Syndicate Sadists (1975) [Movie] Douban Eggplant.place IMDb WikiData TMDB
Il giustiziere sfida la città
director: 翁贝托·伦齐 actor: 托马斯·米连 / 约瑟夫·科顿
other title: 胆包天 / Il giustiziere sfida la città
Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!

L'isola degli uomini pesce
other title: 水怪 / L'isola degli uomini pesce
《鲛鮹岛/Isola degli uomini pesce, L'/The Island of the Fishmen》(1979),意大利导演Sergio Martino导演的这部融合了各种娱乐元素(尤其是Giallo film风格的配乐)的海岛冒险电影,绝对是一部极其优秀、精彩、被大多数人忽视了的杰作。此片据IMDB有三个版本:Sweden:93 min | USA:81 min | West Germany:85 min,现在已经发行了DVD-93分钟最长的那个完整版本。我不知道IMDB上那个令人发指的“User Rating: 3.2/10 (328 votes) ”分是怎么搞出来的,但我敢说那些给本分打了低分,而致使它最终被搞出了这么一个令人难以置信的平均分的人,绝对都是有眼不识泰山。此片不仅在可看性上精彩到了无以复加,即使作为一部典型的类型片来分析,在类型程式运用,剪辑、拍摄技术,声效处理等各方面上,也都是继承了Giallo film 6、70年代的优秀传统经验,拍得极其漂亮的。而且本片还可说是一部非常地道的具有“90年代之前风格与味道”的古典式冒险/惊竦电影,因为它有时候不仅在恐怖效果,在男女主人公人物形象塑造、洋溢的异域情调、实景画面拍摄风格和科幻/幻想——乃至浪漫主义的冒险奇遇、抒情思维上也都是颇为“老式”的,也就是说——都是优美的。
