History Awesome / Fury2014

** The Fury is badass for defeating the mighty Tiger.

* The Tiger I tank that appears in the film is ''not'' a mock-up or CGI [[note]]mock-ups were only used when it gets destroyed InUniverse[[/note]], but an actual one, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_131 Tiger 131]]. The only one in the world that's still operational in fact, marking its film debut outside of propaganda reels.

** And in the end, [[spoiler: it takes a sniper to put him out of action, and even then it takes three shots.]]
*** [[spoiler: and he still fights, killing one more German before going out from ''two grenades''.]]

* Garcia [[spoiler: accidentally drops a live grenade back into the Fury. So what does he do? He [[DyingMomentOfAwesome smothers the grenade explosion with his own body and saves the crew inside]].]]

** The [[https://youtu.be/AMd7jkBbGZU soundtrack]] for this battle clinches it. The choir is chanting the German translation of Luke 21:22 of the bible - ''"Denn das sind die Tage der Rache, daß erfüllet werde alles, was geschrieben ist.'' , which in English is ''"For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.''"

* Five men and one tank that can't even move against three hundred crack troops. They successfully pin the SS troops down for half a day, and inflict enough casualties that the survivors are unable to significantly threaten the Allied supply lines.

** Then we see some other planes coming from the other side, presumably the German Luftwaffe, and there was a measly...''five''. In case you still didn't get the point that the Germans are facing a HopelessWar. (For scale, when the Allies first began bombing Germany, ''hundreds'' of Luftwaffe planes would normally meet the bombers.)

* The scene where they find the SS Officer who was using child soldiers and hanging ones who refused, and the gun him down ''like an animal''.

* The mission where First platoon goes and rescues a platoon of pinned down American soldiers from German machine-guns. Even though they were told that there are anti-tank guns present that have already annihilated previous vehicles, they still do it and end with [[spoiler: no casualties (tank-wise)]].

* A rather understated one, but when the tank column is on its way to take a town, Fury's crew look up and see hundreds of bombers flying overhead. It's a stirring sight, even if they do nothing but keep flying east.

The movie can be clearly said it portrays a WarIsHell theme, but with war movies comes some moments of awesome.
