Mean Machine (1973) [Movie] Douban IMDb TMDB WikiData
Ricco
other title: Ricco the Mean Machine (美国,发行DVD) / 霹雳杀手
Even amongst exploitation junkies "Ricco, the Mean Machine" doesn't get a lot of attention and that's a shame because it's a very sadistic, effective and all around excellent Italian Crime movie with lots of nudity. Ricco (Christopher Mitchum) is out to get his revenge on the crime lord that killed his father with the help of the very sexy Rosa (Melisa Longo). He takes each of Vito's (Arthur Kennedy) men down one by one, bringing him closer and closer to his prize.
What sets "Ricco" apart from so many other films of its ilk is just how violent it is. Director Tulio Demicheli refuses to hold back or play nice as the violence just keeps coming down. This establishes a very bleak and nihilist tone that fit this revenge movie like a glove. "Ricco" even features acid baths! In addition the characters are well drawn out. Ricco and Rosa remain likable even as they lay more and more sadistic punishments out on the syndicate. The script is pretty well laid out as well and he acting is pretty solid. In addition his movie also features plenty of tasty nudity courtesy of both Melisa Longo AND Barbara Bouchet. How can you beat that?

La polizia ha le mani legate
director: 卢恰诺·埃尔科利 actor: 克劳迪奥·卡西内利 / Arthur Kennedy
other title: La polizia ha le mani legate / The Police Can't Move
Shot in a beautiful techniscope and released in France with the quite bizarre title "BOITE À FILLETTES" on the print (VHS cover gives LA POLICE A LES MAINS LIEES as box title !) though there is no virgin nymph involved by the plot whatsoever, it is a rare and interesting testimony of the political situation in Italy near the 75's. Atmosphere is quite dense and heavy, since it tells the story of a judge (Athur Kennedy) and a Police officer (Claudio Cassinelli) wandering between "Red Brigade" and "Black Section" of Secret Services on the other wings... the bombing sequence is very well-made and the Milano outdoors takes are, as usual in Italian thriller of that time and genre, very realistic. Very pessimistic and dark movie since Franco Fabrizzi dies, then Arthur Kennedy is said by end titles to be soon murdered (good side) and all the bad ones too are dying except their undercover (not for the spectator)leaders.
