NAZI TAVERN GUNFIGHT - INGLORIOUS BASTERDS - QUENTIN TARANTINO - HICOX GIVES HIMSELF AWAY

From the Academy Award winning film, Inglorious Basterds. This is the tavern scene in which British Intel officer Hicox is to rendezvous with German spy, von Hammersmark. They are playing a game of guess the card when Gestapo Major Hellstrom decides to have a seat in the group. Hellstrom becomes suspicious of Hicox’s accent and mannerisms. Hicox then asks Hellstrom to leave, but before doing so he orders a round of drinks for the group. Hellstrom notices that Hicox makes a strange hand gesture that gives away his true nationality and that Hammersmark is covering for him. Tensions reach a boiling point as Hicox and Hellstrom are pointing their guns at the other’s groins. A gunfight erupts and everyone is killed except German Seargant Wilhelm.
