From Director Umberto Lenzi, VIOLENT NAPLES follows Inspector Betti (Maurizio Merli) as he hunts down a vast assortment of scumbags, thugs, and other ne'er-do-wells. His quest leads him into the darkest depths of the drug-fueled underworld, where he uses a little police brutality to take care of the criminal element.
As crime-thrillers go, this is a great one. As its hero, Merli is tough, brave, and unstoppable on his mission to shut down the mob. The bad guys are quite colorful in a vile sort of way. One classic scene involves two of these psycho crooks who pick the wrong people to rob with tragic / hilarious results! Also, the scenes of motorcycles roaring through the streets of Naples are exhilarating!
Co-stars John Saxon as a seemingly mild-mannered businessman who is actually mixed up with a figure known as 'O' Generale (Barry Sullivan).
Hyper-violent and relentless, this is one of the best movies Lenzi ever made...
