Syndicate Sadists. 1975.

Seven years before Stallone took on the role of Rambo, Tomas Milan is Rambo in this...seriously that's his character's name, a biker who returns home and takes on two crime families and rescues a kidnapped youngster after his brother is killed trying to rescue the youngster.

Right from the opening we see the main character ride into the city and not a great first few mins but then it slowly goes into the character build up with a karate exhibition and shooting practice so we know Milan is a tough guy and then the kidnapping that seemed a bit lame but hey it's the 70s. Then we get the build up of the crime families who want to wipe out the other and take control but at the same time have to get rid of the pain in the ass guy. Umberto Lenzi manages to keep a certain not slow and not too quick pace with this and does build up some good tense moments.
