The genre cinema made in Italy has always won the affection of countless fans from all over the world. Giallo and the spaghetti western might be the most famous subgenres, but we shouldn't forget the enormous production of police and action films made there during the seventies, known under the label of polizzioteschi. Mike Malloy has carried out titanic research work, making a documentary of over two hours with appearances by key names like Fred Williamson, Henry Silva or Mario Caiano. A Pantagruelian field day for anyone who feels curiosity about exploitation, garnished with a super groovy soundtrack. (Sitges Film Festival)
