September 3, 2009If you like war movies, and if you like Clint Eastwood...this one is perfect! Neat story, a little irreverent (for it's time)...great acting. No characters better than "Oddball". Even the Love Boat captain was great in this!

July 30, 2009How you can you not like this? Donald Sutherland and Don Rickles in a WWII bank heist.
-
July 28, 2009Jerry's uncle from Seinfeld is in it. Not exactly going for authenticity in this 70's version of a WWII picture but it's nice to see Clint Eastwood and Don Rickles together in one movie. I don't know why but watching it made me realize how difficult it must be to fake being shot....( read more)

June 6, 2009Most everything with Clint is good. This was one ofhis earlier ones. Great supporting cast. Two things didn't work for me: the music and Sutherland's character. Too much of the 60s/70's came through in the acting.

March 11, 2009A battlefield jaunt, complete with anachronistic characters and oddball humor and lots of action. A WWII fantasy heist movie! Perfect -- EXCEPT for the opening (& closing) theme music!!!! Please, please, don't let that turn you off before the movie really gets going! It was NEVER...( read more)

February 4, 2009Guy's Film
This is my favorite Clint Eastwood movie. It's a World War II comedy/adventure movie. It's set in the weeks after the liberation of Paris in 1944. A squad of soldiers in a fictional National Guard unit has been deployed in a rural section of northern France. Every time...( read more) -

January 20, 2009Oddball: Hi, man.
Big Joe: What are you doing?
Oddball: I'm drinking wine and eating cheese, and catching some rays, you know.
Big Joe: What's happening?
Oddball: Well, the tank's broke and they're trying to fix it.
Big Joe: Well, then, why the hell aren't you up there ...( read more) -

January 7, 2009It is essentially a comedy set in the second world war . In it's own light manner it tries to bring some potent war issues .

December 25, 2008Great fun. Although it's deemed as a cult classic, the great ensemble cast and the decent war scenes, lift it up above those ranks. Clint is of course flawless in the lead role, with support coming from the brilliant Telly Savalas. But Donald Sutherland steals most of the scenes ...( read more)

December 21, 2008awesome WWII comedy with an outstanding ensemble cast. great characters, a fun story, and some excellent battle sequences. the perfect mixture of badass explosive action and wry, clever humour. "Will you be quiet, the game is on! Go, team, go!"
-
December 17, 2008Kelly: Well Oddball, what do you think?
Oddball: It's a wasted trip baby. Nobody said nothing about locking horns with no Tigers.
Big Joe: Hey look, you just keep them Tigers busy and we'll take care of the rest.
Oddball: The only way I got to keep them Tigers busy is to LE...( read more) -

December 4, 2008A classic WWII movie with a stellar cast. When American soldiers find out about $16 million in gold being stored in a bank behind German lines, they set out on an unofficial mission to get it, and make themselves rich. Clint Eastwood is Kelly, and it's him that comes up with the ...( read more)

November 27, 2008Hmm for me this film was just amazing cause of Donald Sutherlands character.If he wasn't in it it would of been rubbish.

October 29, 2008Hey, there is no negative waves from this movie. Not your usual World War II movie but a fun movie to watch. Great actors like Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, and Donald Sutherland. I hath to admit that Donald Sutherland character "Odd Ball" is my favorite and Don Sut...( read more)

October 15, 2008Set after the D-Day landing in wartime France Kelly's Heroes is about a rag tag group that stumble's on the location of $16 million in gold. The problem is that it's in a bank that's located 30 miles behind enemy lines. Clint Eastwood stars as Kelly, probably the most normal of t...( read more)

July 27, 2008Well, yeah, man, you see, like, all the tanks we come up against are bigger and better than ours, so all we can hope to do is, like, scare 'em away, y'know. This gun is an ordinary 76mm but we add this piece of pipe onto it, and the Krauts think, like, maybe it's a 90mm. We got o...( read more)

July 11, 2008Review will be written when/if re-watched (Probability: Low).

July 6, 2008An anomaly. A war flick that isn't really about war. WWII merely serves as the backdrop for a story about a bunch of greedy bastards. Pretty neat, I think. A great cast, which includes Don Sutherland as a proto-hippie. I generally do not give a 5-star rating to a film that portra...( read more)
