    • Quotes

      'O' Generale: [detailing his "protection plan"] The small business man, he doesn't earn much, doesn't pay much. The big moneymakers, they pay big money. That's justice. And the tradesman has a guarantee he can operate in peace. That's keeping the public order. I'm like a government.

      Francesco Capuano: Like the old saying: It's better to command than to fuck.

      [both laugh]

    • Alternate versions
      The video version released by Paragon Entertainment is shorn by a minute as many scenes are abbreviated to exclude most of the film's rampant profane language.

    7/10
    Very good action movie.
    Highly efficient, high octave stuff from director Lenzi and I'm not really sure why I'm not rating it higher. Thing is, I think, there maybe is not quite enough sex and violence! Actually there is violence a plenty, all through the film actually, but is is mainly guns and fists and the really outrageous and gory kills are shown so briefly that their impact is somewhat muted. Good job too, some may say, but this is a Lenzi pic and I was rather surprised. Nevertheless, this is violent action all the way and mostly out on the crowded, Naples streets. Colourful location shooting and some amazingly well shot street chases, on foot by car and motorbike. Very good action movie.
