Certification
Sex & Nudity
-
- One character kisses another (incredibly brief).
- Guns are pointed to the testicles.
- Brief but very non graphic sex scene between Goebbels and his 'translator'. The scene contains intense thrusting and screaming for around 4 seconds. There is no nudity. This moment happens at 49:35 in the film.
- One incredibly brief and easy to miss line from Brad Pitt about "pecker sucking." This occurs at 2 hours and 28 minutes into the film.
Violence & Gore
-
- Inside a jail cell, two German soldiers are shot by machine guns with blood spurts. Another German is shot and blown offscreen. One has his throat slit, we see his neck open and lots of blood spilling out.
- Several German soldiers are shot up inside a car by machine guns, blood splatters all over the windshield.
- A dead German soldier is scalped, shown in full detail.
- The most Deaths in any Tarantino movie.
- The violence in this movie is graphic, and very gruesome.
- Film per tutti.
- All the violence is very frequent and horrific. When it appears, it's extremely intense, detailed and disturbing. Examples include throat slittings, scalpings, gunshots and other incredibly gruesome moments. Unlike the rest of Tarantino's films, this film has unflinchingly graphic and realistic violence, with no exaggerated blood spurts and it's all portrayed seriously.
- An entire Jewish family is shot while hiding under the floor boards. We don't see their bodies. A Jewish girl survives and runs away covered in blood and crying.
- Several dead men are scalped by other men wielding large knives. These images are short, but graphic in detail as we see bloody flesh and muscle being brutally cut off from their scalps.
- A man beats a German soldier to death by bashing his head in repeatedly with a baseball bat until his head gorily and very graphically explodes. Although we see this from a distance, it is extremely graphic and gruesome. Afterwards, another German soldier is fatally shot in the back while trying to escape.
- There is a brief scene where a German man is shown being mercilessly whipped. His back is very bloody. In an earlier flashback, the same man is seen brutally murdering various SS officers by stabbing them to death, strangling them with a wire, and suffocating them. Extremely graphic and bloody.
- A shootout occurs in a bar. Two men are shot at point blank range in the groin, blood spurts are visible. Many people die afterwards from gunshots and stabbings in this scene. Very bloody and fairly intense.
- A woman is shot in the leg, but survives. However, she is later interrogated by another man inserting his finger into the bloody bullet hole on her leg. There is lots of blood in this scene.
- A woman shoots a man in the back several times. The man then shoots her in the abdomen in return, and we see lots and lots of blood graphically spurt out of her body and some is thrown onto the camera lens. Both end up being dead with dozens of extremely bloody bullet holes in their bodies, and there are lots of blood pooling on the floor. A ludicrously bloody and disturbing scene.
Profanity
-
- 20 uses of the F-word. 16 spoken in English. 4 written in subtitles.
- Moderate profanity throughout
- Throughout the film, the racial slur "N*gro" is used in multiple different languages (however, they are subtitled)
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Drinking and smoking throughout. Tobacco use indicates the time period. One scene in a bar where characters are drunk.
- A man snorts a white powder from a tin.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- There is lots of brutal violence throughout the film, and while some of it is over-the-top, all of it is extremely realistic as mentioned before.
- Colonel Landa may be funny or frightening for some, depending on the viewer. The atitudes taken by the Basterds (like scalping or the swastika in the forehead) can be seen as intense and horrible, but it has a comedic tone.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- Landa violently strangles Bridget to death. Despite the lack of blood, this is extremely disturbing and graphic. Lasts about a minute.
- At the end of the film, Aldo shoots a German radio operator in front of him. Afterward a Jewish man scalps the dead German.
- A character carves swastika's into German soldier's heads.
- A large amount of German's are burned to death and exploded in a movie theater. Two Jewish men use machine guns and shoot the German's as they are trapped in the burning movie theater one of them aims at Hitler and shoots him in the face. Then the theater explodes killing everyone inside.
- Dozens of people are trapped in a burning building and die from smoke inhalation, burning and being shot at with multiple blood spurts. Hitler is brutally gunned down until his face is destroyed. Very graphic. At the end, two Jewish men with dynamite tied to their legs explode, along with the whole building and everyone else inside.
- A man is shot and killed, then gets scalped post-mortem. We see the bloody top of the man's skull. Later, Aldo cuts a deep swastika into the forehead of Hans Landa, who screams in utterly excruciating agony, while we see a huge amount of blood seen streaming down from his forehead. This scene is extremely disturbing and graphic.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- In the very last scene of the film, Lt. Aldo Raine carves a swastika in Colonel Landa's forehead as punishment for his crimes. We see Raine carving it in with his knife, as well as hear Landa screaming in pure agony. This is easily the most disturbing scene in the film, but has a slight comedic edge to it.
- Near the end of the film, the cinema erupts in flames with people inside.
- Hitler being brutally shot, while comedic, might be pretty intense and disturbing for some viewers.
