    Fans think Harry Kane was paying homage to Quentin Tarantino after scoring a hat-trick for Bayern Munich in Der Klassiker on Saturday.<\/p>\n

    The England skipper helped put Dortmund to the sword as Thomas Tuchel's side ran out 4-0 winners to keep pace with Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga. With 15 goals in 10 league games so far, Kane appears right at home in Germany – just as Michael Fassbender's character, Lieutenant Archie Hicox, did (briefly) in Tarantino's 2009 classic Inglorious Basterds.<\/p>\n

    But unlike, Lieutenant Hicox, Kane was savvy enough to learn German hand gestures, and pulled one out to celebrate his trio of goals at the Westfalenstadion.<\/p>\n

    For anyone who hasn't the film, Hicox is an undercover British commando posing as a German officer in Nazi-occupied France during the Second World War. While drinking in a tavern, his cover gets blown after he signals for three glasses by raising his index, middle and ring fingers (Germans raise their middle finger, index finger and thumb).<\/p>\n

    After Kane was seen using the German version of the gesture, one fan wrote on X: "Bro passed the Inglourious Basterds test." Another said: "Already figured out how to do a three with his fingers in German I see," while a fourth joked: "Treason!"<\/p>\n

    How many goals will Harry Kane score this season? Let us know in the comments section below.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

    Much like Adolf Hitler and his cronies at the end of Inglorious Basterds, Kane is on fire at the moment. The ex-Tottenham man has taken to German football like a duck to water and fans think he's in with a chance of beating Robert Lewandowski's bonkers record of 41 Bundesliga goals in a single season.<\/p>\n

    He's currently averaging 1.5 goals per game in the league, and with 24 matches left to play he'll end up with over 50 if he continues at his current rate.<\/p>\n
