Reacting to THE DIRTY DOZEN (1967) | Movie Reaction

[@BillyButcher90]

Fun fact: The scene where one of the Dozen impersonates a general was originally supposed to be Clint Walker's character (Posey). But when Walker didn't want to do it, the director randomly selected Donald Sutherland (Pinkley), whose role was only supposed to be small and have one line. This funny scene was what led to Sutherland's breakthrough and being cast in the war satire M*A*S*H, followed by Kelly's Heroes and the rest is history.

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

Wow, I mentioned that detail myself separately. First heard Sutherland tell the story himself long, long ago to Tom Snyder on the late-night Tomorrow show. Along with another story of how he was offered a percentage of the profits in lieu of his regular salary for making a brief appearance as a trouserless professor in National Lampoon's Animal House, but because he didn't think it would make any money he isisted on his regular salary, and thus screwed himself out of millions of dollars.

[@bfdidc6604]

Donald Sutherland (best known currently as President Snow or as the father of Kiefer Sutherland), was prolific in his prime. Some of my favorites of his are Eye of the Needle, The Great Train Robbery, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and The Eagle Has Landed. He also pops up in the Kate Bush video, Cloudbursting. Sutherland is always fun to watch.

[@johnhawk1089]

John Cassevettes acted in movies so he could earn money t make his own movies.

[@jaquesshugossen9398]

Donald Sutherland has done so many amazing roles as mentioned, as well as I think one in "Outbreak". I really hope that she sees both "Kelly's Heroes" as well as "M*A*S*H" as they are so amazing as well and they are both war-"comedies". Donald was also in "Animal House" and another warmovie of "The Eagle Has Landed", well worth a good watch and a good set of cast!

[@BillyButcher90]

@@jaquesshugossen9398 He was also memorable in two roles as a grief-stricken father in Don't Look Now and Ordinary People.

Lee Marvin is buried in Arlington Cemetery, he was a scout sniper in the Marines during WWII. I have visited his grave site in the past.

[@merkury06]

I did not know that. RIP Lee Marvin.

[@BattleGn0me]

I was in the 80's, but back then they didnt have a sustained sniper program. During Vietnam they "reinvented the wheel" again, but after the war the Marines were the only service to set up a permanent dedicated MOS and training system at Quantico. I'm not sure what exactly "Scout Sniper" meant back then, but I think it was more what we could consider a designated marksman today.

[@jimtatro6550]

My late father introduced this to me on TV when I was a kid. 40 years later it’s still one of my favorite movies. RIP dad.

[@tedfordsdrumworld910]

My Grandfather did the same for me. At 43 this still is one of my favorites if all time!

[@MatthewPettyST1300]

My Dad took just himself and me out in San Fransisco and got to watch it in the theater right after it was released. I also took me to see "Bullitt" in the same theater with Steve McQueen . He, my Dad is 3rd gen San Fransiscan ( I'm 4rth gen) and with him growing up there He kept saying "you can't get there" from where ever as the Cars in the movie would turn one corner and show a different street next. We loved him for it.

[@RobTheWatcher]

Same here. My late father showed this to me when I was about ten years old. He loved this movie. Same goes for Kelly’s Heroes and The Great Escape. I grew up watching those. Good times. RIP Dad.

[@franklubbock8400]

Me too, this movie and “the Great escape”

[@lidlett9883]

Same for me

[@billbryant9995]

Lee Marvin was a Marine during WW2. Got shot during the battle of Iwo Jima. True badass. See him in Cat Ballou (1965, western/musical) and The Professionals (1966). The Professionals is a western, and he plays with another true badass in Jack Palance. Before WW2, Palance was a professional boxer. As for Charles Bronson, you might watch him in Chato's Land, or definitely in the Death Wish series!!!! Another great review...

[@FloridaMugwump]

My favorite Lee Marvin movie was "The Great Scout And Cathouse Thursday"

[@StanSwan]

He was also in an early episode of the Twilight Zone where he played a gun fighter.

[@stevedavis5704]

Jack Palance was often the bad guy in the movies he was in because of his rugged looks. They were the result of reconstructive surgery after his face got burned while exiting a burning B-24 bomber while in the Army Air Corps in WWII. It gave him a distinctive unmistakable look that worked especially well in the westerns he was in.

[@garyseward1641]

Just to make a couple corrections, Lee Marvin was shot on Saipan and never made it to Iwo Jima. The Iwo Jima part got started because Iwo Jima was part of the lie that went around the internet about the medic that treated Lee Marvin being Captain Kangaroo, Bob Keshan. Also, if you're speaking about the MP Guard Sergeant, that was Richard Jaeckel not Audie Murphy.

[@kevingouldrup9265]

Bronson was in the USAAF in WW2 flew 25 missions and received a Purple Heart.

[@kurtb8474]

The amount of star power in this movie is massive. The list of notable actors is a long one. Some were stars already and some were future superstars. As a military vet myself, I love Bronson's line at the end of the movie. Another great WW2 movie is Kelly's Heroes. Lots of star power and hilarious.

[@ericanderson8886]

Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Telly Savales, what a cast for this movie. If you want another western, Once Upon a Time in the West is a masterpiece, starring Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda and Jason Robards. Just an amazing movie.

[@keithdean9149]

Don't forget Jim Brown.

[@pete_lind]

Telly Savalas did do The Dirty Dozen, the deadly mission1987 and the fatal mission 1988, where he basically repeated his role from 1970 Kellys Heroes. Ernest Borgnine, General Worden, was only actor that was in all Dirty Dozen movies Also starred with Lee Marvin in 1973, Emperor of the North Pole and 1985 The Dirty Dozen Next Mission, they appeared both in 1955 Violent Saturday and Bad Day at Black Rock, 1953 3D movie The Stranger Wore a Gun. Ernest Borgnine is one of those who co starred with lot of top name actors during his 60 year career from Randolph Scott in 1950s to Bruce Willis in 2010.

[@robpearce7891]

One of Lee Marvin's best performances in my opinion is the film "Hell in the Pacific" which also starred a very famous Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune who was in The Seven Samurai. That's well worth a watch.

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

Mifune costarred with Charles Bronson in a very good Western, Red Sun.

[@nenadjovanovic2400]

[@Echo4Bravo]

​@@user-mg5mv2tn8q👍👌

[@cruesome1971]

I love your reactions to these films. You need to see The Great Escape (another Charles Bronson movie), The Professionals (another Lee Marvin movie) and Stalag 17 (just because it's great and it's another William Holden film).

[@jimtatro6550]

Another great World War II movie starring Lee Marvin is the big red one. It came out in 1980 and it costars Mark Hamill. It’s a great movie to track down.

[@wasgreg]

Big Red One is damn awesome. I run lots of RPG's of various genres, and Lee Marvin's character from Big Red One has been the inspiration of so many military NPC's from my games. Love that movie and may be my fave WWII movie. The intro from WWI was damn good too. Too few reactors ever give the Big Red One a chance.

[@harrytrevenen2310]

Dawn, Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson were pretty good friends off screen, a really good but little known movie starring the both of them is "Death Hunt" from 1981, sure you will enjoy it.

[@darylabrams2]

Death Hunt is a really good film. It's also based on real events I believe.

[@tarmaque]

A sadly forgotten movie to most people.

[@thomasreddy416]

He's right ! Death Hunt is your kind of movie I think. Possibly "Best movie Ever".

[@jenniferjones2863]

I’m old enough to remember eyeing that movie in the theatre.

[@harrytrevenen2310]

[@AlbertHuebsch]

The problem with letting him go is that they would all be sent back to prison for immediate execution of their sentence.

[@Sp33gan]

The fake General was Donald Sutherland, another amazing actor. He played in dozens of movies, but one of my favourites is a little known WWII/Spy film called The Eye Of The Needle, where he is a German spy who learns of the D-Day invasion plans and is desperately trying to get back to Berlin with the information. He ends up on a remote island in northern Scotland and the tension builds from there. You may know of Donald Sutherland's famous actor son, Kiefer Sutherland. Among many other great roles, he was one of the vampires in The Lost Boys, as well as one of the bad kids in the teenage coming of age movie, Stand By Me.

[@alaneskew2664]

He was also considered one of the brat pack of the 80s

[@MaBer-67391]

Donald Sutherland was also President Snow in the Hunger Games franchise.

[@rare_wulf9358]

Yeah The Eye Of The Needle is one of my favorites of his movies, kind of went under the radar as far as being a popular film, it would be great to see her do a reaction, I think she will be the first ever to do so, also would like her to react to, “The Final Countdown” about a USA carrier going back in time. And react to “Excalibur” the one that had Liam Nelson, Patrick Steward.

[@Janbaukeoelstra]

Kelly's Heroes is also a good warmovie with Clint Eastwood😊

[@jamespasifull]

Went the day well? One of the best war movies I've ever seen, I often mention it in online comments, as a 'must-see', it's so raw & brutal, especially the fireside despatch by the postmistress!! I think it's a great display of the courage & fortitude of our little Island, in the face of the massive Nazi war machine, & our determination not to be beaten........at any cost!!

[@porflepopnecker4376]

@@ole9421 As a kid, I saw this at the theater by myself when it first came out and was thrilled! As well as being a first-rate war film, I think it's one of the first of the modern hardcore action movies. Once it gets started it never stops!

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Other great 'Lee Marvin' films are, "Point Blank", "The Professionals", "The Big Heat", "Violent Saturday", "Ship of Fools"; Charles Bronson films, "Once Upon a Time in The West", "The Great Escape", "The Mechanic", and "Hard Times". The fake General was, Donald Sutherland, he's been in loads of films, the ones I recommend are, "Klute", "Don't Look Now", "Invasion of The Body Snatchers" 1978, "Kelly's Heroes", "The Eagle Has Landed", "The Italian Job" 2003.

[@tarmaque]

@@stupidsmart-phone6911 He was in a few Clint Eastwood movies, including _The Eiger Sanction._ Clint is famous for casting the same people over and over again if he likes their work, or if he thinks they aren't getting enough work in the industry.

[@ruthsaunders9507]

He and Lee Marvin were really good in Delta Force too.

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

He won an Oscar for Cool Hand Luke.

[@clarencewalker3925]

Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine, Clint Walker, Richard Jaeckel are all veterans, having served during or after the Second World War. Marvin and Bronson were wounded in the line of duy. And, in accordance to military regulations, you never salute without wearing a hat.

[@stupidsmart-phone6911]

Saluting without headgear is just fine, there are many circumstances for that. The only time you should don headgear prior to saluting is for reveille and retreat and the national anthem if you're wearing a uniform that has headgear. The only exception I can think of is being on a flightline where headgear that cannot be fastened securely to the head should not be worn at all, but you would render salutes and honors as needed as long as safety is not jeopardized.

[@BillyButcher90]

Telly Savalas and George Kennedy also served in WWII.

[@user-mg5mv2tn8q]

Only in the navy. In the other branches you salute, covered or uncovered.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

[@iKvetch558]

OK...she has to see Kelly's Heroes, now...she is going to go crazy for Oddball. LOL

[@ElliotNesterman]

Lee Marvin has been nominated for, and won, many awards, but he only won one Oscar: Best Actor in a Leading role for the Western comedy _Cat Ballou_ (1966). Co-starring Jane Fonda, in the title role, Marvin plays twin brothers, one good the other bad. _Cat Ballou_ will definitely get a Best Movie Ever! Instead of watching _The Magnificent Seven_ again why not watch the film it was based on: Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece, _Seven Samurai._ It's a much longer film, nearly four hours, which allows us not only to get to know the "Seven" better but also delves more fully into the personalities of the villagers and the life of the village.

Jefferson (the man who dropped the grenades into the vent tubes and got shot), was Jim Brown - amazing athlete... James Nathaniel Brown (February 17, 1936 - May 18, 2023) was an American football fullback, civil rights activist, and actor..."Often mentioned as the greatest player in NFL history, this ruggedly handsome African American fullback for the Cleveland Browns first appeared on movie screens in the western Rio Conchos (1964), followed by a strong supporting role as convict commando "Jefferson" in the terrific WWII action film The Dirty Dozen (1967). He was kept busy with additional on screen appearances in other fast paced films including Ice Station Zebra (1968), 100 Rifles (1969) and El Condor (1970). Brown's popularity grew during the boom of "blaxploitation" cinema in the early 1970s portraying tough "no nonsense" characters in Slaughter (1972), Black Gunn (1972) and Three the Hard Way (1974). His on-screen work in the latter part of the 1970s and 1980s was primarily centered around guest spots on popular TV shows such as CHiPs (1977) and Knight Rider (1982). However, Brown then resurfaced in better quality films beginning with his role as a fiery assassin in The Running Man (1987), he parodied the blaxploitation genre along with many other African-American actors in the comedy I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988), played an ex-heavyweight boxer in the sci-fi comedy Mars Attacks! (1996) and ironically played an ex-football legend in the Oliver Stone directed sports film Any Given Sunday (1999). Additionally, Jim Brown was a ringside commentator for the first six events of the Ultimate Fighting Championships from 1993 through to 1996. A bona fide legend in American sports and a successful actor, he continues to remain busy in front of the camera with recent appearances in various sports shows & TV productions." - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGGYpnurhrWEmsk

[@glen1ster]

Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine also starred in Emperor of the North (1973).

[@Madbandit77]

Robert Aldrich directed that film, along with "Dozen". I think he was more sadistic than Sam Peckinpah ("The Wild Bunch", "Straw Dogs').

[@thisisscorpio6024]

(11:29) That's Clint Walker, a man who's 6 6 and had a waistline of 32 inches. Freak of nature. Interesting story. At 26, Clint secured an audition with Cecil B DeMille for The Ten Commandments. On the way there, Clint saw a woman standing on the roadside next to a car with a flat tire. Clint was running late, but he couldn't bear leaving her unassisted, so he helped her with her flat. The woman offered to pay him, but Clint declined. Clint told her he had to hurry because he missed his interview with Mr. DeMille. Clint arrived at the studio and was told to wait. Hours later, Cecil B DeMille entered the room, angry, and demanded an explanation. Halfway through, Cecil interrupted Clint with a laugh, and said, "Young man, you can stop right there, because I know exactly what happened, but what you don't know is, the woman your helped is my secretary." Clint got the part, and more work thereafter....

[@asterix7842]

One of the best war movies ever. I love the war games scene. Charles Bronson was in another great war movie, The Great Escape (1963), and in Once Upon a Time in the West (1969), one of the greatest westerns ever.

The gentle giant "Posey" hit a man "only once" and drove his jawbone UP into his brain is Clint Walker! He starred in a series in the late 50s and early 60s in a: western show called Cheyenne! He was my childhood hero and the show is actually good. Also when you see his demeanor he wasn't acting, that's really how he was, always a gentleman!! And if you like Lee Marvin you need to see the movie that he won his Oscar in! It's a Western comedy called "Cat Ballou" starring of course Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda. A very well done and very entertaining movie. Also Lee Marvin is a good guy in this movie!!

[@gregroye3395]

At 6'6"' Clint Walker was a gentleman on and off the screen. Clint started weigh training during the making of Cheyenne. The director asked him to stop because he was getting too big. As a kid, he was my idol, too!

[@sherigrow6480]

This is a favorite for sure. This movie is mentioned in Sleepless in Seattle. Other films for these actors, Charles Bronson in Mr. Majestic, Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou, Ernest Borgnine in Marty. Also, the handsome black soldier was American football star Jim Brown, and the Latino soldier was famous singer Trini Lopez.

[@Donizen1]

Jim Brown passed away 6 months ago. Three of the actors who played the 12 are still with us. Donald Sutherland (#2), Stuart Cooper (#5) and Colin Maitland (#7). Trini Lopez (#10) passed away in 2020 due to complications from COVID. Was very sad.

Some more movies with Charles Bronson are The Great Escape, Charo's Land, and the Death Wish series of which there were five movies. A good movie with Lee Marvin as a good guy is Paint Your Wagon, which also starred a young Clint Eastwood.

EXCELLENT, one of my all time favorites! Great cast from Bronson and Marvin to Sutherland to Sevalas and the immortal JIM BROWN the football legend. 1) Dawnie presses play 2)...

[@benrast1755]

One of my favorite scenes from "Sleepless in Seattle"...after Rita Wilson tearfully talks about an old romance movie, Tom Hanks and Victor Garber start talking about "The Dirty Dozen" and get all choked up talking about the final battle. :-)

[@marvinsarracino116]

One of my all time favorites! Great cast and I luv Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson! Another similar movie is The Great Escape! Another all-star cast set during WW2. Great reaction you had me laughing and totally enjoying this great show all over again. Thanks❤💛

[@markoliver630]

Jefferson was played by Jim Brown . Hall of fame football running back. All time running record until the great Walter Payton passed him. R.I.P. to both.

[@ik7578]

Kelly's Hero's is another great war movie from that cinematic era.

[@acecombatter6620]

Dawn Marie - Do you know Kieffer Sutherland? The guy that played the fake General is his father Donald. More recently he has been in Hunger Games. He was also in JFK.

[@felipevazquez3395]

He was in crossing lines an interesting series too

[@CEngelbrecht]

Lee Marvin: *"Big Red One",* one of the best WW2 films ever made. Chas. Bronson: *"Once Upon a Time in the West",* the fourth western masterpiece by Sergio Leone (Dollar trilogy fella).

[@ange1098]

Lee Marvin also sang a wonderful song called “Wandering Star” it was in the musical comedy western movie named, Paint Your Wagon. Clint Eastwood also stars.

[@RubyGB]

Clint Walker (Posy) was 6'6 and indeed was a gentle giant. One of the nicest men to ever lives and who always had time for his fans up until his death in his early 90s. He played the title character in the western series "Cheyenne".

[@marieoleary527]

Well finally! One of the best war movies. I know it’s an oldie but a definite goodie!

[@thefatman2780]

TOP FIVE ALL TIME OLDIES BUT GOODIES IN MY PERSONAL SELECTION. ALSO THE GREAT ESCAPE & KELLYS HEROES.

[@tomw324]

Lee Marvin was one of the greats, playing a baddie or one of the good guys, always a great professional actor. And an actual marine from the WWII Pacific. Telly Savalas (Maggot) is playing an unlikable psycho in this one but also a very great actor. Check him out in Kelly's Heroes playing a sympathetic sergeant along with Clint Eastwood...and Donald Donald Sutherland (the fake general) who steals the movie playing a hippy tank driver. You may know him in his very aged form from the Hunger games. M*A*S*H has him in top form. That castle was a set they constructed and then blew up for real with actual explosives. Jim Brown was in real danger in that scene dropping the explosives down the vents and they needed someone who could run fast. A former NFL football player did the job nicely. And you Dawn are just wonderful, glad you liked this one!

[@chrino21]

Lee Marvin is a great bad guy in “Bad Day at Black Rock”, which is another CLASSIC.

[@shainewhite2781]

[@castlew4162]

Another great WW2 movie from the 60's is "Where Eagles Dare" starring Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton. Beautiful locations, real explosions, great stunts, clever writing, mystery, intrique, lots of action, and strong female operatives.

[@brianjones7907]

"Broad Sword calling Danny Boy" I Have to Agree "Where Eagles Dare" is a great watch , I would also surgest the war movie "Battle of The Bulge" 1965 with an all star cast including Charles Bronson & Telly Savalas

[@InsideJobUSSS]

This movie means a lot to my dad. When it was released he checked out his younger brother from the hospital to see it in theaters. He died of leukemia shortly after. I was later named after him.

[@dannybaker4641]

That big guy you're talking about is Clint Walker. He actually fell out of a ski lift and a pole went through his chest. He survived that but died younger than he should have.He was a good actor. Yellowstone Kelley is a good one.

[@dunringill1747]

This is a great classic with a lot of star power! A few Charles Bronson movies I really enjoy that are not on his "more popular movie" list: Red Sun Mr. Majestyk Hard Times

[@thamnosma]

Finally somebody listed Mr. Majestyk. I really like that more than the Death Wish films, though they have their moments. The Mechanic another good sleeper Bronson effort.

[@Col_Fragg]

Another great Lee Marvin movie is "Emperor of the North." It also stars Ernest Borgnine from "The Dirty Dozen."

[@ResidentPetrolhead]

Lee Marvin, man. The king.

[@frozen1762]

Lee Marvin was actually WW2 vet and he hated glorification of violence in Hollywood moves because he saw firsthand that war is hell.

[@mrgclough]

There was a thing fairly popular in this era to plant a singing star in the cast. He would perform a well-known song. It always comes off kind of cheesy. Triuni Lopez was that in this film. He was very famous, particularly for the song he does here. Donald Sutherland was Hawkeye Pierce in the M.A.S.H. movie, which was a pretty faithful rendering of the book, unlike Alan Alda's weepy and pathologically obstructive character in the TV series. Give the film a try. Telly Savalas had a very popular detective series, Kojak with a catch phrase, "Who loves ya, baby."

[@geneval3151]

Love watching your reactions. You're the best.

[@paulhughes4117]

Jim Brown (Jefferson) was a pro "American football" player who went into the movies, after his playing career was over.

[@tehawesomeface1337]

During the war game, The Dirty Dozen moved through a ‘live-fire range’ where real bullets were used. No one is supposed to go there for safety reasons. Changing arm bands to change sides was not allowed. The Dirty Dozen broke all the rules, like in a real war. Maggot was played by the legendary Telly Savalas. He played Kojak, one of the best TV police crime drama when I was teenager. Jim Brown was a superstar football player. Trini Lopez was a famous singer. The gentle giant Clint Walker played a lot of lead roles in film and TV. The fake general is the great Donald Sutherland. I can almost guarantee you’ll be reacting to one of his movies soon. I recommend ‘Kelly’s Heroes’ starring Clint Eastwood. Starring with him were Telly Savalas (Maggot) and Donald Sutherland (fake general). I guarantee you will LOVE them both in this film! Lee Marvin played the same role in a sequel. Unfortunately there was always a ‘Maggot’ in the bunch. The film ‘The Dirty Dozen’ has a special place in a lot young guys’ hearts. There was an homage to it in Tom Hank’s film ‘Sleepless in Seattle’. Tom Hanks and Victor Garber reminisce about ‘The Dirty Dozen’ and you get to see two grown men cry talking about the film. LOL.

[@jschrauwen]

Next Charles Bronson movie - *Once Upon A Time In The West* In true spaghetti western fashion. Great cast including Henry Fonda.

[@williewilliams6571]

Another great war movie with Lee Marvin is "The Big Red One". Another Charles Bronson war movie is "The Great Escape". I'd love to see you react to my favorite movie of all time- "The Sand Pebbles". I have NEVER seen anyone on KZbin do a reaction of it.

[@neogunb3]

If you want to see more of Lee Marvin. I would recommend the western/comedy, "Cat Ballou", with him and Jane Fonda. Marvin plays two roles. The right-hand man to Marvin's character, was Richard Jaeckal. As far as I know, he was always a supporting actor. I remember him best in this film and also in the John Wayne western, "Chisum".

[@chefskiss6179]

Dawn and Dirty Dozen, what a great pairing. Loved this watchalong with you as always, but especially this personal gem. Whenever I watch Donald Sutherland (Kiefer's dad) in 'current' stuff like Pride & Prejudice, The Hunger Games, A Time To Kill, MASH, JFK, and then seeing him in this flick is just amazing seeing his range as a performer. And yeah, when they used to say "they don't make em like they used to", in this industry, they usually mean people like (but not limited to) Humphrey Bogart, Sean Connery, Burt Lancaster, Steve McQueen, William Holden, and especially Lee Marvin.

[@Deegee_1969]

Two more films that showcase Donald's acting skills are "National Lampoons Animal House" and "Invasion of the bodysnatchers".

[@lawrencehawkins7198]

Review Shaft, Castle Keep, Where Eagles Dare, and The Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood.) Also, think about doing Star Trek (1966 - 1969.)

[@Wreath83]

Love your reactions!

[@michaelmccoy8059]

The black guy is Jim Brown. First.amd only Rookie to win the NFL MVP and a first ballot hall of famer . A lot of ex football players started hitting the bi screen after Jim Brown made this movie

[@rubensalvador9422]

As others suggest, Once Upon a Time in the West is a great Spaghetti western with Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda and Jason Robards. Also of note - this is Sergio Leone's movie after filming the Good the Bad and the Ugly. He did 2 more after that (a Fistful of Dynamite and his gangster film Once Upon A Time in America). It would be nice to finish his directorial portfolio.

[@salsonny]

Lee Marvin was shot in the can in WWII

[@HappyHarryHardon]

Something jumped up and bit him.

[@darthvaper7157]

YESSSS!!!!!!! AWESOME THANK YOU : ) Kelly's Heroes next please please please : )

[@gator-freighterlpd-1334]

I highly recommend "The Devil's Brigade". It's a similar premise as "The Dirty Dozen" however it's based on real events.

[@cliffordwaterton3543]

can't believe it - watched this on the TV last night! (for about the 100th time - love this movie). Lee Marvin was one of the best - catch him in 'Point Blank' 'Prime Cut' and 'The Killers' - a total bad ass - or see him do comedy in 'Cat Balou' and 'Paint Your Wagon' - he even sings in that one (went to no. 1 in the UK in 1970). Best Movies Ever!

[@gregkirby9059]

please watch Stalag 17

[@leonbrowder5980]

The big guy is Clint Walker a Western star in late 50's 60' had his own series " Cheyenne"

[@davidalegria1943]

One of my favorite Charles Bronson movies is the white buffalo,and lee Marvin is the big red one.

[@caldwellkelley3084]

Dawn Marie you are an absolute angel! This is one of those movies that you have somewhere to go and you're walking out of the house you see it on and just have to sit down and watch it some. Lee Marvin was a marine during WWII, he always laughed at this movie. He said all the actors were way too old to be soldiers! GREAT Movie! Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it!

[@BillColeExperience]

He was also in the Caine Mutiny, a classic although I don't remember Marvin's part. He was in many WWII themed movies and was wounded on Saipan (like my dad) in real life

[@ruthsaunders9507]

A bunch of these guys did the voices for The Commando Elite in Small Soldiers. Love this movie. My favorite part is when Donald Sutherland reviews the troops. He says out loud what we always knew those guys were thinking when we were lined up for the dog and pony show. It makes me laugh every time.

[@bessarion1771]

Literally every actor in this movie was a superstar, became a superstar, or was famous [Jim Brown ("Jefferson") was a football star, Trini Lopez (Jiminez) was a singer, and even Richard Jaeckel (sgt. Bowren) was in about 80 movies]. Charles Bronson was a superstar in the 1960s and 1970s and even into the 1980s.

[@merkury06]

John Cassavetes, actor and director.

[@bessarion1771]

Of course!!!!@@merkury06

[@rickstanley9710]

Lee Marvin was a US Marine combat veteran, and took part in multiple battles across the Pacific Theater during WWII. He was one tough bastard, all the way around.

[@MasterBiffpudwell]

The cast of this movie is a super star roll call of the 60s and 70s.

[@nationaltrails9585]

Ralph Meeker (Captain Kinder) played Novelist Mickey Spillane's Private Investigator Mike Hammer in Kiss Me Deadly (1955), an influential film noir. A film worthy of reaction. :)

[@rawschri]

Lee Marvin was actually a US Marine who took part in 21 landings on Pacific Islands in 1944, before being badly wounded during the 5 week battle for the Island of Saipan. His wounds were so bad, he spent over a year in Military Hospitals before being honourably discharged ...

[@MrMakemyday3]

jim brown is in the national football league hall of fame. one of the best running backs ever

[@Medicalstench]

fun fact Ernest Borgnine, known for his tough-guy roles, brought the character Mermaid Man to life on SpongeBob SquarePants. Despite his gruff persona on screen, Borgnine was delighted to voice the lovable but slightly senile superhero alongside Tim Conway as Barnacle Boy. It was a delightful surprise for fans to see Borgnine's comedic side shining through in this animated role.

[@custardflan]

Lee Marvin won an Oscar for Cat Ballou, a western with Jane Fonda. Highly recommended.

[@CubaLibre69]

Lee Marvin was a bona fide bad ass. He was a Marine Corps machine gunner shot on an island in the Pacific during World War II. He’s buried in Arlington national cemetery without pomp, or circumstance. He’s buried simply as a Marine. Semper Fidelis.

[@brianjones7907]

Fun Fact 2 : This Movie had 3 Tv movie sequals & series between 1985 & 1988 , in the first a new team was once again led by Lee Marvin`s Major Reisman but for the next two new teams were led by Major Wright played by Telly Savalas , these were followed by a short lived (12 episode) Tv Series in which a regular team were led by Lieutenant Danko played by Ben Murphy...
