“Inglourious Basterds” 2009 by Quentin Tarantino – Movie Goofs

In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as ‘The Basterds’ are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers. |

“Inglourious Basterds” Goofs List

  • Plot holes: Spoiler: The Basterds consists of 9 people in the beginning and they add Hugo Stiglitz along the way. Making the group an even 10 people. Stiglitz and Wicki are killed in the basement bar. Lt. Hicox is not a member of the basterds. The group is now down to 8 men. Donowitz and Ulmer are killed in the cinema leaving the group with 6 people. Lt. Raine and PFC are captured and the remaining 4 people are never heard of: Hirschberg, Sakowitz, Zimmerman and Kagan. Since Utivich is already in the truck when Lt. Raine is thrown in there, we are to assume that the rest has been killed, making Utivich the sole survivor from the attack.
  • Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Spoiler: Any mistake relating to actual facts of the Second World War can be thrown out with one explanation: This is Tarantino’s universe, where Hitler was blown up in a burning theater. Anything can happen.
  • Continuity: Spoiler: When Shosanna takes the specially prepared fourth reel (with her ’surprise’ for the Nazis) out of the case, her hair is down and hanging loose. In the next shot, just a few seconds later, as she is putting the reel on the projector, her hair is pinned back. Some time after this, when the bell on her projector tinkles to let her know it’s time to switch reels, she glances out the projector porthole at the audience and we see her hair is again down and hanging loose. As she pulls the lever to activate the reel, just a few seconds after this, her hair is once again pinned back, remaining this way throughout her final scene.
  • Revealing mistakes: Spoiler: When Col. Hans Landa’s men shoot through the floor boards in LaPadite’s house, the resultant bullet holes in the boards are funnel shaped, being larger in diameter at the top and smaller diameter at the bottom. In reality, the opposite would be true. The point of entry would be just a clean round hole with no funnel shape carved in the boards as seen from above the floor boards.
  • Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Spoiler: It is hard to believe that Landa who checks for the cinema’s safety does not discover the enormous pile of highly flammable cellulose nitrate film behind the screen. However, Landa is shown at the end of the movie to only be looking out for his own interests. It is likely that he saw the film, but chose not to report it so he could ensure that his attempt to gain amnesty would succeed.
  • Crew or equipment visible: Spoiler: Reflection of camera and operator is visible on the short wave radio mike that Landa’s holding when speaking to the American general.
  • Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Spoiler: Though Melanie Laurent’s characters’ first name is spelled Shosanna, various characters throughout the film pronounce her name ‘Shoshanna’. Most notably Col. Landa when he shouts ‘Au Revoir, Shoshanna!’ as she runs away after her family is killed.
  • Revealing mistakes: Spoiler: After Donny and Omar kill Hitler and Goebbels in the Opera box, as they begin to fire randomly into the panicking crowd, Donny’s white shirt is clean and spotless. Each successive view of him as he continues firing into the crowd, shows his shirt becoming more and more blood-spattered even though the crowd he is firing into, is more than ten feet below him on the floor of the auditorium. The only people close enough to spatter his shirt with blood were Hitler, Goebbels and the woman companion, who they’d already killed before any blood is shown on Donny’s shirt.
  • Continuity: Spoiler: In the last scene Aldo shoots Herrman. In the shot where he shoots Herrman it is seen that he falls facing away from Aldo, i.e. is the farthest away from Aldo. But later when Uitivich is scalping Herrman we see that Herrman’s head is facing Aldo. This can be proved because Uitivich even looks up in Aldo’s direction.
  • Factual errors: Hitler has brown eyes in the movie, but in reality he had light blue eyes.
  • Continuity: In the first chapter, when Col. Landa was talking to the Gentile holding the Jews, the glass of milk he was drinking repeatedly moved positions back and forth, and the level of milk in the glasses changes.
  • Continuity: When Lt. Aldo Raine is speaking to Col. Hans Landa in the forest, his open bow tie on his right disappears and reappears under his jacket.
  • Factual errors: During Hitler’s first appearance we see a map of Europe and where Turkey is supposed to be, reads ‘Osmanien’ (written in Fraktur, making the ’s’ look like a ‘t’). The Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1923 and Turkey was established in that region, approximately 20 years before when this movie is supposed to be taking place.
  • Continuity: After Mathilda has taken Bridgets place to join the quiz game with the soldiers, bartender Eric leaves the counter and walks over to assist her. He is shown standing left behind her. Then the camera cuts to the officers’ table. In the background Eric is shown standing behind the counter again.
  • Continuity: During the beginning of the movie, a couple of painters are painting on the wall while Hitler is talking to his generals. But they are gone in the next over-head camera angle shot.
  • Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the Lieutenant meets the General and Churchill, the strings are hanging out of his beret which is the French style, not the American or British style (unless the Director was trying to show the character’s lack of military bearing.)
  • Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Col. Hans Landa claims the Bubonic Plague was caused by rats. However the plague was caused by fleas on the rats, not the rats themselves. Despite this, at the time it was largely believed rats were the cause so it is correct for Landa’s character to be mistaken.
  • Continuity: In chapter one, when Colonel Landa is sitting at the kitchen table with Perrier LaPadite, the shadow changes shape and ‘density’ and sometimes disappears completely during different shots from the same camera angle. When Colonel Landa starts writing on the piece of paper, the shadow nearly covers half the table and is very dark, but then when we see the same camera angle a few seconds later, there’s no shadow on the table. It then reappears again but of different length in another shot from the same angle about a minute later.
  • Continuity: When Lt Raine is speaking to the Basterds and says ‘We’re into one thing’, he is standing at the right side (Samm Levine’s) of the formation. An instant later, when he says ‘Killin’ Nazis’, he is at the other end. There was not enough time to get from one side of the formation to the other.
  • Continuity: The level of beer in the glass, shaped like a boot, of the Nazi-officer in the basement pub, changes between shots.
  • Factual errors: At the premier, Pvt. Zoller is in his full dress uniform with all his decorations. He wears the Knight’s Cross with oak leaves, swords, and cut diamonds around his neck and the Iron Cross 2nd class on his chest. However, conspicuously absent is the Iron Cross 1st class, which he certainly would’ve worn to the occasion (see where Hitler wears his), and which is necessary to receive the Knight’s Cross. Without the 1st class award, he could not have received a Knight’s Cross let alone with oak leaves, swords, and cut diamonds.
  • Factual errors: At the premier, Pvt. Zoller wears his Knight’s Cross around his neck but when in uniform in all other scenes, he is without it. The Knight’s Cross is of the highest orders the Third Reich bestowed upon soldiers and when in any uniform Zoller would have worn it around the neck.
  • Anachronisms: At the cinema, Col. Landa is shown wearing the Knight’s Cross of the War Merit Cross in Gold. That award did not exist in 1944.
  • Continuity: In the final scene where Col. Landa is surrendering to Lt. Raine, Lt. Raine’s tie is untied and hanging off both shoulders. In one shot, the right half of the tie moves behind him, then returns in front in the next shot.
  • Continuity: During the cinema scene when Shosanna is taking the letters off the marquee, the position of the letters on the blanket changes between shots.
  • Continuity: When Shosanna is on the ladder for the second time, before the Germans come to take her, she is cleaning black letters. She cleans 2 different letters, one of them a ‘u’, another one, and the ‘l’ remains uncleaned. The next shot you can see only the ‘l’ has been cleaned.
  • Anachronisms: After Sgt. Donowitz (‘The Bear Jew’) kills the German soldier with the bat, he struts about shouting a ‘play-by-play’ account of his action. During this, he uses the phrase ‘Donowitz goes yard!’, meaning hitting a home run. The term ‘goes yard’ was not used for a home run until the 1990s.
