EUROCRIME! Documentary Explores Violent Italian Crime Films of the 1970s

by Rodney Perkins, June 3, 2009 6:10 AM


Mike Malloy has been hard at work on a new documentary called Eurocrime!:The Italian Cop and Gangster Films that Ruled the '70s, With the expert participation of genre genius Kier-La Janisse, Malloy has pulled together a roster of the top actors and directors in the Italian crime genre in order to get their perspectives on these tough, brutal, and occasionally dangerous films. The list of interviewees is a "who's who" of action heavyweights, including John Saxon, Fred Williamson, Antonio Sabato, Henry Silva, Franco Nero, Enzo Castellari, Leonard Mann, Joe Dallesandro, and numerous others.

Twitch was provided with an advance trailer, which provides a taste of what Malloy and company have been up to. A release in late 2009 is anticipated so start preparing your death dance (watch the trailer), listen to some albums by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis, and check with Twitch for more details in the upcoming months.

Oooh, interesting! Especially as I recently happened to add a couple of Nero's "euro crime" movies to my wanna see-list, as his spaghetti-western movies are getting fewer.

Wow, everyone's involved. Franco Nero, Henry Silva, the whole gang. Do you know if Mike Malloy has the rights to show actual footage from the films? That would really put it over the edge and make it a must have. Right next to Not Quite Hollywood.

It's strange that there is no interview with Sergio Martino (who holds the rights for almost every Maurizio Merli flick))

Btw, no Tarantino in this one .. strange :-D

Rights to film clips are being worked out.

Awesome, Mike. If you haven't found finishing funds yet, this trailer should help make that happen. I hope so, because this is going to be an amazing doc on a very cool film (sub)genre.
