That&#8217;s right, you heard me, Macaroni Combat, not <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spaghetti-western.net\">Spaghetti Western<\/a>. Well actually, you should probably dive in there as well, as Inglourious Basterds is a homage to both (and more). The reason I&#8217;m writing this is, that Severin Ent. in the US has just released two centerpiece movies by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grindhousedatabase.com\/index.php\/Enzo_G._Castellari\">Enzo Castellari<\/a> on BluRay (and DVD), which are direct influences on<strong> Inglourious Basterds<\/strong>.
