In March 1945 Major General Maurice Rose facing two tiger tanks and a German soldier sitting in the hatch holding an MP 40 reached for his pistol belt almost certainly to drop his weapon but the tank soldier seen it as him reaching for his gun and shot him dead. Even an American inquiry blamed the fog of war rather than the German soldier for his death.

Absolute classic and one of my favorite films, would love to get it in 4K. So many well scripted lines; the one that stands out for me is, when Kelly approaches Mulligan (George Savalas) about doing a artillery/mortar drop without authorization, and hands him a gold bar. Kelly says “can you do it?”… mulligan says “Sure … why?”. Kelly responds annoyed … “what do you mean why?”…. Mulligan (gazing into the gold bar) “… why not!!!”. Classic!!

[@Harikejn]

Here are couple of fun facts of Kelly's Heroes (believe it or not): 1. The movie was filmed in Yugoslavia; 2. The Tiger Tank was a rebuilt T-34 (that was uses in mentioned movie) for filming Yugoslav war movies (some call it partisan movies). Even some rumors are that the mentioned rebuilt T-34 into Tiger tank was also used when filming movie Saving Private Ryan; 3. When was movie Kelly's Heroes was filming, the American movie crew also was working along with Yugoslav movie crew when filming movie The Battle For River Neretva (and also they used mentioned rebuilt Tiger tank); 4. The plane on 3:15 that is potraying to be Texan fighter is a Yugoslav Soko 522 plane (one of these Yugoslav airplanes is also somewhere in USA, by one collector). Soko 522 was mostly imitating the German Focke Wulf 190 in Yugoslav war movies; 5. The Sherman tank scene on 7:57 was filmed on mountain called Fruška Gora, which is near city of Novi Sad (today's Serbia); 6. The Sherman tank that Donald Sutherland used in the mentioned movie is in Museum of Vojvodina in city of Novi Sad (today's Serbia) (and even is today there); 7. When Clint Eastwood made a break of making movie Kelly's Heroes, he occasionally came to city of Novi Sad. You can find the pictures of him in Novi Sad on internet, and perhaps on social media (not sure about that); 8. The second country in the world that had Sherman tanks in large numbers was Yugoslavia; 9. If you ever visit city of Novi Sad, you can come to downtown of mentioned city, where you can see also a commemorative plates of the important years that occurred in the city of Novi Sad (and one of them was written that in 1969 the Kelly's Heroes was filmed, and also Clint Eastwood, Telly Salavas, and Donald Sutherland came to city of Novi Sad). And those are the fun facts dear people.

A discrepancy that I noticed years ago when rewatching this movie (I've lost count how many times I've watched it) is that earlier in the movie Oddball's Sherman has the speaker on the right side of the turret, yet here and throughout the rest of the movie the speaker is on the left side. I had made this comment in another YT video about the movie, and someone replied that the Sherman with the speaker on the right side of the turret wasn't Oddball's. The thing you see here is that only Oddball's Sherman has a speaker on it. Neither of the other two has a speaker at all.

[@jameszabinski3558]

Yep, I caught that as well. Hollywood license, tank would have had to be facing the other direction in the beginning for Oddball to show it off

[@VintageEra-r4f]

I suppose if you wanted to deep dive into what-ifs, the speaker could have been removable, held on with a wing nut. The headlights on the Sherman were removable to keep them from getting damaged during combat. Good catch regardless.

[@MrYfrank14]

Oddball was getting negative waves from the speaker so he moved it. It doesn't matter what side the speaker is on. There wasn't any technology in WWII that they could have used to play music over a speaker in a moving tank. But, we do not care.
