I always loved how hard Landa laughed at the "mountain climbing" story. On re watching it is clear he laughs so hard simply because it is such a horrible excuse and obvious lie.
Yes, he already knew how she was actually injured, so the story they came up with to explain it made him laugh extremely hard given how ridiculous it sounded.
Hans Landa was really a terrifying villain. He's so polite and cultured, intelligent, etc. but in fact he's a terrible monster hunting people down. he's just so good at it that he seems like he will never lose. Incredible performance by christoph waltz
Yeah I agree ☝🏼 he is def In my top 10 villains list, the way he goes about getting his answers he wants …. But in reality he already knows but he just wants to toy with them a little bit and torture them mentally
@@nepntzerZer Do you know what metaphor is? He's not a literal monster like a werewolf or godzilla. He hunts people down and has them executed as though he were exterminating rats, he even compares them to rats. And he takes pleasure in it too
Hans Landa actually made me fearful, anxious, uncomfortable and unsettled. The last time I had that feeling was as a kid, Alan Rickman playing Hans Gruber, genuinely made me frightened of him. You could see the absolute evil radiating from them. As if it was a static presence in the room that you could touch, feel or cut with a knife...
@@0p4l_3y3z_XD no . He lives. But he is Austrian so you don’t hear about him much and maybe never would have if you were American . Thankfully Tarantino stumbled onto him.
In the basement scene, the SS officer says “ I wasn’t talking to you, Lt. Munich…Or you, Lt. Frankfurt.” Indicating he can tell where the other two are from by their accents. So even if Hickox hadn’t given himself away with the hand gesture, they were already screwed.
That,s true.My late dad was German. He spoke German with a Berliner accent.Learned it from grandma because grandpa would never teach daddy and Uncle Tom .Grandpa said we aren't in the old country anymore, we are in America and we speak English.
Christoph Waltz stole every scene he was in. He was phenomenal. I had a very hard time appreciating this because I had just been fired and my boss looked exactly like him. I'm over it now, lol.
He did compromises : He sold the characters like action heroes, but at the end he did not made an action hero movie... And it made the movie very dissapointing.
That opening scene is one of my favorite scenes in film history if not my all time my favorite scene. The acting, writing, intricacies, details, pace, emotion, etc. etc. etc.
I will never forget seeing this movie in theatre opening day and being jaw drop for 15 minutes straight. I had never seen anything like it before and I still won’t see anything like it again. Unforgettable and magical performance.
the closeup of landa's face when he switches from being "unaware" to making it obvious he already knows he's hiding jews is the scariest fucking thing i've ever seen in my life
After seeing Waltz speak fluent English, German, and French, when Von Hammersmark introduces Aldo and his men to him in the theater claiming them Italian. Waltz busts into perfect fluent Italian and I laughed out loud in the theater like Jesus this man will not have the wool pulled over him no matter what you do.
I've seen all of Tarantinos movies an unhealthy amount of times but inglorious bastards and Django are truly masterpieces. I feel like tarantino has one last final masterpiece up his sleeve and I'm so ready for it because I don't really get excited about most new movies but if it's a tarantino film i have to see it.(edit) I forgot about this comment until a notification but feel like Tarantinos last movie should be a cinematic translation of the book "Blood meridian". Many people have said it can't be made into a movie because it's too violent but if anyone could do it justice it's Quentin and it would be a hell of a sending off point for his career.
@@watchusayin4084 Death Proof to me is amazing in its own right though. When compared to his other films you could say that it's lacking, but to me it's an incredible twist on the Slasher subgenre, and drive in movies of the 60s and 70s.. It was genius to substitute the stunt car for a blade as his weapon to kill women.. The metaphor that it's like a sexual climax when he crashes the car and takes all their lives simultaneously was perfect.. And the ending is just so satisfying when they jump Kurt Russell to death lmaoo I can watch it over and over just as I can with Django or Inglourious Basterds
There’s a massive oversight in the video. The film IS a remake of the 1979 film. Tarantino met with Enzo Girolami (the last name should sound familiar as is referenced by Aldo’s false identity in the film) the original director was also invited for a cameo and the scene is amongst the deleted scenes. 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.
He mispronounced a lot of stuff, but you shouldn't let it bother you. You knew what he meant, so his message was communicated effectively, and ultimately that is the main thing that matters in a video such as this.
@@blackbirb814 It doesn't bother me but he was not communicating effectively if he was pronouncing words incorrectly. Attention to detail is important.
"That's when Christoph Waltz descended from heaven to save the movie" This has to be the single best line ever in a TH-cam video. Mostly because it's true 🤣🤣
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.

In the German uniform scene, in addition to Stiglitz's uniform fitting perfectly, the presenter left out another detail. Stiglitz's uniform is from early in the war. You can see that the fabric on his uniform is of a higher quality, the color is less camouflaged, the trim is more elaborate, and even the design of the pocket flap is more expensive to manufacture. Compare that to the late-war uniforms the other Basterds captured - everything is more cheaply made.
@@puddimcdunns3958 OP is actually correct. Besides high ranking officers, field uniforms for someone of stiglitz's rank would have been a general issue sort of thing. During the time he was prisoned plus his time with the bastards, field uniforms would have changed drastically, hence the diferent style of uniform he has compared to the other 2.
@@haleydoe644 Genuine question, not being snarky: who are you referring to when you say we in your sentence? Very curious as I have been told I am probably autistic, but when I briefly looked into it, I matched more up with being very slightly Aspergers.
Having Waltz not rehearse his lines with the other actors is brilliant. I have often wondered if that tactic would be useful with many other classic villains (like Hannibal Lector or Heath Leger’s Joker).
Interesting u say that. The first scene the heath ledger joker filmed with the rest of the cast was the ballroom scene where he burst in to look for batman and the look on maggies face was truly her being uncomfortable
1. It only works on the first take. 2. The only reason to do it would be because you have no confidence in the other actors' ability and skill to perform in the scene.
I still go back and forth on whether Landa knew who Shoshanna was during the strudel scene since he ordered milk for her, kind of a call back to him asking for milk in the opening scene.
I believe he didn’t know it was her, more so suspected, hence ordering the milk and cream to see if he could make her crack, plus Landa never got a clear view of Shoshanna’s face as she was sprinting away from him in the opening scene.
Of course he did. Strudels back then were usually baked with lard, a pork product. Shoshanna being Jewish, this was Landa's attempt at making her break.
@@thewolf5444all he got is a scar that he can hide with a hat or even by styling hir hair to cover it. Compared to what would happen to SS officers after the war, it's a slap on the wrist
@@BridgesProductions2024how could he have known it was her? He'd never even seen her face, just her back as she sprinted away. He may have had a suspicion but he couldn't have known for absolutely certain.
I actually had watched many of Tarantino's film but never this one until the pandemic hit. Needless to say it's now my official favorite film from his with Django probably 2nd. I never get tired of watching this film and actually stayed up late last night watching it again👏🏻 I can't get enough of the acting and cinematography.
Tanatino created a good role for Waltz as a good guy in django which was nice as he did phenomenal in inglorious and at least this time he was playing a ‘ good German ‘!!
@@burtonkephart6239 Wasn't it the thing with Waltz that he was mainly known for his roles on theatre stages in Austria? That might be the reason why he's capbable of holding up a scene and just "go onwards" I have not checked but the opening scene with monseigneur LaPadite was, allegedly, shot in one go - and it is intense, by gods! :)
I think the actors condition for play Hugo was a massive contribution to his character. You could feel the hatred radiating from him. It also is fantastic that he is the spitting image of the main character of the Wolfenstein games, also slaughtering nazis.
If I make not mistaken, the same actor has recently played a Nazi officer in "The ministry of ungentlemanly warefare" on Amazon prime. I wonder what his reasoning behind this is. He did a brilliant role
I’m glad they were able to find an actor to bring Landa to life. I know Quentin thought he was never going to be able to find the right person. Then Christoph came and it was history.
Oh yeah? I know Christoph. we play tennis every Monday. Afterwards we go get tacos and talk about people who know other people. He's never once mentioned you.
I don't hear anybody ever discuss the tremendous skill Tarantino exhibits in selecting music for all his films. He's a master at it. He'll have a scene and go to his extensive library of recordings to pick just the right track for the background. 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. Anybody else would have picked loud-@ssed boilerplate UH-OH music.
@@lyrics647The John Legend tracks, Für Elise, the Jim Croce track, the aria sung as the dinner party is being prepared......yes, it is a wonderful collection.
I noticed that as well. I particularly liked the scene where Shoshanna is putting her makeup on while David Bowie's "Putting Out Fire With Gasoline" plays.
Hanz Landa hs to be the most terrifying person I’ve ever seen in my life. He’s so calm, calculated and cold. He’s intelligent and brutal. Truly scary. Best written character I’ve ever seen.
as a german i never realised that the scenes with the Nazis and german actors are actually spoken in german with english subtitles, i just took it for granted since everything gets dubbed here. What do u guys think of the german actors in smaller roles like August Diehl?
The German and French actors were fantastic in this film. I respect Tarantino for having them speak in their native languages. It gave the movie added authenticity.
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.
@@DamienDarkside you know that germany has twice the population of Canada? it seems like you implied that it would be hard to find a german actor in a movie
OMG! Thank you so much for posting this. "Inglorious Basterds" is bar none my favorite Tarantino film. Sheer brilliance! Enjoyed fun facts! I could write a thesis on how much I love this film!
One of my all time favorite movies. That whole first scene with Hans Landa is so stressful and gives me anxiety. You know some shits about to go down but the buildup is agonizingly long. I’m pretty sure I didn’t breath through that whole scene the first time I saw the movie.
Shoshanna its Shoshanna not Shozanna. I got goosebumps every time he said it.At the end of the interrogation scene at the beginning of the movie, Colonel Hans Landa shouted loudly behind her Or did you not watch the movie, you prepared this video.
@@crazycocopuff5307 it was by far the best picture of the year and wasn't even nominated. Many film critics had stupid takes on it. It was as close to perfect as a film gets. 10/10. Not 9.9. Rating it a 6 or a 7 is an abomination.
@@PeterParker-vq2cz underrated doesn't mean not enough people have rated it. It means the general rating it's been given is far lower than it deserves. A bunch of critics didn't like seeing a dude get brain'd with a bat. And gave it a bs score.
It's truly a shame that Tarantino is done making movies as he has stated many times that he doesn't want them to appear to get worse as he gets older or "lose his edge" so to say. He is hands down the best director to ever make a movie.
@@Baddie011 lol new to this whole internet thing? Haha I get it, as for some reason I didn't know what the hell SMH (shaking my head...or at least the adjective of the phrase) and never asked for years, so I felt stupid for a good long time with that one. Haha but yeah the interwebs loves abbreviations to cut down typing for commonly used phrases. But I regress, still 1 of the tied first place Tarantino movies for me, Pulp Fiction (the first movie of his I ever saw at like 12 years old and tied for first place) is what really started my life of exploring movies as a art form. As Inglorious Basterds is his namesakes crescendo of the career of Quentin's (not to say that the two following films haven't been amazing too) filmography up until now, August 2022. Thoughts? Retorts? Vocal Stone Throwing?
I don't know about No. 11. I think checking Suzanne's pulse would not give him much intel. I think any Frenchman who had the SS come suddenly into their home would have a pulse rate that was off the chart, whether they were doing anything anti-German or not. In any event, Landa knew they were there.
100%...People's pulse rate can jump for many reasons. Meeting someone important the first time, someone you dislike, someone you like, eating, walking across the room and hundreds of other reasons.
Tarantino should actually make a prequel to this movie so we can see what happened between 1941 and 1944. And so that Pitt gets more screen time of course.
I remember when they were talking about a rumor that Aldo Rain was getting his own movie after Inglorious Basterds. Of course, it never happened…but then Fury came out years later where Brad Pitt is almost a carbon copy of Aldo Rain’s character; almost as an homage to the character he played in Inglorious Basterds.
Well done! This movie is in my top 3 movies of all time, accompanied with Django and The Priness Bride. As someone who adores this movie, when I read the title I thought, "pft - I probably know all these facts, but I'll give it a whirl ". I actually knew very few of these facts, most of them were new to me! Good job researching and making this video!
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.
There was a group of German American Jews who fled Germany but came back to Germany as American soldiers. Collectively they were called The Ritchie Boys from their training in Camp Ritchie (sp?). A movie was made about them with that title. They were instrumental in the war effort because of their intimate knowledge of Germany and Germans. I would love to think they had some retribution by killing some Nazis as well.
Freaking Love Waltz...I'm surprised that there aren't Memes for his work in Inglourious Bastards and Django Unchained. "Calm yourselves gentlemen, I mean you no harm. I'm Dr. King Schultz and this is my horse Fritz"
I like to think Landa let the girl go because he wasn't a killer. He was a detective with a really big ego. He was there to find the Jews. He wouldn't even condescend to search for them. He was insisting that the farmer tell him what he already knew. Once he did his job, as defined by his 'indifference to verman' speech, the girl escaping the firing, wasn't his real concern, just finding her was his victory, he didn't need to kill one more rat. He didn't quite understand the why of it. It was his job, but other people's philosophy. He was, to his mind, the definitive detective, e.g., the Holmes pipe. The Gestapo was just a temporary gig.
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 being outsmarted by a woman would have been emasculating and enraging. The scene is essentially a commentary on fragile male ego.
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.
Well, great collection of (almost) all new facts of one of my absolute favorite films. This wasn't just another regurgitation of the same "facts" as other lists. The deleted scene about Donny's bat actually choked me up a little and would have been pretty powerful (like his bat), but leaving out him shooting the dogs was a damn good idea. Maybe this is where they get theirs from. Well done.
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!!
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.
I saw this movie in the cinema back in the day. It still is the best experience I ever had. I never experienced a movie in the cinema where the whole audience were both mouse quiet or screaming with laughter and it wasn't even a comedy. Best movie I saw in the cinema
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.
You forgot to mention Antonio Margheriti the fictional director played by Eli Roth's character in the Basterds. Margheriti is also the name of a director Decaprio's character is directed by In Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
I grew up in and have never left the USA (crossed into Cananda once).....and when I first saw this movie, the finger counting thing hit me differently than most. I, too, never really thought about how I counted with my fingers (even though, I still do it and I'm almost 40)..... I realized that I count with my thumb first and I thought "....did....I always do that?" ....nope. I realized, then, for the first time... I changed how I counted because my right hand has been pretty much devastated by working and life in general. I have osteoarthritis, but it's real bad in my hands. so, when I don't think about it, I start counting with my thumb because it doesn't hurt. when I do think about it, my mind wants to start with my index finger, my hand tries and it is painful. 🤷♂️ .... I never noticed I had switched how I finger counted ....
I too never realized the fingers we count on until that scene. I tried using different fingers and people kept misunderstanding how many. It is truly amazing.
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. 🙂
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.
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
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.
Tarantino found the perfect actor in Waltz to play Landa. His character, being so cultured, educated and polite, could also be a vicious, uncaring and heartless person just like Reinhardt Heidrich - look Heidrich up if you don't know who he was. Waltz pulled it off perfectly.
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?
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.
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.
This is a PHENOMENAL movie. And like you said, a MASTER CLASS from Christoph Waltz. My favorite part has to be when Hans Landa starts to speak Italian. Biggest brain explosion ever!!!! Very well written movie. TOP 5 for sure!!!
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
7:55 point 13, the strangling of an actress. My understanding is that this sort of acting "gag" is correctly done by the actor ultimately controlling the strength of the choke by pushing their own head and neck into the hands of the other actor. This in not a fault of the video. I am suggesting that Tarantino did not use this "better" technique.
Hugo Stilitz's name is based on the name of a Mexican Actor of extremely bad -but very widely viewed, and commercially succesful- Mexican movies of the 1970's (Mexican westerns, Jaws remakes, very low budget horror movies, etc.). I believe that the inclusion of Hugo Stiglitz as a character in the movie is a very personal joke and reference by Tarantino... This was the joke that me laugh the most over the whole movie (me, being Mexican, of course...). I atually cried loughing out loud when the name appeared onscreen.
I always loved how hard Landa laughed at the "mountain climbing" story. On re watching it is clear he laughs so hard simply because it is such a horrible excuse and obvious lie.
He's toying with them making them uncomfortable.
Yes, he already knew how she was actually injured, so the story they came up with to explain it made him laugh extremely hard given how ridiculous it sounded.
He can't believe she went for that excuse, even Von Hammershmark didn't want to use it originally
@@KryydsTV lol exactly
@@la-li-lu-le-lo9444 re-watching the movie is probably what they mean. I've seen in many times myself.

Waltz busts into perfect fluent Italian and I laughed out loud in the theater like Jesus this man will not have the wool pulled over him no matter what you do.
I've seen all of Tarantinos movies an unhealthy amount of times but inglorious bastards and Django are truly masterpieces. I feel like tarantino has one last final masterpiece up his sleeve and I'm so ready for it because I don't really get excited about most new movies but if it's a tarantino film i have to see it.(edit) I forgot about this comment until a notification but feel like Tarantinos last movie should be a cinematic translation of the book "Blood meridian".

@@watchusayin4084 Death Proof to me is amazing in its own right though. When compared to his other films you could say that it's lacking, but to me it's an incredible twist on the Slasher subgenre, and drive in movies of the 60s and 70s.. It was genius to substitute the stunt car for a blade as his weapon to kill women.. The metaphor that it's like a sexual climax when he crashes the car and takes all their lives simultaneously was perfect.. And the ending is just so satisfying when they jump Kurt Russell to death lmaoo I can watch it over and over just as I can with Django or Inglourious Basterds
There’s a massive oversight in the video.
The film IS a remake of the 1979 film. Tarantino met with Enzo Girolami (the last name should sound familiar as is referenced by Aldo’s false identity in the film) the original director was also invited for a cameo and the scene is amongst the deleted scenes. 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.
Am I the only one that wants to scream at the screen: "it's pronounced SHO-SHA-NAH!''' ? :)))
Absolutely not!!! I was doing the same thing. That was so annoying!! And he also mispronounces Goebbels.
Thank god! Same!!
Me too
He mispronounced a lot of stuff, but you shouldn't let it bother you. You knew what he meant, so his message was communicated effectively, and ultimately that is the main thing that matters in a video such as this.
@@blackbirb814 It doesn't bother me but he was not communicating effectively if he was pronouncing words incorrectly. Attention to detail is important.
"That's when Christoph Waltz descended from heaven to save the movie"
This has to be the single best line ever in a TH-cam video. Mostly because it's true 🤣🤣
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.
BROFIST...but with added 'bonus'
Nice additional info!
They also could have offered Landa OSS chocolate and explode it into his mouth.

Landa saying "THAT'S A BINGO!" So menacingly and then asking if that was the correct way to say it chills my blood everytime. I love this flick
In the German uniform scene, in addition to Stiglitz's uniform fitting perfectly, the presenter left out another detail. Stiglitz's uniform is from early in the war. You can see that the fabric on his uniform is of a higher quality, the color is less camouflaged, the trim is more elaborate, and even the design of the pocket flap is more expensive to manufacture. Compare that to the late-war uniforms the other Basterds captured - everything is more cheaply made.
Have you considered the fact that he’s higher ranking and that may be the reason for a nicer uniform…
@@puddimcdunns3958 OP is actually correct. Besides high ranking officers, field uniforms for someone of stiglitz's rank would have been a general issue sort of thing. During the time he was prisoned plus his time with the bastards, field uniforms would have changed drastically, hence the diferent style of uniform he has compared to the other 2.

Having Waltz not rehearse his lines with the other actors is brilliant. I have often wondered if that tactic would be useful with many other classic villains (like Hannibal Lector or Heath Leger’s Joker).
Interesting u say that. The first scene the heath ledger joker filmed with the rest of the cast was the ballroom scene where he burst in to look for batman and the look on maggies face was truly her being uncomfortable
1. It only works on the first take.
2. The only reason to do it would be because you have no confidence in the other actors' ability and skill to perform in the scene.
Would’ve been great with Norman Stansfield
Inglorious Basterds is a true masterpiece. Thank you for shedding more light on this incredible film.
Another bit of foreshadowing is Lanza says "Au Revoir Shoshanna " which directly translates to " until we meet again"
This is such an incredible movie, Christoph Waltz stole the show in every scene he was in
I still go back and forth on whether Landa knew who Shoshanna was during the strudel scene since he ordered milk for her, kind of a call back to him asking for milk in the opening scene.
100% he knew her. He was always one step ahead of everyone else.
That's why is so hilarious the ending when he finally gets outdone
I believe he didn’t know it was her, more so suspected, hence ordering the milk and cream to see if he could make her crack, plus Landa never got a clear view of Shoshanna’s face as she was sprinting away from him in the opening scene.
Of course he did. Strudels back then were usually baked with lard, a pork product. Shoshanna being Jewish, this was Landa's attempt at making her break.
@@thewolf5444all he got is a scar that he can hide with a hat or even by styling hir hair to cover it. Compared to what would happen to SS officers after the war, it's a slap on the wrist
@@BridgesProductions2024how could he have known it was her? He'd never even seen her face, just her back as she sprinted away. He may have had a suspicion but he couldn't have known for absolutely certain.
I actually had watched many of Tarantino's film but never this one until the pandemic hit. Needless to say it's now my official favorite film from his with Django probably 2nd. I never get tired of watching this film and actually stayed up late last night watching it again👏🏻 I can't get enough of the acting and cinematography.
I have watched this movie about 10-20 times since it's release... and still don't get tired :)
Tanatino created a good role for Waltz as a good guy in django which was nice as he did phenomenal in inglorious and at least this time he was playing a ‘ good German ‘!!
@@burtonkephart6239 Wasn't it the thing with Waltz that he was mainly known for his roles on theatre stages in Austria? That might be the reason why he's capbable of holding up a scene and just "go onwards"
I have not checked but the opening scene with monseigneur LaPadite was, allegedly, shot in one go - and it is intense, by gods! :)
So you're not bothered by the crappy storyline?
Pulp Fiction says hi
I think the actors condition for play Hugo was a massive contribution to his character. You could feel the hatred radiating from him. It also is fantastic that he is the spitting image of the main character of the Wolfenstein games, also slaughtering nazis.
If I make not mistaken, the same actor has recently played a Nazi officer in "The ministry of ungentlemanly warefare" on Amazon prime. I wonder what his reasoning behind this is. He did a brilliant role
I’m glad they were able to find an actor to bring Landa to life. I know Quentin thought he was never going to be able to find the right person. Then Christoph came and it was history.

Love this underated classic! Hans Landa is so scary without even saying anything... Great performance!!!!
I don't hear anybody ever discuss the tremendous skill Tarantino exhibits in selecting music for all his films. He's a master at it. He'll have a scene and go to his extensive library of recordings to pick just the right track for the background. 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. Anybody else would have picked loud-@ssed boilerplate UH-OH music.
Cat People...David Bowie.....when she was putting on her make-up......PERFECT!!!!!
The Django Soundtrack is the greatest Soundtrack of all time. There's no telling how many times i listened to that thing on repeat, no skips

as a german i never realised that the scenes with the Nazis and german actors are actually spoken in german with english subtitles, i just took it for granted since everything gets dubbed here.
What do u guys think of the german actors in smaller roles like August Diehl?
The German and French actors were fantastic in this film. I respect Tarantino for having them speak in their native languages. It gave the movie added authenticity.
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.
Diehl was fantastic, and so was practically everyone in this movie 🎥

Tarantino should actually make a prequel to this movie so we can see what happened between 1941 and 1944. And so that Pitt gets more screen time of course.
I remember when they were talking about a rumor that Aldo Rain was getting his own movie after Inglorious Basterds.

I actually knew very few of these facts, most of them were new to me! Good job researching and making this video!
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.
There was a group of German American Jews who fled Germany but came back to Germany as American soldiers. Collectively they were called The Ritchie Boys from their training in Camp Ritchie (sp?). A movie was made about them with that title. They were instrumental in the war effort because of their intimate knowledge of Germany and Germans. I would love to think they had some retribution by killing some Nazis as well.
Freaking Love Waltz...I'm surprised that there aren't Memes for his work in Inglourious Bastards and Django Unchained.
"Calm yourselves gentlemen, I mean you no harm. I'm Dr. King Schultz and this is my horse Fritz"
I like to think Landa let the girl go because he wasn't a killer. He was a detective with a really big ego.
He was there to find the Jews. He wouldn't even condescend to search for them. He was insisting that the farmer tell him what he already knew.
Once he did his job, as defined by his 'indifference to verman' speech, the girl escaping the firing, wasn't his real concern, just finding her was his victory, he didn't need to kill one more rat. He didn't quite understand the why of it. It was his job, but other people's philosophy.
He was, to his mind, the definitive detective, e.g., the Holmes pipe. The Gestapo was just a temporary gig.
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 being outsmarted by a woman would have been emasculating and enraging. The scene is essentially a commentary on fragile male ego.
It's a commentary on Landa who is a psychotic villain. It has nothing to do with the male "ego."

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.
Well, great collection of (almost) all new facts of one of my absolute favorite films. This wasn't just another regurgitation of the same "facts" as other lists. The deleted scene about Donny's bat actually choked me up a little and would have been pretty powerful (like his bat), but leaving out him shooting the dogs was a damn good idea. Maybe this is where they get theirs from. Well done.
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!!
This is the best IG video I’ve seen in years. Good work 👍🏻
Til Schweiger is a badass, really wanted his character to survive.
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.
I’ve rewatched this movie a hundred times and still can’t get over all the attention to detail!
I saw this movie in the cinema back in the day. It still is the best experience I ever had. I never experienced a movie in the cinema where the whole audience were both mouse quiet or screaming with laughter and it wasn't even a comedy.

GREAT STUFF! I ENJOYED IT IMMENSELY!
I grew up in and have never left the USA (crossed into Cananda once).....and when I first saw this movie, the finger counting thing hit me differently than most. I, too, never really thought about how I counted with my fingers (even though, I still do it and I'm almost 40)..... I realized that I count with my thumb first and I thought "....did....I always do that?"
....nope. I realized, then, for the first time... I changed how I counted because my right hand has been pretty much devastated by working and life in general. I have osteoarthritis, but it's real bad in my hands. so, when I don't think about it, I start counting with my thumb because it doesn't hurt. when I do think about it, my mind wants to start with my index finger, my hand tries and it is painful. 🤷♂️
.... I never noticed I had switched how I finger counted ....
I too never realized the fingers we count on until that scene. I tried using different fingers and people kept misunderstanding how many. It is truly amazing.
Sick. Great work ❤
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!
I often watch these kinds of lists and find I already knew most of it, but this time I was pleasantly surprised. Nice!
Hearing you mispronounce Shoshanna over and over again hurt my soul.
This video was incredibly entertaining and well executed! Thank you so much
I'm watching you
as a European I am just amazed how you can start counting with index finger instead of thumb...thumb is the first finger xD
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. 🙂
It really is a master piece.. I never get tired of watching it. Always something new to notice.
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.
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
Hands down..Quentin is one of the BEST OF ALL TIME! I would love to hang out with him and his brilliance!
This was excellent. Thanks.
Tarantino is a master at world building
That was amazing thku, really enjoyed the video
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.
Tarantino found the perfect actor in Waltz to play Landa. His character, being so cultured, educated and polite, could also be a vicious, uncaring and heartless person just like Reinhardt Heidrich - look Heidrich up if you don't know who he was. Waltz pulled it off perfectly.
Christoph Waltz's Hans Landa is the equivalent of Heath Ledger's Joker.
Ffs! That’s total cringe.
#3 Was a good catch. Blew my mind 👀 🤯!!!
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?
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.
This was Great!
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.
This is a PHENOMENAL movie. And like you said, a MASTER CLASS from Christoph Waltz.
My favorite part has to be when Hans Landa starts to speak Italian. Biggest brain explosion ever!!!!
Very well written movie. TOP 5 for sure!!!
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
7:55 point 13, the strangling of an actress. My understanding is that this sort of acting "gag" is correctly done by the actor ultimately controlling the strength of the choke by pushing their own head and neck into the hands of the other actor. This in not a fault of the video. I am suggesting that Tarantino did not use this "better" technique.
Arguably one of Tarantino’s best work

Hugo Stilitz's name is based on the name of a Mexican Actor of extremely bad -but very widely viewed, and commercially succesful- Mexican movies of the 1970's (Mexican westerns, Jaws remakes, very low budget horror movies, etc.). I believe that the inclusion of Hugo Stiglitz as a character in the movie is a very personal joke and reference by Tarantino... This was the joke that me laugh the most over the whole movie (me, being Mexican, of course...). I atually cried loughing out loud when the name appeared onscreen.
