the inglorious bastard or that bloody armor train or counterfeit commando or deadly mission or g. i. bro or hell hero or more and depend on what version of the film you be watch have see a rise in attention by the release of quentin tarantino inglourious basterds . unlike the similarity between the two film title may suggest and outside of the fact that the central character of both film be a group of misfit soldier in a french world war ii setting and there be little to compare this 1978 italian make the inglorious bastard from the 2009 quentin tarantino make inglourious basterds . this b movie spaghetti war film take u to a still mostly nazi occupied france in world war ii where a handful of american soldier be on their way to the near military prison ( or noose ) for a variety of crime via a truck convoy . in a glorious stroke of luck and five of these inglorious bastard survive a german air attack on the convoy and head for neutral switzerland and only to end up participate in a french resistance raid . the inglorious bastard be a pretty bad movie and though it do stand out a good than most b movie spaghetti war film . it be a dirty dozen style shootemup action film that end up not very spectacular at all ( although there be some scene on top of a move train that be reminiscent of 1983 octopussy ) and try to be poignant now and then and humorous fail with every attempt . certainly not historically accurate and the inglorious bastard feature a few element that stand out as definitely not of the world war ii era represent side burn and long hair and and handlebar mustache specifically do not often make it into the rank of the united state army in the 1940s . the cinematography and production value put the film a few step ahead of much of the spaghetti war film genre but everything be still very cheap and look and feel like the film be make in 1968 a oppose to it actual 1978 release . but that not all represent the acting be also awful . fred williamson be easily the strong member of the cast because of his extremely affable tough guy persona but the rest of the cast member seem to either overact and look like clown and or be about as animate a a shipwreck peter hooten be especially bad and managing to both overplay and underplay his role from scene to scene . but the inglorious bastard do include a fairly high body count and a lot of unintentional b movie humor and a monsoon of machinegun fire and and a river full of naked fräuleins . if all of that be enough to do it for you and then i suggest you have at the inglorious bastard .
