Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, star of the original "Inglorious Bastards," says that his film is better than the 2009 version directed by Quentin Tarantino. He criticizes Tarantino's movie for its mixture of "sensitivity and comedy," arguing that war movies should be serious. He also mentions the intense stunts he performed, such as jumping from a bridge onto a moving train. Notably, Williamson discusses the camaraderie among black actors in the '80s, including Jim Brown, Jim Kelly, and Richard Roundtree. He expresses pride in being able to assemble these casts, declaring that their films allowed them to "kick butt." Williamson says he was fortunate to be able to put these productions together and feels that it was his pleasure to work with these actors. They reunited later in the film "Original Gangsters."
