Starring Fabio Testi, Ajita Wilson, Ivana Monti
Director Lucio Fulci
A gangleader whose brother has been murdered by a rival group finds the killers hot on his trail, pursuing him as their next target.

Gore maestro Lucio Fulci's sole foray into the crime thriller genre centers around feuding gangsters, and retains blood-and-violence factor at which the director excels. Underworld boss Luca Di Angelo (Fabio Testi) has worked his way up from the ghettos of Naples to become the city's top cigarette smuggler. A rival emerges from the shadowy underworld in the form of The Margliese (Marcel Bozzuffi), a drug kingpin who wants Luca's territory for his own. He applies ever-mounting pressure to this end, but when that fails to break the essentially ethical Luca's resolve, The Margliese kills his brother and kidnaps his wife. This sends Luca on a rampage that sets off a killing spree, giving full reign to Fulci's stomach-churning talents. Euro-sex superstar Ajita Wilson also appears.

This is the only Ivana Monti video.

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars One Fulci's better films?
Yes, i think so. It may not be his normal way of dispencing the gore. No it's not a horror flick. Instaed the gore is "real", because it's a ganagster movie. "Scarface" move over! No there isn'a anyone like Al Pachino using the F-word after ever other but you do get some pretty great murder scenes unlike anything in an "american" portrayal of the Italian Mafia. This is the "real deal" made by real Italians. Call it "Godfather IV" if you like.

4 stars The mob rules!!!
A non stop action film, "Luca I Contrabanderi" is a story of rival smuggler groups and their mafia connections. For anyone who likes this kind of films, should not be disappointed.

After a New York harbor patrolman is murdered at the hands of a flesh-hungry ghoul aboard what was believed to be an abandoned yacht, Anne (Tisa Farrow)--the daughter of the ship's missing owner--teams up with a newspaper reporter named Peter West (Ian McCulloch) for a private investigation. With the help of a pair of sightseers, they travel to the secluded Caribbean island of Matul, where Anne's father was last seen conducting medical research. There, they meet his colleague, Dr. Menard (Richard Johnson), who frantically attempts to find a scientific explanation for a phenomenon that has plagued the island; it seems as if the dead refuse to stay dead. The locals believe a voodoo curse is at work as scores of animated corpses rise from their graves to hungrily seek out live flesh. Anne learns her father has died, but before she and the others can return to civilization, they are forced into battle with a plethora of bloodthirsty zombies. Italian maestro Lucio Fulci's most lucrative outing features an abundance of shockingly gruesome sequences filmed in the director's regular close-up ...

A little-known gem of Italian giallo, THE KILLER MUST KILL AGAIN is an early project from director Luigi Cozzi, and arguably one of his best. When the wealthy but shady businessman Mainardi (George Hilton) comes across a killer (Antoine Saint-John, billed as Michael Antoine) dumping a corpse off a dock, he recognizes an opportunity and seizes it. With a little blackmail and a hefty sum of money, he arranges to have the murderer knock off his wife (Teresa Velazquez) while he attends a society function. Unfortunately, after the killer has stashed her body in the trunk of a car, the vehicle is promptly stolen by a carefree young couple on a joyride; Mainardi must field questions from suspicious authorities while the killer searches for the car. The couple, meanwhile, has retreated to a secluded seaside cottage, where they have no idea of ...
