Tavern scene
For those who have seen it, does anyone else get a "Where Eagles Dare" vibe in the pub scene? With the Gestapo officer thinking something is suspicious.
shareWhile I haven't seen "Where Eagles Dare", I know Tarantino is well known for lifting scenes/ideas from other films, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if he got inspiration from that movie.
If you have a YouTube link, I'd love to check it out.
I found this, which is a heavily edited composite of this general part of the film. Starting at around the 6:30 minute mark up till the 11 minute mark is the part that reminds me of it. Keep in mind, it is heavily edited down of the entire scene and for some reason skips a bit, but is a rough overview.

I appreciate the clip! I know you said it was heavily edited, and I have no idea why anyone would do that, but the only resemblance I could see was the part where they ordered the schnapps. Maybe I'm not observant as you, I'm not sure. Both seemed like interesting scenes for sure though. Hopefully someone else can chime in who is familiar with both films.
shareYea, it was very minor, but that was one of the first things I thought of when the Gestapo officer came over to join the group for the card game. Just knew something bad was going to happen. (I just saw the film for the first time 2 days ago, and love it!) It's probably just coincidence, but would be curious to see if Tarantino saw Where Eagles Dare. It's a great kinda whodunnit film with a very mysterious, eerie atmosphere. Great to watch on a winter's night!
