	Amazon.co.uk: Kelly's Heroes [1970]: DVD
		Kelly's Heroes reunited Clint Eastwood with his Where Eagles Dare director Brian G Hutton, then added The Dirty Dozen star Telly Savalas in MGM's quest to turn WWII movie celluloid into box office gold three times running.
		On the DVD: Kelly's Heroes is presented on disc in a 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer which is immaculate and taken from a virtually perfect master.
		The heroes are not Kelly's, they actually belong to Big Joe (Telly Savalas)- well actually to Maitland, their absentee Capt. - and they are not heroes.

	Varied Celluloid > Reviews > Just Heroes
		The Review: Just Heroes is probably the most obscure and forgotten of John Woo's Hong Kong work (excluding Heroes Shed No Tears because of the lack of cops and robbers), you can probably subscribe to one of two theories on why this seems to be.
		The first thing that races to my mind when I say violence as entertainment is one shot in Just Heroes where a nameless thug is shot in the back during one of the large gun battles, his blood flies everywhere, including splashing the camera with blotches of red.
		Yet all action and no brains can only be fun if a film is campy, thankfully Just Heroes takes a very solid approach to getting a story across.

	Varied Celluloid > Reviews > Heroes Shed No Tears
		There is NO 'The Killer'-type bullet ballets or style, there is some double gunning but its nothing like anything we saw out of a better tomorrow.
		I still found this enjoyable and it’s a violent good time for fans of mindlessness and films that require no thought, everything was bad but I still found something to like about it.
		Furthermore this is for veteran Woo fans who want to explore the Heroic Bloodshed roots and look where John Woo got his Techniques and style from.

	Varied Celluloid > Reviews > Gonin
		Ishii takes the existential dread of Kitano's films (and I'm thinking specifically of Sonatine) but gives a force and a name to what may bring about the demise of our 'heroes'.
		Ishii isn't restrained in the film, but there are things one would hope could be dealt with on a level deeper than symbolism.
		Takashi Ishii who I have bragged about quite a bit thus far really makes a name for himself with this film.

	Amazon.co.uk: DVD: Kelly's Heroes [1970]
		Kelly's Heroes reunited Clint Eastwood with his Where Eagles Dare director Brian G Hutton, then added The Dirty Dozen star Telly Savalas in MGM's quest to turn WWII movie celluloid into box office gold three times running.
		The result, a sprawling adventure about a group of soldiers led by Kelly (Eastwood) on a private mission behind enemy lines to recover a cache of Nazi treasure, echoed its predecessors but wasn't as successful.

	The Kinks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1972 the group released Everybody's in Showbiz, a double record set consisting of one album of studio tracks (most prominently the excellent ballad "Celluloid Heroes", and the catchy "Supersonic Rocket Ship", their last UK Top 20 hit for over a decade) and another of live material.
		It signalled the beginning of Davies' overt fascination with theatrical concept albums and elaborate stage shows (facilitated in part by the staginess of the contemporary Glam Rock trend) that would dominate their career into 1975-1976.
		The album was a commercial and critical disappointment in the U.K., although it sold better in the U.S. This pattern would continue to play out over the subsequent decade, with the Kinks' popularity and sales steadily increasing in the US, and remaining stagnant in the UK.

	Asia Times Online - News from greater China; Hong Kong and Taiwan
		The inclusion of Taoism (described in the white paper as "native to China, [with] a history of more than 1,700 years") is of interest to Hong Kong movie fans who've embraced Taoist priests as celluloid heroes.
		Societies rallying under the banner of arcane beliefs have played havoc with the power structure since at least AD 25, when a Shandong province sect called the Red Eyebrows (they painted their eyebrows crimson to mimic demons) helped assassinate political figure Wang Mang and establish the Eastern Han Dynasty.
		Since then, Chinese secret societies have included the diehard White Lotus Society, whose 14th-century uprising helped displace invading Mongols and install Hung Wu, the first Ming Dynasty emperor.

	Mystical Journey by Derek Lamar: Hollywood Boulevard of the Stars
		And those who are successful, be always on your guard, success walks hand in hand with failure along Hollywood Boulevard." ~ Raymond Douglas Davies, The Kinks (Celluloid Heroes)
		It was a chilly November day in 1969 and soon we were on Hollywood Boulevard knowing very little about what to do next.
		We walked with arms around each other in mock defiance as we passed Joni Mitchell's house and exchanged hellos with her and Graham Nash.

		In Conan Doyle's novel, the character Zambo is a Brazilian Negro and one of the heroes of the story; he does not desert the party on the plateau but remains their link with the world.
		D.I.G. It's clear that some of the running time of the original film was intertitles and that some may be missing and some may be of a different length than the original release, but that aside, what footage is either still missing or left out of the reconstruction deliberately...
		DS: We chose to soften a racial stereotype which is no longer acceptable.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - title (year), director, star, star, dvd review
		The rich folks look down their noses at the scoundrels, but the scoundrels are the ones with the heart and the courage to be the heroes at the end of the day.
		The thing about watching Stagecoach in 1998 is that it does come across as a textbook, an essential piece of film history to be studied, but not savored.
		Before Stagecoach, westerns were pretty much by-the-numbers good guy vs. bad guy flicks.

	Enter the dragon - THE DAILY BRUIN ONLINE
		The world of the wu xia film is not necessarily filled with kung fu boxers, but is instead comprised of swordsmen and swordswomen — heroes and villains who wield mystic weapons and who dance deadly, sword-swinging ballets through the landscapes of mythical China.
		These literature-rooted elements of the wu xia were ready to be spread across the celluloid.
		Lim said that it was during the late '60s and early '70s that the wu xia films fell out of popularity in favor of the newer, more visceral, more masculine kung fu films in which bare-chested men careened, their muscles unabashedly flexed, onto the Chinese screen.

	Nimrod - See How It Runs
		David Williamson’s Celluloid Heroes opened the Nimrod’s second decade and in its self-absorption and inability to sustain a narrative drive Meyrick suggests a reflection and prognostication of the Nimrod’s troubles.
		The Nimrod and the APG were founded by a generation of clever young guns in conscious opposition to the mainstream and Meyrick begins his history by examining the division between the generations and in their theatrical and wider cultural loyalties.
		Nimrod grew from Sydney University connections, principally between Ken Horler and John Bell and the availability of a cheap space, an old stable in Nimrod Street, Kings Cross, its first home.

	Western Movie Horses
		However, the western movie heroes often did have favorite horses that they rode in film after film.
		Below are the celluloid westerners with their favorite mounts.
		The actual old-time cowhands considered horses tools of the trade and thus rode what their employers supplied them.

		The show they put on that night, highlighted by a swooning version of "Celluloid Heroes" and the introduction of the not-yet-released single "Come Dancing," was probably still the best concert I've ever been to, and in subsequent years I've seen many (including The Trashmen and Buddy Guy just yesterday, fooking deadly).
		New music was impossible to come by, but one commodity that was available was Creem Magazine, which I regularly pilfered from the local five and dime (more punk than I knew was I).
		Eventually, I found a copy of the Kinks' original 1967 "Greatest Hits" package (what the hell is "Wait til the Summer Comes Along" doing there?), and as a measure of my great devotion to my best friend at the time, I gave him the LP for his birthday.

		The eight songs include "Come Dancing," "Predictable," "Lola" (live), "State of Confusion," "Don't Forget to Dance," "You've Really Got Me" (live), "Do It Again," and "Celluloid Heroes" (live).
		"Come Dancing" is a compilation of '80s music videos giving ample evidence that Davies is one of the world's great entertainers.
		However, the videos that are part of the Come dancing portion are outstanding.

		It was only my third concert, after Cheap Trick and Neil Young, and I was nearly dying from anticipation.
		Emotionally, musically, every which way, the Kinks ruled my life that night, and they glowed within for weeks afterward.

	filmcritic.com: Heroes of filmcritic.com: Billy Wilder
		One of Hollywood& greatest film directors, Billy Wilder’s playful and insightful uses of the English language and his resounding images captured on celluloid decades ago will never be forgotten.
		Wilder’s dramatic films in the 1950s took on a darker tone and were offset by a series of wildly entertaining comedy vehicles.
		In his impressive library of cinematic creations, Billy Wilder (1906-2002) was the complete filmmaker -- producer, screenwriter, and director-- able to work in various genres -- musicals, romantic comedy, courtroom drama, film noir, and mysteries.

	Hollywood Walk of Fame
		The lyrics of " Celluloid Heroes "*, an old song by The Kinks, tell us:
		And anchoring west end of the Walk of Fame, at the corner of Hollywood and La Brea, is a gleaming silver gazebo, topped by a spire which reads "Hollywood," and featuring sleek, life-size statues of four silver screen goddesses in evening gowns.
		The Walk of Fame used to stop at Sycamore, but in 1994 it was expanded a block west to La Brea Avenue.

	ICv2 News - Daredevil Movie Filming Set
		True to its comic source material the Daredevil film promises to be darker, edgier, and more realistic than the special effects-laden works of the current crop of celluloid spandex heroes.
		Lined up behind Daredevil are a host of other Marvel movie projects in various stages of development including, among others, Ghost Rider (see "Nicholas Cage to be Ghost Rider"), The Incredible Hulk (see "Crouching Behemoth, Hidden Hero"), Cloak and Dagger (see "Dimension to Develop Cloak and Dagger"), and Submariner (see "Movie and TV Notes").
		Early word on the screenplay for the Daredevil film has it that Bullseye, Kingpin, and Elektra are all involved.

	IMDb user comments for Operation Daybreak (1975)
		Yes, Sergeants Jan Kubis and Jozef Gabcik were real men, genuine patriots, authentic heroes who killed that utter bastard Nazi thug Reinhard Heydrich.
		'Operation Daybreak' is but a small celluloid monument to the heroism of Jan Kubis and Jozef Gabcik and their loyal cohorts in the Czechoslovak resistance, and it's likely to remain the only cinematic tribute to their fortitude and devotion.
		Moreover, the daring and selflessness of Gabcik's and Kubis's attack on Heydrich inspired and steeled resistance to the Nazis not only in Czechoslovakia, but in other countries benighted by the cruel stain of Nazi occupation.

	eyestorm - eyestorm NY 'Arrivals' exhibition
		Not just in the way she transfers our celluloid heroes from one medium to another, redefining our icons and challenging our perceptions of them, but also in her subject matter - her pin-point capturing of the here and the now to subvert the very nature of the 21st century's celebrity culture.
		Abigail Lane co-curated the pivotal Freeze exhibition in 1988, with fellow graduates Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas and Gary Hume, which is credited as the start of the YBA movement in the 1990s.
		Her first solo exhibition was held at Karston Schubert, London in 1997 and she has also exhibited extensively worldwide.

	Big Bear Records
		The enigmatic Garbo’s Celluloid Heroes gained critical acclaim at this time, but it inexplicably never transferred into record sales, although there is still a steady worldwide demand for their recordings from collectors.
		The label was named Big Bear Records in recognition of D.J. John Peel’s nickname for the label’s founder, and the date was November 15th 1968.
		During the 1970s Big Bear Records steadily built a worldwide reputation with its now-legendary recordings of important American bluesmen Doctor Ross, Homesick James, Lightnin’ Slim, Big John Wrencher, Snooky Prior, Tommy Tucker, Eddie Playboy Taylor, Eddie Guitar Burns Cousin Joe, Willie Mabon, Mickey Baker, Boogie Woogie Red and more.
