“Your vision problems are not service related.”

"That's Vietnam music, man. Can't we get our own f*****g music" Ouch, that felling

“Our orders are to dig over here” is the most relatable order I ever heard

"They lit up the oil wells" "Ok lads let's go home, we have nothing to do here anymore"

"I came here to fight. I just need to get out of this fucking oil." Very layered dialogue, love this movie.

I love how they do the look back while patrolling. It’s so on point. In the Corps we did a look back every 20 paces

This is my favorite scene, it is as if they have actually passed into hell.

I just loved the fact that it was raining OIL, made the whole thing feel like a dystopian wasteland

I love how they have goggles but half of them aren’t wearing them

Idk how to explain it, but the music in this scene just...encapsulates the scene.

The censoring kind of ruins the beautiful colours of this movie.

How in the world did this movie get a 60% from rotten tomatoes? This movie easily deserved better

It's raining oil. Nobody: Better open my mouth to try and catch some

Its sad this movie was marketed as an action movie. It was unfairly panned by people expecting something totally different. This is one of my favorite movies.

1:06 - one of the best single shots in movie history.

That look when even an experienced NCO has a doubt about something. Never a positive sign.

2:29 My favorite line in the whole movie

I try to imagine being there with these guys, man, so surreal.

i live in kuwait, when my family evacuated and came back in '91, they found a lone cloth on our clothesline that was forgotten that had turned completely black (it was white). Most of the stuff in our apartment was gone...except for a Seiko wall clock that continued ticking. It still ticks to this day. I guess the Japanese do make good stuff.

Now cover yourself in water and- No wait that's backwards..

Imagine censoring a video you don't own, just to make money off of it. It being, as previously mentioned, a video you don't own.

There's something almost other Worldly about the Oil Fields in this scene, especially with the music.

Im suprised the military hasnt invaded mcdonalds because of the oil they use in their fries yet

I joined the Army in 1990. I was 17, going to basic training at Benning May-August 90' between my junior and senior year, OSUT, 11B infantry. There was a HUGE push to get troops into the military at that time, thousands of recruits at the reception station, so many in fact that it took longer than usual to get from reception to the actual training battalions. The rumors were swirling about the persian gulf right when we got there. We didn't have a single MRE the entire time we were there, all the MRE's were stockpiled in preparation for what, at the time, appeared to be a long term involvement if Saddam did in fact invade Kuwait. The drill sergeants were brutal in their psychological harassment of all the Soldiers in our battalion. They would form everyone up at odd hours in the middle of the night, then make announcements like "In the next 24 hours you are all shipping out to prepare for war in the Gulf", then smoke everyone for awhile, then back to bed, back up at 4:30am. I had to go back for high school so I knew this was all a ruse, at least as far as my involvement was concerned. But I can remember guys crying in the middle of the night, and whispering back and forth about heading to war. We all thought we were going into the snit back then, but it was over so fast that we'd barely begun preparations for deployment from my duty station following basic/AIT. This year I'll be 50, with 32 total years in the Army, still at it, albeit an upper level NCO these days. Multiple deployments, but I still remember that original one that most of us never even went on. Seemed very real and scary at the time.

yeah. the oil fields didnt quite go down like that. We weren't digging into literal pools of liquid oil like that. the atmosphere was dead on. I have my cammies from Kuwaite, and it was more like an even coat of freckles turning our gear near black on the top surfaces

That little James Dean thing was honestly acted like extremely well. Like it just came off like the actor just thought it up and did it

I like how the camera isn’t obsessed with the main character and he’s usually just recorded as part of the group

Ah yes raining oil. Great experience... Nothing like black tar on your tent. My lungs have never been the same.

Soldiers: "Holy shit they lit up the oil wells!" America: MISSION FAILED! WE'LL GET EM NEXT TIME

this movie speaks for a lot of veterans. its pretty realistic, while still having a big 'hollywood effect'

The cinematography is so damn good

"Hey fowler, what are you digging over there" "Nothing" "Our orders are to dig over here" "Mind your own f

I would of been like “fowler you taking a shit?”

Soldiers: bathing in oil Oil: So you choose cancer

"That's Vietnam music, man." "Can't we get our own fucking music?"

This is a criminally underrated film...

Hats off to the music team. It's so on point in this entire movie.

When the US discovers an oil painting gallery.

American s after raining oil:You smell that?That s the taste of freedom bois

You know Fowler is just entrenching himself in a solitary position before he lets one fly.

"It's in my eyes it's burnin" Other guy immediately takes of goggles.

“They lit up the oil wells.” Man does the internal screaming intensify

Recently (within the last 6 months of this comment IIRC), there was a study that finally concluded the cause of Gulf War Syndrome. It was originally thought to be some type of PTSD and that's the line that stuck for a long time. Turns out, when the Iraqis set the oil wells on fire and the US blew up weapon silos, it scattered a bunch of nerve gas into the atmosphere. Saddam had chemical weapons in large quantities that were destroyed by the US Air Force early on in the war. Then a bunch of infantry waded right into that shit, as you can see in this scene where they got oil in their lungs, eyes, and mouths. Since the nerve gas from now destroyed depots was in the wind, it "seeped" into the oil which came falling back down. It wasn't in large enough concentrations to do what nerve gas normally does and kill you, but it was in large enough quantities veterans of Desert Storm are still experiencing health problems decades later.

People just didn’t get this movie… it’s really so good.

1:15 - 1:25 I love how this guy got oil in his eyes while he's wearing his goggles, but then Swofford took his off but doesn't react to it like it's water.

1:06 What a phenomenal shot

The earth is bleeding.

1:14 when mom looks through your homework folder

When I heard Lucas Black screaming I had instant flashbacks of Oakley screaming when he got bayoneted in Cold Mountain.....

Love that Jamie Foxx realizes what he's doing to his men and makes the call to move them out of compassion but won't admit it

Then he went to toyko to drift some cars

Modern Marvels: Oil Fire Fighters Risk it All Really good documentary on how they put these oil fire out and their history of doing it

I was with 3rd battalion 1st marines I co and we were at the al wafra oil fields processing and guarding prisoners! Brings back memories!

a tear rolls down uncle Sam's eye

Love the look of the old school Kpot with the goggles. Just a classic style

every scene from this this channel has shown me is a masterpiece of filmmaking Sam Mendes, all these people, went tf in, made something ahead of its time + cool

this scene is just so well done!

me encanta esta peli porque por mas que sea de guerra en ningun momento entran en combate directo con el enemigo, mostrando algo realista y que no todo es explosiones y tiros por todos lados

No matter what branch or agency you serve, on patrol or running a mission or just doing intel, the weirdest stuff just tends to happen and feels like a movie.

"We have deemed your cancer to be unrelated to service"

This looks like hell

What is the point of putting this clip up if it is interrupted constantly by beeping out the swear words

I love the music that starts playing as they walk towards the “Oil-Storm”

Damn now i gotta find out wtf Fowler was doing digging way over there!

Careful that's United States property.

"I came here to fight. Just gotta get out of this oil!" True sentiment of any young man (or woman) who answered the call to fight. Few people discuss the misery; the battle with elements that do often preceed the conflict with man!

All the unique things they saw

The soundtrack that plays in the scene is hauntingly beautiful

Ask old people in Saudi Arabia About the oil rain. They remeber it

I hate that goddamn beep with every inch of my body

the music when they start moving is priceless

0:27 this shot is just soo fcking good.

Fowler couldnt even get peace to update his diary of thoughts for the day.

Esse filme é muito bom!

“Your eye injury is not service related”

"that's Vietnam music.. can't we get our own music?" So underrated.

These scenes just make me thirsty for water

Bill Burr on the priority boarding topic:” have you seen action?” Lol

I was There in (Dessert Storm) And It was Surreal i thought i was Truely in Hell going through the Burning Oil Fields, I'll never forget it 😢😢

Risking your health and your life to protect Halliburton's interests.

DAD TOLD ME ABOUT THIS, HAD HIS EYES NEARLY BEAN IN THAT HEAT

those beeps turns it into a comedy movie

This part of the movie is so beautiful

Great movie amazing cast

Oil raining from the sky: US government has entered the chat

Glad to see Tommy a little more like his brother 😂

I love how Jamie's character is just smh the whole movie like "ugh, i gotta babysit these dumbasses"

I love this movie.

He lives on my block He drives in Iraq And he doesnt give a damn about it oh crap wrong clip

Lmao good luck trying to turn that gear back into CIF 😂

One of my favourite scenes of any movie

One of my good friends Ricky Scott served in Desert Shield and Storm and told me of this story almost 2 decades ago and this movie reminds me of our times telling war stories

I love clips like these but I also love coming here to read the replies of all the comments with over 1k likes.

They were there for the oil, spent all that money but they burnt up the oil wells.

must be nice when your clothing and gear get magically cleaned scene by scene.

Love that acting at 0:13 by Jamie. Like things are not sitting right with him but he's left in the dark about whats really happening. All he can do is focus on *his* mission and on *his* guys.

This is probably what hell looks like

It's such a dope shot with the silhouette of the marine and the fire and oil shooting up

I just love the soundtrack used here

God i fucking love this movie
