I wonder how many people knew that the French made a wonderful ripoff of Mario Bava's |
|
DIABOLIK, only with a female in the lead role (and beautiful redhead Daniele Gaubert does a |
|
hell of a job filling out that costume!). A sixties fan's wetdream as go-go dancing, cheesy rock |

government into stealing some important papers and who then plan on double crossing her at |
|
the end which of course turns out to be a big mistake |

|
the very end with images that will stay with you for a long time! |

|
socialite (Maud Adams) to find out who kidnapped and murdered her father. He discovers who |
|

|
as the brutal ex-cop who acts like sadist to find the answers to his questions. The music is |

|

Jean Paul Belmondo plays a tough as shit cop who shoots first or runs you over with his bullet- |
|
proof Shelby GT before he reads you your rights. He's on the track of drug czar Henry Silva. |

|
a small African nation. Before he can carry out the hit he is captured and put in prison. Two |
|
years later he escapes and still plans on carrying out the job. Too bad his government has now |
|
changed their mind and decided the President is more valuable alive than dead. Great score by |
|
An epic crime film (it runs 145 minutes) that marked the debut of director Giuseppe Tornatore |
|
(CINEMA PARADISO). Ben Gazzara plays The Professor, a man sent to prison for killing |
|
someone who copped a feel of his sister. Over time, he begins to build a power base that soon |
|
builds to the point where he's ready to replace the old guard. Needless to say, they don't plan |
|
to go without a fight. One of the best crime/mafia films ever with an outstanding score by |
|
Maurizio Merli, Francisco Rabal in english with japanese subs, letterboxed |
|
Incredible violent crime film by the superstar lineup of actor Maurizio Merli and director Stelvio |
|
Massi. Plus, it is presented in abeautiful widescreen transfer. Merli plays his usual tough guy |
|
cop who shoots maims and kills first before reading crooks their rights. He comes out of |
|
retirement to put away slime bags who are trying to rule the city. A real bad idea. |
|
|

|
|
In English with Greek subtitles. Lino Ventura stars as the title character, a tough as shit guy |
|
who gets into all types of scrapes and adventures. His lover is played by Claudia Cardinale and |
|
she may be even tougher than him! Jose Giovanni stars and Ennio Morricone contributes one |
|
of his better scores. The copy has some drop out problems early on. |

|
|
A man (Jean-Louis Trintignant) escapes from an insane asylum and ends up hiding out with a |

|
discovered a secret so horrible, the government will expend any effort to have him and anyone |
|
he meets, killed. Now, is he telling the truth or is he just one paranoid motherfucker (pardon |

my French!). Ennio Morricone provides the score and Robert Enrico directs. An excellent film, |
|
letterboxed and in english for the first time. |
|
Ben Gazzara, Silvia Monti, Jess Hahn, Malissa Longoin english with japanese subs
|
|
This Italian crime film was released in a very crappy looking, pan and scan print. Here is a |
|
brilliant looking wide-screen print. Ben Gazzara plays a mafia boss who is at war with those in |
|
the drug trade. Silvia Monti, Jess hahn, Malissa Longo and Luciano Rossi co-star. |
|
Michele Constatine, Senta Berger in english with dutch subs
|
|
I love it when Europeans come to America to make a film (Socorro, NM) because they have a |
|
way of making it look off kilter and weird. A ruthless bank robber stashes his loot in an |
|
abandoned mine and then passes out in the desert. He's rescued by a couple (Michel |
|
Constatine and Senta Berger) who want the diamonds he has stolen. Things get even more |
|
complicated when we learn there are some thugs after the couple who want to see them dead. |
|
Senta Berger looks great as usual and the print is letterboxed. |
|
Barbara Bouchet in english with greek subs
|
|
Rare mixture of crime film and psychedelic Head film! An Italian crime boss wants to take over |

the drug trade while his mistress (Barbara Bouchet) may end up double crossing him to the |
|
police. rare English version, this is a marvelously weird thriller. |
|
Terence Hillin english withgreek subs
|
|
Letterboxed print. Terence Hill plays a tough criminal who lives in the hills of Sicily. He kidnaps |
|
rich family members and demands a high ransom for their safe return. This is Carlo Lizzani's |
|
take on the Salvatore Giuliano legend and it's a revelation to see Hill play such a grimy part. |
|
|

|
|
This was released here as RIPPED OFF and was cut by 15 minutes. Here's the uncut version |
|

|
Richard Burton, Ian McShane, Fiona Lewis widescreen print

Sleazy and violent crime film from England, starring Richard Burton as a homosexual Mommy's |
|

|
sexual lover. Burton is planning a robbery while his nemesis, a police Inspector (Nigel |
|
Davenport) is trying to figure out what the Hell he's up to. Once again, the Brits give the |
|
Italians a run for their money in the Crime film sweepstakes. Fiona Lewis supplies the T&A. |
|
Here's another film by the director of STREET KILLERS, Sergio Grieco. Antonio Sabato plays a |
|
cop whose city is under siege by a gang of rapists and thugs. They scar a woman's face with |
|
barbed wire and then rape her. They end up hooking a girl on drugs and then rape her at their |
|
conveniance. A mix of DIRTY HARRY and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. |

film. Robert Hoffman stars as Luthring, a small time hood who graduates to the big time, killing |
|
anyone who gets in his way. Lisa Gastoni is his girlfriend and Gian Maria Volonte plays a |
|
detective on Hoffman's tail. Great score by Morricone |
|
Brett Halsey, Margaret Lee in english with korean subs
|
|
Note that for the first 3 minutes, there is a slight shake in the picture. Walter(Brett Halsey)'s |
|
girlfriend has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Every lead he follows, sends him |
|
further into the criminal underground. Margaret Lee co-stars as Halsey's friend and hopeful |
|
|
Director Carlo Lizzani proves that Bud Spencer can act in this downbeat and gritty crime film. |
|
Spencer is wrongly accused of murder and is sent to prison. He waits and waits and when it's |
|
obvious no one will help him, he escapes and knocks off the ones for responsible for his situation |
|
Enzo Castellari directs Bud Spencer and Philip Michael Thomas (Miami Vice) as two detectives |
