"REAPER 1" - Military Action Short Film 

you should watch escape from tarkov also

Yes sir

Felt like Arma 3 to me lol

thank you for your service

Love you and respect you from INDIA Sir

Thanks for noticing these details in the sound design! It took lots of work to have it come to life and it's great to hear that the hard work was noticed!

YES! This was EXEMPLARY!!

Empty Can Films wow this short is Hollywood big screen material!! How can you do these FX on a RU-vid budget? Great actors and camera work, obviously not amateur stuff. I subscribed and hit the bell and liked!!! Make more please!!!!!

Why didn't the pilot re-arm himself immediately after being rescued? Surely, there were no shortage of weapons on the ground after the Special Operations guys wasted the enemy soilders? "I would've been like I'm taking this AK-47 here and three or four spare magazines. And where's my fuckin' pistol?"

I hate that pilot.

Your nbr 5 is kicks me in. He is the mission, they wouldnt let him run injured 25 miles away from the battle ground.

@@commandericeman8588 Precisely what I'd do.

Dude didn't give up his sidearm it was taken. Are you implying that he would have used that pistol against multiple targets with AKs in real life scenario versus giving it up ?

Yeah I feel like they all just use the sound from Goldeneye on N64.

Those sounds are from lone survivor when marcus shoots the guy and they get in a gun fight so hollywood cant get it right 🤔

they can't ...cause most of people are not like you and me I mean they don't know how the real sound of a suppressed rifle sounds like ... simply they would think it's not suppressed !

moonlight too

Thats about all they got right

Thanks for the support on our channel but more importantly, thanks for your 23 years of service!

Thanks for your kind and encouraging words! That truly means a lot to us. We are glad the ending had the intended effect on you that we had hoped it would on the viewers! Thanks for the support!

But the pilot wasnt attached to his parachute??

I sense it ground reality, damn . That feeling .

wavygr Those are old films

wavygr all those movies were full length big budget projects that made millions of dollars! You just watch this terrific short for free on RU-vid!!!!!! Get it??????

That's because Hollywood has an agenda and only wants to remake old ideas and films and haven't had an original idea in at least 30 years.

thanks for the kind words John! We are glad you enjoyed the film.

Exactly what i was thinking. It's rare where they make suppressed weapons sound somewhat realistic

SuperLastboyscout thanks for the comment and support! That’s definitely the angle we were going for!

@@EmptyCanFilms Did they just not wear body armor or something? Special Ops personnel are issued some very very tough plates.

@@KoishiVibin Not many plates hold up to 7.62x39 at that range. Also, specops plates aren't any better than ones issued to reg force.

@@shade9272 caveats: 4 year old opinion that said... 7,62x39mm is a pretty weaksauce threat. there are a LOT of hard armor inserts that defeat it quite comfortably. special forces have had fairly lightweight armor systems that perform to a very high standard. One instance is the case of Mike Day, Navy Seal, whose MH3 CQB apparently defeated some 11 hits during a breach. there's also a couple procurement programs for some really high spec armor that I remember. Nothing *insane* but they do provide pretty worldbeating performance at their weightpoint.

Thanks

Semper Fi, Brother! Stay strong!

The only few things I found unrealistic, was that the RPG explosion would have been MUCH bigger. The frag explosion was bigger than the RPG. And I felt the frag explosion was too colorful. But I loved the tracers and the callouts. Very good work indeed!

Thanks for sharing as a civilian I will never have to know because of your sacrifice and the fallen. I found it was very realistic ,amazing short film

75th Regiment 2Btln Rangers, brother! 👍 Fallujah 2004. Silver Star recipient for saving 3 SEALS. HUU AA!

Haha That film was Definitely an inspiration for us!

Actully,very similar to the actual o'grady incident... good flik,,very realistic,almost too real... nice job

Triune Blades thanks for your feedback and support! The specifics you called out were both fair and appreciated. We are very glad you noticed the attention to detail in the production as we put a ton of energy towards just that. We are glad you enjoyed the film!

Patriotism is great but should be tempered with realism. I’m sure there’s a bunch oF Russians who would say the same thing. Fact is that the USA is a fine country with many, many fine people but it’s deeply flawed and blind patriotism and the inability to see the views of others made it so.

@@theofarmmanager267 I respect your opinion and under the 1A you’re absolutely entitled to it. I differ with you however, I believe while we are a flawed country we are the best. By this I mean yes, we are an imperfect country, but there is no “perfect country or unflawed” country. Every nation has its problems past and present. My patriotism is not blind, but tempered in history and the realization that there other countries other than ours that have greater flaws . The word flaws can mean different things and to each individual, it means different things. I submit to you if you go to any other country and speak out against the government, some of those countries won’t take you lightly. I believe that the US is the greatest experiment in human history. Thankfully, I can express these ideas in public.

@@chadmccormick1412 I’d certainly agree that no country is perfect; with many countries being much nearer a disgrace - to their own citizens and other countries. However, what I think many people find disturbing is the perceived arrogance and hypocrisy. America felt justified in invading Iraq, Afghanistan and even Grenada because it apparently felt it’s power was/would be compromised whilst Russia gets (rightly) condemned by other countries and America for its action in invading Ukraine. Arrogance by a superpower seems almost inevitable - Great Britain had it in spades when it fought its way to the British Empire - but that doesn’t make it wrong to condemn it. I’d suggest most Europeans are more socialist (in the non- political definition) in their views on helping the less fortunate; there seems to me (as someone who has visited many times and worked for a spell over there) an attitude to the poorest that those unfortunates have to make opportunities work. I just don’t think any country could or should claim being the greatest whilst it has such a high percentage of economically-defined poor and the largest (as a % of population) number of people in jail.

William Shinault thanks for your support! Glad you enjoyed the film

Empty Can Films thanks for the kind words, keep them short films coming!

take best ever ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8nC4sfNN5ak.html

Only thing is that Hollywood would eff it up by adding a woman lead with lgbqt members and etc. :(

What happened to RED the AMBUSH. Is it pulled?

@@DwayneDeveaux1204 Yes unfortunately RU-vid decided to block it worldwide. :(

@@EmptyCanFilms Man that what the best short on youtube. Is there anything the fans can do. Love that man. Is it posted anywhere else?

Also you guys accept donations?

@@DwayneDeveaux1204 Hi Dwayne. Believe it or not, this film was made possible because of donations from our fans. Their names appear in the credits at the end as "producers" and "special thanks" sections. If you want more info, you can email us at emptycanfilms@gmail.com. Thanks for your interest!

colby phelps thanks for your kind words! We are so glad you enjoyed the film!

George Mcmillan thanks for the kind words and support. Some of our cast were true combat veterans, as well as our military advisor. We appreciate their expertise as well! Thanks for the comment and view!

i have seen them, but look at the dates on those movies. hollywood is just producing shit now. also you left out tora tora tora and in harms way among others.

i wouldn't call dunkirk a good movie. hollywood doesn't care about making good movies. they would be happy remaking spiderman for the 4th or 5th time with the latest new hearth throb for teenie boppers. and to mention deadwood, great show, yet again it shows that hollywood is a bunch of idiots to cancel it.

Great to hear! That was our biggest hope!

LOL I caught that too. It would make a great movie

CCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words and for the support! Much appreciated!

Voo Doo1 great info! Really shows how easily a pilot could be displaced and lost in enemy territory
