From Waterloo (1970 Film)

[jollyboysfromtheland]

Interesting fact: Picton did genuinely fight in his civilian suit, including a top hat, as his army uniform was lost from his baggage.

Napoleon: Has Wellington got nothing to offer me but these Amazons?

Ridley Scott should have watched this film a few times before making Napoleon.

[McCbobbish]

Did you know, this movie was a co-production between Italy and the Soviet Union?
It was filmed in Ukraine.
They literally got 17, 000 Red Army troops to dress up as napoleonic soldiers and march around for this.

One of the most underrated war movies. This movie singlehandedly got me interested in the Napoleonic Wars

[SnoutBetter]

The Highlanders did some mental stuff at Waterloo - They charged alongside the Royal Scots Greys (cavalry), while screaming ‘Scotland forever’ - Best Damn Regiments in the British Army

[dustin]

The 93rd Sutherland Highlanders advanced at the Battle of New Orleans. The "immense bravery" shown by the 93rd in this advance was noted by the American Paul Wellman, General Andrew Jackson's biographer:

"To the very edge of the canal before the rampart the few that were left of the kilted regiment marched, then halted there. The men who had been detailed to bring scaling ladders and fascines had failed to come up. Unable to go forward, too proud to retreat, although the regiment behind them had all fallen back. At length a mere handful of what had been the magnificent regiment slowly retired, still in unbroken order, still turning to face the foe. From the ramparts the Americans cheered them wildly. All rifle fire ceased."

Everyone is Gangster until the Scots arive with the Highlanders blasting there pipes

[KENACT]

NAPOLEON: "What's your beef, Wellington?"

[jamesmorgan]

As Someone said “ If you hear the pipes on a battlefield, you had better hope to god there’re alongside you and not in front of you “

1:27 "Sir! Sir! Our general is under attack!"

"Get your bastards up onto the crest" Delicious line.

[benjaminpicton]

He joined the army at 13, lifelong soldier, died on what was to be his final feather in the cap.
War hero.

“Does Wellington have nothing to offer me but these Amazons?” That makes me chuckle everytime

[rodneytrotter]

The thing I like about this film is it shows how big the battalions actually were

[Galejro]

"No [place actor] were injured during the production of the movie" CGI has rendered this phrase obsolete. Those movies were badass enough to make real battles with real actors, where that phrase had to be applied... Respect.

[battleguru]

“THE 92nd WILL ADVANCE”, goosebumps. Boy am I glad to be fighting along side such a fearless and epic nation! 🇬🇧❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[jslevy]

The actual historical event was even more dramatic. Picton was killed leading a bayonet charge . His last words were 'Charge, charge, Hurrah!'. He was and remains a controversial character with Wellington calling him "a rough foul-mouthed devil as ever lived.'

As a descendant of Clan Gordon this puts a smile on my face
