Trivia

Along with the theatrical premiere for Gone with the Pope, Grindhouse Releasing also debuted a brand new, pristine 35mm copy of Massacre Mafia Style. The new remastered version is now in dispute over who owns the rights to the film. It quite possibly might not be shown again in any format (since one company owns the prints but another owns the rights to distribute).

User Reviews

borderline watchable

The travails and exploits of a Sicilian hit-man, one could accurately refer to The Executioner as a classic example of deservedly obscure and very sleazy 70s exploitation. It's poorly written and it's badly acted. Thus, what this film really needed was more action and fewer lines. The story takes into account the rise of XXX pornography, as the main character in The Executioner considers entering into the porn industry as its taking off with the success of Deep Throat, which kind of connects the film's violent content to sex, both prime exploitation ingredients. As a 70s exploitation film, The Executioner has too much of the downside and not enough of the upside that that term carries with it. Still, for fans of borderline bad movies, it may not be a total disappointment.
