He has said many times that this would be his next film but Quentin Tarantino is a man who usually talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk when it comes to future projects. Inglorious Bastards has how ever been on his plate the longest after Kill Bill but recent reports have wondered if he will do that as a theatrical feature or as a TV series.
His film gets his name from the Enzo G. Castellari 70's warsplotation film starring Bo Svenson and Fred Williamson and other than the name and the period the films have little in common. Here our heroes have are trying head to Switzerland to escape military imprisonment and the war but end up volunteering to steal a Nazi warhead for the French Underground. I haven't seen this myself but the DVD cover features a naked chick shooting a machine gun so I'm there.
Now is your chance to get the original film on DVD via Denmark, unavailable in the US, where today it's being released on a 2 disc special edition.
This release presents the film uncut, in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and 2.0 Dolby Digital Mono, both English and Italian. There is also an interview with the director and the composer of the film along with trivia, trailers, stills and stuff. A great looking package for next to nothing.
