As in Aldo Ray? Looks like a remake of the old biker gang in Vietnam film The Losers! I think Mr Tarantino is running out of ideas to crib. Brad Pitt’s character name is “Aldo Raine?” As in Aldo Ray?

Apparently, Italians are better at English spelling. Maybe they don't own they rights to the title? Could also be a wordplay that you only understand after watching the movie. In this case: clever marketing!

We want historical accuracy! is it just me or is “inglourious” misspelled? that’s weird…
