Watch The Inglorious Bastards For Free

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

France 1944. Five U.S army convicts, Lieutenant Yeager, Fred Canfield, Tony, Nick and Bearle are being transported to a military prison when their convoy is ambushed by the Germans. The condemned men use this opportunity to escape and plan on heading to neutral Switzerland. As the men make their way towards the border, they mistakenly kill a platoon of American commandos disguised as Nazis and subsequently fall into the hands of the free French. Lieutenant Yeager is now obligated to aid the French in a secret commando mission, to steal the detonator of the latest V2 rocket...This latter day Macaroni Combat actioner from Enzo G. Castellari is a rip roaring ride in warsploitation. Quentin Tarantino, an avid lover of Italian cinema, borrowed the title and altered it for his spectacular 2009 wartime saga(his Inglourious Basterds is not directly linked to this movie, although it is a homage to Macaroni Combat movies). Castellari is something of a god where Italian cinema is concerned and this film is a fantastic example of why this is the case. Explosive action sequences with crazy stunts, an immense bodycount and spectacular amounts of chaos on show are the order of the day here!. The aforementioned solid action scenes could only be achieved under the helm of Castellari himself and this movie is a firm example of why he is truly adept at directing action. The performances were excellent and the characters likable. Bo Svenson was cool and Fred Williamson and Peter Hooten were also superb. The film is almost comic book-like and I got a laugh out of it's humorous aspects. It couldn't have had a better score from Francesco Di Masi and the title/end credit sequences were awesome in their own right!.This is really everything I want a war movie to be, simple and action packed with decent characters. If you want a session of solid escapism, then this is the movie for you. In fact it's the best the Macaroni Combat subgenre has ever looked!. 9/10

This is another embarrassingly bad attempt by the Italians to produce a WWII movie - this time inspired (if that's the right word) by 'The Dirty Dozen'. The action - and I use the word in its loosest possible sense - is reminiscent of the Keystone Cops. Hand grenades are thrown and bodies pop up into the air like champagne corks in the most absurdly comic fashion. The most - make that the only - interesting thing about this film is the appearance of Ian Bannen. I imagine he is still trying to live down his part in this absolute dog. I can only assume he needed the money. If you insist upon watching this appalling piece of drivel, I would strongly recommend a full lobotomy beforehand - it may make the experience less painful.

In a nutshell, Enzo G. Castellari's legendary 1978 Eurocult classic "The Inglorious Bastards," which brought together "Walking Tall" star Bo Svenson, blaxploitation legend Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, and a whole lot of dead Italians is a naked chick war film that was an inspiration for Quentin Tarantino.In fact, there is supposedly footage in Quentin's film borrowed from this one (I haven't seen the new version yet), and Director Castellari (Keoma, Cold Eyes of Fear) is an actor in the new film.To say that the body count in this film is high is a misnomer; almost as many people died in this film as in the whole war.Like The Dirty Dozen, it is about a misfit group of deserters that is charged with an extremely dangerous mission to capture a German rocket.One heck of a bang up ending.

I viewed this movie because the QT movie of the same title came out in 2009. I enjoyed the drama of this movie, the plot twists, and action. I was raised in the era of Clint Eastwood's Italian westerns and while this was a low budget Italian made film, it contains some of the elements that makes those movies so great.Slightly like the Dirty Dozen this movie remains true to history and looks deep into human nature. There is a lot of good action scenes and the acting is great for the style. There are better action war films to watch but few that will remain a classic like this one.While I did not enjoy the 2009 movie by QT, I must thank him for directing my attention to this title. Enzo Girolami Castellari is by far a much better director from viewing both movies of the same title. My advice is to rent both and come to your own conclusions.
