What critics compared Battle Cry to
Tarantino's new World War II movie, "Inglourious Basterds," brings with it the usual avalanche of insider film-geek references: A character named Aldo Raine is a reference to the late Aldo Ray, star of the 1955 war movie "Battle Cry"; the name of another character — Hugo Stiglitz — refers to a Mexican horror-film star.
Tarantino visits his storehouse of shallow cleverness by naming Pitt's character Aldo Raines -- an allusion to actor Aldo Ray, who was a solid actor in such films as Battle Cry (1955) and The Naked and the Dead (1958).
