A Man Called Magnum

Product Description A MAN CALLED MAGNUM stars Euro-hunk Luc Merenda (GAMBLING CITY) as Dario Mauri, a Milanese cop transferred to Naples, where his only clues to stopping a range war between an aging Mafiosi and a merciless independent operator are the strange, violent drawings of a child. Called Napoli si Ribella in Italy, this hopping poliziotteschi belongs to a subset of crime films associated with Naples, including Umberto Lenzi?s Napoli Violenta, Mario Caino?s Napoli Spara, Ciro Ippolito?s Lacrime Napolitane and Alfonso Brescia?s two-shot of Napoli? La Camorra Sfida, La Cittá?Risponde and Napoli? Serenata Calibro 9. Shot by Sergio Rubini (EMERGENCY SQUAD, BRONX EXECUTIONER), A MAN CALLED MAGNUM features familiar Euro-cult faces Giancarlo Badessi (WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE?), Ferdinando Murolo (ASSIGNMENT: TERROR), Claudio Gora (DANGER: DIABOLIK), Adolfo Lastretti (FOUR OF THE APOCALYPSE) and Enzo Cannavale (CINEMA PARADISO), as Merenda?s comic sidekick. Director Michele Massimo Tarantini was a former cameraman for Sergio Leone and assistant director for Giuliano Carnimeo and Sergio Martino (TORSO). Tarantini?s own films ranged from gritty action flicks (CRIMEBUSTERS) to sex comedies (A POLICEWOMAN IN NEW YORK) to women-in-prison films (WOMEN IN FURY). The script is the work of veteran scenarist Dardano Sacchetti (Mario Bava?s TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE, Dario Argento?s CAT O?NINE TAILS and Lucio Fulci?s THE BEYOND).
