This tongue-in-cheek 1970 variation on The Dirty Dozen looks less fresh than it did in the year of its release, but it still has some enjoyable moments. Clint Eastwood stars along with Donald Sutherland, Harry Dean Stanton, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Carroll O'Connor, and Gavin MacLeod in the story of American soldiers who try to steal gold behind enemy lines in World War II. Sutherland's hippie G.I. doesn't have the sardonic and timely appeal he did during the Vietnam War, but the film's irreverence and several of the performances are worth a visit. --Tom Keogh

 I WISH I COULD OF BEEN A PART OF THIS UNIT! May 19, 2006

One of my all time favorite WWII movies....a little something for everybody....comedy, drama, authentic equipment, great scenery filmed in then Yugoslavia, good plot and storyline, continuity that is easy to follow "....a little chiquita for you Pachuco....." and in my humble opinion an Oscar winning performance by Telly Savalas as Big Joe!
Don Rickles, Donald Sutherland and Carrol O'Connor also gave great performances as did most of the rest of the cast....Clint....well what can you say about Clint Eastwood? No Clint as Kelly....No title.
I remember seeing this movie in the RKO Theatre and sitting through 4 showings and I still watch it at least twice a year and still laugh myself silly.
If you want a break from the gritty and bloody realism of "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers" type of movies you wont be disappointed with the ULTIMATE WWII heist movie.

Its hard to imagine that a war film can leave you with a big smile at the conclusion but here is one that will!
With non stop action, drama and comedy, Kellys Heroes has it all with a top notch cast and soundtrack to boot.
The original script of a bank heist behind enemy lines during WW2 is a classic and is brilliantly executed at all levels.
Even though the film is based on a fictional plot, it still has an authentic feel and is rated an all time classic.
highly recommended.
Kelly's Heroes Strikes Gold March 29, 2006

I love this movie, it's one of my favorites....BUT...... yep, there are a couple of those. Here's what makes it great: The cast is excellent. The guys they got to play the minor parts, like Mulligan the mortar man and Carroll O'Connor's staff, help stretch this movie into the great category. The scale is great. The Allied and German army extras make it feel like, well, there's a war going on. The scenery is fabulous... it has that European flavor all over it. The machinery... here's where the production team scores and the movie really makes it for me. The equipment crew gave German soldiers GERMAN WW2 vehicles the U.S. soldiers had U.S. WW2 vehicles. Remember Fonda's "Battle of the Bulge"? Well, the use of US Korean-era tanks for King Tigers really hurt the "ambiance" of that movie. In this picture, you almost have REAL German Tiger Ones. Why almost? Take a look at the treads and wheels. It looks like they took a Tiger body and turret (or modified one) and put Russian T-34 tracks/wheel assemblies on them. By 1969, there probably weren't many Tiger Is around, but the movie's effort on this front is astounding. There's just enough comedy to "keep the movie real" without turning it into another Fonda farse like "My Name is Nobody". Downside? Well, while Oddball's band is entertaining, they don't fit the era. That said, the movie is enriched by them. The movie really "pushes the envelope" of the era by sneaking in vulgar terms. Now look what our movies are like. My vote for best acting job? Don Rickles. Give the guy a statue! Buy the movie. Enjoy.

Just to say I love this movie, I watch atleast once a day. Donald Sutherland and Telly Savalas are at their best. Its funny, exciting, historically accurate, and will keep your attention throughout the whole movie. With a wonderful soundtrack including the likes of Hank Williams, Jr and the Mike Curb Congregtion you'll love this movie from beginning to end.
