For her efforts, Dietrich received the thanks of O. Donovan, and the American Medal of Freedom.
Also, during the war, Dietrich's sister and her husband were still in Germany, where they ran a cinema in Belsen that was frequented by German officers. Dietrich and her sister were reunited after the war. While hiding under the floor of the LaPadite house, Shoshanna could not understand the conversation between the French dairy farmer and S.
Colonel Landa had in English. However Shosanna filmed her speech to the soon to be incinerated German political elite in fluent English. Many of the German theater audience, including Hitler, would not have understood what she said. One of the movie posters shows a bloody German helmet dangling from an equally bloody baseball bat.

In the film, a group of German soldiers are playing a game where one has to guess what famous name is written on one's forehead. The note on the soldier played by Ken Duken reads Mata Hari , a Dutch exotic dancer and courtesan who became known for being a double agent for Germany during World War I.
Apart from the obvious rhyming, they earned the name due in part to their fearsome reputation against the Japanese, much like the fictional "Basterds" in Europe.
One example of this can be found in the English subtitles of characters speaking in a foreign language. Occasionally, the foreign word is inserted into the subtitle. Instead of the word "Yes" appearing in the subtitle, the word "Oui" appears, despite the fact that the rest of the French dialogue is translated to English. The word "inglorious" is never said throughout the film. It is, however, scratched into the stock of Lieutenant Raine's Brad Pitt's gun.
Quentin Tarantino never learned the French and German translations of his dialogue, and would direct all non-English scenes on intuition. Despite being described as the one who "speaks the least Italian", of the three Basterds to enter the movie theater impersonating Italian filmmakers, it is Private First Class Omar Ulmer Omar Doom who has the most believable Italian accent.
Rumor had it that Harvey Weinstein was trying to force Quentin Tarantino to cut forty minutes of the movie which ran two hours and twenty-eight minutes after getting feedback from the Cannes Film Festival. However, Harvey denied this rumor, stating that Tarantino was reorganizing some scenes since he didn't have enough time to completely finish editing the film before sending it to Cannes, since he was given only six weeks to edit, whereas other directors are given normally six months to a year.
In fact, the theatrical cut runs five minutes longer than the cut that was premiered at Cannes.

Raine and Wilhelm also discuss the requirements for a "Mexican standoff".
He chose the former. In Legends of the Fall , Brad Pitt played a man who scalped two German soldiers, and got involved with bootlegging. In this film, he played the leader of a group that scalps German soldiers, and mentions a past involvement in bootlegging.
None of the weapons used by the Basterds are American, befitting their status as a clandestine group of military assassins in occupied enemy territory. Novak discussed in an interview how he and the rest of the cast received training in handling German weapons from a company in Berlin that specialized in technical presentation of German military hardware.
The backstory was that the Basterds seized the guns and other armaments from every Nazi they killed and would be able to handle them flawlessly.

Regardless of the title spoken, the subtitles always use Heer ranks in English. Tom Tykwer translated the parts of the script that were to be in German. Michael Madsen was originally announced to star as a character named Babe Buchinsky.
This character was named for Charles Buchinsky, better known by his screen name Charles Bronson , who starred in The Dirty Dozen , an inspiration for this movie. Cloris Leachman originally appeared in the film as Mrs. Himmelstein, an elderly Jewish woman living in Boston. Although filmed, the scenes featuring Mrs. Himmelstein drinking tea with Donny Donowitz and signing his trademark baseball bat afterward were cut from the final film.
Quentin Tarantino says that he might use the footage in the prequel instead. Although Michael Fassbender is fluent in German, he admitted that he normally speaks German with a mid-atlantic accent and had to work with a voice coach to sound right as an undercover English officer passing as German.
Shosanna Dreyfus is named after actress Julie Dreyfus , who appears in the film as Francesca Mondino. A moth crawls up the side of his glass and ends up spiraling down inside toward the base of the glass. The first half-second of the sound clip appears about ninety minutes into the movie, and the remainder of the scream appears about twenty minutes later.

He also felt that he would be unable to work efficiently within the amount of time given. During his recruiting monologue near the beginning of the movie, Lieutenant Aldo Raine states that he's a descendant of "the mountain man Jim Bridger", who really did have Native American wives.
Consequently, his nickname is "Aldo the Apache". The literary character Sherlock Holmes is referred to at least twice in the film. The first reference is Landa's smoking pipe, which is a Calabash Meerschaum, the exact same one that Holmes used.
The other is Landa's line, "A damn good detective. Finding people is my specialty. In preparation for playing Sir Winston Churchill , Rod Taylor watched dozens of DVDs with footage of Churchill in order to get his posture, body language, and voice, including a lisp, correct.
Although Quentin Tarantino wanted the film to be shown exclusively in 35mm, it ended up being shown in some digital locations. The French village of Nadine depicted in the film doesn't really exist. However, on the map shown to Lieutenant Hicox, its location largely corresponds to the real-life town of Nanteuil-le-Haudouin. Also, the word "Haudouin" is still visible on the map, suggesting that it was accidentally left there, while the first part of the town name has been removed and replaced by "Nadine".
She learned the language excessively watching Gossip Girl episodes. Nastassja Kinski was in talks for the role of Bridget Von Hammersmark.
Quentin Tarantino even flew to Germany to meet the actress, but a deal wasn't reached. In the basement bar scene, one of the enlisted men refers to Karl May and says his character is Winnetou. This is a reference to the western themed adventure books by Karl May Winnetou was a Native American hero in several of the books.
May was one of Adolf Hitler 's favorite authors. However, the gesture the man makes of touching the heart and greeting with three fingers is an anachronism, as it was a signature gesture of Winnetou in the movies from the sixties.
Diane Kruger claimed she, and the other German actors in the bar scene, had to learn their lines in both English and German, since Tarantino directed the scene in English, and even when speaking German on the set the actors had to speak in pace with how the English version of the dialogue would be presented in subtitles.
According to Eddie Murphy , he was in talks with Quentin Tarantino for a role in the film. Shosanna's theater was modelled after a few theaters in California, but it was the Vista Cinema Silverlake and Los Angeles Theater that were the main influences in its design.

Lieutenant Archie Hicox Michael Fassbender wears the insignia of the British Combined Operations Command, which included forces from all the British services as well as other allied forces as well as the famous Commandos.

But scheduling conflicts got in the way, so Quentin Tarantino cast Maggie Cheung in the role. The role wound up being cut out of the finished film. In , Quentin Tarantino was quoted as saying that he had written the script, a World War II story, but that he needed to convert it to a shooting script.
He said that writing the script and preparing a shooting script were two different things. He played Major Hellstrom, the S. Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger appeared in Troy At the premiere, Colonel Landa is wearing a golden medal around his neck which covers his tie.
This is the Knights Cross of the War Merit Cross, in gold with swords, to recognize non-combat contributions to the Third Reich war effort. Only nine awards were made during the war, and it was actually instituted in October , so it was impossible for Landa to be a recipient.
Although, since this movie is a fictional story, set against the backdrop of World War II, the point is rendered moot, considering Tarantino's storytelling capabilities. The German language version of the film omits much of the multilingual aspects of the script, except when it is absolutely necessary for the scene. In the opening scene for example, the dialogue is changed so that Landa and Perrier La Padite begin their conversation in French and switch to German rather than English.
However, all of Michael Fassbender's dialogue tracks had to be rerecorded, including dialogue originally filmed in German, since Lt. Hilcox is introduced speaking German dubbed by a different actor. Harvey Keitel and Samuel L. Jackson only appear through voice-overs.
