In March 1945 Major General Maurice Rose facing two tiger tanks and a German soldier sitting in the hatch holding an MP 40 reached for his pistol belt almost certainly to drop his weapon but the tank soldier seen it as him reaching for his gun and shot him dead. Even an American inquiry blamed the fog of war rather than the German soldier for his death.
Everything about this movie is perfect. As a former infantryman, they got the gripes and the moaning from the troops down pat. My favorite was when Joe had everyone lined up and was berating them for threatening to kill the officers, having crabs and getting drunk. It was like my old unit
There's a lot wrong with this movie. It has a huge number of flaws and issues in technicalities, continuity, editing, and production. And despite all of that, it remains my all time favourite movie.
"See, when we go into battle man, we like to play music very loud, It calms the boys. Heh heh, and scares the hell out of the Germans." (Off the top of my head)
One of the best parts of the movie!. All for the love of sunshine and I've been working on the railroad are the best songs in my mind today at 68years old!.
I was on the floor laughing when "I've been working on the railroad" began to play. They definitely did some work on that railroad yard to improve the view and let more sunshine in. Absolutely one of my favorite movies. Don Rickles attended a roast of Clint Eastwood in 2000 in which he said, "Some friend you are, Clint. We made one movie together and then you don't contact me for thirty years!"
This movie was almost perfect. Cast, the plot to go steal gold, behind enemy lines. Even the banter back and forth between the actors. A perfect adventure flick.
I met the chap who wrote this around 25 years or so ago. He lived in London and I was there to film him for a documentary about a BBC production he had also written. He also wrote the Italian Job. He was such a down to earth chap.
Absolute classic and one of my favorite films, would love to get it in 4K. So many well scripted lines; the one that stands out for me is, when Kelly approaches Mulligan (George Savalas) about doing a artillery/mortar drop without authorization, and hands him a gold bar. Kelly says “can you do it?”… mulligan says “Sure … why?”. Kelly responds annoyed … “what do you mean why?”…. Mulligan (gazing into the gold bar) “… why not!!!”. Classic!!
The best war movie ever. Tremendous cast and action. Caroll OCconner around the radio listening to the (game) battle is brilliant. Great movie, i'll watch it any time it's on.
One of the greatest collections of (virtually unknown at the time) funny men in movie history led by a young Don Rickles. Donald Sutherland (RIP) was perfect as Oddball! Telly Savalas as Joe is frosting on the cake!
This is one of the best war movies of all time and it was a comedy at the same time! Plus throw in the cast of characters! Another testament to it's greatness is it never gets old. Some of these scenes still will get me to laugh out loud to this day!
I love these old movies with the giant casts of actual movie stars back when we still had some. Look at the cast of "A Bridge Too Far." Redford, Caan, Connery, O'Neal, Caine, Hackman, Hopkins and it goes on.
Here are couple of fun facts of Kelly's Heroes (believe it or not): 1. The movie was filmed in Yugoslavia; 2. The Tiger Tank was a rebuilt T-34 (that was uses in mentioned movie) for filming Yugoslav war movies (some call it partisan movies). Even some rumors are that the mentioned rebuilt T-34 into Tiger tank was also used when filming movie Saving Private Ryan; 3. When was movie Kelly's Heroes was filming, the American movie crew also was working along with Yugoslav movie crew when filming movie The Battle For River Neretva (and also they used mentioned rebuilt Tiger tank); 4. The plane on 3:15 that is potraying to be Texan fighter is a Yugoslav Soko 522 plane (one of these Yugoslav airplanes is also somewhere in USA, by one collector). Soko 522 was mostly imitating the German Focke Wulf 190 in Yugoslav war movies; 5. The Sherman tank scene on 7:57 was filmed on mountain called Fruška Gora, which is near city of Novi Sad (today's Serbia); 6. The Sherman tank that Donald Sutherland used in the mentioned movie is in Museum of Vojvodina in city of Novi Sad (today's Serbia) (and even is today there); 7. When Clint Eastwood made a break of making movie Kelly's Heroes, he occasionally came to city of Novi Sad. You can find the pictures of him in Novi Sad on internet, and perhaps on social media (not sure about that); 8. The second country in the world that had Sherman tanks in large numbers was Yugoslavia; 9. If you ever visit city of Novi Sad, you can come to downtown of mentioned city, where you can see also a commemorative plates of the important years that occurred in the city of Novi Sad (and one of them was written that in 1969 the Kelly's Heroes was filmed, and also Clint Eastwood, Telly Salavas, and Donald Sutherland came to city of Novi Sad). And those are the fun facts dear people.
Well, maybe you Non-Noo-Yawkers, should try a Garbage-Pizza, Sometime! (My preference, is "hold the Mushrooms!")[I don't like stuff called a 'Fungus', especially if it's on my feet!]
😎👍Kelly's Heros is most truly definitely one of my all time favorite WW2 movies ever made with a truly very spectacular all star cast indeed!👌; And I myself own this fabulously wonderful movie on DVD as well!😉.
Telly’s voice and facial change always cracked me up. “Tigers? Where the hell the tigers come from?” It’s up there with Sutherlands “I only ride them,I don’t know what makes them go.” Now I wish there was a 4K for this film.
I went to see this film in a small cinema in Headingley in Leeds, there were about 12 of us sitting all together,straight to the pub afterwards, happy days
I watched this movie in Honolulu while waited for my Draft Notice. That was around may of 1970. Different war but many of the same type of stories. Nam was bad but jeazzsus... we did some crazy fun $hit.
What makes this film even better is that, all things considered, this film is very historically accurate (in terms of gear, scenes, uniforms, and tactics). A truly superb film with an excellent cast demonstrating great acting, on-point comedy and action and a great story.
@@alpardo4124 Except for Archie Bunker on TV, I think this was his funniest role. The casting director for this film should have received an Oscar. Every actor was just perfect for their part.
These guys, some, maybe most, were there? I think that’s why this movie is so great!! Or maybe, just a little too young, they wished they could be there. Respect. Total respect for the sacrifice too many boys made to preserve and protect the constitution of the United States.
My dad loved this movie,especially the scene where oddball has bought the tiger tank, snd moriarity is calling it a piece of crap, and oddball says it is a beautiful tank. I think too oddball deacribing the modified shermans cracked him up. He was in a tank destroyer in europe, and i think the absurdity tickled him. The anti military attitude also resonated. In some ways Telly Savales reminded me of my dad as well, the attitude snd the new york accent.
When the luftwaffe flies over the battlefield the British hit the deck. The the RAF flies over the battlefield the Germans hit the deck. When the USAF flies of the battlefield Everybody hits the deck.
fun fact all the US tanks and military gear came from the Yugoslav Army who had it all as post war lend lease stuff from the USA the tiger tanks , as we all know are mocked up T-34s
A discrepancy that I noticed years ago when rewatching this movie (I've lost count how many times I've watched it) is that earlier in the movie Oddball's Sherman has the speaker on the right side of the turret, yet here and throughout the rest of the movie the speaker is on the left side. I had made this comment in another YT video about the movie, and someone replied that the Sherman with the speaker on the right side of the turret wasn't Oddball's. The thing you see here is that only Oddball's Sherman has a speaker on it. Neither of the other two has a speaker at all.
I suppose if you wanted to deep dive into what-ifs, the speaker could have been removable, held on with a wing nut. The headlights on the Sherman were removable to keep them from getting damaged during combat. Good catch regardless.
Oddball was getting negative waves from the speaker so he moved it. It doesn't matter what side the speaker is on. There wasn't any technology in WWII that they could have used to play music over a speaker in a moving tank. But, we do not care.
@@_Ben4810 he had some stuff. I tried to talk him out of a crew member sweat shirt from Pink Floyd’s The Wall, he also worked on that movie, as well as the Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers, and I know he worked on a Steve McQueen film. I’ve had drinks with Donald Sutherland in London with my aunt, but he’s the only person I’ve met because of Uncle Tony.
Donald Sutherland opening the flap of his holster while walking up to the Tiger tank with Spaghetti Western music playing is classic!
Oddball ❤😊
@@robertbenson9797 Hilarious spoof of spaghetti westerns in that scene!!!
@@mellongfield9873 Even the music they were playing was similar to "The Good the Bad and the Ugly".

Thank you for your Service!
Men?
There's a lot wrong with this movie. It has a huge number of flaws and issues in technicalities, continuity, editing, and production. And despite all of that, it remains my all time favourite movie.
The cast in this film is epic! Clint Eastwood said in an interview that some of the best parts of this movie were left on the cutting room floor.
Always with the negative waves!
Or by no muzzle flash in Oddball’s tank cannon. They just exploded.
@@coppulor6500
Haha!!!!🇺🇸
@@bwca4454 They should ask Sgt. Bilko about fake Muzzleflashes.
They need to make and EXTENDED version with all the cut bits :)
I can't listen to 'All for the Love of Sunshine' anymore without hearing in my head the explosions, machine gun fire and screams. Love this movie.
Funny it didn't come out till 1970, by hank williams junior
"See, when we go into battle man, we like to play music very loud, It calms the boys. Heh heh, and scares the hell out of the Germans." (Off the top of my head)
It’s a song from 1970 , but since oddball and his men are anachronisms themselves it seems fitting.
"Burning Bridges"?
The Dirty Dozen and Kelly's Hero's... Time less classic that never get old..
One of the great films that has become a well deserved classic.
No one would ever attempt a remake - ! 😮
Three Kings...
No! No they can't!. Never!.
@@MCMXLVI Three Kings
I hope they don't do a remake, it'll be a travesty
“Three Kings” is a watered down version of this movie🧐🇺🇸✌️
This movie was awesome and the tank crew with Oddball made it even more funnier.
One of the greatest films ever made.
It really was
LOL
If you are a "gung-ho" American who knows nothing about WW2, then yes.
Very much agree.
Now I have to rent it.
Fantastic....takes me back 4 decades
Yep, it played at our drive-in for months.
Watched this movie a thousand times. LOL. Never gets old.
Still watching 😊
Same here, great movie.
Good movie
Simply one of the greatest films ever made
This is one of those you can put on the "watch over and over again" movies... classic.
Are used to watch this as kid back in the 70’s on a Saturday afternoon. Roast beef hero in hand. Classic.
RIP Donald Sutherland
Never heard of him.....
woof woof!!
@@jw33 there you go with them negative waves.
@@discoveryman59 thats my other dog impression.
Oddball the trippy warrior 😂❤...One of the best War films ever made 👌 👏...
Saw this at the cinema with my Dad when it was first released. Loved it then and still do. Probs my favourite film ever.
“Tygas? Where da hell da Tygas come from ?” Kojack was the best! Rip, Telly
"Well that's why we have Oddball and His Shermans....."
This is highly appreciated!
My grandfather would thank you for showing me this 🎨🍀🍀🍀
One of the best parts of the movie!. All for the love of sunshine and I've been working on the railroad are the best songs in my mind today at 68years old!.
Me too at 68!!
Top Ten Movies, for Guys who Love Movies. Great Cast. RIP , Oddball, Crap Game, Big Joe, Little Joe, Willard.
As a veteran (US Army 1973-1980) and a model railroader the bonus for me in this clip was the music I"'ve been workin' on the railroad" at the end.
Yeah that music clip is spot on for the Scene.
Haha!!!
Kind of rubbing it in to any Germans who might have survived
I was on the floor laughing when "I've been working on the railroad" began to play. They definitely did some work on that railroad yard to improve the view and let more sunshine in. Absolutely one of my favorite movies. Don Rickles attended a roast of Clint Eastwood in 2000 in which he said, "Some friend you are, Clint.

This movie was released when I was young. Watching it made me feel good and reminded me of my favorite stars.
i can watch this movie over n over again
…and I do…😊
A classic military film with a legendary cast
This movie was almost perfect. Cast, the plot to go steal gold, behind enemy lines. Even the banter back and forth between the actors. A perfect adventure flick.
The banter nails it - So very realistic in the US Army I served in.
This was a damn good movie with greats like Carroll O'Connor, Donald Sutherland and Clint Eastwood and not to forget Harry Dean Stanton.
But my hair is still in curlers
Epic movie! The fights with the Tiger tank are just great to watch! Seen it many times, never gets boring.
Well , I’m eating cheese, drinking wine and catching some rays.
Ha.
Why aren't you up there helping them?!?!
Oh, I just ride em, I dunno what make em work.
I met the chap who wrote this around 25 years or so ago. He lived in London and I was there to film him for a documentary about a BBC production he had also written. He also wrote the Italian Job. He was such a down to earth chap.
I never noticed that he wrote both of those. Thanks.
@@EthelredHardrede-nz8yv Both movies also had the same director, Peter Collinson.
Great scene. He sounds really like a professional Tanker when the stop in the tunnel
When they go into action, Oddball is deadly serious!
He knew how to fight, he just chose not to fight for most of the war.
Absolute classic and one of my favorite films, would love to get it in 4K. So many well scripted lines; the one that stands out for me is, when Kelly approaches Mulligan (George Savalas) about doing a artillery/mortar drop without authorization, and hands him a gold bar.

The best war movie ever. Tremendous cast and action. Caroll OCconner around the radio listening to the (game) battle is brilliant.

I grew up on war movies when I was a kid. I'm 71 now.
I saw this movie in 1970 when I was 15 years old. I loved the movie then and its still as good today as it was then.
Where Eagles Dare is another good Eastwood movie from about the same time period
Loved the music of Working On the Railroad as the tanks drove away was funny as hell.
"Up yours" comment by Don Rickles was considered very naughty by 1970 standards.

'When we was in the bocage country we was assaulted by them Tigers. Do you know what I mean by assaulted?' (love how his voice goes up.)
Best line from Oddball ..."to a New Yorker like you a hero is some type of weird sandwich...not some nut who takes on three Tigers!"
Some how one of the best WW2 MOVIES EVER MADE, 😂😂😂😂😂

May as well fight for something you believe in......GOLD!!
As a former tanker, with the second Armor, division, and third armored division. This is truly a classic for all tankers.

They don’t make them like this anymore, and that’s a shame. Good times watching this with my family.
Telly Sevalas would be having a monster career in today’s world of Netflix and streaming.
I liked him in "Battle of the Bulge" as well, lots of funny lines.
