See Jack Carter run.

"The Good Bad Guy" tells of the comic misadventures of an Italian immigrant who takes a job only to find out it's murder-for-hire and he's working for the mob. An amateurish, low budget production, this lame flick delivers lots of blatant silliness, exaggerated stereotypes, and slapstick as our unlikely hero, the good bad guy (Greggio), stumbles and bumbles his way out of trouble and into love. In spite of its shortcomings, this little flick made me laugh and Lundy is juicy eye candy. Keep expectations low and give "The Good Bad Guy" a try.

Very funny!
joedrags15 January 2006
Watched this movie with eight retired friends. We thought this movie was hilarious. We couldn't stop laughing. Even though this is a low budget movie, the cast carried it off very well. Maybe because we were all Italian's, we could relate to the Italian's phrases. We could highly recommend this movie to everyone we talk to. The scene at the cliff was especially funny, especially when he was asked when was the last time he had sex, his comment had us falling out of the chairs. We had to rerun some parts a number of times to be able to hear the lines, because we were laughing so loud. We would be very interested in purchasing this video, in a VHF tape. Any assistance you could provide, would be greatly appreciated.

Thief pretends to be a cop and finds love.

This movie is a great one about a bumbling small time car thief who is tempted to get into the big time through helping the mob kill a witness who is about to testify.

Ezio Greggio does a credible job with doing everything on this movie, including writing, directing, singing the theme song, and starring in this film as the thief who pretends to be a cop.

Jessica Lundy plays Carol Graham, who happens to be a TV reporter who happens to bring Joe (Ezio Greggio) out of his life of crime. If you are a heterosexual man, I'm sure that you would turn your life around if you took a look at Jessica Lundy in this movie. Make sure you see the scene at the end of the movie when she is in the hospital room with Joe (Ezio Greggio) and you will understand why. Although I would not have made her character a hysterical ditz when things got stressful for her, Jessica Lundy did an incredible job with the acting in the film.

Dom Deluise makes an top-notch appearance as the judge who is frustrated by the fact that the witness who has a hard time remembering to point the finger at the mob boss because his head hit the concrete outside of the courthouse courtesy of a tackle by Joe (Ezio Greggio) as a last ditch attempt to try to kill the witness.

The bottom line is that this was a great comedy if you like a little action and romance thrown in.
