Inglourious Basterds/Trivia


 * Brad Pitt also played a character that collected German scalps in the 1994 film Legends of the Fall.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: So many to pick from!
 * Hey, it's Ryan the temp killing Nazis...
 * Alongside Neal Schweiber!
 * The scene with the English general. Wait, why is Austin Powers talking?
 * Rod Taylor is Winston Churchill.
 * Rusty Ryan has a crap surprisingly accurate Appalachian accent.
 * Hey, it's the chick from National Treasure!
 * The Bear Jew...is the king of horror Gorn himself!
 * When did Alexander Kerner switch from communism to Nazism?
 * Wait a second- Inspector? Where have you left Rex?!
 * Reverend Harmony leads the American soldiers in Stolz der Nation.
 * Not something a non-German would care about, but the rather small soldier in the tavern? Volker Michalowski, kind of famous German comedian with a (stealth) cameo.
 * Hey it's suicidal Paul and Gunther from 'Love In Thoughts'. As Nazis. But is Gunther still gay?
 * Rock Fertig-Aus went back in time in order to kill some Nazis.
 * Good to see that Azazeal is still as suave as ever.
 * It would appear that a certain renegade-Nazi-explosive-expert was relegated to the profession of bartending... or maybe he's Prof. Dr. Ernst-Günter Schenck in a different timeline...
 * It should come as no surprise that Magneto likes drinking scotch and killing Nazis.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: The Narrator is Samuel L Jackson and the Basterds' Commanding Officer is Harvey Keitel. Both are Tarantino regulars. In the Japanese dub we have Spike Spiegel as Aldo, Rangiku Matsumoto from Bleach as Shosanna and Hidan from Naruto as Hicox.
 * Harvey Keitel is is the U.S. official on the radio cutting a deal with Landa and giving Aldo the details of Landa's surrender.
 * What Could Have Been:
 * Adam Sandler, Simon Pegg and Leonardo Di Caprio were considered for the respective parts of Donny Donowitz, Archie Hicox and Hans Landa. The role of Hicox was originally written with Tarantino favorite Tim Roth in mind.
 * Also, at one point Ennio Morricone was onboard to compose the score but backed out due to his belief that he would be unable to work efficiently in the amount of time given.
 * In the screenplay of Inglourious Basterds, the first part of the film set in Paris was intended to have been filmed in black and white, using entirely natural lighting, in reference to the French New Wave. This was probably cut by Executive Meddling, on the grounds that most of the audience wouldn't get the reference, and came here to see an action movie, get back to the killin' already!
