"Take a heist movie & combine it with a war movie & what do you get?
Three Kings.
Take a heist film & combine it with a war movie made in beginning the 70's decade & what do you get?
Kelly's Heroes.
A cool cast of actors that include Clint Eastwood, Teddy Savales, Carroll O'Connor, Don frikkin' Rickles & an offbeat yet definitely fun & memorable role from Donald Sutherland.

I love this film! It's not historically accurate but it is fun. Whether intentional or not, this is a precursor to Three Kings w/ George Clooney. A war-time heist w/ equal parts action, drama and comedy. "

"I watched this as a kid and didn't care for it much but, years later, gave it a second chance and loved it! Donald Sutherland is a riot playing a hippie (even though there weren't any in WWII!). Eastwood, Savalas and Rickles round out the cast of a very enjoyable war-comedy. Interestingly enough, for those with a trivial bend, this was a joint US-Yugoslav production and filmed mainly in the Croat village of Vižinada on the Istria peninsula.

"Donald Sutherland as Oddball
Yeah, I know, and I agree with everyone else who has seen this film ...that there were NO hippies in WWII.
So? Sutherland's wacko Oddball is still the most entertaining part of this film - not that the rest isn't. No one will convince me otherwise that this character wasn't the inspiration for the A-Team's air ace Murdock either. =D

"Kelly's Heroes. A classic, right? Well, it's not a classic for someone who hasn't watched it. Somehow, I didn't get around to seeing this one. Just looking at the cast is enough to get me excited about this movie. Donald Sutherland, Clint Eastwood, Don Rickles, Telly Savalas.
