Razzle Dazzle Scene | Stripes (1981) | Now Playing

[@anangryranger]

As an old school drill sgt. I absolutely loved this movie! Total nonsense, but I laughed so hard I thought I'd cause myself an injury! Now, I'm going to break out my DVD of this great film, have a few PBR's, and laugh myself to the point of tears!😂

[@BHRamsay]

I'm sure you the occasional Bill Murray type, thank you for turning them into leaders who could look out for their guys

[@anangryranger]

@@BHRamsay Now and then there'd be a real comical recruit. I'd actually set 'em up for a chance to get off a funny line. Once the platoon quit laughing, I'd invite the funny guy to lead the platoon in a three mile run, or doing push-ups until they all dropped. The platoon members would do my work for me by getting the funnyman off to the side and tell him to shut up or they'd make him regret it. It was conformity by peers, and quite an effective tool to create a unit that works together for a common goal. The class clown of high school grew into understanding how to be a soldier, and and would often excel in training. There is no way to get a square peg to fit a round hole. Trying to pound it in with a hammer breaks the peg. But with motivation by other pegs, they all fit in the holes they need to be in. That's how you create a team.😏

[@dreadsire5086]

As someone with the best memories of basic and my Drills. This movie is largely responsible for my enlistment. And Drill Sgt. Jacobs did not disappoint! And thank you Drill Sgt!

[@jonw.3886]

You have a total goofball like Bill Murray, comedy guys like Harold Ramis and John Candy, and they turn this wild hilarious scene into a respectable performance. Of course they're not real soldiers and I'm in no way saying they represent the military, but these guys are all from the comedy world and they did a pretty darn good job of practicing the moves to pull this routine off. Great job for unstructured and undisciplined funny guys!

[@DM-w5o]

Those who weren’t cast members were actually the Ft Knox drill team. The U.S. Army, Human Resources Command HQ IS now built on that site and there is a plaque in the quad, dedicated to that drill ceremony.

[@tiffanygrever8092]

They must have put in so many hours practicing, I think one of the best parts of the military in general is the drill team's the do such an awesome job.

[@devinpaul9026]

I only really know Ramis from Ghostbusters and it's REAL sequel, but Candy was actually something more of an actor. He could BE funny very well, he was IN a lot of comedies-- but he played fairly grounded characters you might've actually even really known-- not a typical comedian-- and was really known as kind of the "heart" of things. If white dudes had a "soul brotha", that guy was John Candy.

[@tsukishiro70]

@@DM-w5o That is so awesome!

[@tomking1890]

Back when they made great movies this was one of them.

at a hsitorical re-enactment a couple of years ago I was caught in an explosion because of an idiot, As i lay on the gorund getting first aid and wondering how bad it was I heard an officer asking "where's your sgt men?" and some idiot actually said "blown up sir!"

[@kennethsizer6217]

THIS IS THE GREATEST COMMENT I'VE EVER READ!

[@testikuskitestdrivr6012]

Good old feel good comedy. "Blown up, SIR!" is the part that always gets me. It's gritty response and absolutely true in the context of the movie. Serves as a additional morale booster as the army is a dangerous place, but the old guard understands and value this fact also as a training tool. It all just adds up to the badassery and compliance of being a soldier. Sometimes your sergeants get blown up. LOL

[@Jitsover50]

Spent my last two years as a grunt at Ft Polk, but started off basic and infantry school at Ft Benning in the old barracks. Good memories come back when I see this. I stayed in newer buildings at Polk.

@@rexoates4484 I was at South Fort….what we called the Main PX became the post lawn and garden center…Our barracks were on that parking lot…I went back in the late 90’s to visit a bro-in-law and found the spot our barracks were on that lot…the oak tree by our supply room was still there but all the old stuff was gone 🤔

It’s not Italian. He says “Battalion” because it’s an Army movie. Gentlemen! It’s party time! Battalion style!!

​@@LazloSoot-s1n ✔️"Italiano" nei sottotitoli, sento anche "Italiano."👂🤌

[@josephalonzo1059]

​@@RobertCarnevale-qr5ey in the original scene direct from the movie itself, which I own by the way, it is "battalion" style not "Italian" style... Everyone know that subtitles are only accurate about 80% of the time, and if your hearing is that bad that you heard italian not battalion then you need to either get your ears cleaned out or checked out

[@RobertCarnevale-qr5ey]

@@josephalonzo1059Try again? Look at the size of a battalion vs. the size of a platoon. Now, they are in a platoon, headed for Italy....if you can't reason that out, you may get your brain checked. ⏳ In the interim between my reply and this edit, have you fact-checked me about squad, platoon, company, and battalion numbers? So in the movie an entire battalion was sent to Italy for the special training, is that what you're saying? ⏳⏳ In the 2nd interim between edits, did you think about the highest commanding officer who went to Italy, wasn't it Capt. Stillman/J. Larroquette? Was he in charge of the Company in _Stripes_ (you tell me, since btw you own the movie lol)? Seriously, help us out here - he wasn't a Lt. Colonel - they command Battalions....I _checked_ into that too...it wouldn't be _"battalion style"_ for a Lt. Colonel of a Battalion to go on a mission, and forget to bring his battalion ("Whoopsie!!"). But no Lt. Colonel made that embarrassing error in the movie because: there was no Lt. Col. in Italy, and, no battalion in Italy. The Platoon, though: they sure travelled around in style, huh? Italian style, I'd say. 😆 ⌛ _What happened to @joseph?_ *"He got 'blown-up,' SIR!"* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@YeOldeTowneCryer]

Having been in the army and knowing protocol, I was flabbergasted when they came marching out not all in uniform, one wearing a red headband some shirts unbuttoned, and Murray flopping around like he was half drunk. Then they started the routine and I was laughing my ass off. They actually did pretty good.

[@ls-kk4pq]

I never realized how funny this scene was! Thanks! I needed to laugh today!

[@Jet-xk7ss]

I loved being an army brat. My dad got stationed to different posts during his career and so we got to see a lot of the United States and even spent a tour of duty in Japan. For a teenager it was great fun living on base. I have a very fond memories of those years. I have to admit, though I think it was hard on my mom as she had to pack up all us kids and the dog as we went from post to post.

An absolutely impossible incident but these actors have obviously been through training to achieve this. Any member of the armed forces knows thst the standards of drill shown here are not just done in 10 minutes orca late night.
