Where Eagles Dare - Nazi Death Count!

[@cunard61]

I saw this in the theater when I was 8, it was the first "grown-up" movie my father took me to see. My eyes never left the screen, which for an 8 year old was HUGH. I loved it, and never forgot it. The chase in the snow-plow equipped bus at the end kept me on the edge of my seat. Looking back on it, the killing didn't really bother me, it was just good guys vs. bad guys in my mind. My son was 12 when it came out on VHS, and his reaction was exactly the same as mine had been years before.

[@rjjcms1]

I first saw it in the cinema too,on the first day of school Christmas holidays in December 1977 when I was 13. Riveted,though it wasn't until I'd seen it on telly at least a couple more times that I fully got the triple cross done by Smith (Richard Burton) with General Rosemeyer,Colonel Kramer et.al in the dialogue in the Schloss Adler dining room.

[@elcheapo9444]

What do you know? I was 8 too when this movie was released. But I watched it on a rerun at age 12.

[@danielblom391]

Clint Eastwood's character in this movie is the ultimate "I don't know why I'm here... ALL I KNOW IS THAT I MUST KILL"

[@garethmccullough390]

Ha ha well said. I always thought the terminators character was based on Schaefer lol. I just recently read the book after years of watching the movie and Schaefer is completely different but the story is amazing.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

And the best part is that you know damn well Clint finished filming every day with a whiskey and a stogie followed by fifteen hours of impregnating women. Because that's just the kind of guy Clint was.

[@d68st90]

@@garethmccullough390 LMFAO He is much more efficient than the terminators!

[@TheAdam159]

Clint Eastwood takes on the entire Third Reich armed only with a supressed Walther P38, akimbo MP40s, a trench knife, and a few stick grenades. Awesome. Love this movie. They don't make films like old Eastwood shoot em ups anymore.

[@DASCO2136]

Just want to make a correction----in the meeting room where Clint knocked off the Gestapo major, the SS colonel, the general and the secretary, Richard Burton also killed a guard in there so that would make the death count 90 instead of 89

Missing the soldier in the dining room who Richard Burton shoots (it happens before von Hapen enters).

[@canuck_gamer3359]

Yay! I think it's much better with a nice round 90 instead of 89 lol.

[@HerculeDevantrien]

0:58 Dual wielding before it was cool!

Except dual six shooters in a few Wild West films.

[@ooeyb]

still - this is a tremendous action film. I believe the book was written by alister mclean in only a few weeks. Well done sir!

[@tantive4]

#32 is still my favourite. Putting the caption up only after he hits the ground is class

[@yanggyan9729]

[@stephenjnolan]

wasn't that a kill by one of his own though ...

[@rjjcms1]

Yes,it was,though unwittingly.

[@spikespa5208]

The title was death count, not cause. Dead be dead.

[@waukivorycopse2402]

I can't decide which comments on here are weirder: the people whining about technical aspects of machine pistol magazine capacity or people pulling the old, and very, very tired whinge of " but not ALL germans were Nazis!". Stop bellyaching, it's a bloody MOVIE, and damn good entertainment at that.

[@foreverblueclassics]

The best piece of Nazi killing on film. Silly plot yes, but fantastic boys own action. I love it :-)

Nazis are worse shots than Star Wars Star Troopers.

[@DASCO2136]

Actually it was 90 germans....there was a guard in the conference chamber that Richard Burton shot with his silencer before the Gestapo major walked in on the meeting

[@smartamateur]

1:20 The Germans run up the stairs and stop, staring at Clint aiming his smg at them on top of the stairs and slowly nodding "hi there"

[@casf1b]

Now we know where the Star Wars "Storm Troopers" learned their stuff from. lol

Well, if we had men like those two chaps, the war would've been over in a matter of seconds.

[@Opalauge88]

89 Nazis were harmed in the making of this movie.

[@coolcat5714]

Haha

[@HuDaFuK]

Lesson learned: Kübelwagens are not safe cars.

[@PetersonZF]

@goatboyful You're missing the point. Thomas dies on the rope because Smith tricked the German officer into believing him to be one of the men he is pursuing. And Colonel Turner is left with no choice because Smith leaves him with, "no cards left to play." Both kills were completely down to Smith and his cunning, which makes them even more awesome than most of the others. :)

[@vegetony]

I think number 36 could have survived if timely evacuated to the nearest nazi level I trauma center.

[@HUTINAK]

ah, leave the Nazis alone. They've suffered enough

[@HumanitarianEclectic]

What viewers might be interested to know is that Richard Burton and the author of "Where Eagles Dare", Alistair MacLlean, lie buried a few yards apart in an old Swiss cemetery in Celigny, not far from Geneva.

[@garethmccullough390]

Wow thanks for this ! I used to watch this with my dad when I was a kid must have seen it 100 times but never would have guessed the death ☠️ count. My favourite was number 89 lol even tho I knew Turners gun wouldn’t fire the tension got me everytime when he pointed it at Smith. They just don’t make em like this any more.

[@lucasguenesmenezes6416]

This and Overlord are the closest we will ever have of a Wolfenstein movie

[@batman51]

Oddly, in the book, they spend a lot of time and effort NOT killing people.

[@stuartwells8278]

This really was a fantastic film. Some pretty viscous stunts Hutton pulled there with the cars flipping over and everything too!

[@DrLoverLover]

Viscous?

[@Gamerweazel]

i;ve been searching everywhere for this movie when i saw it on tv one time...and i couldn't be more happy stumbling upon it while searching up kill counts :)

[@jonnie106]

Thanks for the edit and post. I love this movie, and I'd always wondered how many guys Clint ghosted in the hallway battle alone!

Clint was taking out the trash even in WW2.

[@jamesschultz9546]

Clint Eastwood is what made this movie. Thumbs up if you agree.

[@Bucklund]

Missed one. There was a soldier guarding the officers table who copped it between kills 15 and 16

[@jameswhite5720]

I love this movie. It depicts German soldiers who are utterly incompetent and robotic, like lambs led a slaughter. Wonder why it took so long to defeat them.

[@commandingjudgedredd1841]

It's basically like a live action Commando comic, in which the opposition cannot shoot for toffee, and the heroes always get away without a scratch.

[@vtldtlbwf]

@@commandingjudgedredd1841 what do you mean without a scratch, maj. Smith got shot in the hand, and Schaffer got a bloody nose at some point, so, you know, it wasn't a walk in the park for them either! ;)

I would argue 88 because Turner committed suicide.

[@bobtaylor7848]

Raad the book before I saw the film. Even though it's a cliche, I really couldn't put it dowm. Every chapter ending left you gasping and HAVING to read on th see what happens. I was not disappointed in the film, very faithful to the book. If you haven't read it already, I heartily recommend that you do so. Most brilliant score to match the action. I can't praise enough.

Are you sure you read the same book? The book had NO-ONE die in it.

[@bobtaylor7848]

The FIRST person to die was one of the group that jumped from the plane. He had his neck broken. Make sure the book you read was by Alister Mclean.

[@bobtaylor7848]

The first man to die, if I remember correctly, was sergeant Harrod. Made to look as if he broke his neck after landing awkwardly but in reality, it was murder.

Harrod was not a Nazi nor was he killed by Eastwood, Burton or Ure which is what this video was about. He was killed by one of the three Nazi spies. Don't remember his name but he was the one who fell from the cable car, he was the one standing behind Harrod when they jumped from the plane.

[@bobtaylor7848]

Hang on, you've gone off tack. You stated that in the book, no one was killed. I'm just pointing out that loads of people were killed in the book. I never said anything about being killed by nazis

[@defiverr4697]

90 deaths. This is John Wick great and approved!!!

[@PaulRietvoorn]

now imagine a real spy leaving that many bodies :P

[@ActionEditor3]

What I really like about these classic films is that there was no CGI, so everything had to be done using alternative methods. That's really cool, cos I hate CGI. But also you get to "laugh" at some shots like at 1:14, that shot screams "DUMMY!" and also at 1:40 that shot screams "JUMP" not "FALL". But that just makes it cooler!

[@PhflyDan1]

NOWT more satisfying, than seeing Ratzis getting dispatched with abandon!! Kill on Lads...

[@Ssejhog]

I like how they waited for #32 to hit the ground before counting him.

[@fliegeroh]

The music for this movie was great. It was done by Rod Goodwin who also did Battle of Britain, another fantastic war movie score.

Brilliant! This is 1 of my favorite war films. Have seen it many, many times and almost have the script committed to memory. Have sometimes wondered just how many German soldiers (Nazis, if you like) Clint killed > as he is truly a terminator in this film. But this clip says it all. Thank you! Very amusing!

[@alucard624]

Wow, didn't know MP40's were THAT accurate. LOL. Awesome movie. There needs to be an actual game that is based on this story, where you could play as either Clint Eastwood or Richard Burton. If The Great Escape can have a game made about it years later, so can Where Eagles Dare.

[@judyhopps9380]

a water balloon dropped from 40,000 feet is accurate if Clint does it ;)

[@spikespa5208]

The airfield tower shot was amazing.

[@jamesbowen8960]

Clint killed 58 himself. A record not surpassed until The Outlaw Josey Wales, which he kills 63. Where Eagles Dare is one of my all-time favorites. I believe the plot is loosely based on a true German fake-out movie "The Man Who Never Was " from 1955-56 era which is a true story and really happened. It's an excellent film in its own right, Michael Hordern who portrays Admiral Rolland in "Where Eagles Dare" is in it also.

[@jeffreyharnden7523]

The most memorable scene was the nazi who fell out of the tram all the way down to his death the look on his face still sticks with me to this day I will never ever forget that expression in his face its definitely up there with Janet Leigh death scene from psycho infact it's tied for first place IMO it's so sad actors and actresses back in the 60s and 70s knew how to pretend that they were dying today not so much that actress from cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone did a very very convincing job in the beginning of that film her death scene in which she is begging Sylvester to pull her up is very convincing just like that evil nazi who fell to his death along with Janet's shower sequence those three will always haunt me bravo to those respected actors for a job well done if any of you haven't seen cliffhanger watch that beginning and you will all know what I'm talking about i. Cried when she fell I even for some reason cried when that nazi fell all the way down even though he was a very bad guy all nazis are what a way to go all those other nazis that all got shot up by Clint. Richard and Mary all got it easy I would rather get shot then burned or fall such a long way down today's actors in 2022 can learn from Janet as well as those two great convincing actors fro where eagles dare as well as cliffhanger even actress patty Mccormick who did an equally great job when her character got burned up in the horror movie bug in the 1970s another great movie these actors today need to seriously watch movies like psycho bug eagles dare and cliffhanger and see how it is done anyway thanks to who ever decided to post clips from this awsome movie that I happily own on DVD be safe

I seem to recall, the bold heroes bolted the door to the cable car room from the inside, after planting copious amounts of dynamite in the castle. The remaining Nazis were running about like headless chickens, putting out fires and unable to get out. I'm sure I recall after the cable car escape, the castle blows up. Surely that's another 50 Nazis right there... maybe 100.
