Every deleted scene I've watched for this movie made it better. I don't know who got a hold of this for the final cut, this explains so much about the movie.
kreg bear because the lighting is off for the cuts, the acting is amateur while paired with the almost "ghost writer" out of character dialogue, the interaction itself doesn't feel organic but rather forced into your face to squeeze emotion out of the viewer in an attempt to feel more dramatic when the lead dies, and a conversation between them like this doesn't fit into the movies tone what so ever.
This is actually true for me, I have two friends I have known since I was 6 years old (I'm 18 now) but when I turned 14 my fam moved to a different city and hour away. I still kept in touch with them, making it a tradition that we meet once a year during the holiday for a few days. Last year for his birthday his parents took us plus maybe 10 other teens to a hotel that had a famous waterpark. On the third night the group hopped on the bus to go from the arcade to the hotel rooms but my two closest friends and I walked back and during that 20 minute talk I had the deepest conversation of my life.
This actually makes a person understand why he was so eager the hold the crossroad. He had nothing to live for, he killed his fiancee and his brother. Enough to lose your will to live. Why would anybody sane delete this scene?
i think this form of respite was also dragged out much longer than the rest of the scenes, it just didn’t flow well with the pacing and overall structure
"The judge told me to go die for my country...The best advice I ever got." Christ that's one of the most powerful lines I've heard in any movie...period
This scene gives some context to when he says the tank is his home, he means it's the only home he has left and he refuses to abandon it. He also didn't explicitly want to die, he just, didn't care if he did.
That was my thinking. It explains why they deleted it at least, but I wish they kept something in about his backstory. It explains his motives quite a bit more.
@@NoName-fx9zi tbh, after I saw these deleted scenes I was impressed by the editing that made me think he did a good job. (Not bad by any means but no Brad Pitt as Wardaddy)
"Your a strange one norman my brothers name was norman" that line ties it all together and the reason why he didnt want norman in his crew and doesnt want him to die at the end
Probably filmed it with the idea of having "death" be a soldier or something like that. Glad they cut that, but sad to see Don's character's backstory be cut with it
The backstory about the drunk driving accident and Norman being the same name as Sergeant Collier's brother makes sense... they could have done without Norman's out-of-place dialogue and still revealed that.
Why, oh, why they deleted THIS scene?! It changes EVERYTHING! Wardaddy is not some superhero who got his burned back in a fight against a Tiger or a Paner, but because of some stupid accident which, actually, was his fault. He is just a guy from America, who was sent to the war by a judge's order. Which makes him even a bigger hero. Whoever decided to delete this dialog is a complete moron!
Yurishch I completely agree with him, sum ppl want their lives ended with sum dignity, even with all their faults, even if they had a chance to end it. . . . Sum ppl are terrified and even called " coward or pussy way out" but it's there way out and if they want it. Who's to say other wise?????
Well if you have adeath wish you are not much of a hero. Willing to stay and fight till the end if you have something to live for thats what makes a hero. Keeping this scene would make no snese for final last stand.
I’m not a fan of the Norman dialogue but I agree with you on Wardaddy’s they should of left it in. The Concentration camp thing I feel could fit in the movie well somewhere but I’m not sure if it’s here.
Man. This scene is fantastically well acted by Pitt, the mannerisms and him choking holding back his emotions is beautifully done. But while appreciating how well this scene is done, I can understand why they left it out of the movie. I think the bond the crew eventually reached was more impactful due to the lack of words spoken to each other. It made more sense for the time, tough up and shut up. So it made those moments like the breakfast scene with the two german women far more impactful, when you see the crew is obviously a shell of their former selves.
@@danwilliams1920 I don't think an opinion can be wrong, your free to think it fits in the film. I just don't, It doesn't add much if anything. In fact (IMO) it actually takes away from the film. It forces a story to build upon character traits that were fine as is. You don't NEED to know why Pitts character doesn't want to come back from the war, and this story is a forced way of giving you that explanation. And in all honesty it's just too on the nose, it feels like something that was written specifically to make his final choice make more sense, but all it ends up doing is taking away from the characters and making it feel more cheap.
@@EboyNxtDoor I agree & it’s a little out of the genre & too convenient. The scene gives drama and fantasy almost if you understand what I mean, while the movie is supposed to be realistic. Also I think it absolutely changes the message of the story. Before you get the theme of duty and bravery but with the cut scene you start to think it was guilt and desperation for redemption driving him to stay and fight.
Likely cut for pacing. They created a bit too much space in this scene. While it's interesting for character development, both Sgt. Collier and Norman get plenty of that while advancing the story, making this a prime scene to cut. In my opinion, anyway. Take that for what it's worth.
Let's get this straight. Don was from southern Oklahoma and had a girlfriend and a brother who were named Rose and Norman. The three were at a dance one night and Don got drunk and fought a native American descent. After police showed up, they fled and Don wrecked the car that they were in, killing both Rose and Norman. He was then arrested for manslaughter. The judge sent him into the army as punishment instead of prison believing that we would die in the war. Don met Bible, Coonass, Gordo, and Red at tank school and would later become friends and leader of their Sherman M4. At some point in Kasserine Pass, Don pooped his pants after there tank was first knocked out, according to Coonass. The crew was then reassigned to a newer M4A3E8 which was better at tank combat. They named it, 'Fury'. After landing at Normandy, they witnessed the aftermath of D-Day. Before advancing further into France, the army bombed and fired artillery on the Germans. When they moved, they came across open fields of dying horses from the artillery. They shot the horses dead in response. Gordo said that the horses sounded like children screaming. In 1945, after being a sole surviving tank of a battle, Fury's radio turret battery was broken and Red was killed in action which broke moral of the crew. Even when Norman was introduced as a new gunner. To sum it up, this is why his crew is battle hardened and he rides them. He hates the Nazis because they are killers who fail to learn the mistake he made. He shows some level of guilt and is very disgusted with himself. But he put the evil inside him to good use.
No one knows they are gonna die, he didn't know they were gonna die, watch the film he tells them to go and head for a treeline to be safe. But his crew step up to show that they won't leave him to die alone. That't not a selfish leader but a dedicated crew
He knew it was one tank vs a whole SS division. He knew they weren't going to make it out alive and he knew his crew couldn't abandon him. He put the lives of his men at stake because he wanted to go down fighting himself. That's selfish.
2:29 A heart breaking moment seeing Wardaddy trying to hold his emotions inside. It is guilt that drives him in the war, not patriotism or bravery his crew would have thought.
@@7.62x51mm The Easy Eight, like all the M4A3 versions, was powered by a 32-valve, four-camshaft, twin-spark, 1100 cubic inch all-aluminum flatplane V8 putting out 500 horsepower. You better believe that thing roars.
Because it completely contradicts Norman's character and makes him a mutant who can tell the future and compel others to reveal personal details. Stupid scene.
Jeff II You can easily leave that Norman part out. The Rose story looks edited and ready to go but appears to be left out at the last minute to cut on runtime.
Because the continuity of this scene is possibly the worst I've ever witnessed, the background keeps changing from forest to field and back each time they cut from Norman to Don
The editor really fucked this movie up. If they'd left this scene and the scene with Grady losing it before the final battle, and the film would have had a point. Brad Pitt in the final cut is a John Wayne hero. These scenes show he's dead inside, allowing him to convince his men to follow him to certain death.
I hate to bring back a six year old post but he's neither a hero nor dead inside. He's a hurting, broken man who hates himself and does both right and wrong things for right and wrong reasons
Norman wanted to know, but he didn’t realize he was gonna hear a story about Wardaddy accidentally murdering his little brother and the woman he loved.
Said he had a gift ,he knew things before they happened . Why didn't he tell Pitt when he started talking I already know cause I knew you were gonna say it . And why didn't he tell them "I really think we should give that crossroads a miss ? In other words Norm like all Norman's is full of shit
"ideals are peaceful , history is violent". i love this movie because it acknowledges the worst of humanity in WAR, even on the allies side that the "good guys" committed atrocities
This scene was shit and sees Norman, not only be the most improbable coincidence(same name and attitude as WarDaddy's brother), and display an arrogance that he shows nowhere else in the movie, but as a fortune-telling mutant that has the latent ability to compel strangers to tell their darkest secrets and personal stories. This was one of the most jarring deleted scenes and I'm so glad it wasn't in the movie. It doesn't explain any of the movie except for a single scene, in which we see Don's back. This scene and the scene at the end where WarDaddy and Norman are the last ones alive can't possibly exist in the same movie and it be good. Awful scene cut by smart editors.
I agree with @JeffII but with a little less ..disdain? :) It's actually got some great acting by Pitt when he describes the wreck....but the passage where Norman claims to be a clairvoyant is lame. I guarantee they cut it more to remove Norman's lines than Collier's backstory.
SafenKD I wrote several paragraphs, but since you can't formulate the beginning or the end of a sentence, I can understand how daunting a task reading multiple paragraphs is for you. Your sentence in unintelligible, but if your point is, "Well it's the plot of the movie," I agree. However, this scene is *_not_* part of the movie. It was cut. So, thanks for making my point for me. ;)
@@woodjamin LMAO you came back 2 months later with a slightly different username to say that? Take your own advice. It's just some comments. Let it go.
No body at this point (Normandy to early 1945) would've had the same crew since 1942. The scarring may've been from a pre war incident, but the grim statistics and training SOP would've scattered these veterans to other units by then, maybe in 2nd armor, but not in the same tank, FFS
The Rose part is a tragedy that it got cut but I understand the reason for the second half with Norman. It doesn't fit his character at all and it almost jumps the shark with the entire movie. They should have just left Brad Pitt's part in though.
If you've seen "a river runs through it", the back story seems to be a calling to that movie. The timeline of when he was younger, perfectly matches too
Yeah, in a movie like this with a director like Tarantino he'll have to many great scenes to be able to fit into the movie. Now with a movie like the last Jedi however, I can think of a large number of scenes that should've been deleted.
I kind of get this one, Norman's psychic powers aside as good a backstory as this is I kind of prefer him as a normal guy not someone that in a way actually wants to be there and to die.
Bro everytime I've seen the deleted scenes it makes the movie better. When norman asks Gordo how it feels to kill it adds to the story. When boyd rants about other soldiers dying in front him to top it adds to the story. Now this. Bro i'm mad every deleted scene wouldve added to it
Reminds me of Saving Private Ryan and the dialogue scenes between the soldiers. When Uppam became very friendly with a German, then grows the balls to finally kill him at the end.
My great grandfather fought in Germany during WW2. They were in a village when they were then attacked by some Germans. They even had tanks. At the end of the battle my grandfather wasn't to be seen. They then found a scrap of his helmet with his initials on it. They then wrote home explaining how he was apparently hit my a tank...he had a week left of service.
They should have kept the Rose scene in the movie. It would have made the scene where War Daddy says "This is my home," way more impactful. Whoever decided to cut this the Rose scene really screwed the movie over.
I disagree. This scene was shit and sees Norman, not only be the most improbable coincidence(same name and attitude as WarDaddy's brother), and display an arrogance that he shows nowhere else in the movie, but as a fortune-telling mutant that has the latent ability to compel strangers to tell their darkest secrets and personal stories. This was one of the most jarring deleted scenes and I'm so glad it wasn't in the movie. It doesn't explain any of the movie except for a single scene, in which we see Don's back. This scene and the scene at the end where WarDaddy and Norman are the last ones alive can't possibly exist in the same movie and it be good. Awful scene cut by smart editors.
I think nearly every part of this scene, bar Norman's out of character stance in regards his clairvoyance, or whatever it is, could have been kept. Maybe don't keep the fact that they're both called Norman also. The rest sets the stage for the ending pretty good in my opinion.
I think this scene was one that was recorded in two separate places because the actors were not on the same set. At 00.50 you don't see the two in the same frame. Also, the sun and shadows are on the opposite sides if each actor's faces. This scene also explains many things in the movie that were left out of the original. At least they included the outtakes with the movie. The acting in this scene was awesome especially of the "kid". However, the lighting sequences on the faces were completely off. Anybody who studied photography 101 can tell the sunlight on the faces is out of sequence and on the wrong sides of the faces of each actor. I think the scene is excellent, but maybe the director was afraid the lighting was so obvious that he had to exclude the cut from the film. Of course, they could have "re-shot" the scene, but for whatever reason, they kept the film on the editor's cutting floor.
Heartbreaking. Ive watched this movie many times. To me, had it been left in, it would have been the most moving scene of the movie. It shows, perhaps better than any war movie I have ever seen, how so many brave young men had become resigned to their inevitable fate. Yet, knowing this, still carried out their duty as soldiers. Often times...for reasons they could barely understand. Bravery... no doubt. But I believe that often time, a brave act is not anticipated. This scene showed us what it was like to display bravery in the face of future, inevitable death . I feel this scene went far beyond just simple bravery. Yet despicably, these brave men and women are the ones who still fight and die in our Nation's Wars only to be thrown into its trash heap.
Man, what an important scene. If they cut it due to time constraints they could of cut it at 3:15 and we'd all understand and feel why he chose to do what he did. Which is to die in his "home" because he has nowhere else to go!
They should of left the part in where he talks about his haunting mistake that led to him joining the Army. It develops and explains SSG Collier’s character pretty good. Now you know why he feels dead on the inside with no reason to live or have a fear of death. Most normal Soldiers attempt to survive even if their dedicated to duty.
I watched a river runs through it for the first time and the links to this movie seem like more than coincidence. The timeline matches, his brother Norman, the Indian he fought may have been related to the girl he dated, his drinking problem..etc
I can understand cutting the second bit, turning Norman into some spiritual phrophet is a bit dumb, but they should’ve kept don’s story and him saying his brother’s name was Norman, because it explains why he didn’t want Norman to be in his tank, because if he died he’d feel like it was his fault and like he’d killed his brother again
This is the second deleted scene that essentially makes the movie make more sense. As to why he does what he does at the end. Between the last one I watched where he says "home? What would I do at home?" and now this story about killing his love. It explains why he wanted to die in his tank at the end. I originally thought it was just jingoistic American propaganda about how tough our soldiers were, but there was a real, emotional point to it.
I know they wanted to make the movie more direct and within a reasonable time frame, but wow! These deleted scenes give it more depth and character context. I wish I could find a version of the film with all these scenes included.
the pause after he mentions what happened to rose is so well done by brad pitt, you can tell the charcter is playing out exactly the scene in his head because of his PTSD.
The reason Brad Pitt's character's hair stays so perfect in this movie is becuase there's probably so much grease and sweat in there he could make a mohawk if he wanted to lmao
Keep all of this apart from Normans comments, it makes him appear too meta or hardened than he should've been. Other than that, this would've strengthened the movie
It's was always dumbfounding to me . While in service how we've always treated a new member to a squad/fire team. They'd have to die or nearly die to get respected.
There are 2 reasons why they hate new recruits. 1. They think the new guys can get them killed in the field and so on of many mistakes. 2. They dont wanna be so close to them because they could possibly think that they wont Last very long.
I loved this scene, apart from the ...call??? bit??? "I see things, people tell me things, you're going to die very soon". That just took away the whole realistic effect of the film, made it seem like a fantasy xD or something.
I'm not a Superstitious person, however, the whole Caul myth seems to have some truth to it. And plus those are just regular people. They might believe things, just like you and I.
It could also be a feeling that you can't explain and I believe in it because the night my grandpa left I told him not to go because I had a weird feeling and then he ends up dead in a car crash so something like that is quite possible even in war
They should have kept this scene. The nugget of gold that is historically accurate especially back in that time depending on age and the crime you committed, was being given the option to either go to jail or go to war. This line about being given the option of “go to war or go to jail” are sung in the Marching cadences used in Recruit Training Commands in our branches of armed services.
I watched the movie, and while it was well-made and I’m glad I watched it, I’m sorry this scene - even a shortened scene - wasn’t in the movie. All by itself it adds a depth that the movie IMO lacked. I’ve only just discovered the deleted scenes; now I’m going to watch them all, and rewatch Fury with them in mind. Thanks for the chance to do that.
Sophia Hunt Come on it wasn't that bad. It was rather good actually, if you don't mind the historical inaccuracies other people have been crying about.
627283 8383 it wasn't *bad* but these scenes show us what it COULD have been, and would have made it a much more iconic film. Instead they cut it for who-knows-Why and we the viewer are left with an incomplete understanding of the vision This one scene alone makes the movie make sense. Without it, it's just "why?"
kregmaffews Well I guess you're right but I was replying to your original comment. This movie certainly wasn't American patriotic bs. I didn't actually see patriotism anywhere in the movie. I thought it was more about the soldiers. It was mostly about how they dealt with war. I'm glad they didn't put in the second part of this clip. It was really out of character for Norman. I think they should've put Brad Pitt's back story but I think they wanted to make him a more conventional heroic character and didn't want people to think that he was forced to go to war but volunteered.
yeah it would of been an interesting movie, but i did like the more action packed final cut. I think it would of been more like a saving private ryan saga style movie if they left everything in
They removed the feelings of every man and boy who went to war, shouldn’t ever have been deleted! No matter the tone the scene it gives a feeling of why some went to war because they had nothing left at home! Editing in this was awful that explained what and why every veteran carried with them, and had to live with it in surviving this horrendous war of good v evil in every part. They thought the demons would die there but they survived and came home for us all to never forget what they did for us all, the greatest generation without doubt!
This (like all the other deleted scenes) is a good scene, it's well written and the acting is amazing. I believe the reason it was cut is because of continuity and authenticity. Norman being the bow gunner would not have been out of his fighting position while Fury was moving
More on Norman being “born in the caul”: sometimes a baby is born with some of the amniotic sac clinging to its head; Cajun folk tradition is that such babies have “the sight”...meaning dreams, visions, ‘knowing things’. Tell kids stuff like that about themselves, true or false, it’s gonna change how they look at things...and people *do* in fact tell such kids things they don’t tell others. Like Norman said, it’d happened before. It’s WHY he said “you don’t have to tell me this”: a car accident would have answered the question, but Norman was told much more than that. Saying that told WD that Norman understood how deep that came from. That’s what makes the scene. Cut it there
Ah I appreciate that lil tid bit of info helped fill some holes for me damn what a great scene literally every cut scene I've seen makes everything alot better
“My brothers name was Norman”explains why Top treated Norman better than the other 4 without Norman having earned it. He probably saw it as a way to atone for how his brother died. The others were men he had to lead, Norman is a reflection of the innocence of his brother and Top’s life outside of the war. Such a great insight that is pretty crucial to the story. The character work in this film is like no other, makes me cry pretty much every time I watch it.
A director's cut would've been nice. This completely shifts the character. It's better. Why would they HALF show Top's humanity, fear, and regret throughout the film? This shows WHY FURY is his home!!! He has nothing left on Earth. He watched everything he loved crumble before his eyes by his own hands. He is the way he is because he's already dead inside. He has nothing left to lose. It explains why a rough man like him wants to help Norman survive, and even explains the scene with the girls. The second half of this, I understand. Everthing but Top saying his brother's name "was" Norman. That kind of sheds a bit of light on his attitude toward Norm the entire campaign, which otherwise is hard to place.
I come here, on thisvideo, from time to time. Don't ask me why, I just do. Everytime, I swear, this is just another one more, that I watch Wardaddy telling his story to Norman, I automatically get my eyes blurred and I drop a tear. I am no emotional guy. But this movie has marked me for life. May be the soundtrack during this scene and the way he's talking. I did finally understand what war really is when watchi this movie. Now two years have passed since I kept watching this scene on another channel, and it still gets me everytime. I wanted to share.
I'm so glad they deleted this. This dialogue could've easily ruined the movie for me, it forcibly makes one vulnerable and the other a saint. Maybe he could've subtly mentioned Rose but rest of the background is unnecessary, people turn cold in war you don't need any other reason. Also the last dead bodies bit was pretty chilling, that should've been in the movie.
Movie works a lot better without the monologue. Seeing the burn is enough. Implying the family bond works better and without the dialogue the pacing of the relationship works a lot better. Telling Don he will die… nah, good cuts.
This is actually one of the deleted scenes I understand why they cut it. Norman left his character a bit here. Was given too much to say. that’s not to say he’s suppose to be some voiceless wimp, but it’s just out of his already established character to start talking like he’s been on the front for years, and has all this wisdom. It just felt out of place. Brad Pitts character’s story did feel like it was sad to leave that out, but also I think they left it out cuz the writing was too rough. It wasn’t as well put as other dialogue in this film, and was too revealing of his character which is some shrouded mystery. I like WW2 movie writing to be left exactly that. Mysterious. It worked wonders in Saving Private Ryan, and in fact was deeply rooted in some pivotal scenes, like the whole plot of the regiments pool on where the captain was from and who he is. Which they later revealed only to give the perspective on how war has diminished his past to seem so irrelevant.
I'm glad they shot so many scenes that didn't make the cut, and I understand why they were left out. So much material, if this all were made into a novel I'd buy it without hesitation. That's what you get from a novel the won't fit in a movie. And this scene would haunt me. As it should.
I can't believe they didn't add this in the original cut that went to theater's. This was a very emotional development of one of the main characters and they just cut it out like who cares. Really sad because I believe showing Brad Pitt character reason and pain for wanting to be in war would of rationalized his decision to wanna stay and fight the German SS soldiers. It would of given the viewer a more emotional attachment to the characters per say. Also seeing the Concentration Camp victims laying on the ground could of be used to show the rookie why they're fighting and what they're fighting for. Since he was off the desk before he got there he didn't probably know or hear of the Concentration camps, alot of people didn't. Back then we didn't have google lol it was done by clicking a button to send morse code to have the receiver of the clicks to have to translate it. Crazy how much has changed lol
I kind of like how in this deleted scene, the light effects makes Wardaddy more bright, while Norma looks very pale, almost dead in comparason, and since Norman resembles a bit to Wardaddy's brother, it almost seems like he is having a conversation with his dead brother about his mistakes...
So many good reasons to leave this out. Excellent editing. It makes his whole "mmm... that's better than good" line towards the end more substantive. Like opening a window into something we never knew about him. The whole "you're the only one that knows" is just corny and unrealistic. Plus, the whole backstory makes him feel like a cheesy antihero.
Whatever editor or person above them who was pulling the strings on this movie deserves an absolute F grade for the wasted potential. I hope that I can someday find a director's cut or even a fan cut with these never should have been deleted scenes added back in.
Can we please get a version of Fury with the numerous deleted scenes added back in? Every deleted scene from Fury I've watched has been so moving and incredible.
God damn this scene hits. Scenes like this should never have been cut out. This explains so much about Don and why he was so adamant about continuing the fight, even against a battalion of 300 German soldiers. Homie was just trying to off himself for his past mistakes.
I'm glad they kept this out of the movie. The ending where Don reveals his knowledge of scripture to Bible is so powerful and I feel like this would have somehow taken away from it.
US tank doctrine of the time specified that tanks stayed a minimum of 75 yards apart. You wouldn't last long, bunched like this. Guess it was easier to film this way.
Yep, and why not have the 75 gun units flank that tiger and Fury with the 76 go hull down and provide cover fire and smoke. And where were the infantry?
I can see why they cut it. Wardaddy's dialogue was perfect but Norman started to act a little cocky and it took away from his innocence which I liked. I liked that wardaddy was hard on him only because he wants to make him understand war and hate it, but to be brave and not scared. You can see the way he stared at him that he felt for him and sees his innocence slip through the cracks like sand. All the guys cared about him, they were just so broken and wish they can be the kid Norman is again. They actually don't want the kid to see what they've seen, it's all an act. They are emotionally bleeding out and seeing a fresh face kid angers them.
This scene shows two types of heroes. One type fights for change and fix the things of past and made something good in their Lifes. And other fights, because they are righteous.
Powerful scenes. Agree the Wardaddy dialogue changes the view of that character; matter of opinion whether it's better or not. Scene of the Shermans passing the concentration camp corpses should have been left in. Very well done.
