I thought it was gonna be that the director put real booze in the canteen!

[shenghan]

Thats not just a puzzled look. He was saying wtf

[bjohnston]

I've heard it said truly great actors don't just parrot their lines, they listen and react to what the others are saying...now we know why

[twwtjohns]

Hell, the actors behind him laughed out loud and they still kept filming.

And the Motorcycle jumping the barbed wire fences was a TRIUMPH!

Another Stunt guy did the jumps, and McQueen was a German on a motorcycle chasing him for that scene.

Good scene, good movie, roll with it. 7

Der Kommandant was actually a prisoner himself during WWII- Hans Messemer was his name.

Did you know there were no American p.o.w. in that camp with the British.

Perfection often lies in imperfection.

[Less_Serious]

One of his character's "gooberisms" through the the film. My favorite was when he explained the air hole poking rod

[Captainkebbles]

Steve was so depressed they wouldn't let him film the wire fence jump himself he debated suicide

Real War Veterans Seen,
Such As Charles Bronson.

Every time i see it it always felt like it was planned because when an actor reacts to something that is planned conpared to when something isnt planned you can tell when their reactions are genuine

[robertevans]

In the real great escape their was no Americans in the uk camp the Germans put different nations in different camps true from United Kingdom 🇬🇧

[donhagerty]

IT MIGHT BE FUN TO MAKE A WHOLE MOVIE ALL ADLIB

[calkim]

Come on you got virtual representation like us subjects did in Birmingham UK 🤣🤣🤣🤣❗

[gusjackson]

They are too well dressed, well fed and clean to be POW’s.

[mikekelleher]

Good film, but in reality there were zero Americans involved in the ‘Great Escape’.

[kamally]

Now imagine that 16 year olds get taxed on money they make but aren't allowed to vote xD

[a-ian-lim]

Acting back then was pretty shitty, or maybe people really behaved that way back in the olden days.
