The Inglorious Bastards is a 1978 low budget Italian World War II film made in the tradition of The Dirty Dozen that involves a group of Army prisoners who are given a chance to redeem themselves and avoid a long sentence or execution by participating in a covert mission to retrieve a key piece of German technology. Director Quentin Tarantino gave homage to this film with the title of his 2009 World War II film Inglourious Basterds, but the plots of the films are completely unrelated.
