TRASH-ONLINE: Maurizio Merli Films on DVD!

FEARLESS FUZZ (1977) REMASTERED Directed by Stelvio Massi Starring Maurizio Merli, Joan Collins Anamorphic Widescreen, beautiful quality, totally uncut upgrade now available! Maurizio Merli stars as a private investigator (and ex-police inspector) who is hired to track down the missing daughter of a wealthy man. Another fine Italian crime film by the always reliable Merli/Massi team! This time they are joined by Joan Collins (yes the one you saw in DYNASTY!) who portrays a really nasty and sexy character. From the opening slow motion sequence of Maurizio shooting a couple of masked kidnappers, you can tell this is a classic! There is also a guest appearance of Gastone Moschin (MILANO CALIBRO 9). You can forget about those budget releases that are cut & fullscreen as the print we carry is uncut (with all the Collins nudity intact) and widescreen, as it was meant to be viewed.

FROM CORLEONE TO BROOKLYN (1979) REMASTERED Directed by Umberto Lenzi Starring Maurizio Merli, Mario Merola Mario Merola is Michele Baresi, a New York-based Italian gangster who is hiding from the authorities. He is believed to be the man behind the assassination of a gangster in Palermo. Italian cop lieutenant Berni (Maurizio Merli) is assigned to take a witness to the States and make sure he survives to testify against Baresi. Merli joins Lenzi once again for another violent crime film. This is not another VIOLENT NAPLES or ROME ARMED TO THE TEETH, it is more like the road movie of the Italian crime genre. Merli and Lenzi in top form- this one shouldn't be missed at any cost! Our print is remastered, fully scoped (almost 2:35:1), uncut and guaranteed to be the finest quality version you will find anywhere!

HIGHWAY RACER (1977) Directed by Stelvio Massi Starring Maurizio Merli, Lilli Carati We have upgraded to an imported Japanese print which is widescreen and looks beautiful! Another Stelvio Massi/Maurizio Merli (who is completely shaved here!) collaboration in an Italian police movie! However this time the outcome is not typical. What you can expect is breath-taking action with loads of car-crashing and car chases! This one used to be one of the late Maurizio's favorites. Beautiful Lilli Carati (BEING TWENTY) co-stars.

HUNTED CITY (1979) Directed by Stelvio Massi Starring Maurizio Merli, Mario Merola Commissario Paolo Ferro (Maurizio Merli) returns to the city of Milan to go after a murder corporation. Acampora (Mario Merola) is believed to be the prime suspect although he later proves to be one of the mafia's targets. As if all that wasn't enough, Paolo has to face his own newphew who seems to be involved in all sorts of dirty business. Beautiful widescreen print of Stelvio Massi's violent crime masterpiece. The immortal Maurizio Merli stars as a (typical) tough cop. This is even better than CONVOY BUSTERS, thanks to the unexpected plot twists, robberies, shootouts, car chases and explosions! HUNTED CITY benefits from excellent direction and cinematography and a funky Stelvio Cipriani score.

NOTTURNO- THE SPY CONNECTION (1983) 4 DISC SET Directed by Giorgio Bontempi Starring Tony Musante, Maurizio Merli Tony Musante (of THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE fame) is blackmailed to assassinate a Russian KGB official as his highly-guarded plane lands at the Rome Airport. Apparently a couple of British agents have his daughter and threaten to kill her unless he does their dirty work. It should be mentioned that Musante has the ability to see in total darkness and also happens to be an expert sharpshooter. Also stars a hilariously dubbed Maurizio Merli as a CIA agent, not to mention the legendary Goblin providing the music score! A well-made story of international espionage! We are proud to present the COMPLETE and UNCUT mini-series in a 4-disc set! This is guaranteed to be the finest and longest English-speaking print you will find anywhere, period.

SEAGULLS FLY LOW (1978)
Directed by Giorgio Cristallini (as George Warner)
Starring Maurizio Merli, Nathalie Delon

Downbeat suspense thriller starring the one and only Maurizio Merli as an ex-Vietnam vet who is forced to become a hitman and gets caught in the middle of a conspiracy. The violence that one can expect from a Merli movie is missing although he gets the chance to unfold his unique acting talent. This obscurity is a must-see for fans of Maurizio. Excellent funky score by Roberto Pregadio.

REBEL, THE (1980) Directed by Stelvio Massi Starring Maurizio Merli, Juta Speidel Retired cop Nick Rossi (the late Maurizio Merli of VIOLENT ROME fame) returns to action when an old friend asks him for help. He wants Rossi to assist him in the protection of a banker who is marked for murder. Rossi initially declines but eventually takes the case and ends up in Berlin investigating the case and searching for the guilty ones. He starts an affair with a blonde woman who also appears to be a member of the gang and becomes a member himself in order to solve the case. A late entry in the Italian crime genre is presented here uncut and widescreen as it was intended to be viewed. The charismatic Maurizio Merli is in top form in his last "violent cop" role. Highly recommended and essential stuff.
