Without a doubt, the most exciting moment in the movie. I have watched this film over one hundred times and I keep on getting nervous as if I were one of the prisoners trying to escape.
You don’t say?
*At 99 Times realise have watched it before but my pal Joey Biden it's the first time every time so makes it a cliffhanger !*
Seeing Danny have to face his fears in the dark tunnel during the air raid was one of the highlights of the entire movie for me. Charles Bronson is usually cast to play the "tough guy" archetype, but this shows he has range as an actor.
They way he clings to that lamp, like it's pulling him back to reality
Charles Bronson really was claustrophobic but this scene added so much more depth to his character. He dug 17 or more than 17 tunnels yet was petrified of them. I know the character he played was a caricature of a real escapee, but I was so happy to see him make a full home run without ever being recaptured.
Even tough guys can have phobias. Danny is all too human.
Warmed my heart to see his character made it in the end
see you in piccadilly....
"scott's bar"
what a line to such a great film
It's a pity that none of them made it to Scott's Bar in Piccadilly, what a night that would have been!
I know right?
Well, three of them got It but they had not to get Great Britain as their goal.
Favorite movie of all time. First saw this as a little kid with my dad, and now I've seen it over 100 times. For some time now I've been looking for this exact clip, thank you so much for uploading one of the most important scenes in my favorite movie of all time!
Same here!
My dad burned it and made a replica cover for the copy even! I can't believe I loved a movie like this so young!
I can’t even begin to imagine what it would have been like....these were proper heroes 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸xxxxx
Awesome movie one of my favourites. Great actors and the movie was so engaging.
one of my top 5 films and at 3:30 says it all about who? built the tunnel and the struggle he had, love it
considering the things that went wrong it`s a wonder they got out as many as they did. besides the tunnel being to short. there was a delay durning the air raid, lighting the fat lamps. also remember the scene where they told the guy that trunk wouldnt make it. in real life the trunk snaged the side of the tunnel causing a small cave in that had to be fixed in a hurry
Not to mention that IRL there was snow on the ground making it easier for the Germans to follow their trail. When filming the movie they hoped for snow but it just didn't happen.
Write sentences.
0:23 David McCallum and Steve McQueen (Eric and Hilts)
Super very good movie Excellent performance very nice acting!
I believe this is one of the only movies that doesn't have a female speaking part.
It's A Real Man's Film That's For Certain!✈️
Master and Commander.
12 Angry Men.
I’m sure there are others.
The thing 1982
How on earth did they come up short with the tunnel.
Their plan was to take off in the forest. Only if they made it by digging. They only made one measly little error that they came up short. Digging back in the day was all hard work, and so was to make sure how many feet that they would go far on.
It all went well until after prisoner number 76 escaped; their luck ran out at 5 am when a German guard stumbled upon the tunnel exit.
Morgan Freeman mentioned on something like that in that tv show he was in. On the History Channel. Histories Greatest Heists is the title.
80 years ago today! 3/24-25/1944
Oh wow!
In reality there was much snow
Still around causing them to keep to the roads
Only three made it to freedom
A dutchman and two norwegians who stowed away
On a swedish ship!
They did had that in “Masters of the Air”, that new tv show on Apple TV.
why did they not build some extra length in the tunnel for insurance lol
You know how they were trying to get away from those god awful Nazi’s during the Second World War. Which is why they had to do this secretly until the whole thing was revealed later on.
They miscalculated the distance between the fence and the woods. And at that point there was no more time to keep building. All their preparation, forging tickets for the trains and getting everyone organised was all for that night. It was then or never.
@@CactusCowboyDan -- It was not believable to miscalculate it by *that* much.
@@robertveith6383 Why not?
Why is Steve McQueen wearing white pants?
No idea.
🤣Obviously he didn't want to get caught!
There were another mistakes that did not happened in the real even, being the most important that, during that night, March, 24 th-25 th, the land was completely covered by snow and, It took them nearly an hour to put off the tramp because It was frozen due to very low temperature. Remember they were in Germany...
because he's Steve McQueen
