Amazon.com:
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

Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A fantastic laugh, a classic, definitely good for the soul..
This is probably my very favorite film of all times..

I remember this one when I was 16 years old or so, my parents just purchased a video recorder (VCR as it is called in the US), which was at the time a luxury thing in your house - this is the mid-80's.. This is one of the first films we recorded, that we kept on showing to people visiting us: look at this awesome film, this is what you can do with a video..

I saw this film dozens of times, and I can dream the dialogues, ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A family favorite!!
This is one of my husband's favorite movies.In fact, the theme song "Burning Bridges" is the song he wants to have played at his funeral.A great movie even for people who don't normally like war movies (like me.)

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Kelly's Heroes
The product cannot be played on my DVD-player because of "area-limitations".
Subtitles only from England and France - I'm living in Denmark as a danish citizen and my language is danish.
It was a wrong product in this case.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Overlooked WWII cult classic
This is one of my favorite WWII movies of all time. Normally, I really don't like to watch movies more than once or twice, but this one I can watch over and over again.I read a critic review of this movie several years back and he said it was just a poor rehash of "The Dirty Dozen". Nothing could be further from the truth.

This is what you would consider a "Black Comedy". It has both sublime and hilarious comedic performances interwoven with pathos, suspense and hard-hitting WWII action. ... Read More

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - An Awful Eastwood Bomb!
Stay away from this awful movie.although Eastwood's done a lot of great work in his 40 + years of filmaking, this is one movie to pass up. Donald Sutherland's hippie character is a complete waste, while Carroll O'Conner's character is simply a caricature of an inept army general. Eastwood does his wooden impression of a concerned soldier. Sadly, Savals and Rickles are the best actors in the whole movie. Poor attention to detail throughout: no one gets dirty or has a five o'clock shadow, despite marching ... Read More
