2.0 out of 5 starsThe gore goes into overdrive but the film is just dreary
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 24 April 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Contraband aka The Smuggler aka The Naples Connection sees Lucio Fulci just phoning it in with a dreary looking and unexciting gangster flick that sees the honourable cigarette smugglers of Naples being picked off by a badly dubbed Marcel Bozzuffi's sadistic Marsigliese, who, along with his hunchbacked chemist who's dubbed by a Peter Lorre impersonator, wants to take over their organisation to run his drugs. It's not helped by the casting of Fabio Testi, as reliably boring and non-dimensional as ever in the lead but also, thanks to age starting to take the edge off the good looks he relied on, starting to look like a bizarre hybrid of Treat Williams, Michael Jayston and William H. Macy. Production values generally aren't that much higher than 70s continental porn - fake blood, obvious dummies, insipid photography and barely rehearsed action scenes are the norm for the first half of the film. Occasionally the prospect of an interesting scene is raised, such as a fight on a tilted ship at low tide, only to be lazily thrown away. There is one good action scene in the film, but unfortunately that's a spaghetti western a bored Mafia don is watching on TV while the younger cast members unenthusiastically go through the motions.

Clearly aware of just how dull the first half of the film is, the gore goes into overdrive just about the time you're tempted to give up on it and see if there's anything decent on TV instead. It's a mixture of the same ridiculous effects that mar the earlier scenes and some not particularly convincing but rather better executed ones as heads get blown off, duplicitous female drug dealers get Bunsen burner facials and our hero's wife gets raped.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsVIVA FULCI
By DJM on 27 July 2014
Format: DVD
Contraband further builds Lucio Fulci's reputation as having impeccable talent as a storyteller alongside his other classics Don't Torture a Duckling and New York Ripper. But it is the fact that such a competent professional managed to be also so fiercely unpretentious in regards to taste that has given Fulci such a high status among Italian genre fans. The result is a body of work which include watershed gore, blackly witty humour and some truly astonishing camerawork. The pan before the head lead decimation effect is truly Scorsese level filmmaking as is the strobe lighting sequence in the disco, predating black swan some thirty years. In short, Fulci and the film camera were one, producing visual splendour out of even the most meagre of budgets. Some pacing problems and one incredibly annoying kid prevent this from being a flat out low budget masterpiece, but this still remains a sadly undervalued poliziotteschi thriller.

Shameless' DVD beats out Blue Underground's release slightly with novel packaging and a first ever release of the original Italian audio. But please Shameless, i understand your niche constraints but couldn't we have had at least a booklet possibly containing the Contraband entry from Steven Thrower's 'Beyond Terror' or an interview with Fulci's always informative daughter Antonella. Something similar to your New York Ripper release would make this the invaluable edition of Contraband to Fulci fanatics such as myself no doubt (till the blu ray). Till then, wait till this comes down to seven or eight pounds. Still a must purchase though for all exploitation fans.

5.0 out of 5 starsNice to see this little gem in the UK bit ...
By M Falkingham on 8 July 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Nice to see this little gem in the UK bit slow for some people and some pretty strong gore/nudity on show Fabio Testi makes a good lead and it is good to see this in its original language.

4.0 out of 5 starsAn entertaining Lucio Fulci directed Italian crime film
By Paul Moran on 13 Dec. 2014
Format: Amazon Video
A suitably trashy and violent "Poliziotteschi" film from the notorious Italian director Lucio Fulci. This film won't be for everyone, but if you are a fan of Italian genre cinema and have enjoyed of Fulci's other work, I'd definitely recommend this. You can definitely see the influence of Fulci on the likes of Quentin Tarantino in this film as well.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat release!
By Mr. K. Arts on 26 Jun. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
While a lot of fans may be familiar with Lucio Fulci's work in the field of horror with masterpieces such as Zombie flesh-eaters (aka Zombie 2) House by the Cemetery and The Beyond; Fulci had also worked in other genres including the Giallo with such classics as Don't torture a duckling and Lizard in a woman's skin and here with crime film with the bloody and brutal Contraband.

The film stars Fabio Testi (revolver, what have you done to solange?) as a cigarette smuggler out for revenge and caught in a brutal mafia war with a rival gang set on taking over his business in order to move into the drugs trade.

As with his horror, Fulci is not a director bound by restraint or good taste and the film is an OTT crime drama with enough eye popping gore and brutality to make Scarface Blush.

The Shameless release looks similar to the Blue underground in terms of PQ and claims to be five minutes longer. It's been a while since I last watched the film but it looked similar to me as well. Unlike the Blue underground disc it has Italian audio though it is somewhat poor quality.

Overall it may not be a massive upgrade for fans who own the BU release but its a disc well worth seeking out if your curious about seeing the film. It certainly never disappoints!
