Sweet...and shitty?

Thankfully their captivity doesn’t last as a ex-pat scoundrel with a heart of gold sticks his neck out for the girls and helps them escape and evade capture. Instead of taking the opportunity to leave, the determined journalist decides to remain behind and bring the pain in order to find out whether her daughter is dead or alive and where she’s located at!
You’d think an action film featuring Nancy Allen (Robocop 1-3) as the machine gun toting heroine with cojones of steel and Martin Landau as the splayfooted villain might end up being nothing more than a shitty 80′s cheesefest Continue reading »

“Macho, macho man! I want to be a macho man!”
The ‘Poliziottesco’ genre couldn’t have asked for a more fitting song. With big tough men, often sporting gloriously oversized mustaches and even bigger guns, strut around most major Italian cities making their own laws and following their own rules. It’s a genre that contains more immorality than a whorehouse in Mexico, and that’s just the Police force!
Tough guys like Franco Nero, Maurizio Merli and Fabio Testi made a killing off of these types of characters. It’s not hard to see why this genre was so big in Italy in the 70’s: what with all the Red Brigades blowing shit up and political corruption causing many a headache. The ‘every-day man Continue reading »
