In the film’s first scene, set in 1941, Hans Landa talks about Reinhard Heydrich, a real-life member of the SS, and explains that he had been assassinated. In real life, Heydrich wasn’t assaulted until almost an entire year after this scene was set, so should have been alive at this point. Of course, we can let Tarantino off, as Inglourious Basterd...
In a move that seems a little too obvious a mistake for it to slip by Tarantino, he gets his own ‘four years later...’ explanation wrong. The opening scene where Shoshanna runs away is set in 1941, and the scene where she is running a cinema is set in 1944. RELATED: 15 Most Memorable Quotes From Inglourious Basterds Three years.

When Hans Landa strangles Bridget Von Hammersmark to death in the cinema, we are fully shown the depth of his twisted mind. In fact, he is so evil that he manages to kill her twice. When she falls to the floor, we see her arms fly outwards and hit the floor, but when the shot changes, we see basically the exact same thing happen again.
When we first meet Hugo Stiglitz, a newspaper is featured prominently in the scene. From a distance, it is clear that there are two rows of six people lined up in the picture. When we see it again, there are seven. This seems like a very avoidable problem- why not just actually print just one newspaper and use it every time the scene is being shot?
In the film’s very final scene, we see Hans Landa getting his comeuppance. Rather being heralded as a savior as he desired, he was branded with a swastika right in the middle of his forehead.

Pay close attention to the film’s climactic scene. When the fire has begun and the Basterds are spraying bullets into the crowd, one particular extra is hit in the back and falls forward to die. I would assume that the very last thing you think about upon your demise is keeping your hat on your head, but if you look closely, her immediate reaction ...
During her final scene, we see that Shoshanna’s hair is down as she is preparing to put on the reel with her message in it. The shot changes and her hair is pinned back, before returning to being down, before returning to being pinned back. This suggests that these two alternate angles for this scene weren’t shot consecutively, because if they were...
There are two specific moments in Inglourious Basterds where dead people just aren’t able to stay dead. The first comes when Hicox very clearly moves his eyes while Landa is looking at his body, and the second comes when Landa is looking at Stiglitz’s body.

Just before the scene in which the Basterds unleash their firepower into the audience below, Donny and Omar had killed Hitler and Goebbels without so much as a spec of blood landing on them. When the start to shoot the people who are below them, Donny’s shirt gets covered in more and more blood over a short time. This is impossible, because everyon...
For some reason, one of the most engaging and interesting scenes in the entire film comes when Landa orders apple strudel in a restaurant. When the server brings over his espresso, it remains on his tray, but when the angle of the shot changes, the espresso seems to have jumped down onto the table without anyone putting it there.
