Can you count how many times Simone said "Oh My God"?

Incidentally, the first scene in this film-when Landa visits the French farmhouse-is now taught in film schools as an example of how to build suspense.

The story of Christoph Waltz is that Tarantino almost didn't make the movie because he couldn't find a Landa who could speak three languages fluently (how crazy is that?) and when he finally met Waltz...it was a bingo!

As an European, I immediately caught that the number 3 was shown in a "weird" way and I knew that they are in trouble.

The bit at the start where Hans landa holds her wrist long and uncomfortably is because he is checking the daughters pulse to see her heart rate to see if she is nervous or not!

Went to see this with a friend who grew up in Germany and when Fassbender’s character raised the wrong three fingers, he immediately went “oh shit, he screwed up!”

When Pitt went 'Bonjourno' the whole cinema erupted with laughter :-)

I’m surprised Simone didn’t jump out of her seat and shout, “That’s Canadian National Treasure Mike Myers playing the General!”

Christoph Waltz is one of the BEST actors of all time, in my opinion. He can speak like 4 or more languages and can play the most sincere and heart warming to the most cynical and terrifying characters you've ever seen!

"Pourquoi" is "whatfor" litterally word for word. But "why" or "why for" is often a better tranlation. "why not" would be "pourquoi pas"

The story goes that during a script reading, Brad Pitt, read his "Grazie" line the way he did in the movie and everyone busted out laughing. It's kinda like the American trope of how bad we are at learning other languages which makes it so perfect since his character is from Tennessee.

What i love about the first scene is that Landa apparently doesn't like smoking, he just did that as a display of his superiority against the farmer in the situation

One of, if not the, top moments of this film is hearing Brad Pitt, in his character accent, pronounce "Bon Journo" - classic!

“Nation’s Pride” is likely supposed to be the fictional analog to Triumph of the Will by Riefenstahl, the famous propaganda film.

1:11 There is a scene in the film which shows the rifle of Aldo Raine and on is a carving which reads, “Inglourious Basterds”. According to the portal, the scene was a way to show that Aldo Raine could not spell and that was how he had spelled the two words. Hence drawing the connection to the title of the film.

Germans and other Europeans learn to count starting with their thumb. That's why the German three is thumb, index- and middle finger. I believe in the English native speaking world you learn to start counting with your index finger. Your way is as unnatural to us as our way is to you, that's why it's so noticable. Even though Tarantino tried to make it pretty clear by keeping the German in the frame when he put up the three fingers, it seems like Americans were pretty surprised by the turn, while the German audience immediatly knew he fucked up.

Some of the few US movies where "the Germans" can also speak German properly. All the "germans" in this movie were also played by german / austrians actors.

Just the intro of this movie and it's already a Masterpiece. As Italian, I can say the italian part is great. Except for two little mistakes ("difficile DA trovare" , not "difficile DI trovare") Christoph Waltz italian accent is so damn good, and he speaks four languages in this movie: English, German, Franch and Italian. Oh, there are so many hidden things and class touches in this movie... very difficult to find.I could bingewatch all the Tarantino movies without getting tired.

The thing about Landa is that everything he does has a purpose. every touch, every word, every reaction. he’s a pro at gauging people. he’s extremely intelligent

In the script, Brad Pitt’s character actually spoke convincing Italian, but when he added his accent to it, Tarantino realized it worked so much better for a very specific reason; the plan is fucking dumb and the terrible accent sheds light on just HOW dumb the plan has become. It shouldn’t work, the ruse is so transparent anyone could see it, it only works because Landa lets it work.

This and Django Unchained are two of Christoph Waltz best movies!

There was a movie called Inglorious Bastards, and Tarantino wanted to change it up for his movie. Aldo's throat wasn't slit -- he was hanged, and the rope marks are prominent on his neck.

Ironic how the first Jewish person you see in the movie is Hitler's perfect Aryan. Blonde hair, blue eyes.

Col. Hans Landa holds the ladies wrist because he is checking her pulse while watching her face lies. Also. Adieu means goodbye where aur avoir means so long. When he let's Shoshanna go he basically says, I will see you again.

great you caught the sherlock holmes moment with the pipe! hans landa is a ss officer, but above of all he is a detective (like holmes)

I'll never forget how loud everyone in the audience laughed when Hans pulled out his enormous pipe. It was like a "mine's bigger than yours" vibe that slayed. Being in Philadelphia, I also remember the audience's reaction in Hateful 8 when Tim Roth announced "PHILADELPHIA!" as to what state the bar would represent in Minnie's Haberdashery. PS: As Canadians, I noticed the funniest things from you guys. Your interpretation of old American slang is amusing (sammich, whoop-for). Also the reason the rest of the restaurant is silent because of the high command being present. Once they heard serious discussion and some shouting (playful as it was) they shut up out of fear.

That’s actually a rope burn around Aldo’s neck. The implication is he tried to stop a lynching and got strung up himself.

If I’m not mistaken, this was Christoph Waltz’s first American movie. He only did German/European films before

Inglourious Basterds reactions never fail to make me smile. Thank you!

It's spelled that way because Tarantino is a horrible speller. IB steals its title from a '70s WWII flick that Tarantino used to use as a litmus test for new movie friends bc it was so obscure (if you knew what it was, you passed the test.) He hand writes his scripts and had spelled the title that way on page 1. Somebody pointed out it was spelled wrong, so he decided to keep it that way since it was "his" way of spelling it, and therefore "his" movie. also, the director of the original, Enzo Castellari, had a cameo in the movie as the guy yelling "fire" in the movie theater.

Everyone talks about Christoph Waltz and the scene with the farmer, but August Diehl in the bar scene is equally superb in terms of being menacing IMO.

By far my favorite Tarantino movie. But the first scene with Landa alone is so brilliant. And this introduced me and I think most Americans to Waltz. It's like, "Who is this guy???"

I love the joke in the Community TV series where Shirley says she watched Pulp Fiction but because it was on a flight and heavily altered she just thought it was "a 30 minute film about a group of friends who love cheeseburgers, dancing, and the bible".

Great reaction to Quentin’s masterpiece. Christoph Waltz is perfect in this movie!

Simone is so expressive XD You both seem really friendly, and you do a very good job.

One of the easiest ways to reveal a suspected spy who sounds perfect is to force them into a situation where they will perform an action that is natural to them but because it isn't natural to the one suspecting them of not being what they seem, it's a dead give away. In this case there are gestures that are different that we all do unthinkingly when our guard is down because we learned them by the concept of cultural rote. That's why the German officer played the game, why the alcohol. When your inhibitions are lowered and you are feeling at ease it is much harder to maintain a facade or acted responses. If you want to see who someone truly is, get them drunk. Everything else will fall away. If they refuse to drink, well that tells you something as well.

The hands suffocating diane Kruger/bridget von hammersmark actually belong to quentin tarantino. He wanted to make the scene authentic, so He took control over it and actually suffocating the actress to some extend. The usher calling everybody to take their seats actually is a famous german drummer of the Band "Die Ärzte" who is a big tarantino Fan and also an actor.

Two sequences in this film really left an impact on me. The scene where Shoshana is preparing herself, while David Bowie plays in the background. The other, is when Shoshana's face is being projected on the smoke, and she's laughing maniacally....that gave me chills!!

The Bear Jew is Eli Roth. He’s a director. He acts in Tarantino’s Death Proof too.

There are two theories about the spelling: if you read any of QT´s hand-written scripts... he ain´t the best speller in the world. However, if I remember correctly, the spelling is, according to him, because that´s how he imagines French or German people pronouncing it.

The pipe is called a calabash gourd and yes sometimes Sherlock Holmes is portrayed with one.

Opening scene is maybe the greatest scene ever I know its regular study in cinematic schools

i jist LOVE how you noticed the wrist holding from landa at the first scene....you see... he's a detective and he was checking HER PULSE...

I was taught the worst way to count on my fingers as a child. 1: index 2: index-middle 3: middle-ring-pinkie 4: index-middle-ring-pinkie Now, I just do it the German way.

Landa is a great villain because he is the banality of evil turned up to 11. He doesn't see himself as a Nazi zealot. He thinks himself a master craftsman practicing and improving his trade. And he's willing to jump ship and swear loyalty to whoever he thinks will allow him to continue to survive and maybe even practice his craft. This makes him the perfect antagonist to the heros of the movie who are all ideologically motivated.

It's a Hollywood trope that Villians drink milk in a glass. You see it from A Clockwork Orange to No Country for Old Men, even the show The Boys.

Apparently, the "Bear Jew" was going to be played by Adam Sandler, but either there were scheduling conflicts or Tarantino changed his mind (I honestly..........could see him doing that role; he IS good at playing very angry/violent outbursts like his roles in HAPPY GILMORE and PUNCH DRUNK LOVE)

I’ll echo many comment here: you guys are my favourite reaction duo (I like Blind Wave too, but that’s a different energy). I’m so happy to have discovered you. That’s a great movie! This comment was written while I was still watching your intro, but I can’t wait to see you watch the movie. My theory about basterds/bastards is to make the marketing campaign easier. Some parts of the US are weird about certain words.

Watched this with my wife in late 2015. My MIL was from East Germany, and as a result, my wife and SIL were fluent in the language and customs. Unsurprisingly, my wife clued in on Fassbender's accent and "wrong" three, which was super cool to me. But, I'll never forget just how fast and hard our hearts sank into our stomach out of sheer dread when Landa flawlessly switched to Italian on a dime...

fantastic movie + reaction! one of Tarantino's best! I think the title is spelled that way as a homage and to distinguish this film from another film, 'The Inglorious Bastards' (1978).

incredible acting performance by Christoph Waltz.

People always notice the misspelling of bastards but usually miss inglorious has an extra u.

That offbeat drum roll when Landa appears behind Shoshana in the restaurant. You just know exactly how she feels.

I'm still fairly new to the channel, but even can see Simone is just way too wholesome for a movie like this. 🤣🤣

Pourquois means why. He said "pourquois pas" what means 'why not'.

Nations Pride is an actual short film that Eli Roth made for the movie.

14:30 No, I think what happened was Landa could immediately gauge he wasn't really Italian because his accent was way off. He was the third "best".

I'm sure someone has said this in the comments, but, at the very beginning, when Landa grabs the wrist of the French girl, in fact he's taking her pulse to know if she's pretending that she's not absolutely terrified.

I so wanna see Simone react to the two Kill Bill movies! 🙏

Georges face throughout most of this movie, priceless.

Hand gestures are different in different cultures. At exactly 11:36 the English man tips off the German officer that he's out of place by giving the wrong hand signal for the number 3. He should have folded his pinky and ring fingers into the palm and extend the thumb, index, and middle fingers

06:05 Actually it looks more like a scar from being hung and surviving

The scar around Aldo's neck is actually from surviving a hanging.

Back in the 60s, I lived in France, and I was told about the European way of motioning "3", verses the English way, so it's authentic.

Tarantino likes to use Ennio Morricone soundtracks for his movies. Morricone was know for making amazing Western soundtracks. Morricone also worked closely with Sergio Leone who created the best Western Trilogy and Western movie of all time. Tarantino idolized Leone and how he was able to created such chilling atmosphere. Leone would write the script and music first then base his shots around the music. He also played music on set to help the actors with their facial expressions during his close ups.

tarintino lived in knoxville, tennessee for a short while but maynardville tennessee is a real place just north of there. still has moonshiners running to this day. pitt nailed the accent, and he sure as hell nailed that union county spirit.

Great movie, I love Tarantino and actually got him to sign my copy of 'Pulp Fiction' the screenplay. I also truly believe Simone is the most adorable woman on the planet! ❤ You guy's are great!

You guys should watch platoon great movie but it's hard to watch at points. Early charlie sheen but some of his best work

Guys, you should whatch all Tarantino's movies, from Reservoir Dogs to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood...you're gonna have a really great time.

18:50 - it's not that difficult to hide that swastika. A decent plastic surgeon could do it. Or you just add couple more scar lines and change the shape. Or burn it. It'll hurt, but it will heal.

Crazy thing is that for Kruger's strangulation scene, she was actually strangled

Your faces at the bar shootout scene were amazing XD

Not seeing any comments about this. In the scene where Hans Landa strangles Bridget Von Hammersmark, its Quentin Tarantino in a nazi outfit ACTUALLY strangling Diane Krueger until she passes out. Also in the giant fire scene, they really set that shit on fire, and some of the actors almost died. And for the swastika carving scene? They actually carved a swastika into Christolph Waltz's forehead..... That last one is the joke, but the first two are true.

How in gods name :D I just thought "Huh let's see if theres some people having watched Inglorious Basterds", and boom, uploaded a couple hours ago, and its a great video :)

Basterd is original olde ye historic English spelling before a lot of words become slightly modernised spelling wise as speech changes to homogenise between countries internationally over time. I believe!!

Christoph Waltz is incredible.

Recently discovered your channel. I’ve really enjoyed your reactions.

"Dammit, Hirschberg..."

Such a great movie, and you guys have so many good observations, thank you for that.

The Heywood Chewblowme shout-out at the end was a hidden gem!

Brad Pitt repeats his scalping during WW1 from Legends of the Fall.

"This movie is...weird" It's Quentin Tarantino, what else would it be?

The British accented officer who talks of the Reich's movie 'Nation's Pride' is Autsin Powers!

Did you recognize that the War hero is played by the same guy who plays Baron Zemo in Marvel?

A part of the formation of the Hell's Angeles was in response to boredom of everyday life for some men returning from World War 2. They couldn't adjust so the outlaw life made sense.

“The bear jew” was a role originally written for Adam Sandler

this is my favorite Tarantino's movie. By a bit, because most of his films are awesome.

A partial explanation of how quiet the street is outside the restaurant is that French civilians would be unlikely to be able to get gasoline.

Stubborn enough person can survive anything 😁

As Tarantino himself said: this is his masterpiece

“The bear Jew” is Eli Roth the director. Like the “hostel” movies

In case nobody has mentioned it: the name is a copyright/originality/reference thing: there is another film called THE Inglourious BastArds that actually has some plot resemblance as well. Tarantino has talked about this very openly.

The only problem with this movie is that I doubt Tarantino will ever top it! Every shot seems perfectly framed, the cast is great, and the scene where Soshana prepares for the event (using Bowie's music) is one of the greatest. My favorite of his work.

Christoph Waltz is an Amazing Actor. Definitely have to React to Django Unchained. He's Amazing in that Movie.

Hugo Stiglitz is a quintessential William Blowskawitz from Wolfenstein

George, a lot of the combat veterans who came home from World War II, particularly those who fought in the Pacific, had to readjust to civilian life after having seen and participated in that kind of savagery. Some weren't able to make the transition back, but many were able to do so. For example, I'm thinking of the real Marines, Eugene and Sid, portrayed in The Pacific. Eugene was haunted by PTSD for the rest of his life, but Sid made a fairly smooth readjustment. I remember reading a memoir by a soldier who fought in Europe; he described realizing in Europe that he had become desensitized to the point where seeing mutilated corpses had no effect on him - just part of the scenery - and he was horrified at himself, thinking he would never be normal again. Then shortly after he got back to the States and civilian life, he saw a traffic accident in which someone had died in a gruesome way, and he threw up. So context was crucial for him.

ITs spelled like that because.... Quote... "Thats just how you say it!" . And I love it for that reason lmao. It also does kind of look cooler than the original spelling if that makes sense?

Just found your channel and it’s awesome! Love your stuff keep it up!!!!!! On the film: as a Jewish person this film makes me so happy. Seeing an all Jewish-American force going in to scalp and tear down the Nazi leadership was amazing! The fact that the characters were Jewish-American made it so much better when they enacted these things. It made the vengeance mean more knowing the history going on.

Nice reaction. Why did you guys blur out the map when Hitler was talking though? Edit; nevermind, i forgot they had those bad symbols on them

Funny to go back and watch some of your older stuff before y'all had the organization you do now, and watch Simone introduce George on the wrong side....lol
