Greyhound(2020) scene - joint operations

Iam still trying to find the attitude to watch the full movie

dicky giving Germans hell from Canadas 🙏🤝 Rip veterans and thank you for your service

The fact that this film is only available on Apple Plus angers me to no end.

Navy veteran here. Never been in combat, but I’ve been on two ships and spent a lot of time on the bridge. I gotta say, in terms of how the crew members interact/talk with each other, for once, Hollywood absolutely nailed it.

Those submariners got some STONES

I can think of no greater feeling of terror for the U-boat than being forced up and having two escorts out for your blood. If there was no chance of submerging again I’d older crew to abandon and then order the scuttling charges .

Can you imagine if we got this level of action and graphics for the Battle of Samar/Leyte Gulf?!!

This film is incredibly underrated.

This was a great movie….

Ok fine ill watch it again

It’s amazing how realistic Saving Private Ryan looks despite being over 25 years old, and this is just a few years old and I feel like I’m watching a 2008 video game

A brilliant film strangled by Covid and then being stuck on Apple. Just let me buy a damned copy!

Ok. U-boat just driving along with their periscope 20 feet in the air, right in front of the enemy ships, then comes to the surface and tries to fight them? Really? I love the visuals but Hollywood war stories are always stupid. And they have to be stupid to sell to the widest audience in the USA.

Too bad they dont want people to watch this movie, since its on some Apple bs service.

I will say this is one of the best scene for both sides, both the captains of the greyhound and dicky for taking on a U boat and forcing it too the suffice in close combat, and the U boat captain for taking on two destroyers on both sides with just a single cannon and a few anti air guns.

This was really well done.

To bad I can't watch it - since it's on Appple.

Best Wishes from Germany. I am German. Ehre den deutschen Matrosen und Soldaten, die tapfer gegen eine Übermacht gekämpft haben, so wie in dieser Szene. Es lebe Deutschland.

How likely is it to get through the radar with out being spotted

Would a U-boat really allow itself to come that close to a ship???? I thought they did ranged attacks

Greyhound is a Fletcher class Destroyer. Probably the best destroyer of WWII. Dickey looks like some sort of Destroyer Escort. Much smaller with fewer guns and depth charges. Many of the Atlantic escorts were old WWI era ships given minor updates and sent to sea because of the number of ships needed. A lot of brave men died fighting in the North Atlantic in battles most people never heard of.

I enjoyed this movie, but wouldn't Destroyer Escorts like Butler Class be the ones going after submarines? Pretty sure the Fletcher class primary duty was screening escorts against aircraft and surface ships.

OMG - you mean the USN didn't win the Battle of the Atlantic alone?

I fell in love with this movie, and the fact the even had a Canadian DD duking it out with greyhound just put the icing on the cake for me, well played and well done. Id recommend THIS gem to pretty much anyone ❤❤❤

Mad respect to all the work they put in being this coordinated during a real battle. USA navy op

As a former janitor this is accurate.

Next movie, gulf war : operation desert storm. Commander of an abrams or a Bradley

The uncommon bravery and valor of that UBoat crew to brave the fire and man that deckgun knowing full ware thet their death was imminent.

" GIVE EM HELL DICKY!"

"Keep them under by all means, Dicky"
Also Dicky: depth charges the Uboat forcing them up

My only criticism is that the U-boat would've surrendered. No German Kreigsmarine Captain would try and have their lone deck gun outshoot a destroyer. A freighter or tanker = yes, but a destroyer = no. The suicidal, fight-to-the-death Nazis were in the Waffen SS (for the most part).

Correct me if I'm wrong.

One of worse war movies i ever watched

Is this movie on Netflix ?

Films like this show the special bond we have across different nations, USA, UK and Canada, Bonds i think will never be broken.

Why does one guy have a massive helmet?

Man, I feel so bad for the U-Boat crews. Like what a terrifying job, constantly hunted, and everytime you come back to port you hear and see just how few uboats have returned, and seeing radio reports and such of a Uboat under attack just to have the transmission interrupted or just no more transmissions after that. Plus the sonar pinging and depth charging, the hull buckling in with each blast, and knowing that even if you surface you most likely won't even get to surrender, you'll just be shot up before anyone can send a message.

My hats off to their captains and crews who were brave and courageous enough to take such a job.

As a civvy I love this movie

This films got to be in the top 5 greatest warfilms ever, imo because I love naval history itd nunber 1.

As someone who works graveyard at an AM/PM I can say this scene is incredibly accurate and realistic.

If you want to experience how the power of cinema can change your perception, watch "Das Boot" and then come back to "Greyhound". Completely new perspective to these combat scenes.

That had to have been absolutely nerve wrecking, this is probably an accurate depiction of sea warfare in the good ol days

You'd have to have balls of steel to be on the deck of a sub, in a rolling sea, in throwing distance of a ASW corvette like that, firing away on an unprotected gun mount like that. Great for forcing surrender of a merchant man or whatever. Ha Was there any real battle that actually had a submarine and surface vessel duke it out on the surface in super close range like this? A few miles is one thing but a few hundred yards?

I'm willing to suspend disbelief for a good movie scene, but I find it hard to fathom a U-boat captain deciding to fight two surface warships with a damaged ship.

to all you surface warfare officers out there when you had a shot at your enemy did you ever hear hold your fire? you armchair hooligans if you have a shot you take it. it might be the only one you get in the battle.

So, I'm an Army veteran and ex-tank crewman. 'Fury' was our movie, with a huge dollop of bullshit added to it... I live in an area with a lot of veterans from all the services and some of my friends are skimmer pukes 😁 They tell me that his is the most spot-on accurate movie depiction of anti-submarine warfare ever, beating out such classic movies as The Enemy Below. Well, they'd be the experts on that one, so I'll take their opinion at face value. I will say that as a treadhead I could keep track of the action in Greyhound, although I kinda think there's a slice of bullshit in a couple of the torpedo evasion scenes. In any event 'Greyhound' was a great movie, one that I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved the blue/gray lens they shot the movie in, you almost feel the cold of the North Atlantic in winter.

Congrats from Germany

As a former teenager in the 80's I can say that Tom Hanks' acting skills have dramatically improved from Bachelor Party

In reality the US didn't even sink a third of the U-Boats that the British did, that's not including the Canadians, Australians, Polish, Norwegian etc kills. Hollywood is just a propaganda machine. Majority of convoys were commanded by ex Royal Navy Commodores and Rear Admirals from the retired list who flew their flag on a merchant ship and commanded the convoy through the wolfpacks with the escorts. The old boys actually suffered a fairly high casualty rate. They insisted on being on board the more venerable ships to command the convoy and they did have a high casualty rate.

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES IV EVER SEEN

Love the cinematography. Great color
