Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
Starring: Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Mike Myers, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth, Melanie Laurent
Other mistake: At the very beginning, the first cut to Mr Lapadite he has an axe in his hand, ready to strike (and we heard two strike sounds before), but there is no log to cut. (00:03:17)
Suggested correction: He is cutting the stump. We see him actively cut it too, not only ready to strike.
Factual error: Near the end, when Lt. Raine is being interrogated by Col. Landa, there is a phone on the table with a coiled phone cord. Coiled phone cords were not used until the late 1950s.
Lt. Aldo Raine: The German will be sickened by us, the German will talk about us, and the German will fear us.
Trivia: Denis Menochet plays Lea Seydoux's father in this movie, even though in real life he is only nine years older than Seydoux.
Question: In the scenes leading up to the shoot-out in the bar, the German Major says that the Captain just gave himself away. I am assuming that he is referring to the fact that the Captain held up three fingers when asking for only three glasses. I don't see how this is a give-away. Can someone please explain?
Chosen answer: It is explained shortly afterwards that a real German would hold up his thumb, index and middle fingers to indicate three. Since, the major already suspects the Captain of being a spy, holding up his index, middle and ring fingers to indicate three confirms this.
