Kelly's Heroes | 'Showdown with a Tiger'

Scene from the film KELLY'S HEROES (1970) starring Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland and Karl-Otto Alberty

[Poets]

RIP Mr. Sutherland. ~60 years of film and television is a hell of a legacy.

[cuffzter]

"Kelly's Heroes.. Oh right. It's a war movie. Right?"
"Mmmh. No, baby. It ain't. It's a heist movie, man"

[faerieSAALE]

He was a reasonable German - He weighed his options, a wealthy early retirement in Switzerland was a most welcomed choice!

[ganzano]

The way Karl's eye go wide open @ hearing the 16 million of gold...priceless. Timeless.

[TheNimshew]

Adjusted for inflation, $16 million in 1944 would be $231 million in 2018. A tidy sum

Donald Sutherland’s eye roll and Karl Otto’s reaction to news of how much gold is inside... they really make this scene. Eastwood is so smart— he lets the other characters do their thing. Just perfect.

I pray to God every day that Hollywood does NOT make one of their "remakes" of this masterpiece.

[marksasahara]

I love the call back to Clint's spaghetti western past and the jangling spurs as they walk into the jaws of the Tiger. That sound, mixed with Lalo Schiffrin's amazing music takes everything to the next level!

[Ugh-Fudge_Bwana]

Still think it's hilarious how Kelly's Heroes and Patton were released in the same year, and only the comedy heist film made an attempt to feature period-accurate tanks.

With the passing of Donald Sutherland its time to rewatch KH's for the, how many times??? Just GREAT!

I’ve watched this movie well over 200 times over the last 30 years. It never gets old. Rest in peace, Oddball.

No matter how many times I see this film, I never get "fed-up" with it. It's a beautiful mother of a film and the cast is magnificent.

[sluggerfish]

Probably one of the greatest movies of the last century. Packed full of amazing actor's, paced just right, and never takes itself seriously. "We have special shells, they are filled with paint, it paints pretty pictures, scares the hell out of em"

[bigfoot]

The hard cut to the door blowing up always gets me 😂😂

[robotech]

I remember taking my son to watch this movie in the theaters when it came out. He thought it was the best movie ever made. Last week, his grandson Micheal was born. How time flies.

The Good, the Bald, and the Hippy...

[LeftIsBest]

"You, zee American Army"
"No baby, we ain't..."

Love this movie 😀

[smalltownwhitetrash]

Thats one of my favourite movies... i watch it since 40 years now, 1 time at a year (iam 46 years old now) ; and iam from germany! - This movie called "STOSSTRUPP GOLD" (shock troop gold) in germany! greetings from germany!!!

The only time I ever saw a WWII scene where a tank was involved and it didn't result in the tanks' destruction.

[jacklambert]

I love how the buildup to their conversation is one big obvious tongue-in-cheek homage to Eastwood and his Spaghetti Westerns. The boys are total cowboys in this scene. It's like the buildup to a duel!
