    Default Favourite War Film Sequence...

    Post here your favourite sequences from your favourite war films;

    Some of mine would have to be;
    Saving Private Ryan;
    Where the SS unit bring in the 40mm AA gun to bear on the Americans in the fight for the town towards the end. The sound and power of it is awesome, watch it on DVD with a big screen and the volume up loud!

    Band Of Brothers;
    Where Lte Spiers runs across the field of fire in the attack on Foy, links up with the other team, then runs right back, and doesn't get hit!

    There are loads more to come, no doubt. Give me some of yours...

    BHD:

    1) SFOD-D using NVGs to sneak up behind a .50 cal machine gun technical.

    2) Busch defending the UH-60 by himself and subsequent CSAR.

    3) SFOD-D medics being dropped into downed UH-60 and taking care of skinnies with RPGs.

    4) Shughart and Gordon defending the downed UH-60.

    5) Initial CQB action sequence at beginning showing SFOD-D at their best.

    EVERY SECOND OF THE COOLEST MOVIE EVER- TEARS OF THE SUN!

    Rambo- roughly six million vc and nva charge rambo while he waits for the helo to come get him, but when the pilot betrays him; Rambo goes beserk and slaughters about 30000 nva befor being captured

    Just kidding
    -------------------------------------------------
    Saving Private Ryan- Befor the major fight breaks out at the end, the audio is amazing, it isnt any bull**** it is exactly how it would sound, very good job.

    Hamburger hill- not a battle but when the com of bravo comp chews out the reporter. Also when the vc are hiding inside during the airstrike

    Bhd- Everything
    specifically helo crashing scenes were well done,
    and- night battle where they us nvg against the rebels with the cannon, really shows how much those nvg's make a difference.

    Platoon, when they come to the town and round up the people ect, I think it showed well the effect the war had on people and soilders.

    ps this icon is funny

    Ok, got another one, Band of Brothers, the one where the soldier has that thousand yard stare thing (around episode three i think) and the unit come under attack, and he suddenly finds his steel and starts firing at the retreating German infantry. Later he finds the German he shot and he has Eidelweiss in his lapel (Wehrmacht para i think). But the way that they slow down the firing sequence, the shells spin out of the M1 Garand and whine as they fall, with that metallic ping of the clip finishing. Fantastic, but later he gets shot in the neck and dies of his wounds in 1948!!!
    You know most of the actors/extras are British, capt Winters and the guy that i was describing above are regular British TV stars...

    Nah, the MH-60s are just the special operations version of the Blackhawk UH-60.
