  • AppZilla lied to me. Where the hell is the red car!

  • someone told me that there was a porshe in this film

  • where is this dam car........

  • noticed the tire tracks on the ground>

  • Lol look at parts 1:27 and 7:05

  • the only good part of this race i like is when ben hur doesnt whip his beautiful white horses unlike the 1926 silent version where ramon novarro franticly whips his horses to make them go faster and i also like when heston hugs all his horses at the end

  • Beautiful creatures. Unlike man!

  • Amazing! Can you imagine this in reality? Those horses had to have stamina out the wazoo!!!!!

  • the production, direction, cinematography....top notch!!!!!

  • that was badass

  • Where is the car

  • to think this sequence inspired George Lucas for the pod race scene in star wars episode 1

    It's incredible

  • It's pretty sad to watch this scene and realize just how much "The Phantom Menace" ripped it off. I would say about 80% of the shots here were duplicated in some way in the pod race scene.

    That shot at 4:56 was absolutely mind-blowing. I had to go back and watch it again three times. It's amazing what stunt men had to do back in the days before blue screens and stunt wires.

  • They don't make them like this anymore. Back in the day when stuntmen actually died making these movies. It's an amazing sequence with real tension because they did it for real, no shitty fake CGI.

  • Fuck "Death Race"!

    This is da shit!

  • I had to watch this film in Latin class :o and it was very boring to me xD

  • So where's the red car?

  • @claudio990 For the last bloody time, THERE IS NO RED CAR! No one died either.

  • @Peterincan nice

  • @Peterincan There is a FUCKING RED CAR, look closely at the HD Movie and you'll see you blind cunt. RaSpex.

  • @imdacoolestguy Wow, to warrant an attack like that, one would think that I did something like total your car or kick your cat. nevertheless, untill you can tell me exactly where in the clip the car appears, I will stand by my previous statement.

  • @Peterincan AHHHHH, did my 'attack' make u cry, u little baby. If ur like 2 stupad 2 see da red car dats like ur problem innit? RaSpex.

  • @claudio990 Maybe the camera-car was red?...

  • I love the guy at 8:25, stealing the helmet.

  • "I'll give you my gun when you take it from my cold, dead hands" C. H.

  • ESPERO QUE CON ESTA PELICULA, LOS CATOLICOS YA NO CREAN EN LOS SANTOS DE YESO Y DIBUJOS EN CARTON, PORQUE LA RELIGION CATOLICA ESPAÑA SE LA IMPUSO A AMERICA A BASE DE FREGADASOS, MUERA LA ESTUPIDA RELIGION CRISTIANA

  • Bad guy = black horses.

    Good guy = white horses.

    Ah . . . the good old days.

  • No CGI shit...

  • @ivanpb1983 This was when movies were epic

  • Way better than nascar

  • Image how Bad this is for the horses in that Time.

  • An urban legends surrounding the chariot sequence states that a stuntman died during filming. To give the scene more impact and realism, three lifelike dummies were placed at key points in the race to give the appearance of men being run over by chariots. Most notable is the stand-in dummy for Boyd's Messala that gets tangled up under the horses, getting battered by their hooves. This resulted in one of the most grisly fatal injuries in motion picture history up until then, and shocked audiences

  • THis is a remake of a silent movie. The oirginal may have had a few deaths in it, Quit e a ;ot of dead horses as well.

  • Why would neone hate on this movie? it looks so cool i wanna see it on filmsi.co.cc so bad. He plays evry part he does like a beast. like when he played before. he was a bad ass lol

  • Whoever made this video is super talented. Amazing movie, great parts put in with the music. What i saw in this movie at filmsi.co.cc is that we are alll one. To live forever is a high our imperfect bodies could never handle.

  • They should use more real stuntmen and dummies in action movies instead of all those fancy animations. You don't see people arguing whether or not real people died in recent action movies. This scene on the contrary makes people cringe even today, and all they did was use dummies that don't even cost a fraction of the animated ragdolls they would use today.

  • what a classic

  • can someone tell me where the car is ? apperently there is a car in this scene

  • one guy did die

  • Someone actually did die from teh making of this movie. They didn't have the fancy hollywood stuff ..

  • @xICONiCBELiEBER no its a myth

  • @brownbear1023 No, someone did die actually. My teacher told me

  • @brownbear1023

    no YOU'RE a myth

    lol

  • @brownbear1023 No, I'm pretty sure the guy in the green die after getting run over.

  • @xICONiCBELiEBER Well, it isn't play in hollywood or Amerca but in in Europa. So mebi it's good.

  • @xICONiCBELiEBER An extra was actually killed by a lion. They decided to shoot at the lion only when the guy was being dismembered. They first tried not to as the lion was more expensive than the extra.

  • 4 HP Chariot...

  • 4 HP Chariot...

  • This movie was my Grandpa's favorite film. This movie is my Father's favorite film as well. This movie was the first one that shocked me when I was a child...and after so many years it still impresses me. This is the proof when something is done right and with inspiration it just overcomes the test of time.

  • This movie was my Grandpa's favorite film. This movie is my Fater's favorite film as well. This movie was the first one that socked me when I was a child...and after so many years it still impresses me. This is the proof when something is done right and with inspiration it just overcomes the test of time.

  • 3 people work for PETA

  • Those light gray Arabians that Judah drives are so beautiful when they run!! I love this movie!!

  • he visto esa escena mas de mil veces y nunca me cansare de decir que es la mas impresionante del cine, hasta ahora no la pueden igualar.

  • NO CGI for sure!

    The back cover said it took one year to shoot and last 20 minutes only on screen.

  • 3 dudes can't take the heat!

  • NASCAR at Martinsville, 2000 years ago ROFLOLMAO!!!!!!!!!!

  • @milan1234cdf

    It's on AFI's 100 best movies.

  • This would never be made today, they just get that crappy CGI for this. Holy crap! This stuff is real!!

  • This beats the shit out of pod racing any day

  • Comment removed

  • I´m not the type of guy who ask for thumbs up but I DO ask your thums up...

    ... if you think that today they do motherf&%$n parkinson action scenes because they dont have the balls this stuntmen had.

    today the camera has parkinson!! i don´t understand a crap when i watch someone fighting or racing, i just keep eating my popcorn and waiting that madness to end soon!!!

  • 7:10 that stuntman actually died.

  • @PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH No he didn't. There are several urban legends surrounding the chariot sequence, one of which states that a stuntman died during filming. You should not listen to urban legends.

  • @Oliv3rLaid No one died making this movie, but I believe there were some fatalities in the silent film production.

  • @1st503rdSGT And on what do you base your suspicions?

  • @Oliv3rLaid My bad. 1925 version: several horses killed (no people that I know of).

  • This scene would still be amazing today.

  • Stuntmen were purposely killed back then. It was just part of the job.

  • i seen a man wearing a hitec wrist watch

  • The greatest movie scene of all times! Superb cinematography - and to think this was achieved without the help of computers and digital enhancements! I saw this movie for the first time in the theater, when I was 14 years old, and people were on their feet and clapping after this scene!!!

  • This sequence was well made. No CGI, all real!

  • wait so when the first guy falls from his horse he actually falls?

  • man i just noticed, star wars totally copied this scene in the phantom menace.......fuck pod-racing, chariots are the shit....

  • hmmmm.....awesome stunts like this or some nerd behind a computer doin CGI?which would you chose

  • Now THIS is making movies!

  • Holy shit, this whole scene is filled with what looks like actual near-death experiences. Several people getting trampled and ran over by horses and chariots, people almost getting maimed by spikes, others flying about...

    These guys had balls of steel.

  • @Arcterion Actually, the "people" getting trampled and run over were dummies. But, I agree that the stuntmen were tough...

  • @YDDES ... Really? Oh wow. Looked more convincing than some of the CGI I've seen, lol.

  • @Arcterion Yes, it looked very convincing, but it was dummies. The only injury was when Joe Canutt (the stunt-coordinators son) was flung out of his chariot in the "jump". He got a cut in his chin.

  • @Arcterion actually some people did die duringthis scene

  • @gabel13 nope

  • @Arcterion All who were ran over were dummies! For heavens sake, don't You know how movies are made? Short, very carefully rehearsed takes, cut together to longer scenes.

  • 1:38 ooooh ouch -_o this scene looks so real. Amazing. They don't make sequences like that anymore.

  • @JG16riffin That's because it was real, the stunt man, Joe Canutt nearly died, it was completely unscripted

  • @Ashley963123 wow. :P

  • @JG16riffin do you know that guy actually died and they payed off his family to be able to put it in the movie

  • @DaveChorowskiMusic no i didn't know that :( 

  • @JG16riffin

    lol he's lying, in the 1925 Ben Hur the race was real (the director offered a cash prize to the winner) and horses died but that's about it.

  • @Orxnge lol fair enough.

  • @JG16riffin From what I understand, that guy really WAS run over in that scene, it was an accident that was just left in the film.

  • @WheelsRCool wrong

  • My new hobby is seeing movies... When i was small i didn't like watching movies but  now when i meet moovi.co.cc i am enjoying in every second of all the movies that i see there...

  • @Microworkerul Trying some advertising?...

  • I read that somewhere in this scene a small red car can be seen in the distance! Anyone find it?

  • @GTCooper223 I read that here on this forum. Someone said it was seen in the background during the scene where those fishes were flipped when the chariots passed each round about .. i think it was the sixth or seventh fish that the car is seen in the background. Wow even i missed that one and i've seen the films well over 100 x.

  • What a classic. I grew up watching these types of movies. Never get tired of it either. I could watch it over and over..

  • Guys u can nott resist seeing the film over and over again! Enhanced with the beautifull experience on moovi.co.cc page!

  • This is the first true NASCAR race.

  • Best action scene ever.

  • did anyone ACTUALLY see the red car? If you have seen it tell me the time it is on for example 6:17-6:18 the seventh dolphin goes down

  • DONT KNOW WHY but MOVIE IS AWSOME... I liked it because it is very creativee 10/10 stars and you can see it on moovi.co.cc!

  • Something this incredible in cinematic history will very likely never be seen in any other film years to come.

  • i love people gettin hurt

    

  • Four Horse Power!!! 

  • This is the best man....!! wow!! if you are searching for a place that u need for online films, then moovi.co.cc it is!! check it guys!!

  • Is it just me or i just see a Red Car?

  • @lagbiju

    It's not you.

    and Heston wears a watch too.

  • The director actually had a heart attack when the actor got ran over

  • Deathus Racesus 33... :0) Take care, God bless...

  • i loved this movie so much hahaha, it was hilarious, have to say one of my top of 2010, worth watching att malifilmici.co.cc, btw eclipse is even great there....

  • i was watching this movie before with my step dad, i was betting on the gray horses..... and he was betting on the white once...guess who had to do chores for the week ._. <--that really didnt happen but i love this movie LOVE IT

  • btw the guy that fell under the horses was a stuntman and he really died the guy wiggling in the next scene was another guy

  • @meroom1; That's still debatable. The director stated that nobody died during the filming and denies statements saying otherwise. The whole thing is still considered an urban legend. That doesn't change the fact that that scene was quite brutal and could have indeed killed someone, but as of now it's iffy.

  • @meroom1 No one was killed or badly hurt in these scenes. Every crash was thorougly staged with stuntmen and dummies. How could they have filmed unplanned accidents from several angles and even from a camera car? Just stupid urban legends!

  • @YDDES .. ok if animal activists where on the set they would have probably shut the whole thing down. One scene shows the horses actually flipping over. You can't tell me that was a done by a stunt man. Love the movie though.. Even if they remake this..it will NEVER be close to this. Timeless and classic.

  • @Sweetzycherry Stuntmen flipping horses over were common in every Western film back then. There were no animal activists who interferred. The race took several weeks to film. Every scene was carefully choreographed.

  • @meroom1 No way.. the guy was killed? Oh i didn't know that. Half of the people on this forum state that no one was killed. The horses I know were injured. Did you see the horses during the charriot race flip over? Wow. This film is a classic and their will NEVER be another made like it ,, EVER.

  • @Sweetzycherry WHY would anyone allow a sportscar to be driven onto a closed movie set? It's just an absurd legend. I think most people who say a driver was killed, have no ideas about moviemaking. Every scene was carefully rehearsed with actors, drivers, stuntmen and dummies. It was NOT a "race" going on for nine laps. It took weeks to film the race in short segments, then edited together. Every "crash" was exactly planned to occure in front of the static cameras or the camera-car.

  • I NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD!!! this was a funny movie that I saw and I would highly recommand it to everyone who likes a good comedi I have seen this movie several times on kookicá and each time no matter how much knowledge i have of this movie it just keeps pulling me back in..

  • @jakir15 Actually the only part I laughed at was when BenHur was in the charriot race and the other racer started hitting him with the whip.. that was soooo wrong but funny. The whole movie.. EXCELLENT. Classic.

  • At last a film for adults whose well acted story meshes beautifully with exceptional cinematography that transforms us totally. I saw it on kookíca today. I was entranced by this film from the opening scenes to the final credits.

  • Excelente película, sobretodo tomando en cuenta que es de 1959, sin efectos especiales compuatarizados. No me canso de verla y emocionarme con las escenas. La carrera es realmente épica. Lo mejor. ¿Alguien puede decirme en que segundo de la carrera se ve al fondo el Ferrari rojo?

  • Can someone please tell me what horses were used in this scene?

  • @TWproductions5667844 I've read somewhere that Ben-Hurs horses were Lippizaners. The rest I don't know.

  • Yakima Canutt coordinated the racing scenes and stunts. He was great with horses. He even coordinated the indian attack in "The Stagecoat" with John Wayne, directed by John Ford. There's some really great stunts in that too.

  • Greatest 10 minutes of film ever put on the silver screen. Not a computer generated scene what so ever. Every time I watch it no matter how many times it still captures my attention. It didn't matter who one the race it's just great to watch

  • did u know in one of these parts u can see a little red car inbetween the collsium?

  • @fighter4111 Do You really believe in that old urban legend? Just joking, I hope?

  • @YDDES actually its real. i seen it before.

  • @fighter4111 In which scene? I have seen this movie a couple of times on the big screen, and has it on DVD. The race I have seen a lot of times. Never seen a car. Or a wristwatch...

  • @YDDES u gotta look very carefully and wristwatch?

  • @fighter4111 Many people say they see someone with a wristwatch in one of these scenes. Just an urban legend too...

  • @YDDES lol

  • Kids R Spoiled Today with computer grahpics,back in these days They had a thing called"Stuntmen"....

  • WHERE'S THE CAR?

  • r-e-c-o-m-m-e-n-d recommend

  • if messala did not whip ben hur he will win the chariot race, well that is not the sequence of the film, in films most good guys are always the winners..

  • 50 Years later, it´s still one of the greatest action scenes ever filmed....

  • just this 9 minute and 50 second movie clip is more exhilarating and entertaining then just about any film put out today, sad but true.

  • Epic moment from a epic film

  • I love the black horses the best

  • Awesome scene!

  • did you know the guy really died when he got trampled. but they kept the scene

  • @TheKenny226 What guy was trampled? The "guy" that was run over when standing on all four was a dummy, as was the "soldier" falling in front of a chariot. So was "Messala" trampled under under the horses. For heavens sake, it was photographed from the camera-car, and not a real accident! It was planned and rehearsed scenes. No one died in making of this movie. Just an urban legend.

  • @YDDES thanky uo mr.obvious i heared from my teacher it was real but i looked it up after my brother got done on here and i know this. but thats what urban legends do.

  • @YDDES thats right.. i think though the only deaths in this movie were the horses. many apparently died. this again might just be another urban legend though

  • wheres the coke machine?????

  • Tenia este vídeo en favoritos....y dos veces se cerró la página.

    Me parece una película maravillosa, y unas de las secuencias cinematográfica más geniales del Cine....

    Las imágenes finales algo duras.....pero cada toma magistral...dirección, actores, banda sonora......Y que hermosos caballos.

    Insuperable en todos los sentidos.

  • @MrShamimmkt I've seen this movie on a BIG screen with multi channel sound on a cinema. That's a whole different thing than seing it on a computer screen.

  • If You look closely, the chariot that is supposed to lose its wheel due to Messalas "Greek wheelhubs" at 1:30, actually has its wheels intact when it crashes. So does Messalas chariot after losing a wheel. The close ups of the wheels being damaged were filmed with the chariots being pulled by the camera car.

  • @YDDES dont get too technical enjoy the moment, the meaning

  • @shiftutube Well, I've enjoyed this movie several times, and agree with those who say that the chariot race is one of the most dynamic moviescenes in history. But, I also like some "nitpicking" of movies from time to time...

  • DEAR BRAD BUDDY

    D ASS HOLE YET I LOV YOU

    HARE KRSNA

  • Some of the horses died along with the stunt men

  • some of the horses died along with stunt men!

  • @VICTORIOUS1604 Sorry dude, the stunt man didn't die, that was a dummy that got run over.

  • I really liked the movie. Very intricate and clever plot. Just see it at kòòkica and enjoy. For sure you better pay attention or you will quickly get lost. They tied all the loose ends together.

  • Wow those horses ran thier hearts out.

  • @motherwolfe66 In reality, they set up a scene with the horses, actors and cameras, and then the horses started to run, maybe one or a couple of laps. Then they stopped and waited, maybe for hours, before the cameras and everything were ready for the next scene, photographed from another angle, or from the camera car driving around the circuit. It took several days to film the whole race. So, the horses didn't have to work very hard.

  • @YDDES haha Glad to hear that, as I was thinking, man! that's gotta be tough on the horses.

  • Comment removed

  • Also: If an actor or stuntman dies during filming, that take is, of course, never used in the finished film. It would be unethical, and the relatives could sue the moviecompany on millions.

    People believing in these urban legends often have a very dim understanding of moviemaking.
