist - but he doesn;t even know it!' what a line.

[bondita]

@russelledwards001 YOU ARE RIGHT,.... nobody tells Him anything,...nobody talks with Him that is why,... we like the confort of our living room,... we do not question things anymore and this is what we get SADISM ,..I believe it is a right punishment after all from HIS point of view don;t you think? (again from His point of view)!!!! LONG LIVE REAL FREE AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN SPIRIT

[RareCandy999]

Movie critisizes war, but also accepts it and shows that war will never stop. It continues until theres no human race anymore.

[TheSpelldoctor]

Sam Peckinpah put GRIT into violence. You knew somebody got hit. You saw the consequences,of that choice. Even when walking into hell laughing.

[finalcut75]

They don't make men like Coburn anymore

[robert100xx]

Rejoice not, in his defeat ,you men.

For although the world stood up and stopped the bastard,

The bitch that bore him is in heat again.

[TomDavid88]

@robert100xx That was written by a fucking Communist you know...

[tramber71]

great

[TRUMPER007]

Steiner and Stransky survive as they are in the 1978 sequel 'Breakthrough' and stars Richard Burton as Steiner. Stransky is promoted to Major. The sequel was far inferior to this film however.

[seanreillyireland]

Thanks so much for this top quality upload.

[Borin81]

this is how i want to die in the coming war. laughing.

[N00bcovErs]

Maybe he died in the movie (the explosion when he if laughing)

[ekimtoor]

In the book Steiner is killed.

[VonManstein100]

good film! good line! good actors!

[pendragonU]

Max Schell was Magnificent,and so Coburn.Greatest Drama can't even be in a Tango.War isn't a children's game,but some Wars are led by Childish men.

[HHSTT]

Steiner and all the others die...

it's like Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line...

they all go to hell...

[Badfish93]

Why does he go to hell?

[gfterp]

So, does Steiner survive? Is he laughing his way to Hell? [Like Mozart's Don Giovanni.]Will he meet Stransky there? As you say, ambiguous.

[reedykilowat]

God I love this movie.
