BASTARDS with an 'A'!


The Original INGLORIOUS BASTARDS
Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday at the Alamo Ritz
Advance tickets available here

Megarare screening of a new 35mm print!

"Whatever THE DIRTY DOZEN did," screamed the ads, "they do it dirtier!" THE DIRTY DOZEN may have spawned several dozen imitators, but few were as much fun (or as outright looney) as this glorious action epic. One of the last of the numerous Italian WWII films, BASTARDS doesn't really care about being anything other than big entertainment, and Castellari and crew prove that they knew how to deliver as well as any big Hollywood production of the era. Also known as DEADLY MISSION and G.I. BRO, the film stars Bo Svenson and Fred Williamson as inmates on their way to the stockade when their convoy is hit by Nazi fire, setting them and the other prisoners free but also putting them behind enemy lines. They end up back in service to help execute a deadly secret mission to kill a lot of Nazis. A hell of a lot of Nazis. Of course, there's another movie with a similar title that's opening at the Alamo on August 22, but no doubt the people behind that one would encourage you to see this one first and this is a rare opportunity to see it in a BEAUTIFUL NEW 35mm PRINT courtesy of our friends at Severin Films.
