It should only be 'Inglorious', without U in the middle. Enu should be 10.
Deleteit spells "inglourious" in movie title.
DeleteThanks Suresh 👍
DeleteYes, it's intentionally misspelled apparently.
DeleteRef:
"When asked for an explanation of the film's title's spelling during a news conference at the Cannes Film Festival, Tarantino said, "I'm never going to explain that".When pushed on it, Tarantino would not explain the first u in Inglourious, but said, "The Basterds? That's just the way you say it: Basterds." Tarantino later stated in an interview that the misspelled title is "a Basquiat-esque touch." He further commented on Late Show with David Letterman that Inglourious Basterds is a "Quentin Tarantino spelling."
