Boulevard Movies has this up for pre-order with an ETA of 4/12, from from Film Art/Medea Target.



Herbert Fleischmann leads the cast as Hamburg business man Otto Westermann, who is also the boss of the organized crime in the city. His reign as godfather is in danger, though, as ambitious Sicilian mafioso Luca Messina enters the North German metropolis, coming directly from New York. Messina's goal is clear and simple: He wants to take over Hamburg. But Westermann isn't as easy to defeat as the Sicilian expects. And soon Hamburg is on the verge of a bloody mob war.

Potentially worth getting just for the Silva interview?

Color me intrigued...

Just an excuse to post this awesome poster art.

I have a boot of this, it's action packed! Some of that action is admittedly goofy at times but it's well worth seeing. An Italian/German coproduction, Horst Janson (Captain Kronos) is also in the cast. There's a good car chase in the film, as well as a boat chase that'll make you giggle - they're mini-boats.

I'll be grabbing this. Weird pick for such a lavish release though.

Weird or not, I'm stoked for it. More 70s Silva is always a good thing. And I do have a soft spot for mini boats.

Yeah, I was rewatching KILLER VS. KILLERS last night and compared to that silly (but fun) film, this is a kick ass masterpiece.
