"Too Late The Hero" (1970) - Michael Caine British WW2 Action-Drama

During World War II, Allied forces interpreter Sam Lawson (Cliff Robertson) is called on by his superior for a dangerous mission. Up to this point, Lawson has managed to completely avoid combat. But now he must team up with some equally reluctant British soldiers, including Pvt. Tosh (Michael Caine), and travel into perilous jungle territory to destroy a Japanese communications base. The men must now face the once unthinkable prospect of becoming heroes.
Starring Michael Caine, Henry Fonda, Cliff Robertson, Ian Bannen, Denholm Elliott and Harry Andrews.
Originally released in May 1970.

Love this movie, reminds me of night time war movies with my dad when mum went to bed, same with guns of naverone, Battle Of Britain, Objective Burma and The Passage. Thank you for showing this, brings back great memories 👍

[@billbodger4723]

Thank for the memories I had forgotten about The passage and objective Burma when films were made that were worth watching. Bill England

[@AlainLaforce]

When I watch sonn I'm sorry you'reme of these nostalgic movies I feneveeel tears rolling down my cheeks. Ww1and2 especially Vienevtnam, being a veteran as a commando paratrooper with 3tours sadness takes over and pictures re-appear people must understand that it was children who saved the world. I am 70 years young and a lot of my family served. God bless those who

@@JimUSCM "Sink the Bismark was another great film also"!

[@michaelzaug8750]

Popcorn and a bridge over the river quai with dad

[@susanfriend-k5m]

Michael Canes Cockney accent gets me every time. One of the UKs greatest actors, so handsome with his blonde hair and blue eyes. Denholm Elliot plays the role of slimy officer so well. John Lancelot Blades Percival, another great actor, Comedian and singer. Clifford Parker Robertson American, another great actor. The whole cast made it a great movie. Never tire of watching it over and over. Many thanks

[@KemGreene-c7p]

"Great movie, I watch it a lot; takes me back to my pre-teen wonder years living on an Army Base when my dad was stationed in Germany"!😊

[@Dakarai99]

I saw this movie long time ago now again in 2024 it's still having its magic of entertainment.

[@johnzajac9849]

Can LionHeart FilmWorks get ‘The Ipcress File’ with Caine? We’d love to see it.

[@jeremyblandford7669]

Fantastic movie, thanks for sharsies 😊

[@tonywilcock6334]

Amazing to think Michael Caine saw combat in the Korean War, just put on the uniform and carried on with his acting career

[@pop-pop6210]

3rd watching this movie. Great flick. Good cast of actors.

[@douglasw2077]

A very good movie

[@buzz5969]

Ive seen this flik several times and it never gets old! Thanks for the upload!🇺🇸🍻✌🏻

[@ronhillard7040]

Someone at Lionheart needs a HISTORY lesson. Not 1970 but 1940!

[@chk7718]

1970 was the year the movie was filmed.

[@Darwin-ey5le]

Zit was made in 1970

[@daewookkim4795]

진짜...... 이 영화는 보기 드문 걸작이라고 할 수 있는 이유가 영어를 할 줄 하는 일본군 정보장교 대 일본어를 할 줄 아는 미군 정보장교의 심리전이 주축이면서도 동시에 영화 처음에 나오는 것처럼 미국, 영국, 일본의 국기가 시간이 지나면서 새 깃발에서 너덜너덜해지는 그 모습이 진짜 전쟁에서는 전쟁터에서 싸우는 군인들의 진짜 심정이 국가니 뭐니 이전에 살아남는 것이 우선이고 국가의 애국심이니 뭐니 하는 것은 너덜너덜해지는 그런 찢어진 깃발만도 못한 존재라는 것을 은유적으로 보여준다고나 할까요? 거기에 마이클 케인 경의 모습도 전사의 모습이 아닌 살아남기 위해서 필사적으로 싸우는 그런 병사의 모습이라는 것도 진짜...........

[@skyedog24]

U wat. ?🎻

[@LarryMikulanis]

thank you

[@raymondj8768]

Great Bloody Movie Thanks for the upload that kicked Ass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dimvalsgames9721]

Awesome movie with a great cast, i really enjoyed it thanks for the movie guys. A question the soldiers were not British lets say regular infantry but some kind of British WW2 Special forces and you can see it from their hats and weapons were there SAS or something btw?

[@RW4X4X3006]

Perhaps jungle kit.

[@kailoYT]

Fun observation: The Union Jack flag at 11:40 is either reversed (possible) or upside down (not a good sign).

[@ruantengyi]

What a great movie to watch! It was Michael Caine who got my attention. 😊 Oh, by the way, Lionheart Filmworks, what happened to those “Ripley’s Believe It or Not videos (starring Jack Palance) you uploaded on your channel? I couldn’t find them there! 😮

[@rcfokker1630]

The unresolved bit was the fate of the two guys who remained in Japanese custody.

[@moonpawooe7134]

3:20 with great beer comes great snooze on beach

[@angloaust1575]

Much like bridge river kwai American nobody becomes a hero Altho both are fictional events It makes interesting viewing!

[@mattpeckham667]

Never could understand why the British didn't sortie out to protect the soldiers returning from the patrols. They could have chased the Japanese unit away from the edge of the jungle. It does make for one hell of a plot device to have the men have to run all the way in though.

[@stuartsmith7907]

I never understood why the yankers always bunched up when going into battle

[@kobball2437]

I’ve watched this movie when i was 17yo,…. Now I’m 69yo

[@el_aleman]

My name is Michael Caine 📞 ….

[@stevepollard2169]

Like watching dads army.

[@streamofconsciousness5826]

The Manning up of a 40 year old man child. That is going to be a hard hike, and he was the fittest of the four, he woke up on a beach with a beer in his hand.... and he really let them down. A lot of Moral wrestling, do we hide for a dew days and let thousands get bombed on ships heading to a invasion. Without your life on the line you can easily judge. The two who surrendered, then told them the location, they are on their own no matter who you are. There is no moral dilemma. like a heist movie and a horror thriller. These guys had to be burglars before they were soldiers.

[@awos6559]

I don’t know who breathes for hours like that! 😂😂

[@mr.t1941]

Robertson grows a pair 1:51:50

[@TheYeti308]

Canes ; is that Saxon . ?

[@Johnny_Guitar]

Since when did the British ever use AMERICAN made Thompson machine guns instead of their British STEN machine guns? Along with the Japanese using BRITISH made BREN machine guns instead of their JAPANESE made TYPE 99 machine guns ???

[@amandagordon7932]

The Japanese Bren is probably supposed to be a Type 96 light machine gun which resembled the Bren, and the British used the Thompson before the Sten was invented. Special forces preferred the Thompson because of it's reliability

[@guentherhermann4629]

Schade, gibt es diese Film nicht in Germany Sprache😢

[@guentherhermann4629]

Ich hätte gerne diese Film in Germany Sprache. Mein Englisch ist nicht so gut..

[@swaldron5558]

Go to English lesson courses!

[@stephenelliott8927]

Such a bad movie for a veteran too watch. So tactically wrong, just comic stuff! If wear berets in the jungle you’re head would boil and that’s just one issue 😮

[@kennethhoppe2259]

Talking, Singing, Smoking just wrong

[@TheGrimReaper1]

Aye, and they wasted far too much time talking to each other and listening to the Tannoy, every minute counted re the distance they needed increase from their pursuers. It was the time they needed to run across the field at the end of the trip, and what’s worse is that they knew that, i certainly would have gained every minute i could. Still i suppose it’s just really artistic licence,I’m sure they wouldn’t really have done that.😊.

[@buzz5969]

Im a Retiree, one above a VET, didnt quit!😊 and loved the movie. As for accuracies, not wise to be precise in movies for all too see. Any VET should know that.🤓🇺🇸🍻✌🏻

[@OutlawGman92]

It’s a movie about a fictional event. Just let it go

[@stephenelliott8927]

Ok I let it go after the first 20 minutes skipped to the end was even more pissed off! What a load of Bollocks!!!

[@Bammer1520]

You know I watched this movie when I was nine or 10 years old and I’ve always wanted to watch it again now I am a subscriber to your channel and I just decided to go take a look & there it was the third one good job
