Inglorious Bastards (1978)
I just gave this a watch and am hesitant to praise it. Often it seems the merit of older B-movies is given de facto upon rediscovery by some director/writer/producer. Bullshit. This was a turd of a flick with multiple redemption interventions. Check it out on Netflix but I find it disconcerting that remakes lend credit to their predecessors. Sure, the concept is there. Meanwhile ideas are a dime a dozen, it’s the execution that matters.
Also, I think the Rob Downey Jr. character in Tropic Thunder (kirk lazarus) was inspired by the Fred Williamson in Inglorious Bastards c.1978
