Inglourious Basterds
The middle rounds aren't kind to Inglourious Basterds. But put it in a final, and it becomes one of the tougher matchups on the platform. At 52% overall, it's deceptive. Tarantino's audacious rewrite of history, powered by Christoph Waltz's career-defining performance. The opening scene alone gives it more tension than most films manage in two hours. At 1.4s average, voters make up their minds quickly — a gut preference rather than a weighed comparison.
Synopsis
In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds, lead by Lt. Aldo Raine soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers.
The semifinals at 42% are where casual support gets tested — and mostly fails. But the final at 60% is a different story: the voters still choosing Inglourious Basterds at that stage are the ones who mean it.
Kill Bill: Vol. 2 is the easy matchup at 100%. Reservoir Dogs is the kryptonite at 33%. The gap between best and worst opponent says a lot about what Inglourious Basterds can and can't handle.
Best of Tarantino: Inglourious Basterds clears Django Unchained in the opening round and dispatches Kill Bill: Vol. 2 at 100% in the final. A convincing start-to-finish run.
