too much talking but made just a year before the real terrorism in Italy
25 June 2012
This is a flick that you don't see that often. It was released on a Italian label but something went wrong with the transformation from 8MM to VHS. So that one is OOP. Furtheron it was released on a Greek VHS still to find and on American VHS on the MOGUL label. MOGUL is something strange. Nothing is known who was behind it and there isn't a list of the VHS they brought out. Therefore MOGUL VHS are hunted down by freaks and some are ultra obscure, most of them where European flicks, nowhere else to find. Some are nowadays available on DVD but this here isn't.

I knew that a lot of MOGUL releases are pure trash and this here is really boring as hell. Luckily I paid almost nothing for this version on MOGUL because the label on the VHS was missing. But the VHS was in perfect condition, not a copy. What also was missing was suspense.

It's just a story about a few friends who want to do terrorism in Italy. But don't think that you will see gore or even red stuff. It's a flick where they are talking and talking and nothing really happens. The masturbation scene in a toilet was in tact but even that was low standard. There are a few inserts with news footage from Italy where people do strike and of some riots where you can see dead people. It reminded me a bit of Faccia Di Spia (1975), another cult flick and well sought after but boring as hell.

The only thing that is weird is that it is all about terrorism and destroying Italy. But just look what happened, one year later Italy was full of The Red Brigade (Brigate Rosso)and the killing of Aldo Moro (1978).

Still, hunted down by the VHS geeks and goes for around 75$ on MOGUL. Was I lucky to pay only 10$...
