Top 10 Movie Tank Scenes


make tracks to the armory
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our choices for the top 10
movie tank scenes
for this list we’re keeping the criteria
pretty wide open any movie scene that
features a tank prominently is eligible
as you’ve probably guessed there will be
a few spoilers ahead so spoiler alert
now let’s get tanked
number ten making a deal Kelly’s heroes
y’all this guy’s doing his got in the
bank like he was told yeah maybe but I
wonder if he knows what’s in it
who says enemies can’t put aside their
differences and cooperate even during
wartime here a group of US soldiers that
include Donald Sutherland Telly Savalas
and Clint Eastwood proves that they’re
able to come to an agreement with a
German tank commander that they
encounter in nazi-occupied France you
and us we’re just soldiers right we
don’t even know what this war is all
about with a bit of smooth-talking the
soldiers convince the german to turn the
firepower of his tank away from them and
towards the doors of a bank that he’s
unwittingly defending you know what’s
inside that Bank nine to sixteen million
dollars worth of gold in that Bank
sweetheart but only after promising to
cut him in for a share of the Geun
stashed away inside all you have to do
to have an equal share of this money
let’s crank this turret around a little
hold on that door
number nine male bonding the interview
know is that real it was a gift to my
grandfather from Stalin in my country
it’s pronounced Stallone what do sing
our Katy Perry and a tank have in common
in this case both hold the dubious
distinction of having captured the
affection of North Korean dictator Kim
jong-un liking Katy Perry and drinking
margaritas is gay who wants to be
straight oh not me
boring the gleefully absurd depiction of
one of the most reviled heads of state
in the entire world riding around in a
tank and blowing things up while
grooving to firework is priceless
of course this gift from Stalin comes in
handy later when Dave and Erin have to
escape is this Katy Perry just leave it
on is helping me concentrate
coupled with the poetic justice
eventually tied to both the song and the
tenth this movie tank easily earns its
place on this list
number eight City chase Goldeneye
everyone knows that James Bond is not
someone to trifle with and in this film
double-oh-seven also proves that he has
the ability to drive literally anything
during a chase instead of a sleek
British sports car Bob steers a clunky
Russian tank through the streets of st.
Petersburg in pursuit of the corrupt
head of the Russian space division it
was a bumper that’s nice for while not
quite as refined or nimble as any of his
Aston Martins the tank more than makes
up for any speed or aerodynamic
shortcomings with sheer durability
number seven bloodshed Stalingrad
when it comes to great tank scenes
sometimes at least in terms of impact
more is actually more from its use of
multiple tanks to the pristine snow that
becomes increasingly stained with blood
to the scores of soldiers who perish and
fire and ice this segment from the 1993
war film Stalingrad showcases the
horrors of war in a stunningly stark and
ominous fashion
looking away is almost impossible and
because of the fact that the scene is
based on a real-life battle that
occurred during World War two
it’s also unforgettable
number six intoxicated driver buffalo
soldiers figure out what we’re going
that man
‘we said hey Johnny make a left what’s
more dangerous than encountering a group
of well trained military personnel
driving a tank running into a group of
well-trained military personnel who are
hopped up on smack while driving a tank
obviously
the chaos and destruction that ensues
during this late Cold War era yarn is
both amusing and alarming after
injecting heroin a group of military men
take a tank on a joyride to places it
was never meant to go shit man we’ve
spent over a car man we just squashed a
car what kind of car Volkswagen
deal squash to Peter the results are
literally explosive
you
number five monkey mischief dawn of the
Planet of the Apes in all of the Planet
of the Apes movies a major component of
the story is that the Apes become more
intelligent and begin to more closely
resemble their human relatives do one
more but will fine earth we’re lost in
this case one of the Apes Koba shows
that in addition to mirroring many
positive human behaviors some of the
Apes have also acquired a very human
propensity for negative traits like
hatred
goba is proof that hatred can lead to
war when he hijacks a tank and uses it
in battle against its human creators
number four hanging tough fury you know
that a tank is something special when
it’s the title character in a movie as
is the case in fury in fact not only
does the tank have a title role it has
Top Billing over megastar Brad Pitt Rob
Devin living up to its name the
awe-inspiring machine helps Allied
troops fight against the Third Reich
even battling a superior tiger tank
until it can fight no longer God brought
its lap the inspiring scene is a David
and Goliath story but with tanks so it’s
much much cooler
number three road Menace Fast & Furious
6 uh guys we got to come up with another
plan
they gotta take I’m sorry did somebody
just say a tank it’s muscle cars versus
military might as the good guys chased
the bad guys on a crowded highway even
for some of the best drivers in the
world getting the job done is a
challenge we do we do fast we improvise
all right side of a tank bearing down on
the unsuspecting travelers from behind
is enough to make moviegoers gasp and
the effect is even more harrowing when
the chase moves to the wrong side of the
road okay job take it to the other side
let’s have some fun
tank versus cars that hardly seems fair
number two tank face down Saving Private
Ryan when you have not one but two
important goals in a battle you can’t be
intimidated by the opposition’s heavy
artillery in this film Army Rangers
captain John Miller is tasked with not
only fighting the Nazis at Brits but
also with safely bringing home the last
surviving son of an American family
that’s received more than its fair share
of bad news recently
he came on the way out here to tell me
that with so much and so many counting
on him captain Miller unflinchingly
gives it his all in spite of the odds as
a huge tank rolls menacingly to awards
him
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
no I did
as I did
come in and on please gotta text for my
position yes sir and anything
immediately sir
number one the rescue Indiana Jones and
the Last Crusade Jones he’s getting away
I stink look heads other than not that
jump the other go even a tank full of
angry Nazis is no match for a man on a
horse if that man happens to be Indiana
Jones that is a nail-biter to the end
this scene sees Indy with his father’s
life and the fate of the entire world
resting on his shoulders
Calma Calma trainer with his father and
the map to the holy grail in enemy hands
indy must do everything possible to
rescue them including take on a tank
take on its driver and take the serious
risk of being launched off a cliff
