12 Times Adolf Hitler Has Been Totally Owned In Fiction
10. Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds
We know what you're thinking: "Sure, punching Hitler is all well and good, but why not just shoot the git?" We're way ahead of you. Case in point: Inglorious Basterds, by Quentin Tarantino, a man whose movies almost make it a point to see at least one person riddled with bullets by the film's end. And in this particular case, what with the movie being all about a fictitious alternate history in which there are two plots to put one between Adolf's eyes... well, spoiler alert (despite the film being five years old now), but no prizes for guessing how this one ends. Of course, being Tarantino, you know that it's not going to be something as simple as a quiet pop of a silenced pistol, oh no. Hitler gets the full Abe Lincoln treatment, being shot in a theater, albeit many, many times, and after the place has already been set ablaze with dozens of others trapped inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQncV8eYOBI These basterds may be inglourious, but the way they brought an end to the Third Reich was anything but.
