There's something extremely terrifying about enemies agreeing with each other that they have to be quiet if they're gonna kill each other because if not all of them will die. Also slowly SNEAKING towards each other in complete silence knowing that the person infront of you wants to dig you six feet under
Instances like this were rare. Not in the sense that opposing raiding parties wouldn't encounter each other in no-man's land, that did happen. Rather it was rare in the sense that when encounters like this did occur, they would usually ignore each other instead of fighting it out. Nobody wanted to fight in that war, nobody wanted to kill or be killed.
@@aggelosSlipKnoTRKO medieval times and antiquity can tell you, scout parties normaly would agree on "alright i see you, you see me, lets get back to our armies" but every once in a while, it was a bloody couple of dozen vs a couple of dozen fight to the death
I felt really bad for the scot (who looked like a kid) that got double teamed by the 2 germans and was repeatedly stabbed in the back while reaching for his comrade.
I don’t think i’ve seen a fight scene with such savagery and brutality of realism. Something with no words like this gets it point across just like it wants to and leaves you with a sad/hurting feeling while being disturbed. Hell of a scene.
This scene gave me chills honestly. I liked the other kings man movies but this one is my favorite hands down. They always stretch the reality/realism in the franchise but I would say their were a few good scenes in this movie that seemed very realistic, let alone historically accurate. Like when the German mouthed to be quiet or they’ll both get shot because they don’t know who is who out there, and the Brit’s are like “alright then let’s go mate” as he pulls his melee weapons out.
Can't shoot each other, but they can't let the other team leave to find the guy that was running across no man's land either. Only way it could go down.
@@pipebombpete.6861 I think that while realism in the sense that it pertains to real world events and logic isn’t necessary in a story, but internal consistency is. For example, a fantasy world shouldn’t play by our laws of physics, but should damn well abide to its own. If the wizard says that flying magic is impossible and someone does it in the next scene, that’s not realistic to the _world._
@@aduckwithayoutubechannel "If the wizard says that flying magic is impossible" Eh, maybe the wizard doesn't have the right experience. Who knows? **shrugs**
I think my favourite part about this scene (other than the well executed fight scene and the humanity given to both sides) is the inclusion of niche ww1 weapons like a gauntlet dagger and mace, and one guy with a hammer
This scene was pleasantly authentic. One of the germans had a MP18, used almost exclusively by storm troopers. Which also explains why the germans were winning the whole time, as they were essentially special forces going up against standard infantry. The big german with the hammer was also wearing lobster armor, a real armored suit they issued specifically for hand to hand fighting.
@@ryanskinner6792 They were winning until they went up against Mr. Main Character, which was when they turned into special Ed forces. Realistically, they would’ve slaughtered all of the Scottish soldiers without losing a single man
In the bonus features for this movie, they committed a whole segment on the making of this fight scene. Its cool hey they made this scene with the intent of showing the brutal nature of real close quarters trench fighting, not just for the sake of the story. And then even in the behind the scenes footage of this fight, both in rehearsals and in the actual filming, every actor is giving their 100% to portraying a no-holds-barred visceral fight to the death.
Probably one of the most Sportsman like fights I've ever seen. They both know they're all dead if the shoot, so they all decide to put down their guns and fight eachother fairly
It's like the British captain made the split second decision to shoot and sacrifice himself by giving up his position in order for the mission to succeed.
The German with the hammer is a freakin' Angel of Death who is just utterly terrifying. It's one thing to see him in a movie, but can you imagine encountering this big, hulking mass of muscle that doesn't seem to have a "face" or anything remotely "human" about them? It's so dark that you're already having trouble seeing where everything is, but you watch this "monster" proceed to (brutally) go through a few people who might have been your friends... and then he turns his attention on YOU. Honestly, I don't think I have the stuff for combat like this. Way too animalistic.
Scary thing is that that person (or character if you wish) used to be a "normal" person with dreams and hopes as anybody else. But the war turned him into a blood thirsty thing. What's even scarier that there is probably actual real cases of this. Where war brings out the worst of people.
@KyleR Well, one can't deny that he is a badass~ Yes. They had all kinds of makeshift armor stuff going on in WW1 because if you didn't get put down by machine gun fire in No Man's Land, you'd have to get up close and personal with someone.
@@Sneedmire yeah a lot of the makeshift armor here is accurate. The really unsettling part is the fact that the weird knife-gauntlet things the soldiers with the gas masks and were real too.
I'm glad this actually showed how training Conrad to use melee weapons benefitted him, it's not like he immediately kills the entire squad of Germans, but he is able to stand his ground in a two-on-one without immediately going down.
I love a good up, close and personal melee fight. And the fact that both sides agreed to setting down their guns and battling it out knife to knife to not give away their positions is both badass and brilliant. I'd love to experience something like this in a game, whether it'd be qtes or something else
I keep replaying the CO's intention in my head when he pulled out his handgun. He had the upper hand over his direct German opponent but didn't look like he could finish him off. He saw that Conrad was about to get his head caved in and the situation would quickly turn to a 2 v 1 against him which he would be unlikely to survive. It's like he knew that he had to sacrifice himself for the mission to succeed. He knew he would be fired upon from the trench lines the moment he fired shots.
Also the fact that, despite knowing that he would die anyway, the British officer still put the German soldier he was fighting through the shame and misery of being a human shield, British-German relations in a nutshell
i always wondered why he didn't hit the deck after killing the other soldier. Maybe he would've been killed either way, but logically he would have a better chance of survival
"No guns or we all fucking die" "Goods point" *Pulls out melee* Everyones in agreement that the Artillery team is for sure gonna drop gods wrath if they make too much noise
The movie didn't live up to the ones before it but holy shit this scene genuinely gave me chills watching it in the cinema. Its so dark and gritty it feels like its from a completely different movie which kinda made it feel out of place. Still an amazing scene with truly terrifying choreography and emotion.

@@goodtimesgamingtm1316 that’s the point though, in the first two movies they do say that the Kingsman organisation was formed by aristocrats who lost their sons in WW1. I knew that going in and still got caught off guard

@@mammamiaculpathis movie is great, the scene is exactly where it’s supposed to be. The scene of Connor being shot in the head is a twist of harry being shot in the head. In the first one, the experienced agent dies and the new guy has to go save the world, we the audience expected, let’s be honest, the first Lancelot to be the hero of the movie, he was shown to be so bad ass, but his death 5 minutes in was reverting expectations. Like valentine said, this isn’t that kind of movie. So by this movie, we’re expecting it to be about Conrad and maybe his father dies saving him or something, but with Conrad’s death it’s another reverting of expectations. It’s the movie saying “you expected Conrad to be the hero to save the world? This isn’t that kind of movie bruv.” Not to mention how harry explained the origins of kingsmen to eggsy in the first one. Rich socialites outlived their children and invested their money into making their clothing company into a spy organization that even the governments didn’t know about. So based on that exposition from the first movie, Conrad was doomed to die.
I love how as the scene goes on the song gets louder and eventually it actually sounds like a lewis gun firing in the distance signaling what is about to happen, they did an excellent job with this movie
This scene is exemplary. You feel every single motion, every vibration in the setting. Everything comes to life. Rotten Tomatoes did not do this film justice.
I could make a video essay on why this is a perfect action scene. - Great concept - Clear stakes, objective - Character building - Active, emotional decisions - Kinetic camerawork (Brad Allan, 2nd Unit Director) - Unique animalistic choreography (Chris Cowan, Action Designer) - Clear geography - Variety of weaponry/combat styles (Jon Baker, armorer) - Great setting - Great costuming (Michele Clapton, designer) - Great sound design R.I.P Brad Allan, Hollywood will sorely miss you.
Fun fact did you know that in kings man the German soldier with a knife sticking into a fighting boxing glove it was called the “gauntlet dagger” a trench melee weapon that was terrifying to use in ww1.
@@jan_dr18 it was called the anglo-french gauntlet, and yeah. but its not unbelievable that a german stormtrooper might have had access to prototypes since their was a lot of experimental tactics and weapons being developed for them to try and re-establish maneuver warfare on the western front.
i love it's a total contrast from every other fight scene in the kingsman series. They don't have bombastic and revelatory music. It's only fear and dread
I love the smaller details in this scene. Like if you look close enough, you can notice skulls and other insignias painted on the German helmets. So cool
I thought this was such a crazy good idea for a fight scene. Trying to kill your enemy while also trying to be quiet really ups the stakes and put me on the edge of my seat

correction: the main character did not stab the german soldier from 0:34 in the arm at 1:59. instead, he broke his arm, apparent by the fact that i spotted the knife not sticking out of the german soldier's arm.
Small details, the guy who saves him at the end of the scene holds the dead German body up as a shield from the friendly fire, he did this on purpose because he didn't want to get killed by his own side.
@@gibby9919 I am collecting WWI (and WWII ) equipment and close combat daggers and with my 59 years I have seen many documentations about the two wars and read many books and articles. But this movie is like James Bond. It has to be entertaining (and that`s what it is :-) instead of being realsitic, just a few examples....: 1 boy kills 2 germans at the same time. not toooooo realistic. NOBODY would wear a gasmak without gas around... in a close combat fight AND DURING NIGHT! With a gasmask you have a limited field of view, even without fighting and even during daylight. The armdagger of the german soldier wasn´t used in WWI. Just a few prototypes existed for experimental tests. If you have a machinepistol MP18, you use it (instead of getting killed) You lay down and shoot. No machingun fire gets you, but the enemy . The germans didn´t wear Batman-capes But... it is no historical documentation... just an entertaining movie film :-)
when i saw this in the cinema this beat from the soundtrack made me feel my heartbeat every moment got stronger until the captain used his gun and i thought conrad was already dead
@@thewolfofswingthat2035 If anyone in trenches see gunfire They would shoot that area with machine gun no matter which side is winning Ww 1 was insane like that
@@thewolfofswingthat2035 cause you can use it to drop maybe one or two guys right before you jump into the enemies trench. Trench raiding was always about the shock of it you would catch the enemy sleeping or in a lull have a lad throw in a few grenades drop some with rifle (and SMG if you were German) fire then hop in and finish off the poor discombobulated chaps with knives and clubs and be back in time for breakfast. At least that was the ideal of it.
When that German covered that guys mouth as he plunged his knife in him and all you hear is a muffled scream, my stomach actually turned bro. Brutal scene but I rewatch it again and again
When you see WWI weapons you see how quickly it devolved into medieval-styled combat. Knives, sharpened shovels, makeshift maces made out of wood and machine parts. It was truly brutal
This is how I imagine how fights in Dune go down. Two sides facing off. Rather than mutually assured destruction if a Lasgun hits a shield. They put down their guns and take out the knives
Tolkien might not have wanted to admit it but the battlefields of Europe influenced Mordor and the dead marches. He knew more about war and life as a solider than Martin ever will.
more often than not that did happen, in the early phase of the war. Basically the Germans realized super quick our lads are a tad bit soft and just are coming back with the amount of ammo they went out with so they took up training the types of lads you see in the video above. Stormtroopers right vicious chaps who were trained specifically to go out grenade trenches and hop in and finish guys off with knives and clubs to do that they had to be hard men indeed. Brits and French just did it with veterans German trench raiders though were trained from day one to be comfortable with killing in melee.
normally that did happen, but in the story theyre both after a english spy who got injured in no mans land (i.e both had the same goal so no choice but to fight)
@@legalosmumakilslayer That’s not ACCURATE I hate to be that prick, but German StoßTrüppen (storm troops) were not trained from day 1 to do trench raids because regular German troops were ‘a tad soft’ Storm troopers were handpicked from veterans already serving, and then were sent to specialist training school for 2 months to learn raid and infiltration tactics. And I wouldn’t say the Germans were soft, they held off and inflicted higher casualties than they received against British, French, Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and Indian troops on just one of their fronts, while also beating back the Russians in the east and even sending troops to face the Italians, and THEN it still took the yanks to finally crack the German army. They were beaten by huge odds not better skill
Obviouslt every man there looked capable of combat on the German side and the English officer, but man... Theres something about that guy that pulls out the shortened sledgehammer. That is terrifying.
The mask part is only for the visual affects when in reality no one would disadvantage themselves by wearing a gas mask when your opponent is breathing freely. Looks cool for the movie and “scary German” but in reality you’d have to be an idiot.
Fair enough Ig. I think these Germans were trench raiders so it makes a little more sense that they would already be using gas masks, with the gas grenades and all. It could also be used simply for intimidation, considering the skulls also painted on their helmets
I have no clue what this movie is, The King's Man. But this fight scene feels almost animated at points, like a game cutscene. The movement feels good to watch~.
Ik it’s just a movie. But what it must have taken for the men of that generation to go out time and time again in the face of certain death is almost incomprehensible.
I thought the movie was meh, but that scene was really good. The music The context of the fight The lack of dialogues The consequences of the actions The camera work The costumes The acting Everything in this scene is really good
Remember, Conrad was able to survive because he earned a bit of the captain's affection by being the first volunteer and why he wasn't just a second corporal, he had the training of a lieutenant, that... and why is he the protagonist hahaha
i felt more bad for the scot (who looked like a kid) that got double teamed by the 2 germans and was repeatedly stabbed in the back while reaching for his comrade.
@@RandomPerson-kf6qm what do you mean? the face he made while getting stabbed looks like the face someone would make while getting stabbed. his face wasn't still at all.
I love how this is a callback to the knife training scene where the girl tells Chola that learning knife fighting was pointless in a world with guns, proves her wrong 😂
Very accurate. As far as how’d it turn out. You have the German squad who clearly came with the best hand to hand guys they had who were properly equipped to do so at a moments notice going against the allied squad who really were just picked randomly. None of them had much experience in hand to hand and it shows other than the officer who came prepared
@@TheMainMayn it was pretty obvious that was the Germans “kill squad” if you will. Every one of them brought some sort of hand to hand weapon that would give them an advantage over just basic knife. These poor troops had no chance. Only 2 with hand to hand experience/ training survived the longest. This might be one of my favorite ww1 scenes in any movie tbh. Truly depicts just how brutal and horrifying no man’s land was
The gas masks ruined it for me. No way they’d have worn them in a night raid without any need, if gas would have been used shortly before… the Scottish soldiers would have been using gas masks too.
Their uniforms are all mix-matched to create different archetypes for the fight. If only the gasmasks look out of place to you then you aren’t as clever as you wanted to sound
Gas masks were used as a method of phycological warfare and notice how only the stormtroopers we're wearing them. People back then feared these guys Even though the stormtroopers we're a form of fear propaganda

I love how as the scene goes on the song gets louder and eventually it actually sounds like a lewis gun firing in the distance signaling what is about to happen, they did an excellent job with this movie
This scene is exemplary. You feel every single motion, every vibration in the setting. Everything comes to life. Rotten Tomatoes did not do this film justice.
What movie is this
@@vollrath83 The king's man origin
I think this scene carries this movie without it this movie is crap
@@Bayerischer_bua It really does.
Just makes you think how badass some of these guys where in ww1 during the trench raids in the night, truly terrifying in ww1
The dudes with the bladed gauntlet and the sledgehammer were fucking intimidating to me
The gauntlet dagger looks so scary
I could make a video essay on why this is a perfect action scene.
- Great concept
- Clear stakes, objective
- Character building
- Active, emotional decisions
- Kinetic camerawork (Brad Allan, 2nd Unit Director)
- Unique animalistic choreography (Chris Cowan, Action Designer)
- Clear geography
- Variety of weaponry/combat styles (Jon Baker, armorer)
- Great setting
- Great costuming (Michele Clapton, designer)
- Great sound design
R.I.P Brad Allan, Hollywood will sorely miss you.
The Gerry's with the cape and gas masks on looks so badass.
My good man. Turn that G to a J. And have a good day
@@peris_arts_film9699 jermans
Fun fact did you know that in kings man the German soldier with a knife sticking into a fighting boxing glove it was called the “gauntlet dagger” a trench melee weapon that was terrifying to use in ww1.
I thought it wasn’t very wide-spread in Germany at that time, mostly French and British soldiers used it
@@jan_dr18 it was called the anglo-french gauntlet, and yeah. but its not unbelievable that a german stormtrooper might have had access to prototypes since their was a lot of experimental tactics and weapons being developed for them to try and re-establish maneuver warfare on the western front.
So what a soldier would think they about to brawl and the German would just surprise stab them through their glove ?
This is a masterclass of film making. What a great scene.
What movie is this and where can I watch it ?
@@jarrellfernandez9341 The King's Man
this scene left me utterly speechless and constant chills in the cinema. top notch action and intensity.
i love it's a total contrast from every other fight scene in the kingsman series. They don't have bombastic and revelatory music. It's only fear and dread
This whole movie makes me want to play battlefield one again
one of my favorite scenes in the movie, it kept me glued to the screen throughout the entire fight so brutal!
I love the smaller details in this scene. Like if you look close enough, you can notice skulls and other insignias painted on the German helmets. So cool
Their Stromtroopers
I thought this was such a crazy good idea for a fight scene. Trying to kill your enemy while also trying to be quiet really ups the stakes and put me on the edge of my seat
“The Enemy has reached the final objective.”
One of the Best cinematic scene in movies post covid
I’d say pre Covid as well, it’s just as good as movies pre Covid.
That commanding officer sacrificing himself for the mission is a testament to being above yourself
Those German stormtroopers actually looks badass
The german putting on the gauntlet was fucking badass af
The music builds up with every kill its amazing
0:34 Gauntlet dagger armed by a German soldier to the far left
0:58 German from the left delivers a possible killing stab
0:59 German to his left launches himself, possibly killing the British soldier opposite to him
1:01 Main character starts fighting his opponent
1:09 A shot of the British officer and (maybe) the German officer fighting
1:14 British officer delivers a killing hit with his hatchet
1:18 Armoured German snaps a British soldier's shin
1:19 Same people but the British soldier now has a rearranged face
1:21 Another British soldier dies
1:32 2 Germans (possibly the ones on the left side of the opening shot) are stabbing another British soldier
1:49 Main character kills the German he started fighting in 1:01
1:59 Main character dodges a swing, then stabs the German from 0:34 in the arm, and then throws him
2:02 German who swung his knife gets tripped over, accidentally stabs Gauntlet german from 0:34
2:09 The german who tripped over gets sliced in the neck by the Main character
2:16 The Armoured german brings his hammer down (somehow the man whose leg broke had his scream ignored?)
2:23 Armoured german takes the Main character off his grasp
2:40 British officer shoots armoured geman and (possibly) the German officer. We have 2 candidates who could actually be the officer
Notes:
There was a german soldier spotted with a club, or a mace. However, I cannot see when or where said weapon was used later
I’m pretty sure that the British soldier at 1:18, 1:19, and 1:21 are the same person
@@sunnex474 possibly, but you'll have to note the following
1. You wouldn't dual wield a hammer and gauntlet dagger
2. You wouldn't pick up a dead man to stab him again
3. The guy in 1:21 still has a recognisable human face with no visible damage
He was killed by the officer with the hatchet.
correction: the main character did not stab the german soldier from 0:34 in the arm at 1:59. instead, he broke his arm, apparent by the fact that i spotted the knife not sticking out of the german soldier's arm.
That fact that you carefully analyze what happen in this darken fight shows how the human eye can see things even without night vision
most brutal scene I've come across from war movie!! Great actors!! great filmed!!
This was my favorite,you know a war scene is good when it’s gets you bloodthirsty
best scene in the movie for me and one of my favorite movie fights in recent memory
I don’t think people understand how cruel and nasty knife fights can be
Small details, the guy who saves him at the end of the scene holds the dead German body up as a shield from the friendly fire, he did this on purpose because he didn't want to get killed by his own side.
That German war armor was scary af
Germans always look badass
I just know a good bell pepper lost its life making the sound effect of a neck breaking in that scene.
This film was quite badass, and this scene is great!
Sorry, unrealistic, idiotic scene that will never have happened in war
@@alfredkonig4639 how do you know that?
@@gibby9919 I am collecting WWI (and WWII ) equipment and close combat daggers and with my 59 years I have seen many documentations about the two wars and read many books and articles. But this movie is like James Bond. It has to be entertaining (and that`s what it is :-) instead of being realsitic, just a few examples....:
1 boy kills 2 germans at the same time. not toooooo realistic.
NOBODY would wear a gasmak without gas around... in a close combat fight AND DURING NIGHT! With a gasmask you have a limited field of view, even without fighting and even during daylight.
The armdagger of the german soldier wasn´t used in WWI. Just a few prototypes existed for experimental tests.
If you have a machinepistol MP18, you use it (instead of getting killed) You lay down and shoot. No machingun fire gets you, but the enemy .
The germans didn´t wear Batman-capes
But... it is no historical documentation... just an entertaining movie film :-)
@@alfredkonig4639 🫥
Muh boy just whips out a breach hammer like "today's my day to shine"
when i saw this in the cinema this beat from the soundtrack made me feel my heartbeat every moment got stronger until the captain used his gun and i thought conrad was already dead
I see why they fought hand to hand. Better chance at fighting hand to hand than getting obliterated by a machine gun
This rarely ever happened. I highly doubt it went down like this.
i was thinking if they cant use their guns in no man's land why the hell they bring it there anyway?
@@thewolfofswingthat2035 In case an enemy showed up who didn't know the rules?
@@thewolfofswingthat2035 If anyone in trenches see gunfire They would shoot that area with machine gun
no matter which side is winning
Ww 1 was insane like that
@@thewolfofswingthat2035 cause you can use it to drop maybe one or two guys right before you jump into the enemies trench. Trench raiding was always about the shock of it you would catch the enemy sleeping or in a lull have a lad throw in a few grenades drop some with rifle (and SMG if you were German) fire then hop in and finish off the poor discombobulated chaps with knives and clubs and be back in time for breakfast. At least that was the ideal of it.
Sweat to god that if I saw a man wearing those masks, a cape and putting on a glove with a spike Id shit myself and just grab the gun.
Brad Allan's constant uniqueness will have a lasting impact on the state of Hollywood action, rest his soul
Did Brad choreographed this scene? I wouldn't be surprised if he did.
I absolutely love this thing you can see the absolute terror and how each knife is run over and the agony
nothing like a german dude in a gas mask running after you with a sledge hammer to really get your blood pumping
I was struggling to watch this in the theatres, These were brave people. :(
When that German covered that guys mouth as he plunged his knife in him and all you hear is a muffled scream, my stomach actually turned bro. Brutal scene but I rewatch it again and again
This was strangely badass👏
Best part of the whole movie
the guy who took on 2 at once was a chad just an absolute war machine
FR 🔥🔥
*the most quietest battle in WW1*
This is the best scene in Kingsman movie ever
What an awesome scene, so sad to think things like this might have happened
When you see WWI weapons you see how quickly it devolved into medieval-styled combat. Knives, sharpened shovels, makeshift maces made out of wood and machine parts. It was truly brutal
@arthurmwmisc why didn't the Thompson make it?
Havin that battlefield 1 sound effect
The original Kingsman is still my favorite, but this was amazing to seeing theaters. Fucking brutal scene and the tension was awesome.
What's the movie called
@@sbomoco2122 The King's Man. It's on Hulu
@@JennaTilwertz thank u
This is how I imagine how fights in Dune go down. Two sides facing off. Rather than mutually assured destruction if a Lasgun hits a shield. They put down their guns and take out the knives
Tolkien might not have wanted to admit it but the battlefields of Europe influenced Mordor and the dead marches.
He knew more about war and life as a solider than Martin ever will.
Bro brings a sledgehammer to the stealth fight 😂
When the CoD lobby is full of melee guys
The Germans may have lost the battle but the definitely won the Badass fashion Battle
On a lighter note, I'm surprised both factions didn't silently agree to turn back and pretend they didn't see anything 😂
more often than not that did happen, in the early phase of the war. Basically the Germans realized super quick our lads are a tad bit soft and just are coming back with the amount of ammo they went out with so they took up training the types of lads you see in the video above. Stormtroopers right vicious chaps who were trained specifically to go out grenade trenches and hop in and finish guys off with knives and clubs to do that they had to be hard men indeed. Brits and French just did it with veterans German trench raiders though were trained from day one to be comfortable with killing in melee.
normally that did happen, but in the story theyre both after a english spy who got injured in no mans land (i.e both had the same goal so no choice but to fight)
@@legalosmumakilslayer
That’s not ACCURATE I hate to be that prick, but German StoßTrüppen (storm troops) were not trained from day 1 to do trench raids because regular German troops were ‘a tad soft’
Storm troopers were handpicked from veterans already serving, and then were sent to specialist training school for 2 months to learn raid and infiltration tactics. And I wouldn’t say the Germans were soft, they held off and inflicted higher casualties than they received against British, French, Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and Indian troops on just one of their fronts, while also beating back the Russians in the east and even sending troops to face the Italians, and THEN it still took the yanks to finally crack the German army. They were beaten by huge odds not better skill
0:34 I dont know why. but the German soldier with the gauntlet dagger kinda looks like the character from spongebob, the hash-slinging slasher lol
I didn't really like the movie but this scene was incredible
Incredible scene
Fun fact, the German soldier saying bitter was repeatedly saying please in a way that denotes desperation.
Obviouslt every man there looked capable of combat on the German side and the English officer, but man... Theres something about that guy that pulls out the shortened sledgehammer. That is terrifying.
If you've ever played battlefield 1, it's so crazy how similar and accurate it is. The guns, the trench raider, etc
Battlefield 1 invented World War 1
Truly gentlemen, resolving their dispute and an honorable way. Hat off.
The mask part is only for the visual affects when in reality no one would disadvantage themselves by wearing a gas mask when your opponent is breathing freely. Looks cool for the movie and “scary German” but in reality you’d have to be an idiot.
Fair enough Ig. I think these Germans were trench raiders so it makes a little more sense that they would already be using gas masks, with the gas grenades and all. It could also be used simply for intimidation, considering the skulls also painted on their helmets
I have no clue what this movie is, The King's Man. But this fight scene feels almost animated at points, like a game cutscene.
The movement feels good to watch~.
Ik it’s just a movie. But what it must have taken for the men of that generation to go out time and time again in the face of certain death is almost incomprehensible.
I thought the movie was meh, but that scene was really good.
The music
The context of the fight
The lack of dialogues
The consequences of the actions
The camera work
The costumes
The acting
Everything in this scene is really good
it was actually so sad when he died, but at the same time such a good twist, i had mix feelings on the decision to cut him off
that scene was just...wow when watching it in theaters
Dang. I feel so bad for the soldier who was saying “please, please” he never got to see his father or his wife again😢
Or that poor british soldier who was going “UH, GAH,” When the ratty german was stabbing him to his death.
@@TechNerd.. He got london'd. Would've happened anyway
@@charlie_magne_103very true.
I just realized both Captains died to friendly fire
Is it bad that when I saw this in theatres I nerded out over the fact that they included the spiked gauntlet in this scene?
Nah, nothin wrong with enjoying a little bit of historical accuracy
Remember, Conrad was able to survive because he earned a bit of the captain's affection by being the first volunteer and why he wasn't just a second corporal, he had the training of a lieutenant, that... and why is he the protagonist hahaha
Fucken brutal the way the officer died
i felt more bad for the scot (who looked like a kid) that got double teamed by the 2 germans and was repeatedly stabbed in the back while reaching for his comrade.
@@TheBarber5550 yeah that was horrifying
@@TheBarber5550 kinda funny how his face was just still while he was being stabbed
@@RandomPerson-kf6qm what do you mean? the face he made while getting stabbed looks like the face someone would make while getting stabbed. his face wasn't still at all.
Saw this on tiktok but its way better like this
I didn’t really like this movie that much but the fighting scenes were dope asf
I love how this is a callback to the knife training scene where the girl tells Chola that learning knife fighting was pointless in a world with guns, proves her wrong 😂
Very accurate. As far as how’d it turn out. You have the German squad who clearly came with the best hand to hand guys they had who were properly equipped to do so at a moments notice going against the allied squad who really were just picked randomly. None of them had much experience in hand to hand and it shows other than the officer who came prepared
Good observation and makes sense as to why the Germans were dominant.
@@TheMainMayn it was pretty obvious that was the Germans “kill squad” if you will. Every one of them brought some sort of hand to hand weapon that would give them an advantage over just basic knife. These poor troops had no chance. Only 2 with hand to hand experience/ training survived the longest. This might be one of my favorite ww1 scenes in any movie tbh. Truly depicts just how brutal and horrifying no man’s land was
Dont forget they have 'Skulls' on their helmets and trophy ;) @@trev9168
0:34 looked pretty badass ngl
me back in battlefield 1
This is the kind of scene that should've been in All Quiet On The Western Front film that came out recently.
No, because compared to this All quiet is a way more brilliant movie because it doesn't have scenes like this.
The gas masks ruined it for me. No way they’d have worn them in a night raid without any need, if gas would have been used shortly before… the Scottish soldiers would have been using gas masks too.
I think the exact opposite the blank expression of yhe gas mask adds to the suspense and slight terror
I don't think there were many cinematic melee battles in the actual WW1, it just looks cool
Their uniforms are all mix-matched to create different archetypes for the fight. If only the gasmasks look out of place to you then you aren’t as clever as you wanted to sound
Its a movie, they need to add things for certain dramatic intentions
Gas masks were used as a method of phycological warfare and notice how only the stormtroopers we're wearing them.
People back then feared these guys
Even though the stormtroopers we're a form of fear propaganda
