Harvey Keitel is a policeman on the
trail of a cop killer. His investigation leads him to suspect a
young and spoiled rich guy (played by John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten
of The Sex Pistols!). Eventually Keitel abducts the boy in what
starts as a normal interrogation and turns into an out-and-out kidnaping!
An unusual picture with an Ennio Morricone score. This is the R-rated
version, not the cut tv print that is going around. There are a
few occasional minor wrinkles on our source tape but it doesn not
distract. Overall this still looks much better than the budget DVDs
going around. |

Para Psychics (To koritsi vomva aka Death Has Blue Eyes, 1976)
ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Directed by Nico Mastorakis,
Greece
2
free-loving happy-go-lucky small-time cons meet up with a beautiful woman and
her mother. Unbeknownst to them they are being followed
by what seem to be assassins on motorcycles. The woman turns out to have psychic
and telekinetic powers. Her mother offers them $2,000 to protect them from the
killers. This movie is not so much a straight-up Giallo but rather belongs more
to the "what the fuck!?" sub-genre. "Para Psychics" has a
bad reputation as one of the worst movies ever made but I enjoyed it quite a bit!
The middle part of the film is a bit hard to follow as nothing much happens plot-wise;
the 2 men wander around, sleep with a lot of naked women and fight off attacks
by the assassins. There is a big plot twist towards the end. The free-spirited
attitude of the 2 men creates a sort of "Butch Cassidy"-on-drugs atmosphere.
Not an epic but I liked it! The picture quality is a bit dark at times but not
bad. DVD-R includes the original theatrical trailer! Starring Jessica Dublin,
Maria Aliferi, Peter Winter and Hristos Nomikos. |

When a rich man is assassinated in broad daylight his daughter Monica
(Barbara Bouchet) offers an enormous reward for information on the
killer. Michael Reardon tries to track down the killer and soon
finds connections between the victim and the narcotics industry.
An unusual thriller with artsy and psychedelic touches of the times
including Reardon going undercover in a biker gang (that attacks
and torches a nude interracial couple) and a murder at a psychedelic
love-in. With Susanna Martinková as a blind victim of an LSD experiment,
director Carmeo Bene as a ruthless assassin and brief appearances
by Margaret Lee and Helen Mirren. This English dubbed version, which
includes the original theatrical trailer, seems to have replaced
much of Pierro Piccioni's original score with an alternate score.
We also offer the Italian language version as "Colpo Rovente"
taken from Italian television.This version retains the amazing score
and has different editing on the scenes but runs about 20 minutes
shorter and is most likely cut. Buy both versions from us in a double
pack for $20.00 (or just 1 version for $12.00).

interesting view although not for everyone. Starring Luc Merenda, Lou Castel,
