Format:DVD
Borsalino and Co. begins with the funeral of Jean-Paul Belmondo's character from the first film, leaving Alain Delon to hold the fort almost single-handed, and the results aren't as entertaining as they could be as he swears revenge and finds himself on the losing side of a gang war with a gang of Italian fascists looking to destabilise the country through crime and drugs, with Marseilles a natural starting point. The choice of villains are interesting, as are their weapons of choice - they prefer to kill underlings and employees (even blowing up a bad music hall comic in the middle of his act: a bit redundant considering he was clearly dying long before the bomb went off) while publicly humiliating their bosses - but the film never really rises above the average. There's plenty of stylish décor and sharp suits, a couple of decent shootouts but not much fun (it's an hour before Claude Bolling's famous theme from the first film is heard), so it's no surprise that the US-set sequel promised by the end title never materialised.
The poor standards conversion transfer on Kino's region 1 NTSC DVD doesn't help matters either. Extras are stills gallery, original theatrical trailer, and trailers for The Sicilian Clan, Flic Story, Two Men in Town, Mort d'un Pourri, Trois Hommes a Abbatre, Pour la Peau d'un Flic, Le Battant, Parole de Flic and Ne Reveilles pas un Flic Qui Dort.

Format:VHS Tape
Even though some reviews of this movie are less than flattering, suggesting it is almost a slaughter-fest between the gangs of Marseilles, (and OK, yes there is plenty of that) it is still quite cleverly and colourfully constructed and certainly well carried by Alain Delon, yet again. His character goes a bit gooey at times when he is forced into alcoholism as a punishment, but with his loyal sidekicks getting him through, I still felt it was entertaining to see how things panned out after he lost his trusty mate from the original movie.
