Kelly's Heroes (1970) - Mulligan scene

[wayneparker]

I have literally watched this movie a hundred times or more since the first time I saw it as a child back in the mid1970s. And it never ceases to make me laugh even though I know exactly what the next line will be. As a former USMC officer, I well remember one time when my battery was snowed in at Marine Corps Base Camp Fuji and we decided to play movies in the recreation room of the barracks. Every Marine in the room had seen the movie before and yet we all just sat that and watched it, laughing the whole time. Great memories.

I could watch this movie over and over again..probably seen it 10 times already...great movie with a great cast...

I love it how he's almost immediately hypnotized by the sight of the gold LOL

[roberthayes]

Brilliant film, still holds up even today

[oldgoat]

I've watched this movie so many times I have narratim verbatim. I still watch it. One of the best lines I ever heard.
Kelly: Mulligan, I just want to make a proposition to you.
Mulligan: Proposition? Is it dirty or just illegal?

Mulligan was played by actor George Savalas, younger brother of Telly Savalas. At beginning of the movie, Big Joe yells into the telephone at Mulligan and curses him. In other words, Telly Savalas was cursing his own real life brother.

Many great scenes in Kelly's heroes but this one is one of my favs!

[amusedmarine]

Best part is when Mulligan sets his alarm for the barrage to begin. It goes off waking him up and in his catatonic state, he grabs the gold bar as if it were the phone handset and yells "FIRE"!

[bryanpratt]

“You’re a good man mulligan.”
The line cracked me up! 😂

[zerofail.]

That gold bar is probably worth more than Mulligan would make in the army during the entire war

This is THE quintessential neurotic meltdown of all times.

Absolutely hilarious...

[marvinthiessen]

That's Telly Savalas's brother, George, he also was a regular on the TV series Kojak.

"Why what!!" Exactly. Some things you just don't question!

I remember clearly watching this movie with my godfather, who was a WW2 vet who served in Europe. I asked him "Where is all the fighting in this movie? Why are soldiers just standing around doing nothing?" He smiled and said, "Son, that is the reality of war. 95% standing around and 5% spent actually fighting. This movie is about as accurate as it gets."

"Mulligan?! Mulligan?! He hasn't been on time or on target since we got off Omaha beach!"

[roberthaworth]

Reminds me of the woman who told a pharmacist, "I want some cyanide. I want to kill my husband." The druggist replies, "What?! That's illegal! Immoral! There's no way I can do it!" Whereupon she shows him a photo of her husband and the pharmacist's wife lying naked in bed together. "Well, now", says the pharmacist at length, "You didn't SAY you had a PRESCRIPTION...."
