'''''The Inglorious Bastards''''' (originally titled ''Quel maledetto treno blindato'') is a 1978 Italian World War II film directed by [[Enzo G.

The Inglorious Bastards (1978)

The Inglorious Bastards (originally titled Quel maledetto treno blindato) is a 1978 Italian World War II film directed by Enzo G. Castellari and starring Bo Svenson, Fred Williamson, and Ian Bannen. It is the most famous example of "Macaroni Combat," which was the war movie equivalent of the "Spaghetti Western." Like The Dirty Dozen and Play Dirty, the protagonists are a rag-tag bunch of prisoners, behind enemy lines on a dangerous mission. Director and writer Quentin Tarantino paid homage to this film with the title of his 2009 World War II film Inglourious Basterds, but other than cameos by both Svenson and Castellari, the two films have little in common.

Partway through filming, the Italian government imposed a ban on blank firing weapons due to increased terrorist activity. Since finishing the film abroad would've been too expensive, the film was only completed with rewrites, replicas, careful editing and camera tricks. The castle assault, for example, was rewritten with slingshots, crossbows and halberds replacing guns.
