This extraordinary gun battle has American hitman battling Italian mobsters all in an attempt to kill a pimp whose criminal activities in Italy have upset the dons of the mafia in the United States. Mario Adorf is the intended target, sought out by Henry Silva and Woody Strode which results in violent hits that have women being tortured relentlessly before being killed (a few by being shot and run over by a car before they die), the battles that occur between the Italian mafia and the American hitman, and eventually a battle that has Adorf doing his best to stay alive. There's very little dialogue after the plot is set, and it becomes a silly constant round of gunfire and the same music being played over and over in some pretty trashy locations. It's enjoyable simply because it's so silly, but also very unpleasant because of the way it seems to enjoy the way it dispatches various members of the cast. The final battle takes place in a junkyard and has some interesting twists and turns.
When the actors do speak, some of the dialogue is extremely silly, especially when one of the American hitmen says to a rather unpleasant looking Italian criminal that the next time he sees him, he'll have a bone for him, indicating that the guy is an absolute dog. The response is hysterical. The dubbing is horrible, with the daughter of Adorf having a hideous cartoon like character voice, obviously an adult actress speaking in a high pitched squeal. This obviously will not appeal to the more sophisticated fans of Mafia movies, coming out on the heels of "The Godfather" and obviously influenced by its success. It's obviously one of those films that most people will enjoy watching but will be in agreement with most others that it was pretty bad even though it was a lot of fun in many ways.
