I love this movie! Donald Sutherland...as the worlds FIRST hippie...gives this movie its charm. Great cast throughout. I love the scene where "Oddball" & his crew drive the 3 Shermans out from a train tunnel while blaring music from the tanks loudspeakers and do a suprise attack some Germans!
The German "Tigers" BTW....were not real. Those where definetly operating mock-ups. VERY good mock-ups though. The Shermans however, were real.
My fav part:
Eastwood: "So..Oddball whataya think?
Oddball: "It's a wasted trip baby. No-one said ANYTHING about locking horns with Tigers!"
Eastwood: It's simple, YOU create a diversion and keep those tanks occupied while they sneak into town"
Oddball: "Hey man! The only way I can keep those Tigers busy is by letting them shoot holes in me....They'll hear my detroit engines LONG before I get into town"
Eastwood: "No they won't because the church-bells will be ringing and we'll do it when they start up the tigers engines, AND I'll be right up on that turret next to you!!"
Oddball: "Like...Groovy! I mean WOW!...So many positive waves it can't miss!! You're ON!!"
