Question is: Is the movie badass?

SharkFinfive · 08-24-2018, 08:39 PM

So badass pretty much no plot just a bunch of action scenes and shootouts strung together by a cop played by Maurizio Merli trying to nail a homicidal hunchback played by Tomas Milian. This film or Violent Naples is the best Eurocrime film Umberto Lenzi made, and he made 10 of them. If you love Italian explotation this is a must.

I can't believe it. They announced this for laserdisc in the late '90s and it never happened. Great movie. Maybe they'll really surprise us with DEATH COLLECTOR next.

exzachary · 08-24-2018, 10:23 PM

Why the hell did they use this title? Everyone knows it by Rome Armed to the Teeth.

Apparently THE TOUGH ONES was the initial U.S. theatrical release title, so in America it's probably known more by that name. I don't care if they call it TIMMY STOLE A CANDY BAR, just as long as that Blu-Ray looks good.

SharkFinfive · 08-25-2018, 01:23 AM

I’m sure it will be a 4K master from the OCN, they did wonders with Cannibal Ferox and Cannibal Holocaust I have no doubt about how this will look.

Hawkmonger · 08-26-2018, 12:35 PM

I have the 88 release of The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist, this movies sequel, i'll be nabbing this straight up.

I wouldn’t be surprised if 88 put this out in the UK as part of the Italian Collection in the near future. They’ve released both Cat In The Brain and I Drink Your Blood. Now that Grindhouse has done the master and restoration, I’m sure 88 films will license it.

I'm so excited for this release! Grindhouse Releasing are the best. I hope they still plan on doing "Scum of the Earth," AKA "Poor White Trash II."
