CLIP DESCRIPTION:
The sub surfaces and gets fired on by the Destroyer. Rabbit (Will Estes) struggles underwater to reach the valve to fire the torpedo.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this World War II action thriller, American reconnaissance agents learn that a German submarine is sinking. The doomed ship carries an Enigma Machine, a special coding device that allows high-level Axis forces to send messages that can't be read without a similar encryption mechanism. Obtaining a working Enigma device would be invaluable for the Allied war effort, so a U.S. sub is sent out to rescue the machine. However, German forces have already picked up the sub's distress signal and are en route to rescue their comrades. U-571 features a distinguished cast, including Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel, and Jon Bon Jovi.

This is the specific incident that made the German Navy stop building their destroyers out of sheets of compressed nitroglycerin.
... lmmfao ...
hahahahhahahaha, you're funny
It’s really an awesome scene that gets you right on the edge of your seat. It’s only too bad that the budget combined with 2000s CGI couldn’t deliver well there with a realistic explosion. But if you push that part out of your mind, it’s an awesome scene.
Nu board
They should design them so that the front doesn't fall off
Nothing destroyer can do against the power of the script.
Yep, the script was a made man and the destroyer wasn't, there was nothing we could do about it.
@@lifeisshort.9869 lmaooooo
The talmudic fury never dies,even in movie scripts.
you do realize that the destroyer was loaded with depth charges, fuel as well as ammo for its guns, right?
@@IsengardMordor still wouldn't blow up like that
That ship must have been an undercover oil tanker lol
Jaja ze Americans will never expect an inozemt oil Tanker delivering their pretsious oil.
ships carry tons of oil lol
secret amunition transport
No the torpedo probably hit the highly explosive shell magazine or a fuel tank
More like an undercover cargo ship carrying ammonium nitrate.
This is like the submarine version of FURY.
+Roy Mustang Exactly. A great movie for action junkies, but certainly not a paragon of historical accuracy. The same can be said for all 'historical' movies tbh...Hollywood ones or otherwise. If anybody wants historical accuracy, might as well just watch a documentary.
fury- reatrded af
Sub* war film.
ikr
Both Fury and U-571 were written by the same guy: David Ayer
I never knew ships were composted mostly of explosives
1% german crew, 99% MICHAEL BAYYYY
even though i hate this movie its possible for the destroyer to go up like that if the subs torpedo hit there powder magazine which would be close to to where it hit
Maybe a large explosion but not like that.
Joseph Cloutier well, there would be a big explosion but not THAT big
ammo magazine there? Would be crazy
2:02 shows the superiority of German periscopes that could extend well above the deck of a destroyer.
Erlend Johan Alvestad
LOOOOOL why didn’t I notice earlier 😂
Lololol
They were on the surface, at 0:30 that periscope looks pretty high
Well to be fair the U-Boat is on the surface, putting the periscope at around 15m of height fully extended
150m periscope yaaay
A destroyer chasing a sub was caught completely off guard by a torpedo?
+arbitterm They probably believed A. The boat was out of torpedoes B. The boat was damaged and could not fire any. or C. The Americans did not know how to operate the torpedo tubes.
+Nathaniel Postwar They obviously would not be thinking any of that.
+Adriel Jose you never played world of warships lol
That's one hell of an assumption to make. And it NEVER hurts to zigzag when chasing a surfaced sub, you know, just in case? But then again, the Germans are sailing on a fictional destroyer ship, maybe the nuclear reactor on it was making their brains not work good.
arbitterm they weren't chasing it you have to watch the movie to figure this scene out. There actually in a German u boat they high jacked cause there boat got blown up. They had issues with there diesel engine cause German they had held hostage sabotaged the engine. When they were trying to figure out the engine they came across the German destroyer at first the destroyer didn't think much of it until they saw they were ready there weapons the captain ordered to fire a shell at the destroyers radio shack so they couldn't radio for help. The destroyer set depth charges to try and damage there U boat. The captain came up with an idea to shoot a bunch of garbage out the tubs to make it seem like the boat was destroyed the destroyer stopped made it quiet so they could listen and see if they herd anything mean why'll the u boat was coming up and they were going to surface right infront so they could fire there torpedo right into the front of the destroyer. They never were chasing the U boat.
I have a fond memory of watching this with my grandpa who was in the Navy (post-WWII). When Lt. Tyler yells "Take fire right now or we die!" It always gives me chills.
"Tank! Fire right now or we die!"... Not take...
He is ordering 'Tank' their engineer at the rear torpedo, to fire.
For me it is the firing of the deck gun taking out the destroyer’s radio shack.
The mechanics name is tank. Since trigger drowned struggling to turn the valve to enable the torpedo to be fired but no one was aware he had drowned, tank was left to fire the torpedo. "Tank fire right now or we die!" Great scene
*Tank (It's the name of the guy in the engine room.)
@@Tigerman1138 yeah, cause hitting that would have been like winning powerball, twice
I must have missed a day of high school history class. When did the Germans start building warships entirely of explodium?
to be fair, where that torp hit, it would likely have racked the magazines hard as well as the fuel tanks, resulting in secondary explosions and fires that would be this catastrophic, especially for a smaller ship like a Destroyer
There's a wonderful taken during WWII of a Japanese destroyer with it's bow blown clean off by a torpedo. The photo was taken from the sub's periscope.
@@Tank50us dozens of destroyers have had their bows hit/blown off by torpedos during WW2. It was very, very rare for them to suffer a magazine detonation from it, even if they were hit near the magazine. The reason for that is simple: water. With such a hit you get immediate, massive flooding, which cools the magazine so fast that the ammunition doesnt have the time to heat up and start exploding.
Most destroyer ammunition was stored in brass shell casings, so an explosion is unlikey to set them off immediatly, the heat needs to transfer through the brass first, which takes up to a few seconds. But then the water already touched the casings. So no detonation. If a ship suffered from a magazine detonation, it was usually caused by fire, or it was on larger ships where the propellant was stored in bags, not brass casings.
Hollywood rule: Things must go boom
I love how the Sub is getting hammered - the chief asks to abandon ship
and from the second they get pressure back to fire the Torpedo
the sub doesn't take any additional hits and its quiet enough to hear a pin drop when they fire the Torpedo!
I also like how the Germans start running for no reason everywhere when they are supposed to be in battle stations already.
Ain't it amazing how an American crew can easily control a German submarine right off the bat despite all the descriptions being German and in metric?
maybe they learn German and metric that's the reason
@@what2toinquarantine64 Except they never intended to hijack the uboat, that was just an unforeseen consequence of their own submarine getting sunk by the supply vessel. All they do is take one German-American guy with them to speak German, not read it or do metric-imperial conversions.
@@shiroamakusa8075 technically they had 2 people that could read everything too
Eh American or German doesn't matter it was probably built in China like everything else
@Shiro Amakusa - Did you watch the movie?? They have two Germans in their crew that actually had to translate the controls to them when they first to take control of the U-boat…..
I really really like how they created shockwaves on the water. That's what a lot of film makers seem to forget (I'm thinking mainly MCU). The characters in some of those movies experience explosions sometimes only a few feet away and simply don't react.
Superheroes are not normal people though
German officers weren't that stupid. If real life, this sub would have been destroyed by that destroyer at very beginning.
+Sitti2300 Congrats for figuring out that this is a movie and stupid shit happens in movies. If we made movies like real life it would last 5 minutes. Would you rather pay to go see that instead?
+Sitti2300

I Watched the movie almost a hundred times and still never get bored.
me too
Just remember that the whole thing is fiction.
Submarine: “devastating strike”
Destroyer: “detonation”
Wows
Damn rng!
U571 was sunk with all hands by an Aussie Sunderland flying boat, you would have thought the creators of this woeful film would have at lease given their fictional U Boat a fictional number.
Realism was never an option
Z49: 'Detonation'
U-571: 'Devastating Strike'
"Fun and engaging mechanics"
Yes
For your info: The German Destroyer Z49 has a name: Deustche Zerstorer, Z49 Anschluss
1:08 damn pipe didn't even have bolt holes.
Lol I never noticed it before! Hahaha
I love how the torpedo hit the ship on the port(left) side, but its listing to starboard(right) when she goes down.
Maybe the starboard side hasore damaged recieved due to the explosion more than the port side.
Well they decided to strap the Fat Man to the torpedo so who really knows what makes sense?
Just like the whole movie, not very thought out.
2:11 THE SUBMARINE *POOPS OUT A TORPEDO!*
Lol
Why is everyone trashing this movie? It’s not supposed to be “historically accurate”, those are called documentaries. People who may not know anything about German enigmas being recovered from U-boats now may be interested in the matter and learn about it. The movie also pays tribute to those who really did recover the enigmas so it serves to honor them as well.
It doesn't honour them at all. The first Enigma machine was captured by the British, how are they mentioned or honoured ? This is the classic case of American Hollywood rewriting history to make it seem like the Americans did all the work.
@@hunterhorsehelmsley7315 Because it credits them at the end of the movie
That's the thing, though. It's not even loosely based. The only thing accurate about the film is that it took part at sea.
For instance, it's like Britain making a movie about how we made the 1st Atomic bomb all on our own & then later we dropped it on Japan using a Lancaster. Then afterwards, wander... 🤔
Why are muricans getting so irritated? After all, "it's only a movie."
why were all the ships and subs in this film that got torpedoed full of petrol and fireworks?
Hey, Did you know that a battleship then contains cordite. Something that helps fire the shells from the main cannon is HIGHLY flammable?
@@chieffirefigherplays cordite is explosive, not flammable, watch the videos of HMS Barham and HMS Hood, both real footage of cordite explosions on board warships, no fuel air fireballs, or white fireworks.
Probably because they are warships??..duh.. plenty of historical evidence of one shell hit and or one torpedo destroying an entire ship hit it in the right spot..
Because Michael Bay was in charge of these scenes..
Das Boot was a much better movie.
James Valenti Dude why you compare this hollywood shit with a real Masterpiece?
ethel212oasa good point. lol
***** I only saw Das Boot, Red October, Crimson Tide, and K19. Thanks for the information though. Ill check those movies out.

@@PauloPereira-jj4jv. Ok. Why do you have to be so harsh on it?
@@sirethanthegreat4069 .. just because it's obviously not that class of ship. No other reason...
@@PauloPereira-jj4jv. Doesn’t mean you have to be that harsh. The reason why I said destroyer was that it was in the title of the video.

"I did not feel good" about suggesting Americans captured the Enigma code rather than the British.
"It was a distortion... a mercenary decision to create this parallel history in order to drive the movie for an American audience,"
- David Ayer, Screenwriter U571
+TheVillaAston U-505
+Nathaniel Postwar
15 Enigma encoding machines were captured from U-boats during the war. 13 were captured by the Royal Navy, 1 by the Royal Canadian Navy and, finally, in June 1944, long after the Battle of Atlantic had been won, the US Navy captured one.
@@thevillaaston7811 Took them long enough
then why write the damn film?
As a sub-sim enthusiast, I can only dream of having such visuals like that ship exploding.
Ah, American films. Where the Germans react like snails on barbiturates, and Yankee torpedoes have future explosive technology...
Also the fact it was the British who obtained the enigma machine not the yanks
yankee torpedoes sucked seach about Mk-14 torpedoes
Well, remember, this film is appropriating what the British actually did. So if what happened to the Germans pisses you off, pause for a second to remember the British actually did this.
I watched this in theatres back then.
Yeah. That totally happened in real life.
+arizonatsunami its a movie not a documentary just enjoy it.
@@thestach7729 Stop. Very immature
@@clashman7564 Bruh
I think more people are pissed at the Germans are depicted here losing here to Americans, rather than the fact that the British actually did the same thing in real life.
@@AlcoholicBoredom The British cracked Enigma through the efforts of the team at Bletchley Park and Alan Turing's computer...
Nothing to do with raiding U-Boats...
They used U-Boat radio messages to input the required data into Alan Turing's computer because the U-Boats would always send a radio message at the same time each morning.
Most improbable hit and even more improbable detonation, considering fuse construction and reliability.

People quote Hood or Barham or Arizona but they ignore the outcome - while affected parts of those ships were destroyed still major parts of tho whole ships remains as normal shipwrecks. Check Arizona's memorial how the wreck looks like.
This is like if they hit ship made out of flammable liquid soaked paper filled with explosives and high octane petrol.
This and Below are my two favorite movies. Very suspenseful.
this movie is stupid af, Americanisation of British achievements.
How drunk the Hollywood director who make this movie?
Highschool fleet still make sense than this.
He also made Terminator 3.
The skipper always knows what to do whether he does or not!!!
As an American, I have steadfastly refused to watch this movie as it takes a historical dump on the incredible actions of the British in capturing Enigma off of a German sub. What a slap in the face to an incredible moment in military history. Rest assured, my British cousins, there are many Americans who know the real story and are rightly impressed by the REAL history. There was no need for this tripe.
I was going to make a comment but you have already said it. Well said Sir !
Thanks. 'HOLD FAST' (HMS Bulldog's motto.)
Yes!! I'm one of those Americans too! The real story was great, why didn't they do that for the film?
You must be a blast at parties
thank you
so, multiple shells can't sink a delicate, pressurized little surfaced sub, but one torpedo utterly demolishes a destroyer, a vessel specialized in sinking subs?
The only explosives on the sub was the sole torpedo they were carrying. The destroyer was carrying depth charges and other explosives both on deck and in the hull. I think the destroyer does manage to cause enough damage to sink the sub it just doesn't sink right away.
***** Really, wonder how all those warships that got the crap bombed and torpedoed out of them not only did not blow up but did not sink. Its all about damage control my friend. Of course, there were exception to this, really cool bang!
Makes me think of what I learned about the submarine warfare during the Falkland War of '82.
This is underrated. Happy 20th!! Reminded me of das boot.
U-571 is a 2000 war film directed by Jonathan Mostow, and starring Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel, Thomas Kretschmann, Jon Bon Jovi, Jack Noseworthy, Will Estes and Tom Guiry. In the film, a World War II German submarine is boarded in 1942 by disguised United States Navy submariners seeking to capture her Enigma cipher machine.
The film was financially successful and generally well-received by critics in the USA[1] and won an Academy Award for sound editing.[2] The fictitious plot attracted substantial criticism since, in reality, it was British personnel from HMS Bulldog who first captured a naval Enigma machine (from U-110 in the North Atlantic in May 1941), months before the United States had even entered the war. The anger over the inaccuracies even reached the British Parliament, where Prime Minister Tony Blair stated that the film was an "affront" to British sailors.
The real U-571 was never involved in any such events, was not captured, and was in fact sunk in January 1944, off Ireland, by aShort Sunderland flying boat from No. 461 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force.
Watch The new True Movie the “Imitation game” for what happened next. In 1939, newly created British intelligence agency MI6 recruits Cambridge mathematics alumnus Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to crack Nazi codes, including Enigma -- which cryptanalysts had thought unbreakable. Turing's team, including Joan Clarke (Keira Knightley), analyze Enigma messages while he builds a machine to decipher them. Turing and team finally succeed and become heroes, but in 1952, the quiet genius encounters disgrace when authorities reveal he is gay and send him to prison. He invented the Computer!!!
ua-cam.com/video/mzLxyIFKd_0/v-deo.html
BUt even this movie forgot something: Alan Turing could not have cracked the Enigma Code without the help of Polish mathematicians like Marian Adam Rejewski. He constructed the 'Polish Enigma "double"' in 1932. That (and the crucial role of the Polish pilots during the German Blitz) is why Poland should have been one of the "Four/Five Policemen", not France.
The Imitation Game is a fantastically inaccurate movie.
@@doofkos Alan Turing built on the work of the Polish but they didn't break the German Naval Enigma machine that was thought impossible because the Germans changed the settings everyday so there was no way of knowing which settings they were using until Alan Turing cracked a way to do it and HMS Bullfrog recovering the code book and Enigma machine helped Alan and his team crack the codes and decipher Enigma.
Most likely the DD would have dodged the incoming torp in this scenario.
And yes,given distance between the ships the DD would be very quick in zooming
in its salvos on the Uboat and sink it,but obviously it was protected by plot armor.
That was the top-secret jellied gasoline torpedo.
Super film.
Recall watching this show way back when I just joined the Navy. Was so cool and pumped watching this. Good show.

Wow, great production value, fantastic acting, and soooooooo historically accurate...
Movies aren’t supposed to be spot on perfectly accurate according to history, you’d be thinking of a documentary. They still arouse curiosity and the interest to learn more about the events they’re based on and still are a way to honor the men who did recover German enigmas like they do at the end of the movie.
@@joseywales8498 America never even took part in this. It was Britain. The whole film is blatant rewriting of history
@@Sam-tu1on I don’t believe America recovered any until 1944, but Britain definitely was first and recovered many more. The movie is just that though, a movie. It’s not a documentary claiming to be historically accurate and it gives credit to the British at the end of the movie.
@@joseywales8498it did suspiciously not at all mention the fact that the entire movie is historical bs presented as fact, for the most part…. I mean, it’s one of those things where if someone was uneducated on the subject they absolutely would believe that this is based on some true story.

If you want a really good WWII sub movie, just get Das Boot, it's at least true to life.
Damn that a huge nuclear torpedo here.
Wow that's awesome Wow that's awesomely unbelievable!!
I’m probably late on this, but I laughed out loud when the torpedo hit. Must have filled the destroyer with tons of explosives 😂
I just finished reading _The Last Stand of the Tin Can Soldiers_ and several eyewitness accounts from many witnesses to warship battles during WW-II. It is VERY possible that a warship will blow up and sink in little time. Warships, especially then, are essentially floating magazines of explosives and also of very explosive boilers.
I can't find the name of the warship, but one of the accounts I read was of a warship going down within 4 minutes of being hit--boom! WHOOM! Gone.
Here's the account of the demise of the escort carrier USS Liscome Bay:
_"At about __05:10__, a lookout on the starboard (right) side of Liscome Bay reported seeing a torpedo headed for the ship. The torpedo struck behind the after engine room, as Liscome Bay was conducting its turn, and detonated the bomb magazine, causing a devastating explosion that engulfed the ship ... Fires on the flight deck caused ammunition within the burning aircraft and anti-aircraft guns to detonate, further complicating matters ... At __05:33__, only 23 minutes after the explosion, Liscome Bay listed to starboard and sank; 53 officers and 591 enlisted men were killed."_
@@k.chriscaldwell4141 That's only when you hit a magazine on the ship, this one merely hit the bow
The movie lacks of dragons to be more realistic.
Damn that ship exploded harder than a shopping Cart in the Simpsons
It took them that long to shoot a torpedo
Lmao. my blind grandmother could have evaded that torpedo
Those Yankees always win a battle - in American movies 😜👍
Weather randomly switches between completely overcast, partially cloudy, and cloudless over the course of a few seconds.
In the sequel the USS Missouri blows the Bismarck in two after the Hood gets sunk because of stopping mid battle for a tea break...
Yeah I know this movie isn't very accurate and all that. But the music, editing and effects are awesome. ^_^
watch "Das Boot" from 1981. in german with english subtitles. The whole 3 hour version. then tell me which movie has the better effects.

Apparently, Hollywood is making a new movie that shows how Americans saved Jesus from the cross. The British Royal Navy and the Australian Air Force must have facepalmed over U-571.
@@klatewilson5170 its Hollywood, they only gives the credit to the US Navy and US Air Force.
Wouldn't the crew of the destroyer already be at battlestations?
Not necessarily, ships would only go to battle stations when they actually new a battle was imminent. If they stayed at battle stations all the time, by the time it came to a fight the crew would be so exhausted the wouldn't be able to.
Kendall What he means is it looks like they only go to battlestations the instant they spot the torpedo
Ever think of this the U boat was surfaced for quite a why'll and didn't shoot the torpedo the destroyer was shooting it's canons a lot trying to sink it. Then boom torpedo in the water caught them off guard
They were on lunch break...
Wow .just 1 torpedo made that damage... Whoaaa
Lessons we learned today is dont mess with submarines
Your lesson applies only for WW2, Today we have better technologies that locates submarines and any other threat under the sea...
Apparently the German's made their destroyers out of petrol, judging by the explosion.
For all those stating that the film is inaccurate, consider this: 1. The United States Navy captured the enigma machine and codebooks of the U-505 during the Second World War. The end credits of U-571 acknowledge the Royal Navy's role in capturing the majority of enigma machines during the war. 2. The single torpedo explosion caused immediate secondary explosions in the destroyer, in term causing the main magazine to explode. 3. The destroyer captain was trying to ram the U-571 (a common technique) or get it bracketed and destroy it. He went straight toward it, as he knew the ship was damaged and believed it was incapable of firing torpedoes. 4. There were small number of African Americans/Blacks in the United States Navy during the war. Most served as cooks/stewards. Read about Doris Miller. Eddie (T.C. Carson) was a steward.
+Nathaniel Postwar There was a man in my hometown that served in the Navy as a cook during WW2. He worked in the auto parts store.
Nathaniel Postwar Wasn't U 505 hit by the Aussie Air Force though?
359 Michaelward no she was captured by the US navy and is currently on display in Chicago
They should have done a movie about the U-505, then. It's actually a really good story. U-571 was truly horrible Hollywood shyte
the explosion is still a fantasy movie, secondary or magazine explosion, doesn't matter, but I guess it's OK for Hollywood movie. Ramming a sub was a common technique even against intact submarines but not in a dumb way. Submarines better tried submerge quickly than firing the very slow torpedoes. Even if they had tried it would have been a salvo, as one would have been a piece of cake to be avoided by a destroyer - it's role being actually to DESTROY submarines. And last, how come they could not hit a surfaced submarine with more than one attempt? Those German guns were deadly as the Brits know very well. Anyway, Das Boot is reality, this one is a fun only.
@SpywareHater
Submarines did not need to be surfaced during a torpedo attack in WWII, because of the TDC, (Search it on wikipedia) the 'Torpedo Data Computer' which allowed torpedoes to stay on course and at a specific depth until detonation. Also, I'm not entirely sure how this works, but torpedoes can turn for a short while after being fired, even from the rear facing tube, so the submarine does not need to be facing where they need the torpedo to go.
I wasn´t thinking of THAT!
Thanks ;)
