I would know, since I was there. We filmed for two days. However, we had to get there at various intervals during the night to check in, get our costumes and props, and then sit in holding waiting for the sun to come up so we could shoot. And they filmed the charge so many different ways and to cut the action, they blew power horns. Believe me, it takes so much to get this stuff to work.

That's amazing

Wish I was there

Well, this scene was filmed in NYC in the autumn. The snow is fake.

Director: Ok... I want 300 cops, and 300 mercanaries... Casting guy: why? Director: I want to see them charge eachother in a massive brawl Casting Guy: ...I volunteer

AzerGhost16 No like seriously, because If he wants one, I can send him one in the mail?

That's nonsense. Being a cop is a 9to5 job (unless ur working the 2nd or 3rd shift). First thing these 'badge-wearing civil heroes' would do is go home to their families first, take a much needed showers, eat whatever's left in the fridge during these hard times, and ponder on how to come back at Bane's goons with their trusty sidearm, because that's all they were left with. This scene of rushing against terrorists with assault rifles and tanks with the all-or-nothing-attitude is some pure Spartacus bullshit. Batman would not want these cops to do something so foolish as this crap, but in the movie all he does is destroy one out of three fuckin tanks and then flies off??

antediluvian99 Agreed. If these films were supposed to have won me over with their 'gritty realism', 'dark tone', etc..., this whole sequence pretty much fucks up all of that in one fell swoop. I prefer the alternate universe of...well, the previous movie in the trilogy, where the cops were a severely-flawed lot who were generally helpful to Batman's cause but also only human and capable of abetting some of the movie's worst disasters. Here, they're just waiting in the tunnel like the multi-ball option in the Batman-saves-Gotham pinball machine....no depth whatsoever.

antediluvian99 Even with the Bat-Chopper or whatever his flying device is supposed to be called, remember: Batman took an oath never to turn a gun on a human! Blasting Bane's men with that thing's guns would have been really convenient, but also totally non-Batman.

antediluvian99 WHAAAAT? Who cares about schedules and showers when there's a BOMB about to annihilate you and your city!? Besides, if they did waste time doing that sort of stuff after getting out, Bane would have caught on and purged them in nothing flat.

+UltimateGeek710 Still a great film tho

Still my favorite scene of any comic book movie!

The best part is that all the people in the fight were actually there and no cgi was added to make it look like there were more people

True. I was one of the thugs on the set that day. We shot this so many ways.

+sha11235 Really?? Did you meet Chris or Tom or anyone?

yeah ikr

same

1:14*

At least no CGI except for The Bat

Absolutely

They were all pissed off for being trapped in those tunnels for five months anyway. I know if I had been one of the cops trapped down there, I'd be hitting the thugs so hard that even Rodney King wouldn't believe it!

@@sha11235 sheesh

@@helafinwe This is the third movie. We have Batman Begins, The Dark Night and The Dark Knight Rises. Even I got lost at first.

Cops are the opposite of “the people” lmao This shows cops literally charging at the people to beat them down after they finally took control of their city

Are you seriously going to try and claim that Band's army is not a Radical Terror Group I guess they're the people in the Jacobin sense, but that is not really something you want to be compared with.

@@smonkedweed7414 So are you saying that the cops shouldn't try and retake the city from a group of people threatening to blow the entire city up with a nuclear weapon? The city was in good shape. They'd gotten rid of the mobs and other organized crime, the kind that would slit the throats of your family in the night if you got in their way or could possibly be a witness to their crimes. There wasn't exactly a big corruption problem anymore. Besides, how would it be better for the people to be put into a lawless balkanized state where you could have neighborhood fighting with neighborhood and mock trials with punishments far outweighing any alleged crime? The cops had the knowledge that the city was about to be nuked, that if they didn't retake the city there wouldn't be a city anymore. Doesn't that make a difference? Looks to me like they are giving a beat down to exactly the people they should be beating down.

Or the Baltimore riots

How about the LA riots in 1992?

More like the only Cop Riot in history

Fullmetal Maine absolutely ....the cops charged at full speed against those auto rifles...rioters normally wont do that....they hesitate...

*fictional history.

Lol

Because the movie is grounded in a sense of reality. I honestly hate people who can't grasp what the 4th wall is, and how we suspend our disbelief.

Yasss

Full body and head armour exists in real life as do VTOL aircraft, and Nolan's films are often cited as being somewhat "realistic" so it seems odd that more officers weren't killed.

I dig it

@@maxpalombella11 "Full body and head armor exists" No, it doesn't. No body armor can stop a bullet fired from a modern-day rifle.

@@skar8009 Let me see your war face!!!!!

+darthen856 Possible storm trooper ancestry.

+Tate Cash Shared universe??!?

Their bad aim is mostly psychological. Only about 1/4 of untrained people will fire in the direction of the enemy, and about 1/50 or 2% will actually shoot to kill. When dealing with another species we have the fight or flight response. However, when dealing with our own species to other options become available. That makes the choices fight, flight, posture, and submit. Try to kill them, run away, intimidate them into running or submitting, or you put up your hands and surrender. Most of the thugs shooting at the cops in this case are not trying to kill them, but are trying to intimidate or scare them into running away or surrendering. And in that case the loud noises made by the gun are ideal. This is why the slow firing inaccurate muskets were preferred over the quickly firing and far more accurate bow and arrow. Th musket is louder, and therefore is a lot better at being used for intimidation. This is because the vast majority of people do not want to kill another person under any circumstances. Nevertheless, the United States Military has been able to get that 2% number up to between 90% and 95%. That means our soldiers fire over 40 times the efficiency of most of our opponents around the world. This was done by switching to firing at silhouettes of people rather than circular targets, getting the soldiers more used to the idea and to develop a habit of shooting another person. There's quite a bit more to it, but that's the basic reasoning.

+Michael Jensen That's not completely accurate.

Ryan Swaggert or maybe the cops are wearing protective kevlar.

Yeees, that kind of scenes give me chills (My English is bad, sorry)

Same here. That's one of my favourite movie scenes always.

No but it needs to be.

@USA#1 !! the goal should be to stop ot while its contained in the cities. Once the big cities fall it will be in the suburbs. Do not ignore it now. Deal with it now. Be proactive not reactive

Batman is here fight back everyone.

Some of the extras were faking their punches of course. We didn't want anyone to get hurt.

Damn I have to hurt you but I don’t want it

Cop just realized it's his friend from high school. So cop and thug decided to fake fight so they don't have to fight others and get hurt.

@@lifeisgroovy1148 Fights in films are always choreographed for safety.

@Connor Isn't he dead now? Yes, maybe that's the reason he died.

There's a difference between improbable and unrealistic. A flying bat mobile are things that are a generally accepted function within the movie's reality. As improbable as it is for a flying bat mobile to function in real life, we suspend our disbelief to accept that it can happen in that world. Shooting waves of people that should account to hundreds of dead bodies is also improbable to borderline unrealistic (It's debatable). Unrealistic would be something along the lines of the Indiana Jones movies (i.e. Surviving a nuke by hiding in a fridge).

The Bat used in the film is a real military fighter jet. They just painted it black and took shots of the front and CGI'ed the back. No really unrealistic at all. Nothing about TDKR was unrealistic

and the criminals are stupid. they had more guns and ammo than the police, so they should have just shot them when they had the chance instead of engaging them in close combat.

William Thompson most of them are from Arkham or blackgate and most petty criminal in Gotham aren’t smart

William Thompson even if they did.they still would only be able to kill a quarter of those police officers which would still leave a lot of officers to deal with.

Unit23OnPatrol as soon as I read this all the cops started running lmao

True

Ben Flagg Yea, a cop who shot a wannabe gangsta who had just assaulted and robbed a store owner (who also represented a racial minority) and then proceeded to threaten the cop and attempt to gain control of the cop's firearm, was definitely a 'bad' guy.

MrRobertSama Unfortunately what I have said was verified by many witnesses. Feel free to provide a professional source where the store owner says he was not robbed.

Then it would be a bloodbath in there.

Me. And I worked on this anyway as one of the goons. You can't see me though, I was way in the back.

Without being well trained, when the moment comes to kill another person 3 out of 4 people can't get themselves to do it. The result of which is firing away and purposely missing. (I'm referencing the book, 'On Killing' by David Grossman) That is why our soldiers are trained often to charge head on into enemy fire. There lack of disciplined training makes them miss most of the time, and our superior training helps us to hit our target most of the time. That is one of the primary reasons our enemies have so many more casualties. A perfect example of this is the final battle in the movie 'Tears of the Sun'. So the goons' lack of aim at the charging police makes perfect sense.

+Michael Jensen no... there are hundreds of guys with automatic weapons opening fire into a condensed group of charging enemies from 20 meters and closing... A fuck ton of the police are going to die

+DavidStnl83 most of these criminals probably have never shot a gun before. Which means most of their shots either went above the cops or below them. Just because you got a big gun doesn't make you threatening unless you know how to use it. These criminals are like children as most are in the real world because they think just because they have a powerful weapon in their hand automatically means they're the best in the world when that is far from the truth. So it makes a lot of sense that not that many cops died. Cops are trained and criminals are just amateurs. You probably play way too many shooters that makes shooting a gun look easy

+channelnw true there rifles would have clicked empty within ten seconds of full auto fire

+DavidStnl83 For Bane it is about giving the cops false hope. Here the police are fighting for a chance to live and Bane knows that the bomb will go off and kill them all so it doesn't matter if his men shoot them down or not. if anything making them think they have a chance when they don't have one is more evil and it is Banes way of torchering Gotham to the very end

AL EX not the first time

To be fair, regular police academy doesn’t include fighting on ice with Ra’s al Ghul.

I am pretty sure that fighting supervillains is not the responsibility of Gotham police. They leave that to Batman.

Justice. Not vengeance.
