'Glory' (1989) - Deleted Scenes & Rare Additional Battle Footage

With exceptional cinematography, powerful storytelling, and an Oscar-winning performance by Denzel Washington, "Glory" remains one of the finest Civil War movies ever made. This is a collection of Deleted Scenes and additional , extended Battle Footage shot for the film but never used. An interesting behind-the-curtain glimpse into the making of this classic movie.

The Story, in brief: Following the Battle of Antietam, Col. Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick) is offered command of the United States' first all-African-American regiment, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. With junior officer Cabot Forbes (Cary Elwes), Shaw puts together a strong and proud unit, including the escaped slave Trip (Denzel Washington) and the wise gravedigger John Rawlins (Morgan Freeman). At first limited to menial manual tasks, the regiment fights to be placed in the heat of battle.

I think this was the only movie I attended for which the entire audience applauded at the end.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time

[martinrosenthal]

Sorry for my bad englisch. I'm german. I've seen Glory so many times. It's one of my all time favorites. The grave scene with Mathew Broderick and Denzel Washington is for me one of the most emotional scenes.I love this movie and hope to see one day a full HD directors cut. Thanks for this footage

THAT should have made the cut. That was a great line.

Wow! So happy I stumbled across this. Glory is my all time favorite movie. In the early 90’s when I was a teenager i was obsessed. Used to watch it every day after school. Wore multiple tapes out. I also had the documentary that went along with it. I started doing re-enactments and was an extra in the movie Gettysburg. Belonged to the 20th Maine re-enactment group out of Lebanon Maine. Glory also inspired me to join the army which I ended up doing in 96‘. Served six years! To think after so many years I would stumble across more scenes from a movie that was so beloved to me. Thank you so much!! This truly made my day. Hell, it made my year!

Very cool. I was an extra in the Antietam battle scenes which were filmed at a location about an hours drive south of Atlanta in early April, 1989. We were the only “real” Yankees in the Union army. I brought down about 30 guys, mostly from Michigan, Indiana and Ohio with a few more from Pennsylvania, Illinois and Kentucky. It was great fun plus they fed us well and paid us and we got mileage.
I may or may not be in the Antietam scene in the distance, it’s hard to tell.

Glory, it is my personal favorite movie. It gets to me every time I watch it. The action the bravery the sacrifice the cause. The amazing actors and acting it’s just so good!!!

My great-great grandfather, James musselwhite, was with company a, 31st North Carolina infantry in defense of this fort in this battle. He was from Roberson county North Carolina. He survived the war.

It’s the best civil war movie I’ve ever seen and yes that includes gone with the wind

[DavidGoben]

This has been one of my favorite movies since it first came out. I began following everything Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman did after that. The lengthy documentary Freeman did on this, which was included in my Deluxe DVD set, was amazing.

[Seven.And.The.RaggedTiger]

The Battle of Antietam was fought in my backyard(well part of it) here in Maryland.. I have found many artifacts in my yard, even a rusty old mortar while planting a tree, many round shots, and several 58 cal. Springfield "mini balls" and to see the size of one and think that this projectile went through a human being, a body and whoever it was probably fell right there.. very chilling to me, crazy holding these things in my hand and knowing what they were used for.. and Harper's Ferry West Virginia is right across the river from me

[CommandaInChief]

The special effects are still pretty incredible. Most civil war movies are boring but this was anything but

[MicroDotTV]

the courage involved in a war such as this is beyond compare, it captures my heart in all these civil war movies

[bellvnv]

God bless !
I swear some of these battle scenes look as if someone went back in time to 1863 and film the actual battle !
Very haunting !

[NickeP]

"The Apple Picker" scene should have been included in the full movie.

[josephel]

Love this movie. Much respect to the actors who portrayed the soldiers of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment.

[Frank_nwobhm]

While it has its share of flaws, Glory is still probably the best Civil War epic ever made, and likely will never be topped in our lifetimes. Heck, I doubt that anyone will even attempt to make another.

[Seekrieg]

I was a participant in the making of the movie. Thank you for posting this as many memories, both good and bad are tied to that movie for me. What isn't discussed much, is that not only did the racial tension of the era present itself, but the modern racial tension of the day was also present behind the scenes of the movie itself. Truly a sad commentary on both the 1860's and 1989, at the time of producing the movie. I do hope in presenting these issues, that we as a nation can come together and march past them. Sadly, I don't believe it will happen in my life time.

They used a lot of US army servicemen from the 24th Infantry Division Ft. Steward as extras.
Probably weekend work that provided some extra income, soon they were off to Desert Shield / Storm.

Im sorry, but dude jumping like he is jumping off a diving board into a swimming pool at 0:39 is funny as heck
