Kelly's Heroes 001

Opening Credits

The theme song somehow works perfectly for not only this scene but this movie in general. Probably my favorite WW2 movie, particularly given it’s loosely based on a true story.

Happy 50th Kelly's Heroes ! Greatest War Movie Ever - screw the war -lets go rob a bank thirty miles behind German lines !

The next scene is one of my favorites. "Oh you can't hear me. The reason you can't hear me is because you're firing your morters at you're end, and they're landing here at our end... "

This scene always brings a smile too my face

This "hiding in plain sight" move is just crazy enough to work. All the troops would be too cold, wet, and focused on their own misery to look too closely.

The BEST opening of any WW2 movie!
One of my favs!

I always love how calm the three of them look while driving with all those German soldiers, especially the German colonel and the guy sitting behind him. 🙂

My dad had this movie on DVD. I tried watching it one afternoon and couldn't get past this first scene. I also couldn't stop watching this first scene. At first it was disbelief. But then I fell in love with this scene. I have no idea what the rest of the movie is about.

Great movie, great soundtrack. Trivia: the writer Troy Kennedy Martin was the same guy who wrote British TV show "Z-Cars" as well as the original "Italian Job" movie with Michael Caine.

The perfect opening (and song) to this movie!

I must have been six going on seven when I first saw this back in 1978 but I didn't take much notice of it. Nine years later, however, in December 1987 I remember seeing the film again only a lot fucking more of it, only saw a bit of it a few years later in 1991, the scene where the commander of the Tiger is asked to swing his turret round so that Kelly and his gang could blast the doors open but it was about 15 years ago when I saw the film in its entirety and I was so impressed that I bought the video! If you're never seen it, then you don't know what you're fucking missing! It is just one of the best war films ever fucking made! Mind you, after a few times, it gets a bit samey. Not long after I bought this film I also bought Raid On Rommel which has 1971 written all over it. It's good but it lacks authenticity because the German tanks are just M60 Pattons with balkenkreuzen (the black crosses used on all German vehicles and aircraft) on the fucking turrets and, as for the German half-tracks, they're not fucking German at all!

I always felt sorry for the guys getting drenched while getting their chow LOL!
