Kelly's Heroes?
Not unlike "The Last Waltz" which deserved a thread of its own, this one is right up there with me. Gazillions of dollars in Nazi gold, freaks everywhere, tanks that shoot paint shells being "held in reserve" by grogged up gypsy crews, real bridge-builders, scammers, Carroll O'Connor as the general that's giving medals to all of them, but him and his aide can't get his radio to work, big German tanks, and a laugh a minute. Great cast.
I have a store-bought videotape copy and the soundtrack blows. Anybody got a DVD yet?

I remember seeing that when it came out. Actually a few times on summer
matinee's. Donald Sutherland and Rickles were priceless too. I haven't seen any movie at all in 7-8 years so I'm no help but that sure was fun. I think there is no making Mike Curb sound good.  Carl

Donald Sutherland barking at people, Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Carroll O'Connor...Gawd, what a marvelous cast..I think they filmed this in Yugoslavia, The Yugoslavs prolly thought they were all mad. Wish I did have a DVD of it..I DO have "Burning Bridges" on a CD somewhere. It was by Mike Curb, who was also the lt. governor of California then, & whose principal job was to aggravate Gov. Moonbeam, Jerry Brown.-Sandy G.

Been many moons for me- I remember enjoying it, but at the same time thinking "These guys got together with about 50 lbs of weed, smoked it all, and then made a movie."

Great flick, think I'll snag it from our local library.
Edit: Just reserved it and on DVD to boot. Ebay's got lots of them and it looks like a 2000 release

Love Kelly's Heroes - One of my favorites, and probably one of the best Tiger tank mock-ups in all of film. Especially pre- Saving Private Ryan.

Saw it at the local drive-in when I was in high school. It was a lot of fun...at least what parts of it I remember. But now that I think of it...most of my life from that time is a blur...

I've had that one on DVD for awhile now and the best part is they used REAL Tiger Tanks in the movie!!Just remember Oddball's advice...You can't put Shermans up against Tigers!
I also like the song "Burning Bridges" by the Mike Curb Congregation...just got that CD last fall for that one song...

The Shermans weren't much good against anything tougher than an armored car. The Germans called them Ronsons and for good reason.
