Mario Adorf


The scene where Luca’s wife is run down in the street along with their young daughter is ruthless. But what’s really crazy is when it turns into a foot race between Luca and the assailant. Mario Adorf, who plays Luca runs his ass off in theses scenes so much you actually feel sorry for the actor. There’s such a feel of realism in these kind of films and Adorf delivers.

This is a bump for Luca Canali! :)

I just noticed the scene is up on YouTube for the first time, so I thought I’d share it here.

It’s a really interesting film that includes two hit men, a black and a white guy, who are tasked with tracking down a low level pimp. It’s rumored Tarantino got his idea for Jules and Vincent from this one. Mario Adorf plays the pimp in the chase scene and as was so common in these films, he does his own stunts. Another bit of trivia, the little girl who gets run over by the van is played by Lara Wendel, who later was in many Italian horror films. Most will remember her as the girl who was chased by the Doberman in Tenebre (1982).
