Glad to hear you're earning and well! No rights to any poliziotteschi yet but I do keep mooting it might be worth a go!

It might be worth a punt mate. Vipco released Big Racket and that is no where near one of the best of the genre. Some of that stuff seems to do well stateside too so anything you got out there on region 0 may get international interest. Napoli Spara! is awesome stuff or maybe Guns Of The Bigshots, the latter being Andrea Bianchi so would tie in with Strip Nude For Your Killer.

I dunno why these films got so little interest in DVD releases in Britain cos the genre as a whole is pretty good fun.

Vipco also released Matinos dull Violent Professionals.

Herman got to dissagree with you on the Big Racket. I personnaly think its in the top 3.

They'll get zero interest from the retailers - that's the problem in the UK. But in building this place and opening to others like Arrow - over time hopefully we can prove to retailers that they don't know best - just stock the cool stuff and it will be happily bought!

Retailers dont know shit!

It is I suppose a personal taste thing and its not a bad film- but when its a genre that has produced so many absolute classics I wouldn't put it in my top three, though would maybe say top 10.

Other classics though- almost human, street law, rabid dogs, bandits in milan, fear over the city (which I suppose is sort of the genre though is not Italian) and napoli spara, contraband, violent naples I would say are all a bit better than Big Racket. As I said though its all a matter of personal tastes isnt it. I think we need a pollizioteschi thread on here

To be honest i havent seen that many crimeslime titles.

I would like to see Castellari's Marsielle Connection get a proper dvd release. I have the bootleg 23rd Century UK dvd.

Ironically Arrow released this a few years ago via the English language print. Fully uncut though missing around 8 mins of (non-sexual) dialogue.

I have that dvd and it also came with the book.
