The Cop in Blue Jeans ("Squadra Antiscippo") DIRECTED BY: Bruno Corbucci

REVIEWED: 06-06-97 Videodrome's favorite caveman, Tomas Milian, plays cop Nico Giraldi in this Italian Serpico swipe directed by Bruno Corbucci. Giraldi zips around town fighting crime on his little Enduro, but finds himself foiled by a devious gang of thieves led by "The Baron," who runs things from his hospital bed (but goes out now and then to steal stuff {short description of image}or slap women around). The Baron's boys are more-or-less a glorified bunch of purse-snatchers until they make the mistake of stealing Jack Palance's briefcase, which turns out to contain five million dollars. The mysterious Palance goes berserk and begins slaughtering the Baron's boys left and right, while Giraldi (who brazenly displays his Serpico posters in his apartment) does his best to track both men down. While this ain't one of the best Spaghetti Crime flicks I've ever seen, it does have some cool moments: in one goofy scene, Giraldi meets his new girlfriend at a trendy nightclub, where he proceeds to rough her up pimp-style in order to gain the trust of a gay informant. HIT SQUAD - Squadra AntiscippoThere's also an extended car chase towards the end, with Giraldi on the trail of Palance, whom he later knees in the balls. When Palance's assistant asks him if he's okay, he gasps "Laughing!" Then the movie just sort of ends--but not before we get to see Giraldi's pet mouse decked out in a Serpico hat. Pretty damn screwy, all in all. (Vidmark) --Scott Phillips

 

The Cop in Blue Jeans (IT 1976, Dir Bruno Corbucci, 90 mins VML - Hol) Special agent Giraldi (funky Tomas Milian), a scruffy undercover cop, is out to get the baron and his (small time) bag snatching motorcycle gang. When they steal five million dollars from a corrupt Ambassador (villain?s villain Jack Palance), mob violence breaks out, with Giraldi determined to nail both parties. A marvellous comedy/action thriller (the first of many) from the prolific Corbucci (whose brother Sergio created Django), packed with stunts and crazy characters (check the disco dancing gay pimp). Widescreen.

COP IN BLUE JEANS, THE A violent crime film from Italy. Starring Jack Palance as a psychopathic gangland boss and Tomas Milian as the equally crazy cop who wants to take him down. Also stars Guido Mannari and Maria Rosaria Omaggio. Written by Mario Amendola and Bruno Corbucci. Directed with an emphasis on action and comedy by Bruno Corbucci. (1978) Widescreen in English.

"HIT SQUAD" The second in the series with Tomas was{short description of image} (aka "Squadra AntiFurto", with Robert Webber).

Original Title: SQUADRA ANTIFURTOANTIFURTO Director: Bruno CORBUCCI Release Year: 1976 Production Company: Cinemaster Country: Italy Cast: Tomas MILIAN - Nico Giraldi Robert WEBBER Lilli CARATI Giuseppe PAMBIERI John DULANEY Giuliana CLANDRA Tony UCCI Credits: Galliano JUSO - Producer Mario AMENDOLA - Screenplay and original story Bruno CORBUCCI - Screenplay and original story Daniele ALABISO - Editor Guido & Maurizio DE ANGELIS - Music
Hit Squad is the second film in Bruno Corbucci's Nico Giraldi series, or Monnezza as the character is also known as among the Italian audience. The story involves some burglars who unintentionally steal some top secret documents from a villainous American businessman played by Robert Webber. When the burglars try to blackmail Webber, he retaliates with more force than they had reckoned with as he hires a contract killer to get rid of them. Special cop Nico Giraldi (Milian) is on the case however and he follows Webber {short description of image}back to the states. If you've seen the earlier The Cop in Blue Jeans the plot may sound familiar, it's actually almost a straight remake. There's a big difference though, the budget which seems to be much higher than for the first Giraldi film thus enabling Corbucci to through in lots of more fun action and work with better looking sets. Whereas the police station in The Cop in Blue Jeans looks like someone's cellar, here it's a proper office. There's also much more humour in Hit Squad with the especially significant introduction of the Bombolo character, a fat little guy who worked selling tickets at a funfair before Corbucci hired him. Bombolo is apparently something of a legend with Italian audiences, everytime he gets the traditional slap in the face by Milian he makes a sound "like spitting on the floor" that has to be heard to be believed. Sadly English dubbed versions loses the distinctive sounds of Bombolo. Also notable is that Milian's character is even more eccentric this time, with a magnificent seventies wardrobe that changes with every new scene. Hit Squad is uneven but generally it's a very entertaining Italian action comedy with some good motorcycle chases and a great final segment in America featuring a hilarious Naked Gun style romance. Next in the series was Swindle.

 

"Swindle"{short description of image} Original Title: SQUADRA ANTITRUFFA Director: Bruno CORBUCCI Release Year: 1977 Production Company: Cinemaster Country: Italy Cast: Tomas MILIAN - Nico Giraldi David HEMMINGS Massimo VANNI John DULANEY - also staring BOMBOLO (click for image) ANTITRUFFA - swingleCredits: Galliano JUSO - Producer Mario AMENDOLA - Screenplay and original story Bruno CORBUCCI - Screenplay and original story Daniele ALABISO - Editor Guido & Maurizio DE ANGELIS - Music
The third entry in the popular Nico Giraldi series, Swindle is routine "Monnezza" fare with enjoyably vulgar and highly politically incorrect humour. The Roman slang dialogue is as usual lost in an awful American dubbing, which however also gives the film an even more "cheap" atmosphere. This time "undercover" inspector Nico Giraldi (Milian) is investigating an insurance fraud with the help of an English detective(David Hermmings) employed by "Loyd's of London" - the "most prestigous insurance company in the world". The investigation leads the unlikely team into the Gay underworld of Rome, which gave the filmmakers the opportunity to incorporate some low-brow "gay-bashing" as the ridiculously macho Giraldi visits a Gay club. In the second half of the film Milian and Hemmings follows a suspect to San Francisco, one of the funnier segments which of course has the obligatory car chase. As in the previous films, Giraldi has a romantic interest in the form of a highly educated girl who is fascinated by Giraldi's tongue-in-cheek brutishness. The girlfriend in Swindle claims to be a feminist and studies film and complains when Giraldi wants to watch Spaghetti Westerns... The plot of Swindle is a bit more complicated than in the previous films and there's the new element of the sidekick played by David Hemmings. Basically though it's the same old story and low-brow jokes that we know and sometimes enjoy from Cop in Blue Jeans and especially Hit Squad. All films share the idea of having witnesses and suspects being gradually assassinated as Giraldi gets closer to solving the crime. Hit Squad and Swindle also share the element of Giraldi going off for an entertaining visit to the states towards the end of the movie. These two films have less than a year between them and are actually quite similar and you can tell that they were shot by the same team. The Giraldi character is still fun but a slight dissapointment this time around as Milian has started wearing a curly long-hair wig (or ist real hair?!) and does also feature less of the bizarre clothing. Although the great hats are still there!

 

Then Came:
ASSASINIO SUL TEVERE ("MURDER ON THE TIBER") (Police - Thomas Milian & Marina Lante della Rovere) John Dulaney as "Ballarin" - Tom Dulaney "Wedding Guest" - regía: Bruno Corbucci - v.c. n. 74106 del 12.10.79 - m. 2663 - ppp: 12/10/79 - c. pr.: Cinemaster In Germania Occ.: Tony Marroni - Der Superbulle jagt den Ripper (04.02.83 - 96')

Manfred Ruffini, member of the " Tiberina Family ", a criminal association, runs amok and the district attorney arrests the owner of the barge on which the crime it has been made. But the marshal Nico Giraldi, called " Monnezza ", is not convinced and, although deprived of authority he gives his all to arrive at the truth. (from the Italian synop.)

ASSASSINIO SUL TEVERE

CASSANDRA CROSSINGI did "CASSANDRA CROSSING" in 1976. Lots of fun in Basel, Switzerland and Rome.

A SHORT REVIEWFrom: THIS LINK

Plot Summary: A group of passengers aboard a train are quarantined because of a deadly virus aboard. They are to pay with their lives in order to stop the spread of the disease... Comments: Excellent! Great cinematography, music, plot and special effects. Its suspensful, occasionally illogical, and has fantastic characters. Disaster lovers will love the ending. Quite lenghty though.

Click here for more Reviws such as: "In spite of all of what I've said, The Cassandra Crossing is still fun to watch. This movie should be considered as a suspense movie, not as mere another panic movie which was flourishing in 1970s. "

A Review of the JERRY GOLDSMITH musical score: "The Cassandra Crossing" - Jerry Goldsmith "The Cassandra Crossing" ranks among the best of Goldsmith's orchestrations from the opening statement of the love theme (showcasing a harpsichord, and handled with a sense of impending doom) to the finale. The creepy metallic aura of the music is thrilling, the main theme a psychological delight, and, again, here is one of the music effective uses of unusual techniques in Jerry Goldsmith's career. The 'Helicopter Rescue' track is a bone-crunching action sequence that guarantees this is at least worth the cost of a listen. Rating: ****""
