Great film. You'll never know unless you were actually there, but from what I have read about Vietnam I think This film captures the blood, guts and sheer futility of that war very accurately, perhaps better than any other Vietnam War movie ever made. This scene was brilliant - those beautiful Huey's with the unmistakable snarl of their turbines and distinctive chopping rotor sound, the gut wrenching fear and tension on the faces of the GI's who know they are heading into the jaws of hell, all to the backdrop of that iconic Vietnam era anthem from the Animals, a song that ironically enough was banned from air play on the Armed Forces Vietnam radio network.
I remember cycling to school and in the distance hearing a Huey flying towards me, I think it was during a training with a lot of NATO troops. Anyway, this sound is overwhelming and magic. ‘ 30 years ago, but still remember. When I was in Capetown South Africa, I took the combat flight tour in one of the Hueys that served in the movie “ Apocalypse Now”. Best tging I did. I was sitting on the side with my legs hanging out and w were flying so f@cking fast and low.
Did this enough times to get an Air Medal. Would have preferred to NOT get my Purple Heart. Read the Pentagon Papers. There was never a chance of "winning" this conflict. I was there. 9th Infantry Division, 1968-69
Mr. Long, that hill was secured by the greatest men to walk the earth on the date of 20May69, my bad, the Gentleman on this blog has it from date to date sir.
I'm ready for both of my knees to be replaced and probably my left hip also that I still blame on jumping out of those fucking helos carrying all that shit on my back.
This was one the last major battles of the war, US, Australia and its allies started to slowly pull troops out around this time, leaving most large operations to the ARVN and CIDG troops. In fact, what this movie doesn't show is that the ARVN were the ones who actually took the hill. What did you mean by war of attrition, can you phrase the question better? The main goals of the US and allies from the beginning to the end was to win the hearts and minds of the South Vietnamese populace, and prevent the Vietcong from influencing them. To fight the NVA in traditional warfare, to deny the enemy supply routes and to prevent the Vietcong from holding any territory.
The ARVNs did not take the hill. Where are you getting that information? They were to the northwest to block the NVA retreat. If you want to read a factual book read, The Crouching Beast by Frank Boccia, a real hero. He was the Platoon Leader of B Co, 3/187 that fought its way to the top.
Creek, the United States and allies had won the war for the populated areas. Greatly. After one Heavy B52 bombing run against North Vietnam, the North asked for mercy at the Paris Peace conference. The South Vietnamese had been told for years the Americans and allies were going leave. The S was made ready. And the S held up fairly for a few years. The demon o crats in Washington refused to send the agreed-upon replacement supplies to the S in 1975. Please research it. Today these demon o crats are far worse. Deuteronomy 28 applies.
1950년 한국전쟁에도 쓰이던 수송헬기 60년대 베트남전쟁에서 맹활약하면서 개발을 거듭했다. 그래서 지금은 공격헬기에 까지 이르렀다. 지상작전에서 헬기없는 현대 전쟁은 생각조차 할 수 없을 정도로 헬기는 군 작전능력에서 필수다. 그런데 어째서 한국군과 국방부와 방위산업체들은 헬기 개발을 하지 않고 있었던가? 수리온 마린온 성능에서 너무나 많은 문제가 있어서 그 심각성은 그치지 않고 계속제기되었다. 결국 엘리트 해병대원의 목숨만 앗아가는 허망한 짓을 확인화게 되었다. 왜 한국군은 좋은 성능의 헬기를 갖지 못하였는가 왜 허구헌날 미제 헬기만 사들여야 하고 미국이 던져주는 것만 쳐다봐야 하는 신세가 되었는가 따져보니까 우리가 자초한 것이더라. 다 결국은 우리가 그런 결정을 한 것이었다. 미제무기 수입국 세계1위도 결국은 우리 손으로 결정한 것이었다. 일본보다 30년 이상 뒤쳐진 신세가 된 것도 따지고 보면 다 우리 군과 군수뇌부와 국방부와 청와대가 그런 결정을 한 것이었다.

Vietnam war was something correct to wage on from the perspective of contemporary geopolitical realities; President Johnson was correct, Secretary McNamara was correct. Fullstop.
The war was a complete waste of human lives and money. McNamara knew this in an early stage, it is well documented (today!). There was nothing correct about it, except for the people making money out of it, the cigar smoking directors in the board rooms of the miliary-industrial complex. That is also why El BJ lied continuously about it to the American people. Worst politics of the USA ever, although they repeated it partly in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Mark, be assured fear is real enough in any war. But the acting and overdoing it of these actors was just that- overdoing it. Ya actually get somewhat used to it. If this movie was instead real footage, those guys were all on their first time out. Fear wasn't shown to that extent, nor did fear rule anything. This is more of a commie propaganda attempt. But ya, fear existed. It's wearysome with so many reports leading people to believe Americans are frightful. Just the opposite. I'm not including the actions of the top decision makers.
A GLITCH BIG TIME. The choppers have Four (4) rotor wings. The M 16's hasn't the ring for mussel flash. Their narrowed. The chopper rotor wing. Should Only Be Two (2). In that exact day and time. AND The Wopp Wopp was LOUDER. Just some saying.
This song is a true classic Goes well with what the Grunts felt at heart Who ever linked this With incoming choppers In 69 ahsaw Valley 101st Airborn is a genius For me Epick band Epick song

Thank you SIR for your service! I’m sorry for how you got treated on return home.
0:41 two AH1 cobra fly above the LZ,such an intesresting detail..
Damn good actors in this movie too
Good film sad to see good men died in this movie
Baddest Helo scene....... Love the Music....
Brings back memories
I liked how the Huey’s never actually touched down.. nice attention to detail… highly underrated Vietnam war film
Love this film. I am a Vietnam War reenactor and our unit focuses on this battle. Deep respect to every man who fought on that hill
How does someone get into doing that?
At 0:41 if you look close you see two AH-1J Seacobras!! This is the only Vietnam war movie that used that type.
Nice touch with Doc having the plastic covering his barrel until it was time to use it.
Best Vietnam movie of all time..
Omg
The Bible says there will be scorpions with wings and faces of men
The days they used real choppers etc, and no CGI bullshit....
I agree

You don't win wars with body counts, you win them with strategy. There was little strategy in Vietnam.
No because of Congress and politics they lost the war best strategy was founding top gun in Vietnam
You are 100 percent correct sir.

Fantastic scene
That is what Angels wings sound like..from a Marine Infantry Officer, thank you.

Nothing like the sound of a Huey!
Bubba Sizemore yep its own sound. Can hear it miles away.
Totally agree.
I used to serve in UH-1 airport.
Without that engine sound I even couldn't fall asleep.
Yes there is... the sound of lots of Hueys 😁
Bubba Sizemore nn
When the slicks descend, they did smoke just right.
Anyone know the name of the song?
Asmr for Rambo.
what was the actual date/dates for this battle please ?
May 10-20 1969. My reenactment group portrays the men of Alpha Co 1/506 PIR, 101st Abn

I respect Vietnam vets even though I m British
Why british did not fight in nam??

@@markcollins9903 I'm a war vet, but not a Vietnam vet, thank you sir for support them with I.
Best Vietnam movie of all time!!
Idk? Platoon was #1, Full metal jacket #2 & this is #3 for Vietnam era films.
It is the best, no question. Hamburger Hill numbah one. The rest numbah ten.... Thousand. Yes, ten thousand. Heh heh.
Movie name please.
Hamburger hill , 1987
Hamburger hill 1987
Hill 875?
Hill 937, Ap Bia Mountain, A Shau Valley. Hill 875 was in Dak To.
By far the best Vietnam movie ever made!! So damn real!!
"We're going back in."
did the war pretty much become a war of attrition at this point in 69? Or was it always like that?

It was always like that. Attrition was Gen. Westmoreland’s idea and it was a horrible one.
Wow,remember the days, going to hot spot and smoking a j can you dig it...
Slicks! That is what my brother flew, Crew-chief/Door-gunner. He was in the Mekong Delta with the Soldiers up to their arm pits in water.
God will take me to heaven in a Huey

We're not misunderstood by The Animals.
1:00 I remember I had this movie on a 'prized' VHS! It was / is a classic! IMHO
Great scene from a good movie.
Ye it was in Antipolo Rizal, Philippines.
I could tell it's a movie right away.
The sound of huey blades. The chopper pilots are above the best! Door gunner also.

1950년 한국전쟁에도 쓰이던 수송헬기 60년대 베트남전쟁에서 맹활약하면서 개발을 거듭했다. 그래서 지금은 공격헬기에 까지 이르렀다. 지상작전에서 헬기없는 현대 전쟁은 생각조차 할 수 없을 정도로 헬기는 군 작전능력에서 필수다. 그런데 어째서 한국군과 국방부와 방위산업체들은 헬기 개발을 하지 않고 있었던가? 수리온 마린온 성능에서 너무나 많은 문제가 있어서 그 심각성은 그치지 않고 계속제기되었다. 결국 엘리트 해병대원의 목숨만 앗아가는 허망한 짓을 확인화게 되었다. 왜 한국군은 좋은 성능의 헬기를 갖지 못하였는가 왜 허구헌날 미제 헬기만 사들여야 하고 미국이 던져주는 것만 쳐다봐야 하는 신세가 되었는가 따져보니까 우리가 자초한 것이더라. 다 결국은 우리가 그런 결정을 한 것이었다. 미제무기 수입국 세계1위도 결국은 우리 손으로 결정한 것이었다. 일본보다 30년 이상 뒤쳐진 신세가 된 것도 따지고 보면 다 우리 군과 군수뇌부와 국방부와 청와대가 그런 결정을 한 것이었다.
I knew a Vietnam vet that said the only thing about this movie that resembled the real war was the prostitute scene.
Different service members had different experiences
What was with all the towels ?
I got a chance to fly in a Huey at Fort Irwin California, February, 1984 . I was in the 4th Aviation Battalion. It was cool . I got an Army Achievement medal for NTC training at Fort Irwin
