Brand new factory sealed dvd is over two hours long plus 30 minutes of extras.

This documentary covers the 'poliziotteschi', an Italian sub-genre of cinema that basically means police drama. Inspired by American films such as 'Death Wish', 'Dirty Harry', and 'Godfather'. These were made amidst an atmosphere of socio-political turmoil and increasing crime rates in Italy. The films generally featured graphic and brutal violence, organized crime, mustached macho men, car chases down tiny alleyways, vigilantism, gunplay, heists, naked women getting smacked around, and corruption at the highest levels.

With lots of film clips that will have you seeking out these titles. Co-hosted by the stars of EUROCRIME: Franco Nero ('Django'), John Saxon, Henry Silva, Joe Dellesandro, Fred Williamson, Chris Mitchum and more. These interviews prove the behind-the-scenes stories of crazy and dangerous breakneck filmmaking. By the late '70s, the genre evolved into the 'giallo', a cop murder-mystery thriller-horror film.
