10 Things You Didn't Know About Inglourious Basterds
2. Enzo Girolami Is A Real Person
It seems Tarantino has a growing penchant for naming his films after previously existing cinema productions. Just like Django Unchained after it (minus the Unchained part), Inglourious Basterds actually shares its name with another film that has an almost identical title. Enzo Girolami, the name that Brad Pitt's character fabricates in Tarantino's film to pass himself off as Italian, is actually the real-life name of an Italian director and the man behind The Inglourious Bastards. No, that one isn't a typo: Girolami's film actually spelt Bastards correctly, and while the two films share little in terms of their narrative other than both being set during World War II, Tarantino paid homage to Girolami by naming Pitt's Italian persona after him. Not only that, but the real Girolami actually has his own cameo in the film, appearing as one of the many SS officers that attend the French premier of Nation's Pride at the end of the film.
