Great Scene




The beginning of this Fernando Di Leo crime film has a stone faced Henry Silva in a workman’s uniform with a large case entering a building. Inside is a private theater where a group of mobsters are just sitting down to watch a porn movie, while drinking and joking around. Silva sneaks into the projection booth and assembles a rifle fitted with a rifle grenade attachment. As the movie starts he fires several grenades into the theater blowing them all to smithereens and catching the room on fire. While making his escape a guard appears in the hallway and instead of using his pistol he fires a grenade, which direct hits, blowing him to bits. The opening credits begin while showing the roasted bodies in the theater as a prog rock theme plays.

Nothing to come later in the film reaches this level of awesomeness. 😀
