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

- Vietnam Redux-But Without Bitterness
- In KELLY'S HEROES, director Brian Hutton succeeds in reviving an earlier DIRTY DOZEN, and combines it with a Vietnam War style flair of left-wing anti-militarism that nevertheless carries the audience from start to finish. Clint Eastwood is cast in a role well-suited to his earlier penchant for playing the bounty hunter. Here he has learned of the existence of sixteen million dollars of gold in a German… More reviews
- Classic movie
- I bought this movie for my dad as a gift. He said he couldn't find it anywhere! So, I knew where to go! Amazon has everything! He was so excited! It is one of his favorite movies. I remember watching it with him before. It is an excellent and very funny movie! (and I'm not big on war movies!)… More reviews
- Not the great movie everyone here thinks...
- Even though I own this DVD, I would never say it's a great movie. Most of the other reviews here must be from people in their 40s and beyond (I'm in my 30s). I say that because they must have seen this movie when they were young and it affected them in a way that has colored their current point of view. IMO,… More reviews
- CLASSIC ALL STAR CAST WAR EPIC COMEDY!
- If ever there was a "guy" movie....this is it! Eastwood, Rickles, Savalas, O`Connor and especially Sutherland shine in this lighthearted 'Dirty Dozen' clone that will keep you smiling from beginning to end! It does seem slightly dated now, but who cares!....this was Hollywood in the great days when stars sold a picture! This is a must see film and the… More reviews
