Line 4: == The Basterds == {{quote\| ''"We will be cruel to the Germans, and through our cruelty they will know who we are."''}} A group of soldiers who have set out to scalp Germans as a sort of revenge. Started as eight Jewish-Americans, but were later joined by the German Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz after he murders 13 Gestapo officers and the Basterds break him out of jail. Line 15: * [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]: All the members can classify. * [[Knight Templar]] * [[Nineties Anti -Hero]] * [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: Possibly the best example. * [[Psychotic Smirk]]: Donny Donowitz gives this off as he approaches the German Commanding Officer to execute him. * [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] * [[He Who Fights Monsters\|They Who Fight Monsters]]: Let's see, they hate the Nazis, yet they do several eerily similar actions onto the Nazis that the Nazis do onto Jews and other undesirables, even down to locking them in a room under false pretenses (in a manner of speaking). That fits the trope to a "t". * [[What Happened to ~~The~~the Mouse?]]?: {{spoiler\|Four Basterds disappear, never to be shown on screen again. According to leaked versions of the script, whoever didn't show up before the tavern scene had died.}} === Lt. Aldo "The Apache" Raine === Line 38: * [[Large Ham]] * [[Laughably Evil]]: He is QUITE entertaining, probably the main reason why his blatant sociopathy is largely ignored by the fanbase. * [[Nineties Anti -Hero]] * [[Noodle Incident]]: When he {{spoiler\|tweaks the deal Landa made with the Allied Command, Raine notes it's not the first time he went against orders.}} ** How Raine got that scar. {{spoiler\|He looks like a survivor of a failed hanging, although who hanged him and for what reason is never explained.}} Line 52: * [[Anti-Hero]]: Type V * [[Ax Crazy]] * [[A Day in ~~The~~the Limelight]]: The only Basterd to get a full flashback sequence divulging their backstory. * [[The Big Guy]]/[[The Brute]] * [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: Out of the 13 Gestapo officers he killed we saw three. One was suffocated by stuffing a fist into his throath and another repeatedly stabbed in the face through a pillow. The third was ''just'' strangled with a piano wire. Line 58: * [[Knife Nut]]: He has a SS dagger, with the [[Irony\|"Loyalty is my honor"]] inscription. * [[Heel Face Turn]]: Subverted. It's never fully explained ''why'' he decided to kill Gestapo officers, but the Basterds heard about it and offered him his freedom in return for helping them. Naturally, he joined up. ** The film hints that the Gestapo tortured him for some reason, setting him off on his personal [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] before capture (and rescue by the Basterds). * [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]: The greatest example in the movie (on the part of sociopath). * [[Serial Killer]]: Before joining the Basterds. * [[The Stoic]] {{quote\| "Do I not look calm to you?"}} ---- === Sgt. Donny ‘The Bear Jew’ Donowitz === Line 70: * [[Badass]] * [[Batter Up]]: His weapon of choice * [[Berserk Button]]: While the other Basterds are in on it for the same reason, Donny has an extreme hatred for those that kill Jewish people. Especially those that get rewarded for it. Which is why he questioned Ratchman on his Iron Cross. * [[Blood Knight]] * [[Combat Sadomasochist]] Line 75 ⟶ 76: * [[Large Ham]] * [[Shrouded in Myth]]: Nazis believe he's a golem conjured by a Rabbi. * [[Tranquil Fury]]: During his appearance when Aldo calls him out to kill Sgt. Ratchman. He is calm when he asks about Rachtman's Iron Cross and doesn't yell or scream when he's beating him to death. It's only after Ratchman dies that he goes ham impersonating Teddy Williams. {{quote\| '''Donny:''' You get the for killing Jews? '''Ratchman:''' Bravery.}} ---- === Pfc. Omar Ulmer === {{quote\| '''Played By:''' Omar Doom}} * [[Ascended Extra]] Line 94 ⟶ 99: * [[Adolf Hitler]]: Naturally. {{spoiler\|And this time, he gets his, messily shot to death.}} * [[Big Bad]]: Hitler, who else? * {{spoiler\|[[Death Byby Irony]]}} * [[Doomed Byby Canon]]: {{spoiler\|Completely averted.}} * [[Large Ham]]: Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, and oh yeah, Hitler. ** [[Incoming Ham]]: "NEIN, NEIN, NEIN!" * [[Villain Byby Default\|Villains By Default]] === Col. Hans ‘The Jew Hunter’ Landa === Line 106 ⟶ 111: * [[Affably Evil]]/[[Faux Affably Evil]] * [[Awesome By Analysis]]: He is essentially a Nazi [[Sherlock Holmes]], and may actually see himself as such (he insists that he's a "detective", and a damn good one; and he even has a gavel). * [[Breakout Character]] * [[Colonel Badass]] Line 114 ⟶ 119: * {{spoiler\|[[Mark of Shame]]}}: {{spoiler\|Becomes the unfortunate recipient of Aldo's masterpiece.}} * [[The Sociopath]] * [[Soft -Spoken Sadist]] * [[Too Clever Byby Half]]: His scheme doesn't go the way he envisions it; also, while he ''is'' responsible for {{spoiler\|the death of the German and Nazi High leadership}}, it's less because he {{spoiler\|sold them out to the Basterds}}, and more due to {{spoiler\|sparing a young Jewish girl ([[For the Evulz]], mind; he'd just killed her entire family, and he spared her just because [[It Amused Me\|it amused him]] to do so) and not recognising her as a vengeful adult.}} * [[Wicked Cultured]]: He ''embodies'' this trope. ---- === Frederick Zoller === {{quote\| '''Played By:''' Daniel Bruhl}} * [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Up to a point. [[Your Mileage May Vary]]; Soshanna would definitely disagree. * [[Elite Mook]] Line 126 ⟶ 131: * [[Punch Clock Villain]]: He confesses to Shosanna that he does not want to watch his film, because he does not feel proud of killing so many men. * [[Not-So-Harmless Villain]] * {{spoiler\|[[Taking You ~~With~~with Me]]}} ---- === Major Dieter Hellstrom === {{quote\| '''Played By:''' August Diehl}} * [[Big Bad Wannabe]] * [[Mook Lieutenant]] Line 135 ⟶ 140: ---- === [[Adolf Hitler]] === {{quote\| '''Played By:''' Martin Wuttke}} * [[Adolf Hitler]] * [[Big Bad]] Line 141 ⟶ 146: ---- === Joseph Goebbels === {{quote\| '''Played By:''' Sylvester Groth}} * [[Fan Disservice]]: Thanks for the Goebbels sex scene, Quentin. Line 147 ⟶ 152: === Lt. Archie Hicox === {{quote\| '''Played By:''' Michael Fassbender}} * {{spoiler\|[[Face Death ~~With~~with Dignity]]}} * [[Only Sane Man]] * [[Token Good Teammate]] Line 154 ⟶ 159: ---- === Bridget von Hammersmark === {{quote\| '''Played By:''' [[Diane Kruger]]}} A beautiful German actress who is secretly working for the Allies. * [[Anti-Hero]]: Type IV Line 164 ⟶ 169: ---- === General Ed Fenech === {{quote\| '''Played By:''' [[~~WTH~~What the Hell, Casting Agency?\|Mike Myers]]}} * [[One-Scene Wonder]] Line 170 ⟶ 175: === Shoshanna Dreyfus === {{quote\| '''Played By:''' Melanie Laurent}} A French Jew whose entire family was murdered by Hans Landa's men. She eventually owns a cinema. Line 177 ⟶ 182: * [[The Chessmaster]] * [[Lady in Red]] * [[Matzo Fever]] * [[Power Blonde]] * [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] Line 185 ⟶ 190: ---- === Marcel === {{quote\| '''Played By:''' Jacky Ido}} He is Shoshanna's boyfriend as well as the film projectionist at her cinema. * [[Anti-Hero]]: Type III * {{spoiler\|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Maybe. Unlike the people in the theater, he had a possible escape route (hey, he had to get in through the back part of the theater somewhere).}} * [[Satellite Character]]: We never get to learn anything about him, other than that he's Shosanna's boyfriend and a very good projectionist. * [[Where Da White Woman At]]
