@@dominikhanak297 Oh yeah he did that and more he cut himself up to give himself injuries and fought with crew members he takes method acting to the extreme like Christian Bale and Tom Cruise do.
Micheal Pena learned so much and was such a good tank driver that they fired the original stunt driver for the tank and just let Micheal do the exterior tank driving scenes.
Why is nobody talking about how amazing this mock tank is? I hope it's on display somewhere, because it's really a unique piece of film history. I would really like to know where it is today.
My father in law was with Patton's Army in Belgium . His vehicle was hit with either an towed 88' or a PAK artillery piece. He was the only survivor, and lived until 1989 with terrible scars both mentally and physically. We owe them everything for what Freedom we've had up to this point in time.
Nope. That generation was duped into an unnecessary war (regime change) just as we were after 9/11. The Germans didn't want a war, and didn't start that war. The Aliied leaders did the bidding of the Int'l banking establishment, to remove possible competition.
My grandfather was a Sherman tank gunner under General Patton's command from Tunisia to the battle of the Bulge. He came home but didn't last long. He died from alcoholism in his 50s. This generation needs to be reminded of these brave deeds and sacrifices.
This is all genius production techniques. You don’t realise the amount of time and effort that went into this film. It works very well for me. This is the Saving Private Ryan of tank movies.
@@vc6596 battle of the bulge, its an old movie. Uses lots of tanks, not in the right era but who can recover 100s of tigers and Shermans for a 2 hour film
The tiger battle and in the field with the pak guns were extremely unrealistic. Other than that it was pretty spot on. The finale with the SS battalion would have knocked them out much sooner as well.
@@bluejaysfan965 But lets get real, had it been a realistic movie it would be a reallly bad one. They would die and everyone would go like "... was that it?"
As a professional model maker I’m actually amazed by the realism of the set piece. The weathering makes it look so realistic. It has been applied with thought given the impression that paintwork has been chipped and worn away, and there is the buildup of dirt and grime is absolutely beautiful.
I was crew on that movie. 12 weeks on a farm in High Wycombe. We got a few bits of costume uniform to wear on set, it really felt like we were there in 1944. I could get in and out of a tank in 8 seconds. There really is no room to move at all in the actual Sherman.
I saw one of the other behind the scenes videos on 'Fury' and was very impressed with the amount of effort made to costume all the extras in the right clothing. Not only that, the armorers did amazing work to train the extras to operate the weapons they were handling and also to be safe.
I worked on tanks (M1 up to M1A2, M60A3, and M2A2) these bad boys are cramped. I lived and working on them is a complex task. This is why I loved this movie it gave the perspective of a “Tankers” like. Yes I was assigned to the 2AD, Hell on Wheels from 1987-1992 and during Desert Storm thanks for making this movie and telling the story.
Pretty cool how they made a whole tank that they could access any area inside. I spent 4 years on a M551 Sheridan and 3 years on a M60A3. Yes,the tank IS your home. The crew that made this prop and outfitted it is spot on.
I was an M1A1 Abrams tank crewman from 1989 to 1993. Although the Abrams has significantly more interior space than a Sherman (not saying much), it can still get pretty cramped in there. Nothing in the world can prepare you for the seeming chaos of a tank interior during live-fire exercises. But everyone is well-trained and knows his job, and there is order in the appearance of chaos.
Can't tell you how much I appreciate you guys making this movie the way you do "The life inside a tank" . My great uncle served in M4s in WWII and again in Korea. He didn't talk about it very much but seeing this makes me feel closer to him. Thank you that's hard to achieve with a movie.
Former Armored crewman (when the Scout platoon wanted to get rid of me for awhile) here, can only say that the idea was excellent, as was the acting. Well done all around!
every once i a while i go back to watch or listen to the amazing sound track of this movie. To see it still be acknoledge for being a masterpiece makes me so happy and hopefully that future movies will be more geared to show the neaty griddy of war and not the heroic "holllywood" style of war movies we've seen these days
Masterpiece? This is like watching a fantasy film about tanks. Nothing, was remotely realistic about this film. If any tankers from WW2 are even alive today, I bet they would roll thier eyes at this disgrace. This is nothing but a Hollywood style film.
well there you go, I wondered how they managed to film inside such a tight space! The set was so realistic I didn't even think they recreated a fake one
After the landing in Normandy, the allied troops did not meet resistance! There were no significant battles! The Nazis surrendered divisions and corps! The Nazis were not disarmed; the officers were left with personal weapons! Patton wanted to send several German divisions against Russian tanks if they reached the Channel! Berlin was afraid to take Patton cowardly waited for the Red Army to win in Berlin! Russia defeated fascism!
Say all you want about the historical accuracy... this set is amazing and the way fury was made is really cool. I also did enjoy the story and the tank scenes, even if they weren't accurate.
It was wonderful having Tiger 131 in a movie and seeing the care and attention given to protecting her in the behind the scenes videos. The only annoyance is that this scene was unrealistic. Tigers would not move from their hidden position to engage the M4. They'd use the distance and the power of the 8.8cm to finish all the enemy tanks before they could get close enough. They'd also target the M4A3E8 as a priority (identifying the muzzle break) because the 76mm could penetrate a Tiger at longer range than the 75mm.
I hate it when people criticise the movie for not being spacially accurate. These filmmakers spent ages doing the best they could, it's impossible to make it perfectly accurate!
The movie is suppose to be about the crew members and their "brotherhood", so even tho i get a bit triggered with the inaccuracy (especially the Tiger 1 battle) I'd say this movie is one of the greatest tank movies ever.
@@MrSTOUT73 Yeah well, this was a joke of a film. Sure it's a movie not a doc. But Saving private Ryan wasn't a doc either but they hit the realism to a tee. Unlike this garbage.
I knew they made a mock up tank for the interior shots. Just never knew how complex the design for the interior set was. Absolutely incredible work. Love the film.
I was a tank driver in the Canadian Army a decade ago, I loved this movie and how it showed the mania of combat. One mistake, theyre episcopes, not periscopes. And theyre still used.
@@CamAteUrKFC Thanks, now I got one more bit of useless trivia...lol. I can't remember if the M-113's had them, that's the only tracked military vehicle I've ever been it.
Incredible work. Love seeing things like this. I just hope they get put in a warehouse somewhere, it would be a waste to get rid of something like that tank interior set/simulator.
As a Bradley gunner, I appreciated this movie for its tank life… living in and around a tank for days, weeks, months. Very odd way to live, but we grow accustomed to it.
i am 48 and grew up with war movies like Apoclypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon being my fav, and i must say Fury is right up there man, i love this movie.
We had a scrap yard near where we lived wth those tanks . As kids do, we played in them and found tankers helmets and a few small live rounds . I also got one of those Periscope 's. 😄👍🇬🇧
This stuff is really interesting. You watch movies and you just expect stuff to be how it is, easy peasy…. But it’s truly a complicated work of art. There’s tons of engineering that goes into all of this and you’d never expect it if all you do is watch the film. Seeing this definitely makes me respect everyone Involved in the film making process. Doesn’t look easy whatsoever. Takes a massive team to even do one shot. Crazy.
one of the great films!! the camaraderie amongst the guys is second to none. Esp. the scene when the were on top of the tank, just busing ea. other's ballz....lol
I always find interesting that equipment buildings etc are made to look ‘old’ in movies when in fact they were in many cases would’ve in reality looked brand new at the time. I appreciate that’s because the audience’s minds can’t perceive this.
As someone who has actually been inside an M4A2E8(76), trust me when I say it is so much more cramped than the movie makes it look. In the movie it looks big enough to host a dinner party in the turret, in real life it is wildly smaller
Great movie. I thought the interior looked kind of roomy after seeing The Chieftain crawling around hurting himself inside old tanks. So the 110% scale thing makes sense and probably a good idea for the movie set.
I love this video and the information it presents, even though that information is completely irrelevant from the movie. Like just from the clip at 3:15, I was suprised to see that they could take out and replace the periscopes anytime they needed to.
Truth is that Fury being a movie practically made for tank geeks, it doesn't get enough praise from us tankies. Yeah, it has its flaws, yeah, people interested on tank warfare can easily spot many errors or inaccuracies; but whenever you want to show someone close who isn't familiarized with the topic how a tank works, the unusual and uncomfortable living and fighting conditions inside a tank this movie turns out to be a great way to do so in an entertaining manner. Of course, if that close one is able to endure the constant jabbing and nitpicking hehe! Cheers to David Ayer, to the actors and all the people involved in this movie!
Well Ive watched the movie several times always wondering HOW THE HECK did they get a camera in there? Did they use a GoPro or micro camera? Now I know! That set is PERFECT it had me believing they were actually IN 'FURY'. SUPERB FILM, WELL DONE ALL THE ACTORS AND CREW for making a top WW2 movie.👍👍👏👏👏👏
I was the gunner in a AMX-13 but that was lots smaller then this movie Sherman. Driving around through forests with 3 105mm brysant grenates between the legs, 6 in your neck and lots more somewhere in the tank the expectations of the tankcrew in wartime was 3 minutes. 42e ZVE was the reconnaissance group of the 42e tank batallion. We had lots of fun driving around near the East German border in that days, but in wartime it would be a real different story.
