FURY (2014) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

Shia’s acting in this movie… everyone was really good but I was floored by how good Shia was here!

"Ideals are peaceful. History is violent." Fun Fact: All of the extras are British military or former military. One scene had 350 extras. Gun Enthusiast Fact: Brad Pitt shoots several German soldiers with a German-made Sturmgewehr 44, also known as a StG 44, the world's first successful automatic rifle. Tank Enthusiast Fact: The second time a genuine Tiger I tank has been used in the production of a WWII film. It features "Tiger 131" from the UK's Bovington Tank Museum, the only fully functioning Tiger I tank in the world. Historical Fact: Despite the dramatic ending, it should be mentioned that the Ordnance Battalion attached to the 2nd Armored Division would have had Fury cleaned, painted inside, patched, repaired, and released in about 48 hours. The Sherman tanks seen in this movie were considered the weakest of tanks at that time period. However, the L55 M1A2 76mm gun mounted on Fury was capable of penetrating the front armor of the Tiger tank at ranges up to 700 meters, more if HVAP ammo was used.

In the tank duel scene, the Tiger tank was played by Tiger 131- an actual Tiger 1 tank captured nearly intact during WW2. 131 was restored, and is the very last operational Tiger 1 in the world. She resides at the Bovington Tank Museum in Britain, and she gets to roll out during special events at the museum. From a historical standpoint, Tiger 131 is priceless.

This movie is so underrated. As batshit crazy as Shia LeBouf might be in real life, he was perfectly cast as Bible. Such a great movie.

Not gonna lie... that moment where Pitt falls back into the tank mortally injured and hugs Bible's dead body broke me.

The term Murder Inc was first used in 1920's in Chicago. It was a nickname for one of the mafia families.

This wasn't what I thought it would be. Much better. I'll have to watch the whole movie. My great grandfather died in his tank. That was back when tanks were a new thing, and only had a 2 man crew. Respect.

Shia legit looks like he went to war and put a 1000 yard stare in his eyes for this film

Their determination even though they recognise they are going to die is the epitome of Bravery. it is how heroes are born and legends are made. There is more heart and soul in the climax of this movie than the entire MCU or any modern franchise you care to name

"If they had more ammo, they would have won." That is the story of war, run out of ammo, no winter clothing, disease, starvation, bad water, low ammo, out numbered, bogged down machinery, fatigued soldiers, fresh soldiers, and the list goes on and on. All those things add up to victory or loss. Many a war has been won, not by soldiers, but by mother nature. War really is hell on a level that my pampered mind cannot even begin to fathom. Every time I try to put myself in these soldiers boots, my mind locks up, it can't get past, "man this would really suck." Those civilian deaths is also why the US has a policy of fighting every war on foreign soil, even if it means striking first to start the war early before the enemy starts it on your shores.

I liked this movie hard to believe it's 9 years old. My how time flies.

Murder, Inc. way way older than Ja Rule. It was a real thing.

Love the soundtrack to fury. Also a very underrated war movie. Yes Brad and Shia killed their parts. Sending love ❤❤❤

Kraut is a German word recorded in English from 1918 onwards as a derogatory term for a German, particularly a German soldier during World War I.

"Kraut" was a derogatory for the Germans. It probably started in WWI and carried over. "Hun" or "Bosche" were also used, mainly by the British. It is interesting that Wardaddy was using a German MP44. That was a game changing rifle, but its development and adoption was delayed in no small part due to the political infighting so common in the Germany higher commands. They also had a good magazine fed self-loader earlier in the war, one that could have competed with the US M1 Garand, but it was not widely used either. The Germans also had a grenade launcher akin to the later US M-79 40mm. It terrified Allied troops that encountered it, but it too was rare. The Panzerfaust on the other hand was quite common. It was lethal to tanks, but had such a short range it was also often lethal to the operator. The larger Panzershrek, and upsized copy of the American bazooka, was even more dangerous.

The best part of the movie in my opinion is when they’re sitting in the tank before that battalion gets to them and he says the Bible verse. Sends chills every time.

This movie is absolutely incredible

With white horse is a metaphor for impending death. Just like in Tombstone in the wedding scene. From the Bible verse death rides a pale horse.

Unike the dude in Private Ryan, Norman actually grows a pair before the end of the movie.

I think Shia LaBeouf is a great actor! Underrated in my opinion. But the whole cast killed it. Great reaction!

The scene with them acting like aholes in the house can be summed up by the story Gordo tells. He talked about killing horses for days. This was especially traumatic because Brad Pitt’s character loves horses. This can be seen in the begging of the movie when he pets the horse. They felt like they went through hell killing horses, fighting in Africa, France and Germany and Norman didn’t. This is why Gordo says “you weren’t there”. The point is they were upset that Brad Pitt kind of took Norman under his wing and the eggs which he was saving went to Norman and the women. Food was scarce and they probably haven’t eaten eggs in months so they felt betrayed by the symbolic gift of eggs. There’s also a deleted scene where Brad Pitt talks about his brother who is also named Norman. This could explain why he was so fond of Norman right away.

“He wasn’t wrong though, he said she was gonna have one great love in her life” Too soon bro 😂

Germans were called krauts because of the sour kraut they ate. The British were called limeies because of the British Navy's reputation for eating limes (to prevent scurvy) in years gone by, and the French were frogs because of their cuisine. The Italians were sometimes referred to as dagos, and I don't have a clue why.

Time for Hacksaw Ridge.

American Sherman Tanks were not designed to be the best and most protective. They were designed to be mass produced. While a German Tiger tank with a veteran crew could take on 3 Shermans in a fight and have a good chance at winning, American tanks often outnumbered them 4 or 5 Shermans to 1 Tiger. Very good movie!

Jon Bernthal is good in everything too

I'm still waitin' for J to get around to Band of Brothers.

Loved the reaction! Idk if you would ever consider it but there was a war series that came out in 2001 called Band of Brothers. It's one season long and each episode is between 1-2 hours long, it is one of the best war series I've ever seen and the cast is STACKED with big names. I highly recommend you watch react to it, it will entertain you and emotionally wreck you. Much love!

Watching movies with you JL has become a highlight of my week

They did win, they held the crossroads.

"Oh we dying today boys!" This entire movie 😢

You are so right in your assessment that FURY is the polar opposite of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN but I don't think you've had enough time to fully understand why. In SPR Spielberg's intention was to champion the idea that compromising one's integrity is justifiable even laudible in times of war. And he used the character Upham to make this point. He is a shavetail who tries throughout to abide by the moral rules of engagement but eventually gives in as is demonstrated by his shooting the unarmed German soldier at the end of the movie. The message being, this is the way you properly fight in a war if you want to win. In Fury however you have the character Norman, who eventually evolves into a good soldier without compromising his integrity. And in the end the others actually acknowledge this showing admiration for him for his convictions. They also acknoweldge how tainted they've become. So in choosing to stay on in the suicide mission each is seemingly redeemed by their martyrdom. Norman, of course, has no need for redemption and the script demonstrates this by making him the sole survivor. This is not the way things really go in life, of course. Who lives and who dies has very little to do with who we are. But like SPR it is a work of fiction created to make these points. Now these underlying themes didn't jump out at me the first time I watched these movies, anymore than they did with you. But in rewatching them a few times via these reaction videos I've come to realize the two movies are both very religious, one theme being heinous, the other commendable. And when you said that you would watch FURY again (but not SPR) it suggests to me that you intuitively recognize this too And to make it clearer, HACKSAW RIDGE is another recent war film that flies in the face of Spielberg's theology. But unlike FURY its pro-morality message is not nearly as subtle.

Yes, “Kraut” is a reference to sauerkraut. Yes, it is being used as a slur. If you can’t use slurs against Nazis, what’s the point in even having the ability to speak?

I saw Fury a few years ago and thought it dark but legitimately good for its topic. Seeing it even in pieces it seems a better film than I remembered. Kudos to the director, supporting cast, and everybody else.

5:15 Shia acts his ass off every scene 😩🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

Terrific film. One of the greatest WWII films ever made. For a fun WWII movie watch Kelly’s Hero’s starring Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Don Sutherland and many more. Super entertaining.

I'm an old Cold War era Tanker, but I can say this film captures the ethos of a Tanker. We're taught to conserve our assets, yet we're hardwired to die in place if need be. We know we're going to draw ALL the fire. We have two speeds, full out and dead stop. "The Tanker's Creed---That dusty, crusty, grease covered, dirty, sweaty, bright eyed, fuzzy faced, haircut needing, beer drinking, underrated, overworked, under paid, over sexed, little ****, who can take a tank and do more battlefield damage in ten minutes than a grunt squad can do all day!"

8:43 I thought you were gonna say "That's the same MFer that played that British dude in The Patriot." but then I searched your channel and see you haven't reacted to that film. If you haven't see The Patriot you must add it to your list. Historically inaccurate but a very entertaining film.

55 million people died in WW2.

My grandpa drove a tank in ww2.I never got to know him or hear any of his story's. He died before I got to know him

I appreciate you very much and teaching the harder, less traveled. I appreciate the context, a d the amount respect and reverse that every soldier earned! Mad Respect, My Good Sir!!

BIBLE is such a cool nickname for a soldier, imo.. def' my favorite character in this one. Shia just kills it in the role 😊 (I love this movie ♥ just a wartime vignette of a remarkable, li'l tank squad that could. I'll never forget it,)

One of my favorites for sure. As always fantastic reaction and great editing on the part of Blank.

I love Shia as Bible. The emotions he conveys on just his face alone during the breakfast scene. truly makes me think he and his squad have seen and done terrible things for the sake of peace. Great actor and great film ❤

Watch this in theaters. Was thrilling and remember being very sombre for a few days afterwards. Hits you like tank round in the heart. Exceptional acting by the whole cast.

Anti tank mines won’t be set off by people only vehicles. The S mine (bouncing Betty) was the fav antipersonnel mine.

During the whole movie. The dead were left behind bc the war needed fought. In the end it happened to our main characters

I was an armor crewman [tanker dawg] for 11 years. All your complaints and assessments of tank life are pretty accurate.

Your pups are already worried...awe.❤

Heartbreak Ridge / Hacksaw Ridge are two more war movies that you should check out.

I love the closing shot of the movie. It’s a cross surrounded by corpses with the tank at the center. Like how Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross, the tank crew sacrificed themselves to protect the field hospital. The Germans were on their way to attack a weak point on the American lines. It has layers of symbolism.

War is HELL! No one wants to go to war however it is oftentimes the only way to regain peace. I am grateful to every soldier who has served past, present and future!

Thank you for reminding me that I forgot to watch this film (took two nights, but I did it!) And, now.. on to the reaction. Cheers, y'all.

This is hands down the best shia labeouf performance

a mine capable of damaging a tank will generally not get triggered just by a man standing on it .. its an anti vehicle mine and needs like a ton of weight to fire off

Ryan had an emotional component to the characters that Fury didn't but there were more than a few similarities in the characters.

Movies like this break my heart, thinking of what real people went through. I also care about animals used in war...what's said in this film about horses only scratches the surface. There's a beautiful "Animals In War" memorial in London that I wish more people were aware of. It depicts carved silhouettes of horses, dogs, mules, all manner of animals & the inscription reads: "This monument is dedicated to all the animals that served & died alongside British & Allied forces in wars & campaigns throughout time." Below that it says: "They had no choice." Anyone interested should Google it, see photos of it & read about it. Anyone who researches the subject in general will be surprised at the sheer numbers of animals that died & the many ways in which they did, especially in World War I & World War II. It's upsetting but people need to know more so that they won't be forgotten. 💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙🌿💙

24:40 "WHHOOOOO SHIT!" could be the most authentic reaction I've ever seen.

The reason they’d ride outside when not in battle is because those tanks got hotter than hell and the engine noise was louder inside, you didn’t really wanna stay in one unless you had to be

This movie was based on the real story that's why it so good plus the amazing actors, and to really understand why the other guys get angry at Norman and that main leader is because those guys have been with that main leader through France and other countries and all over the world fighting Germans for years with that Gunner that died and was replaced by Norman when that happens all of the man from the tank are dealing with it and when the other men see Norman and the leader having this dinner by themselves and they get upset because they were not invited because the main leader understands that this is not a place for them because they are damaged and that is why they act so rude during the dinner it's actually a very complicated scene played out very well.

Thank God for our trained wolves that guard our doors from the other wolves out there.

Sauerkraut is German for "sour cabbage", it didn't originate in Germany but is a favorable food source there. "Kraut" is pretty much a slur for Germans.

Been looking forward to this for a couple days now. Can’t wait!

Another good one!! ** Yeah it’s me the OG Regan but I had to switch up my pic to my real face and act like I have some sense for a few days while I’m trying to do something. Back to The Exorcist soon enough!

love this movie and love your reaction and i gave a like in every vidoe before i watch sending love from cairo

I may not watch all your videos but I do like 👍🏼 all of them… who’m I kidding… I watched all of them

Great reaction J Man 🙌. Showed my pop's this show and he said this was the best WWII movie he'd seen since Saving Private Ryan.

Man I love this movie.

Best job I ever had!

the director had the 5 lead actors box eachother to form the strong bond that they would need for this movie, the only rule was dont hit Brad Pitt too hard in the face, I think it worked brilliantly you could feel their chemistry

The german Tiger tank totally outmatched any of the tanks that the allies had. It was built around the famous 88mm anti-aircraft gun that originally was used to defend against high altitude bombers. (Turned out it could destroy tanks too, from miles away) The Tiger was a huge lumbering beast with armor so thick that ordinary tank shells would just bounce off it. When first encountered, the allies truly didn't know what to do with it. It had a huge psychological impact. Yeah, yeah it is Iconic and there's a lot of myth building around it. In the end, it was too expensive and time-consuming to build, it required lots of special parts, there was always a shortage of fuel for them, they were too heavy for bridges. The debate goes on and on, but it won't change the fact that it is an awesome machine of war. There is only one running Tiger left in the world. Tiger 131, captured by the British army in north Africa, after a freak shell hit had made the turret get stuck. Put on public display as a trophy in London, when the war was far from over. 131 is owned and cared for by Bovington tank museum in the UK. It is one of the world's most coveted veteran veichles. A priceless piece of military history, and they for real lent it out to film this movie. That's the real thing right there. No model, no plywood mockup, no CGI. 40-something tonnes of steel and a 80 year old V12 engine that was struggling with all that load when it was brand new.

Don spared Emma from the wrath of the rest of the crew lol. She got the best outcome, in that given moment.

There is no room for error in combat, that young FNG is getting some valuable lessons

My favorite war movie! "On the way"!!

There were many names for Germans for both WW1 and WW2, Kraut, Hun, Bosch, Fritz, Jerry, to name a few.

Bible's line, a switch of words he says "here am I, send me" instead of here i am. That line stuck with me

So glad ur watching this. U dodged that first tank shot perfectly

Yes they are saying krauts and it is an official slur. Sauerkraut is very popular in Germany lol.

Love this movie. Also, this is my new favorite reaction channel.

they got mad at norman and sarge for chasing the impossible dream of a norma life, buried deep in the shit as they were. They resented him for trying to escape their reality, even for a short while, because they needed him to be strong for them. he was the rock on which they leaned whenever their faith in themselves started faltering. so to see him try to play family, in the middle of a war, with what is supposed to be the enemy, was a massive blow to them. and any mine powerful enough to damage the tracks is an antitank mine. humans are not heavy enough to trigger them, if I remember right

SPR was about the nobility of man amongst the horrors of war. Fury reminds us of the horror in the human heart amongst the nobility of purpose.

We need a nice warm fluffy movie after this

You need to review “WE WERE SOLDIERS” with MEL GIBSON.

Great reaction JL. I really enjoyed that one.

I can't say with any certainty but I think that when he locked himself in there with the two women, he was trying to create a moment of normalcy with the home cooked meal with eggs, the companionship (however brief) with the women and washing his face and the shave. You know they're not showering or shaving for days, maybe even weeks at a time. Sometimes a man can get so dirty out there he don't even feel human anymore. He feels more like an animal.

War stories are great: as they approach the ultimate savagery and destruction, they expose they greatness of man in extremity.

Love your reactions ❤🙌🏼👏🏼

Thank you brother for reaction... This... This its no, movie, this its and was reallity

Definitely recommend “Beneath Hill 60” - about the Australian troops back in World War One if you’re interested in watching more war movies. Boy in the striped pyjamas & Defiance are excellent movies portraying a different side of WWII. Love your reactions as always friend! Much love and respect from Australia x

In some deleted scenes, you find out Big Daddy (Brad) had a younger brother that was killed in a DUI accident caused by Brad's character. The burns on his back were caused by his truck catching on fire. You later find out that his little brothers name was Norman. Big Daddy was showing preference to Norman out of love for his lost brother with the german womens and the eggs meal. The crew were pissed because of all they had been and they had been left out over a new guy.

It's called war! Can you feeeel it?!?!

Believe it or not, haha, you’re precisely correct, Americans called Germans “Krauts” because they ate sauerkraut lol. And if it’s a slur, don’t worry, they’re just Germans.

Murder Inc. was the enforcers for the mob. Lol ja rule 😅

I loved your reaction. I still cry and cried watching your reaction. This is as deep as it gets with the dirtiness and what it comes down to. I laughed so hard when you talked about nuts the size of your dog. I noticed it in a different reaction, but it made me laugh. Your dogs are the shit and they are so polite and ask politely for attention. You’re right about the cog in the machine, you’re just here. You were a realist and you’re right that if they had more ammo, they would have killed everyone. This is a blend of different war heroes, and Audie Murphy Lafayette Pool. They were the legit hard asses. There’s more back story to Brad Pitt’s character and he’s burned up because of being responsible for another man’s death and getting burned in the car accident. He’s a hard ass, but a loving leader, and put everyone before himself and just tried to hold on. There’s a lot of bars/lines in this movie that are wisdom, but the one that hits me the hardest is “Wait till you see it. What one man can do to another.” That’s what war truly is, and it’s atrocious and terrible, but reality (everyone hates it). You gained a new subscriber and I love how genuine your reactions are. Keep it up.

"You feel it? That's called war." That line kinda pulls the whole movie together thematically. The whole dinner scene is weirdly out of place in this movie, like the war is completely forgotten, and I think that's the point. What is war? Imagine a peaceful living room full of good food and beautiful women, music and culture, people who care about each other and have futures they want to work towards. Then drop a bomb in the middle of that room. You can't fix the building, can't revive the people, can't ever go back, everything that was good is gone in an instant and can't ever come back. The feeling of loss so intense it doesn't even make sense. That's war. They do it to you so you do it to them on and on and on going back forever.

The thing about the tank that they use that cannon could actually penetrate the armor of a tiger from the front.

Great insightful reaction.

The Only thing that pissed me off in this movie, was the quickness in which/where they killed that "Officer" outside The Townhall. They understandably killed him because of what he did to The Villagers who refused to fight.. but I honestly think they got The Wrong Guy. In my honest opinion.. the dude that approach them, IS The One in charge of That Unit. In Civilian Clothes. That dude who got shot is probably just some poor schmuck that was ordered to put on The Uniform. It's why you should always learn The Language of Those who you are fighting with, in order to properly communicate.

Great Movie and Reaction !!! Keep it Up !! Detroit Strong !!!

the happy ending is the final scene of the cross roads,the tank and all the dead around it.
