While not, strictly speaking, a Poliziotteschi (because the role of the police is pretty limited and it’s not a procedural), director Fulci has crafted some kind of cross between the crime films prevalent at the time, and the gore films he is most known for these days. When his wife Adele (Monti) is kidnapped, the normally mild-mannered Luca goes on a rampage of revenge the likes of which Naples has never seen. Being a sadistic torturer, he murders, tortures, disfigures or mutilates anyone who gets in his way. Things turn deadly serious when a French drug kingpin, known as The Marsigliese (Bozzuffi) decides he wants to move into the Italian territory, with hard drugs and all. Luca has a wife and young son, and doesn’t want to jeopardize their lives.
He and his smuggling buddies ride their speedboats up and down the Italian waterways to deliver the goods, but it’s never anything really harmful like drugs. Luca Di Angelo (Testi) is a Naples-based cigarette smuggler. Starring: Fabio Testi, Ivana Monti, Guido Alberti, and Marcel Bozzuffi
