This weekend the unique auteur Quentin Tarantino finally releases Inglourious Basterds, a World War II film he’s been working on for over a decade.  I’ve seen the film and it’s “glourious,” but more when we get a proper review up.

Brad Pitt hilariously plays Lt. Aldo Raine, a Nazi-killing soldier known to the S.S. as “The Apache” for scalping his victims.  Every time the Basterds leader is on screen the film is just plain awesome.

One of the best things about Raine is a wide scar across his neck, presumably from surviving a lynching with only a serious case of rope burn.  It’s never mentioned in the story, but you have to wonder if the attack left his head a little twisted, especially when he whips out his giant hunting knife.  This Basterd is fond of “giving you something you can’t take off” by carving a swastika into the forehead of his enemies.

In honor of Aldo’s defining necklace and the scars he leaves behind, I wanted to take a look at a few other bad ass movie scars.  The problem is I started to put a sweet list together and found too many great ones, so I combined them into similar types.  It ends up being way more than six actual scars, so enjoy plenty of bonus material.
