YUL BRYNNER died way to early…
YUL BRYNNER a GREAT ACTOR , Fine Person and LEADER OF the
MAGNIFICENT SEVEN 1960 With Horst Bucholtz Charles Bronson
Yul Brynner gone but never forgotten and always loved by Film Fans / Western Fans.
I just watched “Ricco the mean machine” (Tulio Demicheli, 1973) with Christopher Mitchum, Eduardo Fajardo, Barbara Bouchet and Arthur Kennedy.
It’s a great and very brutal crime film, especially “the castrate scene” is grim.
Highly recommended.
Just viewed A Special Cop in Action and enjoyed very much, which has all the elements that make these films so great.
I really know nothing of this genre but am thinking of giving it a try and figured Sergio Sollima would be a good place to start. I’m considering getting Blue Underground’s double shot of Revolver and Grand Slam. (I know Grand Slam isn’r Sollima)
Can anyone recommend these?

I would recommend them highly.
Revolver is my favorite italian crime film, and Grand slam is a good heist film with Klaus Kinski.
Today I watched “Confessione di un Commissario di Polizia al Procuratore della Repubblica” (1971). Really a fascinating Movie from Damiano Damiani, with a great unforgettable Music Score from Riz Ortolani. Milano Calibro 9 will follow soon.
Confessions of a police captain starring Franco Nero and Martin Balsam is a great film, it was one of the first films that dealt with the issue that maby the police is powerless against organised crime.
Milano Calibro 9 starring Gastone Mochin is equally great, watch out for Barbara Bouchet dancing in the night club 
I promise I’ll do.
The Cop In Blue Jeans (Squadra Antiscippo) is an ok movie, with lots of comedy elements. Milian & Palance shine throughout.
I’d love to get hold of a copy of Little Italy (Squadra Antimafia) , with Milian & Wallach.
Can anyone help?
Milano Calibro 9 was very good. Barbara Bouchet dancing (wow) 
What a crime story (with a big surprise!), that movie was a really pleasure.
How is Umberto Lenzi’s Napoli Violenta?

I’m glad you liked it 
Napoli Violenta is equally good.
Then I know what I will watch soon. 
If you like Maurizio Merli you will love this one for sure, it’s one of his best film.
Napoli Violenta was also good! A great Poliziottesco, reminded me on some Jean Paul Belmondo Cop flicks (but with more violence and blood!). Today arrived La Male Ordina also directed by Fernando Di Leo.
Also known as “Manhunt” this is another top italian crime film with Mario Adorf as the lead.
Absolutly it is a top crime movie. Not as good as Milano Calibro 9 but still pretty good.
Yes Milano calibro 9 is definitely the best of the trilogy but they are really all great movies. It’s a wonder that Fernando di Leo could make something as bad as Killer contro killers later in his carreer.
Agree with you, Fernado di Leos Crime Triology is great.
Never watched Killer contro Killers, but thanks for the warning!
Killer vs Killers (Fernando di Leo, 1985) does not compare in any way with Milano calibro 9, Manhunt or Il Boss. The later three are great crime films from the early seventies (72,73) while Killer vs Killers is a medicore action film from the eighties.
