Explore powerful quotes from Black Hawk Down, capturing the realities of war, sacrifice, and the heroes who rise in battle.
◎ Memorable Lines from Black Hawk Down: The Harsh Realities of War
Black Hawk Down (2001), directed by Ridley Scott and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, is a powerful portrayal of the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993. In my opinion, this film, along with Band of Brothers (2001), represents the pinnacle of military cinema. Military films are often categorized into "pre-Saving Private Ryan (1998)" and "post-Saving Private Ryan," and I consider these three works to be the foundation of the most realistic portrayals of soldiers and warfare. Fans of military films will likely appreciate all three.
Starring Josh Hartnett as Sergeant Eversmann, Ewan McGregor as the inexperienced but brave soldier John Grimes, Eric Bana, and Orlando Bloom (famous for The Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Kingdom of Heaven), the film also features several other actors who later rose to fame, making it a treasure hunt for spotting hidden stars.
Black Hawk Down has many emotionally charged lines, and I’ve compiled three of the most unforgettable quotes. One that stands out is from the final credits when Eversmann reflects on fallen comrades. Another poignant moment is when Smith, enduring excruciating pain during surgery, asks Eversmann to tell his parents he fought well. And of course, the iconic line at the start of the film, "Only the dead have seen the end of war." If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend this masterpiece!
- Rangers lead the way.
- Leave no man behind.
A friend of mine asked me before I got here...
It was when we were all shipping out...
He asked me why are you going to fight somebody else`s war?
what, do y`all think you`re heroes?
I didn`t know what to say at the time, but If he asked me again I`d say No.
I`d say there`s no way in hell...
Nobody asks to be a hero.
It just sometimes turns out that way.
I`ll talk to your ma and pa when I get home , Okay?
- Black Hawk Down -
Do me a favor, okay?
Tell my parents that I fought well today.
And tell them that I... that I... that I fought hard.

Only the dead have seen the end of war.
