Yeah, definitely didn't call that one on our end. Nothing but love to the Ukrainians fighting for their freedom, one of our Coffee or Die Magazine reporters is there too.
"Red Dawn" was made with the pizza budget of your average blockbuster. They did so good with so little money the CIA came sniffing around the set asking where did they get all the vehicles and weapons. This is an 80s classic.
The CIA were cometely dumbfounded how the studio was able to get a hold of a real operable T72, when they weren't able to, all during the Cold War. They also had a couple stunt men drop off target and nearly get shot by a farmer, seeing as the VDV uniforms and equipment were 1 for 1 accurate.
I'm always shocked how little people know about rank and file warfare. Drums were used to keep troops in step and signify when to ready, reload and fire as its easier to hear than a persons voice. Flags and ensigns were used to identify units for generals. Due to the nature of early fire arms the BEST and most effective way to fight was in close and in rank and file. Particularly because it gave infantry a counter to cavelry and was far easier to control units. Wasnt so much about being a gentleman but about being effective.
And that reloading while standing, with 2nd and 3rd ranks behind, just standing around is nonsense. Fire, kneel, reload. Next rank: fire, kneel, reload, etc.
I always thought it was because previously infantry fought with swords and shields, and would meet on open ground for large engagements, and the tactics were still a culmination of what was grandfathered in from then, and what they were experimenting with on the new weapon platform. But that is what you get when you just try to make sense of things with your limited knowledge and not research it. Thank you Moto.
I still gotta say, Predator has the most accurate firefight ever depicted on film: Contact, first guy who sees something starts blasting in the general direction of supposed opfor, the rest of the squad starts blasting and goes gang busters until it's more than obvious there's no more opposition firing back, then look for bodies. That was easily 90% of all actual firefights over the last 50 years.
Crispy, I love your attitude and ability to have gone through the hell you have been through and laugh at it all. You're a monument of hope to injured vets, well, all vets really. PLEASE reenact the Million rounds/no kill scene from predator!!! Please!
The lining up was to maximize the effectiveness of smoothbore Brown Bess muskets which were preferred for military use because they could be reloaded quicker than a rifle (they foul pretty quickly). 1000 dudes will hit SOMETHING. Thus, lines and marching were important, and flags were useful for that as well as for command and control by the generals. Drums are actually fairly useful to communicate orders over the din of battle and used for that purpose.
Also the drummers and banner carriers were usually to the side of the line and not usually targeted because you wanted the enemy to be disciplined and line up to receive your wall of musket balls not spread out and taking pot shots. It also made it easier to get them to run when they could see other people in the line die. And let's not forget before firearms people lined up to stab each other with pointy sticks, muskets are all in all much more civilized.
Two deployments, one each for OIF, then OEF. BOTH TIMES we had a Dude who could track well, and a bunch of good stuff. And BOTH times, there were full blooded American Indian.
Yes, that was a loss of innocence moment, and one of acknowledging that despite not wanting to kill a man that's no longer armed or an immediate threat, he has to to keep their survival and actions a secret. Fairly self-explanatory, and a great scene given the theme as a whole, and the time it came out.
The actor playing the Russian in charge of the invasion in Red Dawn was cast as a Russian in practically every movie in the 80's and 90's. He was actually American, but was fluent in Russia. He worked for the CIA as a Russian interpreter and interrogator before he got into acting.
@@gibwest4968 : I disliked your comment only because the gentleman died and death is often sad.. Fact is I actually like your comment because it is relevant and informative. Thanks. Semper Fi. God Bless.
Its not "gentlemanly" warfare. Though contemporary talk and even historical writings from the period would consider it a form of "gentleman's" warfare in which people stood bravely and resolute on an open field... Where as the Natives (and the Militia) were uncouth and utilizing "cowardly" tactics that negated line formation strengths whilst exploiting their weaknesses. Its the best use of massed volley fire with weapons that were only accurate to about 100 meters due to the lack of rifled barrels and ball munition being used. It was the only way to really conduct warfare, at least until the American Revolution. But even then, skirmishers and picket men were a thing, same as grenadiers. Marksmen were a truly rare breed of men (often legendary huntsmen). But the greater concept was to overcome the typical fears of explosives and the massive percussion of volley fire by having everyone drilled in a formation to stick together and stand shoulder to shoulder. As long as there was a man to your left and right, sharing the same threats and possibility of death, you didn't have so much fear... The best example and usage of these formations are those of the Swedish Army, especially in the late 17th going into the 18th Century. Ga Pa (Go on) was a strategy used by the Swedish line infantry to engage the enemy at the closest range possible. Most armies stop roughly 100 meters or so away and begin volley fire. The Swedes would march until they were 50 meters away, and then proceed to volley fire by rank. The strategy was daring, but almost always broke the enemy because they perceived the Swedes as having no fear, nearly suicidal. Edit: The drums (like most musical instruments found in such units of the time, even up to the Civil War and even the early years of the 20th Century) were used to loudly communicate orders. Remember during drill and ceremony, they would use the trumpet sound for each action (Parade Rest, Attention, etc)? The drums and other such things would be used to communicate the pace of march, the order to halt, to advance, to charge, to prepare weapons, fix bayonets, etc. They were designed to provide cohesive control from the command element to the rest of the unit, without the commander having to shout over the din and noise of the battlefield.
The idea of war being able to be fought "gentlemanly" endured until WWI, where things like the trench shotgun or submarines were labeled as "ungentlemanly" by people on the receiving end. Also, war was perceived very differently depending on who you asked. For ground troops it was desperately brutal. For fighter pilots it was almost like friendly competition, at least until 1918.
If the swedes were so good how come the Dutch were able to drive them out of the Delaware area clearing the way for Dutch colonization of the New York City area?
You guys really need to check out the shootout scenes in the movie Wind River with Jeremy Renner, BTW you guys rock and these videos always make my day
It's funny that they mentioned mud wouldn't cool your body enough to hide from thermal because they failed to realize that the jungle would not appear as cold as it does in Predator. The film crew had to constantly spray the scenes down with cold water to get short thermal shots for the predators vision.
Yea, 80's thermals can be defeated by modern tech, but modern thermals...well to quote GarandThumb "If the eye of Sauron see's you, you're fully fucked."
Drums in warfare are not just for morale. They were used to aid in marching by the beat of the drum. And the Spartans and likely other militarys used them for that, but also to give battle instruction. Different beats meant different battle instructions.
I love you guys and love the content you put out. There is never a video that doesn’t make me laugh out loud the whole time and wish I was in the room. The problem is every time I finish one I want to go watch all these movies now.
Have you seen the Australian knock-off to Red Dawn? That might be a little harsh but it's pretty damn close. The movie is Tomorrow, When the War Began.
Quick math using "cheap" 7.62 price here in Montana, they fired off $3,300 from the minigun in the scene from Predator. "Do you guys think there will ever be a full scale invasion again", "no", "It wouldn't be smart". Oh how quickly the world changes. Keep up the great videos guys!!
Patriot is a great movie. By far one of my favs for action scenes especially the scene they show where he gets the nickname "The Ghost", Red Dawn was a good choice especially for the times. I'm glad y'all did these ones. You guys should definitely recreate the "CONTACT!" scene from Predator. You guys would make it hilarious.
The guy Mel Gibson was portraying in the Patriot was known as the Swamp Fox. He founded Rigers' Rangers, which was the origin of the US Army Rangers. They did unconventional warfare, not battlefield engagements, unless they were used as skirmishers and snipers.
Different guy. The Swamp Fox was Francis Marion. The Rangers officially trace back to Robert Rogers, who was a British Officer in charge of the queens rangers during the french and indian war, and part of the revolutionary war. Though he fought for the British, a lot of soldiers and officers he trained ended up fighting for the American side.
The Patriot is...mostly bullshit. A lot of it very VERY loosely draws inspiration from real like people, places and events, but I wouldn't say that any of it is particularly accurate to one person, place, or event. Though they nailed how much of a cluster fuck the congresses were pretty spot on :/
"My Way" is pretty engaging in its action scenes. Particularly the "Battle of Hedosk", or when they're fighting in the Red Army. The ones depicting the fights during the Khalkhin Gol campaign are pretty graphic as well, but you definitely get a very raw feeling from the "Battle of Hedosk". The "Battle of Hedosk" wasn't a real battle, but it pretty much depicts the clash of the Wehrmacht and the Red Army on Soviet soil and the fighting conditions the Red Army provided. But it's a pretty good one that I don't think I've seen reviewed on this channel.
Drummer was for sounding orders so everyone could hear.......Military drummers have played a crucial role in warfare throughout history. Soldiers marched to battle to the sound of the drums and used the beat to regulate the loading and re-loading of their weapons during the battle.
Jason Isaacs (the guy who was the British Cavalry Commander) isn't always a bad guy. He was the Ranger Co. CO in Black Hawk Down and had a small part in Fury as, I think, another Co. Commander. He gets cast in quite a few roles as a good guy.
two scenes from an old Chinese war film [way back in the day]. they did an odd thing when calling for artillery support I've not seen in many war films, can you elaborate or explain if anyone has actually done it? title: Codename Flash scene 1 - 24:00 scene 2 - 1:17:00
What get's missed in the crazy shooting scene in Predator is that earlier their tracker noted that last team was shooting in all directions and now they were doing the exact same thing. That's scary.

I have two suggestions opposite ends of the genre, Master and Commander has some great Napoleonic navel warfare. Battlefield LA is ridiculous and I'd like to see what veterans would say about it. P.S. Richard if you watched Brandon Herrera's video on the guns in Red Dawn maybe you'd know what it was. Lol

As others probably pointed out the drummer was there because armies didn't have radio comms. It was the drummers responsibility to know what code to beat out to coordinate movements of men or materiel. However the drummer was never in the immediate frontline as shown here.
Actor Jason Issacs plays the bad guy, COL. Tavington, in The Patriot, doesnt always play a bad guy. He has played several good guy roles- One of his best, he played CPT. Steele in Black Hawk Down.
I believe Bill Duke had said that he had to put everything he had to keep that bullet hose level that his arms were pretty much useless for next few days because of the strain. And he was firing damn blanks.
Not a war movie, but a Canadian cop show called 19-2. Specifically the school shooting episode. The intensity is insane, made more so by the lack of music, kids screaming, hiding and running at random intervals, the maze like school layout, cops seem realistically freaked out, and I think the beginning is a ten minute uncut shot.
Great content! keep it up! Man crispy should be donating his his unused legs out to those who need them, they can be adjusted I sure love you guys! take care!
The line formations was because your musket couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. Put a whole bunch together though, and it's like a giant shotgun. It generally came down to the melee in the end. The flag tells you what your line is doing in the chaos, and you follow it. The drums also tells you what you should be doing during the absolute chaos that was battle, as you wouldn't be able to hear verbal orders.
With line warfare or musket warfare it looks awkward if you don't understand a few things. For the most part muskets were smoothbore, it wasn't until the 1850s and 60s that rifled muskets became common, as well as rounds that looked like what we have no. So due to poor range, they would close range to get a better shot on target. The reason for forming lines was due to horses. Lines made it harder for cav charges to go through the ranks. Battlefield musicians were important to help relay orders down the ranks. The sound of drums beat louder than a voice in an open field. The beat they would set would coincide with an officer's order. Depending on the battle or time, musicians didn't see as much combat, they would leave the ranks and join the men in the back. For that reason, flags were used to "relay" orders, each battalion had their own design alongside the national flags. Troops would follow these flags in the middle of battle when it was hard to see due to smoke. So, when Mel Gibson's character grabs the flag and runs back to the enemy, the order changes from a retreat to a charge.
Can we just take a moment to talk about the fact Billy has an entire shotgun undermounter to his m16...Thats goofy, heavy, impractical as hell. but BadASS
Never understood how the Predator's shoulder cannon projectile was moving fast enough to enter and exit the chest out of Jesse Ventura's character leaving a huge crater BUT when Arnold's character took a hit to the shoulder and his arm 💪was still attached and strong enough to pull the weight of that homemade bow which had to be crazy high to drive that arrow thru that tree when he was testing it... 🤣I guess it was the T-800 version lol
At the battle for New Orleans, knowing a battle was coming, the people with the best aim were backed up by 2 or 3 people reloading. A smaller force defeated a much larger force. More men were killed or wounded by the 16 lb club that was their empty musket.
Dillon! You son of a bitch! Tell us what movies we need to react to next.

Jason Isaacs, Col. Tavington, played Captain Steele in Black Hawk Down. In other words, not a bad guy.
Draco malfoy's daddy
When “crispy” was like,” yeah, fix drumsticks” I freakin lost it hahaha
I have two suggestions opposite ends of the genre, Master and Commander has some great Napoleonic navel warfare. Battlefield LA is ridiculous and I'd like to see what veterans would say about it.
P.S. Richard if you watched Brandon Herrera's video on the guns in Red Dawn maybe you'd know what it was. Lol
Mythbusters tested hiding your body heat using mud, and it works for at least a minute until your body heats it up to where you're visible again.
You should do classic war movies such as A Bridge Too Far, Sands of Iwo Jima, and Patton.
Battleground is excellent for the time it was made.
Great episode, really enjoyed it!
"Do you guys thing another full scale invasion would ever happen again? I dont think so..." Meanwhile in the Ukraine....
Hit up Coffee or Die Magazine ruclips.net/user/CoffeeorDiefeatured, we've got a guy on the ground in Kyiv right now.
Not going to lie as much as I love the whole crew Logan and Crispy are kind of my favorites
Richard Ryan: "A full scale invasion isn't realistic."
Russia: "Hold my beer."
R.I.P. William Smith. One of the most underrated actors of all time. He actually spoke Russian also.
Dude led one hell of a life
President Zelensky of Ukraine probably needs some Black Rifle Coffee, the guy hasn't slept since Wednesday. God Bless Ukraine and all their soldiers and civilians.
Loved it. Thank You.
"Do you think a full scale invasion will ever happen again?..... No"
That aged like Ukrainian milk
"If your body is so encapsulated that the heat's not coming out, you're gonna overheat really fast."
"That's what happens, everyday, to me, okay."
(Start of my [fanfic])
"Then let's see how I can start helping." *starts removing each other's shirts*
I always loved the sound the RPG made in Red Dawn.
Is that the legendary Logan Stark and the hero himself Mr Crispy!? Well God damn it's a all star roster today Thanks Richard
As others probably pointed out the drummer was there because armies didn't have radio comms. It was the drummers responsibility to know what code to beat out to coordinate movements of men or materiel. However the drummer was never in the immediate frontline as shown here.
“Do you think a full scale invasion would ever happen again” fast forward to today
There is only one person I can think of that can recreate any pew pew scene! Demo Ranch!!!!
Actor Jason Issacs plays the bad guy, COL. Tavington, in The Patriot, doesnt always play a bad guy. He has played several good guy roles- One of his best, he played CPT. Steele in Black Hawk Down.
I know this is an old video but I like going back to the classics and anytime you can watch crispy that’s a win for me that’s my guy
I was In tears laughing, love it guys, keep up the awesome work
I believe Bill Duke had said that he had to put everything he had to keep that bullet hose level that his arms were pretty much useless for next few days because of the strain.
And he was firing damn blanks.
The rifles in Red Dawn are Egyptian Maadi MISRs - imported to the US as the ARM.
Not a war movie, but a Canadian cop show called 19-2. Specifically the school shooting episode. The intensity is insane, made more so by the lack of music, kids screaming, hiding and running at random intervals, the maze like school layout, cops seem realistically freaked out, and I think the beginning is a ten minute uncut shot.
2:38 - Hollywood Weapons with Terry Schapert actually addressed this, with Bill Duke on the show! It was great!
Great content! keep it up! Man crispy should be donating his his unused legs out to those who need them, they can be adjusted I sure love you guys! take care!
"was that supposed to be some loss of innocense?" You know for a fact all he felt his first time was a bit of recoil.
The line formations was because your musket couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. Put a whole bunch together though, and it's like a giant shotgun. It generally came down to the melee in the end. The flag tells you what your line is doing in the chaos, and you follow it. The drums also tells you what you should be doing during the absolute chaos that was battle, as you wouldn't be able to hear verbal orders.
Definitely want to see you guys re-create the Predator firefight.
Hyena road!!!!! Honestly a pretty good Modern Canadian Military film, would love to see you guys react to that movie.
Those mustaches are definitely awesome! 😂
There is always one courageous French Guy, it’s the other few thousand for each of him that keep letting them down.
The British fought the gurkas, they got slaughtered with 8inch knives. Not all conscripts had hand to hand training besides stab forward and win.
With line warfare or musket warfare it looks awkward if you don't understand a few things. For the most part muskets were smoothbore, it wasn't until the 1850s and 60s that rifled muskets became common, as well as rounds that looked like what we have no. So due to poor range, they would close range to get a better shot on target. The reason for forming lines was due to horses. Lines made it harder for cav charges to go through the ranks. Battlefield musicians were important to help relay orders down the ranks. The sound of drums beat louder than a voice in an open field. The beat they would set would coincide with an officer's order. Depending on the battle or time, musicians didn't see as much combat, they would leave the ranks and join the men in the back. For that reason, flags were used to "relay" orders, each battalion had their own design alongside the national flags. Troops would follow these flags in the middle of battle when it was hard to see due to smoke. So, when Mel Gibson's character grabs the flag and runs back to the enemy, the order changes from a retreat to a charge.
The Ol' Painless minigun was modified to only fire at like 1500rpm, to reduce recoil amd be more photogenic. Still insane
Can we just take a moment to talk about the fact Billy has an entire shotgun undermounter to his m16...Thats goofy, heavy, impractical as hell. but BadASS
Please, please.... please have the BRCC family re-enact all the iconic scenes from predator would be so dam badass!
forget being the drummer boy, Imagine being the flag bearer that charges in with the flagstaff! Think of the movie Glory for reference.
Crispy rocking a shirt with himself on it is the most chad move I’ve seen in awhile.
Never understood how the Predator's shoulder cannon projectile was moving fast enough to enter and exit the chest out of Jesse Ventura's character leaving a huge crater BUT when Arnold's character took a hit to the shoulder and his arm 💪was still attached and strong enough to pull the weight of that homemade bow which had to be crazy high to drive that arrow thru that tree when he was testing it... 🤣I guess it was the T-800 version lol
I always thought the blast hit his rifle first which is why it blew apart and took most of the impact.
"We were Soldiers" would be amazing to see a review on....
Covered at the 7:35 mark of Veterans React EP16: ruclips.net/video/C5-Nnn4u6F0/видео.html
More react videos with Crispy and Logan Stark please!
Would love to see firefighter/veterans react to ladder 49, backdraft, and clips from station 19 and 911
At the battle for New Orleans, knowing a battle was coming, the people with the best aim were backed up by 2 or 3 people reloading. A smaller force defeated a much larger force. More men were killed or wounded by the 16 lb club that was their empty musket.
The guns and other weapons in "Revenge" (2017) would be a heckin' good movie for a reaction!
Him a full scale invasion will never happen again
Russia in 2022: that debatable
You guys gotta do braveheart. In keeping with Mel Gibson movies where his closest family members dies.
Awesome content guys cracked me up. Keep it going
