Synopsis:
While being interrogated, a Nazi officer lets it slip to Kelly (Clint) that there's a bank full of gold 20 miles behind the front line. So Kelly gets some of his pals together to go and get it.

Review:
Now I know what all you smart guys are thinking, you're thinking, "that's the same story as Three Kings". Well it ain't. This is a heist picture, pure and simple. And unlike 3K's (which turns into "the feel good movie of the summer"), Kelly's group of bad-asses never loses sight of the prize. And that's why this is the better movie.

Although Clint and Telly do a good job playing their parts, it's Donald Sutherland as Oddball, who steals the show. He plays a crazy Hippie tank commander, and he gets all the choice lines. Don Rickles plays a pretty good part too, but then again, aside from Casino, I can't name another Rickles picture.

One caveat though, this is a guy movie. So if you liked The Dirty Dozen, you'll like Kelly's Heroes. For the record, I've always liked this movie more.

Special Features :
Released as part of the "Clint Eastwood Collection" you'd think that this DVD would be packed with goodies. Well it isn't. All you get with this DVD is the theatrical trailer and a cast and crew Bio section (and Clint is the only one you can access for more info). What a fucking slap in the face. Somebody must have driven a truckload of money over to Eastwood's house and paid him to put his name on the box. It's obvious that Warner Bros. was just looking for an easy way to cash in on Clint's back catalogue of films. Mofo's.

Video and Audio:
For a movie made in 1970, this is one sharp looking picture. At least the boys a Warner didn't did something right. Everything is clear and clear, with nary a dust fragment or artifact to be seen. Likewise, the Dolby 5.1 remastered soundtrack is the fucking shit.
