    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Donald Sutherland (Oddball) became seriously ill during filming on-location in Yugoslavia. His wife received a telegram telling her to come immediately but warning her that he would probably be dead before she arrived.
    • Goofs
      The gold bars in the film appear to be standard gold bullion, each weighing approximately 27.28 pounds (436.48 oz.). At the 1944 price of $34 per ounce, 14000 gold bars would have a value of over $207 million, not the estimated $16 million in the film.
    • Quotes

      Oddball: Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

      Moriarty: Crap!

    • Alternate versions
      An older video release has a very quick scene involving Germans trying to jump over a truck (after the group crosses the minefield). This scene isn't in the 1999 video; however, a scene with one of the American machine gun crews right after the deleted scene is inserted.

    A two for one movie

    Kelly's Heros brilliantly mixes your average war movie with a bank robbery movie to come up with a plot that's entirely unique.

    Equipped with an all-star cast, Clint Eastwood and Telly Savalas play the straight guys to the comic antics of Donald Sutherland and Don Rickles. The movie makes no moral judgements about bad guys and good guys and simply shows the characters of both sides a path to redemption in the midst of war. In addition, the theme song, "Burning Bridges" is rendered with a youthful tone by the Mike Curb Congregation, which reminds us that in reality, people not much removed from childhood are the ones sent into battle.

    We cheer when they get their just rewards.
