This is actually a pretty good movie for it's time. Influential on later American action films to be sure (the American film industry of the 80's pillaged older better Itallian films). The main problems here are a very poorly done transfer and even worse, an edited American print. While I've not had the pleasure of seeing the original cut, it had something like another 15 minutes of film! Lee Van Cleef is a real pleasure, as is Edwige Fenech (what little she's in this), and a descent supporting cast. Interesting idea, with some good action sequences (well filmed and executed car chase). I would no doubt give this a higher rating in its original form.

Quality is not so great and the sound drops and flys off the chart a couple times, great film but not such a great dvd.
