Yes, we spelled that title correctly. We’re talking Enzo G. Castellari‘s 1978 flick that only resembles Quentin Tarantino’s questionable new movie in terms of its World War II setting and a couple words in the title.
How does The Inglorious Bastards qualify as a freak? To start, its Italian title is Quel maledetto treno blindato (“That damned armored train”), and to boot it’s an Italian-directed genre picture starring Fred Williamson. That should be enough to guarantee something, if only pulpy fun, leaps of logic and corny post-sync dialogue.
Decide for yourself August 30-September 1, when that damned train plays on a double bill with The Dirty Dozen at the New Beverly in Los Angeles.
