"A bird in flight..."
Enzo G. Castellari is a primary cook in the kitchen of post-WWII Italian pop cinema.
His films are usually rough, tough action pot-boilers with a dash of humanism and sentimentality stirred in to taste.
His recipe for success: a genuine love and respect for the tried and true ingredients that comprise genre tradition.
Robust examples of this are the proof in the pudding:
The Western
KEOMA (1975)
SETTE WINCHESTER PER UN MASSACRO (1968)
GO KILL AND COME BACK (1967)
GO KILL EVERYBODY AND COME BACK ALONE (1968)
JONATHAN OF THE BEARS (1993)
JOHNNY HAMLET (1968)
TEDEUM (1972)
The Crime Drama
THE BIG RACKET (1976)
STREET LAW (1974)
HIGH CRIME (1973)
HEROIN BUSTERS (1977)
DAY OF THE COBRA (1980)
The War Drama
INGLORIOUS BASTARDS (1978)
BATTLE SQUADRON (1969)
Horror
KYRA (1979)
COLD EYES OF FEAR (1971)
THE SHARK HUNTER (1979)
THE LAST SHARK (1981)
The Sci-Fi Adventure
1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS (1982)
ESCAPE FROM THE BRONX (1983)
THE NEW BARBARIANS (1982)
In other words -- Capo Castellari sure can whoop up quite a dish -- but sometimes, even when forced to use generic ingredients, his skill with the uccisione prostetica garnish is what ultimately brands his unique flavors indelibly into the palate.
And so it is with this entry in the Italian "Pasta Post-Apocalypse" craze, THE NEW BARBARIANS, that we introduce you to our insatiable craving for the cinematic cookery of Enzo G. Castellari.
Consider this next clip a high-carb snack for hungry Destructible Man-iacs of all ages!
CLOSE INSPECTION
We feel Enzo G.’s success is in his secret spice: the jerk and twitch that animates the dummy’s final moments!
Mangi!
