杀手龙虎斗

　　1974意大利剧情犯罪片《杀手龙虎斗》由Adelchi Bianchi导演，Henry Silva主演，影片讲述的是：
Leave it to Italian sleazemeister Andreas Bianchi here codirecting with his brotherto take a brutally violent and borderline misogynist genre like the Italian polizieschi and actually up the ante considerably This movie begins with drug dealers trying to smuggle drugs into Italy sewed up in the body of a dead child and it only gets ...[显示全部]more gratuitously violent from there A brutal gang war is going between a traditional Italian mafia family and an Americanized godfather who has been deported back to Italy Injected into this conflict is another ItalianAmerican gangster the protagonist Henry Silva and he begins to play the two rivals off against each other in the style of A Fistful of Dollars or Yojimbo
Silvas character might seem like the good guy or at least the kind of antihero Clint Eastwood played in Fistful and other Westerns and later in Dirty Harry which was a big influence on the Italian polizieschi But the Silva character himself is quite psychotic when it comes to women specifically the masochistic prostitutemistress of the American gangster played by Barbara Bouchet The first time they meet he violently sodomizes her And when she comes back for more he beats her with a belt Now I have to admit the description I read somewhere of a naked Bouchet being whipped by a belt did not exactly dissuade me from seeing this but its not an accurate one She is not naked at least in that scene and he literally beats her to a bloody pulp Even her boyfriend who otherwise is content to throw the promiscuous girl at his erstwhile partner is horrified by the brutal beating and vows revenge
This scene squanders any goodwill toward Silvas character which may have been the intention I dont know but also toward the film itselfits pretty hard to take even for someone like me accustomed to the casual misogyny of the genre It certainly doesnt help that the actress is Barbara Bouchet who along with Edwige Fenech and Rosalba Neri was and still is one of the most popular European exploitation actresses of the era although this probably would have been only marginally more palatable if it had been some anonymous Eurobimbo To its credit this movie at least cant be accused of glorifying any of its gangster characters like some other polizieschi tended to do Still it might be a little bit too much for many viewers
