BATTLEGROUND - 1949 clip 2

[JPSwissCheese]

What is this song called?

[hancock63]

"Made in Hollywood, U.S.A." Don't see that too often these days.

[EnemyofGeorgia]

My favorite scene from one of my fav movies. Very realistic for its time, and a great theme of content. The best depiction of Bastogne until the one in Band of Brothers. This scene gives encouragement in any struggle.

[FabioPBarbieri]

Many of the people who made this movie were themselves veterans, and their memories were fresh. That is what gives this movie its stunning actuality: the comradeship, the blisters, the distant rumble of the guns, the freezing cold and exhaustion - it's all from real life.

[CaptainAmerica322]

The pride and spirit of the American fighting man will never die

[MikeyBigWheel]

[palonejr]

Hey Kinnie, whatever happened to Jody?

Bobby

8TH Infantry Division...

[doubleghod]

this is a great American scene; poignant and patriotic. It's a crying shame that Whitmore is such a blasted liberal!

[jjj1951]

@doubleghod Take a hike!

[doubleghod]

@jjj1951 I don't get it

[jaspergaffney]

and how did this get a dislike i mean cmon wat kinda person would you have to be to hate this an angry nazi vet not to be mean spiretd or nutting um well uhh NUTS!!!

[RayLRiv]

AWESOME clip. AWESOME scene. Thanks for posting! Dad would be proud.

[catothewiser]

I bet every one of them, looking around this country if they are still alive, lament that they didn't fight FOR the Nazis. I don't think they fought for degenerate things like MTV and some 3rd world lowlife staring back at them at the other side of the counter.

[Bapuji42]

@catothewiser Or, maybe you're a moron.

[Bapuji42]

@catothewiser

[Bapuji42]

@catothewiser You know, the Nazis called all sorts of things degenerate too. You sound like a Nazi.

[OrodesIII]

@catothewiser

The memory of war heroes cannot be sullied by your unpatriotic ignorance.

[eddvoss]

That is the essence of being Airborne. Airborne are expected to go farther, do more, with only what they can carry. They are above the regular soldiers in many ways but mostly in heart and attitude.

[smokinhalf]

They are going back to Bastogne look at the sign.

[pres921]

At the end of the day...it doesn't matter if they were paratroopers or not...they were heroes that's all that matters

[mkeogh76]

One of the greatest war films ever made and a HUGE influence on both Speilberg's "Saving Private Ryan" and especially "Band of Brothers," which aped entire scenes from this film. Just a terrific war film! Director William Wellman, a WWI veteran, and a cast filled with WWII vets ensured that this film really caught the spirit of the American GI.

[palonejr]

Hey Kinnie, whatever happened to Jodie?

[palonejr]

Get this guy, he don't like the Infantry.

He never had it so ggod.

You found a home in the Army.

Thanks for posting

Bobby

8TH Infantry Division

[ronin241703]

Always gives me chills.

[staringischaring]

1 person click thumbs down by accident this is my favorite war movie, especialy this ending.

[immortalass]

is that guy putting in his fucking dentures??? what the hell

[staringischaring]

@immortalass 1 He wanted to look good and 2 he can't say the chant without dentures. Lol

[tonythetiger1man]

one of the best endings to a war movie ive seen !

[ashtrekfil]

Unit Pride! Go Screaming Eagles...

[Shmittyman323]

i love that video

[Ryan3091978]

Great video.

[Tof1988]

Could someone please write the lyrics of the ending song? My English is not good enough to understand every word... Thx

[Tof1988]

OK I found them at the page of the film on IMDB

[rocksmeller99]

love that patch!

[MJD1701A]

Best and most realistic combat movie made about European theatre. Most of these men were combat vets.

[Airbornerock]

Cadence Count! 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2.....3, 4!

[vetricelvan]

@leon373 this movie is about the same people (101st airborne division 'screaming eagles' )

who got cut away and surrounded in the Ardene forest without supply for ammo and medic and most of all without winter clothing. that is why you see lots of similarities.

[rapper1012]

Van Johnsons "Oh Nooo!!!" is truly classic

[rapper1012]

you had a good home but you left your right your baby was their when you left your right sound of 1 2 sound of 3 4 kings count 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

[mortalkonlaw]

@rapper1012

It's "cadence count." A cadence call is a chant you use to keep time when marching.

[JackFlemingFan]

Probably the best scene in Battleground! Excellent!

[ozarkforever]

best movie ever!

[westphillybob]

Truly one of the great war films of all time, certainly my favorite. I was in the Infantry so perhaps I am a little prejudiced. The ending is quite memorable. Great ensemble cast.

[bee374]

that is a fucking awesome cadence. I want to use it with my guys and maybe tweek some of the words to fit this day and age/

[SgtHulkasToe]

One of the great films from the mid-twentieth century.

It is the original reality film.

[Paratrooper101th]

i don´t know, unfortunately

[Paratrooper101th]

and you know the words of someone marching songs?

[singsangX]

This is a very moving scene of the film (as clip 1). I wish I could see the whole thing. Although much has passed since (and not only good things), the liberation from Nazi regime will always tie together our countries. All the more if I see what a cage of follies the Commies have made out of their occupation zone.

[nickmitsialis]

And now sadly, James Whitmore,

RIP!

[singsangX]

So you're on of those making unrest here all the time? Why don't you flag atrocities or hate videos? We are so fed up of you denouncing people (we know too well from Nazi era and East German police state). Every dictator loves people like you! FUCK OFF!!!

[benmaxwellufp]

Now why would you go and do that? It isn't the entire movie, just a small part of it that shows the quality of the film. Because of this clip I went out and purchased the DVD. Now because of your pointless and stupid action the clip may be removed eliminating the possibility of other people coming across the movie. That would do wonders for any other sales, bonehead.

[snobear41]

Yeah too bad Hollywierd cannot depict the HEROISM of todays Soldiers & Marines!

Maybe someone should tell them that under an Islamic Callife THEY would be the FIRST ones beheaded!

[oldcorps76]

Hell, I 'd pay money to see that! ;)

[oldcorps76]

the hollyweird beheadings that is..... ;)

[coffeeal]

Thank you

[WNM52]

"Hey Kenny, What ever happened to Jody?" The tossed cigarette butt, the placing of the rifle on the WOUNDED shoulder, replacing the false teeth: This scene alone tells me as much about the 101st Airborne Division at Bastogne as ALL the segments on 'Band of Brothers"-- and hey don't get me wrong, I LIKED "Band of Brothers". Damn good movie! (RIP Van Johnson.)

[WNM52]

James Whitmore as Sgt. Kinney (Thank you, fothgt) in "Battleground" was my favorite of his many movie roles . Class act. Class actor. R.I.P.

[nickmitsialis]

Great scene; I reckon they really had to clean up the 'Jody Call' to be able to use it in a movie in 1949;

[doubleghod]

@WNM52 It's Kinnie, not Kenny

[maroonweb]

I echo the comments about how great this movie is. In my top 20 favorites of any type movie, and easily one of the 2 or 3 great war movies. First saw it on t.v. on NBC in about 19-SIXTY-FIVE! I was stunned by how cynical the soldiers were...I was used to seeing gung-ho Johh-Wayne types in the movies! In 1970, I was drafted and sent to RVN; and tell you what, cynical doesn't BEGIN to describe our attitude at the time!

[DET832]

We did this one in the police academy.

[acblueeagle]

Everyone since who knows when who has been through Army basic training has marched to this song! It is classic, and this scene is, too. I've looked all for it. Thanks for posting it.

[esanch]

Ditto. If you do not feel pride seeing this scene, you had better check your pulse. Although the events are heavily dramaticized-this was the same group of surviving paratroopers who were surrounded, outnumbered, outgunned, cut off from their supply lines, low on food and ammo, and when the Germans asked for their surrender-they defiantly gave the now famous response-NUTS! Dove or hawk, conservative or liberal, nobody can argue it was not a proud moment.

[zipper179]

@esanch You've got my vote on that, partner! I was in the Navy.. But, no matter what branch you served in, you can feel that pride; the pride that says we'r AMERICANS!

[Rikki0]

@esanch And when told they had been saved by the 3rd Armored they replied, "We didn't know we needed saving".

[dustinml14]

@esanch They weren't paratroopers. They were soldiers of the 327th Glider Infantry regiment.

[SUPERSIXTH]

they dont make movies like this anymore

5 stars

[spitty92]

great ending to a great movie

[jws54]

one terrific film. Thanks loads!

[towringer]

I was in AFROTC in 1985, and on our field training encampment we sang the same marching jody they sing at 2:14. Brings back a lot of good memories. And, of course, this is a wonderful film.

[mazzonelli]

One of the best WW2 movies ever!

[INGENIERO612006]

very good. Why did you take the other clips? they were really good for war movies fans. Post them back. Thank you
