As an old school drill sgt. I absolutely loved this movie! Total nonsense, but I laughed so hard I thought I'd cause myself an injury! Now, I'm going to break out my DVD of this great film, have a few PBR's, and laugh myself to the point of tears!😂
@@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.😏
As someone with the best memories of basic and my Drills. This movie is largely responsible for my enlistment. And Drill Sgt. Jacobs did not disappoint! And thank you Drill Sgt!
You have a total goofball like Bill Murray, comedy guys like Harold Ramis and John Candy, and they turn this wild hilarious scene into a respectable performance. Of course they're not real soldiers and I'm in no way saying they represent the military, but these guys are all from the comedy world and they did a pretty darn good job of practicing the moves to pull this routine off. Great job for unstructured and undisciplined funny guys!
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.
Good old feel good comedy. "Blown up, SIR!" is the part that always gets me. It's gritty response and absolutely true in the context of the movie. Serves as a additional morale booster as the army is a dangerous place, but the old guard understands and value this fact also as a training tool. It all just adds up to the badassery and compliance of being a soldier. Sometimes your sergeants get blown up. LOL
at a hsitorical re-enactment a couple of years ago I was caught in an explosion because of an idiot, As i lay on the gorund getting first aid and wondering how bad it was I heard an officer asking "where's your sgt men?" and some idiot actually said "blown up sir!" As I lay there all i could think is 'my god my life's a bill murray movie'
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
Bill Murray, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Sean Young, Judge Reinhold, John Larroquette, John Diehl, and Dave Thomas with small roles for Timothy Busfield and Bill Paxton. So many future 80's stars. Whoever cast this movie was a genius!
These are WWll Training barracks in the scene. I remember them well as I stayed in them for 3 months back in 1982. I enjoy this scene even today! Airborne Air Assault Artillerymen Army 🪖. 1982 - 2003 Pull String make Gun go "Boom".....😏😎🤐
@@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!"* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Having been in the army and knowing protocol, I was flabbergasted when they came marching out not all in uniform, one wearing a red headband some shirts unbuttoned, and Murray flopping around like he was half drunk. Then they started the routine and I was laughing my ass off. They actually did pretty good.
Classic movie. My father is an army veteran and actually met bill Murray while they were filming this in Kentucky. He was at the on base eye doctor when bill came in. Apparently just about everyone there BUT my dad knew who bill was. Anyways my dad was getting the test done where they blow air into your eye and bill started making fun of him when he saw him jump backwards. So my dad invited bill to try it for himself and after he also flinched he gave my dad an autograph that my family has kept ever since. “Terry Johnson stay out of Kentucky!” 😂
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 🤔
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 🥸
We loved this movie so much. I was 10, and my brother was 8. Never should’ve been watching it in the first place, but those were the early days of HBO. 😂🤣
My Dad was stationed on Ft. Knox when this movie was being filmed. I remember him coming home and saying that he was trying to be one of the actual soldiers that are in the background.
I loved being an army brat. My dad got stationed to different posts during his career and so we got to see a lot of the United States and even spent a tour of duty in Japan. For a teenager it was great fun living on base. I have a very fond memories of those years. I have to admit, though I think it was hard on my mom as she had to pack up all us kids and the dog as we went from post to post.
The opening scene‘s were filmed in downtown Louisville KY. That’s the Ohio river he’s dropping his car keys into. Army barracks scenes were filmed at FT. Knox KY. They still have a couple of the old barracks outside the General Patton museum (which is at FT Knox). My late father is one of the extras in the downtown scenes. Cheers
This scene was shot on our actual drill pad at Ft Knox. Our barracks were the ones behind the General's/ spectators stand. Went through basic training there in 81.
I've been watching this movie and scene for 43 yrs., and just now I accurately heard their last line: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs. It is a sentence I learned in typing class 40 yrs. ago, because it has every letter in the alphabet. Random.
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.
Love Stripes and Ghostbusters , terrific flicks . Murray and the cast of both are untouchable. But it’s getting to be that they’re on every week . Could use a break from them to appreciate them more . Hey , how bout Blue Thunder ?
An absolutely impossible incident but these actors have obviously been through training to achieve this. Any member of the armed forces knows thst the standards of drill shown here are not just done in 10 minutes orca late night.
Even though his part was brief, I liked seeing the late Joe Flaherty in it. My parents were SNL and SCTV fans, so this movie was definitely one that we would laugh over.

Back when they made great movies this was one of them.
and that's a fact Jack!
I was a Sophomore in highschool & in the Army JROTC Boys Drill Team that year & did added that drill into our exercise. Imagine that.🇺🇸
super cool, man
I remember the Queen Anne Salute from my Army JROTC Girl's Drill Team back in 1984 or 1985.
Bet you had fun!
Still laugh at this scene. Murray was, and still is, an absolute nutcase. “Blown up, sir!”
You left of the "h" in "blown up".

Murray is memorably silly in this scene. These actors obviously worked hard on the drill. They were awesome.
❤this film forever
This was one of your better military documentaries to come out of Hollywood.

Yup old fort knox
My Dad was a tanker and we were stationed there when the movie was filmed.
any folks out there disliking this: "lighten up, francis"
I think the whole world uses that saying
You should've said Psycho
Remember when movies used to make you feel good
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.
❤❤❤

It’s not Italian. He says “Battalion” because it’s an Army movie.

THAT'S A FACT JACK. GREAT LINE.
Legendary actor Robert Wilke as the general.
I had forgotten how funny this was. It was just too funny
This was one of the Best Army Training Movies Ever!!
😂
Memories. Saw this my first year in.
We loved this movie so much. I was 10, and my brother was 8. Never should’ve been watching it in the first place, but those were the early days of HBO. 😂🤣
I love how Louise and Stella immediately just totally get it and love it.
“That’s the fact Jack!” Only Bill has the balls 🏀 to say that to a colonel.
This show was GREAT! Laughed throughout the show and that was BEFORE I made the doob disappear!
My Dad was stationed on Ft. Knox when this movie was being filmed. I remember him coming home and saying that he was trying to be one of the actual soldiers that are in the background.
That Louis Oxberger is one lean mean fighting machine
Fantastic..No words to describe. Only seeing thousand times.Forever
Salute to all Veterans!!!
I was in Paris Island for boot camp, they made me sing the Miami Dolphins fight song over and over again till i cried 😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮
BLOWN Up Sir
Sir, this is One of Sargent Hulka's Men

They can't make The movies, and songs better than those of the past that's a fact jack😂
Bill Murray at his best. Simply classic.
I marched on the same grounds this clip was done, in army in 1978. Fort Knox Kentucky.
I really liked this scene from the Stripes I really enjoy watching this scene.....I own the dvd in home it's one of my favorite collections
One of my favorite movies!
AAaaaAAAArmy Training Sir!
So many young stars in this movie!😁😉
Blown up, sir 2:43
Best schene in the movie it gives me goosebumps ❤

Stripes is such a good movie
They were actually pretty damn synchronized after watching closer
They subbed in real soldiers
How many takes???
My favourite scene.😂😂😂Classic!❤
😂 has to be the best part of the movie 😂
Stripes was a great movie, it was very entertaining for sure!!!
A true classic!!!
While realistically they would have been thrown in the brig, everyone loves the scruffy rag-tag fighters who don't play by the rules.
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.
Attention Pete!! We need this Troop in DC
Locked and loaded with comedy heavy-weights.
Love Stripes and Ghostbusters , terrific flicks . Murray and the cast of both are untouchable.
But it’s getting to be that they’re on every week . Could use a break from them to appreciate them more .

Stripes and Cady shack are classics
And that's a fact jack!! lol

I've watched this movie in Tubi free and the movie I really liked it and I'm planning to get a DVD of this movie
Loved it
The beginning (the song Bill was singing)- was he ad-libbing that? I've never heard that song but if it exists, I'll buy it. 😂
If this movie could be a little better if Murray's and Ramis's two buddies are here Mr Arkroyde and Mr Husdon....and this movie makes me to miss them
In this movie P.J. Soles and Sean Young looked so good in those uniforms, and they looked even better without them. 😉
AMEN, BROTHER!!!
Best "military" movie EEEEEVER.
Could you imagine if this in basic training today . That would be freaking hilarious. Only in the Army
Just like last night only better😂😂😂😂
Goal for 2024 is to watch all of bill Murray’s movies before December
"Arrrrrrrmy training sir"
2:15 I can’t even hold in my laugh
My favorite scene
I love it when the blonde got the Aunt Jemima treatment on the stove. That was funny & sexy at the same time. I love this movie.
The taxi driver and his best friend are so funny 😂😅😊
My dad loved this scene. I think of him now whenever I see it..
Absolute Stellar Cast!!
That was excellent!!
A classic scene that has to point out when someone talks about the funniest moments of 80s comedy
Is that Captain Dan Fielding up there on the review stand?
Yes, not long after his tour with the Black Sheep Squadron in the south Pacific.
"Just like last night, only better!"
Damn I miss the 80s

Great movie, great scene😂
Blooooown up, Sir!!!

Like I said before I really enjoy watching this scene whenever I watch the dvd I have in home
Love this movie.
