Yes, a classic in all respects!

There is one guy who has a m1 grand.

With magazines with 10 000 bullets

There are plenty if you look, just none seen firing.

In this case, that's actually intentional: Earlier in the movie you hear the leader request for a bunch of Thompsons from a quartermaster.

@@Soundwave3591 Yup. I think the point is that Kelly's crew aren't exactly a conventional outfit.

👍

yeah like most German soldiers had kar 98ks or other bolt actions.

Was just about to say this. So fuckin' weird.

The US Sniper soldier was carrying a Mosin/Nagant. Remember, at the beginning, Kelly asks Crap Game for 15 Thompsons and a couple of 30 cal machine guns. I would speculate the the Germans, leaving from a fixed base, going to investigate an event at the mine field, may very well have chosen the MP40s, in anticipation to a fire fight. These are not general, every day front line units, at this point.

@@jason60chev On your last point, that was not at all the normal formation of a German infantry platoon. Out of a squad of 10 men, I believe only 2 carried MP40s as the most common formation. I could understand why they (the Americans) might've wanted to have submachine guns for such a close quarters ambush though. It just looks weird from a historical sense.

And no one reloads lol

LOL!

😂😂😂👍

@@billmers3219 😎

Even as a kid I thought that was cool...

The judges were about to, but they got shot before posting the score.

I love this movie, second only to 'Where Eagles Dare'.

Because they are trying to cower from grenade.

Что остаётся делать не стоять же статуей

@@bogodogo yeah, that's the stupid reason behind this

Time is money.

Yeah, wasn't that German Army base just nearby that minefield?

It was just a random patrol. They weren't responding to the mine going off.

@@foreverblueclassics No, it was not a random patrol, they received a phone call about the mine and went to investigate it.

@@Chemnitzer It's been a while since I watched it but I stand corrected. But they certainly don't know where it went off.

@@foreverblueclassics We can assume, they were told with some approximation by the one who called them. Never mind. But what makes absolutely no sense for me is, that the German commander orders his seven soldiers to go and closely check the 'something' on the minefield. He really wants them to walk into the minefield?!

They wiped them all out to a man! Only Clint and Telly could do that lol!

@@foreverblueclassics Yes, and even having Don Rickles helping out....a very odd role for him....didn't get in the way. Lol

@@oldwestguy Yes, I think he was there for the comedy element. And it worked!!!

@@foreverblueclassics It did... I've heard stories about him breaking up the other actors on the set. They had to re-shoot some scenes because of it. Actually, Rickles was a trained actor and could perform quite well in various types of roles. For my taste, as far as humor goes, a little of him went a long way. But I did always admire his talent... unlike many comics, his style was, for the most part, unscripted. He pretty much "winged it" in his act, because his "shtick" really depended on that particular audience.

@@oldwestguy He's not really that well known in the UK so I can't comment on much else he did. But I thought he was good in this. Even Telly Savalas was good in this one, and that is saying something!!!! Clint Eastwood brought out the best in them both perhaps?

Good chick pickup line.

I wonder if it's Lindybeige approved

@@firingallcylinders2949 LIndybeige!!! that guy is awesome I was hoping he would do more crafting videos for miniature wargaming.

I love it too, though 'Where Eagles Dare' is my favourite. But this runs it very close!

@@foreverblueclassics oou my friend another epic movie all the movie everything in the Where Eagles Dare with my lovely Eastwood and the Richard Burton but the theme song to the begging of the movie iam so excited for the music and for the German airplane that fly to the mountains with the snow and the specially camouflage of this plane. All the movies with the B' World War I like so much like the Battle of the Bulge.

@@neda981 Yes, the score in 'Where Eagles Dare' is magnificent, and the title song to 'Kelly's Heroes' is very catchy as well. They had some great music in so many of the movies from that era. 'The Battle of The Bulge' is OK but not a favourite of mine, though I've not watched it for many years to be fair.

Me too! Only 'Where Eagles Dare' tops it for me.

He knows how to be cool 😁

It's my second favourite war movie (after 'Where Eagles Dare') and I love it. I also uploaded the RR scene (and other action scenes) in other videos. I hate it when they make cuts like that, being way too PC!

​@@foreverblueclassicsInteresting. I like it too but it wouldn't make my top-ten list. There are SO MANY great war movies.

@@thesixshooter6506 It's all about opinions and there are so many movies to choose from 🙂

​@@foreverblueclassicsDefinitely. Some of mine, in no particular order: The Longest Day Hacksaw Ridge To Hell And Back Hamburger Hill Flags Of Our Fathers Anzio Firebase Gloria MacArthur Patton The list is endless...

@@thesixshooter6506 Of course, and I would add 'A Bridge Too Far', 'Where Eagles Dare' (my fave), 'Sink the Bismarck', 'The Cruel Sea', 'The Dambusters', 'The Battle of Britain' and 'The Eagle Has Landed'. But the there are scores more I could list, plus TV series.

😁

That is actually a real cool effect.

@@dougbrowne9890 🙂

German: Please, I just wanna get out of this truck. Frag grenade: Nope!

@@JerryMat2 He did get out. Just not in the way he wanted 😁

I couldn't agree more. It's my second favourite war movie after 'Where Eagles Dare'.

@@foreverblueclassics where eagles dare such class or the original 1972 i think Dunkirk with john mills

@@djjonmaby3995 Yes, very much. 'Dunkirk' is much older than 1972 though, it dates from 1958!

“Don’t you go blaming me Oddball!!! I had nuthin but good thoughts about that bridge!!

To be fair. Just a bit considering the attempt to recreate a german Tiger tank at the last act.

Few are.

True, but they are a good distance down the field and so probably not in the line of fire.

According to story the field is a minefield, two guys stuck there while others managed leave and put up a defence.

@@tompamiklos8274 Ah, makes more sense. Thanks.

@@matebognar5184 It's fun.

@@foreverblueclassics Yep

It's a caper movie, like a comic book, and if seen in that way it's a classic!

This is one of my favourite movies, second only to 'Where Eagles Dare' 😎

@@foreverblueclassics Incredibly The Cutthroats is one of my favorite movies :) I think that you can do reupload of the ambush scene from the aforementioned movie and from the movie all by itself

@@foreverblueclassics I absolutely love it lol 😆

@@tanktank3874 😉

And long may it continue in this form. All wars should be fought on the silver screen with no one really being hurt lol.

It's on in the UK often.

I think the extras in this movie were actual Yugoslav Army soldiers. Or do you mean the Americans? Granted one or two had seen better days lol.

@@foreverblueclassics I meant the Americans. They're all well into their forties (or certainly look it)

@@hannotn Yes, one or two were a little over the age shall we say lol.

Couldn't make a movie like this with 20 year old unknown actors.........Sometimes, you need the NAMES, regardless of whether they look too old/young for the characters. Big Joe, being a Master Sgt, you might expect to be older, but then, maybe not, given how quickly soldiers advanced in rank, due to attrition, etc.

😁

😁

yeah it was like he hit a trampoline fucking balletic LOL

It is indeed!

Es muy divertido.

Yes, it works every time lol.

But they still have their NCO's.

The movie was made in Yugoslavia. There is a lot of Eastern Bloc weaponry in it (the American sniper uses a Russian rifle, the "Tiger" tank is plywood and tin plating on a T-34 and so on...).

@@HO-bndk The leather magazine pouch that Kelly wears is Czech, I think

I want that Thompson that Telly has ... drool 🤩

thats one platoon...wtf?

Оливер, что тут странного, ради двух человек можно и армией пожертвовать. Такие понятия у американцев, но на самом деле боливар, не выдержит двоих, и ничего личного Боби это просто бизнес

You don't know much about World War 2, do you? Besides, this is a movie.

I don't think anyone, who had been in continuous combat, had regulation anything.

The German gunner is Unterfeldwebel(no pips on shoulderboard), not Oberfeldwebel. Oberfeldwebel has 2 pips on the shoulderboard, Feldwebel(NCO standing behind the gunner) having 1 pip on the shoulderboard.

Old movies are ace for that 😁

Makes you wonder, Germans never even seem to aim their weapons straight. Just fire and miss.

If a mine exploded, it was probably a misfire or a deer, then you send 2 men to look. But not half a division. 🙄

well i would not say a few americans destroying an entire germane troop with full auto weapons only and the germans not hiting a shot and for some reason not having grenades is realistic

I don't think this was a low budget movie though. I just think the automatic weapons are more dramatic so they went for them.

The very one.

'Kelly's Heroes' is original title.

LOL!

😁

First movie for Rickles was "Run Silent, Run Deep", with Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. IIRC, Rickles was an able seaman on the sub with one line.

@@markthomas6436 👍

Rickles barely spoke as the character Billy Sugar in Scorcese's "Casino", but was great in that role.

What do you think of the Waffen SS tank commander in the movie?

👍

They didn't know the tank crews personally.

The tanks were put out of commission that doesn't necessarily mean all of the crews were killed.

😄😄😄

Until they died or were captured. Then they sent out kids and old folks.
