I AM THE LAW (DVD) Giuliano Gemma battles the Mafia with Morricone score

After a lot of digging, we have unearthed a really rare early Eurocrime flick that actually takes place in the 1920's during Mussolini's facist reign in Italy. This Japanese print is the extended uncut version and being an actual true story, you might feel like you actually learned something after viewing it........




I AM THE LAW (1977)
     

     Cesare Mori is a police prefect who was sent to Sicily by Mussolini with the task of defeating the Mafia. Although not a fascist himself, he is a man of law who is determined to see justice prevail.


     After the brutal murder of a family, Mori uses his direct and extreme methods in what looks more like a war than a police operation. Constantly fighting in the front lines, we even see him challenge a bandit to a duel.


     Even though his methods give miraculous results against lower violent crime, he runs into trouble when he finds out the upper Mafia are connected with important political figures.


     Director Pasquale Squitieri (Corleone) teams up with Giuliano Gemma again to realize this very strange period of Italian history. Great acting and cinematography are only enhanced by a stellar Ennio Morricone score.

NINJA IN THE KILLING FIELD (DVD) Godfrey Ho ninja drug traffickers

I know everyone was waiting for us to find another insane Godfrey Ho ninja extravaganza to add to the catalog, right? Right? Well we did anyways - are we the only ones that can't resist the ridiculousness that is a Godfrey Ho film - the dialogue alone is worth the price of admission..........







NINJA IN THE KILLING FIELD (1984)
     

     Driven by his insatiable greediness for wealth and power, a fanatic leader of a criminal ninja clan wants to spread out their drug trafficking business all over the whole world. The first target is Thailand and through bloody terrorist attacks, the murderous ninja forces strike strategically important spots.

     The government seems powerless against the brutal activities of the ninjas and requests the help of the powerful task force of the American drug fighting organization.  The US authorities send their best man on a high-explosive mission to eliminate the unscrupulous killer ninja clan and destroy their drug ring.


     This classic Godfrey Ho (credited as York Lam) ninja epic seems to actually be one of the few movies he has made that uses mostly original footage. From the coke-bottle glasses wearing former ninja on the run to the ninja transforming into a toad, this film really is a zinger.

BOOBY TRAP (DVD) Post-apocalyptic remote-controlled revenge flick

Hope everyone had a great Halloween.  I was lucky enough to see Danzig Legacy show on Halloween night and witness a Samhain reunion and hear Danzig preform some old Misfit classics.  

We are back to digging up some real obscure flicks and this week we have a interesting '80s post-apocalyptic one that had a very interesting vision of what 1998 would be like.  Definitely worthy for anyone that is a fan of robot future trash.....









BOOBY TRAP (1986)

     It is 1998 and the city of Los Angeles has been quarantined off after a plague wiped out 120 million people in the country. Law and order no longer exists, but disease, violence and immorality are running rampant.



     A young man and his family are being terrorized by a local gang and nobody will help.  When the gang kills his grandmother and breaks his legs, the computer savvy cripple goes on the defensive and sets booby traps around the neighborhood.  It is war and the traps kill the gang members one by one in the most bizarre and vicious way imaginable.


     Not your average post-apocalyptic feature, it is more of a MacGyver-style revenge film with remote-controlled robots versus marauding gangs.  It does somehow show mankind's ability to overcome the struggling ways of fate and makes you think about what calamities might lie ahead. 


AKA - WIRED TO KILL
