Totally agree with comments below, no cgi, real people, real horses, real mountains (Andes) in the background. What a spectacle! Years ago I had the great pleasure to work with Producer Terry Jones, Jr, (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, among other big credits). I remember driving around with him one day on a movie in the 80's and he shared some stories of working on Taras Bulba as a young 2nd AD. He was riding on the camera car that shot these scenes. Sure we may chuckle at seeing the dirt road (and some tire tracks) but the overall exhilaration of filming hundreds of horsemen galloping at full speed across the "Russian Steppes" (actually the high desert of Argentina near Salta) more than makes up for that oversight. I could kick myself for not writing down what he told me, I just remember him saying the Argentinian army and authorities were great to work with, and also some stories of near disasters with organizing this scene. Naturally the chance for some of the Argentine rank and file to be in a Hollywood movie was too good to be true, they must've had a blast!

I saw Taras Bulba at the theater when I was a little kid.

I played it once, recorded it on cassette, listened all the time in my VW. Later, CD soundtrack came out, purchased that too, has one or two tracks different. The Ride to Dubno is a true classic scene.

[@615855]

I read somewhere a long time ago about the making of this film that the producers wanted to actually film it on the Russian steppes but were denied permission by the Russians. IN Argentina, they found countryside that resembled the Russian steppes and filmed it there. To make this ride scene, they had many volunteers from among Argentinians who worked as gauchos as they wanted to do the ride. The Argentinian Government also provided a large number of soldiers from it's army who could ride horses and also helped arrange the provision of horses. Back when this film was made, there was no CGI and there was considerable logistical problems involved with crowd scenes, more especially when large number of horses were also involved. Apparently, also the rumble from the galloping horses could be heard from quite a few miles away and people, not knowing what the noise was, thought that it was big thunderstorms. That's what I read years ago about the making of the film.

[@observer1689]

Stelvis Maximus You don't want to use this movie for historical information. Brynner was born for this role, though. Most movies in the 60s were made for entertainment purposes only. This is one of them. The closest I can think of since then are the "Rocky" movies. They aren't political. The audience can identify with the characters, the fight scenes are exciting, if wildly unrealistic, and you go home without thinking you were cheated by the high price of the ticket. Taras Bulba is like that. It's a "go have some fun at the movies" flick, and you're right, we need more of them.

[@mwells219]

+ Stelvis Maximus No studio would do a movie like this because it would cost too much and people would just torrent it anyway.

[@athaeus2667]

Except most of this movie is 100% made up. The only truth in it is that the Cossacks did indeed exist, and clashed with the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland a few times between the 16th and 17th century. That's literally it.

[@UhtredOfBamburgh]

@@observer1689 This is a historical fiction. The characters and storyline are made up but the Kozak warriors depicted are a real semi-nomadic army made of Ukrainian people that fought the Polish-Lithuanians, the Muscovites and the Turkish Tatars in real life. They were based in a sich (fortress) on an island in the middle of the Dnipro River. They were all free men but had no wives and were lead by a Hetman (something like an army general-king that led free wild Ukrainians united to fight off the foreign invaders

[@stanbaars3027]

My favorite scene from this fantastic movie..

[@stephenrichey8487]

It's amazing that the Cossacks had such a sophisticated military organization that they could coordinate multiple large units making their rendezvous with perfect timing, with no one unit having to stand around waiting for another unit, all while everybody was at the gallop, in the days before any sort of electronic communications devices existed. Snarky jokes like this one aside, maybe each Cossack war band had hilltop sentries to alert the war band to the approach of allied bands--whose dust clouds could be seen miles away--to which they had pledged mutual aid. Maybe, weeks before the actual march on Dubno, horseback messengers between war bands had spread the word to be at a certain place at a certain time to effect rendezvous. Implausibilities aside, I loved this sequence as a kid and still do.

[@stephenrichey8487]

Nick Slichenko, that's interesting, thanks!

[@gilibran]

Dont be fooled by movies, you cant ride a horse this hard and then fight a battle with it. Horse will be winded and as good as dead after a few kilometers of riding this hard. You are right about one thing, they were smart and calculated their battles and chose the spot for the attack making sure their horses were as fresh as possible even delaying battles as long as possible to give them the maximum rest possible,.

[@UhtredOfBamburgh]

Actually its very likely that the kozaks learned their horseback and fighting tactics from the Turkic warriors of the Mongol Horde. The Mongol Horde had very elaborate and effective fighting strategies that made them so successful, and eventually they reached Kyivan-Rus' and killed 90% of the population when they sacked the city. It is this massacre that ended Kyivan-Rus' and dispersed Ukrainian people into rural and semi-nomadic warrior cultures for hundreds of years after. This Mongol massacre likely taught the survivors of proto-Ukraine a new foundational hybrid culture. The depopulation of the Kyivan-Rus' area is likely what caused the rise of Muscovia into modern Russia, because the proto-Muscovite paid tribute to the Mongol Horde and partially allied with them instead of fighting back like the proto-Ukrainians... I guess Ukrainians are still kinda like fight to the death people, while Russians are into imperialism and political games just like back then

These kozak warriors are not Russian. They are Ukrainian and this real historical army even fought against Muscovy (modern Russia) later after the Polish/Lithuanians fell out of the picture. The Swedish King even allied with the Ukrainian kozaks to fight against Moscow for a while because of the shared ancient Varangian link between Swedish and Ukrainian people. Unfortunately they lost and Ukrainians had to wait til about 1920 to try for independence from the Muscovites again, which also failed quickly until 1991

@@irishjw Ukrainians often think the newer Taras Bulba film twists the kozak warriors into being Russians. In real life these kozaks fought against Muscovy (Russia) in a later historical period after Poland and Lithuanian rule fell out of the picture in Ukraine.

What are you talking about? Radosław Sikora is Polish historian, why should I believe a Pole, that wrote history on Cossacks? This movie is based on a book, which was written by Nikaloi Gogol. There are also plenty of books about Cossacks in Ukraine and Russia, which proves that Cossacks were fearless, good warriors. They were bandits for Poles, because they didn't want to submit to Poles, didn't want to give their land to Poles, and reject Orthodox faith by taking Catholicism.

Pensar que los actores son lo que pidieron haber sido los "gauchos de Güemes" Se filmó en Salta, Argentina

[@Hyun_stay-5]

[@JUANMAURICIOGRANDVAL]

Creo que has querido decir: "Pudieron haber sido"... Y si... Efectivamente, así le pelearon a los Españoles...

The way they REALLY ended "Police Academy VII: Assignment Moscow!"

[@beriolurgoen]

the perfect role for yul brinner...epic scene as few can match this feeling!! unfortunately the movie was irregular and the final result was unsatifiying

[@realfunny7]

that rider at 2:04 the way he snaked in to shake Yul's hand - that was some horsemanship

Shades of The Magnificent Seven as the army grows step by step :-)

Está secuencia es una de las mejores del cine

[@JUANMAURICIOGRANDVAL]

Nunca se va a poder juntar a tanta cantidad de jinetes y caballos reales... (Gauchos Salteños, cada uno con sus propio Caballo) y los del Regimiento Infernales de Güemes...

[@stevewhitaker1705]

Another great film

[@HumanitarianEclectic]

Sirring stuff. Actually filmed in Argentina using gaucho cowboys as Ukrainian Cossacks. Yul Brynner had high hopes for this film, but despite some memorable scenes and music, the final version was a big disappontment for him. For the Ukrainian diaspora, this loose interpretation of Gogol's epic story was nevertheless a boon to the sense of national spirit and pride.

Más o menos de 1.000 a 1.500 Gauchos y los del Ejército Argentino... Con sus propios Caballos...
