The first time a real Tiger tank has been used for a movie. I'm excited for the film.

My excitement for it is tempered by the fact that Shia Lebeuf is in it.
Hopefully his character dies early on...

Labeuf ruins everything he's in for me.
Might have to check it out for the Tiger tank though. I've had a fascination with tanks since I was a little kid. The Tiger, King Tiger, and Panther were some of the best tank designs of WWll. As a side note, if your familiar with the Haynes automotive manuals, they put out a owner's manual for the Tiger.It actually documents the restoration of a Tiger tank, rather than an actual owners manual.  Still I couldn't resist. An interesting read none the less.

A couple new photos at the link. Still looking great.
http://www.people.com/article/brad-pitt-fury-exclusive-photos But the film's biggest stars may just be the ones made of metal, including an authentic German Tiger tank on loan from a museum.
"I couldn't tell you how much insurance this thing had on it – it was crazy," says Ayer. "It actually ended up performing really well. It's like the tank was happy to get out of the barn and run around. These tanks like to run hard. That's what they're built for." |

The Panther in Fury is legit, but it's an empty shell that's only outwardly cosmetically restored, belongs to a collector in England (not Wheatcroft).

I don't mind Shia, I think he picks a lot of bad roles and has scripts with poor dialogue. Wouldn't give him the keys to my ride, though.
Didn't like Pitt until I saw "12 Monkeys." Then I was convinced he could act. I'm a huge armor-fiend and have been wanting a good tank movie. I even wrote a screenplay for a mini-series set in the Fulda Gap. So I am going to this opening day. |

The Bovington Tiger 131 is the true star of the movie, the only fully operational PzKpfw VI Ausf. H left in the world. They even built several mockups to "destroy" during filming. I will try to stomach Pitt and LeBouf in order to see the movie.

I'm excited for this. Not enough tank movies around. I like how they had the World of Tanks guys go out there and take a look too, thought that was a kinda interesting way to get in with their fan base. Panzer 88 needs to get out of Dev Hell too and come out. I want to see the main gun on a tiger take a poke at a demon.

Go on Facebook and like Axis Track Services. They have pictures up of the various film pieces from Fury, including the replica Tiger they build on a CVRT hull for filming, and the Sherman filming replica too.

I saw it last night, and it was really good. Some people bitch about the graphic violence but I think it drives home some of the realities of war. The acting was great, and each actor made their character their own. I highly recommend going to this movie!
Now its time to wait for American Sniper to hit the theaters

The movie has just about every cliché in it but the second half of it was honestly terrific. And believe it or not, while he spends most of the movie in tears Shia Laboef or however you say his name isn't too bad in it. He's believable in his role.

I thought it was trying too hard at times and the house scene was somewhat surreal, but it was all leading to the film and story trying to justify itself. On a personal note, the cinematography is a bit on the dark side, and in keeping with the style of war movie since SPR and BoB, the semi sepia colour format is a bit draining. I enjoyed it though, although maybe not as much as I expected. |

It was better than I thought it'd be. As I told my Dad when leaving, the brief fight to take the small town, with ambushes around every corner, and of course the duel with the Tiger was more realistic and less hollywood than the rambo ending.
Another question, would the soldiers (like the Waffen SS trooper at the end looking under the tank) have had flashlights like that? |

It was OK.
I particularly enjoyed the Waffen SS doing a frontal approach to a detracked tank that's firing at them with everything it's got. And then doing a frontal again. and again. Also enjoyed the nice quiet conversations down in the hull, while that sucker is rolling.  sigh. I had hopes. |

Just got home from seeing this.
Overall excellent film one of the best WWII films ever, very gritty, very realistic. I was a Bradley Gunner in the Army and it felt very familiar. The only scene I thought was off the mark was in the German women's apartment after the other crew members crash the dinner. It was even awkward to watch and I kept wondering what the point was. Okay the FNG fell in love and Aldo Raines just wanted a quiet meal, so...what? They we all acting out of character in disrespecting their O'Captain, My Captain. They became very unsympathetic. Brads feeble attempt's at containing his breakdowns (ala Captain Miller) were forced. And I could have done with a little less Bible thumping. But the combat pieces were nearly perfect. LOVED them. The Tiger duel will be remembered as THE highlight of this film. Exceptional in my opinion. Possible anachronistic gun goof. What were the grips of Brad's pistol made out of, glass? I don't think Lexan was invented yet, maybe clear molded epoxy? Great film. 8/10 A must have for my war films collection. |

I saw it today as well. My grandfather was a Sherman Tank driver in the Pacific.
Pretty intense overall. Story was a bit formulaic. Ending epic fight was pretty good, if a bit ... unrealistic. Outcome was pretty much equal to Private Ryan's. Shia LaBeouf actually did a great job, first time I've seen his character and Not Him. Showed some hypocrisy in relationships between Us and Them as well as between the crew members. Tried to show some Germans as not all monsters, showed us as a few monsters among good men. I think Private Ryan is probably the better WWII film, but this is worth seeing. The battle with the (actually pulled out of a museum) Tiger was really cool. Makes me want to fire up War Thunder and work on my tankery skills... And of course, makes me think hard about what our combat veterans went through, not just in WWII, but Korea, Nam, Iraq and A-Stan. Holy shit. Part of me is SO glad I didn't have to take a turn shooting at people in anger. Part of me wants to know if I could have done anything near what some of these guys had to do. Another part of me is really glad I can sleep safely in my bed at night because of what men like them do for all of us. |

I know the story was to have the crew make a last stand and die Alamo style but it would have been a
better plan to take the two turret mounted MG's (Ma Deuce and the .30 cal.) and set them a couple of hundred yards away and use them as over-watch, raking anyone who got in the tanks blind spots. Also make the enemy think they were against a larger force. |

I cannot remember what they were made of (an early clear plastic if I remember correctly), but there were private purchase grips just like that during the war. I've seen a couple of original examples with pics of loved ones under them. From what I read, in the original (director's?) cut that was about 4 hours long, we see Wardaddy drive drunk and kill his wife/gf in a car wreck. The judge tells him he can either rot in prison or go die for his country. The photos we see in his pistol grips are of his wife/gf that we never saw in the theatrical cut. |

Good movie but very depressing. One question I had, was the M4 really that roomy in the interior? The one I saw seemed smaller but it was many years ago and I never got to see the inside.

All jokes aside, a man near me had a pistol with grips made from a glider window. Ironically, he was a tank commander in WWII. He just died a few months ago. |

It might have been more of a problem than a help.
