I think this topic will be interesting. Let's see what the tanks we've seen in the movies and does they really appropriate to the original ;)
Here's mine screens.
Movie `Ballada o soldate`, 1959.
I think instead `Tiger I`` there was T-54.

PS
My guess with T-54 was wrong. Tank is closer to T-44.

 :) :) :) looking forward to this topic

Освобождение: Битва за Берлин / Liberation: Battle for Berlin

Освобождение: Прорыв / Liberation: The Break Through

Both on YouTube.

Where're the screens? ;)

An M3 Lee tank in the 1943 movie Sahara, staring Humphrey Bogart, and of course the M3!

To me what really annoyed me was that horrible film, the Battle of the Bulge, a 1965 dud starring Robert haw and Robert Ryan. Instead of making an effort to at least try to reproduce Tiger IIs they used  M47 Patton tanks which do not look alike at all.....

Once when I was travelling to Russia and Belarus I aw a couple of old Soviet WW2 films. Don't ask me the title but one from the 60s or 70s  had a scene with German Tiger Is and infantry attacking a Sov position defended by a blond guy who manned an MG  then jumped to a small AT gun and died trying to take the Tiger I out.I was impressed by the effort to reproduce a Tiger tank but the explosions looked a bit underdone....

Cross of Iron too impressed me with those authentic T34-85( post WW2 production models though) chasing German infantry.

 I loved the film the Beast a 1988 American film about a Sov tank squad in the Afghan war although frankly the shameless propaganda aspect of showing a Soviet tankman who defects to the savages( the so-called Mujahideen) and helps them destroy both his tank (a T-55) and former comrades really irked me.... I wonder if the American were to make a film about their own Afghan war of they would portray the Mujahideen in such a favourable light?????The Soviet-Afghan war of 1979-1989 is the only war in which I sided firmly for the Soviets...The tank scenes were really good and the setting is stunning.

A few real tanks in this 1946 British movie Theirs Is The Glory, filmed in Holland with real Panthers and a Tiger 2 if I recall correctly. Also real guys from the battle, no actors!

Obviously an inexpensive knock-off of the classic movie, "A Bridge Too Far".

In case it isn't obvious by now, I'm KIDDING.

Were captured Tigers and Panthers used in the filming or did they simply use German war footage????

I had read somewhere that these were vehicles that were used for the movie and not war footage :)

Tali-Ihantala has quite a few originals, all of them aside from the KV-1 I believe. But there are original T-34s (mod.1941 and /87), SU-152, T-26, and four StuGs. Talvisota has quite a few original T-26s as well.

By the way, anyone know anything about the muzzle brake on the barrel of the T-34 mod. 1941?

This picture is quite impressive. I never realized that T-34/76(mod. 1941) exist in the museum, never thought this tank in running order!

BTW
I think KV-1e was made on the base T-34/76.

By the way, anyone know anything about the muzzle brake on the barrel of the T-34 mod. 1941?

It's a 1943 Finnish modification of some of their T34/76 model 1941 tanks that they captured from the Soviets.

Mmm, figured that much, what effect or point did it have though? The gun on the default Mod.41 didn't need one, was it up gunned, or using a more powerful round? And Lockie, it's great to see these machines driving in that film, I would highly recommend seeing it if you can. There is both that captured one in the film, as well as one in Russian colors.

There is the big gun show down of a Tiger tank [T-34] in Kelly's Heroes.

PzIV looks quite acceptable.

Saw that on TMC not long ago, what was the best part for me, was before the movie start, host Ben Mankiewicz was saying during the movies' initial release the then ex president/gen Eisenhower came out of retirement and spoke out about the film inaccuracies.

Tali-Ihalta was the best tank movie ever. I don't think any other movie in the history of movies has gone so far to have historical accuracy.


I think Patton might be a personal favorite of mine though, even if they're using M47's and M48's instead of real tanks..

M47's and M48's instead of real tanks..

Surely you meant real WW2 tanks???? ;)

yea, that.  ;D

Here`s announcement about new movie "Fury" with Bred Pitt. ("Fury" the name of tank)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2713180/
April, 1945. A battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Wardaddy and his men face odds in their attempts to strike at Nazi Germany.
Suppose, this is M4A3-76
(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/10/04/article-2443958-188548F900000578-982_634x423.jpg)

BTW
This is a good scenario for the mission with "Firefly"  ;D

April, 1945. A battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Wardaddy and his men face odds in their attempts to strike at Nazi Germany...


Surely they' ve got to be kidding us????BY April 1945 everybody was behind German lines..... Facing odds when the enemy is on the ropes and being overrun.....with Brad the Pits ?????Why do I smell another bomb( and I don't mean an atomic one  ;D

Lolol. :D  I liked Telly Savalas better in his role as a tanker.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0By7I2IIHlQQjeDIyRTBsRndjVFk/edit?pli=1

It's a bit weird in various ways but the performances are powerful, the story compelling, and the tanks, impressive.

The Misfit Brigade, It's been several years since I've seen it, a funny film (humorous), remember interior action shots of SU crew sighting and loading stuff kinda surprised me at the time.

Sorry 33lima, the link does not work... Could you please check it?

Txema

Sorry, now corrected in the original post!

They liked using those patton tanks as German tanks, I think they were all pattons in guns of navarone.

The mock up tanks in Saving Ryan were pretty good.

They were made using modified Croatian T-54s I thinks..... The Soviets made some Tiger clones in some of their war films using their own T-34s but they were not very well made imo....

To me the worst is the Germans using a T34/85 in their film about Stalingrad....Of all people they should have been the ones concerned about historical accuracy. I realize surviving T34/76 or the 1943 models are rare but still...

In the movie "They Were Not Divided" they have a real Tiger tank and Jagdpanther.   :o

HI Guys,

Can anyone put up a link for Tali-Ihalta ..for D/L or stream with englidh subtitles?

Really wanna watch that one.. watched White Tiger with subtitles, was pretty good..lol really love the way Eastern block people say the word "Tank"

Cheers

O_Smiladon

Yes that was a different movie.  I enjoyed it, even with the weird parts.  Who do you think Hitler was talking to in the last scene?

Hi,

You can buy it here:

It has a different title but it is exactly the same film.

A really good film !!

Thanks for posting that link(White Tiger), it's one of the better films I've seen yet dealing with the subject.

Bwf.

Just watched 15 minutes and I have to admit it's very realistically gruesome and interesting!Thanks 33Lima I 'll watch it!

The premise is rather surreal, with an underlying message (although a rather obscure one - I wonder how the long rant near the end fits in?).
Somewhat like an episode of 'The Twilight Zone'.

Movie "War Horse". Here's replica of a British Mk IV tank.

Those Hollywood T-34"Tigers" have been around a long time, whoever built them put a
serious amount of effort into making them look like Tiger I's. The first film that I remember
seeing them in was Kelley's Heroes. Does anyone know the story on these "Tigers"?

There was another film from about that same era that had some "homebuilt Tigers" in it.
The Battle Of Neretva, Hardy Kruger starred in it.

The "German" T-34's were captured units of course ;D

Does anyone know the story on these "Tigers"?


Most likely converted Jugoslavian T54/55s since the film was shot there.

KV-2 , which is in fact JS-3 late with fake turret. Movie Tank "Klyment Voroshylov-2", 1990

This is about T-34/85 vs Tiger. But personally I think `German` tank looks more to the Panther or TigerII. I think T-55 was took as a base.

Finally, soviet tank killed 6 "Tigers"(T-55)!

In France, there is a series titled "Tanks vs Tanks" whose title is "Greatest Tank Battle" beyond the Atlantic. I do not know if we can include it in the movies but it is a very interesting series of documentaries on all fronts of the Second World War told by tankers from that era.

There are some mistakes, unfortunately, the narrator confusing Jagdtiger with jagdpanzer ... Too bad ....

Maybe this picture is a M4A3E8. Because it uses a HVSS. ;D

Thanks for the link! It is a good stuff!

AT gun 76mm vs Tiger. There are many T-34/85, in spite it was November 1942. Tiger looks a very close to the original. Suppose, it's T-55.

"Cross of Iron"'s Sam Peckinpah 1977 movie

The film focuses on the class conflict between a newly arrived, aristocratic Prussian officer who covets winning the Iron Cross and a cynical, battle-hardened infantry NCO. The screenplay was based on the 1956 novel "The Willing Flesh" by Willi Heinrich, a fictional work that may be loosely based on the true story of Johann Schwerdfeger.

Stalingrad's Joseph Vilsmaier (1993)

Stalingrad is a 1993 war drama film directed by Joseph Vilsmaier. The movie follows a platoon of World War II German Army soldiers transferred to Russia, where they ultimately find themselves participants in the Battle of Stalingrad.

9th company has some nice tank scenes in training and convoys. Also, plenty of MI-24 porn, if your into helicopters. (seriously, the cinematographer had a disproportionate love for that thing.)

The problem with the T34/76 or t34/42 are that it's difficult to make replicas of them because their turrets and guns are smaller than the those of the T34/85 whereas the Tiger I, having a longer gun and much larger turret, is much easier to reproduce considering how many viable T34/85 and T54/55 are available for conversion.

What surprises me is the dearth of films about the Normandy campaign.So many films were made about the East front, the desert war, Italy and the Ardennes but except a couple about DDay and saving Private Ryan I can't recall any....

Can't find the scene showing the Guards Armoured's attack but there was plenty of British/US armour in 'A Bridge Too Far', even if all the Shermans were long-barrelled jobs (and the German tank later on was a Leo!).

It seems that the Fury (2014) movie to be published in 2014 with Brad Pitt see a real Tiger I in its action scenes.

Tiger 131 was borrowed from the Bovington Tank Museum for the film. It is the first time a genuine Tiger I tank was used in a contemporary war film.

'M26' is the later M47, as seen in the Battle of the Bulge movie, pretending to be King Tigers (they could have at least painted them in camouflage instead of grey, but instead they camouflage-painted the US tanks, M24s at that!). The only real tank I have ever been inside was the M47, in the form of two gutted ex-Belgian Army vehicles waiting to be towed out as hard targets onto the ranges at Otterburn, in 1976 or '77.

The Sherman has a cast, rounded hull, front and rear (there was a hybrid with cast front and welded rear hull) so is an M4A1.

My was T-72. Don't have idea abt modification. It was in 1983.

The Char Leclerc for me :)
