Ricco the Mean Machine - Limited Edition

Ricco Aversi (Chris Mitchum — Summertime Killer) emerges from a short prison sentence to find that Don Avito (Arthur Kennedy — The Tough Ones), the ruthless smuggler who murdered his father, has also stolen his girlfriend. With the help of the ravishing petty thief, Scilla (Barbara Bouchet — Don't Torture a Duckling), he makes his way through the dastardly cast of characters who betrayed him in a legendary fury of blood-drenched vengeance!

Famously marketed as CAULDRON OF DEATH in the US, RICCO is from veteran Italian director Tulio Demicheli (Assignment Terror, Sabata The Killer) and features a long list of familiar faces including Eduardo Fajardo (Django) and Malisa Longo (Urban Warriors) along with all the action you have come to expect from the genre.
