Rulers of the City - UK Limited Edition

Tony (Harry Baer, Fox and His Friends), a debt collector for a small-time Roman boss, dreams of making it big. He meets Rick (Al Cliver, Zombie Flesh Eaters) and decides to back him up in order to screw over an American gangster, called Scarface Manzari (Jack Palance, Batman), who monopolizes all the crime in the city. But Rick is driven by revenge on Manzari because he had treacherously killed his father after a robbery years earlier. An Italian crime classic from Fernando Di Leo (The Boss), Rulers of the City features his trademark violence and action with a strain of dark humour producing one of the filmmaker's most enjoyable slices of Eurocrime. Newly restored in 4K it is presented on Blu-ray in the UK for the first time.
