Kelly's Heroes?

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!!"

I apreciated that the filmakers made the effort to have realistic war materiel represented in Kelly's Heroes. Unlike say "Battle of the Bulge" (which I like too) but used German-marked M47 Pattons in place of various model Panzers.

I can only echo what has already been said about the movie. That being, Sutherland owned it. (and rather than hijack this thread, I'll start another!)
