20 Things You Somehow Missed In Inglourious Basterds

4. Brad Pitt Does A Marlon Brando Impression During The Premiere

One of the film's most hilarious moments sees the Basterds assuming their various guises in order to infiltrate the cinema where the Nazi high command will meet their fiery end.

Aldo awkwardly pretends to be an Italian stuntman named Enzo Gorlami, and in an apparent attempt to "look Italian," also pushes his jaw out in a bizarre and unnatural way.

Brad Pitt apparently took inspiration from Marlon Brando's performance as Don Corleone in The Godfather, tensing his face and jutting out his jaw in order to approximate the same facial expressions.

It's an especially amusing revelation for a period-set film, given that The Godfather wouldn't even exist for another three decades at the time of Inglourious Basterds' World War II setting.
