SAS Soldier Breaks Down 11 Military Scenes | Movies Insider - Zábava
Now tell him to review indian action movies. He will lose his mind.
lmao, can confirm
BRO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT
Bollywood uses nuclear explosives only 😝😂
What about african movies
@@NavrajThapa2002 lmao stfu -_-
Well I've spent 27 years on the sofa and even I can tell you Commando was unrealistic.
Very good 😂😂
well said sir
It would be realistic if Arnold Schwarzenegger joined the Military.
What??? My childhood movie hero was a lie??😂😂
Bob Houghton I laughed so hard, thank you for this
I'll admit that his breakdown of Blackhawk Down was intriguing. He spotted the "unrealistic" parts - which were, in fact, exactly what happened in real life. Going during the day, and right ontop of the target downtown. Precisely what caused the problems that day, and why Garrison took full responsibility.
Think you missed his point. It is unlikely a broad daylight raid would happen. But then he said, but due time lines, they might have to. People should listen to what he actually says.
@@dalj4362 I think you should have paid attention to everything that I said as well.
@@dalj4362 I listened, and its quite clear he hasnt a clue about the historical events. No point pointing out how unrealistic a scene is when that is in fact, exactly what happened in real life.
He does not acknowledge documented events in this video.
Yeah, this video should have been about fictional battle scenes. He wouldn’t know the historical detail of the real life incidents to know if the film makers had been accurate or not. He’s just guessing.
Agreed, these videos always seem to have at least one movie like this when the “expert” reviewing either hasn’t seen the movie to understand the context or doesn’t know enough about the event the movie may be based on.
In this case i’m kinda shocked he didn’t know more about the movie/incident. I would have thought that it would have been used as a teaching tool for special ops teams worldwide - maybe it’s just in the planning.
But yeah he should have said, this was a bad idea, because of this incident it’s no longer how it’s typically done or at least the risk levels are much better known.
Also 6/10??? Cause of the grenade launcher? Should’ve been much higher
10:08 John Steele was the name of the American paratrooper who was caught on the tower of Sainte-Mere-Eglise. He in fact survived, was made an honorary citizen of the village and continued to visit it throughout his life.
I didn’t know that thanks. The movie is one of my favorites
I think there is even a monument based on his lading dedicated to all paratroopers in St-Mere Eglise
I didn't know his name, but knew a soldier had that experience. Good old days when history channel actually showed history. (Kids back then wondered aloud why History channel was mostly a WWII shrine in programming.)
Isn't the parachute still there?
@@polreamonn Yes it is, along with a model/figure of soldier dangling from it. Cool stuff.

Who also married a Kennedy

If he found a victim of a napalm strike would he complain about it being burnt?

The rocket launcher Schwarzenegger uses in 'Commando' is a M202 Flash. It's a Vietnam-era rocket launcher designed to replace flame throwers, firing four incendiary rockets. It was essentially a mobile napalm cannon.

Looks like you just copied and pasted from wiki.
@@chrisburns143 Thanks... I guess.
And definitely not a nuclear weapon
@@idiotbuster8662 my man, he was not serious when he said that
In my personal experience, I've found that the bigger the flame in an explosion, the weaker it is. Most of the IEDs, mortars, grenades, etc that I've seen go off have a minimal fireball if any. The forces are so powerful that it puts the fire out. Sometimes the explosions create secondary fires though. Movie explosions are so far off from the real thing.
Also, if you're close enough to an explosion where it throws you away from it (every action film ever made) chances are you're dead. The concussive forces alone (without any shrapnel) will kill you. These forces will rock your brain and destroy your lungs.
And rupture your aorta. That can happen even in a minor car accident, let alone an explosion, and it's one of the most common ways victims die.
@Gareth Tucker I've stood about 15m away from 7lbs of C4 going off. You feel the force of it but theres no real kickback. I was holding a blanket though lol
This is true. Something Hollywood doesn’t to want to know, because a real grenade or explosive isn’t as visually stimulating. The more flash and fire just means you’re expending the energy on just that, a light show. You want all of that power in the concussion and shock wave, something Hollywood rarely shows, a shock wave.
Even a grenade should create a small shock wave. You want that fast evacuation of air to help propel the shrapnel, which does the real damage, not a bunch of flame and smoke.
i have worked as a special effects designer for film and television and many of their explosions, like a car explosion, is actually a lot of flame canons and air canons mounted in the vehicle aimed out every window. The air canons propel pieces of styrofoam and other lightweight materials to simulate shrapnel.
There is never an actual boom of an explosion on set. They add the sound in post production. They really just want to see as much bright flame and junk flying around as possible. Now they add the flames in post or enhance them with CGI. Hollywood gives people who have never been in the military a really bad expectation of the real thing.
Even when real dynamite or TNT go off, there is little to no flames. All the energy is put into the concussion, not the flames, but all TNT in movies has to create a mushroom cloud of flames and smoke. Any good explosion wants to evacuate all of the air from an area, then have all of that air slam back together to fill the vacuum the explosion caused. That’s the reverse, or implosion, which is just as deadly.
One real mistake in Saving Private Ryan has to be the bullets hitting guys underwater with deadly force. Even the Mythbusters proved that the velocity of a bullet is severally slowed once hitting the resistance of the water. The higher the caliber round, the less penetration it had.
A .22 caliber round will go deeper into water with deadly force than will a .50 caliber. In fact, the .50 cal rounds disintegrated upon hitting the water’s surface. The force of the round destroyed itself upon meeting the resistance of the water surface.
If you’re two feet or more underwater, you’re pretty much safe from any round. A small .22 round may penetrate the water enough to hit you, but it won’t have enough velocity to even pierce the skin, much less do deadly damage like they showed in Saving Private Ryan.
It was quite a shame, because so much else of the opening scene they got right, just not those hits underwater and of course, the explosions.
I dont think they will use real nuclear in Wolverine movies for sure.
The only outlier in that will be fuel air explosion I would presu,e

This is very helpful to me as an actor, because more often than not the difference in realism and authenticity isn't directors and effects, but how well we actors can portray these characters without being overly dramatic while getting details like how to hold weapons and even wear our uniforms correctly.
I remember shooting a scene for Daredevil, the series, the cops in the scene were real NYPD cops doing this as a side gig. So one of them asked the Director, "Should we have our guns out?" and the Director said, "Do what you would normally do in this situation." The guns came out; perfect action, entirely realistic.

@JohnOhkumaThief - have you seen Kajaki?
I’m a military veteran and most Hollywood dialogue is utter bollocks (crap). This movie was spot on.
The speech, banter and inflections were exactly how British soldiers speak.
I discovered later that the actors actually met and conversed with the real guys because this film is based upon true events.
To avoid spoiling it - watch it without reading up about it and definitely avoid seeing any trailers.
After you see the movie, then think about how the actors were. It might be helpful to you
Love how he roasts black hawk down during the accurate parts
BHD is one of the more well done “war movies” and yes. The events happened and the movie portrayed them extremely realistically. What Billy is referring to is the more finer details:
A 40mm GLA has very little kick. It doesn’t make your rifle bounce up like that. The gold top rounds don’t make flame and flash like that. Just bang and frag.
The rappelling and “fast rope” stuff like that?
It was done. It’s one of the reasons 2 blackhawks got clipped so easily in a large operation.
What Billy is saying is that it’s not done anymore. Certainly not by British or Australian infantry and SF units. That’s what we call a static and stationary infill and it’s extremely high risk. It’s why we use fast moving armoured troop carriers like PMVs/Bushmasters and have air units for overwatch and support but they’re never stationery in an area of operations.
The enemy confirmations and such in American Sniper are extremely unrealistic as Billy says and a sniper leaving an over watch position to join a patrol etc. is ridiculous. That movie whilst based on a real person is extremely “Hollywoodised” to make it more cinematic.
The only thing I’d argue with is the 7.62 rounds zipping through water in Saving Private Ryan.
Ballistic trials have proven its impossible for rounds to move like that in water. In fact the larger the caliber the more inefficient they are when hitting water which is 800% more dense than air and the energy dispersion of the round is extremely rapid. You can still be hit with rounds in shallow water. It’s possible to still be shot in shallow water. But it’s proven that all rounds, even larger rounds from 30mm weapon systems are basically non lethal beyond 30cm of water

I can’t wait for Insider to drop “Real Terrorist breaks down 11 terrorism scenes.”
Oh...what a great idea..."I am Ahmad from the WHA Organization...that's We Hate America...and let's look at our first clip...In this scene, a terrorist is blown up with his own mail bomb when it was returned to him b/c of lack of proper postage....this is unrealistic because everyone knows that when you get a package in the mail without the correct postage and no return address, no one is that stupid to open it up again....well except for this guy...In our second clip, this is also unrealistic, because everyone knows that you are supposed to jump out of your car before ramming it into a building and detonating the explosives in it. Remember, kill the infidels, but save yourself. Now, this scene is correct because the media does downplay terrorist attacks caused by our people...In one instance, the US Secretary of State blamed this video when the US Embassy in Benghazi was attacked and we killed the US Ambassador...It is as if the media is on our side..."
Ummm that’s what this video was

That's why I don't watch these pseudo 'realistic' 🐃💩 shows.
I love it. My two favorite movies listed both got the highest scores. This channel is so good.
Saving Private Ryan was the only movie where I had to sit outside of the cinema and think about what I just sat and watched for nearly 3 hours. Turns out I wasn’t the only one as several people did the same thing. We all sat in silence and had the same shocked expression on our faces. It was a pretty emotional moment. No other movie has ever done that for me.
Indeed it was a very intense film and quite realistic. Some people have actually questioned the whole plot of the film, but these 'sole survivor' rescue mission did actually happen. After All of the Sullivan Brothers got killed on a Navy destroyer, they brought in a policy were they would save at least 1 family member to preserve family bloodlines. There's a bit more to it than that, but that's the jist.
At the time, those opening scenes were the most vivid war scenes ever in a film. Now they're more commonplace, but at the time I had never seen such chaos and the "fog of war" as that landing scene, and I have watched many war movies. It was a vast improvement over what came before, cinematically. And yes it was sobering - like being a witness to the real thing.

I like how he doesn’t seem to know anything about the actual black hawk down incident. They did do all that in broad daylight and it was indeed a clusterfuck but that doesn’t make it unrealistic.
Tbh, that was almost 30 years ago now. Black Hawk is the reason why coming in during broad daylight by helicopter is not done anymore. It's realistic pre 1993. Unrealistic post 1993.
Just like how having your infantry march in line was realistic up until the early mid 20th century. But it's unrealistic now.
It's interesting as it shows the difference between British training and US training i.e. unfortunately US training is quite poor in comparison.
@@rsmith6366 I mean it was uncommon even back then, only poorly trained army's would do it like that, as they wouldn't have the capability of performing night time air operations.
@@Alex-cw3rz Except that the only reason they did it during the day is because that’s when the meeting was taking place. You just want to spread your inaccurate claims that the US is poorly trained for some reason.
@@brycewalker3726 It's well known the US army isn't well trained, this isn't a revelation, also even if they had to do it in the day due to the meeting, the way it was executed was exceptionally poor, having to be saved by UN forces is just embarrassing, especially as they are not the best coordinated group ever and that's an understatement.

"Someone on CZcams tried to disprove..."
"I've SEEN people get shot underwater"
They are both right, honestly. It just depends on the bullet and its velocity entering the water. Supersonic FMJ bullets will tend to quickly fragment upon striking the surface of the water; subsonic bullets aren't subjected to as much shock and can penetrate through water more easily. And there are also AP bullets with steel or tungsten penetrators, where the penetrator would be able to separate from the rest of the bullet and continue through the water at high speed due to their narrow cross-section and much harder and tougher material. There are even some bullets specifically designed to work under water.
Given his military experience, I would imagine he saw people shot under water with armour penetrating rounds.
It was figured out through controlled tests that smaller gauge rounds tend to be able to travel further and have a better chance of hitting someone underwater than higher calibre rounds. The larger rounds encounter more resistance in water which greatly shortens the effective lethal range.
Those people he saw shot under water we're probably shot with standard 7.62mm rounds (the primary ammo used in M16s and Canadian forces rifles).
@@MGlBlaze Exactly what I was thinking. But I'm not buying the way the bullets travel under water in the scene in 11:47 . Looks like they go in a straight path for multiple meters. I'd like to believe that a bullet loses it's energy somewhere between one and two meters (if not fragmented in the impact). I would love to be proven wrong though.
And just to be clear: I'm not doubting that Billy hasn't seen people get shot underwater.
War historian: "No American M4s fought Tiger 1s during WW2".
Fat Joe Bingham, who drove an M4 during the War: "We killed 7 tigers in Belgium and 4 King Panthers in Germany! Why, I personal shot 7 SS officers with my 1911 as we were passing by!"
isthatujeebus same here buddy! 🇬🇧
Some of the scenes he criticises are well documented, like the para stuck on the bell tower in St Marie Eglise (Pte John Steele, 505 PIR), Marcus Lutrell falling down the hillside and Delta assaulters and Rangers landing on the X. In several of these, the original participants were at the filming location, ensuring the portrayal was as accurate as possible. Additionally, what he calls a nuclear weapon in Commando is an M202 FLASH manpad, and Arnold operates it the way it’s meant to, even though the resulting explosions are exaggerated.
Not a MANPAD, that’s a man portable air defense system like a Stinger
@@RallyRallyRally Thanks bro. Of course you are absolutely right.

Finally someone notices how Hollywood does not understand grenades at all.
Hollywood understands grenades just fine, but they used to... still do, can't stand that the visuals are largely unimpressive. Toss one in a door and there's an incredible report, but there's no smoke aside from any dust shaken off the structure when it pipped up a little bit and the windows broke. Hollywood goes "That's all?" ignoring the minced human inside, but it's not all that exciting to watch.
Unfortunately they believe in the predominance of people who want flashy over realistic, whether it's because they don't know or don't care.
@@mfree80286 I can personally only name 3 or 4 movies in which grenades are depicted realistically. The Hollywood go-to seems to always include lots of flames, throwing men 20 feet from the blast, no shrapnel, and no disorientation or hearing damage.
@@christopherwilson8230 Because they have to CGI it. The visible effects of a real high explosive are the same things that would be killing the stunt crew for being anywhere near it. Union rules, no 40psi overpressures on live sets....

@@christopherwilson8230 *now*, but not until the last decade. And it's still not "visually exciting".

Mythbusters proved that you can get shot underwater - it depends on the muzzle velocity of the gun used. Generally, the lower the velocity the more likely it is that the gun will be able to hit you underwater. Smaller firearms were working pretty well as opposed to the fancy high caliber sniper rifle.
8 feet, and their shot was a whole lot closer than any Nazi on D day.
You'll need to watch that episode again. They CONFIRMED the myth, and concluded that most weapons, excluding the 9mm pistol and 12gauge slug they shot vertically, lose all energy within 3 feet of water if shot at a 25 degree angle. The germans are firing a 7.92×57mm MG 42, which most definitely wouldn't kill them that deep under water. SAS guy just isn't aware of this apparently.

Grenade launchers aren't really small arms.
The Crimson Fucker I’m sorry you must be right, please explain your military background to us though just so we know you know what you’re talking about.
@@Ethan-km4lx
"Small arms" is the category that describes personal firearms and light machine-guns.
Man-portable explosive ordinance, of which grenade launchers are, falls under the category of "light weapons".
Under-barrel grenade launchers are specifically listed by the UN as "light weapons".
Different nations might have some divergence in categorization but these are generally accepted conventions.

@@Criomorph Are you seriously arguing that with an ex SAS soldier?!.. I mean what does he know?..

I like that at 3:39 you can see the springboard pop up in the bottom right that launched the extra.
I second a lot of what he said, but Blackhawk Down was pretty historically accurate. It was a shitty operational decision but they did insert in daylight. So his criticism is correct but they movie is accurate
He was right from the military point of view though; I'm ex military myself, although nothing as good as this guy and I was amazed watching Black hawk down first time - I've read about, so I knew it WAS what happened
He’s criticising the way they’ve done the operation basically saying it was stupid
However, it was really there only option because it’s was a target location
@@NWO2023 Yeah but this video is "How real is it?", not a professional criticism of actual occurrences. Sadly, that stupid decision was very real, and good men paid with their lives

I want to see his reaction into COD Clean house mission.
There is a channel called REDCELL with ROK UDT/SEALs doing just that.
@@MrDK0010 I think theres a bit of a difference between how SEALs and SAS Clear buildings, unsure but due to different country and branch they'd obviously have some little differences
@@KageRuffian yep youre right. Although the mission was pretty cool they made a lot of mistakes in the house clearing in my eyes.
@Mattchew UK I just wanted to confirm that every military has similar but not the same tactics sense of cleaning house e.g. I am not saying their stuff was wrong but lemme name a fww examples that just come to mind:
When going up the stairs one person focuses always to the right, so you always got one person that looks at the newest angle, opening it up all the way. The other looks straight up. In the mission it wasnt always done.
When cleaning houses you dont wanna stick together like they did, you only got two people on the stairs at once until theyre at top but you dont lose view contact (one of the rules of house clearing)
When moving along a corridor you always have your back covered and not turn your back to a potentially dangerous angle like the guy did who got shot. You coulda made a pass there, which is the front person looking at the door, then quickly moving to the other side of the door but always facing it to secure it while the guy from the back tags along with you and secures the stairs whilst a third person secures the door from the other side.
The problem is that the perfect mission doesnt exist. The mission in the game is executed well and professionally but mistakes are always made and heck I couldnt have done it as well because I got less experience. The game scene is pretty realistic although I dont get why the characters were always so close together in the scenes. Not very navy seal like from what Ive seen from their training in videos.
@Mattchew UK Yeah well I can just tell you how I learned it. Then again we dont know what goes one in the background. They can always say the game was made with Navy Seals but in the end just receive tips from them and the rest they do themselves. Also I wish we had a bigger budget, I want those panoramic nvgs :D

Im sorry this guy refused to see the facts behind why he did what he did in that series. If i remember correctly he engaged the building to get the sniper after reinforcements arrived.
@@Stormshock5 And that isn't a bodyguard's job.
He actually got on top of her in that car to protect her but we weren't shown that scene. He also didn't leave her alone, the rest of the bodyguards showed up to protect her before he left.
what he is using is a multi shot portable flame weapon. i tested them in the marines in 1978 the ammunition tended to swell in the tube in high humidity and the 40 mm rocket would swell and when fired the entire launcher would go flip flopping down range with 4 rockets in it one armed. it was fun.
btw it used white phosphorus and made a white cloud when hitting target and did set fires.
This is the best military expert i have seen on this channel.

What would be really awesome is if they would have a clip of how directors and writers explain how their versions make money. Because while we military folks offer our opinions, we should also give credit that it's at least putting the subject in the general attention of the populace. Certainly everyone here has told a story in its true detail and no one was interested. The real thing worth exploring is why directors and writers do this and how they know their version of events is "better".

Nothing arnold has ever accomplished was considered realistic.... He's just arnold
Well said. That's why I enjoy his action movies, expecting realism from them would be missing the point. Three of the cast members of Predator were actually in the military(Arnold served in the Austrian Army for one year) and one of them(Jesse Ventura) even said that with the early scene in the movie(before they encounter the Predator) when Arnie and his men attack a guerilla fighter base, if it were real life, they would all be dead.

EnglishXnXproud Of course it’s not. It’s the scale of realism in a movie/show. If that’s your criteria 10 is literally impossible, and should not be a part of the scale. Fucko
The bunkers at Normandy during D day did not fire directly down the beach as there was no window slits . They were very well camouflaged and protected against the ocean and were set up to fire at soldiers PASSING BY THE SIDE
I don't see the point of measuring the realism of 'Commando'. You don't need an ex-SAS to know it's unrealistic.

"one of those nuclear grenades again" yea surprisingly efficient right

Funny cause in the 50s the Marines wanted nuclear grenades
It's called a M202A1 - odd that he doesn't know what it is.
@dizy same but he's British so could of not seen in action
am i the only person that saw the catapult thing make the right guy fly into the air
I recall a historian saying a few years ago that a study of casualties on Utah beach showed that those who sank in the water survived a bit more than those who did not, and a later experiment demonstrated that bullets fired into water were slowed much more than air. The conclusion drawn was that if you fell a few feet down the bullet velocity would be slowed by the water enough not to kill. Mind you then you'd have to get out of the water before you drowned so..
Saving Private Ryan - my late father was career Navy at the outbreak of ww2. He never really spoke about the war but he was on landing craft on d-day and he did say that the landing scene was the nearest thing to being there and cried when he watched it.

I'd actually like to see what he has to say about shows. Me and my buddies used to tear apart movies we watched together as teenagers (one of my friends worked at a place like blockbuster, we got to see everything days before it was released in the store), then write reviews for the store under pen names and the store would post them on a board for people to read. There was one veteran soldier who talked to us one day in the store. He started talking to us about our review on Gran Torino and how we didn't know shit about retired soldiers. We admitted we didn't, and he gave us a calm and gathered earful about how we wrote our reviews. We liked this ol' vet so much, we included him in our group. He broke down everything for us and didn't ruin any movies, just clarified the reality of what we were entertained by. Gave us all a new perspective, and one of our group ended up working for a local paper because of his reviews. Every single person has different knowledge, and it's nice to see when people open your eyes to get rid of your ignorance towards dramatization in films.
Ain’t nothing that Shrek can do
Yeah my dad does this bullshit lmao, ruins literally every movie (that's not realistic) ( that's not what would happen).....yeah we know it's called a movie 🤦
Pity "Full Metal Jacket" or even "Platoon" were not mentioned in any way.

idk about platoon but full metal jacket is very american and he's SAS
Saving Private Ryan's DDAY sequence was so realistic is caused PTSD episodes for some of the vets they invited to the screening
In some respects. In other aspects it's not realistic (beach wasn't that short, more ships were involved, beach obstacles facing wrong way etc).

Never seen that sort of launcher because it’s an American incendiary rocket launcher from the ‘70s that was put into storage shortly after being produced. M202 FLASH.
Also, it's not even an anti-personnel weapon. (or a "nuclear weapon" like he put it jokingly). It's actually designed to launch incendiary rockets to destroy foliage or wooden structures.
Basically, it was built mostly for rural/jungle warfare?
@@zacksilverstone7642 Meant for stuff like 'Nam.

@@zephramcochrane-gillies3641
Naw, it is an anti-personnel weapon, it's _primarily_ designed for assaulting structures because it was designed to replace flamethrowers, but it's not like it's going to bounce off infantry if you use it on them.
Very accurate, just one point on the Bodyguard scene, the back up vehicle was in close support, he says "look after the P", (principle) before he goes to deal with the threat.
