P2W OP

This scene gave me goosebumps, when the protagonist looks at his companion being stabbed by two enemy soldiers, I felt the fear in his eyes. by far the best melee battle

Ye the Germans killed 3 of the 7 brits in just the first 20 seconds of them making contact

and its dark but not like dc where you cant see shit

Even though it doesn't beat the original church fight scene, damn is the scene still amazing

I’ve never seen this film and this clip is my first taste. I honestly was not expecting this level of melee. Definitely giving it a watch.

They were the enemy, they couldn’t leave them be and do whatever they would have done on their front and just do their mission.

It's litterally not. This is from a over the top action movie, which features a evil dancing montage from the main villian(Rasputin). If you truly think a scene without any context like this is heartbreaking, you need to get off the computer and go out in the real world.

I felt the same. The movie is so light toned that this heavy scene just doesn't fit. @@Orcawhale1

It’s… really not that deep. Would be nice if it were, but it’s simple pragmatism. Both sides know full well that, if they were to attract the attention of either side’s machine gunners, they’d be dead men (machine guns are already not great at distinguishing friend from foe, and in this darkness even less so). It’s literally a matter of “Everyone calm down; we all know that if we don’t settle this quietly, we’re all dead”

@xanderlowe1543 They agreed to fight with knifes because they know if they make any noise their allies in the trenches are gonna killed them with machine guns. There's nothing friendly or brotherly about it. Each side was sent to raid the other sides trenches and kill the sleeping soldiers, they were unaware their enemy had the same idea, they met in the middle, realized that shooting at each out would cause exactly what happens after the pistol is shot to happen.

don't use words you can't spell

I would love to know more about such encounters. Can you point me to any resources or references?

Likely didn't happen but I remember seeing a ww2 movie where 2 scout squads from America and Germany passed each other on the same path, but they were both looking to the sky because of the bombs and didn't realize the people they just passed were the enemy

@@mushybag I know of so-called "ww1 Christmas Truce" where French and British celebrated Christmas with German soldiers. There is a whole movie about it, it's called "Merry Christmas" I think. Don't know if it's any good though. Acts in WWI where you spontaneously stop fighting each other are known in German as "Leben und leben lassen" (Live and let others live). Maybe this will help you.

@@mushybag I saw bodycam footage about a year ago of both a Ukrainian and a Russian scouting party spotting each other in no man's land. Both parties just avoided each other and kept on with what they were doing.

​@@mushybagsources are hard to find since it's mostly veterans retelling their experience since such encounters wouldn't be recorded due to be seen as treason. And many veterans never lived to record their tale or just didn't want too. But it is likely through human nature and poor communication avoidance of combat may have happened more than we realise.

war is hell, men become animals

Yea dude imagine dying, deep.

okay but what about the poor bloke pinned down and shanked by two guys

And the fact that it may have been another teenage boy who killed you in such a brutal fashion. Survival

​@ngonzales3781 dying isn't the issue here, it's the brutality of it that's just harrowing. Imagine telling his mother that the boy u nurtured and cared for died such an excruciating death because some politicians wanted to wave their dicks around.

Ikr, I love it

Definitely one of the best modern ww1 melee depictions. Plus it’s a part of realism in a spy movie so even better😊

though had it been realistic they would all have been shot or blown up, cause snipers

@@hornet370 snipers at night were a thing back then? and they did get shot after making a noise, so I don't really understand. furthermore, I doubt they'd shoot artillery at them when they had machine guns at the ready.

Yep, and it doesn't feel honorable when you're getting shanked in the dark by multiple men.

Honor can have a role to play before and after a fight. But being honorable in the middle of a fight is a good way to get killed.

Wow. Very well written. Never thought of it that way

@@brysonjolls4302 the directors didn't either

Fighting in a gas mask while there are no gasses is simply wrong. This makes breathing difficult and greatly diminishes your endurance and resilience.

@@Briselanceit’s also obvious that they are the bad guys because they’re the ones wearing the spooky looking masks

​@Briselance yes but makes ya look scary asf

@@Briselancesome were so traumatized by gas that they would continue to wear their masks even when there was no gas present

@@deceitfulwizard7969 well except these are stormtroopers, soldiers who are more skilled and efficient at storming trenches before the main assault so these men know how and when to use gas masks. they are trying to be silent while crawling through no mans land so why some of them would be wearing a mask that make quite a bit of noise when breathing doesn`t make sense, and noise in the dark travel far and the tiniest noise gives away your location. these are men who have been at war for quite some times and been trained for the jobs they are tying to perform, the cloaks are perfect for their mission as it kind of makes it hard to see a person in a blanket compared to looking a dark dirt. so in summary: these aren`t your regular infantry who might be scared that a night time gas attack is coming, these are trained trench raiders who are "experts" on conducting trench raiding to disrupt or cause confusing in the ranks of the enemy. they know/should know that they have to keep noise to a bare minimum so putting on a gas mask that causes your breathing to make more noise when you try to be quiet and your life is at death`s door the entire time. they know when to use their gas masks and this was not that time, and they should know it. this does not mean that i think the stormtroopers were fearless elite soldiers, but that trained specially troops knew when to use their mask. doing a nighttime raid mission where the slightest Nosie gets you killed, and the fact not all of the stormtroopers were wearing their gas masks, so their sgt or similar would tell the men not to use the gas mask as i would get them killed. all in all its just a movie thing to make the enemy seem scary and faceless guys who is just a faceless thing with no feelings. well except that one guy who got his mask removed.

@@neroidius6915 no, the original comment was implying that there's some sort of honorable agreement between the opposing sides. in reality, it's just them being pragmatic with no sort of honor involved.

it's a shame that the movie wasn't that well received both critically and box office, i personally love this movie, not only this scene but the entire movie

@@diskmort I can't understand why they don't like it

The general broke the unspoken rule of not using guns. Had he actually been honorable the hammer German would have killed them both. Trying to fight war honorably ensures your death and defeat. That's why it's horrible. You have to sacrifice your dignity ans honor if you want to save your brothers in arms and yourself.

​​​@@RAAM855 1st in the scene they they ganged up on one soldier there was no honor at that point. The Germans lost there honor by first Invading neutral Belgium committed war crimes and rapes than. Then which was seen at the time considered cowardly Is an embarrassing by high command. German then Build trenches which To them was considered cowardly that made the war worst Then bringing the unspeakable weapon of the war Is chemical gas im pretty I'm pretty sure at that point they lost honor and didn't care at that piont. Don't act like you won't to do the same thing in the situation in the fighting scene I'm not letting my comrades die for so called honor puls they gang up on one of there boys. Aslo cringe profile pic Acting like a fake tough guy lol😂

I don't know about honor they just gang up on one soldier stab him to death there nothing but honor in that. The way I see it both parties agree in melee so all would not die.

@@ym6294 bro you use laughing emojis unironically and are loling at your own comebacks. This ain't tik tok. There's no more cringe left to give cause you took it all.

@@ym6294that’s exactly what it was, because as soon as a shot is fired, both parties would be fired upon by both sides, cuz no one knows if they are allied or not

The gas masks made their breathing more quieter so the French resistance that they we’re fighting couldn’t hear them as well so they sneak attack them

@@mggoootheboss they're in a British sector of nomansland

Yeah it's a good scene though the concept that a side would send out a raid and not alert their own sentrys is a bit of a stretch, mildly unrealistic tbh. Also the guy wearing a gas mask looks cool sure. Though it would be uncomfortable, harder to breathe in and hampered vison. Definitely not something you would wear if you didn't have to, let alone go to a fight in lol

The mp18 caught me off-guard aswell.Aside from it even being there, If they all had rifles and pistols, the "shhh" would make sense. He could easily wipe them out with that one mag but yeah, movies.

Prior to this scene had a ballet fight with Rasputin. I don't think historical accuracy should be considered here, lol

Yea ww1 trench warfare is probably the most brutal trench warfare we've seen many because of the machine gun. We hadn't adapted yet to such rapid firing weapons so they co tinued fighting in old formations.....just a straight meat grinder

During a trench raid (or even during these night endevours) they would grab a pistol, and like 5 grenades each. If you get into more danger than you can handle, toss a grenade and hastily sneak back to your own side. It's a cool movie, but no one would fight "just to fight" like this, especially choosing a melee battle lol

@@gronizherz3603 Indeed

@@quanage4296 Agreed, I've read a lot of WWI history

Night raids did happen but were if what little was reported is to be believed have any credance they were a mixed bag of results

​@@Year_of_the_Dellwell, night raid party's from both sides definitely is unlikely, but due to how large scale the conflict was, I have reason to believe something like this happened at least once during WW1

While night "raids" (like attacks at the enemy trench or sentries) weren't too common, doing sneaky things during the night definitely were. Wether recon to see what the enemy were up to, repairing or putting up obstacles like barbed wire in no man's land, or cutting through the enemy's such obstacles, there was a lot going on at night.

a simple spike like that (basically a dagger that also protects your hand/forearm) is a lot less sadistic than a blunt weapon or a blade with saw teeth.

Doesn't look ridiculous, only a kid who thinks katanas are the best weapons ever made would believe that.

They did but wasnt so sure

They never had a choice in the first place. What you gonna do? Back off and leave your buddies to fight. Even if both sides agreed not to fight, they would just go back to their trenches with an unsuccessful mission. Plus in the heat of the moment, they just decided to scrap.

It was so stupid

@@dr.menacestein6418 indeed

It was a twist off what happened in the first movie, where the experienced spy who we expect to live died and his mentee has to fill in his place, but it’s also tragically realistic, a lot of young men went off in the world wars and died while their families were left with only their sorrow to keep them company. And lastly, Harry mentioned kingsman was started by rich distinguished gentleman with no heirs, so Conrad’s death is logical, a definite twist, and highly possible. It makes sense and it turns you on your head. It’s like the directors were saying to the audience: “oh, you thought we were going to have Conrad be the new agent to kill the bad guy and save the world? This ain’t that kind of movie brov.”

​@@geeebuttersnap2433 Conrad had to die at some point in the movie anyway. The reason Kingsman was formed in the first place was to honor those who's sons died in the world to end all wars.
