Approximately twenty minutes were cut from the movie by MGM and studio boss James T. Aubrey before theatrical release. MGM even changed the title of the movie. Originally, it was called "The Warriors", then, in post-production, it was changed to "Kelly's Warriors": and then to "Kelly's Heroes". Clint Eastwood mentioned in interviews that he was very disappointed about the way this movie was re-cut by MGM because many deleted scenes not only gave depth to the characters, but also made the movie much better. Some of the deleted scenes were shown on promotional stills and described in interviews with cast and crew for Cinema Retro's special edition article about this movie:Oddball (Donald Sutherland) and his crew pack up to go over the lines to meet up with Kelly (Clint Eastwood) and others while local village girls are running around half naked.The platoon encounters a group of German soldiers and naked girls swimming in a pool.While they wait for Oddball in the barn at night, Kelly and Big Joe (Telly Savalas) have a conversation about their disillusionment with the war and why Kelly was made a scapegoat for the attack that resulted in his demotion. Another scene was deleted from this part where the platoon decides they don't want to continue with the mission and Gutkowski (Richard Davalos) threatens Kelly at gunpoint, but Big Joe and Crapgame (Don Rickles) side with Kelly, and everything turns out okay.General Colt (Carroll O'Connor) is in bed with some women when he gets a call that Kelly and others have broken through the enemy lines.During the attack on the town, Production Designer Jon Barry had a cameo as a British airman hiding from the Germans.One promotional still shows Kelly finding a wounded German soldier amongst the ruined houses during the final town attack.Kelly, Oddball, and Big Joe discuss tactics while standing on an abandoned Tiger tank before the scene where they talk with the German tank commander.When Kelly and the platoon drive off at the end, a bunch of soldiers shout at them that they are headed in the wrong direction.
