  • Modern assualt rifles have extreme ranges, it would not be that difficult with one.... ffs. However, back then ^ somebody is right about the British. They were trained to fight in formations, standing toe to toe.. they werent prepared for what was to come by the militias here in the States. Men that are always trained and used to formations, will naturally become confused when ambushed from multiple locations. This movie wasn't all inaccurate.

  • An Australian that doesn't like the British? Who knew?

  • just wanted to see whats ULTRA HD!!!

  • so brutal....

  • Mel Gibson said: "This is not historically accurate. In the broad strokes, yes - on other levels, it is sheer fantasy. It's a good thing that historians are going to harangue this and say, 'It's not accurate.' Good. It'll make somebody pick up a book."

    Maybe those viewers of this video who believe the british were dummies should do so - pick up a book on the subject of the war and learn a bit. :)

  • 0:43 i shoot the british soldier with desert eagle

    :P

  • For the love of God we surre...*BOOM*

  • Oh common father they English they deserve it.

  • The Americans won 'cause the British where too busy polishing their tea spoons :)

  • About to? They did.

  • America - The original terrorists.

  • USA WON dumb ass dark prince and Germany LOST WWII how dumb can you be go back to school or stay off the Internet dumb

  • Anybody notice the British soldier at 1:15 that kept running even though his friend got Tomahawked by Mel Gibson and he didn't even realize he was surrounded?

  • Comment removed

  • Perhaps I'm wrong, but one thing that never quite convinced me about this movie is the way the british soldiers behave when being ambushed... I mean, look at that, they seem totally disoriented and without a clue about what to do. Surely they had better preparation than that? Surely someone would have taught them to take cover? Or not? Anyway, it always looks so easy in the movie that I get the feeling not all is quite correct there.

  • @beckerqueiroz I totally agree with you but throughout the film Mel Gibson in all his glory as a director made the British look like fools anyway because for some reason he hates them so he wanted the audience to see them get massacred i guess

  • @Weirdo7310

    Actually he points out near the beginning of the movie that the British are professional open field rifleman. They line up, and fire, again and again with skill and precision.

    That was how people fought back then. It was more like a duel with many more lives.

    Also no one had tried that before (at least in this scenario). And what would you do if you had 5 seconds to respond?

    I"M NOT TRYING TO RAG ON EITHER OF YOU! I just wanted to say something is all. :)

  • @Weirdo7310 maybe mel gibson found out the birtish actors were jewish

  • @Weirdo7310 It's more so not so much a matter of racism or what not, if that's what your implying, if not my apologies. But yeah, it's more so just fueling what the people want to see. We dont want accurate... and to the point historical. The people want to see bloodshed and Mel Gibson covered in it like in Brave Heart. lol.

  • @beckerqueiroz The British Army was never trained to fight against guerrilla warfare. They were trained in open field, line warfare. So, when they are attacked like that, they don't know what to do. They were never trained for it.

  • @sarge958 Hmm, is that a fact? Maybe they had no proper academy training, but they ought to be experienced enough, having fought all kinds of wars against all kinds of peoples. Maybe they wouldn't be able to 'follow the book', but damn, they were british soldiers! I find it hard to believe they would just stand in the middle of nothing and get killed. It is very unlikely, not matter what.

  • @beckerqueiroz Perhaps they seem so disoriented precisely because they were ambushed. I mean, they would'nt know where the attack was coming from..so were probably looking all around the spot their ambushers. As for their preparation, those were the early days of guns..so their preparation must have been primitive at best.

  • @architcooldude Well, those were certainly NOT the early days of guns, and their preparation was by no means primitive. Look into the matter and you will end up being forced to agree.

  • @beckerqueiroz My point is, they look so disoriented BECAUSE they were ambushed, that is, taken by surprise.

  • @beckerqueiroz The British were ALWAYS used to line formation fighting not hit and run ambushes like shown.Thats why they act the way they do the movie is actually semi accurate when it came to the ambushes.

  • @Thefirefighter2631 Maybe you should review whatever knowledge you possess on the subject and correct it.;)

  • @beckerqueiroz i agree

  • @beckerqueiroz the militia fired at the officers first to make sure the British line infantry would be disoriented and defencless, back then it was all about discipline and organised fire, if no one is there to give those key elements, the battle is lost.

  • @beckerqueiroz not really the british only knew how to go muzzle to muzzle in open feilds not forest fighting

  • @ww2guy100 Ermm try our Rifle Units like the Royal Green Jackets, the first troops to utilize the concept of camoflauge uniforms and expert skirmishers and Light Infantry like the 52nd of Foot (of Waterloo fame). The Line Infantry and Grenadier Companies may have fought muzzle to muzzle but the LI and Rifles did not.

  • @Hampshirelad91 well im just starting to study about the war i still have much to learn just that the first battles were fought

  • @beckerqueiroz there wasn't much "taking cover" back then.

  • @beckerqueiroz It might be true. the militia were taught in real life to kill British commanders to confuse the troops and also i don't if the British ever had experience with guerrilla warfare before which might help to better explain why they act clueless

  • @beckerqueiroz

    disorganized...clueless, inexperienced = words to describe british troops at the battle of monagheila

    indians cut them to pieces

  • @beckerqueiroz Normal troops like that were taught to fight in lines and listen to officer's orders, rather than think for themselves.

  • @beckerqueiroz This movie is kinda idealized. But according to what I've learned about War for Independence, British soldiers was shocked by guerilla tactics of militia. They were trained to fight on open field, formed in ranks and firing large salvos, then make bayonet charge. But militias were ambushing them mostly in forests, where British weren't able to conduct such combat they were trained.

  • @beckerqueiroz Actually, British soldiers, trained to fire in formations, were much less accurate in dispersed combat than militiamen, which were mostly hunters, hunting all life in forests around and able to master their rifles - in 7th August, 1777, British general Simon Fraser, riding around on horse and encourageing his men, was killed by a man named Tim Murphy from range of nearly 275 meters by Kentucky long rifle. Quite a performance - even with modern assault rifle, it would be difficult.

  • @RayPall i believe he said something like they couldnt hit an elephant from this range and to stop running from one bullet and what will they do when the whole regiment started to shoot at them, then he got picked off ahahahha

  • @Weirdo7310 Maybe that Tim Murphy was historically first true sniper x))

    But even British were astonished by accuracy of US militiamen. Some Brit said that they were able to hit a card nine times by ten shots from range of 150 yards (about 140 meters). Combine that with knowledge of terrain and deep forests and you have bloody trap for British soldiers.

    In fact, militamen were fighting like today - individually seeking cover, relocating between each shot and avoiding combat in open field.

  • @Weirdo7310 That was John Sedgwick in the American Civil War. He was a major General in the Union.(highest ranking officer to die in the American Civil war) He was shot from 900 meters away and it was a head shot.

  • @beckerqueiroz He may of over done the confusion that the British had, but they had never faced this kind of warfare and did not have really any great plans to stop ambushes. They were used to just standing in a line and firing at another line of men.

  • @beckerqueiroz The British thought that hiding and taking cover was cowardly. Thats what the Patriots used to their advantage. One rule of warfare back then next to "Dont shoot the officer' was "Do not hide" Thats also how they nearly lost the French and Indian war.

  • @beckerqueiroz It's because the British weren't familiar with Guerrilla warfare. They were trained in line formations, and only in line formations. Ambushing was a totally new concept in the civilized world that the Americans adapted from the Indians.

  • Only reason why usa won (I wouldnt even say they won). Is because Great Britain was too busy going to war against France. usa wasnt even a super power and still isnt a super power.

  • @DarkPrinceNH5570 Man what do they teach you kids in school these days...my god

  • @DarkPrinceNH5570 Are you stupid? "You wouldn't even say we won." If we hadn't have won, we would still be a British Colony you dip shit. Also, yes we are a super power. So it Britain, China, Russia, and a few others.

  • Whatever... usa got thier asses kicked in Vietnam like this but with better weapons and strategy. Now they know whats up.

    Forming their little firebases in the jungles and shit. Charlie whooped their asses!

    Germany won WW2!!! Not going to explain that one either. Holy shit... usa is just in a world of hurt ever since they got disowned by the Royal families.

  • I love how at the first scene the redcoats are thinking 'hmm, I can hear a Frenchman, our greatest enemy, yelling "take aim" out here in an area perfect for an ambush whilst we are carrying supplies vital to the war effort. Nah, it's nothing.'

  • Perhaps, we will never know. You all must realize the british executed people who didn't pay their taxes and other reasons, and you think shooting men who surrendered (Whom would run away and report the Americans positions to their superiors) is wrong? OH and guerilla warfare is much more effective than standing in THE OPEN and firing at your enemy shoulder to shoulder, ripe for snipers. Suck it up we were the more superior force.

  • Comment removed

  • assholes. slaughtering men who surrendered already. 

  • @Oesterreich1156 The British slaughtered Colonists if they didn't pay their taxes. They also killed wounded Americans. I'd say that this is justified. Even during this movie, they burned down a church full of townsfolk. Who's the assholes again?

  • @sarge958 You shouldn't take it for granted that history was just like in the movies... Maybe you would find it interesting to check this link: studythepastdotcom/patriotrevi­ewdotpdf where they analyse the historical accuracy (should I say, inaccuracy) of The Patriot. The farm and church burning episodes are invented and fit into the movie only to make you hate the british even more.

  • do the bit when the shitty Americans soldiers cant beat British in line formation haha hiding and popping up was the only way you could win in a line formation Britain was superior

  • @lostlaces Duh dipshit why do think we started doing that? 

  • @lostlaces u mean the part out side the families home at night

  • @Weirdo7310 nope the bit near the start when he is giving medical aid to both british and american soldier then the british officers come and shoot all the injured americans and thank him for aiding the british men

  • @lostlaces ok ill do it as soon as possible im having some trouble with my computer atm

  • @weirdo730 do the scene where gabriel dies, like the whole ambush part

  • @TheZonixx yeah sure ill do it now actually i forgot about that ahah

  • IF ANYONE WANTS A CERTAIN SCENE JUST GIVE ME AND INBOX AND ILL DO IT FOR YOU

  • Give ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!!! AARRGGHH!!!

  • ambushes where you fire on the ambushees from both sides are twice as good as regular onesided ones and will never result in you lighting your own guys on the other side of the target the fuck up. very edumacative movie.

  • @immortalass lol I was thinking the same thing.

  • one man {actor} of the militiA is greek

  • +THank you for uplading it!!

    My class just finished seeing the movie and, when our teacher fast foward to the good parts, it stopped at where the french guy said "FIRE!!!"

    LOL, the whole class cracked up, everyone said replay!!!

    And then the teacher did a french accent...lol

    So i was tryin to find that part, and i can't stop replaying!

    IT's so funny!

  • fucking sick movie

  • really lol "perhaps we will never know" they were just shouting "we serrender!"

  • Fuck the 18th century Brits.....haha

  • @legomyeggo713

    It was British fighting British. Screenwriter Robert Rodat is an anti-British bigot.

  • Comically, had the british been able to get across the bridge at 1:07, they would have found a visitor center and parking lot.

  • to hell with you and to hell with the french army, we don't need em we got benjamin martin and we know what he done to the french.....oooohhh major diss.

  • @coolshoesmaster ahahaha yeah

  • @coolshoesmaster lol yeah! And that is the remarkable thing. From nothing to something to win!

  • Dont you just love pathetic yank fiction!! What a load of bollocks this film is! More racist rhetoric from a discredited and filthy drunk called gibson. He will rot in Hell!

  • @MrMickroach I can tell you're British

  • @freighter014 A compliment, thank you!

  • @MrMickroach Not sure if compliment, because that was perhaps the most British comment I have ever seen on youtube

  • @freighter014 Strange boy!

  • @MrMickroach Bollocks!

  • @freighter014 I am sure no one is interested in what is between your ears

  • @MrMickroach ???

  • What a film

  • kill them!!!kill them all!!!Everyone!!!We take noooooooooooooooo prisoners!!!!aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaa

  • Why do they have yank accents?

  • I find it funny how its alright to rise and wage war against a taxing king back then, but its wrong today to want to rise and wage war against a taxing Washington D.C. Well like I always say, "A revolution has a 50% of victory or failure, but has a 100% of becoming what it once rebelled against". Overall thanks for the upload.

  • @GSPatton89 no problem would u be able to sub me? ill do it back

  • Comment removed

  • @scorpionfang Well you the people for starters. I alone can only influence and do so much, but united by fellow Americans through massive well organized numbers  an hold the key to make Washington D.C. shit their pants at the face of the average American citizen. :)

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @GSPatton89 it is NOT wrong and i repeat NOT wrong to revolt. the united states government will be overthrown within the next 50 years. with the economy becoming worse each day, the normal american family being taxed to death will say ENOUGH. while my family is doing fine, many of my friends family's are struggling. there will be a restoration of the constitution. and the people will once again rule the united states. mark my words.

  • @Grunt922 I would not mind storming the the South Lawn with fellow my fellow Americans. Personally to me Washington needs to learn its place under the boot of the American people pressing on the fed's neck.

  • @GSPatton89 damn right.

  • @GSPatton89 Go to hell conservative scum

  • @MysticFangz Actually I'm a Libertarian and you are one to talk you Left-Wing nutjob protesting against Wall Street when it is Washington who are spending billions in tax payers money that put us into debt. As usual you blame the rich and want them to be taxed more when the rich already pay more in taxes than anyone else.

  • @Grunt922 I agree with you sir, with our current situation at hand and all the debt and failure of the government to take action, it looks like a French Revolution style takeover could happen at any time. The question is when will people grow tired and decide to rebel against the government, cause I'm locking all my doors to my house when that day arrives.

  • @BFtagRETRIBUTION ill be one of the people leading the charge into the Whitehouse ;)

  • @Grunt922 Really? Alright could lower the taxes for me then, personal property tax is killing me right now! LOL

  • @Grunt922 oh my god finally someone gets it.

  • @vanishing15 more and more people realize whats happening everyday, its only a matter of time :)

  • @GSPatton89 Because the founding fathers back then were fucking greedy hypocrites.And I'm from th US ;)

  • @GSPatton89 Great Britain was under the string of the Rothschild, now, Washington D.C is under the string of Rothschild and other bank cartels since 1913. Andrew Jackson kick their ass too when he killed 2nd bank of the U.S but it was resurrected. It's time for the new generation of Americans to continue the war against the real enemy: Federal reserve bank and it's corporate cronies. Maybe next time they need a bill to keep any private banks in the country, permanently.

  • @GSPatton89

    Well once all the good guys die off, corruption will return, reason why Jefferson or w/e said you need one every 20 years or so.
