0:05.0

In Return of the Jedi, it's implied that the Ewok's feast on human flesh when they were going to cook the gang on Spitz.

At the end of the movie, there's certainly more than enough stormtrooper filets to go around.

Saving Private Ryan, in the beginning when they're clearing out the trenches and bunkers after taking the beach,

0:23.0

two German soldiers come out with their hands up and yelling, seemingly trying to surrender. They're both

0:28.2

shot dead and the American soldiers says they were saying, look, I washed for supper. It was actually

In Inglorious Bastards, the burning of the cinema at the end parallels the actual church burning
