30 Facts You Didn't Know About Inglourious Basterds

Inglourious Basterds is Tarantino's 6th film and probably the only movie he'll ever make that's going to be classified in the war genre. So it's only fitting that the story centered on World War 2 and in classic Tarantino style, a rewriting of history to a much more suitable end!

The uniforms were well-researched, like Landa's SD uniforms, Hickoc's Commando uniform, complete with RAF eagle/RN anchor/Tommy Gun motifs (symbolizing the concept of Combined Operations), correctly embroidered onto his shoulder patch, and Aldo's woolen Canadian-pattern jacket, with its red arrowhead USA CANADA patch of the 1st Special Services Force, a sort of mountaineering special operations unit comprised of both Canadian and American troops, depicted in "The Devil's Brigade." Since they did fight in Italy, and were elite, this worked-for Aldo's back-story. The funny "pistol gloves" worn by the Basterds pretending to be waiters, upstairs, at the Cinema were very realistic examples of an actual OSS weapon. When you wore one of these gloves, and punched an enemy, the pistol mechanism attached to the back of the glove fired a bullet into the enemy. This was actually "a thing," used by the OSS, during World War Two. It was a single-shot .38, known as the Sedgley Fist Gun, and was also used by the Marines and the US Navy, by whom it was called the Hand Firing Mechanism, Mk 2. Very unusual, but it really did exist, and it "made sense," as an OSS gun prop for the Basterds to wield.

For instance, in Basterds, the guitar/symphonic swell during the scene where Shoshana shoots Frederick Zoller, and he shoots her back, in the projection room. It's so elegant, yet so gory.

There’s a massive oversight in the video. The film IS a remake of the 1979 film.

He shouts fire when the theater catches fire, a reference to his cameo in the original film where he played the commander of an anti tank gun giving the order to fire. The famous 3 finger scene was also written by Enzo’s son, an avid WWII history buff.

As a Canadian, I pop off whenever I see Canadians in films. I can only imagine how seeing someone German be in the film might be cool for you. I would genuinely like to see more actors in films cast this way, or even basic voice acting for shows and video games. I get that a lot of movies need a "star actor" for advertising purposes and the like, but come on. I find it incredibly hard to believe that gaming companies can't find naturally speaking actors for video games and just have Americans put on stereotypical accents. I think the "Bonjourno" scene really is a partial criticism to that aspect of Hollywood. I would adore for more films to have natural speaking actors as their characters. It isn't like Europe is lacking in actors, or any other country for that matter. I think it is a genuine mark of quality on a film when you can speak both languages, and you don't need subtitles for either because they are just speaking two languages like two people do.

It's always great to hear the behind-the-scenes doubts about casting and final scene selection especially when they end up turning out to be what made the film great. Hard to imagine if this movie could have been as great without Kruger, Roth, and Waltz. It's also admirable to hear value judgements made behind the scene cuts. Tarantino gives his audience a kick having his characters perform dramatic and raging outbursts into violence, yet a scene shooting a dog would definitely have upset the audience so he cut it out. Good decision.

That was amazing thku, really enjoyed the video

[@sinoverlord409]

Hugo Stiglitz 😂. I love the way the German officer said yes I know Hugo Stiglitz. No way I can picture the Waterboy beating someone's head in with a bat.

[@KoriMasho]

Hearing you mispronounce Shoshanna over and over again hurt my soul.

[@lionheart6081]

I think we should all definitely recognize just how talented this man is! Not Quentin, but the guy who made this video!! Great editing, great information, and great voice for this type of work! Love these videos!!

[@KarleighMiller-wy2su]

This was awesome. Wish you had gotten the restaurant scene swueezed in but still, very well done sir 👏👏

[@steveharmon735]

Great video. I just subscribed. Cheers!

[@jacquilucquin8206]

It is so difficult to name my favourite Tarantino movie... but this is definitely a contender. Masterfully done. I love the back stories... thank you!

[@ninjanoodle0944]

Til Schweiger is a badass, really wanted his character to survive.

[@johnstanley7442]

The following MUST have been intentional, so see if you noticed it: When the Basterds break-into the Nazi prison to free and recruit Hugo, despite all of the VERY loud gunfire within the hard-walled confines of the cell block, which would've been deafening, Hugo is so-hardened that he doesn't flinch a bit, nor even react, which is hilarious, for some reason. While Archie admonishes him, later, as Hugo sharpens his SS dagger, about losing his temper, and screwing things-up, Hugo looks-up, and says, "I don't look 'calm,' to you?" The warning menace of his "calm" is the greatest.

[@everaldodejesus4018]

GREAT STUFF! I ENJOYED IT IMMENSELY!

[@kylerjones4411]

This was excellent. Thanks.

[@Ringlord3434]

It's theorized that Maj. Hellstrom saw through the Basterds' ruse right away, long before Lt. Hicox's flub. Few pieces of dialogue can support this. When he was being briefed on Operation Kino, Hicox mentions he hasn't seen any new movies from Germany due to embargos. How would he know so much about the Piz Palu movie, was he mostly bluffing? Another detail, Hellstrom says he knows every German in France worth knowing, so is it possible that he could have recognized Stiglitz, an infamous murderer? And, his "ear for accents" was unable to determine Hicox's because it wasn't from a German-speaking region.

[@bokononistjim]

i agree about stiglitz; he was someone hellstrom would have recognized. as for pitz palu, i think that was an older film, sort of a "classic" of the time from how it was being referenced. as the film was from the late 20s, i doubt the embargo affected it

[@heathercookston4903]

Hands down..Quentin is one of the BEST OF ALL TIME! I would love to hang out with him and his brilliance!

[@Hewhoislikegod0]

Waltz is one of the greatest actors to ever do it.

[@johndufford5561]

Nice job! Learned many things about a great movie.

[@Cloverjay555]

You sir have a new subscriber! Excellent job!

[@easttennstudent]

Here's another one to add to the list... Brad Pitt's character in the movie, Aldo Raine, claims to be from Maynardville Tennessee. Maynardville is the county seat of Union County Tennessee. Union County is the county just north of Knox County Tennessee, which is Quentin Tarantino's birthplace.

[@bobrooney3336]

little side note : one of the announcers in the cinema, telling people to take their seats because the film was about to start, is Bela B, the drummer of the famous German punk band "Die Ärzte"... he is only seen in one scene and has only one line.

[@MaxwellBenson80]

Nicely done!

[@jimmerhardy]

Filled with deep insider stuff that make the film even more arresting. Thanks.

[@cleverusername9369]

Christoph Waltz: I'm kinda hungry Quentin Tarantino: well I cooked you up this delicious script so you can completely devour every scene you're in, you absolute fucking legend. Waltz is so goddamn good, I am eternally grateful to Tarantino for opening my eyes to the utter genius that is that small handsome Austrian force of nature.

[@markich9510]

as a European I am just amazed how you can start counting with index finger instead of thumb...thumb is the first finger xD

[@aceraspire7456]

On the other hand (hahaha!); in all my many years, I am positive that I have never once, ever started counting with the thumb. Just feels completely unnatural now that I try it. 🙂

[@mebsie3198]

Liked the video a lot couldnt stop watching 👍👍

[@Timosoininveli]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@tc6818]

Christoph Waltz's Hans Landa is the equivalent of Heath Ledger's Joker.

[@indigohammer5732]

Ffs! That’s total cringe.

[@natfoote4967]

Christoph Waltz does a hand sign during the milk scene that is a perfect rendition of a very old Gallic gesture that pantomimes running your pinched fingers along a hand-spun thread to check for fineness and a lack of bumps. It means "finest kind" or "top grade". He is showing off by behaving more French than an actual Frenchman. The reason his character, Hans Landa, kills von Hammersmark in such a brutal fashion is she did something he didn't predict. His whole self-image and self-worth is wrapped up in being able to read and predict other people. She insulted his superior intellect. This sort of character might tolerate that from another man, for a time, but a being outsmarted by a woman would have been emasculating and enraging. The scene is essentially a commentary on fragile male ego.

[@Daveshotpocket]

It's a commentary on Landa who is a psychotic villain. It has nothing to do with the male "ego."

[@crankybuzzard6867]

Great video... Loved the movie.... and this fills in some great info.

[@PedroJNolastcallssII]

I really enjoyed this video. Pls make more content

[@rifles_up2263]

Tarantino is a master at world building

[@titustaddhaustaddltentakel9987]

I love the fact that Till Schweiger is killing Nazis everytime he wears that uniform. I'm german myself and I actually quite eenjoy his acting through most of his movies. I actually think in todays time he is one of the best german actors that is still in business. Not the best, but up top with them. But again, then you have the fact, that there are just noit that many really great actors in germany. Sadly.

[@henryw5762]

Great info. You got another subscriber!

[@tsarytsin]

Excellent. Now I gotta go watch it again

[@ThePenguin82]

I would love to see Daniel Day Lewis’ interpretation of Hans Landa.

[@patrickmorgan4006]

I have a hard time seeing him doing it differently, to any great extent. Waltz was perfect and I'm sure Day Lewis would have been great also.

[@jin6000]

Wouldn't have been as good

[@ThePenguin82]

Hey- dude- her name is SHOSHANA. NOT SHOZANA

[@hoofarted]

cool story bro

[@funfromabove9728]

Great list, awesome video, it made me want to watch the movie right now.

[@dezzmaan5079]

#3 Was a good catch. Blew my mind 👀 🤯!!!

[@seymaster7434]

After rewatching the movie several times I always aksed myself did Hans Landa knew who Shosanna really was when they met in the Cafe where Zoller introduced her to Goebbels. The reason for this assumption is the way he orders a glas of milk for her like he ordered one in the opening scene of the movie on her familie's farm. And if this should be true, why wouldn't he arrest/kill her in this moment? Did he already see the potential in this situation that she would probably try to do what she then really did in the end at the movie night and this is the moment, when he first thought about his exit plan from the war? What do you think?

[@P.J.MartyCone]

Maybe Hans did know it was her even at the restaurant. Maybe that's why he was adamant about the "creme"...which would probably be produced from the local dairy farmers in which Shoshana originated.

[@hannibal8637]

One of my favorite parts of the movie was when the group planned to act Italian, and how they didn't elaborate when two of them mentioned the could speak a little bit of it. I was not expecting Brad Pitt to keep his accent while speaking "Italian", hilarious

[@briandain8432]

Dang I gotta rewatch the movie now... And probably Pulp Fiction after cuz I watched Your video on it before this one. Great Job. Definitely Subscribing!!

[@tayzer22]

Good stuff. Thank you!

[@DeckerDown]

Also another tie to another character from a different movie : Cliff Booth is one of the two main protagonists in Quentin Tarantino's ninth film, Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. He is a Hollywood stuntman whose career suffered because of rumors that he killed his wife. Cliff is also Rick Dalton's stunt double, personal assistant and best friend. His father is Aldo Raine, who served a role as one of the protagonists in Tarantino's previous film Inglourious Basterds.

[@lb2kxx]

Cliff did kill his wife and it has never been confirmed that Aldo is his father as Cliff is a war hero himself

[@DonzeJ]

Mélanie Laurent has a unique sort of beauty that is irresistible.

[@recoilrob324]

I don't know if someone already mentioned it, but Pitt's neck scar reminded me of Clint Eastwood as 'Man with no name' in his Italian westerns that Tarantino loved to include bits as an homage to Sergio Leone.

[@Elc0chin0]

I have to say, this is one of my favorite movies I can watch over and over again.
