Viewing Notes
Another Castellari Italian crime movie from the ‘70s. I’m kind of addicted to these things. Even though this was dubbed on NWI, it’s still worth a watch, especially for the great rollover car scene near the beginning of the movie.
There’s some pretty brutal rape scenes as the movie progresses, and at times I found myself wondering what the point of some of the random violence was, but it does all come back around full circle by the end, leading to a minorly epic final battle.
Not Castellari’s best, but definitely worth a watch.
