As far as Inglourious Basterds goes, it's not really a remake of the italian war flick. The original Enzo G. Castellari film, Inglorious Bastards was basically just The Dirty Dozen, only Italian and more action packed. Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (notice the different spelling) is similar to the original IB, but just in the sense of a rag-tag group of convict-soldiers going into Nazi-occupied France to take out the trash.
