Razzle Dazzle Scene | Stripes (1981) | Now Playing 

super cool, man

I remember the Queen Anne Salute from my Army JROTC Girl's Drill Team back in 1984 or 1985.

DATS A FACT, JACK! 😆

Sorry that happened to you, but DAMN THAT'S FUNNY! 😂

Ba , army training Sir

I also reenact and have heard stories of such accidents, just glad to hear you got out of it alright. At the same time, you really were in the perfect situation for that line to be said, lol

THIS IS THE GREATEST COMMENT I'VE EVER READ!

I miss those days.

Can't remember the last time I saw this movie. . . Too long !

Now they make me feel awful. I'm a tired old, bitter man.

I'm sure you the occasional Bill Murray type, thank you for turning them into leaders who could look out for their guys

@@BHRamsay Now and then there'd be a real comical recruit. I'd actually set 'em up for a chance to get off a funny line. Once the platoon quit laughing, I'd invite the funny guy to lead the platoon in a three mile run, or doing push-ups until they all dropped. The platoon members would do my work for me by getting the funnyman off to the side and tell him to shut up or they'd make him regret it. It was conformity by peers, and quite an effective tool to create a unit that works together for a common goal. The class clown of high school grew into understanding how to be a soldier, and and would often excel in training. There is no way to get a square peg to fit a round hole. Trying to pound it in with a hammer breaks the peg. But with motivation by other pegs, they all fit in the holes they need to be in. That's how you create a team.😏

@@anangryrangerbut do you have them say “army training sir!”

❤this film forever

I think the whole world uses that saying

You should've said Psycho

Those who weren’t cast members were actually the Ft Knox drill team. The U.S. Army, Human Resources Command HQ IS now built on that site and there is a plaque in the quad, dedicated to that drill ceremony.

They must have put in so many hours practicing, I think one of the best parts of the military in general is the drill team's the do such an awesome job.

I only really know Ramis from Ghostbusters and it's REAL sequel, but Candy was actually something more of an actor. He could BE funny very well, he was IN a lot of comedies-- but he played fairly grounded characters you might've actually even really known-- not a typical comedian-- and was really known as kind of the "heart" of things. If white dudes had a "soul brotha", that guy was John Candy.

@@DanMurdock-w5o That is so awesome!

You left of the "h" in "blown up".

PJ Soles slip your mind?

@@Rockhound6165That would explain Dennis Quaid in the audience at graduation.

Hey they got the Ghost Busters to train together...

Spent my last two years as a grunt at Ft Polk, but started off basic and infantry school at Ft Benning in the old barracks. Good memories come back when I see this. I stayed in newer buildings at Polk.

@@rexoates4484 I was at South Fort….what we called the Main PX became the post lawn and garden center…Our barracks were on that parking lot…I went back in the late 90’s to visit a bro-in-law and found the spot our barracks were on that lot…the oak tree by our supply room was still there but all the old stuff was gone 🤔

My best friend lives in Rosepine, not far from there

This was filmed at Knox….same buildings as Polk in those days…I went back to Polk a few years ago..all gone now..replaced with newer buildings in a different pattern….Saw a tree I remembered 🥸

Yup old fort knox

My Dad was a tanker and we were stationed there when the movie was filmed.

It’s not Italian. He says “Battalion” because it’s an Army movie. Gentlemen! It’s party time! Battalion style!!

​@@LazloSoot-s1n ✔️"Italiano" nei sottotitoli, sento anche "Italiano."👂🤌

​@@RobertCarnevale-qr5ey in the original scene direct from the movie itself, which I own by the way, it is "battalion" style not "Italian" style... Everyone know that subtitles are only accurate about 80% of the time, and if your hearing is that bad that you heard italian not battalion then you need to either get your ears cleaned out or checked out

@@josephalonzo1059Try again? Look at the size of a battalion vs. the size of a platoon. Now, they are in a platoon, headed for Italy....if you can't reason that out, you may get your brain checked. ⏳ In the interim between my reply and this edit, have you fact-checked me about squad, platoon, company, and battalion numbers? So in the movie an entire battalion was sent to Italy for the special training, is that what you're saying? ⏳⏳ In the 2nd interim between edits, did you think about the highest commanding officer who went to Italy, wasn't it Capt. Stillman/J. Larroquette? Was he in charge of the Company in _Stripes_ (you tell me, since btw you own the movie lol)? Seriously, help us out here - he wasn't a Lt. Colonel - they command Battalions....I _checked_ into that too...it wouldn't be _"battalion style"_ for a Lt. Colonel of a Battalion to go on a mission, and forget to bring his battalion ("Whoopsie!!"). But no Lt. Colonel made that embarrassing error in the movie because: there was no Lt. Col. in Italy, and, no battalion in Italy. The Platoon, though: they sure travelled around in style, huh? Italian style, I'd say. 😆 ⌛ _What happened to @joseph?_ *"He got 'blown-up,' SIR!"* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They subbed in real soldiers

How many takes???

The great thing, like a certain group I led that we play by the rules, as we translate them. There are three groups. The wrong way, the right way and for us the Navy way - plus the Navy way as met the occasion.

Loved it

AMEN, BROTHER!!!

Yup. Several on RU-vid

I went to Great Lakes, Navy Basic in '83 but I sooooo wanted us to do a stick like this one. Good times the 80s.
