Video: Eli Roth Talks Inglourious Basterds

Yesterday at the roundtable for Quentin Tarantino’s war epic Inglourious Basterds, Eli Roth said it would be fine if we Flipped him (recorded video of him via “flip camera” – I’m trying to create a new word for it). He sat down to the table ready to not only answer our questions but entertain us with a number of great stories from the set. He talked about nearly being killed on set by filming when a fire on set got out of control, Tarantino’s strict “no cell phone, no chair village” policy, having to become “The Bear Jew” and a whole lot more.

Check out three videos below…
