My favorite part of this scene is how they paid attention to how well organized the British were. After every ranking officer was killed, up to a point, you can hear the immediate next in charge issue commands.
18th century and Napoleonic era officers did not have a long life expectancy. Even though it was considered "cowardly and dishonorable" to target officers, who led from the front as a matter of tradition, almost every army of the era did it. Taking out the enemy's leadership is a tactic that just makes sense. It's why modern uniforms don't have such obvious differences for officers and troops on the battlefield don't salute their superiors (thereby marking them as targets) any more.
@@SF-ku2hp I never got this comment when I fight I hold my weapon in one hand and my beer in the other why ask someone to hold it for you what if it takes a sip?
Although this never happened. One 70 year old guy murdered 4 British soldiers by himself. Although he was ran through twice and shot in the head. But he still lived to 90 something.
Fun fact: this scene was a huge inspiration for the tomahawk combat in Assassin's Creed 3. Not my favorite one but those moves were partially choreographed from this scene and it makes the combat so satisfying.

Excerpt from pg. 12 of the British army standard infantry field manual: If fired upon from an elevated or unknown position, one must remain steadfast in composure and make no attempt to seek cover, or take any other action that might make yourself a more difficult target. Additionally, no attempt should be made to seek a more favorable position from which to return fire. Maintaining the honourable reputation of the Royal army is of the utmost importance, and as such - every effort should be made to allow all possible advantages to the enemy.
@@daddy_marx6823 no that’s is not standard field manual. He’s joking, even back then, an infantry man would know that they need to either a: find better ground b: find better cover, c: charge the Emeny d: flank the enemy, e: fire a volley of suppress/cover in fire, f:all the above. Skirmishing was still a relatively new concept in this time, one that was not fully adopted until rifle/light infantry regements came to be, with the creation of the bakers rifle . The joke is reference to one of common used arguments about the weakness that the British empire line infantry had was to irregular warfare, due to the troops being only able to fire effectively in volley fire or platoon fire volley order, but, while it did have merit, the British standard line infantry did have more Tatics then just stand in line and fire, the movie just does this to makes the British look weak inorder to boost the protagonist image. There is a channel that points out the inaccuratcys that the film has you can check out.
Except the real guy owned slaves so did most of your founding fathers actually talk about fucking hypocrisy on that part and here in Britain the slave trade and then slavery were abolished thanks to democratic and peaceful campaigning rather than a civil war
High Price John Adams never owned slaves. Thomas Paine never owned slaves. Alexander Hamilton never owned slaves. And thats just naming a few of the major founders who had nothing to do with it. Many of the founders were actively trying to abolish slavery peacefully.
When I was in The Corps in '74 - '77, I made Recon (0321) and we received some pretty specialized edge weapon training and one of our Close Combat Instructors who had been in Force Recon in Vietnam was a big proponent of Tomahawks in combat and said he carried them in Vietnam. They make excellent hand to hand combat edge weapons and have many advantages over knifes and obviously also provided utility that knifes do not. I preferred to carry a tomahawk and a dagger rather then our issued Ka Bars.
When i left the Foreign Legion and began working as a full time mercenary i decided to carry an axe too incase my gun broke or if i needed to chop a tree.theyre really useful.
I made recon 1337. That's one higher recon than the other guy's one higher recon than your recon. Our instructor preferred to use a toothpick because dental hygiene is also important.
@@ddwfw Luckily, you can carry both and use either as needed. Almost all frontiersmen and Native Americans carried both a knife and a tomahawk, along with their rifle, musket or bow and arrows. Hunting, fighting and camp chores all taken care of.
In reality this is totally possible to accomplish. First off the guy was a veteran of the French and Indian War so he has battle experience. He knows the land better than any of these soldiers will ever know. It was a surprise attack so there is an advantage from the get-go. He had multiple guns already loaded and ready to fire plus his 2 kids. Expert hand-to-hand combat with light weapons when soldiers were carrying heavy guns. Takes out officers first. Speed and confusion won this fight.
Only thing that seems truly improbable is how easily he was able to counter that bayonet charge with his tomahawks. I feel like realistically, 9 times out of 10 you would get skewered if you tried that
@@xChemistryFTWx dude, in pike and shot warfare, the light armed soldiers were the ones used to break long pike formations, since their weapons were for close hand to hand combat, with the bayonet is the same logic, since its basically a spear at the top of a musket
These guys where soldiers back then and had training as well. Nothing about this is realistic. Also his loading time and aim with a tomahawk and gun is 110% accurate lol.
This is one of those films where I needed a second viewing to completely appreciate it. Since that second viewing, I've watched this remarkable movie dozens of times. Truly, a masterpiece.
I just thought about this movie scene 3 days ago. Never searched it or anything. Now it pops up in my RUclips recommended. This cannot be a coincidence. Kinda scary honestly.
Yeah I've had several of those occurrences.. your online shadow-profile is just very well tailored to your personality and with some quick maths the algorithms will eventually hit the spot perfectly like you mentioned :)
I remember this being one of the first DVDs I watched back in the day, at a friend's house who had a DVD player before us, and it blew me away (along with The Matrix.) This is still one of my favorite Mel Gibson movies, and one of the best revenge movies of all time (along with Braveheart.)
It's all bullshit. They are showing British soldiers as totally ineffective. On the contrary, it was the British who killed far more Americans than did the Americans kill Englishmen. Deceptive movie
The Patriot has to be one of the most underrated movies ever. Jason Isaacs should have been nominated for best supporting actor. One of the most ruthless cunning villains ever.
and his charecter, Benjamin Martin also fought in the French and Indian war so I'm sure thats where he learned the skill for that kind of combat and the skill for that tamahawk.
***** well you want to talk big let's see how well you do. people like you are nothing you're nothing more than a bunch of scum bags who seem to think your disgusting cesspool of a country is even worth a damn.
Sooo for context when fighting irregular forces like this, the British used a tactic called the fire in pairs. The idea was simple. the formation would spread out behind what cover was available with the men working in pairs. The first man would cover his second man as he reloaded. They would take turns loading and firing. They learned this tactic from their time in the French and Indian War. The other tactic, in this case, would be to send light cavalry after the shooters to mop them up. The Brits weren't dumb. You do not concur an empire that spans the world by using inflexible and suicidal tactics.
This assault is so brutal and his younger son is so traumatized because of it, but it feels true. Everything about the movie was superb: the cast, settings, use of natural lighting, costumes, dialog, story line, cinematography, everything about this movie. And Heath Ledger held his own opposite Gibson. I really like Roland Emmerich films, but this and _Anonymous_ are 2 of my all time favorite films. Bravo!
The only time in film when going in melee genuinely worked. Most of the british already fired their muscets and had to reload making them basically defenseless. And the fact they used their guns to stab him was the only option since they weren’t ready to fire. Unlike movies in modern settings where thugs try to bonk the protagonist with a fully loaded gun…
Mell Gibson is so good at making movies. He knows that above everything, story, plot, characters, equality, the movie has to be fun and watchable. Its to bad he does not make movies as much as he used to.
Folks, this is a MOVIE. You people should not be taking its "historical inaccuracies" so seriously that it diminishes your enjoyment of the picture. I mean, what matters most in this scene is the fact that Mel's character is standing up for and defending his sons. He is trying to avenge his son's death and save the life of Heath Ledger, his oldest. And, Mel totally delivers. That's ALL that matters in this scene.
@@josemaironpradopereira7435 And...? Did you know that the British had occupied so much more land than the Germans could ever hope to acquire before WW2? Churchill himself starved MANY Indians to death to financial his completely unnecessary war with Hitler.
@@floatingchimney i'm pretty sure that range is usually only achievable by men of constant practice and experience like grenadiers, light infantry, and riflemen. these british are only line infantry and i don't think they have that capability. also you must keep in mind that they were surprised and were experiencing hit and run tactics which is something line infantry are not that use to
I remember being around 4 or 5 and watching this movie with my mom, this is her favorite scene out of the whole movie, and I’ve always wanted a tomahawk cause of this movie
Although he was only the lead in this, Apocalypto was brilliant and I always enjoy Braveheart, even if it is the least historically accurate film ever made, but as a work of predominantly fiction it is very enjoyable.
Scratch that. Braveheart is the second most inaccurate film ever made. The first is most definitely U-571. Americans capturing the first enigma machine when it was the Royal Navy is a definite Hollywood embarrassment and completely disrespectful.
One of my favorite action scenes bar none. Nothing too fancy just realistic melee between Regulars trained in group warfare facing a guerilla veteran of multiple wars on home ground. So much sword fighting in movies and the choreography is flowery, Here he is utilitarian and efficient and naturally unorthadox. That knife and hatchet are set like bone.
Me and me mates watched this before our senior skip party back in the day, got us so pumped up we crushed over 100 beers and took no prisoners. ‘Merica!!
If you're a father this scene can bring you to tears with how much you understand the rage in this scene. God himself couldn't help the evil soul(s) that would harm my children.
It's so interesting to see this close range fighting style. One thing I love about it, is when the Americans fought the native Indians, they learn their tactics of being light on their feet, move in hack and cut down, move again than strike again. Remembering the Last of the mohicans. What beauty of fighting technicians.
Yep, Mel's character in this movie was a veteran of the French and Indian War, so he had a lot of experience seeing it and fighting against it first hand.
You should check out Sleepy Hollow 1999 sometime: 3 Sith Lords, 2 characters from Harry Potter, Batman's Butler Alfred, Jack Sparrow, the list goes on and on. Look at the cast sometime, it's insane.
@@Dime-bz6hc actually you’re the one who sounds dumb. Guerilla warfare, which is where almost all wars end up and which is exactly what this scene depicts, has barely changed in two hundred years. The rifles have improved, but it still ends up face to face and house by house, inch by inch. Ask any soldier who has ever been to Afghanistan, Russian or American. On the political front, suffice to say that there have certainly been few improvements in character .
@@TresLinguas Are you high or something...what does that have to do with anything said above. OP is clearly talking about civilians and their rights to bear arms via the 2nd amendment (which no longer really applies to live in a modern society but that is an argument for another time) and not about using firearms in combat. The two comments have nothing to do with another and in fact you don't even mention the word "gun".
@@OptimusWombat why would somebody supporting and defending the precepts of the Constitution that was born of the American Revolution feel the need to fight another? And various members of my family fought in the Civil War and did so on the winning side. So, once more, why would I feel a need to fight another Civil War? Since you appear to be concerned with the welfare of the nation based upon these questions I’ll assume that you fully support free speech and the right to keep and bear arms. Because, it’s the people who don’t support those things fomenting revolution, and that wouldn’t be you now would it?
The last soldiers kill was the most powerful scene in this movie, but this video doesn't have it :( I always cry when I see it. He knew the soldier wasn't responsible for his son's death, but there was no stopping the rage.
And to this day, after seeing their father kill 45 soldiers, those boys never gave their old man any trouble.

Great scene as well as one of the bloodiest. It shows how far a father goes to protect his infants. Thumbs up!
One of my favourite movie. I watched it many times. The last battle is gorgeous!
"For the ones that I love, I will do great things. Great and terrifying things." I wish I remembered where I heard that.
Benjamin Martin: back in my day, hacking someone meant a whole different thing.
Lmao . that's good .
That's what happens when you don't give him back his son.
And when you kill another.
Shoutout to the cameraman who got that all on film for us to enjoy. Glad he wasn't hurt.
Truly one of the most vicious scenes in cinema... Boils the adrenaline. No one is like Mel when he goes all Mel on someone.
The british might have won were it not for those impractical outfits
but they wanna stand out, they wanna pop, they wanna look _goooooood_
hello Canadian Prepper
Rule no. 1: Look cool
Red makes good bullseye 🎯. Nuff said.
The British would have won if they weren't more interested in keeping India.
So funny when he jumps out from behind the tree and goes "BAHHHHH!".
I'm a simple guy. I see the words "Tomahawk Massacre" and I click on it.
Mell Gibson is so good at making movies. He knows that above everything, story, plot, characters, equality, the movie has to be fun and watchable. Its to bad he does not make movies as much as he used to.
Indeed, Apocalypto and Passion of the Christ is truly amazing. How many movies can have such success without any famous actors in it?
Most people I've met in a life consider Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester slow as their action heroes and so on but mine will always be Mel Gibson
Folks, this is a MOVIE. You people should not be taking its "historical inaccuracies" so seriously that it diminishes your enjoyment of the picture. I mean, what matters most in this scene is the fact that Mel's character is standing up for and defending his sons. He is trying to avenge his son's death and save the life of Heath Ledger, his oldest. And, Mel totally delivers. That's ALL that matters in this scene.
Templar Knight
What message?

If it was done right, that would be an interesting movie... like Letters From Iwo Jima.
The only problem is that they are making the british look like nazis in this movie.
@@josemaironpradopereira7435 And...? Did you know that the British had occupied so much more land than the Germans could ever hope to acquire before WW2? Churchill himself starved MANY Indians to death to financial his completely unnecessary war with Hitler.

Just stop...
I have watched this movie a dozen times or more. It never occurred to me until now that those two boys are veterans of the Revolutionary War.
These redcoats apparently got their masters at Stormtrooper university, and were all valedictorian at Stormtrooper high
They used smooth barrels with short barrels , they were accurate to 40 yards at most. Americand used actual rifles accurate out to 200 yards
@@zm1786 And the Americans grew up in the outdoors and hunting, the largely urban british did not.
@@zm1786 Bullshit smooth-bore muskets could hit a man sized target at 150 yards easily.
@@floatingchimney i'm pretty sure that range is usually only achievable by men of constant practice and experience like grenadiers, light infantry, and riflemen. these british are only line infantry and i don't think they have that capability. also you must keep in mind that they were surprised and were experiencing hit and run tactics which is something line infantry are not that use to
I remember being around 4 or 5 and watching this movie with my mom, this is her favorite scene out of the whole movie, and I’ve always wanted a tomahawk cause of this movie
to bad u aint getting one
When you are Level 100 and you go back to the beginning of the game.
0:55 that slow mo hit with the rifle ^^
Depends on the rifles weight when carrying it
Say what you want about Mel Gibson but he knows how to make a good movie.
Mel Gibson didn't make this, he was just the lead.
Although he was only the lead in this, Apocalypto was brilliant and I always enjoy Braveheart, even if it is the least historically accurate film ever made, but as a work of predominantly fiction it is very enjoyable.
Scratch that. Braveheart is the second most inaccurate film ever made. The first is most definitely U-571. Americans capturing the first enigma machine when it was the Royal Navy is a definite Hollywood embarrassment and completely disrespectful.
RIP and long live Heath Ledger (April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008), aged 28
You will always be remembered as a legend.
This is one of the greatest scenes ever.
One of the most badass scenes in all the movie history. At least in my opinion!
1:45- I love the horse is just chilling like- "Whatever, man" lol. Wouldn't all the loud gunshots and commotion usually startle and send them running?
This is actually a great background story of the Jokers father.
One of my favorite action scenes bar none. Nothing too fancy just realistic melee between Regulars trained in group warfare facing a guerilla veteran of multiple wars on home ground.
So much sword fighting in movies and the choreography is flowery, Here he is utilitarian and efficient and naturally unorthadox. That knife and hatchet are set like bone.
Rocky IV and The Patriot have brought out my patriotism for years now
The best scene in the whole movie! Badass!
1:52
*that guy looks awfully calm for someone who just got hit in the head with a tomahawk*
@1:09 when you realize your dad is a true badass!
And that, boys and girls, is the origin story of The Joker.
Me and me mates watched this before our senior skip party back in the day, got us so pumped up we crushed over 100 beers and took no prisoners. ‘Merica!!
Now imagine going back in time with an AR
If you're a father this scene can bring you to tears with how much you understand the rage in this scene. God himself couldn't help the evil soul(s) that would harm my children.
and then everyone stood up and clapped
Tomahawk chop is my death blow..
And that ladies and gentlemen is what we call SYNERGY.
How America needs men like this today. May God bless.
Yeah, we don't have combat soldiers today
Moral of the story, never piss off a dad
I know this is a 2000 movie but I still like how every time he grabs one of the soldier's weapons they just freeze and let him kill them lmao
He went all assassins creed 3 on everyone 😂😂
I thought this was gonna be about how the Joker really got his scars...
'start with the officers and work your way down.' plain and simple instructions are by far the best..
It's so interesting to see this close range fighting style. One thing I love about it, is when the Americans fought the native Indians, they learn their tactics of being light on their feet, move in hack and cut down, move again than strike again. Remembering the Last of the mohicans. What beauty of fighting technicians.
Yep, Mel's character in this movie was a veteran of the French and Indian War, so he had a lot of experience seeing it and fighting against it first hand.
One of my favorite movies 🇺🇸of all time😍💕
Benjamin: "What's the difference between Red Coats and an Onion?"
Gabriel: "I know not father. Pray tell"
Benjamin" I cry when I cut up an Onion
Mad Max, Lucius Malfoy, and The Joker in one movie? Probably one of the best crossover movies of all time!
You should check out Sleepy Hollow 1999 sometime: 3 Sith Lords, 2 characters from Harry Potter, Batman's Butler Alfred, Jack Sparrow, the list goes on and on.
Look at the cast sometime, it's insane.
Mel Gibson gave that Red Coat a 'splitting headache', literally.
That was amazingly original!
Awesome thanks again for sharing this with us all!
That's where the second ammendment comes in. You never give up your guns for this reason.
Please don’t compare life in 1776 to today…it just makes you look dumb.
@@Dime-bz6hc actually you’re the one who sounds dumb. Guerilla warfare, which is where almost all wars end up and which is exactly what this scene depicts, has barely changed in two hundred years. The rifles have improved, but it still ends up face to face and house by house, inch by inch. Ask any soldier who has ever been to Afghanistan, Russian or American. On the political front, suffice to say that there have certainly been few improvements in character .
@@TresLinguas Are you high or something...what does that have to do with anything said above. OP is clearly talking about civilians and their rights to bear arms via the 2nd amendment (which no longer really applies to live in a modern society but that is an argument for another time) and not about using firearms in combat. The two comments have nothing to do with another and in fact you don't even mention the word "gun".
Are you planning to fight another American Revolution? Or perhaps Civil War 2?
@@OptimusWombat why would somebody supporting and defending the precepts of the Constitution that was born of the American Revolution feel the need to fight another? And various members of my family fought in the Civil War and did so on the winning side. So, once more, why would I feel a need to fight another Civil War? Since you appear to be concerned with the welfare of the nation based upon these questions I’ll assume that you fully support free speech and the right to keep and bear arms. Because, it’s the people who don’t support those things fomenting revolution, and that wouldn’t be you now would it?
God bless Mel, God bless America. Regards from Poland.
Jak sie macz? We are the elite Calvary Na zadrovnia💪🤠
Na Zadrovnia 💪.
you don't EVER back talk your dad, after watching him throw down, like THIS.
Ah yes loved the training of the British regulars, "just stand there chaps and let him stab you, there you go!"
Pretty much every Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson movie: A man done wrong.
Good reaction shots of the kids suddenly realizing how savage war can be.
0:44 Me trying to scare my cat out of the bathroom at 3am 😂🤣
And thus after this encounter, America saw the most well behaved boys of the century.
The last soldiers kill was the most powerful scene in this movie, but this video doesn't have it :( I always cry when I see it. He knew the soldier wasn't responsible for his son's death, but there was no stopping the rage.
