Please, accept it.
In fact, a translation of what he said when captured at the end proves it:

I don’t think that’s really much of a debate. The big misconception people get is that Steamboat Willie kills the Jewish soldier with the knife to the heart.
|
|
I said that once and got 30 replies saying I was wrong |
||
|
Of course he did, I realized that the first time I saw it. I was waiting for the shoe to drop after Upham insisted tehy let him go. |
||
|
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY: Steamboat Willie did in fact kill Tom Hanks' character in SPR
translation-I'm home, I'm bored, Sarge is gone, think I'll stir up some dog poo.....lol It's the knife guy people can't get straight. The Upham character wrecks the movie for me-the premise I can overlook for the sake of it all. Gonna come out in January, Goblin? |
|
Actually, no. OLY-M4Gery claimed an SS guy killed Hanks' character in another thread. I felt the need for a correction.
Que? Details? |
||
|
Who doesn't know this?
That's like missing the point of The Chronicles of Narnia (it's really a Pro-Fur statement). |
|
Spoiler alert for a flick that's 6 years old and been on TV ump-teen times already? In that case, here is another spoiler for you -----> Darth Vader is Luke Skaywalker's father Gimmie a break. |

1) Steamboat Willie was Wermarcht 2) The SS soldier, was well SS 3) In the fight between the SS soldier and Mellish, Mellish calls out to Upham by name to come help him. Upham stands there frozen as Mellish is killed. 4) The SS soldier knows Upham's name because Mellish called out to him. 5) Since Upham stood by while Mellish is killed, the SS soldier didn't feel that Upham "had what it took" to be a soldier. |

LOL....
Check out the Hometown forums sometime. Rattle Battle, January 22. Last time we had four other ARFcomers come out and shoot. |
|
Wrong. |
|
|
Wade-killer, Miller-killer, and Upham-killed are the same guy. Knife-killer dude is different.
Is that right? |
|
Yes, a different German killed Mellish, but it was Steamboat Willie that killed Capt. Miller...and then Upham shot Willie.
|
|
Well, its not clear that Steamboat killed Wade....BUT he was a soldier in the position that Wade got killed at. Steamboat Willie killed Miller, that faggot pussy Upham killed Steamboat with that steely killer look in his eye...(yeah, right) |
|
|
yeah and sarge had a m1 carbine instead of an AK. MLW>"< |
|
|
+1 Willie was NOT the SS soldier. He was Wehrmacht. |
|
|
You're gonna make me do screenshots aren't you? It was NOT the SS soldier who killed Hanks or was killed by Upham. It was Steamboat Willie. |
|||
|
I was hoping you would show up. |
|
|
What did the guy who killed Mellish say to him while pushing the knife into his chest?
|
|
You are correct. Post the screen shots anyway...so this can be put to bed forever. |

|
"Shhhhhhh." |
|
|
OooooOOOOOooooo! First up, that's what we in the industry call a "joke". And for the denser among us, I even put a smiley in there to indicate it was, in fact, a joke. Second up, it was irony because someone put "Spoiler alert" on the 2001: A Space Odyssey thread and that movie is almost 40 years old! Gimme a break indeed! |
||
|
What did the guy who killed Mellish say to him while pushing the knife into his chest?
He said look, I washed for supper! |
|
Off-topic, where did the "Steamboat Willie" name for the Wehrmacht dude come from? Is that something that someone called him in the movie, or just a name that has emerged over time among fans? |
|
The German soldier, who is not named, refers to "Steamboat Willie" when first captured and is digging a grave for the squad. "Steamboat Willie! Toot! Toot!" |
|
|
Right - that I remember. Thanks. |
||
|
I was just thinking the same thing? But it went like this in my head, " WTF is steamboat willie?" |
|
|
|
If you intend to use a smilie to convey a joke... don't use one that looks angry. Try one of these not It makes a big difference in getting your point across acuratly. |
|||
|
No, no one is arguing that Willie killed Mellish. |
|
|
For a five year old movie? |
|
|
Mellish: "Wait! What does that mean?" |
||
|
IMDB lists 'Steamboat Willie' in the cast list so it's at least somewhat official SPR at IMDB |
|
|
|
FWIW that's a "wink, wink smile" smiley. Methinks you need Smiley Training. <---- no mistaking that one. I awarded myself Extra Credit Irony for that post too: If you know SPR enough to know who Steamboat Willie is you've probably seen it more than a few times. OK OK sorry for hijacking the thread Wobblin-Goblin. I'm outta here. |

|
Explain something to me.
What the fuck is he called "Steamboat Willie" for? |
|
That will buff out. |
|
|
I think the literal translation is "Don't worry, this will buff right out." Other sources claim that he is actually asking for pie. ETA: 5 seconds gas passer. |
|
|
Were the bent bolt handles on those Mausers accurate? I'm no expert, but I thought the bolt handles were straight on original Mausers.
(And before anybody jumps on the double meaning, I am NOT asking if you can hit targets reliably with the handles) |
|
Scroll up and read the first post on this page. |

Because Spielberg is a racist who hates Germans and seeks to de humanize them by portraying them as charicatures. |

I own the damn movie and have no idea who steam boat willie is.............
WAIT - I GUESS I NEEDED TO TYPE IT. HE SPOUTED IT OUT WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO GET IT..... |
|
Straight bolt is the WWI G98 Mauser Bent bolt is the WWII K98 Mauser (carbine). The K98 is slightly shorter and very accurate. |
