Product Description

"One of the greatest titles of all time, and it lives up to its name!" Quentin Tarantino

Before he was worshipped as an auteur of video nasty violence, the notorious Ruggero Deodato, creator of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK, helmed perhaps his most potent pot-boiler: LIVE LIKE A COP, DIE LIKE A MAN. An edgy, exciting and extravagantly plotted police-thriller, this masterpiece of high-octane action opens with a road-ripping race around Rome that makes THE FRENCH CONNECTION look positively lightweight in comparison! Inspired by the vigilante violence of DIRTY HARRY, Deodato s crowning crime-shocker stars the heavyweight pair of Ray Lovelock (THE LIVING DEAD AT THE MANCHESTER MORGUE) and Marc Porel (Fulci s THE PSYCHIC) as two police investigators who are not above taking the law into their own hands. Unleashed, uncut and uncensored, by 88 Films, this breathtaking babes n bullets blockbuster is an essential acquisition for Deodato-philes and lovers of classic Italian genre cinema alike!

Ruggero Deodato's Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man plays like a bright and breezy and bloody cross between Dirty Harry and Starsky and Hutch as Ray Lovelock and Marc Porel's inseparable cops cheerfully go about their business of killing street scum a la Roma, whether they're seriously injured or haven't actually got round to starting the armoured car robbery they're planning, all to the accompaniment of Lovelock's easygoing ballads on the soundtrack. They may be a two man death squad, but the film retains that surprisingly bright and breezy tone as they go about their business with little in the way of opposition from their boss Adolfo Celi, the violence at once extreme but over the top - this is the kind of film where it's not enough to shoot an assassin off a motorbike, he has to crash into a car and fly off. And then get crushed by another oncoming car. Like the Dirty Harry films, most of the action scenes have little to do with the plot that sees them trying to track down Renato Salvatori's elusive mobster but are just vignettes thrown in to keep things lively, but it manages it so well that it's more a strength than a weakness.

Fernando Di Leo's script does take a few swipes at machismo while undercutting the usual genre clichés and assumptions, its two amiable sociopaths finding that rather than being shackled by the law it pretty much gives them free rein for their `tendency towards delinquency,' be it burning all the cars of customers at Salvatori's club or both sleeping with his nymphomaniac sister. Their wilful ignorance of the niceties of the law clearly extended to the making of the film as well, with the producers not bothering to ask for permission to shoot the opening motorbike chase through the streets of Rome in case it was refused.

This is machismo in TOP GUN style questionable relationships.Our 2 heroes live together,ride round on a Suzuki bike,the blonde riding on the back holding onto his pal.They do like girls and don't mind sloppy seconds.Regan & Carter or Bodie & Doyle they ain't.Never seen this before so cannot complain about the quality of the print,it wasn't noticeable to me that it was poor.Guess I was hooked on the riveting storyline,well it never dragged as our heroes kill everyone they come up against in a series of set piece criminal activities that need The Special Squad to clear the streets.

As said by previous reviewers the print has a lot of flaws. The film itself is not the best but nice to finally see it. Watchable but easily forgettable.

Great fun and as we have come accustomed to with these Italian classics terrible dubbing which adds a air of humour to every scene. Just sit back enjoy and wonder in amazement of the worst mugging on a motor bike you will ever see haha
