Still havent seen this. Trailer is all I needed to see and his bio.
His squadron had the cross pattée on them. I thought that was sweet (christians? >:D). Pay close attention. Some or one had the Star of David on it? Yes
Yes I would of had the cross pattee on mine too lol. Most likely with the fire or flame symbol next to it.
I did this on Wednesday. Except without the guns, only had a high wing, in a nosedragger, and I remained in the pattern. But yeah, just like that. LOL.
@jblackrupert and in Germany he wasn't called "Baron" as it was above his rank anyways. Richthofen himself choose to title his autobiography "Der Rote Kampflieger" meaning The Red Battle Flier.
he had a bi plane and painted it red so his men wouldnt shoot at him. during ww1, 20 kills is a shit load and is what an ace was considered to get. he got 80....
@gundam116 He painted it red as a joke actually after receiving a stupid order from HQ that all aircraft should be painted for an inspecting general. The only paint available on the field was red paint.
@Jimmyblonde1979 Your information is horribly wrong, there's a few reasons floating around to why his aircraft was red one of them was his Uhlan cavalry unit's colors were Red, which he was an Infantry soldier he choose this color. Also another reason was given because he felt if his aircraft was painted red his flight would know where he was at all times, hence why most pilots had some kind of insignia to their aircraft. Don't believe everything wikipedia says.
The Red Baron looks like a chick in his flight gear. And Ralph Finnes looks more like the "Gay Baron" trailing his ass. But the plane action is f**king awesome!
jet fighters dont manouver what so ever... they just shoot rockets...... bi plaes and tri planes are sooo much more manuvorable. tri planes are better than bi planes
I live in the US and I have the DVD. It's an amazing movie! You can find it on eBay now and then. Just be sure that your DVD / BlueRay player supports the Region 2 / PAL format :]
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Damn this looks shit. Lol. I expect some sort of gritty Nazi dude not this showboating douche in planes which fly like they're in space. Has the director never played Sierra's Red Baron. I definitely did not expect the first feature film about the Red Baron to be this action packed Nazi glorifying piece of tosh. Sure Germany should honor their war heroes but they could've done it with a little grace.
His first aircraft was a triplane but in the end of the war (1918) he was the designer of the Fokker D.VII (best World War One aircraft far superior to the allies forces aircraft)
he died in dreidecker.... flew Albatros D-III first (like the one in this movie.) .. and was the first one he flew and got most of his kills in.... D-5 Albatros too slow and heavy so he got new tri plane/dreidecker .... he told his squadron... tri plane was slow but climbs like a monkey.... Germans wouldn't release any Mercedes engines to Dutchman Fokker so he had to use German Le Rhone copy....for his copy of Sopwith Triplane....
the Fokker D VII was designed by Reinhold Platz , in fact. the red baron was one of it's advocates after he had test flown it but died just prior to recieving one for his persoal combat use. he died in his triplane.
That's not at all right. The Fokker D.VII was never test flown by Manfred von Richthofen, and he could not have received one for personal combat use because the D.VII was not issued to ANYONE before May 10, 1918, two and a half weeks after Richthofen had been killed and buried.
you may be right, but what I have read "somewhere" is that he did fly it (and was a proponent for its use on the front) before he died, but he never flew it in combat....don't remember my source, sorry.
He was the one who ordered some "Changes" to the Production model when he flew the Prototype. Or so Ive heard! He achieved most of his kills in an Albatross D.III and some kills to Albatross D.II and D.Vs and then Died while flying the DR.I.
If this is the German movie "Der Rote Baron with Til Schweiger and Matthias Schweighöfer I can attest that it is a fine movie but I don't remember it having any of this kind of music. Maybe they changed it for the English version. If you are picky about historical detail you should read a book instead.
not very close to what really happened. Göring is missing? hello=? they changed his role with an jewish fighter pilot named "sternberg" ?? okee, he presents all jewish soldiers, fighting for germany in ww1, but where the hell is Hermann? O_O
Herman got command of Richtofen's Jagdgeschwader 1 after the death Wilhelm Rheinhart who had replaced the Baron after his death... that was July of 1918..... probably he very little contact with the Red baron... having flown only in Jastas 5, 26, and commanding 27 while the Baron's original command was Jasta 11....
When will this movie be released here in the United States? I understand it is not all that accurate, but I like the story anyway. I own books on this subject and von Richthofen, Boelcke, and Udet are heroes of mine. When will this be available for us to see?
i saw it a few weeks ago, it is a big letdown. the previews look good but the movie didnt take it seriously at all. The movie just skipped through it all and there wasnt any serious amount of action and when there was you never saw to the end of the engagement. A very poor movie.
I'm rather disappointed by the reviews I've seen of the film... I'm very glad there's a movie about the subject, but I suppose I'm rather picky with historical accuracy.
god damn what a lousy movie the red baron(flyboys is better) is there are in the film just three dogfights,and they are not that spectacular.But if they would make a remake of von Richthoven und Brown with these airplanes both albatrosses as fokkers nieuwports as well as camels and se-5s you will have a thrilling movie full of dogfights with the correct airplanes.
And not those lousy romantic hollywood kind of shit.
Legendary German Ace Max Immelmann would be credited with the Eindecker's first kill on August 1, 1915, and his prowess would eventually lead to a dogfighting move named in his honor
The Eindecker ( Fokker E) was a monplane that he seemed enjoy flying.( or so I have read)
Flips rolls and dives are possible but those old planes couldn't pull straight up and keep going without almost immediately stalling out.
The rotary engines of the day usually weighed 2 or 3 times their power output which made them very hard to do anything aerobatic in without losing tons of speed.
Vee and Inline engines fared better but most of the same limitations still applied.
which adds to my point that you can't pull straight up and go vertically for more than a few seconds. Lift isn't going to help on the vertical when you have gravity pulling down on the plane, the engines of the day just didn't have enough horsepower.
Time for a few people to read the "latest" historical research on Wikipedia.Get some up to date facts on the entry wound that came through the front of his chest, upwards.I've read his planes were not completely ALL red either!
One of the ground gunners bagged him, probably Cedric Popkins or a man by the name of "Snowy" Evans. We'll never know, though. There was an entire battery firing at him.
And most of his planes were all red, being the D.III and DR.1. The D.II, however, remained painted in the standard colors.
Aussie rookie????!!! You know the generosity of Youtube never ceases to amaze me, its very tragic that there are people on here making reference to a World War 1 soldier as a rookie.
Brown got the credit for the Barons death, and thats what history will show.
Most feared pilot of WWI...shot down by a rookie. lol. Manfred was unfortunate... he managed even an emergency landing after being damaged but died from a mortal gun wound.
nope. "The RAF credited Brown with shooting down the Red Baron. However, Richthofen died following an extremely serious and inevitably fatal chest wound from a single bullet, penetrating from the right armpit and resurfacing next to the left nipple. If this was from Brown's guns, Richthofen simply could not have continued his pursuit of May for as long as he did."
He chose red as a last resort. He tried light blue, white, gray. Any color to try and blend in and try to be invisible. No color worked well, so he went the other way. "If I can't be invisible, I'll be EXTREMELY visible".
Red Baron was a German combat pilot, not a plane. he flew the Fokker Triplane late in his career and died flying one. Mostly he flew a biplane, the Albatross.
He painted his planes red after realizing a paint scheme that would make his plane invisible in the air was impossible, so he said screw it and painted it bright red.
If you were in Jadgeschwader 1 (the Flying Circus), you could paint your plane whatever the hell you wanted. The Baron chose red because he wanted his foes to be scared, he didn't want surprise. Fear was his ally.
I've seen the whole movie yesterday in Germany. I enjoyed the movie. It was good entertainment, without being trivial like painting the adversaries "black and white" (good and evil, smart and dumb). The air battles were computer-animated really good and I can hardly believe that this movie was made in Germany and not by PIXAR. Of course it is not a flawless movie but it has a good story and good balance between entertainment and historical established truth. Even my wife enjoyed the movie.
Looks like a fun movie. Ofcourse the old biplanes cannot move like that, especially the steep dives, but it is a movie and they have to appeal to a general audience, not just us pilots and airplane buffs.
In reality the Red Baron actually tried to avoid twisting turning dogfights. He preffered the coodinated attack from a position of advantage. It was one of the reasons for his success.
I have always understood that the planes could and did move like that. Now we are saying this is a fantasy? I think this is very close to what these planes could do. And that includes a steep dive.
Some of the early 1914 and 1915 planes had problems with a steep dive, loosing wings and such from the stress, but by 17 and 18 I think the best planes like the Spad, Albatross, Camel,Se5, Fokker could certainly maneuver as shown.
But I think their faces would be dirtier! and show Battle fatigue.
Richthofen criticized pilots which tried to escape by deep dives. It had obviously been common enough for him to notice.
The early Albatros-planes did not even have to dive to occasionally lose a wing. The later were much more robust and at the end, Focker VIIs and Sopwith Snipes were great airplanes. They would even be, today (not talking about motors). ;-)
I have not yet seen the movie, but hope, that Richthofens slightly rotten under-developed character is well on display. No hero. A killer.
Come on every successful combat pilot was a killer. The French ace Guynemer referred to himself as an assassin.
These planes were designed as killing machines and the pilots objective was to eliminate the opponent. Only the skilled efficient killers survived long. All others went down with their planes.
The movements are a little to fast. In movies like "Blue Max" or "Von Richthofen and Brown" you could see some replicas flying around and what their capabilitys were.
Can Germany make a bad movie about a hero like Richthofen?
Looks like they are at least giving a nod to historical accuracy. The planes are painted as they were and Manfred is flying a red Albatross rather than the red DR1 triplane that folklore exclusively attributes to him. Yea he flew a red tripe, but not until the last days of his combat career. Talk about brave. It would take nerve just to climb into one of those machines and take it up, let alone dogfighting and dodging bullets!
yes richtofen flew the albatros for most of his career but i hope u exadgerate when u say "but not until the last days of his combat career." because Richtofen Flew the Fokker tripe for a couple months, yet he clamied more kills in the albatros then in the Dr.1 now if uve seen flyboys ever single enemey plane was a fullout red tri-plane and it made me mad, so im look forward to seein this movie, im quite excited, any idea when it comes out in north america?
Well I respond before having seen the film, which is possibly the best moment in the first place. ;-)
We can. Bad movies have tradition. But I hope for another positive surprise! Without claiming to know the ultimate definition for "Hero": Who expressed his adoration for the good sportsman and great pilot he found in Hawkins, then ends his letter with "I shot him in the head" is somethig I cannot write in public, but not a hero. The word is worn out.
@Halkalooki: We share the same opinion, so far. I am only pointing to the new/old use of the word "hero" as a synonym for "successful killer, surviving longer than most of the others".
Well, of course not. It is a movie. XD And a trailer that is mostly using some of the eyecandy to look nice on the big screen. What do you expect of a commerical movie? That they make the planes as slow as they actually are?
They probably did, to be able to look up against the sun in case the enemy came from the sun.
They always wore glasses like that. When you fly a open cockpit plane at about 8000 feet or more, you could freeze your eyeballs if you had tears in your eyes. Or imagine all the castor oil, etc, coming from the engine, right in your face. There are records of pilots running straight to latrine once they landed after a mission because of that :P
Works fine with the music, thanx for uploading! Great pics from the upcoming german movie "Der Rote Baron" (red baron) starring Matthias Schweighöfer, Til Schweiger and many more! It opens on April 10th, 2008 nationwide in Germany. Great special effects!!

Most feared pilot of WWI...shot down by a rookie. lol. Manfred was unfortunate... he managed even an emergency landing after being damaged but died from a mortal gun wound.

he wasnt shot down by a rookie! he was shot down by an australian infantery man...

nope. "The RAF credited Brown with shooting down the Red Baron. However, Richthofen died following an extremely serious and inevitably fatal chest wound from a single bullet, penetrating from the right armpit and resurfacing next to the left nipple. If this was from Brown's guns, Richthofen simply could not have continued his pursuit of May for as long as he did."

He chose red as a last resort. He tried light blue, white, gray. Any color to try and blend in and try to be invisible. No color worked well, so he went the other way. "If I can't be invisible, I'll be EXTREMELY visible".

It looks like a computer flight simulator-CGI sucks, real life is better, and that's why Blue Max is a better film than Red Baron.

They used CGI for some of the "seemingly" Impossible Stunts but the rest is real flying.

Red Baron was a German combat pilot, not a plane. he flew the Fokker Triplane late in his career and died flying one. Mostly he flew a biplane, the Albatross.
He painted his planes red after realizing a paint scheme that would make his plane invisible in the air was impossible, so he said screw it and painted it bright red.
At least that's what I read!

I think the Red was a part of the 'Flying Circus' paint schemes that Manfreds Jasta incorporated to aid with ID'ing friendly aircraft.
Electricfox 3 years ago
If you were in Jadgeschwader 1 (the Flying Circus), you could paint your plane whatever the hell you wanted. The Baron chose red because he wanted his foes to be scared, he didn't want surprise. Fear was his ally.

I've seen the whole movie yesterday in Germany. I enjoyed the movie. It was good entertainment, without being trivial like painting the adversaries "black and white" (good and evil, smart and dumb). The air battles were computer-animated really good and I can hardly believe that this movie was made in Germany and not by PIXAR. Of course it is not a flawless movie but it has a good story and good balance between entertainment and historical established truth. Even my wife enjoyed the movie.

Looks like a fun movie. Ofcourse the old biplanes cannot move like that, especially the steep dives, but it is a movie and they have to appeal to a general audience, not just us pilots and airplane buffs.
In reality the Red Baron actually tried to avoid twisting turning dogfights. He preffered the coodinated attack from a position of advantage. It was one of the reasons for his success.
maxsmodels 3 years ago 2
I have always understood that the planes could and did move like that. Now we are saying this is a fantasy? I think this is very close to what these planes could do. And that includes a steep dive.
Some of the early 1914 and 1915 planes had problems with a steep dive, loosing wings and such from the stress, but by 17 and 18 I think the best planes like the Spad, Albatross, Camel,Se5, Fokker could certainly maneuver as shown.
But I think their faces would be dirtier! and show Battle fatigue.
Halkalooki 3 years ago
Richthofen criticized pilots which tried to escape by deep dives. It had obviously been common enough for him to notice.
The early Albatros-planes did not even have to dive to occasionally lose a wing. The later were much more robust and at the end, Focker VIIs and Sopwith Snipes were great airplanes. They would even be, today (not talking about motors). ;-)
I have not yet seen the movie, but hope, that Richthofens slightly rotten under-developed character is well on display. No hero. A killer.
X599 3 years ago
Come on every successful combat pilot was a killer. The French ace Guynemer referred to himself as an assassin.
These planes were designed as killing machines and the pilots objective was to eliminate the opponent. Only the skilled efficient killers survived long. All others went down with their planes.

@Halkalooki
The movements are a little to fast. In movies like "Blue Max" or "Von Richthofen and Brown" you could see some replicas flying around and what their capabilitys were.

Flyboys is crap usless American junk where the British were assholes and the Germans were pointed helmetted robots.
I reserve judgement for red baron but it certainly looks better.

Can Germany make a bad movie about a hero like Richthofen?
Looks like they are at least giving a nod to historical accuracy. The planes are painted as they were and Manfred is flying a red Albatross rather than the red DR1 triplane that folklore exclusively attributes to him. Yea he flew a red tripe, but not until the last days of his combat career. Talk about brave. It would take nerve just to climb into one of those machines and take it up, let alone dogfighting and dodging bullets!
Halkalooki 3 years ago 3
yes richtofen flew the albatros for most of his career but i hope u exadgerate when u say "but not until the last days of his combat career." because Richtofen Flew the Fokker tripe for a couple months, yet he clamied more kills in the albatros then in the Dr.1 now if uve seen flyboys ever single enemey plane was a fullout red tri-plane and it made me mad, so im look forward to seein this movie, im quite excited, any idea when it comes out in north america?

"Can we make bad movies about Richthofen?"
Well I respond before having seen the film, which is possibly the best moment in the first place. ;-)
We can. Bad movies have tradition. But I hope for another positive surprise! Without claiming to know the ultimate definition for "Hero": Who expressed his adoration for the good sportsman and great pilot he found in Hawkins, then ends his letter with "I shot him in the head" is somethig I cannot write in public, but not a hero. The word is worn out.
X599 3 years ago
@Halkalooki: We share the same opinion, so far. I am only pointing to the new/old use of the word "hero" as a synonym for "successful killer, surviving longer than most of the others".

Better than that gay Flyboys movie which wasn't even accurate! I mean those Fokker Dr.1s were painted like the von Richthofen's plane itself.
Lame.
This movie, however, seems like it would be pretty cool.

did ww1 pilots use sunglasses in ww1.
terryjohn 3 years ago
They probably did, to be able to look up against the sun in case the enemy came from the sun.
They always wore glasses like that. When you fly a open cockpit plane at about 8000 feet or more, you could freeze your eyeballs if you had tears in your eyes. Or imagine all the castor oil, etc, coming from the engine, right in your face. There are records of pilots running straight to latrine once they landed after a mission because of that :P
