@外国人 German invasions were about immediate robbery, not about "lebensraum". If they hadn't started the conquests their economy would have gone bankrupt in 1940. The post-war West German economic miracle was based on capital robbed during WW2. They were lucky that Cold War came and the Allies needed them.
Thats one of my favourite movies... i watch it since 40 years now, 1 time at a year (iam 46 years old now) ; and iam from germany! - This movie called "STOSSTRUPP GOLD" (shock troop gold) in germany! greetings from germany!!!
My fellow Canadian Donald Sutherland was a legend but I always thought Oddball was his best - its's amazing how a guy from the Maritimes made it big in Hollywood. He was always good in every role he played.
Best scene in the movie. Well, anything with Donald Sutherland, and playing a 60s-style hippie in the 1940s makes it even funnier. I love how Clint plays it straight surrounded by a bunch of characters. The juxtaposition is what makes it so funny.
Just last weekend we were at an annual Kelly’s Heroes re-enactment in the Croatian village of Vižinada, where the movie was filmed. It’s a weekend airsoft affair starting Friday and finishing with impressive entertainment in the village hall on Saturday night. I thoroughly recommend attending, even as a spectator.
Hands down, one of my all-time favorites. I suffer from Narratum Verbatim with this flick. Proved it to some friends of mine when I said name the scene. They couldn't believe how I just spouted the lines word-for-word. First watched it with my older brother when I was 10 years old at the Crossbay theater in Queens, N.Y. Went to a Wetsons for a hamburger afterwards. I had a little toy race car in the bag as a prize with the kids meal. Great time to be a kid!!
One of my favorite movies of all time. even after watching it 10 times the raection of the german officer still makes me laugh when he hears how much gold is in the bank he's guarding.
I have watched this movie so many times, I have worn out the DVD! so many lines I repeat in my world that nobody has a clue like "you know...a deal deal!"...or..."the negative waves Moriarity...the negative waves"...or... " our hero"....All these actors were at their absolute prime, the casting was perfection. Sure there are holes in the plot and the production had limitations, but for sheer fun, you just can't beat it. Heck, even the intermission song is a fun tune! 2 Thumbs up !!!
I remember that German solider in Battle of the Bulge. Its good to know that he survived the Battle of the Bulge and even got himself a "Real" Tiger tank unlike those bootleg tanks that they were trying to pass of as Tigers in the Battle of the Bulge film.
If you wanna follow the continuity, he gave up that tiger at the end of the movie. And yeah, the battle of the bulge was some time later, it makes sense tho.
Too funny - the offer - and the quick cut to the bank door exploding. I saw this movie when it came out in theatres - I left the movie ten feet off the ground and fell in love with motion pictures.
Interesting fact… That is not a real Tiger tank but a Russian T-34 that’s modified to look like a Tiger. You can tell by the wheels and also the proportions are wrong. Also fencing scars on the face were considered classy or gentlemanly by old fashioned German Officers. Some even got a fencing scar on purpose.
@@eckyx9019 Yes he does it a couple of times in the movie. One when he's on the phone getting the bridging equipment and the second time when he's eating cheese and drinking wine when the tank breaks down in the village. Only that time he says, 'that's his other dog impression.' What a great actor and I love this film.
My Wife cannot grasp the fact that I have watched this close to 30 times. She just rolls her eyes and leaves the room. The best War Movie ever. Great Cast.
"Dude, I watched it twice when I was 14 living on base in Germany I went to watch it on a Sunday then went back to see it again on Monday and didn't even let my parents know I had gone to see it"!
I love the call back to Clint's spaghetti western past and the jangling spurs as they walk into the jaws of the Tiger. That sound, mixed with Lalo Schiffrin's amazing music takes everything to the next level!
Still think it's hilarious how Kelly's Heroes and Patton were released in the same year, and only the comedy heist film made an attempt to feature period-accurate tanks.
Oddball is still one of my favorite characters of all time. He sets the Luger in his holster for a quick draw. Against a tank. Beautiful, baby. Just beautiful.
This movie defines Sutherland for me, in spite of all the other brilliant work he's done. There will NEVER be another Oddball. I've even got an Oddball t-shirt.
Hmm... interesting observation. I love the look on his face when he actually gets cut in on the deal that they offer him...and, one tank shot later, he's 4,000,000 dollars richer! That has to be the most expensive shell shot in history!!!
Yes it's funny, but there's another reason to laugh at this scene. The tank is supposed to have blown in hole in the door, so that they could get into the bank. The derbis however, is flying the wrong way... i.e. the actual explosion was from inside the bank.
Donald Sutherland’s eye roll and Karl Otto’s reaction to news of how much gold is inside... they really make this scene. Eastwood is so smart- he lets the other characters do their thing. Just perfect.
@Ban this youtube Yep, AND in that 1945 economy right after the war. Opportunity Galore. Just one of those gold bars could have earned you a fortune if you invested it right. Imagine having bought Lockheed shares back then.
"Nothing will stop me from serving the Fuher!" "There is 65 million marks worth of gold in that bank" "%*^& the Fuher, may he burn in hell! I hear American's have good ice cream, yes?"
The truth was that by this point in the war (Late '44 and early '45) many German soldiers felt *exactly* that way. The tank commander was SS, and they had a lot of fanatics, but even some of them had begun to see what was coming for Germany. That's one of the things that make the scene (and the story) work so well overall. The Reichsmark was soon to be as worthless as American Confederate money, But gold, taken a few miles across the Swiss border, held its value, and the Swiss asked no questions. It was, in a few words, a perfect crime.
Tin Man The tank commander is also in the movie "The Great Escape" he plays an SS officer. I told my grandpa he looked like Mussolini when I was watching "The Great Escape" haha.
@@annescholey6546 I didn't know that. Well spotted ! I must watch the Great Escape again. This is one of my favourite scenes from " Kelly's Heoes", ! in fact the whole film is one of my favourites , - great entertainment !!
I thought he looked kinda mad, that Oddball called him "Sweetheart"...which is a feminine way to talk to someone...and this German Officer wasn't having it! Nevertheless:KA-BLAMMMMM!!! Now that German Officer is $4,000,000 Dollars richer. That comes to 16,250,000 German Marcs. He'll be retiring now, I imagine. After all:Now he doesn't have a Tank, that's leaking Gas, to drive around in! For him-It's no more gas fumes! He played it smart!
Moriarity went on to Captain his own ship! I suppose he bought it with his share of the gold and called it the Love Boat. [Gavin McLeod (sp) was the actor's name]
You're right. I know what you mean. I might have been purchaded for nazisme apologie ! Even if o bviously not. M'y dad told me stupidity was even more dangerous than... Anything else. And that's true !
@@retardcorpsman This phrase would sound even more great if Monco said it to Angelo from a hatch of Tiger tank in final duel scene "The Good, the Bad, the Ugly"
As a historian I have always loved the fact that they did make such an effort to make very realistic replicas of the great Tiger I tank. Along with the be Sherman's and half-tracks this was an amazingly accurate film. The wildly crazy characters and heist plot make it a classic film but this has always been my favorite part. All the way to where the waffen ss men load their share and pull out. I always wanted to see a sequel about how they made out afterwards and could picture them all having a reunion twenty years later,
I remember taking my son to watch this movie in the theaters when it came out. He thought it was the best movie ever made. Last week, his grandson Micheal was born. How time flies.
@@ayzy5010 Ok, so that's what those are for. I've seen them before and always thought "why make your tank look like this? What's the purpose of these lines?"
I love how the buildup to their conversation is one big obvious tongue-in-cheek homage to Eastwood and his Spaghetti Westerns. The boys are total cowboys in this scene. It's like the buildup to a duel!
Probably one of the greatest movies of the last century. Packed full of amazing actor's, paced just right, and never takes itself seriously. "We have special shells, they are filled with paint, it paints pretty pictures, scares the hell out of em"
I always thought it was the real deal until a few years back. It was actually a mock up based on the chasis of an T34 just like the one in Saving Private Ryan. The wheels give it away.
+Gerardo Pacheco some people tell me it was actually a t34 dressed up to look like a tiger. you can tell by how small the hull is compared to the turret.
+Gerardo Pacheco Looks like a badly painted wooden fence, but for a pretty big budget film, i doubt they'd make that kind of mistake. Think it's meant to look like it's covered in anti-magnetic paint. They'd have done a better job just smearing tile grout on the tank.
+Gerardo Pacheco Yeah its just a Russian T-34-85 with a wooden Tiger Shell placed over it. From a distance its a pretty convincing Replica aside from the Tracks.
Yeah, don't give a fuck that Fascists invaded dozen of countries, burned towns and villages, sent civilians of all walks to concentration/death camps, killed few million soldiers on West and especially on East front, caused so much suffering, hunger, death and destruction - just care about money and gold... Round applause to that American logic.
@@digimaks Just because I made a factual statement about most low lives on this world does not mean I agree with it (do you believe in people thinking freely), and I'm NOT american. Would like to point out that greed is not an american thing, greed has been around for as long as the human race. That is actually a very racist comment you made as I have met many very generous and caring Americans personally, labelling a whole nationality in this way is as bad as the fascists.
@@digimaks yes, that logic is very American **cough cough** **points at pirates, thieves, kidnappers and such shit that have been around since before England was a country, let alone the United States** **cough cough**
My favorite scene in the whole movie is when Oddball tells the Tank Commander that there is gold in that bank, and the eyes of the German grow really wide and you see the whites of his eyes. Classic.
Not surprising, The core plot device is taken straight from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (learning of stash of gold from dying / crazed officer and then going on journey through war zone to nick it).
The color is amazing for a 1970's film. Almost creamy. It's amazing how well this looks. I'm here because Mr. Sutherland passed today and am looking at his work. I never saw the film, I'm just looking at clips; but he sure looks well and alive. I know he will look like this forever, in one way or another....R.I.P. to him....
Are you aware he died during filming? He went to Yugoslavia "for a days filming" & spent 6 weeks in hospital with spinal meningitis mostly in a coma. He said he died for 4 or 5 seconds in the hospital because they didn't have the right antibiotics for it.
While the Tiger tank is clearly not a real tiger, you have to truly appreciate the length they went to stick to detail. The cannon mantle is almost perfect. The guns conical shape and muzzle break are accurate. Front space is accurate. Even the commanders hatch is spot on. While T-34-85 (The tank prop used) commanders hatches open 2 ways, with half of the hatch opening and the other half can stay closed, this one opens the entire hatch and to the side, just like a real Tiger. The amount of detail on these props are truly incredible. Almost perfect recreations, save the obvious reductions.
Props also to the key logo on the tank, marking 1 SS Liebstandarte , and the tank commander having the Iron Cross 2nd class ribbon and 1st class medal. Looking at the tank commander you can assess he must have seen plenty of experience on the eastern front what with scar as well
100%, quite a bit of movies that portray Tiger I and Tiger II, even the Panther Tanks are so cringy because It doesn't even look similar "I am looking at you a bridge too far." The only movie I can think of that does a great job other than Kelly's Heroes is Saving Private Ryan, and obviously Fury, because they used the real " Tiger 131" in all of the scenes, even driving it through the English Countryside while shooting. The FX crew of Kelly's Heroes is great, they even took the time to add Zimmerit in the correct locations, and used cardboard and plaster in order to make the glacial plate meet the turret authentic. The FX team also went very far by making the rear of the tank look like an early generation Tiger I Austaf G adding the underwater exhaust and intake attachments the later generation Tiger I and Tiger II had removed.
hah, right. It was always hard for me to tell what he said right before that but apparently it's: "The fuel system is rotten...we have gasoline all over the place."
@@Salamander6969 Wow ! That's good to know , I think he is a really good actor, and his performance as the Tiger Tank commander in this film is great I think !
He was most likely bluffing. If there was gasoline the Americans would have smelled it and kept their distance. So Big Joe pretty much called his bluff.
“See, Oddball here gets the impression that you men are laughing at him. He’s kind of sensitive. Now if you were to apologize and blow a hole in that door, well then he’d know you weren’t laughing at him”
It's the epitome of the "You son of a bitch...I'm in!" meme. Dude weighed his options, thunk a thought or two..no more than...and came to the right conclusion. Boom goes the door. Divvy up the spoils and Bob's yer uncle.
@@jaymac6831 it's because there's 16 million dollars of gold in there. That's why oddball also says "mmmmhmm" after seeing his realization even though he's trying to hide it. That's also why the next scene is the bank being blown open, he's so on board - zero hesitation.
54 years since this film came out. I've watched it's hundreds of times over my 28 years, never once got tired of it. Film is just as fresh now as it was then, so is The Good The Bad & The Ugly. Only now when I watch them, I long to relive the past 22 years.
The only thing about it is, is that Oddball treated Moriarty like a chump. Always accused him of spreading them "Negative Waves"! If I'd of been Moriarty, I'd of gotten away from Oddball....... and the quicker, the better!!! 4:49
What's interesting was Karl Otto was also in "Battle of the Bulge" which was a film about Tiger tanks among other things, but the Tiger mock-up in Kelly's Heroes" was half decent, and in Battle of the Bulge they used Patton tanks with no modification other that a cross painted on the turrets. I always thought that was beyond lame, but kudos to Kelly's set designer to at least fool us to think it was a Tiger tank (not an expert, but at least someone who knows a bit about what they should look like.
Gringo This movie was shoot in cooperation with Yugoslavia so Tigers are very good in this movie (made on t 34 base), because they have unlimited budget, it will be later used again in Yugoslav partisan movies, and Yugoslavia didn't care about money.
A perfect scene . Score ( spurs , a beautiful homage to the " man with no name " ) ,facial expressions , mannerisms . Telly nonchalantly resting his hand in the barrel of the Tiger , Odd Ball enjoying the irony , trying to keep a straight face . Every bit down to the chicken and the rat alongside the building . Perfection .
Used to watch this with my grandfather as a kid. Still love it. Dirty dozen, a bridge too far, the great escape, and all the other 60s and 70s ww2 classics.
If you liked the Great Escape, I would seriously recommend the book that inspired the movie and written by a guy that was there. I found it in the WWII section of my HS library and it was the only thing I have ever knowingly considered stealing. To my surprise (and joy), it has been reprinted and is available on Amazon.
"Kelly's Heroes.. Oh right. It's a war movie. Right?"
"Mmmh. No, baby. It ain't. It's a heist movie, man"
I thought it was a western
it's a black satire on Western society
@John Signs yes, I know Kelly Heroes is a Spaghetti Western style War Film
Actually I wonder if Kelly's Granddad is The Man with no Name
@John Signs Maybe the guys a Republican?
He was a reasonable German - He weighed his options, a wealthy early retirement in Switzerland was a most welcomed choice!

A brilliant scene from a brilliant film. Donald Sutherland and Karl Otto Alberty really nail it.
I absolutely loved this movie. Thing is movies like these would never be done nowadays. That's for sure
First saw this movie with a bunch of kids from school when I was 12 years old. For the rest of that year, everyone wanted to be Donald Sutherland.

I love how this scene pays homage to Eastwood's western days.
Best part is when his eyes widen. Brilliant!
" Hey Kelly " .. " yeah Oddball ".. " no one said anything about locking horns with a Tiger tank " ... 😂😂😂🤣
Great scene. A subtle nod to the shootouts in Eastwood's "Dollars Trilogy" even down to the music.
Sutherland was the best actor in this movie, he made away with the gold and the movie. RIP Sir.
One of my favorite movies of all time. even after watching it 10 times the raection of the german officer still makes me laugh when he hears how much gold is in the bank he's guarding.

Adjusted for inflation, $16 million in 1944 would be $231 million in 2018. A tidy sum

Oddball wasn’t going to let it get blown up, “it’s a beautiful tank”!!
I love how the german tank commander's eyes light up when he hears about the gold.
I mean who wouldn’t?
I thought he responded like that because Oddball referred to him as sweetheart.
he saw his out. a life of luxury in a switzerland with gold vs dying in a burning tank.
I thought he looked kinda mad, that Oddball called him "Sweetheart"...which is a feminine way to talk to someone...and this German Officer wasn't having it!
Nevertheless:KA-BLAMMMMM!!!
Now that German Officer is $4,000,000 Dollars richer.
That comes to 16,250,000 German Marcs.
He'll be retiring now, I imagine. After all:Now he doesn't have a Tank, that's leaking Gas, to drive around in!
For him-It's no more gas fumes!
He played it smart!

Thank God they didn't take Moriarty, no telling what kind of bullshit negative waves he would have carried into the showdown.
Moriarity went on to Captain his own ship! I suppose he bought it with his share of the gold and called it the Love Boat. [Gavin McLeod (sp) was the actor's name]
It was his idea to chat up the Germans and make a deal...wounded and still squaking
LMAO!
there you go again with your negative waves.
Yeah... he'd of ruined the whole deal, baby! Always with them negative waves...shut up, Moriarty! Learn to think positive!
So it's a heist comedy, wrapped in a WWII epic, wrapped in a spaghetti western
I think it's more of a caper, wrapped in spaghetti, wrapped in Patton … but the world may never know
It's Kelly's Heroes. The run through the German held town in the jeep sold it to me. 2001 has nothing on this.

Spurs actually - not stirrups. But since they aren't wearing spurs, it must be fistfulls of gold coins in their pockets.
I pray to God every day that Hollywood does NOT make one of their "remakes" of this masterpiece.

John Rodriguez it’s one of my favorite WW2 movies and it’s so far from being historically accurate lol really is a great movie
Because it's not even close to being historically accurate because that 34 on the tiger would of lit them up and they used a 42 instead of a 34

As a historian I have always loved the fact that they did make such an effort to make very realistic replicas of the great Tiger I tank. Along with the be Sherman's and half-tracks this was an amazingly accurate film. The wildly crazy characters and heist plot make it a classic film but this has always been my favorite part. All the way to where the waffen ss men load their share and pull out. I always wanted to see a sequel about how they made out afterwards and could picture them all having a reunion twenty years later,
I believe these same mock ups were in Saving Private Ryan
@@lewcrowley3710 Both were T-34s crying in shame for pretending to be the hated Tigers.
At least it was way better than this Tiger mock up! ruclips.net/video/7OXcJY_WFQU/видео.html
They filmed this in a country that was still using WW2 equipment for front line soldiers. It helped their logistics for putting the movie together
I'm surprised this film hasn't been remade... they have remade almost everything else. Of course, a remake could never be as good as the original

I think this was the first war movie that actually made the German equipment look German, not painted over Patton tanks.
I always thought it was the real deal until a few years back. It was actually a mock up based on the chasis of an T34 just like the one in Saving Private Ryan. The wheels give it away.
Only war movie to use the real deal is fury right? Feel free to correct me if I’m mistaken.
The fact that Sutherland buys the Tiger from the German after they split the gold just seals it !
Friking perfection.

is it just me or did the tiger look like it was wood
+Gerardo Pacheco It was, very likely.
+Gerardo Pacheco some people tell me it was actually a t34 dressed up to look like a tiger. you can tell by how small the hull is compared to the turret.
+Gerardo Pacheco Looks like a badly painted wooden fence, but for a pretty big budget film, i doubt they'd make that kind of mistake.
Think it's meant to look like it's covered in anti-magnetic paint. They'd have done a better job just smearing tile grout on the tank.
+flounder2760 apparently that was true for the Tigers in saving private Ryan
+Gerardo Pacheco Yeah its just a Russian T-34-85 with a wooden Tiger Shell placed over it. From a distance its a pretty convincing Replica aside from the Tracks.

My favorite scene in the whole movie is when Oddball tells the Tank Commander that there is gold in that bank, and the eyes of the German grow really wide and you see the whites of his eyes. Classic.
I think that's over-acting. It would be better if he stared back emotionless or maybe with a slight twitch of a facial expression.
It was prefect
Jeff Sartain I like how eyes slowly widening. As he realize what he was just told about the gold.
His eyes look like he's high

"when you have to shoot, shoot. don't talk"
The most Western styled War Film I have Ever seen.
Not surprising, The core plot device is taken straight from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (learning of stash of gold from dying / crazed officer and then going on journey through war zone to nick it).
I like the sound effect that when Kelly & the boys are marching up to the tiger, it sounds like they have spurs on their boots.
@Gienek Max Which just makes it all the more clever. Adds to the western aesthetic of the scene.
The color is amazing for a 1970's film. Almost creamy. It's amazing how well this looks.
I'm here because Mr. Sutherland passed today and am looking at his work. I never saw the film, I'm just looking at clips; but he sure looks well and alive. I know he will look like this forever, in one way or another....R.I.P. to him....
Are you aware he died during filming? He went to Yugoslavia "for a days filming" & spent 6 weeks in hospital with spinal meningitis mostly in a coma. He said he died for 4 or 5 seconds in the hospital because they didn't have the right antibiotics for it.

While the Tiger tank is clearly not a real tiger, you have to truly appreciate the length they went to stick to detail. The cannon mantle is almost perfect. The guns conical shape and muzzle break are accurate. Front space is accurate. Even the commanders hatch is spot on. While T-34-85 (The tank prop used) commanders hatches open 2 ways, with half of the hatch opening and the other half can stay closed, this one opens the entire hatch and to the side, just like a real Tiger.
The amount of detail on these props are truly incredible. Almost perfect recreations, save the obvious reductions.
But anyone knowing about tanks will always recognize proportions and characteristic pattern of T-34's tracks.
Props also to the key logo on the tank, marking 1 SS Liebstandarte , and the tank commander having the Iron Cross 2nd class ribbon and 1st class medal.
Looking at the tank commander you can assess he must have seen plenty of experience on the eastern front what with scar as well
Clearly...
False turret on top?
100%, quite a bit of movies that portray Tiger I and Tiger II, even the Panther Tanks are so cringy because It doesn't even look similar "I am looking at you a bridge too far." The only movie I can think of that does a great job other than Kelly's Heroes is Saving Private Ryan, and obviously Fury, because they used the real " Tiger 131" in all of the scenes, even driving it through the English Countryside while shooting. The FX crew of Kelly's Heroes is great, they even took the time to add Zimmerit in the correct locations, and used cardboard and plaster in order to make the glacial plate meet the turret authentic. The FX team also went very far by making the rear of the tank look like an early generation Tiger I Austaf G adding the underwater exhaust and intake attachments the later generation Tiger I and Tiger II had removed.
"We have gasoline all over the place." Yeah, whatever. Lights one up.

It was always hard for me to tell what he said right before that but apparently it's:
"The fuel system is rotten...we have gasoline all over the place."
Also,there are fires all over the place in the background.

@@jaymac6831 it's because there's 16 million dollars of gold in there. That's why oddball also says "mmmmhmm" after seeing his realization even though he's trying to hide it. That's also why the next scene is the bank being blown open, he's so on board - zero hesitation.

GOLD. The real universal language.
Karl Otto Alberty really was born in Germany and he was a boxer.
When he appeared in a film, the film was so good :)
He was also the officer who captures Roger Bartlett at the end of "The Great Escape."
What's interesting was Karl Otto was also in "Battle of the Bulge" which was a film about Tiger tanks among other things, but the Tiger mock-up in Kelly's Heroes" was half decent, and in Battle of the Bulge they used Patton tanks with no modification other that a cross painted on the turrets. I always thought that was beyond lame, but kudos to Kelly's set designer to at least fool us to think it was a Tiger tank (not an expert, but at least someone who knows a bit about what they should look like.
Gringo This movie was shoot in cooperation with Yugoslavia so Tigers are very good in this movie (made on t 34 base), because they have unlimited budget, it will be later used again in Yugoslav partisan movies, and Yugoslavia didn't care about money.

If you liked the Great Escape, I would seriously recommend the book that inspired the movie and written by a guy that was there. I found it in the WWII section of my HS library and it was the only thing I have ever knowingly considered stealing. To my surprise (and joy), it has been reprinted and is available on Amazon.
Pretty much was the golden era of WW2 movies.

I like the jingle of spurs though nobody has them.
