[@billburkett5536]

I always tell people that the Fury crew is exactly how men act in combat. The dynamics and personalities of the crew are extremely accurate for a small, cohesive unit. You have the strong, unmovable leader (War Daddy); the quiet, stoic guy (Gordo); the spiritual ("religious") voice of reason (Bible); the all-out a-hole, but guy that gets the job done regardless of what people think about him (Grady); and the new, timid guy being molded into a product of his environment. THIS movie is an excellent example of how men act in war. The white horse, to me, symbolizes the purity of life in war. It also symbolizes the brutality that man can do to each other, but the empathy and gentleness of man towards beings besides man. Side note: As for the scene where Machine shoots the German soldier in the back at the behest of War Daddy - the German soldier isn't eligible for prisoner of war (POW) status. This is based on the American soldier finding the German wearing a U.S. soldiers coat; under the Geneva Convention it is prohibited to make use of the "......insignia or uniforms of the adverse Parties while engaged in attacks.....or military operations". It's also referred to as "Perfidy".

Most anti-tank mines during WW2 were magnetic. Steel tracks would pull on a magnetic cap inside the mine detonating it. In theory, a human stepping on it would not detonate the mine. Anti-personel mines are spring loaded. Some, like the bouncing betty, would even fly up at the height of the chest or head and then detonate.

[@edm240b9]

Betties were worse than that. Most of them detonated at crotch level. Having an AP mine that intentionally takes out your junk is just a different kind of cruel.

[@bwilliams463]

'Fury' is about as historically-accurate as a Happy Meal box, but the outstanding performances - particularly John Bernthal as 'Coonass' - make it exciting and very compelling. The thing that's important about Norman is that, as frightened as he is, he never (apart from one early freeze-up) refuses to fight. In the scene where he finds part of Red's face in the tank, he dives out to puke, but then he climbs right back in. You can be brave and scared at the same time.

[@TravisKastl-ui9mk]

Remember they mentioned tracer rounds so they could see where they were shooting. That's why there are flashes when they shoot.

[@bootstrapbaron2931]

Not necessary. Even when you DON'T use tracers, flashes will still be there because of the fire inside the barrel of a gun that propels the projectile, and the sole purpose for which soldiers use flash-eliminators/flash-hiders to prevent muzzle flash and risk being spotted by enemies. And a flash can also be there because of the projectile scraping against the walls of the barrel, but they're more of sparks than a flash.

[@geniusjohn8280]

@@bootstrapbaron2931 I am not talking about flashes at the barrel, I am talking about flashes illuminating the path of the bullets. Why do you think they use tracers? Some reacters comment something to the effect that it looks like they are shooting Star Wars blasters or lasers and I think that is because of the tracers not muzzle flash.

[@phoenixmichaels]

Even though they didn't utilize sloped armor, the German Tiger Tank had an astounding 100MM thick frontal turret armor, which is why you see tank rounds bouncing right off of it rather than penetrating. The best way to effectively kill it was to shoot it in the ass. It also had a massive and fearsome 88MM cannon. Tigers were expensive and tedious to build, and the Germans didn't have near enough of them. They were also prone to break down: as many as 40% of them were being repaired at any given time.

[@ronmaximilian6953]

1945, the United States and United Kingdom had high velocity armor-piercing rounds which could pierce the frontal armor of a tiger tank if fired from a long barreled 76mm like that of Fury. Of course, in the real world, a concealed German tank would take out the vehicle with the best anti-tank gun first.

[@bootstrapbaron2931]

That's because of the tank being so damn heavy of it's armour and protection, and its gasoline engine, the *Maybach HL230 P45 V-12* being insufficient to support the vehicle's speed, maneuverability and reliability, and this is the reason why tanks like Tigers, King Tigers, Panthers, Sturmtigers, Sturmpanthers, Jagdtigers and Jagdpanthers were so prone to malfunctions, engine-overheating, engine-breakdowns and mechanical failures anytime and anywhere, although they really packed a punch when facing allied or soviet tanks, in terms of range, firepower armour.

[@TommyPons]

The Tiger would have wasted all 4 in less than 90 seconds.

[@Ozai75]

@@TommyPons No it wouldn't have. Normal Shermans with the normal 75mm gun that they had could penetrate the front of a Tiger I at 500 yards *easily* and did so in the times they actually fought. The Uparmed Fury could penetrate it at over 1000 yards. Fury is very loosely based off of British Firefly tank, and they routinely crushed the best of the German armor. Like one of the posters further upwards in this thread the entire family of Tiger/Panther tanks almost comically broke down all the time because either their suspension failed utterly or their engine burned out trying to move that entire honking piece of Metal. A Sherman (76mm) had a reasonable chance of dealing with a tiger from a bit over 1500m which was a fairly long range in WWII and in Europe. At a 1000m or less it was almost a guaranteed penetration on a non glancing shot. (Which by the way was *4* times as far away as the engagement was portrayed at) Another thing to remember is that two of the tanks would've flanked well out to the left and the right of the Tiger with the Fury heading at it straight away. It would've been outflanked and destroyed in a matter of moments. The Tiger's gun couldn't even rotate 45 Degrees in less than 60 seconds. Also with the advent of the Pershing it nearly had a perfect record against the higher end German Tanks.

[@TommyPons]

@Ozai75 This is a perfectly running Tiger. The Tiger, with its 8.8 would have never had to break cover either. Both the 4th tank and Fury would have been targeted first, trapping the other two as easy kills. This ambush would have been over in a minute before the Allied tanks knew where the shots came from.

[@mikealvarez2322]

A great WW2 movie is HACKSAW RIDGE. It's a true story that captures the violence in fighting the Japanese. It's probably the only movie that had to tone down what the main character actually did because no one would believe it.

[@keithgoddard4192]

How much did Norman change in 1 day? How different were Gordo and the rest before doing 3 years of this? THAT is the underlying point of this movie, in my opinion.

[@edm240b9]

15:05 that is an MG42 machine gun, the standard German machine gun in WWII. Allied soldiers nicknamed it “Hitler’s Buzzsaw” because of the insane rate of fire of 1,200-1,500 RPM. Typical machine gun belts have typically have a tracer round every five shots, this is to help the gunner see where his bursts are landing. Due to the MG42’s ridiculous rate of fire, that’s what the tracers out of the gun look like.

[@Rogers_Ranger]

The unit they saved pinned down was Bravo Company 3rd Battalion 41'st infantry . I was in the last iteration of that unit. We were anti tank specialists.

[@frankdoe4940]

At the end when that young German soldier saw Norman and didn’t say or do anything because a lot of young Germans were drafted and forced into war, he didn’t want to be there anymore than Norman did. According to the history of WW2 not all Germans were Nazis.

Thanks so much T&T! I know this is was a tough watch, but I firmly believe that some movies (and books and poems and these days even games) need to be experienced with a little awe and fear, to endure and come out of the other side of it with the knowledge that some human beings faced that and felt that and did that, and if that can make us a little stronger then great; but if it can help us feel lucky to be alive and (hopefully) luck to be living in a peaceful country during semi-peaceful worldwide times (compared to World Wars) and then let these movies etc power us up and give thanks for each and every day on their behalf. Even if it's just a movie, often they are based upon true events or similar true experiences. I am SO glad I am ageing slowly in this life and this modern world and was not called up during WW1 or WW2 or served my country but faced battle, my heart goes out to all those that have, dead or alive. War movies are powerful for a reason. I feel respect for anyone facing war or acts of war or even acts of violence in any way, combat of this nature would scare the living crap out of me, then (if I survived) haunt me for the rest of my life. I am so thankful that the world has those that take on this burden, willingly or (sadly) sometimes not, so that most of us never need feel this, see this, endure and knightmare these things. Thank You to anyone that has served! Sorry too deep, but I have a friend that tuts and says it's just a made up movie and war action flick, I see it as deeper than that. And what great performances from all the cast here! Did someone seem to catch Jason Isaacs there, I think so anyway :) Thank you both for enduring, it was a certainly a powerful journey!

To answer the question you asked at 33:02 about what the speeds of the tanks were: The Sherman tank (the main tank in the movie that's named "Fury") had a top speed of around 25 MPH. The German Tiger I tank had a similar top speed, but was much larger, had better armament, and shot larger shells.

The ending is somewhat based on the true story of the WW1 British tank "Fray Bentos", which got stuck in the mud and was then attacked by German infantry for over 60 hours. Eventually the crew escaped with one man dead and seven wounded out of the nine man crew.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Typical Hollywood, take a story that happened to Allies and substitute them for Americans. Thanks to Hollywood most Americans think that the USA suffered the biggest losses in bomber crews, dropped the most bombs, put the majority of troops on the beaches in D-Day, provided everything for the invasion, captured an Engima then broke the codes and that they had a special forces capability. The truth doesn't sell tickets in US cinemas.

[@twohorsesinamancostume7606]

Also based on Audie Murphy. He was pissed that the Germans killed his friend so he hopped up and manned the .50 on a burning Sherman Tank and stopped a German attack by himself.

[@JayM409]

The German tank in the film was a real Tiger tank. It was captured intact by the British in North Africa in 1943. It was shipped to Britain for evaluation and is now in the Bovington Tank Museum, as is the tank 'Fury.'. It is the only functioning Tiger tank in the world. All the tanks portrayed are capable of travelling faster that shown, but as they are all museum pieces they weren't allowed to risk damaging them, so they drove them slowly. Both the Tiger and Fury were lent out for the making of the film. For a less stressful war movie, you should watch the war comedy 'Kelly's Heroes.' It stars Clint Eastwood and Donald Sutherland, who just passed away on 20 June.

[@McPh1741]

In real life, a tank like Fury, because it wasn't completely destroyed would have been repaired and return to service. I remember watching a show on The History channel over 20 years ago about American tank crews in WW2. One of the veterans they were interviewing was a tank mechanic. He said they would repair any holes in the armor and clean up, repair and repaint the inside. He also said that they could never get the smell of death out of the tank no matter how many coats of paint they put on.

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

The fact that they were so relatively simple to repair and keep rolling was one of the reasons why they were so actually useful.

There are many types of mines, Anti tank mines DO NOT explode if you walk on top of them because it requires a significant amount of weight to activate them so you could dance on one all day without activating it.

[@saaamember97]

Yes, the shots actually looked like that. Remember, they said "Every fifth round is a tracer?" That glowing bullet is the tracer. When shooting a machine gun, you usually cannot see where your rounds are hitting, especially in dark conditions or nighttime. You end up wasting a lot of ammo, trying to neutralize a target. The tracer round has a phosphorous end, so that when it is fired it glows all the way to where it finally hits something. Without this tracer round, you would likely never see where you are hitting. Actual tracers were spaced every 3rd to 5th round, depending on how many you had, or what your battle conditions dictated. In this movie, American tracers are red, and the German tracers are green. Hollywood "borrowed" this little factoid, when filming movies like Star Wars.

And yes, that Nazi tank is the only functioning Tiger tank left in the world (though a museum in Britain was working on restoring another one to functional status, dunno if they ever got it working though since they were having to fabricate new parts as they went)...as for it just demolishing US tanks, let's just say the effectiveness of German tanks has been wildly overexaggerated over the years; Germany couldn't build heavy tanks like Tigers in any real numbers and the ones they did build spent more time being repaired than they did in actual use (plus by this time in the war the Shermans would've already been upgraded to the newer 76mm gun like the Fury is shown with, which was more than capable of killing a Tiger tank at range without all the "drive around and shoot them in the ass" stuff). 15:00 Yes, the guns would have looked like that...sort of. In reality, it'd be every 5th round was a tracer, but for the actual shooting of the movie they loaded every 3rd round as a tracer, as it looks better on camera...so you'd still see the tracers IRL, just not quite as many of them. 33:05 Depends on the exact model, but average top speed for a Sherman tank like Fury would've been somewhere in the 20-ish mph range off-road (if on a road, it was closer to 25-30 mph). For something like a Tiger tank, it tops out at like 12-ish mph off-road (on a road it could get up to around 23-24 mph). If you're looking to continue down the rabbit hole of war movies, might I suggest one or two per major war: World War I: 1917, Beneath Hill 60 World War II: Hacksaw Ridge (Pacific theater), Midway (early naval combat in the Pacific) Korean War: Devotion Vietnam: We Were Soldiers Desert Storm/Desert Shield: Jarhead Somalia: Black Hawk Down Afghanistan: Lone Survivor

[@artbagley1406]

"Fury" is, most assuredly, one of the grimmest, grimiest, gutsy war movies ever made. Saddest thing is that it's also one of the most realistic (not necessarily factual) war movies ever made, too. Did you recognize the actor playing the U.S. officer showing War Daddy (Pitt) the maps where Fury is to be stationed? It's Jason Isaacs, a.k.a. Lucius Malfoy! Quite a different role for him, eh?! You ladies are going to need some R&R after this film! Got your blood pressure way up there! Did any of your neighbors come knocking on your door, reacting to your howls and screams? Your reactions show how well the film-makers and actors did their jobs. Y'all did a great job sticking to your posts, getting all the way through a horrific war movie. Best to you two!

[@hussenabdulmenan3240]

Your reactions were amazing, I Really enjoyed watching It with you.

[@accountablehog]

1st time watching ladies. I love this movie. New sub. 🤘🏻🇺🇸 Btw, they’re called “tracer rounds”.

[@RuntotheMovies]

Thanks for watching with us!

[@toy4871]

Thank you so much for watching with us and thanks for the sub! 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@kevincamp2913]

The character Wardaddy in the film is loosely based on the real tank commander Lafayette Pool. Look up his exploits in just three months fighting the Nazi armored regiments. An absolute legend.

[@sniperboom1202]

As a history nerd i always love explaining scenes in theze movies. While the story is a work of historical fiction it takes from many different stories that happened during the war.

[@nittojoe136]

In an active warzone there's no time for hesitation. This movie does a good job of presenting some challenges of the decisions that need to be made in war

[@edm240b9]

33:07 tank speeds can vary depending on the tank itself and the role it was meant to fulfill. Compared to a car, yes it’s slow. That being said, the M4 Sherman tank was one of the faster tanks that had decent protection and a deadly enough gun on it to deal with most German armor. Top speed was around 30 mph.

[@MarSaMa_21]

Only that particular Sherman variation was enough to deal with Tiger’s armour any other would struggle to even penetrate a side plate same with the Panther. And Shermans weren’t anywhere near being decently protected against anything bigger than the 75mm guns of Panzer-4s. Panthers and Tigers didn’t even need to aim at specific areas of the tank they just needed to land a hit and it would almost 100% be a pen. Honestly Shermans were good only against Panzer-4s, which were basically the most of the tanks Germans had on the western front.

[@ieruza]

When they took down that Tiger tank (the really strong, hard-to-kill one), it was burning up on fire after getting two shots in the rear. It's crew jumped out and got gunned down, along with the tank commander. There's no way someone would be hiding inside that burning tank with a cheeky grin on his face waiting to ambush them... so no need to chuck a grenade in there.

[@BVA-on2ic]

You picked a hell of a movie for your first war movie! You guys should watch the series Band of Brothers. Hands down the best thing to watch on WWII. True stories with interviews of the actual vets that served. Can’t recommend it enough!👍🏼

[@BouillaBased]

"I guess you can use smokes as a payment." Anything that's in short supply--whether it's through rationing as it was for all civilians on any side during the war, or because goods just can't be produced and moved as it was for Germany at this point in the war--is suitable for payment. People were starving, so yes, a chocolate bar could get you just about anything you wanted. Tobacco was rationed and considered a luxury item for civilians, even at the best part of the war.

[@rileytruax766]

yep thats why gordo makes the joke "she'll let you fuck her for a chocolate bar" lol

[@jayo2614]

I love movies like this that really show the reality of war and hopefully make people grateful for those who had to endure this for the world’s safety. Could you even imagine you waiting at home while your husbands went through this.

[@deathninja16]

the bright lights on the bullets is a tracer compound to help see where the bullet is traveling.

[@TheBlackWOLFofDeath1]

So many questions, so little time, lol… The soldiers lined up against the wall were POW (prisoners of war) they weren't processed yet, so were waiting there under armed guard. The tank (fury) was a Sherman tank. Its armor thickness at best was around 75 mm thickness where the tiger tank (German tank) were anywhere from 100 to 200 mm thick, and they were not using armor piercing rounds why it was bouncing off the tank. That's why Fury was trying to get around toward the engine compartment. The armor thickness is weakest/thinnest there. The other downfall of tanks durning that era of tank warfare was the ammo was stacked back toward engine compartment. If hit, it would go up like a blasting cap going off. Probably what happened to that tank that got turret blown off on road (most likely it hit the ammo compartment). The rounds that looked like lasers are called tracer rounds, they help to sight in targets. The reason the commander didn't run were two reasons....1. They were Americans 2. He was told before he went on the mission by his commanding officer, that if the SS got through that crossroad, That a whole platoon that was out of ammo with casualties and trapped behind enemy lines with no way to escape would be completely wiped out. The Grenade he had was a M1 fragmentation grenade. You can pull the pin and it won't go off. You have about 5 seconds after you release the spoon (trigger) before it explodes.

[@SCUZZI87]

You gotta react to “Lone Survivor” next!

[@vexsean3808]

43:33 once you pull the pin you can hold the safety lever down, and the fuse wont light until that lever is thrown and let go of.

[@TyroneVanz]

The mine that hit their tank tracks' was a (teller 42 mine) anti tank mine, can only be triggered by heavy weight pressure, its safe against on foot soldiers.

[@wombatwilly1002]

From the immortal words of "Oddball".The Tiger has one weakness it's ass,you've gotta hit 'em from behind and point blank".

[@ChrisMathers3501]

Oddball was awesome. I was sad to learn the guy who played him, Donald Sutherland, passed away fairly recently.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Except the Tigers rear was actually as strong as its side. The rear was the same 80mm thickness as the side. In fact the lower side plate (behind the wheels) was thinner than the rear plate at 60mm. The rear plate was slightly angled so it actually had a few more effective mm than the side.

[@rileytruax766]

"rains coming" is just slang for artillery strikes inbound becuase its literally raining explosives

[@victorarellano1191]

War, war never changes

[@Randomizer939]

15:15 Yes 32:56 In reality fakebattle, Tiger tank wouldn't have left their position in hiding to be exposed and would have killed them all.

[@RobDog-l8v]

Only a few weeks before the war ended, so could either be a really novice Tiger crew or a Tiger crew with nothing left to lose.

[@VorchaKali]

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN starring TOM HANKS. It's nothing short of epic. It will be a tough one for you ladies to watch though. FURY may have been rough one to watch but SAVING PRIVATE RYAN is on a whole other level. WE WERE SOLDIERS starring MEL GIBSON. HACKSAW RIDGE starring ANDREW GARFIELD directed by MEL GIBSON

[@JoshDeCoster]

Great reaction. Though this is a rough watch, it’s a reminder of the damage inflicted by WWII. It’s also a reminder as we are on the brink of WWIII, that these wars will certainly involve us at any time. That’s why it’s important to study history deeply.

[@sonofthesea3298]

Im slowly getting back to KZbin and such,after being in a half a year relationship that was passionate and uplifting daily for months and months,but 3 months ago it ended roughly due to me being frozen out with no closure talk,agreement on breaking up,instead it turned into a nasty,public dramatic fight back and forth,were she used her streaming platform to paint me this that and the third (while knowing soo much better about me,that i wasnt anywhere near what she tried to describe me as) Trust me,i got a war movie recommendation that will be good for you,for the most part anyway. I have seen you watch some of these rough war movies,and how heartbroken you have become. I cant promise that you wont have situations where you get sad in this movie,but you will probably love it alot more then some of these other war movies. The Thin Red Line. Im not gonna tell too much of the movie,but i can say that its a really different war movie. You get to know the actual soldiers and theyr thoughts,you get to see them abit "out of the frontline fighting for theyr country". Its a very overall beautiful war movie,but it does have some intense action as well. The Thin Red Line was released on the 23rd of December 1998. Starring: Jim Caviezel (The guy from Sound Of Freedom) Sean Penn,Nick Nolte,Kirk Acevedo,Penelope Allen,Mark Boone Junior,Simon Billig, Adrien Brody,George Clooney,Ben Chaplin,John Cusack,Woody Harrelson,Paul Gleeson and alot more. It is described as being an epic war movie,based on the autobiographical 1962 novel by James Jones,focusing on the conflict at Guadalcanal during the second World War. You will thank me later for this recommendation.

[@MrKINSM]

6:39 "Wait until you see!"..."See what?"..."What a man can do to another man!"

[@MandoTex7500]

Another great Brad Pitt movie I recommend is Legends of the Fall.

[@fooddog45]

This suggestion is totally different from movie reactions, but this movie just made me think of a video on KZbin that I think you ladies should react to. The video I'm referring to is the first and only time where the actions of someone who earned the Medal of Honor, was actually recorded. You can easily find the video of it here on KZbin.

[@JohnSmith-bn9sw]

I've seen a lot of reactors watch through Fury and give a similar reaction 😂 On a more serious note, I doubt many people understand before watching some films like this, which gives a brief display of what real combat is like. From Normandy in 1944 to Fallujah and Ramadi in the 21st century. These movies are a reality. The human psych adapts and though to outsiders it seems macbre and brutal this was reality for myself and many other combat veterans. You perform and you do your job or you die. Oftentimes there is no rhyme or reason, for the way things play out. They just do. Many modern war films, including "Fury" are great counterpoint to earlier war films. Sometimes "the good guys" do bad things...and some times the "bad guys" do good things.

[@andrewcampbell3314]

Where norman messed up after firing the white phosphorus round into the building is he wasted ammo instead of just letting them burn

[@t0dd000]

I was on tanks for a decade (modern tanks, of course) and they got so much right in this film. Kudos to the filmmakers.

[@kendricmcbride2374]

Saving Private Ryan would be your next war movie to watch

[@raistlinrodriguez5696]

If you haven't seen it yet or ever, check out Backdraft, great fire fighter movie with Kurt Russel and Robert Deniro.

[@JoshDeCoster]

15:10 those are tracer rounds. Americans are red, Germans green. The reason they are coming so quickly is the MG-42 fires 1,000 rounds a minute, so 1-5 rounds with tracers would be coming out every second.

[@GarretteSeeyouma]

I've done my service time in OIF in Afghanistan. Delta company 1/504 PIR. We are up armored unit. I drove a Humvee at first but then moved up to gunner for the 50cal. Tanks Sherman back then were no match for the Pantzer German tanks. They were faster and a lot more armor then American tanks.

[@JamesGilburt-lb7sg]

Hi girls, the war genre is one of the best - especially the world war 2 chapter. I highly recommend you react to Kelly's Heroes (1970) It's got vibes of this movie, but is so much better! It's an action comedy set in the aftermath of D-Day, where a platoon of American soldiers use a break from fighting to go after nazi gold hidden behind enemy lines! Also, WWII aerial warfare is a largely overlooked sub genre (for some inexplicable reason) which contains some banging war movies such as Memphis Belle, Red Tails & The Battle Of Britain... Please react to those too, I find war in the air to be more exciting and entertaining. I love your reactions and I'm subscribed :)

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Yeah Kelly's Heroes is far more entertaining with great characters and dialogue. The writing in Fury is mediocre and the characters are forgettable.

[@donizetebelinato2808]

36:52 Anti-tank mines cannot be detonated by infantry (pedestrians).

[@timlanteigne298]

One thing limited from the movie is that Norman was the name of War Daddy's younger brother.

[@ivansvalker7025]

In those times especially during the war eggs and cigarettes were basically gold

[@matthewdooley7855]

They do a good job of showing the horror of war in this movie. And the way the constant pressure makes human beings brittle and unpredictable, and still develop close ties. Replacement troops were in a tough spot. Battle-scared soldiers didn't want to develop ties to replacements, because green troops die faster. But without forming those bonds, green troops die faster. Tracer rounds glow when they're fired - it helps you know where your bullets are hitting, but it also gives away your location.

[@ronmaximilian6953]

The M4 Sherman was a medium tank. Depending on the variant, it was supposed to go about 26 to 30 mph on the road and 15 to 20 mph over uneven train like the mud. It was actually a very reliable tank unlike the German panzer V Tiger, which was too heavy for its transmission, especially in uneven terrain. In theory, it could do about 12 mph in mud but by this point of the war, quality control was poor because slave labor were sabotaging them and Germany didn't have enough rare metals to build higher quality engines. By the end of the war, Germany was throwing four new conscripts into a tank with an experienced soldier. And most of their forces were fighting in the against the Soviets.

[@artbagley1406]

Didn't all German tanks have lousy fuel consumption rates? Real guzzlers? And they used gasoline, not diesel? Somebody please correct me if I'm remembering wrong. Thanx!
