Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
Starring: Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Mike Myers, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth, Melanie Laurent
Other mistake: At the very beginning, the first cut to Mr Lapadite he has an axe in his hand, ready to strike (and we heard two strike sounds before), but there is no log to cut. (00:03:17)
Suggested correction: He is cutting the stump. We see him actively cut it too, not only ready to strike.
Factual error: Near the end, when Lt. Raine is being interrogated by Col. Landa, there is a phone on the table with a coiled phone cord. Coiled phone cords were not used until the late 1950s.
Lt. Aldo Raine: The German will be sickened by us, the German will talk about us, and the German will fear us.
Trivia: Denis Menochet plays Lea Seydoux's father in this movie, even though in real life he is only nine years older than Seydoux.
Question: Why does Hugo Stiglitz kill the German officers in the first place? The film mentions his enlistment, but how is this related to his killings?
Answer: Based on his willingness to join the Basterds, we can assume he killed them because he didn't believe in what the Nazis were doing.
There is a cut of him being whipped during the bar scene. I think he was taking revenge for harsh and perhaps undeserved punishment.
No, the whipping is how it feels in his mind sitting next to that SS officer and having to pretend to like him and be a Nazi. He's ready to snap.
