The Basterd's Inspiration

I am sure that many of us have seen Inglorious Basterds. I think it is one of Quentin Tarantino's most brilliant and clever movies. Well they all are but this one is certainly one of the best. If you don't know Tarantino's films take huge inspiration from exploitation flicks of the 70's, kung fu flicks, spaghetti westerns, others and obviously war movies. The main story of Inglorious Basterds can be traced back to a couple of films. The original Inglorious Bastards which was somewhat similar and The Dirty Dozen just to name a couple. All three of these films have a group of renegade soldiers going undercover to terrorize the Nazi's in some way and all three are damn good. Here is the trailer for The Dirty Dozen.
