We’re getting WILD IN THE STREETS with Henry Silva (/w some other guy’s voice) in Mario Caiano’s WEAPONS OF DEATH from 1977. Trying desperately to seem like a sequel to the previous year’s VIOLENT NAPLES, this one has Leonard Mann as Commissioner Belli, a cop on the edge trying to track down rogue mob boss Santoro (Henry Silva) while also helping out a precocious/annoying kid named Gennarino. Thankfully this one has a trick up its sleeve: EXTREME VIOLENCE (thanks to Fulci makeup favorite Gino De Rossi), and a few solid action scenes (car chases! Pool hall fights! Piano wire decapitation!) to keep things moving. It’s not bad, but is it.. good? Listen and find out!

Luc Merenda plays Inspector Giorgio Solmi, a renegade cop investigating a string of suspicious military deaths in Sergio Martino’s poliziottesco SILENT ACTION, also featuring Mel Ferrer, Delia Boccardo and the always welcome Tomas Milian as the suspiciously uptight Captain Mario Sperli. Featuring a tremendous car chase and a grenade-filled helicopter attack sequence near the end, it’s a mix of action, intrigue and – unsurprisingly – political commentary, and you’re going to hear about ALL OF IT. EVERY LAST BIT. ENJOY!
