My dad and all my relatives were extras on here . This movie was made west of calgary . Its awesome to have played as yukimura sanada on samurai warriors. Played as takeda on shogun and to find out years later my dad standing in takeda armour as an extra
I absolutely love how realistic this part of this fight scene is @7:00 . LITERALLY almost all movies show armies, blindly rushing in with spears and swords in hand, seemingly ready to impale themselves as they just run and charge into the enemy forces. This however, shows the armies never, EVER, breaking their ranks and formation to start randomly fight one on one amongst the entire enemy force. The ones that do break formation, are the ones that end up getting picked off and killed. Fuckin awesome.
The men armed with the long spears, Yari, are doing the old "push of pike," like European armies from the 15th, 16th and early 17th centuries. swap uniforms, armor styles, add a little artillery and this could be Pavia or Lutzen. Convergent evolution, military style. You're right. This is really well done!
sorry to say but this was not the way armies fought at the time. Infantries armed with pikes fought in very tight rangs, each man was very close to next in line, literally shoulder to shoulder. Cavalry never stops to fight the enemy standing still, they swipe the field cutting and slashing whatever in their way...
The Sengoku Jidai is one of my favorite historical periods. The Armor, Banners (Sashimono) and weapons of the period are really cool and the personalities involved (Oda Nobunaga, Hediyoshi Toyotomi, Takeda Shingen and a whole host of others) makes reading about the period interesting. But it is easy to forget that there was great suffering during this period, many civilians died and being a lowly Ashigaru probably wouldn't have been all that hot.
Tokugawa Ieyasu managed to establish himself as the undisputed ruler of Japan after getting rid of Ishida Mitsunari at the Battle of Sekigahara and Toyotomi Hideyori at the Siege of Osaka
idk being ashigaru was probaly not so bad we often has the perception of farmers living in peace etc when in realitly they where often raided and ridded by disize so they wouldnt have found it so different probaly even more fun since they went on a adventure, since they basicly died where they where born. battles where probaly scary yes but there where not that many casaulties like in ww1 the many casaulties where mostly beceuse of the routs. but there was still loads of disize. and also they get paid much more if they do well they can be promoted to samurai in the earlier senguko jidai wich can lead their families out of the missery as living as a farmer. but it still depends on the person and position in society. my point is that being a soldier was probaly sometimes even better then staying at home.
@@goodcomrade2949 It truly all depends, you are right, an Ashigaru who performed well could get a promotion, maybe given a title or some land, but those were few and far between. Peasent life in those days wasnt so hot I agree, but being on the bottom of the command chain as well as being expendable to some degree, plus having to do a vast majority of the manual labor in the camp....no, It would have been neither glamourus or fun. Plus if your Clan that you were from wasnt so succesful in battle it would be a decent chance you would get beheaded....either during a battle or after a siege. There are examples of clemency after seiges, but many examples of brutality as well...again, it would be a difficult existence and having a couple handfuls of rice to eat a day would be difficult over a long campaign season. I am happy however to agree to disagree...happened a long time ago and your sources might say something different to mine. One place we can agree is that the period is fascinating and fun to read about.
My mother's ancestors fought against Uesugi Kenshin and served Maeda Toshiie. I think that fighting with steel swords is much more dangerous than people realize. My son thinks that the Sengoku Jidai is a game and told him that it was not a good time for anyone.
@@deadby15 I think that living in those times was hell on earth and my grandfather fought in the Russo-Japanese War at the Battle of Port Arthur. He told my father that some soldiers fought against Russians using Japanese samurai swords. The fighting was extremely intense. My father fought in WWII against the Germans in Italy and in France and you cannot believe the carnage.
Wilson: I've won battles against them with just spearmen, archers and a few cavalry. Don't fight them on level ground and they ain't they ain't near as effective as they should be.
Shogun1: Total war learned a lot from this film. No kidding. Aslo Shogun1 was the first Total war game. So you can imagine the film shocked people of that time. There was not anything like this before.
I don't know why I love so much about Samurai and their culture. Now in the 21st century, some of them in Japan still keep their tradition and their custom alive which I loved the most.
Which would be a joke in the eyes or Sengoku samurai, because most of the so called samurai culture was a Edo period forgery when the samurai were no more than poor fedual lords or lowly guard for wealthy merchants. The only samurai culture that is not a joke would be Oribe-ryu Chato, which most westerners can hardly understand, let alone its appreciation.
@@therac197 True, I would say Edo period laid many foundations for future interpretations of Bushido, and militarists during Meiji and Taisho period elaborated those concepts into what we know as Bushido today, in the due course mystifying many ancient figures to set example for their version of Bushido code and promote militarist ideals, and the neo-militarist represented by Mishima Yukio further modernised its concept to support their cultural defense theory, formulating the far right sentiment we see today.
Suwa Taisha shrine, one of the oldest shrines in Japan, is located within Takeda's territory.

Red with the four diamond emblem are the Takeda. The dark blue with the Japanese hanji are the Uesugi. The two clans were legendary rivals during the Sengoku Jidai.
You know what is good about this japanese show? Its the way they portray the battle, actually using military formations and not that stuff of ignoring the line and start pushing and rekting enemy lines
@@fsdds1488 outlaw king did some good things, yet they failed with absolute historical accurate combat and martial arts (kind of an ok to that) and some of the armors just... Over sized, broken mail coats... That probably didnt happen. The King tried, did some good too but that cavalry charge with swords and some of the armors... Just Meh. Vikings messed everything up with biker leather vests here and there and Knightfall... Decent show, but with alot of historical errors (many on purpose)
Actually the battle plan for this battle was Yamamoto kansuke`s, it was his idea to seperate the army in the hope of catching kenshin unaware, but kenshin must have has the same idea, this was the 4th battle of kawanakajima and the bloodiest, it's also where Kansuke would commit seppuku for putting his lord in danger, it's also where Shingen and Kenshin would meet on the battlefield or more importantly Kenshin would get inside Shingens camp and attack him, Shingen not having time to draw his sword used his battle fan to ward of the blows from Kenshin's sword, after this Kenshin was forced from Shingens camp and retired from the battlefield, Takeda Shingen stayed, this would be a Takeda Victory, it wasn't the last time these two foes would face each other there was to be a fifth meeting at Kawanakajima, which was pretty much a staring contest with minor skirmishes..

I live 5 mins away from the battle field and I drive pass there everyday to work. It's nice knowing many people around the world knows about my home town. Team Uesugi baby!!!

@@Petey0707 They are not, otherwise the Uesugi would have marched on Kyoto, but they didnt, Shingen on the other hand beat a combined force of Tokugawa and Nobunaga Samurai, in fact he decimated them, Ieyasu barely got away with his life..
@@OldAgeTeddyboy They almost did, crazy enough. Takeda Shingen’s son Takeda Katsuyori and Uesugi Kenshin entered into an alliance in 1578 to defeat Oda and Tokugawa, but he fell ill to esophageal cancer.

@@shingokatou surprise! heiei mountain monks and ikko ikki honganji buddist sects even went to war and join the coalition with samurai clans to attack Oda Nobunaga during sengoku period...
Fun fact, "Memoirs of the former Uesugi retainers" has revealed that Kenshin at the later stage of this battle was ambushed by a small force of routed Takeda soldiers and has his elite Hatamoto samurai defeated, he barely eascaped the slaughter because his two retainers, Honjo Shigenaga and Nagao Fujikage brought reinforcements and saved him, later he would accuse these two man of disloyalty because they have the delusion of being their master's saviour and had Shigenaga killed, Fujikage was informed of this incident and rebelled to save his own life, this showed how a jerk and weak ass Kenshin is in real life.
This is my favorite battle of the Sengoku era because of the strategies and the discipline involved on both sides! Truly, a masterful clash between a tiger and a dragon!
Nah, at that first cavalry charge they did hit their legs tho, making them fall. On other parts i think they were trained to fall there. Anywhere, cant really tell and i dont doubt they did hurt some horses
上杉軍が発している「オン・ベイシラマンダヤ・ソワカ」迫力があります。この真言((मन्त्र Mantra)の訳語「(仏の)真実の言葉、秘密の言葉」)は当時実際に映像に写っている出演した足軽から自然に発せられたと聞いたことがあります。 The Uesugi army's chant "On Beisiramandaya Sowaka" is powerful. I have heard that this mantra (translation of "Buddha's true words, secret words") was spontaneously uttered by the foot soldiers who appeared in the film.
They were the army of Suwa Taisha, a famous Japanese shrine. Their purpose was to intimidate the enemy with their authority as the commander of the army of the gods, and to frighten them with the injustice and distrust of attacking the army of the gods. However, Kenshin called himself the reincarnation of the Buddhist deity Bishamonten, and so he mercilessly attacked the army of the gods.
I would love to see a full dramatized TV show about either end or the whole Sengoku Jidai era. I wanted to add that I saw brief history of this era and at the end the exchange of power was swift and brutal. Which is why I think it would make for a good TV show kind of like Rome.
Actually, both forces were thick fog, and they could not see each other until they clashed together. This was famous history of Japan and as poem also.
To quote the legendary military strategist and general, Sun Tzu: “ No man can win a battle in Floral Orange. I mean it’s orange. Dude! Please!” (end of quote)
Bishanonte swadha.... Swadha is a indian term which comes from sanskrit "Swaha" which means sacrifice and glory tl(to the person/deity/god). "Agnaye Swaha" means glory and sacrifice (butter, milk, cream or, other things) to the Agni or, fire (in sanskrit). Here Agni is the personification or, deitified force of Fire.
all generals and daimyos in shogun 2 uses the same battle speeches and voice actor, shingen's voice can be heard during the cutscenes like the intro, realm divide and victory
Not realistic enough though, they still look like a brawl compared to the push of pikes in Alatriste, and despite some actor trying hard to use Yari property by slashing, most just poke their counterparts like it was supposed to thrust, and the formation is too deep, in reality there would be a single line of yari ashigaru with a second line with samurai using short spear, the remaining forces stayed in formation behind, once the ashigaru spearmen slapped their opponents to ground then would the samurai go forward and poke the fallen enemy, in case of a cavalry charge men would form a single line and kneel down, once they are in range the spearmen would stand up and poke the horses.
I think they're trying to simulate the rank fire tactic they would use in that era, where one rank fires then retreats to the back of the formation to reload and the rank after it repeats the process until the first rank has successfully reloaded@@mikearmstrong8483
Actually there was lots of clan names spread towards japan, some ones with great importance and some with zero, there was actually two takeda daymios, but we generally only know the most famous and important. By that time, some minor shimazu and mori kinsman served the Uesugi, their troops used their banners but with Uesugi colours
its just the similarity of crest. Even the Ikeda clan crest have the similarity with Taira clan butterfly crest... the imagawa and ashikaga crest looks quite similar too, but with different lines.
12:55: I laugh every time. Not at the two fighting in the foreground but look behind them. Tell me that guy runnin for his life from the other with the spear ain't hilarious?
WithAStick AngryWhiteMan: It's just looks so authentic. I still wonder if it was intentional or an on the spot moment thing. That's exactly how an unarmed person would look running from someone with a spear........don't ask me how I know this........
Cretinous Jester: It was very carefully arranged stages. Japanese done no shit to their own historical stories, You will never see a black guy in this kind of films, everything was based on correctness not political correctness.

Highlight of the battle 9:22 Wardrums vs. Arqubussiers/muskets......
Guns were a game changer and that is no exaggeration
@@morningmidnight9398 You can blame the Portuguese for that. Shimazu loved them guns.
@@bitTorrentershimazu implement the guns,but not in mass as they thought it's extraordinary,the oda and ikko ikki are the one who love that gun
この頃の角川は金持ってたなぁ…カナダロケでエキストラもほとんど外国人。
黒人さんもいたけど引きで撮っているし、甲冑付けているから分かり辛くしてる。
お陰で合戦シーンも割と迫力あるものに仕上がっている。
この時の武田軍は全身黒色の甲冑なんだよな
第四次川中島から山縣昌景隊(武田騎馬隊)が赤の甲冑で全身を揃えたことから、武田軍は赤の甲冑というのが今までの間で広まって定着しちゃったんだよな
この時の山縣隊は矢が雨のように降ってくる戦場を駆け巡ったことから上杉軍は恐怖して士気が下がり、武田軍は士気が上がり、信玄公からも目立つ赤色が活躍していたことから働きを十分認められたといいます
上杉家臣の小島弥太郎と山県昌景が一騎討ちで組み合ってる時に、
義信が危なくなってたので、小島に懇願して見逃して貰って山県が救援に駆け寄ったという逸話もあるよ。
別動隊が駆けつけた時、武田本隊の2/3部隊以上が戦闘不能になってたから、いかに上杉軍の猛攻が凄まじいか。
その逸話は知りませんでした
勉強になります
4:12 "oM vaizravaNaaya svaahaa": mantra of Vaiśravaṇa, 毘沙門天 in Japanese, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, which Uesugi Kenshin worshipped.
What is the point of all these silly battles? Pointless killing for the overlord who is just another greedy human.
@@fitnesspoint2006 Indeed. If they were born in our era, all the buddhists would harshly criticise them.
@@shingokatou surprise! heiei mountain monks and ikko ikki honganji buddist sects even went to war and join the coalition with samurai clans to attack Oda Nobunaga during sengoku period...
Fun fact, "Memoirs of the former Uesugi retainers" has revealed that Kenshin at the later stage of this battle was ambushed by a small force of routed Takeda soldiers and has his elite Hatamoto samurai defeated, he barely eascaped the slaughter because his two retainers, Honjo Shigenaga and Nagao Fujikage brought reinforcements and saved him, later he would accuse these two man of disloyalty because they have the delusion of being their master's saviour and had Shigenaga killed, Fujikage was informed of this incident and rebelled to save his own life, this showed how a jerk and weak ass Kenshin is in real life.
did takeda shingen write this
@@Ryan_Garrie Go read Echigo Fumishu
@@Ryan_Garrie You mean you didnt know this??

*Nobunaga
Bro you speak English. I didn't know they also spoke English back then lol
This is my favorite battle of the Sengoku era because of the strategies and the discipline involved on both sides! Truly, a masterful clash between a tiger and a dragon!
OK wushu joe

どうなりますかね?
Did they really cut the horses down as shown in this movie?
Nah, at that first cavalry charge they did hit their legs tho, making them fall. On other parts i think they were trained to fall there. Anywhere, cant really tell and i dont doubt they did hurt some horses
上杉軍が発している「オン・ベイシラマンダヤ・ソワカ」迫力があります。この真言((मन्त्र Mantra)の訳語「(仏の)真実の言葉、秘密の言葉」)は当時実際に映像に写っている出演した足軽から自然に発せられたと聞いたことがあります。
The Uesugi army's chant "On Beisiramandaya Sowaka" is powerful. I have heard that this mantra (translation of "Buddha's true words, secret words") was spontaneously uttered by the foot soldiers who appeared in the film.
What were the drums doing? They came out and then quickly died
They were the army of Suwa Taisha, a famous Japanese shrine. Their purpose was to intimidate the enemy with their authority as the commander of the army of the gods, and to frighten them with the injustice and distrust of attacking the army of the gods. However, Kenshin called himself the reincarnation of the Buddhist deity Bishamonten, and so he mercilessly attacked the army of the gods.
I would love to see a full dramatized TV show about either end or the whole Sengoku Jidai era. I wanted to add that I saw brief history of this era and at the end the exchange of power was swift and brutal. Which is why I think it would make for a good TV show kind of like Rome.
There are so many Japanese taiga dramas regarding the Sengoku period.
Actually, both forces were thick fog, and they could not see each other until they clashed together. This was famous history
of Japan and as poem also.
To quote the legendary military strategist and general, Sun Tzu: “ No man can win a battle in Floral Orange. I mean it’s orange. Dude! Please!” (end of quote)
Why ashigaru wear samurai,s hellmets? Instead of simple iron hats
What's the chant Uesugi clan does while marching?
some buddhist prayer.
Will somebody explain those drum (8:54) marching into guns and getting shredded?
No but seems weird. No troops try to help. Was it realistic to actually events ?
It's ritual of takeda clan to boost moral.
公開当時酷評されたと思うが、今見返すと意外な傑作かも?
ほんまおもんないで!!
角川社長が黒澤の真似事したオナニー映画っすわ。
4:13 i hear they're saying bishamonten hesonao
Bishanonte swadha....
Swadha is a indian term which comes from sanskrit "Swaha" which means sacrifice and glory tl(to the person/deity/god).
"Agnaye Swaha" means glory and sacrifice (butter, milk, cream or, other things) to the Agni or, fire (in sanskrit). Here Agni is the personification or, deitified force of Fire.

4:37
Did he just say "oh-shit!"
goddammit I can't unhear it now
I think he did!
4:36
I heard “dog shit”
it's "yoku kike" (listen carefully)
敵陣に向け、太鼓を打ち鳴らしながら進む様は無謀にも思えるが、スコットランドのバグパイプ演奏にも通じるものがある。
士気を上げるのに一役買ってるんだろうな
Lol, I didn't know. so Shimazu clan fought on Uesugi sight in that battle or it's just other clan?
hahahah, its just the same kamon (clan crest) if you see again there is a flag that is the same with toyotomi kamon too
Why does it look more like total war shogun than the real fight i mean i havent seen movies showing so detailed battle with formations
Because the combat in most cases are shit and without logic in many movies
Why did Shingen's voice here similiar to the battle speeches in Total War: Shogun 2? Was he the same voice actor?
all generals and daimyos in shogun 2 uses the same battle speeches and voice actor, shingen's voice can be heard during the cutscenes like the intro, realm divide and victory
8:52 Can anyone tell me the sense of this scene?...
These guys fought one hell of a battle!

yo, what was the deal with those ladies with the giant drums? that seemed like a grave tactical error...
I wondered that too
Beautiful video! My like and support!
Impresionantes ejércitos, gallardos, disciplinados, poderosos, leales... no entiendo cómo no dominaron el mundo de esa época
No tenian armada , imposible.
@@gustavolebrech8883, es cierto, Japón es una isla y por lo leído sus mares son bravos y difíciles de navegar.
The musket formation is incorrect at 6:50-6:55.
What are the Uesugi troops chanting? Are they invoking Bishamonten?
So, we've got English narration, but no subtitles?
so uuh could anyone explain the context for the three drummer carrages getting killed? seems a bit random lol
Are they going to use the 8 gate formation 🤔
i wonder what's the point of Suwa force (the one using drums) in this battle? they got guned down pretty fast
Anyone know if this is streaming anywhere? Apparently Netflix had it at one point but no longer.
Is this from some documentary I am not familiar with?
6:55 HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE MOST REALISTIC FIGHTING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH WHERE WAS THIS GEM HIDDEN?
Some awesome coordination and camera panning there, trying to show as much units marching as possible.
Not realistic enough though, they still look like a brawl compared to the push of pikes in Alatriste, and despite some actor trying hard to use Yari property by slashing, most just poke their counterparts like it was supposed to thrust, and the formation is too deep, in reality there would be a single line of yari ashigaru with a second line with samurai using short spear, the remaining forces stayed in formation behind, once the ashigaru spearmen slapped their opponents to ground then would the samurai go forward and poke the fallen enemy, in case of a cavalry charge men would form a single line and kneel down, once they are in range the spearmen would stand up and poke the horses.
Yeah, those quick firing smokeless-powder muskets were especially realistic.
I think they're trying to simulate the rank fire tactic they would use in that era, where one rank fires then retreats to the back of the formation to reload and the rank after it repeats the process until the first rank has successfully reloaded@@mikearmstrong8483
9:10 never got this part, why the marching band parade in front of enemy shooting squad like that?
That is some kind of takeda's ritual in a battle, like a morale booster.
@@julian-p The other way around. It's supposed to demoralize the enemy that sees holy figures get killed. Bad omen. I think*
13:30 上杉軍に武田の家紋が混じっている気がするんだが、気のせいか?というか、島津とか、いろんな家紋が出てくるけど良いのかな?
島津家はいるでしょ。
島津忠直、信濃島津氏。川中島にも従軍してます。
Ok tell me.. how u get a cameraman back in time.. I want this job
what movie is that?
7:36 This is why teachers say work together
4:23の上杉軍は何と言っているんですか?
オン ベイ シラ マンダヤ ソワカ
真言宗の真言ですね。
毘沙門天と一体になる時に唱えるので、毘沙門天の力を授かれる~みたいな自己暗示。
一向衆の一向一揆が「南無阿弥陀仏~」と唱えて戦ってたのに近い。こちらは他力本願という思想があるように、全てを阿弥陀如来に捧げて一心不乱に戦う~という自己暗示。
戦う事に恐怖を感じさせない洗脳みたいなもんです。
十字軍だってイスラム軍だって、デウスやアラーの加護を授かろうとしてから戦うので、それと同じですね。
戦前の日本軍の突撃には、味方軍に恐怖を感じさせない為に「ワッショイ!ワッショイ!」と言いながら突撃してた事例もありました。
Name of the film is
Heaven and Earth!😎
i saw some shimazu crest and mori like crest in uesegi side.
Some clans has similiar or even the same symbol/crests.
Actually there was lots of clan names spread towards japan, some ones with great importance and some with zero, there was actually two takeda daymios, but we generally only know the most famous and important. By that time, some minor shimazu and mori kinsman served the Uesugi, their troops used their banners but with Uesugi colours
its just the similarity of crest. Even the Ikeda clan crest have the similarity with Taira clan butterfly crest... the imagawa and ashikaga crest looks quite similar too, but with different lines.
who do they say when they arrive on the battlefield, the men of the Uesugi clan?Please.
Is the narrator the miller from Kingdom Come Deliverance?
So what was the point of those big drums?
No field artillery?
There were no records of field artillery in this particular battle, but in the battle of sekigahara... They were all over the place
Extras! No CGI. Love it.
And those falls off the horses. Taking big bumps. Probably rodeo cowboys doing the stunt work.
Been wanting to find Ten toChi to but haven't been able to yet. Hope the internet answers my prayers.
Was that a young Katsumodo in the fray?
I guess subtitles weren’t a thing in 1561
Can someone explain to me why are there banners with other clan mon?
those mon represent their vessels, specifically telling where which generals are in a midst of battle
@@aberyusuke8985 thank you, that explains it
What is the point of allowing your drummers to get mowed down like that? Its a rhetorical question.
In Glorious 480p...perfect for the respect of these Great Warriors!
No yari ashigaru?
12:55: I laugh every time. Not at the two fighting in the foreground but look behind them. Tell me that guy runnin for his life from the other with the spear ain't hilarious?
Cretinous Jester I’m done bro😂😂😂
the guy being chased does not have a spear, so he runs away. The heroic music makes it funnier. ^^
He threw weapons away also lost his little back flag, A SSSSShameful displarrrrrry ...
WithAStick AngryWhiteMan: It's just looks so authentic. I still wonder if it was intentional or an on the spot moment thing. That's exactly how an unarmed person would look running from someone with a spear........don't ask me how I know this........
Cretinous Jester: It was very carefully arranged stages. Japanese done no shit to their own historical stories, You will never see a black guy in this kind of films, everything was based on correctness not political correctness. I also heard the first generation of Total War game was inspired by this very film. (called Japanese general total war or something like that :P)
What was the deal with the drummers being carried into battle? Seems like a bad move unless there was something strategic about it.
5:44 isn't that Shimazu flag?
A better question wuuld be why Shingen looks so old when he was 41 at this point.
島津と同じ一族が上杉軍にいるので、島津と同じ旗を使ってる。
Shimazu had many branches,they all spread in minor and follow big clan in honshu island
Why waste bullets on killing the music:(
A Black Day my Lord, our general has fallen!
The men are fatigue my lord and some must rest!!!
