Did You Know?
| Trivia | Director Enzo G. Castellari made his crime films inspired by popular American crime films, this being his take on a lone cop in over his head trying to bust a crime lord ala The French Connection, right down to the casting of Fernando Rey, while the following years' Street Law was a take on vigilantism ala Death Wish. Franco Nero starred in both. See more » |
