  • Let it be known to all that read these words..bigots? and non-bigots alike..never have we had in the anals of history, a group of braver men. These incredibly brave African American warriors were laughed at, mocked, even physically beaten by their own white countrymen. They endured all this yet prevailed to serve their country! So racists, bow your heads in shame! For we shall never see the likes of these? extraordinary supermen ever again... the legendary elite warriors... The Tuskegee Airmen!

  • i saw this movie on the 19th of feburary and i think i was the only one in the audience of 10 people crying like a 3 year old who didnt get the shiny red toy car. best movie ever!

  • great movie i saw it 3 times

  • @greenwoodtea Hell yea, I saw it 3 times also!

  • i saw this incredible movie today, it was very well done,sad, but shows allot of things in life. These men are so brave with courage and team work. It is amazing and even today I look at the army with high honor cause of this

  • There is no way I could have went to war for America back then!! I'm lost for words!!!!!!

  • BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!

  • This movie was so good.

  • Comment removed

  • Why are we watching the Tuskegee Airmen again. It's not like it needed a sequel.

  • @Edison73100 It is nothing like Tuskegee Airmen the HBO film. I have the DVD. That's not an action film and is mainly based on them being victimized and mistreated. Also very good but not a lot of dog fights. I LOVE THEM BOTH!!!

  • Seems a bit too much patriotic

  • Goosebumps everytime i watch this :D

  • luftwaffe was basically gone by the time black pilots showed up, and yes, black pilots/planes was shot down even then.

  • No it's great, and honestly i have no idea how it is doing bad. It was crazzzyy good. Here in Va the official opening hosted a member of the Tuskegee airman who stated and i quote " Very Accurate hard to watch"

  • hope you guys realize that this movie is doing horrible. Ive heard constantly not to make the mistake of paying to watch it. Apparently its pretty bad :(

  • @xswijnji It's not bad, the only reason they hate it is because it's not 100% historically accurate and they use a lot of CG.

  • @xswijnji No I saw it and it was quite good in my opinion.

  • @xswijnji Not true!! it came in second to underworld the first week and fourth place the second with sold out theaters all over. LOOK IT UP!!!

  • Ne-yo is in the movie i didnt know that until yesterday when i watche the movie

  • I want to see it for the graphics alone

  • @BobMarleyAndMe100 Agree, oh yeah, and the luftwaffe.

  • just saw this movie yesterday..it was awesome

  • @chunkymunkuy ikr i cant believe light well u know who died!

  • George Lucas needs to make a movie about the Native Americans suffering from the white man, he needs to make a movie of what really happen during slavery time, he needs to make a movie about African-American suffering in America!!

  • RED TAILS: Current box office gross. Domestic Total as of Feb. 3, 2012: $37,823,000 (Estimate) and climbing. The international gross has not even been included. The film gross over seas is doing really though well world wide and also climbing. This film should do extremely well with its DVD release profits. It's at the top of the list with The Grey,Underworld Awakening. It really wasn't a bad movie to enjoy. Not a major blockbuster but it was actually pretty good.

  • All I know is, if this took place today, the bruthas would have fucking spinners of the wheels of the plane and bling bling all over the place.....This is shit to be proud of way back then.....

  • @chicoescuela1 ?? I think you need to brush up on current events. There are many pilots in the military who are black and they don't have "spinners" on their planes.

  • Dear God, please bless George Lucas abundantly above all that he can ask or even think in Jesus name Amen!

  • @asia2me Why?? Because he happened to direct a movie about black people? I guess that's all anyone needs to do to be considered an anti-racist angel. BTW, Lucas has MILLIONS of dollars... he was "blessed" before he made this, trust me.

  • First of all I would like to say this movie isnt some fictional movie with aliens and made up bad guys.. ITS HISTORY!.... AMERICAN HISTORY.... if you were looking for a fictional movie I suggest people go to blockbuster.. and pick up independence day lol u may find it more interesting..

  • @TheChosen25 FAG!

  • Guys this is the movie

  • from a time when ppl cared about the laws and rights our fathers fought 4

  • i got chills watching this trailer

  • BLACK JESUS BLESS GEORGE LUCAS

  • method man

  • Definitely going to see this tonight !! :)

  • Me and my friends always chant the "we fight" part

  • I hope you guys arent talking shit about this movie because it has african american actors because that shit aint cool bro

  • @zamotzeeman

    It has nothing to do with the black actors, most people talk shit about this movie because it's just a bad movie.

  • Don't listen to these fags the movie was awesome

  • Did the costume department forget to keep Cuba Gooding Jr.'s pipe lit? I saw no smoke coming from it.

  • My advice is to avoid this film. It has good intentions, but honestly, it is a really bad movie. 1) it has more cliches than airplanes, 2) it makes no effort to try and be different, 3) the dialogue is awful, 4) important plot points are completely ignored, 5) the racial tension scenes are insultingly childish, and perhaps worst of all, it takes an amazing story of brave, heroic men and turns it into a giant live-action cartoon. These men deserved a great film. Read the actual history instead.

  • Save your money. The movie sucked and I felt like it would never end. Big time let down.

  • @Cmill1221 Yeah because the lead characters in the movie were black actors portraying the heroics of the historical Red Tails. The majority of movies goers $30 million later seem to enjoy it black or white etc.

  • @Underdog2020USA No the movie sucked! Just like wind talkers. are you going to bring Native Americans into it also? The movie was BAD! i was hoping for more but the whole thing was a drag! and i love the part where one plane destroyed an entire battleship. So stupid. and Cuba with that pipe just looked uncomfortable the whole time. i was expecting more and was let down. I thought George Lucas had more in him. Save your money and watch it on FX in 6 months along with the Transporter 2.

  • @Cmill1221 Your entitle to your opinion on Red Tails. I enjoyed the movie and I wouldn't go as far to that it completely sucked. I felt that it was good movie,but NOT "excellent" movie. I loved Transporter 2 (Jason Statham) And Red Tails will be awesome in FX. Thanks for your input.

  • Im a German and i Love that Movie !!!!!!

  • DAMN i got goosebumps only from watching a 20 sec part of the trailer!

    i am so going to watch this... it rose my adrenaline to the top!!!

  • I wonder if the Tuskegee Airmen "Fight Song" will be sung during the movie.

    Its really inspirational.

    Fighting Men of the 99th! *Salute*

  • Wheres Mace Windu

  • Some of the enemy planes they shot up would limp away and go down out of their sight so there was no credit. Their duty was to stay with the bombers, not chase the enemy so you could see it crash. They are probably all aces and don't even know it.

  • @donteverlietome Wow, were you there?

  • @SuperThrasher77 if whites didnt do so much wrong to other races guilt would never be an issue! Lies my ass!!! GREAT MOVIE!!!

  • @reshiaphoo1 make that SOME whites and I'll agree with you.

    I saw the first version made in 1995. Thought it was great. I'll go see this in a few days.

  • Good movie

  • 1:24 listen to the explosion carefully. It's Chewbacca!!

  • That movie was beast!

  • They did to make more movies like this

  • Where the fuck is the skrillex trailer

  • Finally a channel where Alabama can be respected

  • SCREW THAT!!! This new cat named "Elijah Kelley" gave the ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY best performance out of all the actors in Red Tails!!!!

    Good Luck Homie!! you did perfectly!!!!

  • Looks awesome

  • this looks like a great piece of work ... a definite must see

  • Comment removed

  • Lucas doing history..It's great!!! The Airmen did not lose one bomber to the Luftwaffe and that's an amazing story in itself for people considered not capable by forces in the government. Add to that the fact that most of the married Airmen had wives that were licensed pilots.

  • @SmakitNicely Actually the T.Airmen themselves reserched that claim and found that they did loose 25 totalled bombers out of the total 200 escorts. I thought it was admirable for them to make sure the truth was told.

  • eh, I'll pass. looks like shit, honestly. there hasn't been a truly GREAT ww2 film in years.

  • @MrOiManDudeGuy I think it looks like a relatively decent dogfight movie, but it'll be hard to beat the WWI movie "Flyboys". That one kicked ass.

  • @ThePandaGun That was a really good movie! i was surprised at how good it was! Franco did a great job.

  • So excited for this movie!!!!

  • I dno man this looks like generic bullcrap to me

  • has anyone noticed that cuba gooding jr is holding a gun of some sort on just about every DVD cover he is on

  • yeah, all those conversations took place

    total bullshit

  • OMG!!! They're jacking planes now!?!!

  • @slapstickaction yeah there jacking planes your really stupid lol

  • "Oh good lawd Almighty dey got us flyn deez heayar planes agins dat dey Adof Hitluh, ima fly deez planes gooood deyr mistah uncle sam sir ooww lawd yes we gun do gooodd"

  • Can someone explain how 10 black pilots who shot down 111 planes in late 1944 changed the course of the war?

  • @shamantrainer Yes? I think? I believe these black pilots didn't exactly change the course of the war entirely. But given the opportunities these pilots of that era performed so far beyond what was expected. Flying for the United States Air-Core. All of their heroics have been well documented and confirmed over the years. The course of history has been change now. We have since have excellent black pilots flying F-22 Raptor,F-16 & training Lockheed F-35 Lightning II

  • @shamantrainer they didnt let one bomber escorts get destoyed till 2006 which they turned around and said only 25 ONlY 25 of there bombers were destroyed

  • @shamantrainer they proved that a black man can do anything a white man could do, other branches in the army let african americans to join and many who fought beside them learned that no matter what color a person is, is my brother in arms

  • @teamamerica1996 damn right

  • @teamamerica1996 speak on it

  • @teamamerica1996 really? name a black fighter ace.

    only place a black man is the white mans equall is hollywood films

  • @shamantrainer 10 black pilots???? 111 planes?? WTF!? is that bullshit?!

    there were no black aces (5 planes shot down) in any war, ever!

  • @Szekler11 tuskegee airmen weren't about kills! they were about bringing home bomber crews! so much to the point they would sacrafice themselves for a bomber! It wasn't that they were better fighter pilots...due to the politcal red tape of not letting them participate, they were able to recieve considerable more training than the average white pilot, which would be thrown into combat with just months of training...where as the black pilots got maybe over a year of solid fundamental training.

  • @shamantrainer missing the point. the point was they proved that all americans no matter the race could fight for their country. and it wasn't just 10 the kill counts is from all of the 450 airmen over multiple missions. of course that would mean many of them did not get kills in the air. many pilots do not get kills in the air. that's why being ace take 5 which seems like a very small amount--but it really isn't! Plus their goals were not to be ACE; their goals were to bring home americans

  • Does anyone know the song near 1:33

  • This is going to be soooo awesome!!

  • song name that plays at 1:33 plz

  • Believe it or not, George Lucas spent 23 years trying to get Hollywood to make and release this movie. When it became obvious Hollywood wouldn't do it, George Lucas put up his own money to make it. And then once made, Hollywood wouldn't release the movie. George Lucas ultimately had to put up his own money to also get the movie marketed and released... Sad.

  • @ZazenDada it's just another white guilt movie. all lies

  • @ZazenDada Cuba Gooding Jr stopped by my university and had a special discussion with us, He said pretty much everything you just stated. You got to give Lucas props for using his own money to make the film.

  • @ZazenDada Thank you for posting this!

  • This story looks extra-ordinary!Why wasn't anything done to bring their story to light earlier?It seems a great Injustice?I think this is a must see.

  • @mrrex35 The Tuskegee Airmen. IMDB it. This story has been told a couple of times now.

  • @freelynz What he said, It was a HBO movie which also starred Cuba Gooding Jr. Was more dramatic than Red Tails But still both are good depictions!

  • this movie looks so awsome i have to see this movie!!

  • Oh yeah. I am SO watching this.

  • This looks like it's going to be a great movie to watch! George Lucas films are totally awesome! :)

    Timothy

  • I love the part when he says, "we count the victory when we give wives back their husbands or the father's we give back to their children"! Such a good part tearing but good! I respect every single American who fought in all of the wars America has fought against!

  • What's the exact dated it comes out

  • @puducy562713 1 / 20 / 12 watch it or ill kill you .. lol

  • @TaylorBabexox whore.

  • @imsofuckingcool1 STFU !

  • HOW YOU LIKE TAHT MISTA HITLA

  • Finally we get a air combat movie..better be good

  • This looks stupid to me...George Lucas or not...look like they just took dem Stomp The Yard dudes and made dem Tuskegee Airmen LOL...this suppose to be based on a moment in the 1940's but the stuff they say sound so 2011. "How you like dat Mr. Hitler"? C'mon!

  • @ThaRare1 Seeing as they met with and interviewed extensively with the surviving Tuskegee Airmen, how do you know words like "How do you like dat Mr. Hitler!" weren't actually spoken?

  • @RingSight91 cuz them dudes bought 90 years old now bro, they probably couldn't tell you when the last time they took a leak.

  • @ThaRare1 You can go senile and forget what you ate for breakfast. You don't forget how you talked when you were younger. I'll bet you'll still be talking like you so now when you're 80+...unless you're trilingual like I am in which case all bets are off. Or if you're former-military, like I am, there are certain things done and said which you never forget no matter how long ago they were because some things just can't be forgotten.

  • @ThaRare1 learn english

  • Yeah seeing this one.

  • They finally got this thing out after about six years. There is also a Red Tails movie from 1994 also starring Cuba Gooding JR with Larry Fishburn.

  • So different from the dubstep trailer

  • Cuba Gooding was in The Tuskegee Airmen pbs movie, good to see him in this one aswell.

  • @H3LPLESSALPACA HBO not PBS, LOL.

  • "...oh we are heros of the night, to hell with the axis might FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT fighting 99th. rat-tat rat-tat down in flames they go! The withering fire of the 99th sends them down below!!!"

  • This movie could be good but it's going to get compared to "Tuskegee Airmen" a movie that Cuba Gooding Jr. is also in. "Tuskegee Airmen" happens to be a movie about the same exact group of black airmen.

  • Thank you, Mr. Lucas, for bringing this story to a new generation, the story of these heroic black Americans who were not treated as well as the effing German POW's kept in the South, but still fought bravely for their country. No, I'm not black, nor even much of a liberal, (or conservative for that matter). And thank you veterans of all wars for your service.

    And God Bless the P-51D, this trailer brought tears of joy to my eyes. "P-51 Mustang, Cadillac of the the sky!!!!"

  • It's good to see Cuba Gooding Jr. back on the big screen.

  • At least the flight combat wont be broken up by lightsabre battles

  • It was soo cool I saw at Tuskegee in theaters it was the bomest movie ever at the end of the movie it was sooooooooooo sad

  • Well, It's good to see Bryan Cranston get SOME roles in these Hollywood films. This movie is gonna suck, no one wants to see shitty acting by Terrance Howard and the other scrubby.

  • Looks cool :) .

  • Nice VFX, can't wait, gotta love WW2 flicks.

  • HAMMER DOWN!

    Looks worse than "Pearl Harbor" 

  • this may be a oscar worthy movie just saying

  • This movie is a historical movie about the Tuskegee Airmen. Perhaps in ways much like the King's Speech was for King George the IV. As far as how good it is...we shall see. I am most optimistic. A good to have movie.

  • This makes to type this is the Real Thing people should think & do

  • this doenst look really good, but Im gonna watch it only for the fight scenes

  • BEECHER !

  • looks great!!

  • It's nice to see George Lucas produce something that's not "Star Wars" for a change. Hope this movie's good.

  • Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr.Method Man, in one movie yeah man!

  • @GhostofTahok i feel ya :) cant wait

  • Tuskegee Airmen! Yeah!

  • all of the airplane are CG!!!

  • @VanKrixsz101 Do you want them to destroy real WW2 airplanes? wtf

  • I don't recommend Many Movies, but if your Proud of the heritage you come from, and adversity your fore fathers have suffered to give you the freedoms you have, then support this movie.

  • Looks like a really great story.

  • I hate NE-YO ==- bad actor

  • @VIENTxMExPOMMER i wanna see you try and act out there dumbass, neyo himself admits hes bad but hes working on it, atleast hes humble
