I've the DVD of it from the Clint Eastwood Collection. The audio has been remixed to 5.1 and well, isn't the greatest, but is a little better than the old track. I recall that the effects, music, and voices were rather unbalanced to each other resulting in the need to watch the volume control closely to hear what's being said while not being blasted out of the room with the rest. Still, I may have to watch this again soon.

Funny, when I saw the thread title I was thinking the same thing.

I've always enjoyed that movie, could that be an Altec horn on the front of Oddball's tank??

One of my favorite movies. If Im flipping through the channels and its on I will stop and watch it. Same for The Great Escape and Stallag 17. I also have it on dvd not bad. " Stop with the negitive waves"

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!)

HBO is currently rotating Kellys Heros. It's next showing (in MY area, that is) is thursday at 4:35 AM. I've already set my DVR to record it, add it to my list of "weekend-watchables".


Musta seen it 20 times in my life but I could watch it again!
