Inglourious Basterds - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Cameos from the original 1978 film

Enzo G. Castellari, the director of the original "The Inglorious Bastards," has a cameo as a Nazi general during the film premiere scene. Bo Svenson, a star of the original film, also has a small cameo as a U.S. general in the "Nation's Pride" film-within-a-film.

Harvey Keitel and Samuel L. Jackson's voices

Two of Tarantino's frequent collaborators make uncredited vocal appearances. Samuel L. Jackson serves as the film's narrator. Harvey Keitel is the voice of the OSS Commander on the other end of the radio when Landa negotiates his surrender with Aldo Raine.

The name 'Antonio Margheriti'

When Donny Donowitz and Omar Ulmer go undercover as Italians, they use the alias "Antonio Margheriti." This is a tribute to the real-life Italian director of the same name, known for films like "Cannibal Apocalypse," who was a major influence on Tarantino and Eli Roth.
