WARNING
Also Known As
L’AVVERTIMENTO
Directed by Damiano Damiani in 1980
Starring Giuliano Gemma, Martin Balsam and Laura Trotter
A police inspector is unwittingly drawn into a vortex of lies and paranoia when he finds a deposit in his bank account for a very large sum of money. He then receives an anonymous phone call warning him to do things the right way when the investigation begins. Before he can even figure out what it means, his friend is murdered during a massacre inside headquarters! Since he is soon made the man in charge it’s clear what was meant, but that's only the tip of the iceberg. Now is the time to find the truth, but how? Who can he trust? Where can he run? Is it worth being an honest cop or is that just a romantic dream? Plenty will go down as the mystery unfolds. The Warning is complex and exciting featuring excellent performances within a story that will keep you guessing until the end! The soundtrack is provided by Riz Ortolani. Damiani would direct many features though he will be best remembered for Amityville II: The Possession. This print is both widescreen and uncut! In English language with Japanese subtitles.

WEAPONS OF DEATH
Also Known As
NAPOLI SPARA
Directed by Mario Caiano in 1977
Starring Leonard Mann, Henry Silva, Massimo Vanni, Ida Galli (as Evelyn Stewart) and Massimo Deda
Here comes one of the most sought after and highly regarded movies in all of Italian crime cinema… Weapons of Death! Just about everybody who manages to see it becomes a loyal fan and many feel that it’s the summation of everything great about the genre! Leonard Mann is a cop trying to do the best job he can in the city of Naples, but it’s never easy, especially with high profile criminals like Henry Silva around! Silva manages to anger everybody from the local law enforcement all the way to his fellow underworld crime kingpins. Driven by blinding greed Silva is only getting started when he puts together a plan to rob a money train in broad daylight while it’s still full of passengers! He wants to go as far as he can and with as much as he can carry! No life has enough value to slow him down! There is no remorse in this seemingly soulless shell of a man who will destroy anyone who attempts to deter him! Mann, as tough a customer as he always was, is not about to just sit by and watch the criminals take over the streets, not by a long shot. This has got to be the single most violent Italian crime film of the seventies! Bloody shootings, beatings, face smashing, burnings, castration, and a decapitation are among the acts of malicious interpersonal destruction you’ll find throughout! The best thing about all of this is that Weapons of Death has the ability to back it up with something that matters! Aside from the strength of the writing (not to mention the performances - Mann shines as usual), the excellent cinematography and editing come together with effortless fluidity to capture the cityscapes of Napoli in all their beauty thanks to the talents of Pier Luigi Santi and Vincenzo Tomassi respectively. A soundtrack that must rank amongst the finest courtesy of the great Francesco De Masi is a memorably affecting gift to all of us and the aforementioned graphic goings-on are the handiwork of none other than Gino De Rossi himself! A truly impressive movie that’s everything you’ve heard it is and more. As rare and elusive as Mario Caiano’s achievement has proven to be over the years, it is with great pride and pleasure that we offer Weapons of Death to you now fully uncut, presented in widescreen, and in English language with Dutch subtitles.
