Come rubare la corona d'Inghilterra (1967)
ARGOMAN: the coolest super-hero ever.
This movie is a philosophy of life: "live and take what you really want". A CAMP classic of maximum proportions, which ruled the world in the late sixties, conquering all the known B-movies markets. Sir REGINALD HOOVER/ARGOMAN is the greatest, coolest and meanest super-hero/anti-hero ever been. Period. I'm actually proud to be Italian, and I'm wondering WHEN and HOW and WHERE Argoman the fantastic superman will strike again. Thanks, Sergio Grieco! Bottom line: ROGER BROWNE kicks ass!

The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971)
If you like this, you will love RAIMI's DARKMAN
Phibes is a very cool character. He's not only a "mad doctor" at 100% but also one of the ultimate "bogey men". This guy is a genius, his mind is by far superior to everyone else's. At the same time, he's a psycho monster (disfigured and totally twisted) moved by "revenge". Phibes uses to hide himself into the darkness (he wears masks to reproduce his former human facade) and he's extremely...ehm... dangerous. There is a similar character. The unfogettable "DARKMAN", played by Liam Neeson and created by the evil mind of SAM RAIMI. Darkman is the definitive "bogey man", a disfigured psycho hero with unknown faculties, searching for revenge against his enemies who disfigured HIM. In the while, he can assume alternate identities with special syntethic skinned masks. In fact, he was a scientist, a genius. I advice YOU. Rent Phibes, then buy Darkman. You will be not disappointed by these two great heroes, surely the darkest movie characters in history. Both the movies are stunning Horror/action/adventure/drama/comedy mixs...please, don't miss them. Revenge is the medicine, of course.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)
THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL THE TIMES !!!
MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME : This is one of the GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL THE TIMES !!!!!!!!!!!!!. A must-see,a true classic (Just like "Road Warrior") .This flick is contested by some few MAD MAX purists and reviewers that obviously wanted a pale copy of the previous movie like third installment...The real point is that MM2 and MM3 are extremely different 'cause Max is a character in constant evolution, just like a real human being. "Mad Max beyond Thunderdome" is pure poetry mixed with conceptual violence and a lot of ingeniousness.Sorry,but "Mad Max 2" is not so complete,and the first one is nothing more than a very good movie. In this third movie,we can see the ascension of the character and his real changing.Mel Gibson is wonderful.Tina Turner is unforgettable.The setting shows what's happened to Australia after that Nuclear exchange occurred few time before the "Road Warrior" ' events (in my own chronology ).Forgive "Star Wars",this is the sole real TRILOGY !!!!!! The fight into the Thunderdome is the best action fighting sequence i ever seen ! . The tribe of lost children is the masterstrike of this third chapter.The end is cathartic,awesome,incredible: Pure poetry... This is the best of series,almost all the MAD MAX fans think this.However,It was a very great box-office hit,the 21 th grossest film of 1985,Tina won the Naacp award like BEST actress,and the MAD MAX and ROAD WARRIOR/MM2 cult turned into a MAINSTREAM LEGEND thanks to this third chapter...11 stars out of 10 !
Rambo III (1988)
The best of the series - no spoilers !!!
Everyone prefers Rambo 3,and it's right,'cause the third one is really the greatest action movie of all the times (and not only a "simple" action movie,it shows an "heart" feeling ) . It's so clear this one is the coolest entry in the coolest action saga of all the times. So,forget Lethal Weapon,man ! Rambo is a legend.Rambo is an icon.We can say RAmbo is history,and no one bad critic can destroy this truth.The first one defined the Action-hero-with-a-soul concept. Then,the sequels defined an inner "spiritual" force not understandable foe everyone.The bad critics sew only "action movies",but Rambo is more than a pair of explosion. An amazing trilogy ! " FIrst Blood " is the character's damnation phase. I don't wanna explain you the story of this incredible movie.The legend of John Rambo begins in this flick,then it develops in "Rambo :Fb part 2" (Redemption),finally it arrives to the glorious climax in "RAmbo 3" (Ascension). All the three movies were hits. Both "First Blood" and "Rambo 3 " grossed about 55 millions ( "Rambo 3" was a real huge success in America thanks to the rental and video charts; however 54 millions is a real good gross reported to 1988),so they were cleary hits. "Rambo :Fb part 2 " grossed 150 at the domestical box-office,it can be considered the headlight of the series. But we have to not forget,RAMBO 3 grossed 135/145 millions overseas !!! It was the action hit of the late 1988. Togheter the three movies have grossed over 600 millions in the late eighties. (Now,OVER a BILLION) . People loves Rambo.Critics hates Rambo.But nothing can refuse the fact Johnny made history.And not only the movie history. Long life to Johnny from his own greatest fan !!!!!!!!!!!!!
First Blood (1982)
A great beginning,but not the best -no spoilers !!!
Everyone prefers Rambo 3,and it's right,'cause the third one is really the greatest action movie of all the times (and not only a "simple" action movie,it includes an "heart" ) . But " First Blood " is an interesting beginning for this magnificent series,and the only action-movie i ever seen to show a fashionable sociological tone.It's a great movie,like the sequels !!!! Together,they form the greatest action series of all the times.Rambo is a legend.Rambo is an icon.We can say Rambo is history,and no one bad critic can destroy this truth.Plus,the sequels have an inner "spiritual" force not understandable foe everyone.They see only "action movies",but Rambo is more than a pair of explosion. An amazing trilogy ! " FIrst Blood " is the character's damnation phase.I don't wanna explain you the story of this incredible movie.The legend of John Rambo begins in this flick,then it develops in "Rambo :Fb part 2",finally it arrives to the glorious climax in "Rambo 3" . All the three movies were hits. Both "First Blood" and "Rambo 3 " grossed about 55 millions ( "Rambo 3" was a real success in America,despite the fact it was a HUGE HIT only overseas !!!!!!!!),so they both were hits."Rambo :Fb part 2 " grossed 150 at the domestical box-office,it can be considered the headlight of the series. Together they have grossed over 600 millions in the late eighties. (Now,OVER a BILLION) .

Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)
An important piece of the movie history
This movie is a sort of legend.It's the greatest action flick of all the times,and the only movie can be compared to it it's "Rambo 3",another masterpiece. "Rambo:First Blood Part.2" is intelligent,beautiful,frightening and...so "Eighties" that you could consider it a piece of history.One of the best performance of Sylvester Stallone.Julie Nicholson (Co Bau) is great and she's a fine actress.Richard Crenna is a myth.The screenplay's a masterstroke,and i don't care the track of "reaganism" in it. Rambo is a rebel,a lone soldier,not a simple puppet in the hands of America.Not a simple human instrument.America offended and pushed him in the first movie.Rambo is an anti-hero,he really don't care 'bout America.He cares 'bout american soldiers STILL trapped in that hell.Point.Have you understand ? Best sequence: All the movie.My favourite :The Co Bau's death...so poetic.Sly seems a dancer when he fights,but he's one of the greatest actor too.He's not only a bunch of muscles !!!!!!! If you love good movies,you'll love "Rambo:First blood part 2".The mother of all the action flicks !!!!!!!!!!! Without it,forget "Die hard" and "Lethal weapon".Forget the word "Action" .
