PRESALE - RELEASE 09.06.2022
FREE FOR ADULTS 18 AND OVER

In the 1970s, Italy was in the grip of organized crime. The capital, Rome, was being crushed between the brutality of the Mafia and political terrorism from the left. The police? Either bribed or they had given up the fight. Commissioner Ferro, known as "The Viper," repeatedly suspended for violations of regulations and otherwise a thorn in the side of his superiors, knew the language of the gangsters—a language of lead and blood.

With great pleasure, we present to you, dear genre fans, an undeniable milestone of the Italian police film. THE VIPER, a Poliziottesco masterpiece by Umberto Lenzi, brings you the Italian favorites Maurizio Merli and Tomás Milián in roles that could only be played by these consummate professionals.

To the hard-hitting action funk of Franco Micalizzi, Merli beats up Mafiosi and Milián proves why he, as a native Cuban, became the favorite actor of his adopted Italian homeland.

THE VIPER - an absolute must-see for any collection of Italian, action, and exploitation cinema.

We present to you THE VIPER in a Mediabook, in Italian and German, of course uncut and equipped with the usual detailed booklet from our in-house author Christian Ladewig.

Cover A is limited to 1000 copies.
We are producing the webshop-exclusive Cover B only 63 times, a symbolic measure.
