* The Cinema Massacre. Yes, it happens to [[AssholeVictim Nazis]], but it's still horrific: you're in a film theater, when suddenly the movie changes to a woman declaring you are going to die. You rush out of your chair, but the doors are locked, so you either get shot from above, suffocate/burn thanks to the fire, or perish in the explosion, amongst hundreds of your peers.

** Shosanna manages to escape out the cellar window, covered in dirt and sobbing in anguish and terror. Landa elects not to pursue her but sadistically calls out "''Au revoir'', Shosanna!" as she runs for her life.

* Landa killing Bridget von Hammersmark. He maintains his FauxAffablyEvil facade right up until he lunges across the room to choke the life out of her. There's no DiscretionShot either. We're treated to close-ups of her face as she's strangled to death. (Even more disturbingly, that's ''Tarantino himself'' choking her in the close-up!) To add insult to injury, Landa then takes credit for her actions as an Allied mole. Those who worked with her will remember that she was the true mastermind behind Operation Kino, but history will reward the Nazi war criminal who murdered her for her deeds. That is, if Landa manages to get away with it. Raine seems to have other ideas …
