Why was the American sniper using a Mosin Nagan with a PU scope?

Because it's a movie.

Always with the negative waves

Battlefield pickup.

Made in Yugoslavia...Who's Military supplied a lot of the hardware.

Because the props department didn't have anything else?

Because every bathrobe deserves epaulets.

Possible.

There was some Soviet equipment in German Army units in Normandy in 1944, brought back from the Russian Front.

Second line units, Eastern volunteers could have had the stuff.

Why is the Tiger tank a T-34?  It just is.

"Is that Clairmont, Booker?"

Woof, woof.......

Those Koreans could have picked it up on the way over

^ LOL, very good..

This.

We ain't got no booze!

I want to know why they were carrying boxes of gold bars like it was a case of beer.  Can't the props department use real gold bars in those scenes?  I focus on other minor, but important, details.

SHHH!!! The game is on!!

Is that your other dog impression?

"Get the ionosphere the hell off the air!"

We see our role as essentially defensive in nature. While our armies are advancing so fast and everyone's knocking themselves out to be heroes, we are holding ourselves in reserve in case the Krauts mount a counteroffensive which threatens Paris... or maybe even New York. Then we can move in and stop them. But for 1.6 million dollars, we could become heroes for three days.

And Hank Jr was playing for our boys inWWII. Lol..

that was interesting, wasn't it?


at least something heavy even if it wasn't real gold

Major General Colt: [to a room full of officers in reference to Kelly's outfit being behind enemy lines] You're the guys who are supposed to be fighting this battle, and you don't even know where in the hell it is! Well I'll *tell* you where it is! It's 30 miles beyond where you thought it was, Booker!

You are... ze American army!

Filmed in Yugoslavia.  Thanks.

"Maybe he's a Republican!"

you're damn right.  My yarmulke had scrambled eggs on it.

That's my other dog...

Oh, you know. Eating some cheese.  Drinking some wine. Taking in a few rays.

Came to post this

Where are you from Soldier?

New Jersey ....

..................................

We did the calculations one time and 16M in gold in 1944 would have taken 18 wheelers to carry....woof woof!

I was lucky to have seen this in the theater when it came out, immediate my favorite movie.  I also saw Star Wars in 1977 and we all exited the theater in amazement, never seen anything like that before.

"he got decapitated by an 88, I have been collecting his booze"  

77

No baby, we ain't...


Nitpicking Kelly's Heroes from a WWII gear (or history) perspective is completely pointless because Kelly's Heroes isn't really a WWII movie, it's actually a Western that happens to be set in WWII. Once you come around to understanding that it kills all negative waves.

I say, Booker?                  

Yes, sir?

The old man was just on the line!
He says I've broken through a long and entire front!
Why wasn't I told?
 
I don't know, sir.

You're the Communications Officer!
You're supposed to be able to communicate!
Who's broken through and how far have they gone?

Well, no one has, sir.
It seems someone's found a hole in the right flank.
They're trying to push elements of the First and the Ninth into it.

"Seems," Booker?
"Elements of the First and the Ninth"?
Who's pushing them in there, and where the hell are they?

I don't know, sir.

I'm coming down there, Booker!
What's the use of a communications officer who can't communicate?
Communication? He's more like a damn military censor!

I'm back from Paris. I got everything.

All I want is to know whether we have broken through or not!

It's hard to say for certain, sir.
Nothing's been confirmed yet.
We've intercepted some signals that suggest some action at a bridge......near Clermont.

Is that Clermont, Booker?                  

Yes, sir.

Then why in the hell didn't you say so?
That's 30 miles beyond their lines!
You got them on the radio?

Yes, sir.
It's hard to pick them up clearly at this time in the morning.
It has to do with the ionosphere.
     
Get the ionosphere the hell off the air and get them on!

Get out of there, Soldier.
Do something else.

-What's the frequency?

-    kc, sir.

You won't find them easy to follow.
They're using some kind of code.

What code?

Words like "bank heist, Crapgame, Big Joe...Little Joe, Oddball--"

Can anybody get rid of that machine gun for me.

-Yes, sir, there! That's it, that's them!

-Where?    

There! Right on sir. Right there.
There they are, sir. Those are the signals we've been picking up.

Will you shut up and let me try and listen to what they're saying?
             
Oddball, this Kelly.

Kelly, what the hell's going on out there, man?

It's cleared of infantry.
What do you hear from those other two tanks?

No chance, man. They've both had it.
One's in the river, the other's burning.
             
Yeah, I can see them from here. Over.

Where's Big Joe?

On the other side.
Get off the line, I'll get in touch with him.

Fire!

Okay. Over and out.

Kelly to Big Joe. Kelly to Big Joe. Over.

Kelly, it's Crapgame.
What's happening over there?

They're dropping artillery all over the place!
That's what.

Where's Big Joe?

He's not here. He's pinned down under the bridge.

Well, get him for me!
Over.  

Damn! Are we losing them?
We just had them good a minute ago!
I'm doing it, Booker!
Quiet!

What should I do with this?

Get the hell out of here!
We've got the game on!                  

Kelly, this Big Joe.
It's pretty clear over here, except for the artillery.
The bridge is too far gone for vehicles.
You can bring the men over by foot.
Get them moving.

Okay, I'll send them over in twos and threes.
Out.

Petuko, Willard!
Drop your packs and take the equipment across the bridge.

Kelly, what did Big Joe say?

Says he's sending them across.

Tell him to hurry up.
It's getting hotter than hell in here!

-What's going on?

-We're crossing over.

-You're not crossing over without us!

-Then grab your trucks and come on up.
The bridge is too badly damaged.
You want to come, fix it.

Half my equipment's jammed up in the rear!

Un-jam them!

We've lost two tanks already!
I won't stick around to lose a third!

Listen, we made a deal!
Not with me, you didn't.
Here! You talk to Kelly.

Cowboy, stay with the truck.

Ready?

This is Bellamy for Kelly!
We can't use the bridge.
We can't ford the river.
So what do we do?

Go team go. Go!

You've got bridging equipment.
Over.

That's a five-hour operation.
Can you hold on for five hours?
Over.

No, no! Move! On, on! Move!

We're not gonna hold on for five minutes.
You can catch up.

Kelly, we're all in this together.
You can't go it alone!
Over!

We're not gonna wait five hours, either.
If you can't keep up, that's your problem.
We're pulling out and we're pushing forward!
Over!    

Attack! Attack! Attack!
That's fighting spirit I was talking about!
Listen to that guy!
If he was a major, he's a colonel now!

This the Grave Diggers Registration Unit.
We got a stake in this advance, too.

Did you ever hear enthusiasm like that in all your life?
They've even got the damn Grave Diggers!
What the hell am I doing here?
Bonsor! Get me my uniform!

-Get on!

-I wonder where Cowboy is?

Give me that gun!

Pick up that radio!

Faster, faster!
Hurry up you guys!
We haven't got much time!
Get up!

Crapgame, do you like the Army?
Let's go! Let's get out of here!
All right, let's move them out!

-This is it, Penn. We're on our way, baby.

-Cowboy, come on! Hurry up!
Here we go!

-Come on, Cowboy! This train's leaving.

-Give me your hand.

Somebody grab that radio.
There you go!
Come on, up, up!
That a boy, come on!
That's it.

Booker, tell General Castle
that I want every man in this Army...on the road within the hour.
I'm pushing on to the Rhine.

But, sir, Clermont's miles behind enemy lines.

That you, Maitland?

Just back from Paris, sir.

Get my vehicle and driver around here.
You get my box of medals.
I'll decorate every man in this penetration, whoever they are.
They've saved the reputation of this entire Army.
You're supposed to fight this battle and you don't even know where it is!
I'll tell you where it is! It's 30 miles beyond where you thought it was!
Come on, let's get this Army of mine back in the war!

Will you send that?

Shouldn't you wait for the Army to get ahead of you?

History waits for no man.
I have an appointment with destiny in Clermont.
Take this weapon, Maitland.
All right, boy! Make this thing fly.                    

-General, your medals.
-Good luck, sir.

Damn, you gave away the whole movie...

The second greatest movie of the 1970's.

BONSOR!!! GET ME MY UNIFORMMMMMMM!!!


I thought he said Pinesol though...but rousing nonetheless

Hank Sr was what I heard.

Because Bovington Museum wasn't renting out their Tiger 1 at the time.

"All for the Love of Sunshine" Hank Jr. Or did I get my movies mixed up? It's been awhile since I've seen KH's.

that movie helped me on my ACT.

One of the questions was "what layer of the atmosphere does radio waves bounce off of"

Ionosphere.

34 on science.

(don't talk to me about my english score)

Worst ww2 movie. The 60s and 70s directors really did piss poor jobs.

The above has never seen any Italian made flicks on WW II.

You shut your whore mouth! Kelly's Heros is the best WW2 movie ever made. 

".........turned my back and left them standing there"

Hint: It was not a drama.

never saw it

looks like a bunch of hippie crap
