^^ shit, never even heard of that

I found 2 new ones



This is actually a pretty famous russian effort from the late 70s, I saw it a bunch of times when I was little and completely forgot about it until I found it on a used rack in Kim's. The subject matter is pretty different, I can't actually think of another modern day pirate movie. Decent amount of action, some random karate, a tiny bit of sleaze, sticks to the pirate theme - not bad at all.



Early (1937) french noir which inspired an american remake the year after its release (first instance of hollywood remaking a european hit?) and 5 years later inspired Casablanca. Jean Gabin is excellent as usual as a super smooth gangster hiding out in the Casbah. Like Casablanca it's more of a romantic drama than a crime thriller, but there's enough scheming and exotic locations to keep it from being vaginafied on any level. Highly recommended

isn't pepe le moko a criterion?

it is but I had no idea it existed until a week ago, AND i've never seen it mentioned in any discussion on french crime/noir on any forum i frequent

i just put up that poster cause i liked it more than than their cover

talk to me about this one.

need to know what other RARO releases i should get my hands on...!!!

I didn't really like that one, definitely a lesser effort compared to Lenzi's other work in the genre. I thought it dragged in the middle. The reviews at large are generally positive though, so you might want to consider a second opinion

I should be able to give the second opinion since I own the movie BUT I've never seen it WHOPS

stormy is fucking up the thread's chi with his laziness

hey stormy...hahaha. after digging up the dvdaf thread, i ran thru your collection and fournd that. why dont you do me a favor and watch it so i can get that second opinion...haaha

I would but it's back in america with most of my shit and I won't be back there for another week or so

sorry!

there's a promising new source for bootlegs (well, only 1 bootleg so far)

http://www.geocities.com/roegcamel/Skowhee_page.html

They have an english friendly remastered (from the german dvd i think) print of Lenzi's Free Hand For a Tough Cop (Milian + Henry Silva). I've heard about this one for ages, really psyched to pick it up...

However, I would wait a bit before ordering because it looks like they're gonna have another Lenzi joint in good condition soon - From Corleone To Brooklyn. I've seen a very shitty version of it and even that impressed the living crap out of me, been dying for a good copy

awesome...more and more of these titles need to become available.

just finished watching Silva in THE BOSS...

prolly the greatest polizei flick yet for me. I freakin loved it. Silva bitch slappin his hoe and tellin her to shut her mouth was just pure class A movie magic. now i wanna rewatch Ghost Dog. I kind of saw Jarmushes take on Silvas character in that movie. Now all I got to do is watch Manhunt. I hope ive seen this trilogy in order. then again, it sounds like it doesn't really matter!!!

they're not connected in any way, they just get less cerebral and more violent as they go on

this euro-crime/giallo flick is decent. a lot of WTF moments and a pretty cool car escape scene.

also watched VIOLENT NAPLES, and ROME ARMED TO THE TEETH...this Merli guy has the vigilante cop thing down pat. + Milian kills it in RATHT. def. liken LENZI alot

next in que to watch...FEAR IN THE CITY
THE CYNIC, THE RAT, AND THE FIST

fear in the city is fun, lots of action

cynic/fist is one of my faves from lenzi

check this out, a decent resource for reviews and whatnot, they even got tshirts http://www.lovelockandload.net/forum/index.php

awesome. found this over at the dvdmaniac site...!!!

hey! you put me on to it. besides, thos dudes over there know there shit.

and the next tourist to ask you directions just might be me.!!!

watched it last night. no plot to speak of, just 90 mins of nonstop asswhoopings and car chases. widescreen, restored and dubbed too, fuckin a

def recommended

silva is slowing edging out nero and merli for top euro-action badass status in my book

Whoa, a movied called Violent Cops starring Henry Silva? How have I not heard of this before?


and silva is DEF more badass than Nero

I mean Nero's great and cool as hell but Silva is way more badass

the fact the he looks like skeltor always works in silva's favor

i didn't know about this one either, i got it as a surprise bonus from some dude who was sending me Cry of the Prostitute. i ended up liking this one more actually

whos selling violent police...? i need to know!

thread is awesome, don't know how i missed it before.

Just ordered Ricco the Mean Machine on Amazon, really want to get Il Boss, anyone know where I can find it for a reasonable price?

^^ ricco was meh...IL BOSS is the tops!!!

rico is not meh by any means

il boss might be a little tricky, the only good dvd i know of is not Reg1 so you need an all region dvd player. it's also kinda hard to find, xploited doesn't have it in stock anymore and I don't know of other sites that do. I suggest trying torrents or ebay

darkwing as far as i know nobody is actually selling violent police, i got it in a trade with a member of dvd maniacs forum

this looks pretty sweet, a documentary about eurocrime with a list of interviews that makes my dick hard http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1225633/

alright what the fuck


that director is a young better looking version of us


and he's making this


and he already made some other movie that looks like it was influenced by euro crime


fuck this guy

pfft, not younger and def not better looking that me

he looks like an auxillary douchebag jock from an 80s movie. not full zabka-status, just a cronie

i'm so jealous he gets to do this shit though

I don't know much about Euro Crime. But I do know as a genre they have the best posters.
