Well I’m going to be 50 this year and grew up In L.A. with channels like KCOP which had old classic movies on all the time like for example they’d show old spaghetti westerns, or Dirty Dozen, and I mean just some of the most classic films. Thats what a lot of us grew up on pre cable TV. I don’t think younger people get it because they have many choices of stuff to watch and a lot of times we didn’t. Ask a teen today have they heard of Casablanca or The Maltese Falcon and I bet they have zero clue
Columbo is the best. Each episode seems like it is at a new L.A. Mansion in the 70s. Each Columbo was on location. Not on some Hollywood set. The old technology used as props is classic! The old school actors, the fact there was no technology, just Columbo, his brain, and his little notepad. So good.
What's awesome is that the viewers always knew who the killer was from the very start and the show STILL WORKED. It was a show about mind games, not about mysteries.
Just for the record, Sean Penn's dad Leo Penn directed 6 episodes of Kojak. The most were directed by Charles S. Dubin with 14 episodes. Savalas himself directed 5.
The Dirty Dozen, Kelly's Heroes, Eastwood westerns, and all that 70s stuff used to be on TV all the time between 75 and 85. You'd wake up on a Sunday morning back then and freaking Tarzan movie was on.
Oh being an 80’s kid and loving TV and movies you cannot forget Telly also was in a classic twilight zone episode with Talking Tina. But my fave part in dirty dozen besides the training montage, is when they are doing the platoon military exercises against the elite platoon of soldiers complete with their leader who is talking trash. The Dirty Dozen guys cheat during the exercises and the steal armbands that make them look like they are on the other team, and they end up cheating and winning.
Seems weird that they never did a 21st century version of Dirty Dozen. Thats the go to thing to make way more than a lot of those reboots and remakes out there. Btw Telly did a lo of westerns too. But he was Kojak. Who loves ya baby ?
Same hung made a Kung fu Hong Kong knock off of the Dirty Dozen in the 80s called Eastern Condors... one of my fav Kung fu movies He and Jackie Chan also stole the premise for Winners and Sinners (80s Hong Kong comedy)
The fight between Telly Savalas and Jim Brown has an unknown outcome behind the door that Lee Marvin closes. Bill makes the assumption that the racist character got an ass kicking.
Dirty Dozen is one of the best movies of all time.
Ving Rhames' "Kojak" is a detective who will find you hiding in a bowl of rice ready to pop a cap in yo ass.
Virzi hasn't seen this? What is he - 12??
One of the best war movies of all time with an incredible cast
He’s kind of a dope, I feel like he never adds much to the convo

Donald Sutherland is also great in _The Dirty Dozen,_ and there's an outstanding appearance by Ernest Borgnine during the military exercise scene.
donald southerland is also great in kellys heroes too lol
R.I.P. Donald Sutherland
A great actor

Give me McCloud any day.
I’ve loved this movie for years, I’m glad to hear that Bill loves it too.
Classic
Burr: "There's this crazy rapey guy..."
Izz: "Oh yeah I gotsta watch me that!!!" [eyes dilate]
lol
Ah The Dirty Dozen, one of the greats

My generation's version of this movie was _Nam Angels._ Kids today have _Suicide Squad_ and _Expendables._
True. I watched it as a kid in the 80s and loved it. Suicide Squad has nothing on this film.
The clips relate to what Bill is saying... I give it two thumbs up!
Bill needs to find a way to be a film critic if this comedy thing doesn't work out for him
yeah he needs a real job
The Dirty Dozen, Kelly's Heroes, Eastwood westerns, and all that 70s stuff used to be on TV all the time between 75 and 85. You'd wake up on a Sunday morning back then and freaking Tarzan movie was on.
Damn time to grab this movie at dvd thrift store bargain bin.
The real-world Filthy Thirteen (who the Dirty Dozen were sort of based on) were even more interesting.
This guy never saw the Dirty Dozen? Damn!
Re-watched "The Dirty Dozen" tonight, in D. Sutherland's memory. R.I.P.
ELEVEN!

Telly Savalas had 129 credits to his career… He’s in The Young Savages, Cape Fear, Birdman Of Alcatraz.. too many to list
John Wayne was offered the Lee Marvin roll but turned it down.
Great vid. I love hey they mentioned Telly Salvalas played Blofeld in a Bond movie anf both guys glazed over the comment, zero reaction.
Penn's dad only directed 6 episodes, but he did direct episodes in like every tv series of the 1960's & 70 & 80's and a bunch of Matlock
That Victor Franko character is basically who would play The Punisher if they made a Marvel Frank Castle story in the 60s . 😊
Savalas was a stage actor. He got famous doing The King and I.
Cassevetes steals it, Franco was the best
Ving Rhames as Kojak is a character race swap that actually works. Ving and Telly have that same MOJO.
Harry Dean Stanton carrying that M60 is so weird to see. He always looked like he couldn't carry an envelope. 😅
Seems weird that they never did a 21st century version of Dirty Dozen. Thats the go to thing to make way more than a lot of those reboots and remakes out there. Btw Telly did a lo of westerns too. But he was Kojak. Who loves ya baby ?
yup

This is so great, spank you! I mean thank you
Commute
I forgot about the Kojak reboot, never watched it... it looks awful lol

the guy Bill is talking too is so lame
Not your finest work.
