This is exactly what kinda war the globalists want. Even killing with great losses on both sides for meaningless pieces of land. Entire platoons dead for every bush and tree. The vietnam war was NEVER intended to be won nor lost. It was intended to be sustained for as long as possible, enabling massive weapons and arms sales, funding both sides of the war and depopulating the world as a bonus. WAKE UP PEOPLE! A New World Order is rising. Do your own research
Still have to watch this movie, but I can never find it, love platoon and full metal jacket.. Enjoyed apocalypse now but not the same as most people seem to. Also love band of brothers, the pacific and generation kill
This film is watchable as a good b-movie type action flick.It's better than platoon,because platoon takes itself WAAAY more seriously.A few powerful scenes no doubt,weber's speech,the soldiers sliding back down the muddy hill in the rain.It tries really hard to be honest,but in doing so,just makes the film routine.Alot of speech making,hero deaths etc.Look at the friendly fire scene,it starts out great,but really bad acting and a corny shot of a helmet rolling back down the hill RUINS IT.
@MrKUBRICKIAN I don't think it tries really hard to be honest, it just "is", and I'm glad. I enjoyed the authentic dialogue during the slow parts, the unknown actors(at the time) who did a great job and didn't over-act, and the fact that not one particular actor was the main focus was unique. The Hill assault was hardcore and as realistic as it can get.
@diestroduende I really don't think the dialouge was honest,it seemed like it was forced,because every subject seemed to always get back to be serious.The scene where the italian guy talks about a car,then brags about getting kills to the sarge.That scene works,but the point is made,they seem to just repeat scenes like that over and over.Also,the acting from the doc is embarrassingly over the top in every scene.I still think it's better than that horribly overrated platoon,but not by alot.
This is my favourite "Vietnam War" film, and i've seen most if not all of them.
My 2nd is Platoon, 3rd Tour Of Duty (i know a tv series not a film, but it was undeniably good) 4th Full Metal Jacket, 5th Thin Red Line 6th Apocalypse Now (i saw the extended version and i didn't really like the film.)
Theres more but I can't remember them at the moment .
I know for a fact that there were still Vietnamese risking there lives to escape Vietnam as late as the late '80s / early '90s. If caught they would have been excecuted. What does that say for the political system that has to use force and application of deadly force to keep its people in?
This is probably my all-time favorite Vietnam war movie. Every uniform detail, sound effect and weapon effect is completely historical and realistic. For example the attack in the movie by the river - the visuals and sounds of the M60 returning fire, and the incoming/ impacting artillery rounds in the woodline across the river... SOMEbody had their military consultant face on!!
@canibus19 Yeah you're right Platoon was also great for a lot of the same reasons as Hamburger Hill. The one thing that kept Platoon off my favorites was how Oliver Stone kind of took every problem with the US army in the 60s and concentrated them all into ONE platoon - but that's just a cynical director for ya. Yeah - the movie Platoon was good too.
Soldiers in Vietnam fought just as hard and heroically as any in US history, and no the vast majority of them did NOT come home and "rebel against the war". In fact it was those digraceful commie-loving hippies of the 60s that gave those troops such a thankless reception. I was in Iraq and fully appreciate "support for the troops" and what it means to a soldier returning after fighting overseas. I cannot imagine being greeted at the airport pelted with bags of dogshit. Somebody would get hurt!
Pointless war in wich the people we sould be sorry about are the vietnamese. Respect to the american soldiers that didn't want to be there in the first place, and later rebelled against the war. This movies show only one side of the story. They never show the people that were burned alive by the napalm in their own country.
It wasn't pointless; it was a battle for the good people of Vietnam against communism. However, due to phobia of looking heavy-handed, the U.S. Government failed its own troops. It let a small city worth of men die, communism took over Vietnam, and most countries trade with Vietnam today anyways! I think Nam vets have it harder than vets of other wars: they feel as though it was all a waste...
This war was political...nothin' more nothin' less. As far at the battle of Hamburger Hill...the battle was a waste. It served lil' value to the US, 70-something soldiers killed. Don't know how many were injured. They take the hill and later the commanders abandon it and the Vietcong takes it back over. If that's not a waste then I don't know what is. The media didn't help with the release of that life issue of dead soldiers in a week. Media made it hard for the military to operate tho.
@TonoFonseca My point is that the world dosen't revolve aroun US army. If the soldeiirs invading my homeland suffer or "don't loose any battles" and shit like that.. is irrelevant.. The US was a foreign agressor in Vietnam.. How were they greeted.. Who cares.. How were nazis greeted? If Vietnamese want to be communist or not is for them to decide.. not the US.. You make this bloody murderous adventure sound like charity...
No, the U.S. Army is not the world's policeman, is it? The U.S. has often presented itself as a saviour of democracy and freedom, but it isn't really. It gained very little territory for South Korea, it abandoned the people of Vietnam, it has not ended the communist regime in Cuba, its mission in Somalia was a failure... nonetheless, I think calling the Vietnam War a "genocide" is an extreme and over-generalised statement.
@TonoFonseca The US killed 4 millon people in SE Asia.. 58000 dead US troop.. is nothing compared to this genocide... That is my point, totaly missed by this propaganda movie... if it was fictious it would be ok :)
@zekoslav1974 its not a propaganda movie. It shows the utter pointlessness of the war. Fighting and dying for every inch. Fighting hard, losing a lot of good, brave men.Taking every high ground, just to lose it back to the enemy next day. The vietnam war was NEVER intended to be won nor lost. It was intended to be sustained for as long as possible, enabling massive weapons and arms sales, funding both sides of the war and depopulating the world as a bonus.
@zekoslav1974 It also didn't show the thousands of South Vietnamese civilians, political leaders and educators that were outright MURDERED by the Viet Cong simply for not agreeing with communist politics. That's what the US and it's allies were fighting against. True, our government fucked us hard but our troops fought a noble cause. True innocent civilians were caught in the crossfire but most cases were unintentional. So what's your point?
So instead of bitchin about random shit lets talk about the moview or trailer. This is probably one of my favorite vietnam films. The trailer helps too.
@JesusChristisMuslim Zombie Jesus is not coming back....how many times has it been predicted? Go question that stupid book you call the bible and try to undo some of your brainwashing. It amazes me that people are still so naive.
@JesusChristisMuslim No thanx I don't feel like having my women folk circumsized and I really don't like them wearing burkas. This isn't the 13th century and that's whack
Having spent 14 months in Nam including that area plus FSB 29 near Dak To the number of all people left does not include those that are no longer combat ready. If your people are toast because they have been on the line for 4 straight days with zero down time you don't commit them and you do count them as part of your units lack of final effectiveness. If you have not been in a unit that this has happened to then you just don't understand.
On May 18, the commander of the 101st Airborne, Major General Melvin Zais, arrived and decided to commit three addition battalions to the battle as well as ordered that the 3/187th, which had suffered 60% casualties, be relieved. Protesting, Honeycutt was able to keep his men in the field for the final assault.
@antosbam shut up u italian. do u know that america is pretty much all of the nations combinde which makes... one kick ass country. and dont steriotype us. i dont steriotype u. and america made the internet, if it werent for us u wouldnt be here now
Ok yeah I rate them for what they did but when a movie substitutes inaccuracy for effect then that's just taking the piss, especially when the other side suffered greater more tramatic deaths because of the Ameicans, I mean Agent Orange is still disforming people today! x
is this the movie where something happens and this one guy tries to save this other guy and he drags him by his legs and all the skin on his legs slide right of his bones?
After Cheeseburger Hill they should either continue to Bacon Cheeseburgers, or they should go ahead and switch down to an alternate film about Chicken Sandwiches.
@ninjakajun -- im not involved with military, but somehow i still find that comment offensive...making jokes just doesnt seem right. have you no heart? peace.
@wafertastic It's good. But really unrealistic tbh. "600 men went up, less than a third went done", bullshit its Vietnam not fuckin WWII. A lot of Vietnam films try and make it look like WWII, yeh it was intense but I mean here is the stats for the real Battle of Hamburger Hill:
@liamag92 thats true. hollywood will do everything to lure people to watch it try to brainwash them thinking as if it was fucking wild like ww1 and 2 and korea. i mean the u.s kicked the shit out of the vietcongs
Sure, if you can call losing a war 'kicking the shit' out of somone. The U.S mostly succeded in kicking the shit out out the vietnamese civilian population, who suffered more than the U.S or the N.V.A
Im not saying the war wasnt justifiable, what with all the genocide; In the process of war a shit load of the civilian population suffered, and still do, from the use of chemical weapons and were generally bombed the fuck out of. At least its alot better now, except the the north still push the south around and fight over borders...
Its serious stuff, millions of people on all sides suffered, my point was to the other guy was it aint somthing to go "lol we kicked their ass" at...
@woodstock1330 I, like many people, get pissed off at hollywood & other branches of media overplaying & exagerrating things (like Vietnam war) just to make it seem more intense or dramatic. Can you honestly say 71 dead is not a lot? If your going to make a film based on a non-fictional battle you may as well do realistically; its insulting to the soldiers who fought in it. Its like saying "71 dead is not enough to sell a film, so we are just going to say only 1/3 survived" Still a good movie
@liamag92 But here again you're assuming that "Hollywood" cares about something other than entertaining people and making money. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm only pointing out that you're expecting too much from a multi-billion dollar industry built on cheap shots.
@woodstock1330 Don't be an idiot. If someone like hollywood is going to flash "based on a true story" and than bust out a movie with totally fucked up facts then it is going to piss people off. Its very annoying when people watch dumb shit like 300 then source it as fact. Flare is one thing total BS is another.
@Warpath2198 I think you're missing my point, but then, considering you've now sunk to childish name calling, it doesn't surprise me much.
(And seriously, who sources 300 as fact? I'd like to meet this person. It's an action movie, based on a graphic novel that might loosely be called historical fiction.)
If you're looking for an accurate portrayal of events, watch a documentary (and even then, good luck).
@liamag92 sometimes yer if their too badly wounded to make it out alive you have to leave them plus they go down in the casualty statistics if they get wounded so perhaps they meant the ones that came down wernt casualties
I think the point the movie was trying to convey was that you are given a very intimate view into the souls of 14 invididuals, of whom only 3 are alive at the end of the film.
@liamag92 vietnam had a lot more vicious hand to hand than most WW2 battles in fact the Austrailians had one of the most brutal engagements of their military history in vietnam
@liamag92 Have to Agree with this comment, These Vietnam films were given the hollywood treatment alright, the loss of life and destruction was high but it was never on the same level as world war 2 a war that ended with a single bomb wiping 50,000 people off the face of the earth in a split second and followed up 3 days later with another.
I guess the public hungry for more vietnam war films caused this to happen, a huge loss of life happened during the Vietnam war but not at this level
My pet peve with Vietnam movies has always been that the story and character development takes a backseat to pro or anti-war propaganda you don't know the characters as people only as soldiers in Vietnam. Yes the war was mentally intense for the grunts on the ground because the VC could come from anywere and then vanish back into the jungle, and when there were battles they were indeed intense but they were not on the scale of battles in world war II
US: 71 KIA, 372 wounded. NVA/VC: 630 (estimated) killed out of a garrison of about 800 troops
The press were the ones who named Hill 937 Hamburger Hill, when someone asked why infantry were being used as the primary assault force instead of firepower, and an error in Life Magazine who ran photos of 241 US service men killed in one week, and the American public thought they were all from Hill 937 when only 5 were killed there, the rest were killed in other battles
Though Wikipedia is a great resource (I just making a guess where you got those numbers from) the numbers you used do not tell the entire story. Hollywood is going to make things "BIGGER" just to attract people to watch their movies, but the quote given in the trailer is a bit closer to the truth than you think. Though the US ARMY committed 1800 troops to the battle, the main attack force that assaulted the hill appears to be the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry of the 101st Airborne.
The 3/187th had 39 KIAs and 290 wounded (out of the total approx 71 KIAs and 372 wounded). Before the final assault on the hill the 3/187th had sustained approximately 60% casualties, so I'm sure the casualties sustained in the final assault push that casualty rate closer to 66% for the 3/187th, a rate much higher than the other Battalions involved. That quote seems a bit more realistic now, don't you think?
@deleond2 No I don't. I think it is 'hollywood reality'. "600 men went up, less than a third came down" that statement insinuates that over 400 men died - whether you like it or not, it does - because the wounded men did come down, they survived when you hear "didn't come down" you think of dead guys not guys with a fracture. Considering that only 71 KIA, no one is every going to be able to properly argue the US did lose 2/3 of its force.
Of course it is HOLLYWOOD REALITY, and I clearly understand what they are trying to insinuate. At least HOLLYWOOD got the 2/3rds right. SO the quote is partly true. HOLLYWOOD is trying to exaggerate the #dead, you appear to be downplaying the heavy losses sustained by the 101st. The truth is somewhere in the middle.
@deleond2 well except the friendly fire incident part. You know where the movie, the Huer helicopters that shot down so much friendless( i mean explain to me how door gunner cannot see the troops), it was Cobras in real life that actually killed and wounded friendlies.
Well 71 KIA...then by adding the proper WIA and MIA figures we arrive at a total casualty list of about 426 so they got it right. Less than a third came down as an effective fighting force.
@Redlegpete FFS. I wrote that half a year ago and am still getting people trying to debate me. Are you being serious? "Less than a third came down as an effective fighting force" - that makes NO SENSE whatsoever. They said 'came down' as in they were left dead on the hill, injured mean went home lol. Hollywoody = bullshit, you + hollywood = eating it up.
@liamag92 It makes total sense if you were ever in the military. THat's Hollywood and they were obviously engaged in some hyperbole to sell the movie, but then they didn't elaborate on what they meant by "came dowm". If I was sitting in a briefing and one of my officers told me that I would have asked him to elaborate.
I know hollywood from reality, and its still a good movie,....the moniker "Redleg" means something aka Artillery Officer....Happy Memorial Day
OK 71 KIA, but hundreds of wounded and maimed. By this time in history as many as 5 to 10 are wounded for every one KIA. Military records on KIA also never include those that died later in hospital. They are always listed as WIA in battle records.
@liamag92 Why dont you go back and do some research before you start criticizing the actual men who were there and lost there lives on that hill. The casualties on that hill were higher than an estimate of 71
@liamag92 I don't know about the stats but my dad was a Vietnam Veteran who said that of all the movies about the war he saw this was the most realistic
One of the best war films ever made. It's also one of the only films about Vietnam that shiws our boys in a positive light. An absolute must see, along with full metal jacket
Not a bad movie but Vietnam as a film subject had pretty much jumped the shark by the time this movie was originally released in the late summer of 1987.
I think this film was great, especially how it touched on the fact that the soldiers felt betrayed by the people back in the USA, who were all ignorant to the pains these people went through. Not all people who fought in that war slaughtered indiscriminately like they did at My Lai, not many people remember that.
This is exactly what kinda war the globalists want. Even killing with great losses on both sides for meaningless pieces of land. Entire platoons dead for every bush and tree. The vietnam war was NEVER intended to be won nor lost. It was intended to be sustained for as long as possible, enabling massive weapons and arms sales, funding both sides of the war and depopulating the world as a bonus. WAKE UP PEOPLE! A New World Order is rising. Do your own research

@wafertastic It's good. But really unrealistic tbh. "600 men went up, less than a third went done", bullshit its Vietnam not fuckin WWII. A lot of Vietnam films try and make it look like WWII, yeh it was intense but I mean here is the stats for the real Battle of Hamburger Hill:
1,800 US participated in battle
~71 KIA

woodstock1330 1 year ago
@woodstock1330 I, like many people, get pissed off at hollywood & other branches of media overplaying & exagerrating things (like Vietnam war) just to make it seem more intense or dramatic. Can you honestly say 71 dead is not a lot? If your going to make a film based on a non-fictional battle you may as well do realistically; its insulting to the soldiers who fought in it. Its like saying "71 dead is not enough to sell a film, so we are just going to say only 1/3 survived" Still a good movie
liamag92 1 year ago
@liamag92 But here again you're assuming that "Hollywood" cares about something other than entertaining people and making money. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm only pointing out that you're expecting too much from a multi-billion dollar industry built on cheap shots.
woodstock1330 1 year ago
@woodstock1330 Don't be an idiot. If someone like hollywood is going to flash "based on a true story" and than bust out a movie with totally fucked up facts then it is going to piss people off. Its very annoying when people watch dumb shit like 300 then source it as fact. Flare is one thing total BS is another.

@Warpath2198 I think you're missing my point, but then, considering you've now sunk to childish name calling, it doesn't surprise me much.
(And seriously, who sources 300 as fact? I'd like to meet this person. It's an action movie, based on a graphic novel that might loosely be called historical fiction.)
If you're looking for an accurate portrayal of events, watch a documentary (and even then, good luck).

@liamag92 Have to Agree with this comment, These Vietnam films were given the hollywood treatment alright, the loss of life and destruction was high but it was never on the same level as world war 2 a war that ended with a single bomb wiping 50,000 people off the face of the earth in a split second and followed up 3 days later with another.
I guess the public hungry for more vietnam war films caused this to happen, a huge loss of life happened during the Vietnam war but not at this level
kevinturvy 10 months ago
@kevinturvy
My pet peve with Vietnam movies has always been that the story and character development takes a backseat to pro or anti-war propaganda you don't know the characters as people only as soldiers in Vietnam. Yes the war was mentally intense for the grunts on the ground because the VC could come from anywere and then vanish back into the jungle, and when there were battles they were indeed intense but they were not on the scale of battles in world war II

Total Losses
US: 71 KIA, 372 wounded. NVA/VC: 630 (estimated) killed out of a garrison of about 800 troops
The press were the ones who named Hill 937 Hamburger Hill, when someone asked why infantry were being used as the primary assault force instead of firepower, and an error in Life Magazine who ran photos of 241 US service men killed in one week, and the American public thought they were all from Hill 937 when only 5 were killed there, the rest were killed in other battles
snakes3425 9 months ago
@liamag92
Though Wikipedia is a great resource (I just making a guess where you got those numbers from) the numbers you used do not tell the entire story. Hollywood is going to make things "BIGGER" just to attract people to watch their movies, but the quote given in the trailer is a bit closer to the truth than you think. Though the US ARMY committed 1800 troops to the battle, the main attack force that assaulted the hill appears to be the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry of the 101st Airborne.

AWohlford97 7 months ago
@liamag92
The 3/187th had 39 KIAs and 290 wounded (out of the total approx 71 KIAs and 372 wounded). Before the final assault on the hill the 3/187th had sustained approximately 60% casualties, so I'm sure the casualties sustained in the final assault push that casualty rate closer to 66% for the 3/187th, a rate much higher than the other Battalions involved. That quote seems a bit more realistic now, don't you think?
deleond2 9 months ago 7
@deleond2 No I don't. I think it is 'hollywood reality'. "600 men went up, less than a third came down" that statement insinuates that over 400 men died - whether you like it or not, it does - because the wounded men did come down, they survived when you hear "didn't come down" you think of dead guys not guys with a fracture. Considering that only 71 KIA, no one is every going to be able to properly argue the US did lose 2/3 of its force.
liamag92 8 months ago
@liamag92
Of course it is HOLLYWOOD REALITY, and I clearly understand what they are trying to insinuate. At least HOLLYWOOD got the 2/3rds right. SO the quote is partly true. HOLLYWOOD is trying to exaggerate the #dead, you appear to be downplaying the heavy losses sustained by the 101st. The truth is somewhere in the middle.
deleond2 8 months ago
@deleond2 well except the friendly fire incident part. You know where the movie, the Huer helicopters that shot down so much friendless( i mean explain to me how door gunner cannot see the troops), it was Cobras in real life that actually killed and wounded friendlies.
Hperman09 8 months ago
Well 71 KIA...then by adding the proper WIA and MIA figures we arrive at a total casualty list of about 426 so they got it right. Less than a third came down as an effective fighting force.
Redlegpete 8 months ago
@Redlegpete FFS. I wrote that half a year ago and am still getting people trying to debate me. Are you being serious? "Less than a third came down as an effective fighting force" - that makes NO SENSE whatsoever. They said 'came down' as in they were left dead on the hill, injured mean went home lol. Hollywoody = bullshit, you + hollywood = eating it up.
liamag92 8 months ago
@liamag92 It makes total sense if you were ever in the military. THat's Hollywood and they were obviously engaged in some hyperbole to sell the movie, but then they didn't elaborate on what they meant by "came dowm". If I was sitting in a briefing and one of my officers told me that I would have asked him to elaborate.
I know hollywood from reality, and its still a good movie,....the moniker "Redleg" means something aka Artillery Officer....Happy Memorial Day
Redlegpete 8 months ago
OK 71 KIA, but hundreds of wounded and maimed. By this time in history as many as 5 to 10 are wounded for every one KIA. Military records on KIA also never include those that died later in hospital. They are always listed as WIA in battle records.

I think this film was great, especially how it touched on the fact that the soldiers felt betrayed by the people back in the USA, who were all ignorant to the pains these people went through. Not all people who fought in that war slaughtered indiscriminately like they did at My Lai, not many people remember that.
