The Fury tank is a real WW2 Sherman tank, loaned by Bovington Tank Museum in the UK. It is on display there and is regularly driven in displays. The German Tiger tank in the film is also the only operational one in the world also at Bovington and is brought out and driven yearly on their Tiger day
@coldflame… hey man, I have a question you might can answer you seem pretty knowledgeable. In the movie, was the Sherman with the longer barrel and the flame suppressor on it a Mark IV Firefly? I’ve never seen it depicted in any movies, but I know the British and Italians used them quite a bit in World War II. I think instead of the regular 75 mm shell they used 76.5 mm high velocity 17 pound shells to great effect.
The Americans never used the Firefly because they didn’t want a foreign gun on their tanks. The tank used by Fury is a 76mm gun which would give them somewhat of a chance against German tanks.
@@jacobninedorf4121late reply I know The tank in the movie is a m4a3e8 which were nicknamed easy eights. It did have a 76mm gun (but not the gun used in the firefly) it also has better suspension armour and was all around a improvement over earlier varients. It was so good they kept using them well after ww2 and it was still in service during the Korean war.
In a Deleted Scene, it talks about how Wardaddy lost his wife and his little brother. This makes more sense why he wanted to stay and hold the crossroad, he wanted to die.
Yeah, but I think it’s a movie, not based off of a book and if they took it out, it’s because it didn’t suit the story. Me personally I thought it was too extra also.
The German Tiger tanks were vastly superior to the US Sherman tanks. The armor on the Tiger tank was thinner in the rear, so the Shermans had to get a point blank shot from the rear. Made things alot harder. My Grandpa was infantry in WWII and told me when I joined the Army to "Stay away from the tanks cuz everybody shoots at the tanks."
Vastly superior is a bit of an overstatement. There was a true Tigerphobia on the Allies part. The reality was that the tiger while a technological marvel suffered from being a bit over engineered and major maintenance issues. The Sherman was a far more reliable tank with obviously the numbers to match. Later models of the Sherman such as the firefly or like Fury in this movie possessed guns that were capable of penetrating a tiger from the front. From a Marine infantryman to your father please thank him for his service and I completely agree with him.
@@martindean612 no war veteran ever confirmed it, i saw an interview year ago, he said a lone tiger took out 19 out of 20 sherman and sherman firefly in a head on tank battle and it can take 6 shermans to out maneuver and take out a tiger close and if they are lucky, one or two tank survives There is another record of a sherman 76MM had to fire 14 rounds to take out a tiger You comment just invalid to real experience and what veterans told us.

Yep, that scene around the table with the guys losing it, that's a preview of millions of households in the U.S in the late 40s and 50s, and why all those stereotypical 50s dads in old shows were so messed up and had messed up, dysfunctional relationships with their kids. Because you can't go through what these vets have gone through and then come back to a civilian world that is so completely different, where nobody except other messed up vets know what you went through and experienced and had to do, and just switch right back to civilian mode. Especially when you have trauma you can't process or talk about to anyone and the people who are supposed to be closest and most important to you can't even comprehend it.

In actual combat, the Tiger would have turned to a ten-thirty or two-thirty position, turret facing the enemy. This would have maximized their armor protection. The crews were trained in this maneuver. The Tiger main gun had superior range, and they would have remained stationary, methodically knocking out the Shermans as they advanced. The Tiger would not have engaged the Shermans up close, due to their greater speed and maneuverability. But that would have made for a very different (and shorter) movie.
Imagine getting thrown off the truck, on ur way to a office position to aid in the war, chucked into a Tank, Become a Killer....fall in love, have ur heart broken, and almost die 10+ times all in 2-3 days... Fucking hell.
A common military tactic is to use smoke to conceal retreat, and sometimes to obscure the enemy's view during an attack. Real world they could have hit that Tiger tank with a bunch of WP rounds (quick smoke between them and the Tiger) and then hauled ass away from it, or at least tried. Generally you don't want to use smoke when you are in a fixed position, as they did from the tank when they had to go outside, because attackers can then get close without your seeing them; such as when the German soldiers were able to get close enough to use the Panzerfausts. In a real world fight there is often so much dust and smoke from vehicles, munitions and fires that you can't see much anyway.
My grandpa was in the german air force during WWII and had he not joined then he would have been shot. So when you said that some of the germans were forced to do that, it's very true. My grandpa was in a foxhole and the Americans threw a grenade into it. The grenade blew off the other guys head and my grandpa was captured and shipped to the United States as a prisoner of war. After the war, he went back to Germany and married my grandma and when my mom was 2 years old, they immigrated to the United States.
A good war movie is one that doesn't pick sides and romanticize the war and glorify it. A good war movie shows the bloody and gruesome part of war few people are willing to face and accept. A good war movie shows the reality of war. All that slaughter. And for what?
The reason why Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) refused to abandon his tank at the crossroads was because earlier in the movie (right after they left Emma's apartment) he was briefed by the captain to "get to the crossroads and hold at all costs" The captain said a supply train with "a couple thousand cooks, mechanics and doctors" would be fucked if the Germans hit them.
Another Movie suggestion would be "Jarhead" (2005). In my opinion a really great movie about the mental effects of war and the rising tension of waiting for the enemy.
They are not joking when they say it's the best job they ever had. You will never feel so alive, so excited, so important, or so attached to your coworkers in any other job. For every moment of feeling absolutely horrible, you will have a moment of bliss. You cannot understand pleasure until you have felt pain.
Then don’t go aviation. Granted, there is a camaraderie in a tank but there is also the same between a plane captain, pilot and their plane. There is one difference. You can fix a tank on the fly. You can’t do that to a plane. Still the same, it takes a certain type of person to take the oath of up to and including your life that no one can take away from us.
FYI in WWII the only enlisted personnel allowed to carry handguns were tankers so they could take their own lives when set on fire like shown in the movie. The Sherman tank was so prone to catching on fire when hit that it was nicknamed "The Ronson" after a popular cigarette lighter at the time.
My great uncle was in the second world war in the canadian army, one of his most frightening stories was when he was pushing up to the next town with what he said to be around 15 to 20 tanks. When they were around a few 100 meters away from the town they got ambushed by German tanks, 10 total he said. It took them 5½ hours to destroy those tanks and all they had left was 4 tanks. When he went to the town he said his stomach droped when he saw that was shooting at them. 1 king tiger (Tiger II), 2 tiger 1s, 2 panther tanks, and 5 panzer IV's. But when he saw that there was a king tiger his stomach droped even more, realizing that this fight was completely in the enemy's favor and they somehow survived. He said that besides D-day, that was the worst encounter he ever had. Info: another tank fight scene in the movie it's the tiger one. Think of that but you can't kill it at all unless you actually hit the back of the tank. That's the tiger II.
Fury is roughly based on the real "War Daddy", Sgt. Lafayette "War Daddy" Pool. His tank was named "I'm in the mood" and he and his crew became tank aces. Sgt. Pool died in 1991....a great and honorable war hero.
The difference between the American Sherman and the Tiger is huge. Frontal armor on the Sherman was 51mm, the Tiger had over 100mm of frontal armor. The Sherman gun could not penetrate unless they were extremely close. The armor on the rear of the Tiger was less thick
The Officer to whom Brad Pitt’s character reports is played by Jason Issacs. This is the same actor who portrayed Lucias Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies.
the battalion they fight at the end is likely a reinforcement battalion so stopping them from going to wherever they were going would be extremly helpful especially since the allies at this point are on the brink of victory. that's why they stayed and fought
Very excellent reaction, thank you ladies!!, great movie, this role for Brad Pitt, matured him as an actor, I served in the U.S. Army for 3 years, wasn't a tanker, but was attached to tank units on occasion, provided them with air defense, always enjoyed being with those guys, hope to see more reactions from y'all, hope all is well with all of you, oohhh, loved to see the doggies as well!!!..👍👍👍👍👍
At least now our guys have the solid beast that is the M1A2 Abrams not some thin armored bathtub of a "medium" Tank like the tiny Sherman built for hyper mass production over crew protection. They called Sherman's Ronson's like the lighter because one hot piece of Shrapnel and the fuel tank would explode. I am quite disappointed in our country during WW2 for designing such a cheap tank as if we were to treat our American soldiers lives as just as cheap and expendable as the Soviets treated the lives of their mass human wave forces that got cut down on the eastern front.
@@maxpeck7382 yeah because in the end you're not a name but a number. My Father was Army in the Philippines and Japan. Then ended up in the Air Force ( they did a lot of those transfers apparently back then) . I worked with a tough dude called Chuck that started in the Marines and then he went into the Air Force.
@@maxpeck7382, in actual reality, the m4 sherman was great, wasn't an armored bathtub (despite somewhat resembling one) and had excellent reliability with great crew survivability, the truth is that while early models of the sherman were ill-suited for combat against heavy tanks the later models were perfectly equipped to fight beasts such as the tiger (i.e the jumbo and firefly or even the m4a2e8 fury tank presented in the reaction, which boasted a powerful 76 mm gun capable of frontally penetrating tigers with considerable ease) ww2 has lots, and lots of mysticism, one being that of the "german superiority" mainly when it came to armored vehicle alike, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of the late war german tanks were modified versions of the panzer iv (one that was pretty much comparable to a sherman and not as powerful as a tiger given they were designs dating back to the late 30s) and even the big german tanks were often rare occurrences, to finish off, no, the sherman was not cheap, while not as expensive as the over-engineered beasts such as the tiger and panther tanks, they were built to high standards unlike the soviet tanks for example. funnily enough america did have a beast of their own, going by the name of m26 pershing, one that was on par with the german big bads and was arguably more capable in certain areas.
Time comes and time goes. I realize as i grow older that i dont know very much at all. As we go through life, friends are what keeps us together. We must realize that by taking care of our fellow man we are taking care of ourselves. Do not visit violence and anger against another, because when we do it comes upon ourselves double or more. To follow the self centered ways of society and civilization is to invite ignorance and complacence which lead to inner degeneration. Understand that religion and spirituality are two different things, and that one cannot be used to gain the other. Understand that peace is an unobtainable goal without but attainable within oneself. I pray that the Great Spirit will enlargen yourself so that you may have peace and joy all the days of your life. ~Chris~
May I suggest another WW2 tank movie? T-34 is a really cool tank movie. While not perfect (it is a movie after all), it is a bit more realistic than Fury in terms of tank combat. And for those who have seen it, to be fair I didn't say it was *entirely* realistic
Norman shooting that German soldier was not a war crime! Wearing an American overcoat was in violation of the laws of war... "In times of conflict soldiers are required to wear the uniform of their own country...or a distinctive sign that identifies them as combatants. If a soldier disguises themselves in anyway by wearing clothing from the enemy, or civilian clothing...it is considered perfidy. Any soldier who violates this rule forfeits their rights as a prisoner of war. Therefore...if a soldier is caught engaging in combat...they may be executed without trial"
The SS German soldier that left Norman alive had his own reasons. Not sure but several possible reasons. Mine are: 1) Drafted/Conscripted to fight at such a young age with little or no combat experience. Aside from that, he may not be fully committed to their cause/ideology. Meaning he wasn’t mentally driven deep enough to make him a fanatic patriot. Given it’s end the of war already, he probably only a had short period of military training. 2) Thinks that Norman had seen too much horror & that they may share the same feeling. Both just want peace. 3) Having a pure heart compared to the rest of his fellow servicemen. I quote “True courage is about knowing not when to take a life but when to spare one.” - Gandalf It just reminded of that scene so much after seeing that. 4) Didn’t see him as threat cuz he thinks he’s no soldier. Not a trained professional one so to speak. Can tell if you know body language. To clarify body language, I’ve seen a lot especially from FBI stuff does make a difference. How many times has a soldier seen a face like that? Just like in Saving Private Ryan. Why did that German spared Upham’s life? He just killed his friend or brother-in-arms while he remain idle & just cried. From my perspective, he’s not a threat to the German soldier which is why he spared him & maybe he knew that pain is making Upham suffer for things he can’t do like saving his buddy. Or due to him being a non threat, he isn’t worth killing. After all, even some officers & soldiers believe in honor. Lastly, the German (in Saving Pvt Ryan) didn’t look like or act like a rookie in any way. Years of experience for sure. Not everyone is meant for war nor is born for war. Same could be said with Norman. Again, it’s a lot to adjust especially if it involves killing. You do this, there’s no turning back. Sometimes, we’re forced to be someone we’re trying not to be. Consider both aspects of that individual & you’ll see clearly.
When I saw the first trailer of the 2016s "Suicide Squad", I thought it was gonna be the next "Watchmen" Instead, it became a "Guardians of the Galaxy" rip-off
There’s a reason why tanks don’t go first into a city, town etc. Tanks clear the way for infantry. Infantry protect the tanks. It’s a work in tandem. As far as the knocking boots scene, you took it the entire wrong way. The tank battle. Sherman’s we’re not as good as panzer or tigers. Best way to kill a panzer, tiger or king tiger was from the rear. Germans didn’t expect anything to be alive to get to their rears, that’s why they had little armor back there. Also, the reason to stay and fight was because the u.s. troops were on their way. They were hoping to hold out until reinforcements arrived and they would all make it out of there alive.
they were better than Pz IV or III but no against the Panther or as said the tiger, the whole scene is unrealistic anyways, had it been real the americans would have 0% chance of winning .
The fight against the Tiger is unreal. The Tiger had to wait in its position. It makes no sense to leave its save position. All 4 Sherman had no chance against the Tiger! But it is a movie and Brad Pitt has to survive this scene. Best regards from Germany
The young assistant driver should have been scared, based on how many Shermans were knocked out during the war. American soldiers called them "Ronsons" referring to how easy they caught on fire after getting hit....LOL
.01%film! Great fucking reaction ladies, really! Lia, baby, "Good Will Hunting"(.01%film), and "Get Out"(.01%film)! Michelle, you know already, get Lia two reactions for those films for me!
Not only have you already watched this movie twice on your channel, all 4 of you have already seen it. Why watch it 3 times instead of finding something else?
Also, fury would have been dead before 160 Germans died, did you see the amount of panzerfausts, (tank fists) the SS were carrying? Those would not just go through and kill one man, those weapons would blow up ammo and, if not, throw spall, (white hot shrapnel from the armor) into everyone in that tank. The Panzerfaust’s shaped charge would make easy work of anywhere on an IS-2, forget about an Easy Eight sherman stopping that.
Based off of a shit book by a man who was never a tanker, Death Traps by Belton Cooper, universally panned as being shit. American Sherman crews had a 3% death rate, compared to 17% for an infantry soldier. But the movie does get the hopelessness and despair of war right.
Got me real frustrated at minute 38, like you guys didn’t get it. The SS battalion was gonna attack the supply train of the whole army in that part of germany.
Willing to pay the price...so many did so. Tom Boyte GySgt. USMC, retired Vietnam 1965-66/1970-71 Infantry, machine guns (0331) Bronze Star, Purple Heart

3:46 - "I'm happy that we totally missed the parts with the war". And you say this seriously when there is a war going on in Europe, when Russia attacked Ukraine. Living in Bulgaria, only Moldova separates you from Ukraine. Don't be a hypocrite!
This movie puts u in Norman's shoes, and takes u on his arc! Germany had much beter equipment than the allies. Better handguns, the had even AK style rifles, but not yet mass produced, better shoulder fired rockets, better tanks better planes. If they hadnt attacked Russia, and if the americans had won the battle of the Bulge, no way we win this war. Because they already had drone planes, were already working on mass producing jet fighters, and would have been nuclear by the end of 45. Sadly, Norman's prediction for Emma came true. best job i ever had means, i love u guys. Norman played the child in the great remake movie,3.10 to Yuma!! sort of based on a true story, the last battle. Type in here, Audie Murphy in WW2!
Lots of myths being spread in the comments section. If the movie was being historically accurate, Fury would have been able to penetrate the front armor of that tiger.. at the distance they were shooting at. People who say bs like “5 shermans to kill a cat” or “shermans had to shoot tigers in the rear because their guns couldn’t penetrate the front armor”. Need to do some actual research on the topic instead regurgitating what they heard on a low IQ made for tv “documentary”. (Looking at you HiStoRy ChAnNel). The 76mm gun used by Fury could kill a Tiger at 1000m.
The only advantage the Sherman's had was speed due to their lighter weight and smaller size. They were easier to handle in tight urban areas. However they were called Brunson lighters because when hit their gasoline tanks would explode and many a crew burned up in them.
They stayed BTW, for the Greater Good....that SS batalion might have killed hundreds of Allied Troops...if they didnt make their stand and kill off most of them... Sometimes we have to accept that our lives are worth NO more than any other life, and to give ur life so others may live, is by definition the purest form of sacrefice we can make.
The audio from the movie is barely audible and it sounds mono like it's coming out of a cheap TV speaker. You've completely taken away the impact that a good sound system can provide. Get some help.

When they were around a few 100 meters away from the town they got ambushed by German tanks, 10 total he said. It took them 5½ hours to destroy those tanks and all they had left was 4 tanks. When he went to the town he said his stomach droped when he saw that was shooting at them. 1 king tiger (Tiger II), 2 tiger 1s, 2 panther tanks, and 5 panzer IV's. But when he saw that there was a king tiger his stomach droped even more, realizing that this fight was completely in the enemy's favor and they somehow survived. He said that besides D-day, that was the worst encounter he ever had.
Info: another tank fight scene in the movie it's the tiger one. Think of that but you can't kill it at all unless you actually hit the back of the tank. That's the tiger II.
Fury is roughly based on the real "War Daddy", Sgt. Lafayette "War Daddy" Pool. His tank was named "I'm in the mood" and he and his crew became tank aces. Sgt. Pool died in 1991....a great and honorable war hero.
The difference between the American Sherman and the Tiger is huge. Frontal armor on the Sherman was 51mm, the Tiger had over 100mm of frontal armor. The Sherman gun could not penetrate unless they were extremely close. The armor on the rear of the Tiger was less thick
The Officer to whom Brad Pitt’s character reports is played by Jason Issacs. This is the same actor who portrayed Lucias Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies.
He was also one of the main characters in my favorite movie Black Hawk Down
God this movie. I love it so much
Nope!!!! The tears will fall. Great movie. That ending will gut you.
They've all already seen the movie on the channel. This is their 3rd time playing it
seen so many of your videos, can always tell when viki is into a movie. she’s so quiet and focused ❤😂
the battalion they fight at the end is likely a reinforcement battalion so stopping them from going to wherever they were going would be extremly helpful especially since the allies at this point are on the brink of victory. that's why they stayed and fought
The deleted scenes for this movie give SOOO MUCH depth to each character, check them out
React to Memphis Belle... Is such a classic and great movie. 🐈
Very excellent reaction, thank you ladies!!, great movie, this role for Brad Pitt, matured him as an actor, I served in the U.S. Army for 3 years, wasn't a tanker, but was attached to tank units on occasion, provided them with air defense, always enjoyed being with those guys, hope to see more reactions from y'all, hope all is well with all of you, oohhh, loved to see the doggies as well!!!..👍👍👍👍👍
At least now our guys have the solid beast that is the M1A2 Abrams not some thin armored bathtub of a "medium" Tank like the tiny Sherman built for hyper mass production over crew protection. They called Sherman's Ronson's like the lighter because one hot piece of Shrapnel and the fuel tank would explode. I am quite disappointed in our country during WW2 for designing such a cheap tank as if we were to treat our American soldiers lives as just as cheap and expendable as the Soviets treated the lives of their mass human wave forces that got cut down on the eastern front.
@@maxpeck7382 yeah because in the end you're not a name but a number. My Father was Army in the Philippines and Japan. Then ended up in the Air Force ( they did a lot of those transfers apparently back then) . I worked with a tough dude called Chuck that started in the Marines and then he went into the Air Force.
@@maxpeck7382, in actual reality, the m4 sherman was great, wasn't an armored bathtub (despite somewhat resembling one) and had excellent reliability with great crew survivability, the truth is that while early models of the sherman were ill-suited for combat against heavy tanks the later models were perfectly equipped to fight beasts such as the tiger (i.e the jumbo and firefly or even the m4a2e8 fury tank presented in the reaction, which boasted a powerful 76 mm gun capable of frontally penetrating tigers with considerable ease) ww2 has lots, and lots of mysticism, one being that of the "german superiority" mainly when it came to armored vehicle alike, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of the late war german tanks were modified versions of the panzer iv (one that was pretty much comparable to a sherman and not as powerful as a tiger given they were designs dating back to the late 30s) and even the big german tanks were often rare occurrences, to finish off, no, the sherman was not cheap, while not as expensive as the over-engineered beasts such as the tiger and panther tanks, they were built to high standards unlike the soviet tanks for example. funnily enough america did have a beast of their own, going by the name of m26 pershing, one that was on par with the german big bads and was arguably more capable in certain areas.
Time comes and time goes. I realize as i grow older that i dont know very much at all. As we go through life, friends are what keeps us together. We must realize that by taking care of our fellow man we are taking care of ourselves. Do not visit violence and anger against another, because when we do it comes upon ourselves double or more. To follow the self centered ways of society and civilization is to invite ignorance and complacence which lead to inner degeneration. Understand that religion and spirituality are two different things, and that one cannot be used to gain the other. Understand that peace is an unobtainable goal without but attainable within oneself. I pray that the Great Spirit will enlargen yourself so that you may have peace and joy all the days of your life. ~Chris~
my grandfather sat in a tiger 1 and in a tiger 2 tank the tiger would have destroyed all 4 tanks in real life he showed me pictures from back then.
May I suggest another WW2 tank movie? T-34 is a really cool tank movie.
While not perfect (it is a movie after all), it is a bit more realistic than Fury in terms of tank combat.
And for those who have seen it, to be fair I didn't say it was *entirely* realistic
That Tiger tank commander was a moron. “I’m going to charge forward so they can shoot me in my ass.”
I love your reactions💛

Yes, I was thinking why they keep cutting out images, of course it's copyright
Norman shooting that German soldier was not a war crime!
Wearing an American overcoat was in violation of the laws of war...
"In times of conflict soldiers are required to wear the uniform of their own country...or a distinctive sign that identifies them as combatants. If a soldier disguises themselves in anyway by wearing clothing from the enemy, or civilian clothing...it is considered perfidy. Any soldier who violates this rule forfeits their rights as a prisoner of war. Therefore...if a soldier is caught engaging in combat...they may be executed without trial"
Bullshit, you can't kill anyone without a trial. It's a war crime.
The SS German soldier that left Norman alive had his own reasons. Not sure but several possible reasons. Mine are:
1) Drafted/Conscripted to fight at such a young age with little or no combat experience. Aside from that, he may not be fully committed to their cause/ideology. Meaning he wasn’t mentally driven deep enough to make him a fanatic patriot. Given it’s end the of war already, he probably only a had short period of military training.
2) Thinks that Norman had seen too much horror & that they may share the same feeling. Both just want peace.
3) Having a pure heart compared to the rest of his fellow servicemen. I quote “True courage is about knowing not when to take a life but when to spare one.” - Gandalf
It just reminded of that scene so much after seeing that.
4) Didn’t see him as threat cuz he thinks he’s no soldier. Not a trained professional one so to speak. Can tell if you know body language.
To clarify body language, I’ve seen a lot especially from FBI stuff does make a difference. How many times has a soldier seen a face like that? Just like in Saving Private Ryan. Why did that German spared Upham’s life? He just killed his friend or brother-in-arms while he remain idle & just cried.
From my perspective, he’s not a threat to the German soldier which is why he spared him & maybe he knew that pain is making Upham suffer for things he can’t do like saving his buddy. Or due to him being a non threat, he isn’t worth killing. After all, even some officers & soldiers believe in honor.
Lastly, the German (in Saving Pvt Ryan) didn’t look like or act like a rookie in any way. Years of experience for sure. Not everyone is meant for war nor is born for war. Same could be said with Norman. Again, it’s a lot to adjust especially if it involves killing.
You do this, there’s no turning back. Sometimes, we’re forced to be someone we’re trying not to be. Consider both aspects of that individual & you’ll see clearly.
SS were originally a special forces, it would be like a child joining the Green Berets.
@@manticore4952 Hi! I think you’ve been misinformed. It’s actually a paramilitary.
Why would you edit out the joke about the chocolate bar and Shia reciting the Bible verse at the end? You literally cut the two best scenes.
Fun Fact that was Tiger 131. I can't remember right but that Tiger Tank served in Africa at the very end of the African campaign
When I saw the first trailer of the 2016s "Suicide Squad", I thought it was gonna be the next "Watchmen"
Instead, it became a "Guardians of the Galaxy" rip-off
There’s a reason why tanks don’t go first into a city, town etc. Tanks clear the way for infantry. Infantry protect the tanks. It’s a work in tandem. As far as the knocking boots scene, you took it the entire wrong way. The tank battle. Sherman’s we’re not as good as panzer or tigers. Best way to kill a panzer, tiger or king tiger was from the rear. Germans didn’t expect anything to be alive to get to their rears, that’s why they had little armor back there. Also, the reason to stay and fight was because the u.s. troops were on their way. They were hoping to hold out until reinforcements arrived and they would all make it out of there alive.
they were better than Pz IV or III but no against the Panther or as said the tiger, the whole scene is unrealistic anyways, had it been real the americans would have 0% chance of winning .
All four of you need to watch Hacksaw Ridge after this. It's Incredible True Story 👍. Besides you'll see Andrew Garfield for the fourth time 😉.
The fight against the Tiger is unreal. The Tiger had to wait in its position. It makes no sense to leave its save position. All 4 Sherman had no chance against the Tiger! But it is a movie and Brad Pitt has to survive this scene.
Best regards from Germany
I Love how excited Ellie was when anticipating for Michelle to say all the spicy content 🙌😁😉😊.
The young assistant driver should have been scared, based on how many Shermans were knocked out during the war. American soldiers called them "Ronsons" referring to how easy they caught on fire after getting hit....LOL
but you four have already reacted to this? i dont understand
This is their third time watching it
.01%film! Great fucking reaction ladies, really!
Lia, baby, "Good Will Hunting"(.01%film), and "Get Out"(.01%film)!
Michelle, you know already, get Lia two reactions for those films for me!
Not only have you already watched this movie twice on your channel, all 4 of you have already seen it. Why watch it 3 times instead of finding something else?
Exactly wtf
Also, fury would have been dead before 160 Germans died, did you see the amount of panzerfausts, (tank fists) the SS were carrying? Those would not just go through and kill one man, those weapons would blow up ammo and, if not, throw spall, (white hot shrapnel from the armor) into everyone in that tank. The Panzerfaust’s shaped charge would make easy work of anywhere on an IS-2, forget about an Easy Eight sherman stopping that.
This is going to be good, watching these 4 women watch "Fury"! Prepare to be sad!
Gotta love Ellie's INTENSE eyes and facial reactions.
Thanks! Super reaction!!💯
Swore you watched this already lol
Edit: Yeah, i checked, you did a few times now haha
Yeah they know it'll get views so they farm it. I had to eject at the only fans plug
I love it when the girls bring their puppies to share in the reaction.
i dont..its annoying..
I love it when they react to the same movie 3 times on their channel 🙄
@@Alexisking222 lol yeah. Just ass 1 more person
At some point, you guys should definitely watch Apocalypse Now (1979)
Based off of a shit book by a man who was never a tanker, Death Traps by Belton Cooper, universally panned as being shit. American Sherman crews had a 3% death rate, compared to 17% for an infantry soldier. But the movie does get the hopelessness and despair of war right.
2 good movie is a row! First the mask now fury. "saving private ryan" is a classic war movie. Not sure if you guys reacted to it already
All of them had already seen this movie recently too so not sure they care.
Ideals are peaceful history is violent
Best quote in years
" He doesn't want to be there, just like them"
Got me real frustrated at minute 38, like you guys didn’t get it. The SS battalion was gonna attack the supply train of the whole army in that part of germany.
Best job I ever had...is them saying, I love u guys.
Willing to pay the price...so many did so.

CGI aside, they used the Famous T-131 Tiger tank. the only functional tiger left in the world. the scene was .. reality it would have lasted not long but Brat pitt has to live lol
A good WW2 film is also "Letters from Iwo Jima"
You girls made me cry at the end...
Hey gang hope you all are doing well.
43:50 that is probably the most gruesome and brutal clip I have ever watched in any war film
Ok seriously all four of you have already seen this movie, why are you recycling reactions lol
I think they should watch the First World War movie ‘1917’ and the film ‘Greyhound’ about the battle in the Atlantic during WW2.
3:46 - "I'm happy that we totally missed the parts with the war". And you say this seriously when there is a war going on in Europe, when Russia attacked Ukraine. Living in Bulgaria, only Moldova separates you from Ukraine. Don't be a hypocrite!
It's an "as long as it doesn't directly affect me idc" type of thing.
As part of a war movie, I recommend seeing a little-known film by Karbala.
This movie puts u in Norman's shoes, and takes u on his arc! Germany had much beter equipment than the allies. Better handguns, the had even AK style rifles, but not yet mass produced, better shoulder fired rockets, better tanks better planes. If they hadnt attacked Russia, and if the americans had won the battle of the Bulge, no way we win this war. Because they already had drone planes, were already working on mass producing jet fighters, and would have been nuclear by the end of 45. Sadly, Norman's prediction for Emma came true. best job i ever had means, i love u guys. Norman played the child in the great remake movie,3.10 to Yuma!! sort of based on a true story, the last battle. Type in here, Audie Murphy in WW2!
For Christmas..... Definitely should do "Bad Santa" 🤣
Girls, if you want to see Brad Pitt looking drop dead gorgeous watch Legends of the Fall or Thelma & Louis. These were the films that made him famous.
Stop watching movies you all have already seen. This is the 3rd time you react to this now...
Lots of myths being spread in the comments section. If the movie was being historically accurate, Fury would have been able to penetrate the front armor of that tiger.. at the distance they were shooting at. People who say bs like “5 shermans to kill a cat” or “shermans had to shoot tigers in the rear because their guns couldn’t penetrate the front armor”. Need to do some actual research on the topic instead regurgitating what they heard on a low IQ made for tv “documentary”. (Looking at you HiStoRy ChAnNel).
The 76mm gun used by Fury could kill a Tiger at 1000m.
The standard gun couldn't, the firefly version which Fury is could using armour piercing ammo.
The only advantage the Sherman's had was speed due to their lighter weight and smaller size. They were easier to handle in tight urban areas. However they were called Brunson lighters because when hit their gasoline tanks would explode and many a crew burned up in them.
It wasn’t really the fuel.
Now you need to watch Jo Jo Rabbit. It is a dark comedy about the same part of time, the fall of Nazi Germany. It is funny but it is also dark.
They stayed BTW, for the Greater Good....that SS batalion might have killed hundreds of Allied Troops...if they didnt make their stand and kill off most of them...
Sometimes we have to accept that our lives are worth NO more than any other life, and to give ur life so others may live, is by definition the purest form of sacrefice we can make.
I love watching your reactions thanks for being real
How many times are you going to react to the same movie again and again? It's getting apparent y'all don't really care about genuine reactions
Haven’t they watched this movie like 3 times
Yeah like wtf
Never forget the "greatest generation" that fought for our freedom
@Slawa Boga North of the 49th.
@Slawa Boga Hitler had plans to bomb and invade North America.You need to study more..:)
@Slawa Boga Oh yes he did.The Amerika bomber for one.Go study Hitler some more dude.
You gals should watch LONE SURVIVOR
THIS.. this is what men cry too
Wardaddy was trying to toughen norman up so he will actually LIVE to see the wars end,sad but true.
Isn't the Tiger in a British museum or something the last working 131 in the world
Y'all already watched this what??
Hello. Tears of the sun is a very good movie. ❤
Training for that movie the actors spent 4 weeks living inside of a tank before making the movie.
this stuff is going on right now...not to far from you guys...
Another great movie that Brad Pitt was in is called Legends of the Fall.
All must of seen this movie 5 times in the last year 😂
Am i crazy or do they react to same movies all over again?
You're not crazy. This is their 3rd time watching it on their channel. Once 11 months ago and again over a year ago
@@Alexisking222 ooh okey, thank you for the confirm.
I love the fact you give these films time. You watch and take it in, no talking all the time. When you do talk it is very on the mark.
you guys already reacted to this movie
The audio from the movie is barely audible and it sounds mono like it's coming out of a cheap TV speaker. You've completely taken away the impact that a good sound system can provide. Get some help.
The starting of the movie is sensored? The German soldier, riding a white horse is attacked and sliced by Brad Pitt.
