Seanax.com - 9/10 by Sean Axmaker(Henry) Silva and (Woody) Strode inspired Jules and Vincent (played by John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson) in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.
User Review - 10/10 by Mattia Cvabbè quando ci sono di leo e mario adorf io mi tolgo il cappello
User Review - 10/10 by Marc DThis is it!! Great italocrime from the master Fernando Di Leo. Great action, superfunky score and Henry Silva, Woody Strode, Adolfo Celi and especially Mario Adorf give a kick ass, straight A acting here. Highly recommended
User Review - 10/10 by Trent ROne of the best Italian crime thrillers from the 70's. Try to watch the Italian version if you can.
User Review - 10/10 by Chuck NManhunt aka The Italian Connection gets my award for being the best of Fernando Di Leo's lauded trilogy of 70's mob films. Mario Adorf [still active today] earns his reputation as a legend of Italian cinema with his portrayal of the good hearted pimp, Luca Canali - who merely wants to take care of his estranged wife and daughter, and is able to collect money from his girls without ever having to show his "pimp hand!" A shipment of heroin goes missing, Luca is framed by the local Don, and 2 mean mugging American hitmen arrive to take care of business. Henry Silva and Woody Strode are the perfect iconic thugs. They love their work, and proceed to set Italy on it's ear with over the top gangster machismo, raising hell in gangland, and in some jaw dropping early 70's discos. The Clockwork Orange meets Rodney's English Disco aesthetics are worth the price of admission alone. However, the action is top notch, on par with any of the greats, French Connection, Dirty Harry, you name it. One extended chase scene, first by car, then by foot was astounding. What I love about the Polizioteschi genre, is that it pulls no punches, and no one is safe from a sudden and brutal demise. However, Di Leo transcends exploitation, when his protagonist Luca takes a moment to play with a cat in a junk yard, banter playfully with his stable of prostitutes, or plead convincingly to have someone explain how he got into this predicament. Film obsession is like fishing, and tonight I caught a prize.
User Review - 8/10 by Stefano DFantastic, the second part in Di Leo's trilogy of films based on organised crime. Alot to follow up on after the impeccable Milan Calibre 9. Manhunt delivers. It's action packed with a gripping storyline. Henry Silva is as wooden as a dining table as always. Mario Adorf is fantastic, one of the best on foot car chases I have ever seen.
User Review - 8/10 by Nathan NBatshit insane italian vengeance flick. Features a pug-ugly cast. Great fun. The greatest thing about this is seeing Mario Adorf hit things with his head.
User Review - 8/10 by A.J. ASmall-time pimp Luca Canali, Mario Adorf, has been set up to take the fall for a crime he didn't commit. The New York boss has sent two hitmen to take care of the problem in Milan. The manhunt begins as the carefree and goofy Luca Canali transformers himself into a warrior that is not only trying to survive but is trying to take out the entire Milan mafia in the process. Another excellent movie by Fernando di Leo!
User Review - 8/10 by Anthony AMario Adorf is amazing in this as a pimp who is scapegoated to the mafia and finds himself on the run from hitmen. The violence is wild and over the top, with Adorf head butting everything from fellow criminals to inanimate objects, like the windshield of a car that is trying to run him down, a scene that has to be seen to be believed. Really fun, well worth tracking down. Recommended.
User Review - 8/10 by Alessandro BSurprisingly raw and good, even though a bit cheesy in its portrayal of gangsters and the dialogues. Solid story, frantic rythm...really enjoyable flick.
