Just wanted to give a heads up that super Walmarts are selling "Kelly's Heroes" on DVD for $5 bucks! I got me a copy! :D

The idea of the guys from Kelly's Heroes trashing Walmart almost make it worth visiting...

Oddball: "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 Wallmart... or maybe even MacDonalds."

I agree, a definite sign of the times that the movie was made... but I love it anyway.

Be sure to check out the Blu-Ray bundles...I got two packs of Kelly's Heroes/Where Eagles Dare and Battle of Britain/A Bridge Too Far.

Nothing like Spitfires and Oddball in HD :D

I like the Soko 522s standing in for P-47s (?). They're a nice break from the usual Hollywood T-6 Zeros, Kates, P-47s, Hellcats, Wildcats, etc!

(No offense to T-6 fans!)

It's easier to wrap your head around it if you think of Oddball as a Beat Generation predecessor
from possibly Hipster beginnings... :D
