TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Leofwine_draca When Enzo G. Castellari – acclaimed Italian director of polizia flicks – took the helm of this DIRTY DOZEN rip-off Italian war movie, you could be forgiven for expecting clichéd slow-motion shoot-outs and machine guns aplenty. You'd be right, because that's exactly what the film delivers – and great stuff it is too! The thin plot sees a bunch of disparate soldiers deep behind enemy lines, fighting both the Allies and the Germans as they wreak havoc across a lush green landscape. Essentially, this is a string of spectacular set-pieces, from bombing raids to ambushes, vehicle chases, and more besides.The film has a great B-movie cast with many stalwart veterans popping up. Whether it's Dr Butcher himself, Donald O'Brien, as a nasty Nazi officer or Ian Bannen as a stiff-upper-lip British officer, this is a film of familiar faces. The leading roles are taken by Bo Svenson and Fred Williamson, both playing exceptionally cool hero types who it's fun to root for.But Castellari is the real star here. The director has a knack of injecting his action sequences with a kind of limitless energy that others – even Tarantino – just can't reach. There's not a great deal of slow motion here, but lots of cheesy machine gun battles of the kind that became popular when Stallone and Schwarzenegger did it in the 1980s. The low budget is evident in the use of repeated locations and lack of squib hits, but even so the greenery provides an attractive backdrop for the war-time hijinks. The best bit is at the end, in which our heroes attack a train, but a sequence in which they storm a Nazi-occupied castle is also a highlight. Generally this is a fun-filled and entertaining movie that aims and hits the B-movie mark.

PimpinAinttEasy It was a boring party. Pimpin stood on the sidelines. But there was always another bored extroverted guy/bored relative at these parties who wanted to penetrate your space.Bored Relative: Hey Pimpin. Hows married life?Pimpin: Hey, cant complain.Bored Relative: Watched any new movie?Pimpin: Yes, Inglorious Bastards.Bored Relative: But that's an old film.Pimpin: No this is the 1970s film. And not the Tarantino film.Bored Relative: What? There is a 70s film by the same name? Stop bluffing!Pimpin: Why would I bluff?Bored Relative: You were always such a film snob. Tarantino remakes a 70s film and does not even change the name?Pimpin: No you bitch! It is not even the same film. Stop pontificating about things you know nothing about.Bored relative: Why the swearing? Why are you so hostile?Pimpin: Because I hate you bitch!Bored relative: OK. I wont bother you anymore.Pimpin catches bored relative by his shirt sleeve and does not let him go.Pimpin: I cannot let you go. You intruded into my space. Inglorious Bastards is a 70s film by some Italian guy. Tarantino simply ripped off the name of the movie. It is a film about a bunch of war prisoners/criminals/deserters who mistakenly enter a mission. It is an action film. Some of the action sequences were well done. It was alright. It has naked woman. And a black hero as well as a white hero. I'm sure Tarantino borrowed the tongue in cheek spirit of the film for his later works. The film wears its mediocrity on its sleeve. It does have some long shots of ravaged land. The acting and script are awful. I don't recommend it to you or anyone in this party.Bored relative. OK. Could you let go of my sleeve now?Pimpn: Sure.Another guest: Pimpin, you need a drink.Pimpin: I need a drink but all the bars are closed.

Woodyanders World War II in 1944. A gang of condemned criminals escape from an Allied prison camp and try to make it to Switzerland. However, the motley bunch find themselves being forced to take part in a dangerous suicide mission deep inside Nazi-occupied France. Director Enzo Castellari relates the entertaining story at a brisk pace, stages the action set pieces with rip-roaring aplomb (the attack on a train in the last third seriously smokes), delivers plenty of bloody'n'brutal violence, tosses in a sprinkle of tasty gratuitous female nudity for good measure, and concludes the movie on a bold subversive note by allowing a character who least deserves to live to survive at the end. Moreover, Castellari handles the lively and compact material with a refreshing dearth of pretense; this picture gets down to thrilling brass tacks in a laudably straightforward and unpretentious manner. The excellent cast have a ball with their roles: Bo Svenson as the tough and stalwart Lt. Robert Yeager, Fred Williamson as the smooth and rugged Fred Canfield, Peter Hooten as brash punk Tony, Michael Pergolani as irreverent hippie thief Nick, Jackie Basehart as cowardly weakling Berle, Michel Constantin as noble resistance army leader Veronique, Debra Berger as sweet nurse Nicole, Raimund Harmstorf as helpful German renegade Adolf Sachs, Ian Bannen as the hard-nosed Colonel Charles Thomas Buckner, and Donald O'Brien as a nefarious Nazi officer. Francesco De Masi's robust score hits the rousing spot. Giovanni Bergamini's crisp cinematography provides a satisfying polished look. An immensely fun flick.

Mark Honhorst Forget about the Tarantino piece of $%!@ that came out recently, this is the original Inlglorious Bastards, and it's way better! It has almost nothing to do with the Tarantino garbage, which is one of the things that makes it good. Instead of having long, boring conversations, we get scenes that every guy like me loves: Violence, shoot-outs and gore galore! This is an action movie, and is therefore entertaining, unlike, you guessed it, the Tarantino movie with the same name! Plus this one's only 99 minutes long, unlike Tarantino's never ending turkey, and every minute is filled with action, one liners, and fun! There's not much more I feel I have to say. Inglorious Bastards 1978=Win! Inglorious Basterds 2009=Fail! I highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a breakneck paced action movie. I highly recommend Tarantino's "film" of the same name to anyone who wants to be put to sleep.
