Blazing Magnum [Una magnum Special per Tony Saitta/Special Magnum/Tough Tony Saitta/Shadows In An Empty Room]


An average Giallo thriller pepped up with ludicrous action sequences unavoidably triggered every time the main cop tries to ask somebody a simple question. The best of these is a toss up between a very lengthy car chase across a wide variety of terrains or the bit where the cop gets kicked through a window by a transvestite. A tough call.

  1. The never ending car chase delivered my favourite scene of the festival (unless the looming faithful recreations of torture can go one better?)

  2. Where the normal film this wants to be would slow down for character moments or scenes that would make the narrative cohere this one has 20 minute car chases. It was a fine car chase.

  3. One the of the best car chases - and one of the meanest transvestites - I have ever seen

  4. Lots of action, a funky 70s soundtrack and an even better car chase than The Man From Hong Kong! I approve.
