Big Joe learns from Dumpkopff the nearest town of Nancy (in French Lorraine) has a three-star hotel, but Kelly spies something of more interest. A supposed lead bar in the Colonel's attache case reveals a gold layer underneath. After plying Dunkhepf with brandy, Kelly learns there are 14,000 more bars (about $16 million U.S. dollars) in a bank in Clermont, 30 miles behind enemy lines.

28. Which famous Las Vegas comedian played the corrupt Quartermaster, Sergeant 'Crapgame'?

From Quiz 'Kelly's Heroes' in the Making

Answer: Don Rickles

'Crapgame's co-operation became vital to the success of the mission, since he had access to the necessary supplies and could pull various strings to ensure that things went more smoothly. He came across as more of a profiteer who was out to make a fast buck than a highly professional NCO. The contrast and tensions between 'Big Joe' and 'Crapgame' added to the humour in the film. Don Rickles' presence in the film gave a strong signal of its light-hearted comedic intent, rather than that of an all-action war film.

29. "Well, we're gonna get some booze!"

From Quiz More '"Kelly's Heroes" Quotes

Answer: Big Joe

Said while making plans to turn a barn into a nightclub.
