Eurocrime! The Italian Cop and Gangster Films That Ruled the 70s is a 2012 English-language Documentary Action movie. A documentary concerning the violent Italian 'poliziotteschi' cinematic movement of the 1970s which, at first glance, m to be rip-offs of American crime films like DIRTY HARRY or THE GODFATHER, but which really address Italian issues like the Sicilian Mafia and red terrorism. Perhaps even interesting than the films themselves were the rushed methods of production (stars performing their own stunts, stealing shots, no live sound) and the bleed-over between real-life crime and movie crime. Written by Anonymous. Eurocrime! the italian cop and gangster films that ruled the 70s stars Franco Nero in the lead role along with an ensemble cast including John Saxon, Henry Silva, Antonio Sabato, Luc Merenda, Fred Williamson and Richard Harrison.
