When Rocky and Peacock became friends, it was for life. I still cry, as Rocky cries over his dead friend Peacock. Claude Akins portrayal of Rockey, and Jack Watson's of Peacock are two to remember. That kind of acting is sorely missed.
Amazing movie. Peacocks death and Rockys reaction to it, gets me in the feels every single time
This was band of Brothers stuff and shows what we whom are in uniform are all about. We have a job to do, we may start as opposites, but when push comes to shove, we stand tall together. And we have a bond that never ends.
@@therecanbeonlyonechris5019 I still dont watch that part, even though I love this movie
@@EzraStyles-b6nme neither
The Devil's Brigade, Canadian and American soldiers became the 1st Special Service Force that fought the Germans in WWII. That unit was the predecessor of today 1st Special Forces of which I was a proud member of for 22 years. I received my Canadian Airborne wings on Rogers Drop Zone in Canada in 1984 and I still have them today. I loved every minute of it and enjoyed the friendship with the Canadians and loved their MRE's.
John C. Holmes thank you for your service coming from a Canadian.
@@yellowlightsyndrome9959 I'm Scots peace between our people's Grace to the Canadians!
What base were you on when you jumped with our boys in Canada?
thank you sir
1st Special Forces what? Group or Command.
I did remember talking to one devil's brigade vet. He did say that he a some other guys from the unit were drinking and got into a fight (but not a massive bar brawl). So before the MPs showed up the Americans and Canadians switched uniforms to confuse the cops when they got arrested. He latter explained that it obviously didn't work out in their favour but they were drunk when they came up with the idea.
Great piece of info, thanks! Corroboration of what looked like just plain Hollywood!
I am an ex Canadian Paratrooper and Commando. My Dad was in the Devil's Brigade. As to the question of the French speaking Canadian his shoulder patch says he was from the Royal 22 Regiment [The Vandoos] from the province of Quebec. Damn good soldiers.
Conrad Huhn
Maybe he's from that part of Quebec with Anglo-Canadians.
Why Anglo? His accent is French.
Alex Holt aka 'Brigham Palava' I did not notice it until I rewatched it several times.
D'accord
Yeah - if you watch the whole movie, he was the one "ethnic" guy in the Canadian unit. LOL.
I was in the Army at Ft, Lewis in 1972 when I watched this for the first time. So when the bartender, who is actually Gene Fulmer, punched that guy, the whole audience of soldiers erupted into applause, cheers, and whistles. It was beautiful!
For those that don't know, Gene Fullmer was a pro boxer. He passed away in 2015.
"What burns me, big-mouth, is just who the hell invited you?"
Best line.
Sorry but for me the best line is " home is where the heart is also the liver, splen and most of the lower intestine". Your's is a close second though.
lol
*Canadian Fist* "Consider yourself UNINVITED!" *Bar Fight Happens*
The movie takes a lot of liberties with the real story but it does an excellent job of showing how to get two extremely different groups of extremely different backgrounds to work together as one team. They were so good that the Germans really were afraid of them.
What movie doesn't? Docudramas would be a better description of them. And the Germans were afraid of Canadians already. With a bunch of diverse "Mutt" Americans who have so many talents, traditions, and skills available to the unit?
We are stronger as a group, than we are divided.
Love the Canadian hand to hand instructor. "Marvelous!"
he was also the leader of the BORN LOSERS, motocycle gang. billie jack shot him between the eye balls. hard to believe it is the same guy.. but it is.
And he gets knocked out with one punch lol
Jeremy slate played in the 1969 True Grit, as the man who cut off Dennis Hoppers fingers and Kill him with a knife ...
Jeremy Slate was also in the Elvis films Girls, Girls, Girls and G I Blues
@Flame Resistant Troll yes among others. Even the soap opera One Life to Live . www.imdb.com/name/nm0805177/?ref_=tt_cl_t3
I love the galvanization between Rocky and Peacock. Rocky the brawler wanted a piece of him, but when those loudmouths came in and all over them, and he saw the honor and dignity of Peacock's conduct, he made his choice right there on the spot. Friends to the end.
In the military we can, and will, make fun of and fight amongst ourselves. But woe begot the fool that tries to start with one or the other. We will come together and fight as one.
I think it was more like...Hey. If anyone is going to kick Peacock's butt. It's gonna be me. Not some stranger. So whamo!
And in the end, Peacock died in Rocky's arms.
CLaude Akins great actor!!!
@@bandini22221 and Rocky was crying his eyes out. That’s the way it usually is.
Devil's Brigade as a movie sure brings Canadians and Americans together. Best of all, it brings us closer together than ever, in the same battalion. Love the history behind the regiment, today its CSOR. God bless us all
RIP to all the greats in this movie, especially Claude Atkins, Jack Watson, and Jeremy Slate. They made their characters seem like you were watching history itself, not a movie.
Claude Akins
You're exactly right. Before this movie, I never even knew the Canadians were in WWII. I thought they sat it out like Mexico.
@@bandini22221 this is based on a true story and it was supposed to be a collabration of the Canadians and American Special Forces I have a book that came out not too long ago talking about this special operations during WW2 and how they combated the Nazis during WW2 and I thought that was pretty awesome
You forgot to mention "The Champ" Gene Fulmer. He was the bar tender in this scene.
And the great Don McGowan, a fantastic actor, badass and per his real life daughter, "the greatest dad in the world."
God do I miss these guys.
Brother may fight brother, but Heaven help any one who jumps in...
RIP Salvatore "Sam" Caruso, Sgt US Army WW2, First Special Service Force, one of my childhood mentors.
Stefn Ullarsson that's what I saw too
RIP to my uncle bill sobuliak sgt First special service force I battlion canadian parachute corp..thanks to your mentor and my uncle for serving
One of the greatest bar fight scenes in movie history!!
And Roadhouse.

And I'll take a tough northern Canadian over all the world's SOG groups any day.
Well then son, we must find a good bar to put this theory to the test then, eh?
Side by side, brother. Side by side.
why not a Scottish
Family Ulferts Kilpatrick I'm already Scottish, and the Canadians have beaten us Americans in two wars.
As a dutchy i love seeing the canadians and usa cleaning that bar as they cleaned my country lol
Sorry about der hongerwinter. Really shouldn't have let ourselves get pushed back at Arnhem. Got there in the end though I suppose.
All service men, thank you for your SERVICE!!! God bless you.
This is how a bar brawl is done. Great clip from a great movie.
We were pretty sloppy compared to the Canadians....and besides, they're good soldiers.
Agent Washington Hey, drunken bar brawls is an American tradition.
True, but our troops should've behaved themselves. Good fight though.
+Zach Zier
You gotta be kidding; that's the fakest fight ever.
Zach Zier Definitely a fake looking fight but a lot of fun to watch
Coming from 3 CDO in Canada, I went to the training camp in Helena with one of my 3CDO brothers last year, to get a feel for the amazing history of that Brigade. Sent a chill down my spine to know my unit came from that elite group of soldiers. Very proud.
I would think the Airborne Regiments lineage would have come from the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion?
My favorite part was Gene Fullmer's right hook to the logger's jaw. For those who have forgotten, Gene was the middleweight champion out of Utah (where the movie was filmed). A tidbit about Gene; he fought the great Sugar Ray Robinson 4 times with one being a draw, one where he was knocked out and 2 that he beat Robinson. I don't think anyone else ever beat Robinson twice.
PAUL PENDER DID ALSO
@@joewilly6021 Yes he did, but Robinson was well past his prime and had fought Fullmer a couple times prior to fighting Pender. Earlier in their careers, Fullmer oupointed Pender, though I wish they could have fought one more time after Paul beat Robinson.
I was looking at this shot and I knew that the bartender had to be a boxer. What a great easter-egg!
A classic!!!!!! With a lot of great actors in it.... most definitely one of my favs!!
I'm a proud Canadian and I honestly get irritated at my fellow countrymen bringing up the War of 1812 and using it to antagonize Americans. It serves absolutely no purpose to bring up a war that happened over 200 years ago. The fact of the matter is that America and Canada are each other's closest allies (along with the UK). I think that the success of the Devil's Brigade in WWII is a testament to how effective and downright deadly Canadians and Americans are when they work together against a common enemy. Enough with the "my country's better than your country" nonsense! We're close allies! I've served in the Canadian Forces (Army) and I've met many American Soldiers and Marines. They were always a pleasure to work with, they're tough as nails and they bring a ton of experience and knowledge to the table. Sure, there was always ribbing and teasing between the US and Canadian troops, but it was always good-natured and never mean spirited. The same applies to the Aussies, Royal Marines and British Army troops that I'd met during my service. As much as the US and Canada are different, we're both alike in that we both hate bullies and bad guys and differences aside, we are willing to fight alongside each other with such ferocity that our enemies quake in their boots. If only the US and Canada could put together a unit like the Devil's Brigade for modern times, that unit would be bar-none one of the most feared and effective units on the planet. I'd almost feel sorry for the enemies that would have the misfortune of having to fight against them. It's a given that our countries are different, but when push comes to shove, we'll both gladly fight alongside each other against our enemies.
Granted, Canada as an independent nation did not exist. That said, the same geographic area was certainly 'called' Canada and, by all accounts, it had a very distinct culture (especially given the influence of Quebec) as compared to that of Great Britain. Did it have a distinct 'national' identity? No, but it certainly had a distinct sense of identity, nonetheless. As much as Canada as a nation did not exist, many already took pride in saying they were Canadian - enough pride to volunteer to die defending Canada on the battlefield. Geographic identity? A sense of belonging? Eventually, it becomes just a matter of respecting your roots. It's where you come from. That applies to pretty much any sense of pride in place, regardless of whether said place has a recognized presence on the world stage.
Anyhow, the war was a futile waste of resources. The Americans met not one of the objectives for which they'd gone to war. In fact, a war which they'd began as the invader ended with Canadian militias holding American territory in the North, and U.S. cities suffering punitive raids from the British in the South. The U.S. capacity to wage a continuing offensive effort had been exhausted, especially given that the British had defeated the French in Europe, this freeing them to commit their full force in the Americas had the war continued. In Britain, however, the people were war weary, having already been at war with France since long before 1812. The peace ultimately adopted only reaffirmed the border as it had existed prior to 1812. So, yeah, nothing was gained by the War of 1812. It served only to lay thousands of poor souls in the ground.
Grand Generalissimo Nice and accurate history, Grand.
:-)
BadEnoughDude1 I agree totally with your statement. Being Canadian, and also of serving. I am always impressed by how most of the American troops see us a brothers in arms. Of course there is the kidding, but that is all it is.
+Grand Generalissimo Capturing Canada was *an* objective of the war, but you show your colors openly when you start to claim it was *the* objective. While we wanted Canada, and it was a goal in the war, the main objective of the war was to force Britain to properly recognize our sovereignty and stop infringing on it by restricting our trade and impressing our sailors in direct defiance of the law of the sea as it existed at the time.
We didn't accomplish many of our war objectives in the War of 1812, but we got that one. The British took the hint that we could play rough if they wanted to and we would hang in there and fight if that's the way they wanted to play. This is the reason why both the US and Canada declare victory in the War of 1812 but the British really kind of bury it in history and dismiss it as a historical footnote to the Napoleonic conflict.
And hey, what better time to cement an alliance than after fighting a war that everybody feels like they won?
As I understand it. The US didn't renew the Bank of the United States charter and the overlords got angry and sicked the British on them. They were also fucking with the US trading overseas with Europe / North Africa.
Rocky steps up and gets a handshake from Sgt. Pat O'Neill after dropping a bar bully. A great scene for sure.
The raven-haired beauty with Richard Dawson is Maggie Thrett who portrayed Ruth Bonoventure in the MUDD'S WOMEN episode on the original STAR TREK series.
Thank you so very much for that! I have been wondering about her for years. Another one of" Mudd's Women" was was Susan Denberg who was in the Hammer movie "Frankenstein Created Woman". Were not there some great looking women back then?
INDEED THERE WERE.
They were very classy looking 🌼
@@Davegoode23 yes, but look at what we've got now!
@@ronstreet6706 phony breasts, phony butts. Oh well, things sure do change.
The second logger to come into the bar in the red jacket is Paul Horning, former half back for the Green Bay Packers in the 1950s. The bartender is Gene Fullmer, former middleweight champion!
The first one, in the green jacket, was Don Megowan. It always seemed like when Cheyenne Bodie needed someone to fight one on one, it was either Megowan or Leo Gordon.
I love everything about this film. Especially the cast.
I grew up on Helena, where these guys trained.
Big monument in the city park, commemorating their bravery. Maple Leaf flag & Stars & Stripes flag, side by side.
So realistic it was amazing , how they managed to reenact a bar fight with such realism ? and without serious injury to the actors was a master class in film making ...well done
Well choreographed. They sure danced purty back then.
Reminds me of the time when my Canadian Infantry unit (RCR) along with some Brit soldiers went toe to toe with the "guidos" in Cyrus in 1990. Great memories. We beat them senseless, but we didn't start it.
wish I had been there to see you work em over 👊🏼
Great scene from a great movie! The brawl was so well done by the actors! This fight is a tie for my favorite bar brawl...the brawl in the movie “Shane”!! Another great movie and brawl! Thanks for posting!
Love this film, went to see when I was very young and the martial arts scenes really stuck with me, and kick started my obsession with Karate...
I see what you did there :)
My cousin was a member of the National Ski Patrol in Park City Ut where this scene was shot, He took me and my brother up to watch the shooting, that was a fun night, I remember it didn't didn't make sense at the time but when I saw the movie it all came together, still love this movie.
my dad said when he was a young lad he'd watch the english and canadians fighting in oxford street, long eaton, nottingham. the MP'S would be called and guard both ends of the street and just let them fight. but when the yanks turned up the canucks and brits would unite and fight the yanks together. my dad was born in 1930 so to him, he found this hugely entertaining, and he says at the end of it all, they'd all shake hands and leave as friends, to be repeated the following week. wartime must have been fun back then for the youngsters of Long Eaton, Nottingham.
MP’s would wager $
As a trivia note for all of you old-timers into 1960's NFL Paul Hournig of the Green Packers was in this bar scene, was the 2nd lumberjack that entired the bar.
I thought I recognized Hornung
We always support our Canadian allies.
+Zach together we will always kick ass.
We always support our American allies too. Despite the fact we are often stuck with a Liberal left-wingy government and have a bunch of bleeding hearts. The majority of us Canadians are old stock Conservative patriots. 🇨🇦🇺🇸
As for the liberal left wing. Together we will also kick there ass. North American National security depends on that.
Amen
When they play Hockey like Gordie Howe, sing like Anne Murray, look like Baywatch era Pam Anderson, and tell jokes like Colin Mochrie...Four Votes to The Affirmative! Ain't gonna Blame Canada!😎😂🇺🇸🇨🇦B.W.
My Dad was an original member of the FSSF. He took me to see this movie when I was 12 years old in 1968 and said that this was all BS. He passed away in 1991 sgt D.D. Martin. RIP Dad. I still have his V42 dagger and other mementos that I cherish always.
Trust your Dad. The Americans weren't all foulups and guard house sweepings, the Canadians weren't all Boy Scouts and Frederick wasn't the prick that William Holden made him out to be (in addition to not resembling him in the slightest).
Watched this with my dad when I was a kid, and when the lumberjacks come in, he goes, "Hey there's (Notre Dame/GB Packers great) Paul Hornung!" He recognized a couple of other players doing cameos in this fight scene, but I sure couldn't pick them out.
Thanks for posting!
When Richard Dawson did his move in his kilt, my Scottish mother laughed and commented that that solved that mystery.
Not being "regimental", if challenged he would have had to buy a round! lol
You know, I've been watching this movie about every two years since the late 60s, and I just now noticed the really nice picture, and I mean NICE at 5:02 lol
dang Iv'e seen this movie a dozen times and never noticed, nice catch
Yeah same here. How about that! Lol
Agreed. I too perused and admired. Admittedly, though, I thought you were talking about Newkirk's bloomers. (you never know nowadays:)
@@mkvv5687 So true, sir, so true.
I wish bar brawls were like this.... all judo chops, smiles, and soft beer glasses.
We may hate each other's guts, but the point is that we will always be watching one another's back...
You've never heard of the US and Canada despising eachother? Where have you been? Anti-American sentiment is at an all-time high in my neck of the woods, and I don't really blame them.
That's what happens with family....
We're brothers. Sometimes we say tings we don't mean while we mean things we don't say. brothers do that. Canadians tweak the Americans and Americans tweak the Canadians because there's a mutual respect and we both know the other one can take it and still be friends.
Perfect acting on Claude Akins part, he played it perfectly. I think he was underrated.
I doubt Hollywood writers never been in a fight, one solid punch knocks a man completely out! It cuts them wide open!
Love that the Canadians who in order too not disgrace the uniform (by violating orders) put on the American's vests.
The Americans probably don't have any shame in theirs.
AllRequired
Wow, apply liquid oxygen to burn.
AllRequired
yeah if it's one thing that says american, it's lack of shame and respect for their office.
Ivan Lee Talk about maxing out a loophole. There was clearly nothing in their orders saying they couldn't put on an American jacket.
AllRequired
I think it also was important becasue they were on the American side as well
the old "only I get to hit my brother" fight. love it. US and Canada back to back, always.
LOL yep.... and "Hey you can't pick on him that is my job" feel...
A brilliant old film and one which you can enjoy time and time again. The connection between Rocky and Peacock as they go from enemies to almost brothers is fantastic. Probably one of the best war films made in the 60s.
The only times i have seen a brawl like this is in a bar full of soldiers.
best fights I’ve seen is enlisted men bustin chops : 100% male
@@mda1218 Worked bars for years, my Mrs ran clubs for years in rough areas NEVER seen an enlisted man stand his ground !
When I was in the 82d we had Canadiens and Brits get their American Jump Wings with us....They hung out with us and we drank all night with them, they are Hell raisers just like we were....Love em'!!!!!!
Been years since I last saw this movie. Times change. My first thought was “those are the cleanest lumberjacks I ever saw.”
Am I weird for thinking that this brawl looks like fun and wishes to join in?
im in
I'll join you as well.
I'm with you all! Canadians and Americans were born to fight together!!
kyokogodai Hand me a chair leg, and I'll mop the floor with those thugs !
+kyokogodai We teach the Canadians fearlessness, they teach us patience. It's a deadly combination.
This film had a couple of sports figures in cameos. Several already I'D boxer Gene Fullmer, the 'bartender'. The other is Paul Hornung (Nortre Dame, Green Bay Packers) as the "lumberjack" behind the loudmouth lumberjack when they enter the bar.
john dates I like it when commentor like yourself recognize people and comment on who they are
Loved the Canadian seargent just straightening his tie before joining in
1 st Special Service Force. Only unit out of any army in WW2 to never retreat. I met one, Peter Cottingham- he was the 2nd Regiment Commander’s bodyguard- he was about 80 years old and he still could have taken me apart.
Interesting, was he Canadian or American?
@@fredvance7732 Canadian,he was a car salesman in my hometown’s GM dealership before I met him, he was still in great shape
I seem to remember reading that when a bar fight broke out the mps would stand back and wait for the fight to finish then moved in.
dont mess with Canada/American special forces

Chocolate Face oh yeah !
Ernest Borgnine always played bullies, and bad guys early in his career(at least on film). But from what I hear, he was actually a super nice guy, and a gentleman.
Borgnine was a sweetheart. Every interview I saw Ernie in he was an absolute joy. A very good man. And a GREAT American actor. His acting resume is pretty impressive.
And my cat's name is Mittens! What's your point? Borgnine isn't in this movie at all.
And back at HQ, commander says, "Sergeant, how much paper do we have left?" Sarge, "Just enough to outweigh the problem, sir." "Very well, fire up the typewriter."
According to my nephew, former MP, they'd go in their hands and knees, then use the stick on shins and kneecaps bringing the boyos down to their level. "Take out just enough to win."
About the comment about a Canadian not wearing his headdress in a bar - in the U.S. Navy, you only wear your cover indoors is if you are on duty. If you are a boot ensign (or anyone) and walk into the O-bar covered, they ring the bell and you buy EVERYBODY in the bar a drink.
Peacock is neither navy, American or an officer...
Second best bar brawl in film. First is The Great race
This is a highly underrated Dirty Dozen knockoff.
Richard Jaeckel - whose head is clean-shaven in this film, also appeared in "The Dirty Dozen," as Sergeant Bowren, Major Reisman's right-hand man and NCO.
Canadian Olympic hockey team...
defeated U.S. Olympic hockey team...
the Russian team walks in.
As much as the U.S. team wanted the gold itself,
they cheered like hec for Canada against Russia.
Little differences don't matter when who you side with
becomes a question of what you fundamentally share, of what you both stand for.
every highlander knows what was wrong with the one guys uniform :P
+The Elder Scrolls Yup, they weren't dangling!!
+John Pirie And not even camo! "Tighty-Whities"...☺
The Elder Scrolls : yes and so do a few of us Yanks.
Yup, out of uniform.
I know too, and I ain't a highlander!
When you otherwise stand for the same thing, you're likely to have those seemingly needless, disproportionately heated arguments over minor differences and little issues. However, when someone threatens what you both fundamentally stand for, you all stand together. Seems to be the gist of this scene. One moment an American is planning to brawl with the Canadians over really nothing (jealousy because the Canadians are occupying the local women?), and the next the local men come in and completely disrespect what both the American and Canadian servicemen stand for (as much as their disrespect is mainly directed at the Canadians). Rather like family - too often inconceivably cruel to each other but, then, from an outsider? Not likely to tolerate any slight on a brother or a sister, whatsoever.
I was honored to serve alongside my Canadian Forces friends when I was in the USAF. 21st NORAD Region.
Yanks and Canucks will always be the best of friends. We may disagree at times, but when it comes to a fight, we know who to count on.
🇨🇦👍
Anyone in the military will be able to tell you this makes plenty sense. Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Airport Force all make fun of each other. But when it comes down to the nitty gritty, we all have each other's backs against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic.
Pull up "Devils Brigade-fight scene" and watch when O'Neil first encounters Rocky in the mess hall and whips him as a demonstration of hand to hand combat. "The human body has numerous vulnerable points; the elbow (WHAM) the ribs (WHAM) the neck (WHAM)!" Then watch this clip. Rocky does the exact same thing to the lumberjack that O'Neil did to him. Guess he learned his lesson well.
How about when the instructor drops a guy before he slowly slides down as he passes out?
My grandfather was in this Unit , He is the only member of my family I really respect . The rest are a bunch of cowards
4:40 lol every Canadian should recognize that bar sign lol
The 1st Special Service Force reflects just so incredibly well on Canada and the United States. Canadian Force members were upset with the way the US members were portrayed in this movie. They were brothers. All Hollywood. Bless Canada and the US. Family indeed.
The Americans in this movie were supposed to be the worst of the military. The malcontents. Not at all representative of the average fighting man. Why they would choose them to be used as an elite fighting force, I'll never know.
@@kurtb8474 In the movie, it was because of Pentagon politics. The US had no interest in tying up its best men in a force that may or may not have ever been deployed, based on a half assed scheme of Mountbatten's. So they dumped everyone they couldn't find any other place for on the First Special Service Force.
No idea what it was like IRL, but that was the in-movie justification.
@@kurtb8474 Every member of this unit, both Canadian and American were volunteers.
@@jad43701 ... yes, they were. The Americans volunteered to get out of the stockade; the Canadians volunteered from the ranks. What was written above about the Pentagon & military politics was 100% accurate.
The Canadians would remove their head dress upon entering the bar. Hollywood mistake.
Almost time to remake the movie anyway.
More common than you think. There plenty of movies where they portray American military doing the same
Yeah, you are right, the same in many movies
All lids are taken off once inside, if you are a proper!!!
I’ve never been in the military. I’m an American who was raised to be a gentleman. I always remove my hat when indoors.
Americans and Canadians, we're basically family.
NO were not !!! YOU thank TRUMP for that !!!
Yep, you are all a bunch of drunk bullies.
Yes, we ARE family. And always will be. We have disagreements at times just like in any family.

men can come together for a special role
Nothing builds a great friendship than good bar fight!!
I wish that I could find this movie on DVD it's one of my favorites and a lot of other old ww2 movies
As a Reserve Engineer Troop Commander with my own lads in a bar, I got punched out by a local who thought I was cracking on to his girl. As I recovered from the hit, I saw not only my lads (approximately 25) come to my aid, I saw a platoon of regular infantry who were playing enemy for the exercise and were our drinking buddies swing into action. There is nothing better than having close to 60 diggers backing you up in that situation. Funny enough, the only person thrown out was the guy who hit me. It helped that the security guy in charge was a reserve commando.
America and Canada my have different views but we always here for each other.🇺🇸🇨🇦
I love this movie and also love how it was based on a true story, fyi I don't know if you all knew this but the bartender was a professional boxer by the name of Gene Fullmer
It's good to see militaries from different countries working together.
'Nothing is worn beneath a Scotsman's kilt'! Fact : It's all as good as new!
I like how the Americans don't hesitate to rumble when shit was going down and that Canadian Sergeant was awesome.
Thanks for posting! Saw this movie in the the theater and man it is action packed!
Claude akins was a a great charactor actor and he was really was great in westerns and gangster in the t v show the untouchables as a gangster in the al capone mob a really great actor
1st Special Service Force had a Sergeant Major who was regular army British Forces from Hong Kong. He had brought them Kung Fu and some basic flips, tosses and arm bars. They would have kicked the crap out of any regular "boxers" of the time.
As far as Canadian/American bonding -- most of them were from border towns in Alberta and Montana. They were friends already.
Carroll O'Connor is in this film because he's from a logging family from Missoula.
excuse me , quietly here ,, But not all the Canadians came from Alberta !! & definitley not all the Americans came from Montana ,, in the Brigade !! where did you get your info from ?? ..Please , I , am Not being unkind here , but you should check out the real History of where they really came from , each & every one of them .. Mind you some of the survived did settle in Montana & actually many from both sides of the Border used to meet there to Honour their Fallen ... Some Canadians from the Brigade did marry girls from Montana & settled there .. But ,The Devils Brigade was not made up of just Canadian Service Personnel from Alberta !! are you kidding?? (one is giving their head a shake over that ) nor all Americans in the Brigade originally just from Montana .. But never- the- less , no matter what U.S State , Canadian Province or Territory they came from , They got it together & did the Finest !!! Only Accolades & Salutes !!!
i laughed hysterically at this scene when i was a kid. don't know why. and the part with the guy jumping in the kilt was especially funny. the latter part is a tiny bit funny now.
The bartender at 4:39 is none other than Gene Fullmer, former middleweight boxing champion of the world. See that right uppercut? It didn't take much acting ability. BTW, he beat Sugar Ray Robinson 3 of 4 times - he was one bad, bad dude.
Don Layton Robinson thru one of
all time best left hooks to win his

Man alive! That's no lie. Sugar Ray Robinson is considered by some authorities to be the finest pound-for-pound boxer ever to live, so if Fullmer bested him multiple times he was something very special. He must be an all-time great himself, for sure....
Fullmer beat Robinson twice by decision, they had one draw and Robinson won one by KO. Robinson reputedly robbed with the draw. Robinson was an old man during the period of those fights (36 years - to 38 years spanning the four fights), not taking anything away from Fullmer as he was one of the toughest men to climb into the ring but in Sugar Ray's prime Fullmer would not have beaten Robinson.
@@marknorris1381 Of course, we'll never know the answer to that, but you may be right. I think Fuller was 8 years his younger. Either way, he was a bad, bad dude.
Richard Dawson in a kilt! Funniest barroom brawl ever!
Jerry Berndt he was out of uniform by being in skivvies
Spent a short time in Maine met a few French Canadians up around the St. John's river as we were doing a week of paddling further south......seem to be good people.....
Bartender that punched guy was
Gene Fulmer,former middleweight
champion boxer.
Boxing great Gene Fullmer is the bartender & Green Bay Packer icon Paul Hornung is one of the lumberjacks
Just like brothers.
Sometimes we fight each other but BOY OH BOY if anyone fucks with either one or the other, you know damn well that the other will have the other's back!
gene fullmer is in that brawl,it was the current champion
Specialty,,,, hand to hand combat . Could pass the salt and pepper, thank you.
What an iconic clip from a movie classic. But speaking of cameos, however, besides Gene Fulmer did anyone else know or even notice Paul Hornung (the Notre Dame Golden Boy) walk in as one of the lumberjacks!!
good ol' movie making, i love this movie for a whole list of reasons
The gruff and quite ill-mannered US tanker. But he is not that bad of a man, deep down.
The somehow stiff, strict, moustache-wearing, athletic, well-educated fighting man.
I love that kind of character in a movie.
Moral of the story kids most ppl you don’t like at first normally become very good friends 👌
You mess with Canada, you mess with us. Nobody roughs up America's hat and smiles pretty the next day.
Love how all ya needed back then was a KARATA CHOP, just like Spencer beating Ernest up on bad day at black rock 🤣
I liked it when Richard Dawson walks in with Crystal Gayle.
I want to say Thank you to kilo Tunnel and coral Hahn For thier service in defence of my Country Canada, and also I want to thank our neighbors south of the border in the U.S. who are serving in thier country's military. Thank you all for your service, I greatly appreciate it. As for my fellow Canadians who don't like the Americans for what ever reason, how would you feel if some one from the US. Came up to Canada and said some thing disrespectful about our country? You wouldn't like it, would you? I think not. Corey Hansen.
Thousands of Americans came up to Canada and joined all three services before the US got involved in December 1941. Made for some great soldiers, sailors and fighter pilots!
My Grandfather was a Canadian member of The First Special Service Force. He said they did have a few scraps in the bars. He said a few went out the window *LOL*
