What's up, Ian? Here goes nothing. I was trying to prepare for this.

Some of you probably have laughed at me because of the beginning with a 컨araelet channel. possibly shipping depending on where you're getting them. So that's usually why I always try to
buy some move on there. I'm like I'm saving some kind of money by doing it here. Yeah totally terror vision did that as well when I met him he was just like two for 20 or something that was insanely good prices and so if you see terror vision when you go to a convention listeners if you go to one go up to them and get you some stuff man of cassettes or the albums or the movies or
whatever they'll definitely cut you a deal for sure. So that's cool man I wish I'd got to go man I haven't been to New Jersey since we met what was that last year year before how long has it been our year two years? 20, 23 and what was it March or April I think somewhere around that time?
Yeah so yeah so we're getting ready to hit two years soon so I did like New Jersey so I would definitely love to go chill and maybe we'll do that again in their future but that's cool man so he had fun there and I mean I love seeing pictures and if you want to know what else he went was up to you just got to go on his social media and you can see some pictures and note there.
Yeah yeah I mean I won't give any details but we we went to Exotica which is basically a con where you can meet you know porn stars camgirls stuff like that on Saturday and yeah it was a lot of fun. Deepest to say. Dude I wish I'd been there man oh my god that's so awesome. That's a cool alright so what we're gonna do listeners as we always like to do we typically do Jaloo we do have one Jaloo in here and we do also have a one would you consider that a pletsy I don't know if
we necessarily. Yes yeah it's a straight law both of them kind of could be actually in a way cold eyes of fear is just as much a crime movie. Sure as it is a Jaloo it's a it's a it's a thriller but it's a home invasion thriller so it's different from what you consider normally a Jaloo and then
yep street law is one of the first of like the vigilante pletsy atesco movies. Nice. Not cool let's get into them as we like to do we'll start in chronological order so we're going to go to 1971 from Inzo G Castellari and it is cold eyes of fear and Ian what do you got for a plot snops. Okay so this premise is taken from Italian crime filmography from 1968 to 1970 by Roberto
Curty. I'm gonna I I'm always careful to read his synopsis because he gives everything away so I'm gonna cut off one of these sentences but anyway Peter Bedell the nephew of an elderly magistrate picks up Anna at a nightclub and takes her to his uncle's house. He refines out that two thugs have infiltrated the villa after killing the waiter. The older of the two criminals sentenced to 15 years of prison by Peter's uncle plans to kill the judge by blowing up his office with an
explosive vice. Peter and Anna try in every way to make contact with the outside world but to know avail desperate the young man causes a short circuit that leaves the housing complete darkness and that's how the film climaxes I won't say any more than that. First time viewing for me how about you Ian. Second time viewing I went into it maybe wanting to see if I would like it any more or less the second time that might give away how I feel about this movie a little bit and it's it would be
you know suspicions would be trux. I don't think this one is one of Castellari's best. I think the film me and her's a lot like there's a lot of talking between people and not necessarily a whole lot of action and it's not just the talking in the house between the criminals and the two characters. It's also the outside stuff where there's repeated phone calls to the uncle that I think deescalate
a lot of the tension at times that you should be feeling. I think this movie would be much better served if it was just within that house and not much else was happening on the outside. The flashbacks don't bother me because the flashbacks are actually kind of interesting. They're shot kind of in this interesting experimental way. The film goes very psychedelic with when you see some of those flashbacks involving some of the characters but overall I think this film is not as visceral or
gritty as it should be. It does kind of get there within the last 15 minutes a little bit but there's there's a lot of conflict here that I don't think goes as far as it should. You have your moments.
You have the moments where Frank Wolf sort of starts going a little crazy and he shoving Gianni Garcos character Peter into some ice cubes and everything kind of trying to you know mess with them and torture him a little bit but overall it feels I think it feels a little bit caught between like an old version of like a new war hostage crisis movie like a movie like Key Largo for example with Humphrey Bogar and the villain would have been played by Edward G.
Robinson in that film. It feels a lot like a movie like that where the hero and the villain have this kind of interesting relationship. There's not as much acrimony between them as you might think and then it does have some of those moments where it turns into that but it never leans fully into them as much as it should and like I said there's conflicts between some of the characters like
even the two villains you have one the I can't remember the character Frank Wolf plays I think it's like Welk or something like that Arthur Arthur will yeah and his his sidekick they have a conflict because his sidekick wants to do this for money whereas Welk wants just pure revenge
so there's a conflict between them a little bit then there's the girl that Peter brings home Anna who really wants no part of this she has no loyalty to Peter at all and she's just trying to get out of this and whatever way she can but this isn't this doesn't turn into quite as much of like
an Annie Bell situation in house on the edge of the park like she's not using or I mean she's not using her sexuality I would say even enough to quite get out of the situation not that that's the only way a woman can get out of the situation but the film doesn't lean into the exploitation
elements quite enough either so it just feels like the film plays it's safe a little bit in a lot of ways even though there's a lot of interesting things here but the last 15 minutes that fully take place in the dark I actually think are really thrilling and really interesting yeah I'm
I'm gonna back you on that I'll I need to definitely sit down and watch this another time because I think the first time I was definitely the era where I think you probably were as well maybe the first time because much like you I felt like it just drug and drug in a lot of scenes and I
was just waiting for something to happen and it just never quite would get that pace and like you said once it would start ramping a little bit then we get that random phone call to you know to the lawyer judge whatever and I'm like what the fuck do you like you know you were doing so great
and then now you're gonna bother it down again I think the acting as a whole I didn't dislike I thought Frank Wolf done great as the Arthur Welk character man and and instantly soon as I saw on the end I'm thinking mmm gonna be a little bit off on this guy the judge character you know
just really was and it's played by Fernando Ray I did like Anna I thought Anna was a good eye peel and a you know definitely a good scene here but I they didn't give her enough I'm in my opinion it was just kind of enough uh so I was waiting for more from her and it just overall I
mean I like home invasion movies and that's what this is this is a home invasion movie so you know I like those they typically you know get me in a certain space but this one I never felt any kind of like this comfort or anything so I'm like well what are they gonna do with this I mean you
got like you said the one guy that's there for revenge and then you got another guy that's there just for money and and you know and then how that plays off at the end was just kind of like yeah I think cinematography wise though I think they've done you know a decent job I think the music
of course you can't go anywhere without talking about the music in this one because he has our great great great in you Moracone is definitely not his best work uh very very experimental sounding music too I would say very very funky music it's um not necessarily what you expect to hear from him
but I do like it I did like it too and I thought the same thing and I was center like what what was this something that maybe the director or somebody rent well you know kind of went to him and said give us this or was this something that Enio decided to do himself I mean because we know what
Enio can do I mean he's a freaking genius and probably one of our favorite or at least I can't speak for you but definitely one of my favorite composers so I might it's good but it wasn't great and I'm thinking what is he doing what was he really going for in this movie I don't know I still
don't know uh I mean it's not horrible many means and I would definitely love to have the soundtrack I would listen to it on the loop but uh just not one of his favorites but uh overall man I don't know man in I'm just really I mean we got the J&B siding in this one so we got that Jaloo aspect of
it even though it's not really Jaloo uh I don't know man I don't know how to even say it man I really need to see this again and just see if something if I pick up on something different because right now I'm just kind of like this is all right this is good I was really wanting more out of this one
then I really did because I was looking at the cast and you know a couple of the characters we know you know I mean it's not like we don't know Frank Wolf we know Frank Giovanni Rally I mean she's been in a ton of stuff or she got like 90 some acting credits in her yeah and we just saw her
recently and what have they done to your daughter she played the the main character the district attorney yeah so it's like and even Fernando Ray so I'm like you know that you know what we needed you know what really was missing in this one was we needed to have a different writer we needed
to oh what's what's what's his name oh shit then our nostto hostility we needed gistility we needed him writing this thing yeah that would have been pretty good I mean Castellari did a lot of the story stuff here in the screenplay and I think Castellari is capable of getting
more mean and visceral as films like the big racket is certainly a more mean and visceral film that this is and I wish he would have went there more um thematically there's some interesting stuff here it's not like it's devoted that like you have the criminal basically talking about
corruption with a judge and how the rich people managed to buy their way out of their the prison sentences where he couldn't so that's one of the reasons he's seeking seeking revenge but the it's almost it's almost like the film mentions that right at the end is like a throwaway
thing not necessarily wanting to delve into it more there's a lot of surface level stuff here whereas I think in a lot of his other films he executes a lot of these ideas with more passion that he has here yeah agree and I think that you brought up a really good point to that too because
the visceralness of this I really would have loved to sing a little bit meaner spirit in this one because of what the subject matter is and I don't think they quite hit it I mean I didn't dislike the opening we got the the strip clubs excuse me the strip club scene and then we see
you're our main character take a girl home so I mean he's you know taking her to the house and then that's when all the shenanigans takes place I mean she just happened to be in the wrong spot at the wrong time dude like what a hell of a time to be going to because somebody's house when they're
going to fucking home invade it even did you ever get the the notion that maybe she was part of it at one time I felt like that a little bit in this end of again could have been possible yeah I was like she was part of this the whole fucking and but she's not so minor spoiler majors for whatever
it is what is I would have loved it if she had been that would have been the shallow part that would have been the part where at the end of the movie it came out the honor was like you know secretly the one that that set this all up and then it then the moment though that would
award the whatever what do you have on this one as far as like dubbing corners anything like that I do actually have a couple um the guy who played the the butler who gets killed kind of read at the beginning Leonardo Scevino he is dubbed by trying to get to the list here John Carlson
Christopher Cruz is dubbing Gianni Garco as Peter now it's interesting about that is I have heard that voice a hundred times and never known a name to match it was so now I finally have it for that particular voice because I've heard that voice so many times so thanks to this movie
thanks for IMDB for having the credits yeah and being able to match that voice because now I have another voice in my repertoire to know from now on and that is a voice I've heard many times so that'll that'll come up at some point Christopher Cruz's name will definitely get mentioned again
on dubbing corner now um Gene Lolocio was a dial the dubbing director sometimes that's an interesting look at just because if you know who does it you normally know the crew they work with a little bit this one was more composed of that crew that normally does the movies that are shot
or that take place outside of Italy so it's taking place in London right so you're gonna have more British voices and a lot of those names are harder to come by actually wow did you as far as filming locations everything said it was filmed in Rome and also in London this one really I
mean honestly was mostly shot in buildings right like I mean it's mostly yeah it's mostly shot interior and it was what's interesting is it was shot at Chinatito which surprised me because that's normally where more prestigious films are shot like you know your Visconti films your
Follini films to seek uh you know any of those uh people that were directing the the big films back then um most of the films we tend to watch are shot at Incher to Paulus so it was interesting that this one was shot at Chinatita that actually surprised me yeah definitely and this one was also
with this had been Frank Wolves last last film it was actually I can talk more about that yeah please do I have some information here from the from the book that I actually wanted to read so cold eyes of fear relies heavily on Frank Wolves intense performance as the fake cop who penetrates
into Fernando race house and progressively becomes more and more menacing and out of control but the film's story is deeply tangled with the actor's personal drama since cold eyes of fear was mainly marketed at foreign audiences another hint of the fact that the genre was not considered
palatable enough for a domestic audience Castellari and Carpe had the script translated into into English by Wolf's beloved wife Alice who dumped him during the shooting since the film was shot in sequence films perform Frank Wolves performance and the actor's depression became
inextricable on and on and outside the set Frank lived in his own contorted sentimental drama while we're making the movie his character was changing together with the actor Castellari said that was the more dramatic thing the character's psychological evolution went hand in hand with
Wolves interior transformation Frank was a force of nature but watching him collapse after his woman left him was was tremendous I hope he means doesn't necessarily mean that in a good way the actor committed suicide a few months later in December 1971 in his hotel room in Rome
wow that that's so sad and first thing I want to say though at 43 he looked 60 like yeah he always looked a little older than he was although I never thought he looked I mean I don't necessarily know if he looked that bad compared to you know there were definitely other
people from the time that looked about the same you know yeah yeah definitely it just threw me when I looked he was 43 when he passed I'm like wow yeah I this little surprising he does look older yeah but like a pass for older we did this on in the Facebook group one time and I'm sure you
remember this but I think Brian Scott had shared a picture of 1970s and early 80s TV shows and the stars and their ages so you had like all in the family and the Jefferson's and all these different shows right and all these guys you would think were in their 50s and 60s and 70s were
literally in their late 30s early 40s or what it was crazy how people aged back then you would look at them like good Lord that's how wolf I just I looked at him and I was like wow I thought he was really a lot older but sad tragedy man it's such a shame that he you know took his life
at such a young age because no tell him what else he could have done but I can guarantee you this is not the last time we'll talk about Frank will on the podcast either because he's in some movies that we've yet to cover I love him the great silence love him and his small part and once upon a time
in the west love him in the lawn caliber nine even though his character doesn't need to be in that movie but he elevates the performance and makes it really fun death occurred last night is probably another film we'll cover at some point sort of a hybrid g allop please procedural film and
what's unfortunate is had he lived longer the Euro crime genre was set up for him to have success in like he was the perfect actor for those kind of films and he ended up being in a couple of them including this one but that film could have taken him into stardom throughout the 70s in Italy
obviously that probably wouldn't translate it over here because it never does but he probably could have become as beloved as someone like a Henry Silva you know one of those American actors who went to make a lot of films over there so yeah it really is unfortunate yeah definitely and I
mean it is just a shame but overall I mean this movie is is just one that I find kind of at a neutral spot and I want to really you know I will rate it but I really want to give it a socket viewing and see if I can definitely get over the hump and say okay maybe this this this
but all the first view and it's it's good I mean it's it's not great and after watching Sir Jim Martino and you watch some of these other directors and everything he's definitely got chops Castor Laurie he's got a vision is just for some reason this movie just drug it's like
wanted more and I'm waiting for more and just never got it and it could have been story could have been whatever did you want now do you have the blue ray or how did you watch this one uh no I just watched it on YouTube I actually think the indicator blue ray print might be on to be it
might be a little better looking than the YouTube one is which I think is probably from the old Kino redemption DVD um you can find it on canopy as well because for whatever reason or no maybe it might have been a rarrow video uh well it's it's that it's that particular line it's that
redemption one so it's it's through Kino Lorber one of their subsidiaries yeah the indicator blue ray I do not own yet I might end up buying it um there was a sale on it on Amazon at one point I think it's still on sale but that also means for indicator that's like twenty six dollars that's a
sale uh for those guys um but you do get I looked at the features um it's in 4k so you get a 4k blue ray audio commentaries with David Flynn and Adrian Smith um they have a podcast as well or at least Adrian does called the wild wild podcast so they're they're really good to listen to they're
really knowledgeable about Italian genre cinema directing fear legendary director Enzo J. Castellari looks back at the production and his experience of working with the actors Gianni Garco has an interview on there um assistant editor Gianfranco Emma Chuci uh as an interview a a d a dj
named lovely john um talks about any umoraconis uh score and he's done that for some other uh releases as well I think he's been on some arrow video releases actually um 80 page book with a new essay by Roberto Cartier career spanning archival interview with director Enzo J. Castellari
conducted by Mark Wickham archival interviews with Garco and Giovanna Rally um reports on the death of Frank Wolfe so there's a lot of stuff on here so it might be something I get at some point just for all that information even if this isn't necessarily my favorite film yeah I'm looking
on actually on eva and they have a pop dot market uh has more than ten available and this is the indicator 4k comes with the 80 page book and everything 26 dollars and two cent free shipping oh wow okay well that might be worth it what a freaking deal yeah I mean and for that book
lit alone that would be that would definitely be nice to have um and Enzo you know this is a bold statement but Enzo J. Castellari I think is I think if I had to rank all my favorite directors he'd probably be six on the list um and by the way I can't believe I didn't bring this up we
actually have talked about a film that he did because he did in glorious bastards oh so I didn't even think of that but yeah which is an amazing film obviously yeah uh so he did that one but from about 1974 which is when street law hits although he did high crime in 1973 from about that time to
about 1985 he's probably my third favorite director behind um behind Dario or Zento and Lucio Volcci Lucio Volcci being first actually I got that in the wrong order but I don't think there's anybody else within that period that I would like more you know above those two and Castellari um
because Sergio Martino had already made a lot of his yellow films by that point so just within that ten ten year period he'd probably be my third favorite because he just got a ton of heavy hitters all out in that span but he's just not he's just not someone people talk about as much
specifically the horror crowd because he didn't make many of those kind of movies um notably turned down zombie because he just wasn't interested uh in you know that kind of subject matter it just wasn't really his thing the only horror movie really ever directed unless you include this one as a
horror movie is the last shark which is not a particularly good film all right Ian go over to E-bay brother you can get his cheapest $24 free shipping so yeah I found another one over there for $24 there's another one for $25 so they're over there man get it over on ebay listeners as you're
listening to me $26.02 buy it now free delivery bam and they have a 20% off with two plus if you buy two or more you get a coupon get 20% off bam for that person as a seller or to keep it as a seller no okay no that would that still be pretty cool yeah I'm trying to
um it is pop dot market uh they're out of Kentucky uh I do not know this company listener so I'm not going to say that I recommend them to saying that they do have uh this particular movie and looking at their movies and TV they got blu-ray so who knows what oh damn all right night of the hunted
the uh limit addition indicator over there $26.02 lips of blood $26.02 oh yeah the all those John Roland movies yeah I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of those yeah other he's got I think I have I have some of the old redemption blu-rays of those two but obviously those new versions of
them have way more features um fascination specifically um I would like to get oh my god they have got the batwoman indicator uh not saying that's a good one but just never go good with what you just went to uh patrick's over here they they do they have uh yeah he's got night of the seagulls
blu-ray oh hell yeah dude I might have a good one yeah I don't think I own many indicator releases because you know notably they're pretty expensive but also yeah um the only one that I know that I own is actually the irreversible uh blu-ray yeah I gotta get this lips of blood I think I might
get that one yeah I might end up getting that too I don't even think I own that one out I don't think I own the redemption blu-ray that I own I own probably about four or five of Roland's movies but that I don't believe is one of them yeah and that is such a cool looking cover two minutes so
freaking awesome that's a pretty good Roland movie um yeah I mean my personal favorite is uh living dead girl and that's not always one people have at the top I that's my favorite one because it's glorious yeah yeah because he wouldn't always do too much blood and gore in his films um that
was one where he did lean into a little more um grapes of death I do enjoy a lot fascination I enjoy a lot um not that I want to get too to rev on John Roland I love John Roland but uh yeah cool we'll go ahead over there pop market pop dot market and um I'm gonna get it to you and I'll
try to send you a link over to let's make John Roland a future uh land of the creeps main show subject we should do that uh we will we will I'll talk to y'all fair about that later there could there could possibly be something of that in works that in franco but we'll yeah
well oh really okay cool so yeah awesome all right well cool let's go to cold eyes of fear once again do you have anything else on cold eyes of fear you ready wrap that one up is so yeah quickly um Johnny Garco he doesn't make too much of an impression in this but I do really like him as an actor
he was in the psychic he plays a pretty big part in that but notably he's in the sartana films um which is something we're gonna have to cover at some point um those films are awesome awesome fun spaghetti westerns with him as a main character um for dandell ray I think is really wasted in this film unfortunately uh out of everyone is in this film I think he's the most wasted out of any of them with his performance uh you know people would know him for being the villain
uh sharnier in both french connection films and he is excellent yes the villain in both of those films yeah that was the one character that when I saw his name I'm like oh this is gonna be awesome and then we only get him like basically on phone conversations I'm like what is this like it was
just basically like the equivalent of having don't uh no not even don't a place that I don't even say that like girls night out right when they brought in uh what's his face to do that little hellhole brook and they basically didn't even happen with the cast they just recorded a couple
scenes and then you know through it and edit and then through it in the movie to look like he was there I mean that's the equivalent of what we're getting we're from down to right here like nothing substantial I was so disappointed in that because he is such a good actor and they could
yeah he is dude they could have had him show up at their house they could have done so many things and they just waste just a while yeah squander definitely oh yeah in that regard um yeah I think I think that might be all I have for this one um there's definitely you know um a good inspiration
from uh we until dark specifically in those last 15 minutes or so I just wish certain things I mean we've talked about it already thematically and and just you know the via the violence and visceral field it would have been elevated I mean Frank Wolf I think does his best to kind of
reach that level of like a of like a David Hess to Moss Million or Helmut Berger type villain but it doesn't quite get there I think that that's more in the writing necessarily than him and obviously he had his own personal life fueling his performance in this as well as we've as we've heard but
hmm he's he's good but he doesn't quite get all the way there agree agree so we'll go to ratings on this one uh once again this is cold eyes affair from 1971 if you're keeping up this is available on YouTube and some other spots that you can find it for sure hour and 31 minutes long
I came in with a six on this one and I think it may go up with future viewers I just I got a temper myself a little bit because I went into it with the next expectation because of Frank Wolf and different things going on and I didn't quite hit that so my fault not the filmmakers
for hope but uh but a six for me where you come at him yeah another thing I wanted to mention too was the opening of this film the opening of this film kind of predates I mean it's not quite as good because it it truthly told us over too quickly but it kind of reminds you of the opening
is something like he knows you're alone or even something in demons where you have someone thinking that they're watching something but they're really watching a performance of some kind which is actually a very cool opening to me yeah the opening was great I really enjoyed
open I was into that part of it and then uh the home invasion just kind of left me a little warming but yeah uh I'm also giving this a six I was thinking like I mean I was thinking about bumping it up a little bit because of how as of how well it does at the end but then I was like yeah
everything else before it's just kind of me andering it's not it's slightly better than average let's say that but it doesn't get any further than that for me right exactly all right well cool let's cold eyes of fear uh let's go now to 1974 a first time watch for me as well and this one ain't even
an hour and 30 it's like an hour and 20 minutes hour and 16 minutes shorter uh it is once again inzo castelaris street law or you can call it illusitatino siada rebella uh so it ain't taking away for the plot synopsis okay geno while during a bank robbery engineer Carlo Antonelli is taken hostage by three bandits beating up and left behind since the police are not very willing to help him Antonelli vows to track down the criminals himself and get revenge arm with the camera he collects evidence
on a young robber Tommy and black males enforcing him to get weapons and introduce into the underworld on the pretext of a heist Antonelli locates the three robbers and their hideout and calls the police but the thugs leave before the cops arrive without giving up and with Tommy by a side Antonelli
pretends to have been kidnapped forced to police to intervene however the three bandits discover Antonelli's own hideout and attempt to kill the engineer so that's all i'm going to say dumb dumb dumb how many times have you seen this one uh probably about like five or six oh wow
yeah this is one i've seen quite a few times okay cool cool uh a lot of fun in this one this one right here has some really really cool squib scenes and if you don't know what squib scenes in that's basically where they do shootings and you can see they do these little uh almost like
what do you call like a not a dynamite like a uh shit an explosion where it looks like blood splatter right so they had some really cool squibs in this and a lot of good action i love the action in this movie you got Frank Nero in this movie for crying out loud that that gets you something
there right away no matter what uh in my opinion if he's in a movie i'm already interested uh a lot of fun in this one man i'm telling you man some of the chase sequence after the tour to begin in that car chase sequence was really good uh you got Barbara Bach in this one
and Bond girl herself i thought she'd done good for what she had rommado poopo uh he in his in this movie you know who in the hell is rommado poopo uh it was funny because i think rommado was in i'm pretty sure he was he's in a lot of Bruno Matay's films um i can't remember if he's in either the
killer crocodile's he may have been um the great alligator the great alligator there he goes he played Peter in a great alligator okay yeah that makes sense that he's in that um i haven't seen that movie enough to remember him that i need to watch it again um the uh yeah he well he
was also in 2019 after the fall of New York that we just watched he played ratcheted that they got with the eye patch so yeah so that was cool i mean i i will say like it i really was the soonest thing has the opening sequence and we got the car chase we got people getting shot and i'm like
oh because i watched this one after i watched uh cold eyes of fear so i'm like oh my god like dude i was in brain overload i'm like oh we got action we got shooting we got like yes we're definitely a bit more of a lively film yeah i will say that yeah it's like this is what
you expect with castolari and you know right after this he goes on murderers row just hitting you know head after head um before this he did high crime which was his initial crime film which we'll have to cover on the show at some point but does this then he does i think the big racket
1976 he does um heroin busters i think it's 77 so he he kind of just keeps going then he starts with the post-apocalyptic films the early 80s so he he goes on a nice run and glorious bastards is like 1977 or 78 so he has a string of hits almost every year uh from this point on and um this one
yeah it starts out with the bank robbery um but even before the bank robbery you get the opening where you see criminals uh that you know they turn out to be in frank o'neary's house you know basically vandalizing it and then you get the amazing opening with the greedy oeguito and mericio
de anzola song where it's just a montage of all these crimes happening right people breaking into stores uh first snatching um people getting shot i mean it's it's an amazing montage and the music makes it even better and the bloodscoots as you said um in 1968 sam peck and pa or maybe it was
1969 it's one of the two sam peck and pa makes a wild bunch bonny and collide also gets made by Arthur pen those are the first two films to show significant bloods quibs in film which is why a lot of spaghetti westerns didn't really have those because a lot of the big spaghetti westerns
are made before that are right around the same time the euro crime films really took peck and pa's influence and castelari has admitted as much i mean you get some of the slow motion you get the bodies falling in these very balletic um ways uh so it's uh those films were definitely more inspired
by the peck and pa violence and they have the blood squibs more than the spaghetti westerns do um and that's and that's on full display here uh for sure you get the initial stuff at the beginning but then the shoot out at the end um one of the things i did not necessarily love about this film the
first time i saw it is in the middle there's not a whole lot of action in the middle um the film focuses more on carlo as a character him trying to figure out this whole underworld thing how he can catch these criminals and i didn't necessarily love it the first time i saw it now i really
appreciated a lot because it introduces the character of tome played by jong carlo prete and he's actually a more sympathetic than sympathetic character than carlo is even though he's a criminal sure you kind of feel bad for tome because he's almost a victim of circumstance he doesn't want
to hurt anybody doesn't want to kill anybody yet he is still a thief in a bank robber because of the circumstances he's living in um and he you know he has aspirations of opening up a garage because he's really good at fixing cars apparently and franko kind of takes him under his wing uh i think
you know as a father figure even though they're about the same age the actors are although you wouldn't necessarily know what franko definitely acts older than he is and prete definitely feels younger than he is um you know there's that dynamic and there are scenes in the middle of this like
when jong carlo prete leads you know leads franko nearer to the criminals some of his facial expressions you know his his the way he expresses fear and how scared he is are just amazing because franko's got those blue eyes and he does it so well and you know go on franko nearer for this because he's
not playing a tough guy in this film um at all really what do you think about it uh it gets a zaskick you oh yeah multiple times and anytime someone kind of confronts him in this film he kind of runs he's you know anytime someone really opposes him he he runs away um so it's
interesting to see that and even at the end of the film he has to cry he has to express a lot of vulnerability in this film something i don't think any other actor within this genre could do um reto merleys sure as hell couldn't have done that definitely wouldn't have done it i don't
even think tamas milleon would have been the right guy for this kind of role as much as i love him franko really is perfect for this part where he's playing this sort of i'd say somewhat upper class gentlemen who's just fed up with the situation he's in his masculinity gets insulted he doesn't like
the fact that he's able to be put through what he's put through in this film like he doesn't like the fact that these three guys were able to kidnap him and he could do nothing about it yeah i mean his first reaction when he sees all the cameras around him when the you know
he after he's been taking hostage and he's out of the situation he says his first thing is is i'm gonna kill them he's not even happy to be safe he's like i'm mad and i'm going to kill these people and he takes out some of his anger on his girlfriend played by barber bak by slapping her in the face
at one point yeah he's not really the he's not really the most sympathetic character in the world you don't necessarily hate him but you don't necessarily like him either it's kind of in the middle a little bit his relationship with Tommy i think makes you like him a little bit more as the film goes on and you root for him to catch these criminals certainly um regardless of how he does it i mean he tries to do the right thing at one point by trying to call the police on them but please don't get
there on time but you know you you have that scene with him and barber bak early on where she's like i want you to stop complaining i want you to stop feeling sorry for yourself and she just she just goes a little bit too far to his mind where he's just he kind of just snaps at her all
of a sudden you know um and it's just one of those things but that scene in the middle where he finds the criminals they all start beating him up again they shove him into the puddle a bunch of times with the music playing in the background then the next day you have the scene with a car which
boy our franco nero stunts amazing in that scene yeah i mean that scene where he gets hit by the car and then falls over that giant hill that is one of the most amazing stunts i think i've ever seen anybody do regardless of if it's franco nero or not and castolari always tried to cast stuntman in big roles because they would you know they were a big part of his film ramanopupo is a stuntman notably for leave and cleave actually he was leave and cleave stunt double for much of his movies
but massimo vani who plays another one of the robbers he is basically the where's walldo and castolari's films he is almost in every single one of them um usually playing a bad guy but also doing stunts and they were cousins as well so it makes sense that he's in a lot of his films yeah totally uh
i agree with you on the stunts to me man i think some of the action sequences in this are insane and i love that frank did most of it if not all of it i mean it's showing at least most of it i think he did all of i think he did because you can tell there's any cuts or anything to anything
else you know and in modern day you know it's it's fun because i've seen so many films now where i can tell where their stunt work because i can tell by the cuts and just how people are being shot with a camera like when i watched um i watched um the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen again for
you know the first time in a long time not so long ago and i could tell Sean Connery wasn't doing any of this on stunts in that film just because of the way he shot you can just tell um roger more and a lot of his James Bond films especially the later ones like he's probably not even leaving
pinewood studios there's no way to get any of his own stunts so it's just certain things you can tell in these films were really authentic and how they did the stunts reme julie ended all the car chase scenes which look awesome yep um you get that one shot at the beginning of that one car just like
flipping over completely which is awesome so it's just a lot of authentic stuff here that you don't see in movies anymore and it may not look quite as glitz and glamour as say a fast and furious film does but that's because they can use CGI in those films and almost all of it is CGI so they can you know they can do way more bombastic things that they did in these movies but everything here is real yeah it's so practical and and I enjoyed it like I really I really enjoyed the action in this film
I do agree with you toward the middle where it kind of when he's took him under the wing and kind of the other is a little bit of warning right in there but overall man this this movie just really had a good pace for me and I was like it shot really well the action sequences were filmed great
like they they really or I guess I don't know let me see cinematographer pretty sure one ends those go-to guys but uh Carlo Carleini uh man great job dude man the camera working this is great uh love the the aerial not the aerial I guess you just called the geographical shots of this movie man
I thought you know really hit it because you're going through some city parts and stuff uh love Frank Nero man I'm just a huge fan of Frank and he does a bang up job in this movie I agree with you Thomas Mulan etc probably not the best part for this I think they they chose right Frank
definitely uh nailed this part and I did sympathize more like what you were saying I did sympathize a little bit more with Jen Carlo the time he character man because once you get to know a little bit about him at first you're like no way but uh even that funny sequence at the very beginning when
he first met him Franko's character Carlos watching him and then you know he sees him come out and then all of a sudden he's just standing there with cigarette how did he do that yeah it's like how did he know or whatever Franko said I thought was great man that's a great sequence yeah good
stuff the only thing I would like to say was a little bit more barber bot maybe being a little different I don't know do you feel she was wistered you I don't get you I mean I kind of like her in this film because she's not I mean she's not in it maybe enough but her character is at least
fully formed like she likes Carlo but she's not afraid to stand up to him either and tell him like hey you can't just you can't just go out there and be a vigilante like you know and and even at the end of the film she basically says multiple times like hey I don't want she to get killed like
you know she's she she does she does at least have a character that's not just there to support and console the hero or to be fodder for the villains either because the villains never really interact with her yeah and she's not being like the sex symbol or anything she's not that even when she
dresses with the glasses and she's dressed down on this library and ask so I really enjoyed that part of her her character I just would like to see more of her but he really didn't I mean honestly if you really think about it really didn't warn it because this action flick and you don't want to
bog down with just a lot of lots of good stuff in this one man I did really enjoy again the fight sequences man I thought the vigilante part of it toward the end of the movie was handled well and uh this a lot of fun around I just really I that's all I can say is just a lot of fun I
thought the musical score was good I really enjoyed some of the sequences of that and that's by uh what Gido and Marisio Day and Jellis pretty good stuff I know you know them pretty well because it does look like they had a few titles and we heard their music and torso as well they work
with Castellari a lot um in the big racket uh for this they were probably one of the biggest composers of these eurocrime films them and probably like Stelvio Sipriani and some others have you ever seen flatfoot in Hong Kong uh no I haven't either it's a stino I'm like
man just listen to the name flatfoot in Hong Kong just says yes watch that that says like something moods over 22 shots is probably saying he probably owns it or something so yes ergio sex with a smile surgeo Martinez yeah cool stuff all right yeah the music was good in this one
but um you got anything on any kind of dubbing or anything uh yeah a ton of them for this one um Nick Alexander who people may know for dubbing Al Clive or in zombie is the one dubbing Romano Pupo as the leader of the criminals um Frank von Kugelin is dubbing Massimo Vanny as another
one of the criminals Pat Stark is dubbing Barbara Bach uh Robert Sommer is voice is dubbing Renzo Palmer as the main police inspector you see throughout this film uh Ed Manix is dubbing Stefan Zacharias who plays like the librarian that um Frank O'Neillo interacts with in one scene
Stephen Lovato um is dubbing the one of the guys that Franco confronts in the pool hall looking for information he's like you want information check the yellow pages um yes i know William Keel as a voice in your somewhere i'm not sure what character he's playing i know Ted Russoff as well as
dubbing like one of the police officers you see in one scene i think maybe one of them in that scene where they go to the place where Franco works and they're like hey got kidnapped Larry Doulgan is dubbing uh he's dubbing Enzo Gi Castellari actually in his cameo Enzo plays the guy that
Massimo Vanny confronts at one point in that shipyard but he's also dubbing uh Nazirano Zampalia who i think is the third criminal the one of the beard um that also is at the final shoot at the end not the guy that Franco Nero kills at the the junkyard or the
the gravel pits i think that was someone else um Lewis Chenelli is dubbing Sylvia Klein who i think is just another one of the cops um not oh what else but there were there were just a lot of voices i recognized there's a lot of credits for this one on IMDB as well so not many of these movies have
an extensive list of credits for the dubbing but this one definitely did nice a lot a lot a lot a lot of it um who do you think like as far as this movie what else would you compare this one specific movie is there any other movie that you would compare this one to or is it just kind of go lumped
into all the well death wish is the big comparison that most people would make the first death wish now some people say that this is a ripoff of death wish well death wish actually came out like four months after this movie did so that opinion is null um but it has some similarities the biggest
difference though is in death wish um Charles Branson is seeking out to get revenge on the criminals of kiddos family never finds them in that first one so that's a big difference here where he does find these criminals Franco Nero's character does but he's not out for revenge for
any sort of real personal reason he's out because they insulted his masculinity that's the biggest reason why he's out for revenge so there's a pretty big difference there but it is comparable to a lot of those vigilante films um another one of my favorite Euro crime vigilante films is a film
called manhunt in the city uh directed by umberto lensee starring Henry Silva a bit harder to find but one of the best ones that i could think of um nice do you own the blue ray or anything on this from dvd or anything i do own yeah code red blue ray the only thing that's on there for special
features though is um Troy Howard did a really good commentary for it and there's an interview with Franco Nero there is like a German blue ray out there but that one doesn't have any other extensive special features you can get the Italian dub or maybe the German dub on it
instead there's a blue underground blue ray release years ago uh not a blue ray sorry a dvd and i think it was even on a triple pack maybe with like the heroin busters and the big racket as well they had like a dvd triple back of all three that you can probably still find yeah looking at
the artwork on this one is this one got the guy with the shotgun or whatever with the ski mask on the cover uh that would be the cold red one yes okay yes that's where there's nowhere else to turn street law it'll blow you away um cool i was just looking on the eva and they only had like one
and don't look like it's available much i feel like this one should get if it's blue underground we should definitely be getting something uh let's say done what we know that they do sometimes where they kind of go in obscurity but uh i would definitely see this one released in like some
kind of box set or some kind of saverin or vinegar syndrome or something release man probably vinegar syndrome being blue underground but uh now i'd love to see something with this and this would be fun man have just a ton of features with it and uh of course you got to have Troy Howard
back on it it was anything Troy does great uh yeah his commentary for this was was really good i did not listen to it for this pass viewing but i had listened to it before and it was um it was it was really good um one thing i learned from him too was that final um sequence that final shoot
out in the hanger the abandoned hanger that was that took eight days to shoot oh wow yep how long did it say how long the shoot took out or the shot took out together like the whole movie uh no i do not have that information but yeah that last sequence taking that long is yeah
yeah that tells you how much they had to do for it wow that's crazy uh so let's see it says a hundred minutes over on wikipedia which is what a hour and forty minutes but over on i m db it shows hour and sixteen minutes i don't it's clearly a little bit longer an hour and sixteen minutes
could have been could have been whatever american version maybe got released at some point who knows yeah no sooner trying to even think what would you take out of unless they're taking squibs and stuff out which would be ridiculous this film also if i remember correctly
was released um after the movie vigilante came out um the the bill lustig film this film was actually released as vigilante two and Britain at one point after that movie it came out like it was re-released in the theaters wow yeah that's like a zombie too yeah
both actually i mean that film would be kind of another film to compare this to i think that film might be slightly better than this one and it's a little bit different but there are similarities for sure nice uh what else you got for street law marillo i mean there are some there are some
pretty funny parts um like that part when carlo that car that car that part when uh carlo is led to believe um by jacarlo pretace character by taumi uh that he's you know going to meet this criminal it turns out to be a prostitute and he tries to leave him there and he doesn't it's
i don't even think it's the keys for the car that he doesn't have i think it's the keys for the steering wheel or something it was the steering wheel was locked yeah that's interesting i never knew that that was a thing back then i didn't need her but yes like i totally i'm glad you brought this
thing up because i was going to bring it up because that was such a hilarious you know just cool scene that you hear him just cry she's like fuck franko is having all this bad luck you know at one point trying to get anything on these criminals and with carlo he does actually smart enough a little bit because he tells him to bring him these weapons right yeah carlo spends time like just putting together this like sack of a bunch of like pipes and stuff to make it looks like he's got weapons and
franko kind of catches on at that point he's like no i know that that's those aren't weapons in there you got to do better than that so that's like the one really smart moment that he has after being fooled by criminals or by so you know so many times already in this film that was a pretty fun
moment as well true yeah i really enjoyed that and and i love how he's like you know tell them okay now your money's here and he's got to go look at the fun this is classic uh yeah there's some good moments there is definitely some humor in this one but man i'm telling you just the opening
sequence is worth gold in this movie like just watch the opening you know the chase sequence the squibb shots and everything i can't preach enough about how great that was in my opinion that's really fun and maybe it's because i just watched cold eyes with fear and i needed something with
some action maybe that's all it was i don't know uh once again frank nero no so great and the deandalous brothers they get so much out of this theme they sometimes play with different instruments they sometimes slow it down like there's like if you look up the soundtrack there's probably like
i don't know eight different versions of the main theme you know some without vocals some with it's they do a good job of kind of just milking that for all it's worth you hear it over and over again um but it is really good and then you've got the driving all around song that you hear a bunch of
times like really the soundtrack for this is really just two songs played you know with different instruments at different speeds true yeah and it is yeah it really is and you'll catch it too when you listen listeners you'll you will definitely pick up on what he is talking about uh but it works
something it just really works in this one uh once again Carlo Carleini man sent him a talk for great job dude and and those squibs in this movie man i can't preach man i'm telling you to do good stuff good stuff i guess we'll just go ahead and pass around right and zone in the end um i have an eight on this big bad puppy first time viewing and i can't wait to watch it again man and i would love vinegar syndrome severing i don't care era whoever you know this blue underground blue underground
release i don't care i would love to see a same release god i'd love to have it man so yeah it would be nice if this could be one that they remaster on blue ray at some point um if they have the capability to do a better release although considering cold red already did it i'm not so sure uh but i do wish you know someone to put this one out with some better features um this would be a very good starter movie for eurocrime though like if that blue underground triple DVD pack is still out there
i would i would definitely consider buying that if you're like a novice to this genre i want to get into it more if you if you get that you get the big racquet you get this and the heroine busters i think on the same set that's by the same director um some of the same stars with you
know you get phobia testy and two of these film and two of those films that would be a very good starting point for the genre and i bet that DVD is still out there somewhere you'd probably have to buy it used on like amazon or ebay but um that would be a good starting point uh as for the movie
uh i'm gonna give it an eight and a half i'm a step above you um i've liked it a lot more um as viewing stuff going on it's not quite castolari's masterpiece but it is damn good nice i love it so uh definitely if you want to search it out see if they have it the street law you say
street law or how would it be considered three pack uh uh street law let me say if i can find street law three packs if it just pops up by any chance over on ebay but uh but anyways you can check that out and if you want to find it and you can't find it definitely get your hands on it
i will uh back e and that would probably be a really good uh set to find a cifling fine three pack midnight movies volume three it is going for a little bit more now although well it might have been not who's selling it midnight movies volume three so that's what it's called from blue
underground midnight movies volume three boom boom boom boom that's cifling five midnight movies volume there it is oh wow oh hundred ninety dollars over on ebay oh wow okay so it is going for more now that it's unfortunate you might be able to still find the individual dvd for a little
less though i don't know um maybe maybe not yeah i'm sure you can but uh if not you can watch this on youtube and a few other spots is over there so definitely check that out all right cool well that is our episode our movies tonight so Ian what is the next episode which will be four oh one
