Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaYul Brynner and Barbara Bouchet, who play lovers in the film, did not get along. Bouchet was with Brynner in his dressing room going over lines when he took off his unwashed socks and threw them at the wardrobe lady's face. "Wash them," he told her. Boucher didn't like that at all. So when she found out he was superstitious about carnations, she anonymously sent a big bouquet of carnations to his dressing room.
- Quotes
Peter Marciani: [as the henchman puts a gun to his head] If I were you, I'd shoot.
Gallo's henchman: You're worth double alive.
Peter Marciani: If I were you, I'd still shoot!

Featured review
Let Yul Brynner's bald head hypnotize you...
The "Chilling Classics" 50-movie pack was staring me down like a salivating jackal as I stood in the horror aisle of Circuit City, contemplating the pros (50 movies for dirt cheap!) and cons (probably crap quality as a result). My inner consumer scanned the titles on the back of the package, and was intrigued enough to hand over the greenbacks. First flick: "Death Rage," a Naples-set crime thriller starring stoic bald superman Yul Brynner, an ex-hit man who is brought back into the world of organized crime to avenge his brother's murder--car chases ensue; an unlikely pupil is taught the ways of contract killing; a blonde sex kitten (Barbara Bouchet, from "Don't Torture a Duckling") falls for our chrome-domed hero; and Martin Balsam shows up to pay the rent. Director Anthony M. Dawson (really Antonio Margheriti) keeps the pace moving along, and stages some good (if ridiculously unrealistic) action sequences. And Brynner's performance is a wooden hoot... While "Death Rage" is hardly brilliant, it is low-budget, low-down fun.
