Thanks for the link, Andrew. More than I needed to know, actually.
Paul's description of MANHUNT IN THE CITY makes it sound all the more interesting. I found a dealer that sells it with subs.
Has anyone seen THE DESIGNATED VICTIM with Milian? What's that like?"I've been to college, but I can still speak English when business demands it."

Has anyone seen Corruzione al palazzo di giustizia (Corruption in the Halls of Justice, 1975)? With Franco Nero and Martin Balsam. Any good?
Alpha Video sells a dubbed version under the title The Smiling Maniacs."I've been to college, but I can still speak English when business demands it."

Well, I now have a stack of unwatched poliziesco all'italiana sitting here next to my taller stack of unwatched gialli which is next to my short stack of unwatched peplum-via-Bava. Tonight, if I can stay awake: SUPER BITCH."I've been to college, but I can still speak English when business demands it."

It's Merli. It's a 70's flick shot partially in NYC and Lenzi directed it. The fact that I haven't seen this is shameful.I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.

Originally posted by Andrew Monroe View PostI don't think there is an english friendly release of this, Horace. I'd love to be wrong though! I know there's an Italian dvd but no english options. I have a pretty nice looking fandub from a widescreen tv airing (there's also a fandub using that dvd). It's another Lenzi/Merli winner, maybe not quite as good as their best work but still a kickass crime film. Merli actually plays a more fully realized character in this imo, with an estranged wife and a daughter. Good road movie with Merli transporting a witness from Italy to NY...plenty of violence and an ambiguous ending. Good soundtrack too.

Originally posted by Scyther View PostI have the same fandub, and agree with Andrew on his points. Definitely recommended, though probably not essential. I think Micalizzi might have done by favorite Poliziotteschi scores.
Agreed about Micalizzi - I just bought his soundtracks to ROME ARMED TO THE TEETH, CYNIC RAT FIST and CORLEONE - mesmerizing.
The RATTT score uses the same 8 notes over and over but it's a fantastic 8 notes that hooks you like a John Carpenter Halloween number. His stuff mixes really well with Shire's PELHAM score for iPod listening on the NYC subway.
