Viewing Notes

Strode and Silva as a couple of New York mafioso henchmen sent over to make an example out of a pimp who’s been set up as the fall guy for the Milanese mob who double crossed the New York mafia makes for a good time! There’s an amazing car/foot/car/foot chase scene in this too. Obviously influenced in style by THE FRENCH CONNECTION with a great score to boot.
