Genuinely he's like the Second guy I think of right after Major Ducos himself as one of the best Sharpe Villains. Hakeswill and Ducos hold a joint number one spot for me.
I just wanna say that whoever made the uniforms, shakos, etc did a very bloody good job. Loup's Cavalry and infantry had nice uniforms too, I wonder if any real historic French units had similar uniforms?
Not to my knowledge. Loup's brigade uniform are a mix between various type of unit that doesn't really hold any real historical value. All of them wear seems to be wearing grey trouser and grey dolmen.The only distinction is between cavalrymen, which wear a helmet and a pelisse, while infantrymen wear a shako with wolf fur on it. The dolman, to my knowledge, in the Napoleonic French army, was only worn by the hussard and some chasseur à cheval unit. No infantry unit wore it. The grey dolman, trouser and pelisse, more specifically, was an ensemble worn by the 3rd hussard, which was mainly deployed in Spain when the event of Sharpe are depicted. The helmet, however, is wrong. The helmet was worn mainly by heavy cavalry unit, like the carabiniers and cuirassiers. The line cavalry, mostly the dragoon but also a few lancer unit, also wore it. Then of course, all the wolf pelt and fur on the uniform is just fantasy. No Brigade, in the French army, would have had it's own uniform, let alone a wolf themed one. While the historical inaccuracy is undeniable, it trully cement the Wolf brigade as this fierce fighting force that is not the usual French force someone like Calvet or Ducos would command. So it does a fantastic job from a narrative perspective.
Loup cared for his men in the same way Sharpe did. He also likely rose through the ranks, as the Grand Armee was built on merit, not wealth like the British. He would have no doubt shared the same hardships and loss as his soldiers.
Loup was a superior swordsman to Sharpe even if Sharpe wasn't injured.... unfortunately he also insisted on posturing giving Sharpe time to plan a sneaky final strike.
Have you watched Waterloo? It’s a movie that you can watch for free on UA-cam, it’s about Napoleons return to France and the Battle of Waterloo! 10/10 I would recommend!
Wearing a wolf-skin coat and hat during the peak of Spanish Summer? That's soldiering.
That's his style, sir!

What makes a perfect soldier?
The ability to wear a wolf-skin coat no matter the weather.
@@shaunbeauchamp6537
True.
I guess they made up their own uniforms. Hussar uniforms with Dragoon helmets. Yes during the hot Spanish sun they could have worn less.
Brigadier General Guy Loup looks really cool and menacing with his blind eye. Awesome villain.
The time of the week when I get a notification for an extended Sharpe clip.
That's Sundaying
I always thought that Oliver Cotton did a fantastic job as Loup. For me, he is one of the most memorable villains from Sharpe.
Genuinely he's like the Second guy I think of right after Major Ducos himself as one of the best Sharpe Villains. Hakeswill and Ducos hold a joint number one spot for me.
He's the French version of Sharpe himself.
Sharpe having to give lessons in soldiering to Lord Kiely and his brigade.

Some of them came with the Russian film company who supplied the stuntmen.
They told him he had to be good, bloody good.

@@johnwotek3816 Great comment.
_"You have killed me, sir."_ 😭
I Wish there were more Sharpe Episodes..
Bear skins in summer, thats my style, sir!
arent they wolf skins
Perkins' death was one of the most upsetting moments of the show.
Indeed, right up there with the duel between brothers in the first episode.

Playing dead to fool your enemy, that’s possuming. 16:58
The famous " Green Jackets".
There seems to be a strange time travelling individual at 10:07 XD
Oh, thats just Jerry. He does that sometimes.
Sharpe's Battle loved both novel and film adaptation 👍👍👏👏
It’s funny tho, because it was the British army itself that set fire upon spanish towns and industries in the Spanish war of independence.
War is the war crime, no country involved ever has clean hands.
@@dr.strangelove6118 Quit deflecting the point you pitiful golem.
Even in this war they sacked several cities of both Spanish and Portuguese occupied by the French with intense savagery, both being allies.
8:52 LEEEEEROOYYYYYYYY!!!
Sharpe's men put the mangy curs down in good order!
How many times is Sharpe gonna fight in that fort/walled village. They did alot for such a tight budget.
Heating an alloy of copper, silver, or antimony to a temperature above 190°C to use as a bonding agent between two metals...... Now that's soldering!
guys i just watched sharpe and before that hornblower. Loved both. Does anyone know of similiar series/movies?
Do you recommend Hornblower?
I've just finished my third Sharpe rewatch and the books.
*Master & Commander: the far side of the world* 🙂
@@henryredcoat3522I certainly recommend it, as would Drachinifel.
@@henryredcoat3522Yeah it’s like Sharpe but Naval. Really good I watched it like 2 years ago and finished Sharpe last week.

Rules of War
Name movie
Winning a sword fight when your hand is wounded? That's soldiering.
What happend to that baby at the start?
Fiercest foe my ass.....that was Pierre ducos
Ducos was more slimy rather than fierce.
@@TheCormTube Ducos was a sneaky, devious B******d. Fiercest foe id have to say was colonel phillipe leroux.
Loup was a good villain, but not as good as Colonel Brand
Film anti français
even though i love Sharpe, british made historical shows always have a degree of propaganda to it. its simply business as usual.
