  Inside a jail cell, two German soldiers are shot by machine guns. Another German is shot offscreen. One has his throat slit. Quick editing and no blood.

  Several German soldiers are shot up inside a car by machine guns, holes appear in the windshield.

  A dead German soldier is scalped in the background. But not nearly as graphic as it sounds.

  A man is shot multiple times, with blood spray.

  A majority of the movie doesn't contain violence, but when the violence happens it is a little bloody.

  Strong violence occasionally.

  There is some war violence, with guns and knives. It's not as unflinching and disturbing as something like Saving Private Ryan or Schindler's List; the violence has a sense of irony and comedy. As a result, it's not too bloody or over the top.

  An entire Jewish family is implied to be shot.

  Several dead men are scalped by other men wielding large knives. These images are short and in the background of a dialogue scene.

  A man beats a German soldier to death with a baseball bat. We see this from a distance, and there is quick editing. Afterwards, another German soldier is fatally shot in the back while trying to escape.

  Landa is an extremely smart and unnerving character.

  There is war violence in the film, but not over the top.

  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.
