Well, from memory I knew there was a pair jackies seen from a worm's eye view but I didn't do it justice - this is even better than I recalled! 0:35 is just so sublime it's not true, what a shot! The engineer is trying to act all cool and calm too but we know inside he's gasping lol. It's eyes left at 0:07 for me, MP40 cross-strapped across his midriff for ease of use, but all the way down the line both sides of the track his backing band are very much on message for me too. I do like a stiff one as you know fella and this is in glorious cinemascope - superb! Strike up the band at 0:12 and that is my kinda parade (not least Gunther on point!) and there's another stiff 'un at 0:16. They just do it so well fella!!!! Poor Papa Boule gets "the treatment" at 0:26 but if you've gotta go that's how I'd take it, lucky chap. I've been manhandled out of a few establishments in that fashion myself before, but the end results were not so drastic lol. 0:42 is very pleasing on the eye as he wonders wtf just went off, and then enters the star of the show for me at 0:58, working his way through the stained with you know what pages of last month's 'Signal'!!!! He's one of my all-time top Goonz J but he's never looked better than in this cut here. Talk about taking it easy, this guy's almost horizontal lol. 1:14 does not approve (but I do!), though iirc correctly he's actually a French lad playing a Goon, and he's not got a scooby just what was asked of him there? And then we get Schwarz! Next to Boots-up Bernd the star of the whole shebang! He of course is tossed-off the train (fair dodgers, they never learn!) but comes back for more, a star trooper if ever there was one mate, and I am glad he sees it through to the end. It's utter chaos around the 1:45 mark and I never thought jim-jams would go well with a greatcoat but there's your answer there lol. 1:57 looks well pissed off (and his day does not get any better later on!) and what about 2:00, looking cool as a cucumber as he sprints forward to parley with the brass? There's another stiff 'un to feast your eyes on! I told you things did not go well later in the day for 1:57, and there it all ends for him at 2:21. And what about 2:22, as he takes it in the guts and pirouettes like an Olympian mate?! 10/10 for artistic merit! 2:29 stiffens up and does a nice forward roll (there's a lot of "stiffening up" in this one mate!) and how is that for a view at 2:49?!!!! Goon 'n' gun porn if ever there was one lol! Step forward at 2:54, 2:59 centre-left is easy on the eye and what a nice view at 3:01 to boot! What a view at 3:11 (oh to be a cameraman in this one lol) and don't miss the train at 3:19 boys, and what about that view of Schwarz and his backing boys at 3:22?! I love a little grey-on-grey when the sparks fly by the roadside and check out Schwarz again stealing the show at 4:15, and 4:23 sure knows how to pump 'em. Lancaster is pretty handy with a shooter mate and that's the perfect view at 4:37, boots 'n' all, as the peaky gets a bellyful for his trouble. Absolutely brilliant mate! Before we started chatting about this one the other week my memory of it was pretty faint but some of it you just never can forget, and it was so good to get re-acquainted with it once more. You've done a sterling job on this cut fella, the best from this movie I've ever seen, and the plaudits you're receiving are well-earned and deserved. The stats are incredible!!!! I always say you're the best fella, and here's the proof! Well done J!
Awwwwmate - you are the business!! Yeah definitely eyes left at 0:07 and he's in good company - love that shafts together / crossbody shooters show of respect for the brass, and I thought Gunther on point at 0:12 was the Corporal stiffening up at 0:16 - but Guntz is a Sarge. Love the Goon ladz' chopper sideshow at 0:28 before that background 'Shoots 'n' Leaves' mentality execution of Papa B, and I can't remember who's filling the boots at 0:35; I think they were the property of a crack trooper who won't let Frenchie go for a toilet break and tells him to use the fire box lol. WTF? 0:42 defo catches the eye, and boots-up Bernd (lol) is so fkn cool ain't he?!! Love the squaddie buzz and the slack, smoking on the job attitude. Yeah Corporal 1:14 is a Gooned-up Frenchman - easily evading top-Goon Sergeant Schwarz's moronic line of questioning lol. Yeah Schwarzy's the business; lean, mean - sharp as f**k looking in that peak-topped strip - and he's thick as s**t lol. I love the way he's KO'd and offloaded, but I was stoked to see him patched-up 'n' back in the Goon ranks for the endgame too. Yeah - it's not every fella who could get away with that striped jim-jams 'n' leather combo lol; a fashion faux-pas perhaps, but those crack troopz - like a pack of hounds - on the jog make for a welcome distraction. Yeah things defo go from bad to worse after sundown for Leutnant 1:56, and a salute to Sergeant 2:03 - quaking in his jackies as he reports yet another failure by Grunt class to get the job done. Poor lad having his night on the tiles cut terminally short at 2:15, and the deaths of those troopers are defo a bonus in this game of aesthetics - not least that awesome "take it in the guts and pirouette" at 2:22 as you so stylishly say mate. Love the topside squatters at 2:33 and it's definitely a bonus to get a close look at Schwarzy's business end at 2:49. I had to stick the boot in yet again at 2:54 of course and I did put the brakes on a tad (3/4 time) on account of the posturing lad-trooper giving us some 'Kelly's' eye lol 'n' the mounties at 3:17. Schwarz & Co appear so fit for purpose at 3:03 'n' looking up from the ballast at 3:11 - but he just can't be fkn ar*ed at 3:22 which leads to the terminal derailment of course. Up on the road, that Leutnant looks well spattered lol and I love that scruff Major looking out for his beaten troopz. Schwarzy defo steals the show again bossing the situation 'n' calling the shots at 4:23 before he heads for Goonland - and I think that's his original MP40 that Lancaster uses to waste the Col. at the death lol. You've done me SO proud here mate - I can't thank you enough. I saw it by chance on the BBC a few weeks back - but it was talking it through with you (your enthusiasm for the game is priceless fella!) that led to this effort. Thank you A; you're an inspiration A - and still very much the best!!
@@goontroopz9047 That's my kinda gang at 0:07 J, where do I join up?! It's difficult to tell if 0:12 is 0:16 but who knows, perhaps he got a quickfire promotion eh?! Yes my attention was definitely straying at 0:28 as well and you are correct I think on 0:35. They're definitely not Schwarz's jackies anyhow. 0:42 is a model trooper but the star of the whole show for me is that boots up layabout at 0:58 mate, who along with Schwarz is the diamond of diamonds - he can boss me about any day of the week and I'd not be complaining lol. 1:14 Goonz up well for a Frenchie and you're right on Schwarz - dim witted, thick as shit, a total automaton but he's got it in spades ain't he?! The archetypal Goon NCO in all his glory, even when he gets tossed-off for non-payment of fares and still comes back for more lol. All that chaos around jim-jam man does take the eyes off the odd combo of dress (it works though!) and I kind of feel sorry for 1:56 as he has a kind face (he still gets drilled though!) and it's stiffen up time once more (you bet!) when 2:03 puts in his appearance. He's literally quaking in his jackies like you say ha ha. From memory 2:15 is just a lad so yes, a real shame, but the Goonz are soon paying a heavy price as 1:56 (kind face or not!) gets a bellyful of lead for his trouble and 2:22 sure knows how to move. Nice view indeed at 2:33 and and then it's Goon 'n' Gun porn time straight after. 2:54 is a classic vision as well and I noted Kelly's Eye's doppelganger too fella, no wonder you slowed him down along with the mounties! 3:03/3:11 is like a work of art to me mate and he does look miffed at 3:22 - to be fair he's had one shitty day and has the scars to prove it lol. I do like it when Goonz fall out and then Schwarz shows his dark side at 4:23. I am glad he made it this time but no doubt his war caught up with him soon enough?! I think you're right on that being his MP40 used to top the Col (serves him right) and then it's a wrap. Honestly J, I hadn't seen this movie for years before you mentioned it but I did recall it had much to approve of and it's down to your cut you sent me before uploading here that I watched it again the other week and it did not disappoint. If I had anything to do with your decision to upload it here then I am really chuffed J, and what a response you're getting - almost 100k views in under a week!!!!! Keep 'em coming fella!!!
Very astute of you! When Darryl Zanuck was preparing to film "The Longest Day" he shot some test footage in color. The color film just didn't give him the hard, gritty look he wanted so it was black and white for the finished product. Audiences of the 1960s accepted B&W films but I doubt today's would.
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 I watch a lot of TV westerns reruns: Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, Rifleman, Bat Masterson, Wells Fargo, Have Gun..., Tombstone Territory, et al. And I always seem to enjoy them more when the reruns are B&W, rather than the later color versions. The plots seemed better, somehow, in B&W.
One of the great WWII films. My friend and I showed it to his grandson - he, typically for his generation, didn't think there were enough train-wrecks. We told him to keep in mind that the ( stunningly staged ) wrecks weren't models or CGI; those are all real ( 30 ton ? ) locomotives and stock flying at you.
This is such a hidden gem in cinema filmography. I watched it about a year or two ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cast is monumental, and the plot remarkably sound. I could delve into a whole analysis of Colonel von Waldheim alone!
One of my relatives was an airborne soldier in the German Army and he had been killed almost during an ambush of serbian partisans which stopped a train with German troops. He was wounded by shrapnels in the back and some pieces could not taken away out of his body. And as a child I became acquainted with an old man who was a lieutenant in the Wehrmacht and he and a lot of his comrades were captured by soviet partisans during a similiar train-assault. The partisans forced them all to go in the forest nearby and than they executed them all by firing in the crowd. Some are not still dead, they were still moving on the ground and moaned and they were now killed one after the other with pistols. The lieutenant had got a bullet in the neck but he was still alive. He layed under the bodies of some comrades an their blood run over him. Despite pain he freezed and deceived he is dead and so the soviets did not recognize that he was alive. After the disappear of the partisans he crawled back to the „Rollbahn“ with strong pain and there he was found any hours later by another German Unit.
If you're a railfan and especially a steam freak the sight of those locomotives being wrecked makes your blood run cold! The only saving grace is they were headed to the scrapper anyway so at least they went out in a blaze of glory!
Yes, like "The Longest Day," the black and white adds an element of credibility I think. Makes you believe the world was in black and white back then. Lol.
Un coronel fanático por cumplir órdenes demenciales (no duda en fusilar o simples empleados ferroviarios, un criminal de guerra) que hasta último momento privilegia traspasar la carga (de obras de arte "robadas o saquedas" ) del inutilizado tren de carga a camiones que evacuan (sanas y heridas) a sus propias tropas pretendiendo que estas caminen y el irse con su carga cómodamente, excelente film que muestra una historia basada en hechos reales
Brilliant film.. i've watched it many times .. also see - The Battle of the Rails (French: La Bataille du rail) is a 1946 French war film directed by René Clément ..

v: Waldheim is played by one of the greatest British actor and Shakespearian Paul Scofield who here is more German than a real German. His second in command is Wolfgang Preiss (Herren) who never got out of uniform since WW II, having played every German officer under the sun ( the Longest Day). For war buffs Preiss played in the 1942 movie starring Zarah Leander "Die Grosse Liebe". I have seen this 50 times.
From the movie: The Train. It was based on fact, but mainly so modified that it basically became fiction. WW2 Nazis trying to remove French works of art, and get them to Germany..... via a single train.
Right. There WAS a train loaded with art plundered by the Germans but the French railroaders routed the train in circles around Paris, the Germans on board being none the wiser until the train ran into the advancing Western Allies. All true but not quite the stuff for a WW2 action film.
"Get your men off those trucks Lieutenant." "But I have orders..." "Your orders... I don't care about your orders. I want those trucks!" That Lieutenant is screwed no matter what he does. Lol.
Definitely a no-win situation for the junior mate. "There's a French armoured Division just over that hill; what about my men?" "I don't care about your men!..." Such contempt for squaddie class lol.
@@goontroopz9047Yeah... apparently the troops are nothing more than fodder for the whims of their superiors. And their "whims" are as plentiful as the bullets. Lol.
Luckily the L-T was saved by the timely arrival of his CO who quite rightly doesn't care who the colonel is and won't be bullied, von Waldheim's not in the major's chain of command in any way and can't interfere with or countermand the major's orders. That's the real way anybody's military works.
We had the same problem in peacetime military when I was in the Marine Corps in the 80s. My sgt told me to NOT drive our Humvee for anyone, and a Gunnery Sgt wanted me to drive him around and he said the same thing as the Nazi "I don't care about your orders!". I remember him shoving and pushing me around trying to get me to buckle. Later my sgt. told me I did the right thing by not giving in, and later our First Sgt. told me the same thing.
The one thing I could never understand is why they stenciled the names of the artists on the crates. That is literally the least important piece of information you need on a shipping container.
Funny….everybody with an MP38/40 has only the one magazine in the gun….and no mag pouches with spare loaded mags. About three or four seconds of firing and they are all out of ammo, and no spare mags. German soldiers in the war with MP-38/40’s would have had a minimum of six extra loaded spare mags on their belt. Hollywood is funny sometimes…. Ha, ha, ha
Hi, I'm from Russia, but I have German roots. I really love German uniforms, equipment and boots. I really like your channel. Lots of interesting videos and comments. I review it many times and read your comments. Unfortunately, I do not know any other languages. That's why I'm writing through a translator. Sometimes I write in Russian and see likes, it's very pleasant to me. So I'm with you guys. I put on my uniform, put on my boots and go forward in the name of a great goal.

Terrific film, great performances, the destruction of every French steam locomotives in 1965? was renown.
If you're a railfan and especially a steam freak the sight of those locomotives being wrecked makes your blood run cold! The only saving grace is they were headed to the scrapper anyway so at least they went out in a blaze of glory!

@@KManXPressTheU Just as well. Matt Dillon wouldn't want 'em hanging around Dodge anyway.
@@thesixshooter6506 Nope, Sounds Like they were,or Had just Escaped the Falaise Gap.
3:56 I wish I looked as good as that Man.
When the needs of the Art outways the needs of the many men....
At 0:31, at least 3 soldiers firing machine guns, and no ricochets.
Glad no one got hurt.
una película magistral
From the movie: The Train. It was based on fact, but mainly so modified that it basically became fiction.
WW2 Nazis trying to remove French works of art, and get them to Germany..... via a single train.
Right. There WAS a train loaded with art plundered by the Germans but the French railroaders routed the train in circles around Paris, the Germans on board being none the wiser until the train ran into the advancing Western Allies. All true but not quite the stuff for a WW2 action film.
Paul schofield..wow!!
Well I'm just glad no one got hurt.
I'm pure glad you're glad no one got hurt fella!!
Well Lancaster sprained an ankle!
"Get your men off those trucks Lieutenant." "But I have orders..." "Your orders... I don't care about your orders. I want those trucks!" That Lieutenant is screwed no matter what he does. Lol.
Definitely a no-win situation for the junior mate. "There's a French armoured Division just over that hill; what about my men?" "I don't care about your men!..." Such contempt for squaddie class lol.
@@goontroopz9047Yeah... apparently the troops are nothing more than fodder for the whims of their superiors. And their "whims" are as plentiful as the bullets. Lol.
Luckily the L-T was saved by the timely arrival of his CO who quite rightly doesn't care who the colonel is and won't be bullied, von Waldheim's not in the major's chain of command in any way and can't interfere with or countermand the major's orders. That's the real way anybody's military works.
We had the same problem in peacetime military when I was in the Marine Corps in the 80s. My sgt told me to NOT drive our Humvee for anyone, and a Gunnery Sgt wanted me to drive him around and he said the same thing as the Nazi "I don't care about your orders!". I remember him shoving and pushing me around trying to get me to buckle.
Later my sgt. told me I did the right thing by not giving in, and later our First Sgt. told me the same thing.
@@blockmasterscott I hope your First Shirt went looking for that Gunnery Sergeant and gave him a little "counseling session" when he found him!
The one thing I could never understand is why they stenciled the names of the artists on the crates. That is literally the least important piece of information you need on a shipping container.
@2:31 that’s some quality acting 😂
Funny….everybody with an MP38/40 has only the one magazine in the gun….and no mag pouches with spare loaded mags. About three or four seconds of firing and they are all out of ammo, and no spare mags.
German soldiers in the war with MP-38/40’s would have had a minimum of six extra loaded spare mags on their belt.
Hollywood is funny sometimes…. Ha, ha, ha
These are hollywood mags and never run out, you should know this.
Hi, I'm from Russia, but I have German roots. I really love German uniforms, equipment and boots. I really like your channel. Lots of interesting videos and comments. I review it many times and read your comments. Unfortunately, I do not know any other languages. That's why I'm writing through a translator. Sometimes I write in Russian and see likes, it's very pleasant to me. So I'm with you guys. I put on my uniform, put on my boots and go forward in the name of a great goal.
Nice one mate!! You're welcome any time!!
@@goontroopz9047 I wonder if it's possible to get to know each other better?
@@user-rt3qv9pk9f Sure mate. Are you on VK/ВКонтакте perhaps?
@@goontroopz9047 yes
And the telegrams?
After the Russians, you did NOT want to be captured by the French.
Or the Poles, or the Czechs, or the Dutch, or the Belgians, or the Danes…
@@kirishima638A guy wasn't safe just getting out of bed.
@@kirishima638Hitler had pretty much pissed-off everybody. Lol.
Movie name please.
It's in the description mate - 'The Train' (1964)
THE TRAIN *
LOL, Shooting an MP40 from the hip.
One of those Germans looks like Bruce Stringsteen
It's his cousin Der Boss 😁
Так они и доехали до Рейхстагу...
Seems like Germans had no shortages of infantry…
I don't understand how they were able to defeat us. We are the strongest army in the world.

No context. Lame.
Arrow spinning?! Lame.
