The charge of the French cavalry in Waterloo should be on the list, thousands of real soldier actors, no cgi, and real cannons and effects. One of the best charges imo
Same with me. The speech, the score, the impact it had on the battle that seemed lost. since I saw it in theatres when it came out, It hits me every single time. nothing gives you the feeling of courage in dire times, and the hope it can inspire
Forth, and fear no darkness. Arise, arise Riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered. A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now! Ride now! Ride! Ride for ruin, and the world’s ending! Death! Death! Death! Forth Eorlingas! Most epic speech and scène!
On some level I agree with you, but is fidelity to realism worth so little? Would you not rather a battle that at the very least adheres to proper physics? In all things but the combat, the movie Lotr world follows mundane physics quite well. Why is it the combat is so piss poor?
"The Germans had let the 1st squad get away with sitting in the field waiting for reinforcements. They had bunched up in one big mass, inexcusable in Winters' view. They had allowed two machine-guns to pin them down while the three columns of Easy ran 200 yards across the field in the bayonet charge." - Stephen E. Ambrose, _Band of Brothers_
@@connorg.3381 Absolutely. Any and all of the men who were with Major Winters in Easy Company will attest to his great physical courage and the fact that he always led from the front. Two reasons why they respected him so much and would do anything for him. Those reasons, and the fact that Winters always said "the Men eat first", with all that represents.
Ride of the Rohirrim should be number one, especially if you include the warcry/speech. Last Samurai was still very good though. Not convinced of most of the others.
The dark night scene made no sense. They have guns, take cover and fire. Sure you charge when the enemy is entrenched but if they're just standing in the open shoot.
@@VoiceOfTheEmperor No you'd be dead. If they really got opened fired open like that, they never would have reached the other guys. The police would have all been dead within 1 minute.
jet still made up of 99.99% cgi, and with a distinct lack of realism, i get that its an incredibly emotional scene, however from a filmmakers and armchair historians view, there is still ALOT to improve with that scene
Lord of the Rings beats all of them! I have respect for the others, especially the first one shown here... But Lord of the Rings, the Charge of the Eorlingas and Rohirrim is 10/10!
...ah, you are right! xD I thought, because Eomer said "Rohirrim" at the Battle of Helm's Deep, and Theoden "Eorlingas" at the Battle of Helm's Deep and the Battle of Pellenor Fields.
W. L. Orodor Calaerchon you are 100% right about the order but m8 you cant tell rohirrim from an eorling and you have túrin turambar as pic? that doesnt add up :P (no offense intended)
Actually happened too, that movie was pretty damn accurate. Chamberlain's charge down Little Round Top, was pure genius. Get a pride tear when I see them run down that hill into certain death, only to take the confederates by complete surprise. That stroke of tactical genius, is actually listed as a real-life situation that be derived from Desperate Ground, in The Art of War, when Sun Tzu describes the 9 different types of "ground"
Candidate is The Devil's Brigade - heavy artillery bombardment of German positions and then they wait till the Germans have emerged from bunkers before charging.
Thomas Longrigg Theres a million things wrong with the charge of the Rohirrim. 1. No horse armor, and lets charge into a wall of pikes. Genius. 2. Only like a few of the horsemen have lances, so they're just going to get impaled by pikes until the pikeman falls down, with like 4 dead horses under his belt because that cavalry line is huge and decieded it'd be smart to charge into one ball of horsemeat. 3. No flanking was done when that much cavalry was deployed. Common sense was clearly thrown out the window.
Demo pan Why you are wrong. 1. Considering the amount of cavalry that the Rohirrim had and how much time it would have taken to equip all of those horses with armor would have taken way too long and Minas Tirith would most likely have fallen or would be extremely close to it if they had decided too. What wall of pikes if you pay attention alot of archers were at the front line or very close to it when the cavalry arrived and the pikemen ( or pikeorcs ) were fleeing which means there pikes are facing the other way and the orcs that are not fleeing are smaller than humans ( correct me if i am wrong ) and would have been trampled by the sheer momentum and force of the charge. 2. If you look at the beginning scenes of the charge since there all grouped then, you see lots of them have spears and they would not "just gonna get impaled" because of what i said earlier. ^^^^^^^^ 3. Most likely if they would have moved troops into an effective flanking position they would have been spotted much sooner which would have giving the orcs alot of preparation time and considering the amount of forces the orcs had if the Rohirrim were to split its troops it would not have as much momentum or sheer power to push through all of the orc forces like they did. The lord of the Rings is has my favorite movies and is my favorite trilogy in it which is why i took the time to do this.
MistyGamingForLife If the moron spent 10 more minutes to have the other half of the cavalry charge through the other side, they would have killed the orcs much quicker. Also, the rapid deployment is a valid reason for no armor, but this lack of horse armor has been seen throughout the movies. Like in the other charge at the end of the video.
Why is it that the fucking police only carry pistols and are placed in the front whereas there are easily more capable swat officers with better armor placed in the back? And why didn't the police bring officers with riot shields and automatic guns rather than their pistols and caps? Makes no sense to me :/
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly might deserve an honorable mention. No heroic music or hand-to-hand closeups, but still a respectable attempt at staying true-to-period, with the creative attention mainly focused on the buildup, but the actual close combat only shown from a distance and largely left to the imagination - probably since the result of the combat is not relevant to the story the movie is telling. Of course, this also adds an interesting perspective - possibly rare in cinema - where a battle is shown in some detail despite the fact that none of the main characters has any vested interest in it's outcome. And the level of detail is huge - it actually held the world record for some decades iirc, for most people ever used in the filming of a battle.
Gettysburg is my personal favorite. The attention to detail and the passion that went into making it not just by the main actors and crew but the hundreds (thousands?) of re-enactors that volunteered their time and own costumes and props. Awesome.
"The Dark Knight Rides" is so pathetically unrealistic it should be listed as the number one most comical charge. Only "Band Of Brothers" and "Gettysburg" was done with the intent of capturing realism.
You know what I don't like about movies? I dont like that the actors don't actually die. What the fuck is this? As soon as the scene is over they just stand walk away like nothing happened. Unacceptabe and unrealistic if you ask me.
The charge in glory is honestly the best. Their commanding officer dies and they charge with a complete disregard for their own well being. Very inspiring.
It's dumb because why the Fuck would the police charge at guys with rifles like that. And why would the guys with guns charge the police. You both have guns. Shoot at each other jesus
Where is the charge of the Heavy Cavalry (Waterloo)????? I mean come on... If your going to have Band of Brothers (charge scene??? ) or even Alexander you could have at least put it at the bottom!
Actualy BoB charge was small in numbers, but extremly proper in tactical sence and execution both,... and when it looks like smoke wont go off and Winters charging alone,..., first time i saw it was, waaaaaaaaaaaauuuu
@@abc-oq7dt yes but it was the same in The Last Samurai, you should watch it. Im a huuuge LoTR buff, ive read the books and the Silmarils, its without doubt my favourite fantasy...but the charge of Katsumoto in The Last Samurai is way..more impactful
fook yu I've always found the DKR scene to be fairly "believable." Anyone who's fired a fully automatic or even semi-automatic firearm can tell you that you can be pretty inaccurate if untrained. Especially if under pressure.
+The indiegamer however given the sheer number of them being fired and the fact that at least a few of these hardened criminals must have fired on in the past youd expect more deaths on the side of the police
Ironic when the two charges from 'Lord of Rings' are more historically accurate than those from 'the patriot' or 'brave heart' At least Lord of the Rings followed Tolkien's script whereas brave heart and the patriot were pure fantasy. Now that is irony for all of you who don't understand the concept.
The “history” in Tolkien’s book was already embellished enough, the battle of cow pens however wasn’t. Also the patriot was not meant to be a documentary, but a story romanticizing the American revolution, which it did extremely well.
‘Patriot’ aka ‘Traitor’ was another of Gibson’s attempts to instil hatred of the English/British into yanks who rely on films and not research for history. What next, Gibson alone - as an all American hero - holding off a million Zulus with a toothpick in a new version of ZULU?
It's completely incomprehensible to me when I try and imagine being an army infantry soldier during WW2. Those men had steel balls and iron guts. Period.
Ben A I thought this video was about real life charges on film or on film adaptations. Not fictional stuff lol Glory is one of my favorite movies. I haven’t seen the other one you mentioned though
The Scots greys cavalry charge in waterloo (with the epic slow motion frontal camera view) is by far the greatest charge I’ve ever seen in a movie, it literally gives me goosebumps
In the Return of the King, the book, the charge of the Rohan is pretty goddamn epic, "Théoden commands his Riders into battle with a great cry “more clear than any there had ever heard a mortal man achieve.”" And the line about his golden shield being uncovered. Ya, the book is fucking epic. But the movie did it good justice.
I remember Woody.EXE’s horse charge last year and Mummy was really going for it to get justice for the Queen. I’ll never forget what Woody.EXE told Jessie and he got angrily emotional before ending her reign for good. 2022 ended great
The end of Glory (1989) is probably one of the greatest scenes in war movie history... the combination of music and visuals is emotionally provoking every time I watch it.
A few glorious charges mixed with a shitfest. I mean Batman fer fucks sake. What no Picketts charge? No charge of the light brigade? No Scot gray's from Waterloo, No Zulu's at Rorkes drift? Nothing from The Pacific? Jeez!
Well if any movies about the Pacific Theater in WW2 were put in this list, there will be a shit ton of Banzai charges, but come on, put at least one Banzai charge in the list. Would've been a better choice than The Dark Knight Rises.
I was an extra, for the Pickett's Charge scenes, in "Gettysburg". The Charge of the 20th Maine, at Little Round Top, was what saved the Union line, and decided Lee's disastrous attack, on July 3,1863. Few people, know that Company B, took part in the charge and were the only ones who still had ammunition. They fired into the Confederate troops attacking, as Chamberlain, was counter-attacking downhill. There were also a unit of Berdan's Sharpshooters on the extreme left, as well.
There's a show called Blood and Fury americas civil war, that did an episode all about the sharpshooters. Well worth tracking down. I saw one video which quoted a confederate who said that the fire from company B was the strew that broke the camel's back, and made them retreat.
The early 90s and 2000s movies brings back so many fond memories being a 90 kid. Wow thank you so much for uploading such a video and you don’t know how nostalgic it is to me! Thank you kindly! I really love @5:20 return of the king. Who’s with me... charge with those likes!
Colin S are you mad? The Patriot is a biased movie based off of braveheart, and it’s not fun to watch a set reotypical story with no historical accuracy. The Lord of the Rings is a world renowned series, known for having some of the best movie scenes of all time.
@@shiftyguggs2415 Except for the fact that the French support for the insurgents is ridiculously ignored. I mean, seriously, this movie shows ONE French officer and a few ships at the end, with some comment going like (if I remember well) : "Then the French FINALLY arrived". Yeah, because, everybody knows that they stopped for lunch, then a nap, took a couple of wrong turns, and so on. In other words, the war was pretty much over when they came up.
@@shiftyguggs2415 And, here we go again. "The French did help America by giving them WEAPONS, SUPPLIES, ETC." Right ! Keep going like that and in a hundred years, so-called American historians will claim that we sent you a couple of parcel of food and a christmas card. At least 10 000 French soldiers were sent to America with dozens of ships. As for WWII, "I guess call it even" ? If only. Since this time you have been calling us all kinds of names (starting with "losers"), even threatening us in the past decades. French are so despised in America that having French origins or knowing the language can be used against you if you are in politics. The French are mocked and/or insulted in all American medias (TV, cinema, novels newspapers, comic-books, etc.) and still, for whatever reason I cannot fathom, if we don't stand at attention for our lords and masters, you'll cry that we "hate" you. Personnally, I'm tired of this shit. And you are welcome.
Sees the patriot *stares into the distance listening to the music, a single tear falls down my cheek, as a bald eagle screeches and lands on a flagpole* Merica...
@@philliptaylor9129 Pickett's charge was like fifteen minutes long, and it takes the full fifteen minutes to convey the full emotion of the charge, so I can understand why it wasn't in the video.
@@philliptaylor9129 Pickett's charge was a heroic but useless sacrifice. Chamberlain's attack was much more important. It saved the left flank of the Potomac army and maybe the whole battle of Gettysburg for the union.
That one was actually the most realistic one. Disorganized confusion and the officers struggling to keep everyone together in the same direction with most people doing everything they can to not be in front. In real battles things moved very slowly as it was most important to keep formation if t turned into a rabble you could get wrecked. Even cavalry charges were more like riding into range and playing pokey pokey stabbey stabbey then backing off trying to pick off people until one side had enough and retreated. Bows and arrows couldn't do much damage against even light armour except lucky exposed shots. Horse charging would do serious damage for sure but it would be suicide. Pike lines stop horses dead, you basically accomplish mangling the front line and then you are dead. Cannon balls accomplish the same thing without suiciding extremely expensive horses and trained soldiers.
The Charge of the Light Brigade, 1968, a film that possibly shows one of the most factually correct depictions of a 19th century cavalry charge ever made. No hype, no Hollywood bullshit, just a brutal depiction of a light cavalry brigade maintaining order under constant fire as it moved from walk, to trot, to canter, to the charge over the last 200 yards. A true depiction of history. A desperate charged made by very brave men that never questioned the order once it was given.
@@kyleJohn1997 Waterloo didn’t accurately depict any of the various cavalry charges made during the battle. Waterloo stands as the only film to depict this battle, but it was poorly scripted, and poorly executed. The main players all gave great performances, but these were wasted on a poorly conceived film. Its depiction of the battle has more to do with Hollywood script writing than the accurate reality of an early 19th century battle. I really wish someone would remake the film.
Zulu was great! One of my favorite movies. "They've all hopped it.. it's a miracle" " If, it's a miracle, Colour Sergeant it's a short chambered, Boxer primed, point 45 miracle". " With a bayonet, and some guts, behind it".
You mean "Pickett's Meandering Advance at a Walk", under fire for over a mile? Charge is a relative term. It took Pickett 30 minutes to cross that field, a cavalry unit could cover it in 5 minutes. And still have failed.
This video is not only a way of entertaining us, but it’s giving us the fire and wisdom to do anything in life. When your back against the wall, the odds are against you. It’s better to die fighting with honor then to run with dishonor. Plus it’s also teaching us many other life lessons
Where is the hell charges of french and british cavallery from "Waterloo", charges of Winged guissars, charge from "Mongol", change from "The Lighrhorsemen", charge from "Kindom of Heaven" etc? Just 2 charges from your top-10 are really top: Ride of Rohirim and charge from "The Last Samurai".
IMO: The battle for helms deep is ALWAYS going to be number 1 for me. That battle had everything you wanted in suspense and then the charge at the end with the music behind it. Hands down one of the best scene ever created in film. 2nd would be the scene from the last samurai, the end of that charge when the artillery commander with the pain in his face went against orders and stopped firing and everyone just bowed in respect. Both of those scenes pull at every emotion. 3rd would be the charge at Pelennor Fields with the Rohirrim. However, as epic as that charge was i've always put the battle for Helms deep higher in my list. Gladiator, Braveheart, and Batman just seem very anticlimactic. Everything else was good as well. Over all good job on the video, Great watch!
Guess no one has ever seen Zulu Dawn. Best charge on film. No cgi, incredible camera views, thousands and thousands of Zulu charging the red thin line. Crazy underrated movie
No Charge of the Light Brigade (from the film of the same name, with Errol Flynn...and Korngold's music)? No attack on Aqaba from Lawrence of Arabia? No charge of the Bengal Lancers from Gunga Din? Foo.
"We were soldiers" had an incredibly fictional and stupid Hollywood charge. Which never happened. Instead, immediately following the battle, the 2nd battallion of the 7th Cavalry ran into a concealed NVA batallion which shot the Americans to pieces. American losses: 155 dead, 124 wounded. But for some reason they do not show this in the movie. Heck, they could have made movie about the German warmachine in WW2, showing only its victories during the summer of 1940 for that matter.

It's most likely never been filmed (unless somewhere in Europe) so it wouldn't count for this but in 1683 at the siege of Vienna the climax of the attack of the relief army was a charge spearheaded by 3000 Polish Hussars leading a total of nearly 20,000 German, Polish and Lithuanian heavy cavalry that completely smashed the Ottoman army. It was the largest cavalry charge in history.
I always love watching Colonel Chamberlain's charge at Little Round Top in 'Gettysburg'. Totally stunned the Confederate army at the bottom. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his part in that battle...
@@BuffP1024 Don't do that 1) it makes you a coward 2) charging in modern warfare is a last resort. You probably don't have anywhere to retreat to. 3) if the enemy wins, they'll kill/ capture everyone that's not dead 4) if your side wins, you'll be executed for desertion. 5) if you're not in the last rank, there will be dozens of soldiers behind you trampling you to death as you lie there (maybe even cavalry or tanks)
Can't believe he cut Theoden's "Arise, arise Riders of Theoden" (everyone would have absolutely watched it for the extra few minutes; greatest scene in cinema history)
William Taylor that movie is better than all on top 10 list i ve never even seen any of these movies horrible list nr10 wtf that counts as charge???? ride of rohirrim is nr2 of all time helms deep nr3 and the charge of dwarfes in battle of the five armies nr1 thats that.
@@niccolomachiavelli8763 dude the Hobbit didn't have the pure weight of three GOOD movies behind it. The cinematic gravity, with the music, the characterization of King Théoden finally facing death....that beats any hobbit charge. Thorin was just an aingsty, stuck up short man who was always greedy, and then they threw a pity party and a sympathy scene to try to redeem him. The movies ere way too stretched out to begin with. Should've been one movie, and the dwarves should've gotten more characterization besides being fat or having beards and little lines. They were practically extras by the end of the trilogy. Smh you can ask the actor of Oin himself, he admitted the sad truth. It was such a money grab
The nearest thing to reality was the beach landing in "Saving Private Ryan" they couldn't convey the stench on celluloid but the gore and horror were somewhat close to real combat. May all those who perished in such charges rest in eternal peace.

Thomas Longrigg I agree. Never gets old. I also think #10 should have been in the top 5.
Thomas Longrigg Theres a million things wrong with the charge of the Rohirrim.
1. No horse armor, and lets charge into a wall of pikes. Genius.
2. Only like a few of the horsemen have lances, so they're just going to get impaled by pikes until the pikeman falls down, with like 4 dead horses under his belt because that cavalry line is huge and decieded it'd be smart to charge into one ball of horsemeat.
3. No flanking was done when that much cavalry was deployed.
Common sense was clearly thrown out the window.
Demo pan Why you are wrong.
1. Considering the amount of cavalry that the Rohirrim had and how much time it would have taken to equip all of those horses with armor would have taken way too long and Minas Tirith would most likely have fallen or would be extremely close to it if they had decided too. What wall of pikes if you pay attention alot of archers were at the front line or very close to it when the cavalry arrived and the pikemen ( or pikeorcs ) were fleeing which means there pikes are facing the other way and the orcs that are not fleeing are smaller than humans ( correct me if i am wrong ) and would have been trampled by the sheer momentum and force of the charge.
2. If you look at the beginning scenes of the charge since there all grouped then, you see lots of them have spears and they would not "just gonna get impaled" because of what i said earlier. ^^^^^^^^
3. Most likely if they would have moved troops into an effective flanking position they would have been spotted much sooner which would have giving the orcs alot of preparation time and considering the amount of forces the orcs had if the Rohirrim were to split its troops it would not have as much momentum or sheer power to push through all of the orc forces like they did.
The lord of the Rings is has my favorite movies and is my favorite trilogy in it which is why i took the time to do this.
MistyGamingForLife If the moron spent 10 more minutes to have the other half of the cavalry charge through the other side, they would have killed the orcs much quicker.
Also, the rapid deployment is a valid reason for no armor, but this lack of horse armor has been seen throughout the movies. Like in the other charge at the end of the video.
MistyGamingForLife Think he is getting the charge on Helms Deep mixed up with Minas Tirith.
The Batman one should be in top 10 worst charges of all time
For you
"Swastika" jokes on you mate, I'm a guy on a girls account :) you should change your name to Spaztika, it fits you better

Damn this subcomment section is intense
How have this charge but not the fort wagner charge from glory
Ride of the Rohirrim is by far THE best charge in whole cinematic history
1. Waterloo 1972. Finest charge on film
‘Glory’ should be somewhere on here too
Also there is a film on the Charge of the Light brigade, should be here
Just finished watching Glory. Gave me big chills
Idk, is say the charge of the winged hussars from day of the siege is rather chilling.
Fort Wagner charge is an awesome battle
Charge of winged hussars from the Polish film The Deluge of 1974
The two towers may not be the greatest charge of all time but it definitely is the best “here comes the Calvary” moment ever
the batman one is laughable...
its not bad, but didnt deserve to be in this top
@@rafiky3703
Why were cops charging a mob who had automatic weaponry?
Why is it that the fucking police only carry pistols and are placed in the front whereas there are easily more capable swat officers with better armor placed in the back? And why didn't the police bring officers with riot shields and automatic guns rather than their pistols and caps? Makes no sense to me :/
To make it look more epic
Ridiculous excuse of a film
The fact that they dont have the final scene from Zulu makes me die inside
Same here.
And the Scots grey charge from Waterloo
Fire an advance!
Forgot to mention the charges in: “Spartacus” (1960), “El Cid” (1961), “Lawrence of Arabia” (1962), “Zulu” (1964), “Glory” (1989), “We Were Soldiers” (2002), “Troy.” (2004).
And narnia ..not in the list too
And Waterloo
I was expecting to see the final charge in Zulu on this list.
gettysburg (1993) gotta be my favorite bayonet charge scene.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly might deserve an honorable mention. No heroic music or hand-to-hand closeups, but still a respectable attempt at staying true-to-period, with the creative attention mainly focused on the buildup, but the actual close combat only shown from a distance and largely left to the imagination - probably since the result of the combat is not relevant to the story the movie is telling.
Of course, this also adds an interesting perspective - possibly rare in cinema - where a battle is shown in some detail despite the fact that none of the main characters has any vested interest in it's outcome. And the level of detail is huge - it actually held the world record for some decades iirc, for most people ever used in the filming of a battle.
Gettysburg is my personal favorite. The attention to detail and the passion that went into making it not just by the main actors and crew but the hundreds (thousands?) of re-enactors that volunteered their time and own costumes and props. Awesome.
100% agree! Gettysburg is my favorite too!
That score in Gettysburg is one of the things that makes the scene so powerful.
Also, where is San Juan Hill from the Tom Berenger Rough Riders movie?
The score is indeed beautiful and powerful ❤
"The Dark Knight Rides" is so pathetically unrealistic it should be listed as the number one most comical charge. Only "Band Of Brothers" and "Gettysburg" was done with the intent of capturing realism.
Who gives a shit
You know what I don't like about movies? I dont like that the actors don't actually die. What the fuck is this? As soon as the scene is over they just stand walk away like nothing happened. Unacceptabe and unrealistic if you ask me.

Where is the charge of the Heavy Cavalry (Waterloo)????? I mean come on... If your going to have Band of Brothers (charge scene??? ) or even Alexander you could have at least put it at the bottom!

You fucked up
fook yu I've always found the DKR scene to be fairly "believable." Anyone who's fired a fully automatic or even semi-automatic firearm can tell you that you can be pretty inaccurate if untrained. Especially if under pressure.
danaolsongaming On top of that most of those AR's being used there has a pretty high kickback when fired full auto.
+The indiegamer however given the sheer number of them being fired and the fact that at least a few of these hardened criminals must have fired on in the past youd expect more deaths on the side of the police
they're firing into an open crowd dude
+fook yu yeah they should of all been massacred
The charges in Zulu (1964) are truly scary from both sides and deserve to be in your list.
Ironic when the two charges from 'Lord of Rings' are more historically accurate than those from 'the patriot' or 'brave heart' At least Lord of the Rings followed Tolkien's script whereas brave heart and the patriot were pure fantasy. Now that is irony for all of you who don't understand the concept.
Ok? Make your own Top 10 video and stop using your whiney ass complaints.
@@nuttybangerz Oh no not constructive criticism
Braveheart was based off a novel not the actual events, similar to how 300 was based of a comic
The “history” in Tolkien’s book was already embellished enough, the battle of cow pens however wasn’t. Also the patriot was not meant to be a documentary, but a story romanticizing the American revolution, which it did extremely well.
‘Patriot’ aka ‘Traitor’ was another of Gibson’s attempts to instil hatred of the English/British into yanks who rely on films and not research for history. What next, Gibson alone - as an all American hero - holding off a million Zulus with a toothpick in a new version of ZULU?

Ahmen brother. That's is spine tingling.
Thank you, BF....I agree. Should have been here, no question!
+BF3xXShadowierXxBF4 And 'The clean up' from The thin red line.
The Scots greys cavalry charge in waterloo (with the epic slow motion frontal camera view) is by far the greatest charge I’ve ever seen in a movie, it literally gives me goosebumps
Real soldiers-no cgi.
In the Return of the King, the book, the charge of the Rohan is pretty goddamn epic, "Théoden commands his Riders into battle with a great cry “more clear than any there had ever heard a mortal man achieve.”" And the line about his golden shield being uncovered. Ya, the book is fucking epic. But the movie did it good justice.

A few glorious charges mixed with a shitfest. I mean Batman fer fucks sake. What no Picketts charge? No charge of the light brigade? No Scot gray's from Waterloo, No Zulu's at Rorkes drift? Nothing from The Pacific? Jeez!
Johnny Solipsis Waterloo and Zulu, both awesome films.
Johnny Solipsis yon are right but yon miss one charge, charge from enemy at the gates
Kian Kier Fair point.
Also an awesome film.
Well if any movies about the Pacific Theater in WW2 were put in this list, there will be a shit ton of Banzai charges, but come on, put at least one Banzai charge in the list. Would've been a better choice than The Dark Knight Rises.
That dude at 1:01

I was wondering too.. No gunshot at all.. He must be acted to be dead for saving his life.
@@gumelarpurwatara2425 yea lmaoo xD
Couldnt catch his breath
I can very faintly hear a rifle firing in the distance right before the guy dies. Probably masked by the battle cries and music.
I was an extra, for the Pickett's Charge scenes, in "Gettysburg". The Charge of the 20th Maine, at Little Round Top, was what saved the Union line, and decided Lee's disastrous attack, on July 3,1863. Few people, know that Company B, took part in the charge and were the only ones who still had ammunition. They fired into the Confederate troops attacking, as Chamberlain, was counter-attacking downhill. There were also a unit of Berdan's Sharpshooters on the extreme left, as well.
That is super cool that you got to be an extra for the movie!
There's a show called Blood and Fury americas civil war, that did an episode all about the sharpshooters. Well worth tracking down. I saw one video which quoted a confederate who said that the fire from company B was the strew that broke the camel's back, and made them retreat.

I will never forgive you.
The Patriot is a much better film
Colin S are you mad?
The Patriot is a biased movie based off of braveheart, and it’s not fun to watch a set reotypical story with no historical accuracy.
The Lord of the Rings is a world renowned series, known for having some of the best movie scenes of all time.
@@shiftyguggs2415 Except for the fact that the French support for the insurgents is ridiculously ignored. I mean, seriously, this movie shows ONE French officer and a few ships at the end, with some comment going like (if I remember well) : "Then the French FINALLY arrived".
Yeah, because, everybody knows that they stopped for lunch, then a nap, took a couple of wrong turns, and so on.
In other words, the war was pretty much over when they came up.
Yann Fourn well the French did help America by giving them weapons supplies etc. but America then saved them in ww2 so I guess call it even
@@shiftyguggs2415 And, here we go again.
"The French did help America by giving them WEAPONS, SUPPLIES, ETC."
Right !
Keep going like that and in a hundred years, so-called American historians will claim that we sent you a couple of parcel of food and a christmas card.
At least 10 000 French soldiers were sent to America with dozens of ships.
As for WWII, "I guess call it even" ?
If
only.
Since this time you have been calling us all kinds of names (starting with "losers"), even threatening us in the past decades.
French are so despised in America that having French origins or knowing the language can be used against you if you are in politics.
The French are mocked and/or insulted in all American medias (TV, cinema, novels newspapers, comic-books, etc.) and still, for whatever reason I cannot fathom, if we don't stand at attention for our lords and masters, you'll cry that we "hate" you.
Personnally, I'm tired of this shit.

That one was actually the most realistic one. Disorganized confusion and the officers struggling to keep everyone together in the same direction with most people doing everything they can to not be in front. In real battles things moved very slowly as it was most important to keep formation if t turned into a rabble you could get wrecked. Even cavalry charges were more like riding into range and playing pokey pokey stabbey stabbey then backing off trying to pick off people until one side had enough and retreated. Bows and arrows couldn't do much damage against even light armour except lucky exposed shots. Horse charging would do serious damage for sure but it would be suicide. Pike lines stop horses dead, you basically accomplish mangling the front line and then you are dead. Cannon balls accomplish the same thing without suiciding extremely expensive horses and trained soldiers.
He died so you can write this comment today.
What about ' Glory " ? The end says it all.
Exactly
The Charge of the Light Brigade, 1968, a film that possibly shows one of the most factually correct depictions of a 19th century cavalry charge ever made. No hype, no Hollywood bullshit, just a brutal depiction of a light cavalry brigade maintaining order under constant fire as it moved from walk, to trot, to canter, to the charge over the last 200 yards. A true depiction of history. A desperate charged made by very brave men that never questioned the order once it was given.
Don't forget Waterloo
@@kyleJohn1997 Waterloo didn’t accurately depict any of the various cavalry charges made during the battle. Waterloo stands as the only film to depict this battle, but it was poorly scripted, and poorly executed. The main players all gave great performances, but these were wasted on a poorly conceived film. Its depiction of the battle has more to do with Hollywood script writing than the accurate reality of an early 19th century battle. I really wish someone would remake the film.
"For Frodo" should've been #1. No contest.
Ride of the Rohirrim honestly would beat any two words some ranger from the north could utter.
@Tom Bombadil holy shit it's actually Tom Bombadil
ride of the rohirrim was the best

Word
Also forgot Pickett’s Charge from the movie Gettysburg.
You mean "Pickett's Meandering Advance at a Walk", under fire for over a mile? Charge is a relative term. It took Pickett 30 minutes to cross that field, a cavalry unit could cover it in 5 minutes. And still have failed.
Not really glorious when it was a delusional move by an overconfident bunch of slavers
preppychrisbou that was more of a heroic failure than anything
Yeah I couldn't believe the Gettysburg clip didn't include that but then he includes a bunch of fantasy crap.
Because the historical context, when you have it, shows what a dogshit idea it was
This video is not only a way of entertaining us, but it’s giving us the fire and wisdom to do anything in life. When your back against the wall, the odds are against you. It’s better to die fighting with honor then to run with dishonor. Plus it’s also teaching us many other life lessons
Woody.EXE’s horse charging was better, I was impressed on how Mummy was riding because she wanted justice for Queen Elizabeth and I got it
Where is the hell charges of french and british cavallery from "Waterloo", charges of Winged guissars, charge from "Mongol", change from "The Lighrhorsemen", charge from "Kindom of Heaven" etc?
Just 2 charges from your top-10 are really top: Ride of Rohirim and charge from "The Last Samurai".
IMO: The battle for helms deep is ALWAYS going to be number 1 for me. That battle had everything you wanted in suspense and then the charge at the end with the music behind it. Hands down one of the best scene ever created in film. 2nd would be the scene from the last samurai, the end of that charge when the artillery commander with the pain in his face went against orders and stopped firing and everyone just bowed in respect. Both of those scenes pull at every emotion. 3rd would be the charge at Pelennor Fields with the Rohirrim. However, as epic as that charge was i've always put the battle for Helms deep higher in my list. Gladiator, Braveheart, and Batman just seem very anticlimactic. Everything else was good as well. Over all good job on the video, Great watch!
IN THE NAME OF ZEUS, ATTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!
Don't forget it's Alexander, his Ego was bigger than his Empire
Guess no one has ever seen Zulu Dawn. Best charge on film. No cgi, incredible camera views, thousands and thousands of Zulu charging the red thin line. Crazy underrated movie

Instead, immediately following the battle, the 2nd battallion of the 7th Cavalry ran into a concealed NVA batallion which shot the Americans to pieces. American losses: 155 dead, 124 wounded. But for some reason they do not show this in the movie.

It was the largest cavalry charge in history.
Ya and kept from Austria becoming part of the ottoman empire too I believe.

Don't do that
1) it makes you a coward

3) if the enemy wins, they'll kill/ capture everyone that's not dead
4) if your side wins, you'll be executed for desertion.
5) if you're not in the last rank, there will be dozens of soldiers behind you trampling you to death as you lie there (maybe even cavalry or tanks)

@@niccolomachiavelli8763 dude the Hobbit didn't have the pure weight of three GOOD movies behind it. The cinematic gravity, with the music, the characterization of King Théoden finally facing death....that beats any hobbit charge. Thorin was just an aingsty, stuck up short man who was always greedy, and then they threw a pity party and a sympathy scene to try to redeem him. The movies ere way too stretched out to begin with.
