He can now drink wine, eat cheese and catch the rays without getting asked about the tank.

One of my sweet dad's all time favorites. Seeing this brings back great memories of watching it with him, my father laughing out loud, tears rolling down his cheeks. Thanks for the memories guys ❤. Love, as always, from Holland

Im so glad you had good memories with you father like this. I never expected it to be this funny, but it was. It's great to hear from you again. I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you, I have not managed my time very well as of late, but we were wondering how you had been. Love from Texas to you and your family as well!

The "key" is a tactical symbol for the 1st SS Panzer Division--"Leibstandarte SS A. H."

This one and, THE DIRTY DOZEN.

Kudos for reviewing this classic 👍

33:05 No, the key in the Tiger has nothing to do with the Papal (Rome) keys. It was the symbol of the 1st SS Leibstandarten Adolf Hitler Panzerdivision. It was a key because it's commander was Sepp Dietrich, and Dietrich means "lock pick" in German

The key insignia on the Tiger designates it as a unit of the 1st SS Panzer Division (Leibstandarte) It had nothing to do with the Papal States. It is a military pun. The commanding general of the 1st was Sepp Dietrich. In German, the word Dietrich was slang for a skeleton key or lockpicker.

Filmed in Yugoslavia, where WW2 Sherman tanks were still in-service in large numbers. Thus, the enormous line of Shermans passing by the squad's farmhouse are all real. This is based on a true story, but the GI's who took part had to desert the US Army wound up fleeing to Switzerland and starting new lives there. Did you spot a very young Harry Dean Stanton as one of the GI's ("But my hair's still in curlers!")?

We noticed in the opening credits that this was filmed in Yugoslavia. Also, We did indeed recognize Harry Dean Stanton, from Alien among other things. Good observation!

Same with me...this one and The Dirty Dozen.....a couple of the same actors in it too....I usually binge watch them together.

Kelly's Heroes director, Brian G Hutton also directed Where Eagles Dare, another WW2 film starring Eastwood and Highway To China starring Tom Sellick.

That's a good resume from what I hear. We are definitely interested in Where Eagles Dare, but I have not heard of Highway to China. We will check that one out for sure. Thanks for the recommendations!

SO many stars! Telly Savalas, his brother George, Donald Sutherland, Clint Eastwood, Don Rickles, Stuart Margolin, Caroll O' Connor, Gavin McLeod, Harry Dean, Karl Otto-Alberty, and on and on. A funny and star-studded film!

Up until the 1960s - late 1960s, you would not have been allowed to "get away with it" on a movie. When I saw this as a kid, I kept waiting for them to get caught. It was quite a kick to see them actually get away. Even the German.

That would explain why three of the most brilliant heist films are from the 1970s when the genre came into its own: this, The Sting, and The Great Train Robbery.

Indeed true. The 'Industry' wanted to make sure the old adage that "crime doesn't pay" was adhered to on the silver screen! 🙂

Uncle Leo missed out on the gold, or he wouldn't have had to be fishing watches out of the trash- Meanwhile Moriarty bought himself a cruise ship...

Naw, Moriarty moved to Minnesota, and worked as a writer on a TV news station with Mary Tyler Moore.

Great flick!

Donald Sutherland was great as Oddball, a hippie, before the hippies. Rip

This movie is very realistic in platoon dynamics or how men in combat think.

This is my favorite heist movie, and one of my favorite war movies! Burning Bridges is such a great song!

They werent going to play ACDC in the 40s but they played Hank Jr from 1968 instead

Mulligan was played by Telly Savalas' brother. If you look at Kelly he is still wearing an officer's shirt. Clermont is in central France btw.

This is a great movie....now you need to watch, THE DIRTY DOZEN.

When I was in Iraq, I was in the 3ID, but we were attached to (I believe the 1AD). After combat we were authorized to were either patch as the combat patch on BDU's. The 3ID patch is more prestigious than the any armor patch.

12:58 When the best bowel movements I had was when I used a box of MRE's as leverage when kinda sitting.

Switzerland baby.

Apparently this was actually based on a true story! RIP Oddball 😢

They all booked it across the border into Switzerland.

27:55 - Tumbleweeds came from central Russia, not Italy.

When he received the Kennedy Center Honors . . . kzread.info/dash/bejne/jIWryc6ofa-4dJs.html Donald Sutherland and Don Rickles were both part of the tribute to Clint Eastwood. This movie is all fiction, but there was a heist of German gold by a special group of soldiers designated to transport gold hidden in the salt mines under the Obersalzberg mountains on the German-Austrian border. Most of those men were cashiered, but all the gold was never recovered and remained missing after the men were discharged.

Just think, If Uncle Louie left the group and got on the tank!

19:00 It's not the gold it's the men who died that he had a bond with.

They did a remake of this “Three Kings” set in the gulf war. I didn’t think it was as good with attempted social commentary.

Can't shoot footage without The Message. Someone might forget to be a post industrial techno-serf.

When I was in Iraq, in didn't have a haircut for six months, so Oddballs hair is not odd. The beard is a bit much.
