Kelly's Heroes RIP OFF???


Is this a cheap knock off of the ultimate superior KELLY'S HEROES??? It sure sounds like it, with the whole "let's go steal gold" during WWII plot. Only Clint Eastwood and Donald Sutherland aren't in this! lol

No it is not a rip off,the Allies want to recover the treasures before the Natzis can ship them off to Berlin to return to the Dutch government.

Agree.

I agree as well, rip off ( I posted about it in another thread on this board)
By just changing a few simple things you don't make a new movie mister12 :P
It's still the same principle.
Germans steal treasure;allied get them back;make a choice (keep or surrender to the government)

Kelly's was far superior on every front, humour, action,drama you name it.

i think its obvious they wanted the to use the kelly's winning formula. and you are right as it is a low budget. serenity ripping off star wars . oasis ripping off the beatles. burger king ripping off the big mac. mcdonalds ripping off the whopper. i think you get the picture. it happens when you have something great.
kelly's is one of the true greats and would love to watch more films just like it.
i gave a 7

There is a little, Force 10 From Navarone, Where Eagles Dare, It's A Mad Mad World, and Cannonball Run influence as well. It is like they took a little from each film and said, "Who needs a storyline! Lets get a camera!".
