This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I just loved the flying-scene and the cool hardened look of Jansen. I think it´s too little helicopters in movies now a days. Helicopters are probably the coolest and most impressive vehicle ever invented. Maybe, the morrow-accident recalls too much bad memories to the directors? Nevermind this is a good film (especially because it´s TV-film from the 70´s) recommended especially for teenagers and war-veterans..

Deaf-mute blondie(Akin)lives a poor but idyllic life with her old father working as florists. One day five escaped convicts visits their house. They kill the old man, rapes the girl and steal all their money. These convicts looks and act like real sleaze bags, Rifki from "midnight express" seams like a choirboy in comparision. Because of the very cruel rape the girl gets a shock which leads to that her speech comes back. She swears to get here revenge, so she educate herself to be a cop and Karate-expert (this goes really quick and by the time she is finished the crooks are still unleashed)... This movie is rather fun and entertaining. But it ain´t no real masterpiece in it´s genre, I would only recommend this film too people who likes odd movies. There are many logical mistakes in the plot and some actors are real terrible. But I like the mood of this kind of movies it´s fun to see, the look of the diabolic crooks will give you nightmares hehe.

Milian plays a leatherjacket wearing(nice "cuckoos nest" woolen cap too) ex-cop and biker named Rambo(!!!). Rambo returns to Milan? to visit an old cop-friend. The friend is now working at a security company who protects companies from mafia- villains. Rambo gets employed by the company and therefore gets involved over his head in the struggle against the organized crime. An old mafia-family lead by ancient and blind Paterno (played exellent by legend Joseph Cotten) have teamed up with other gangsters lead by less cool but more sleazy Conti(a great Catenacci). The gangsters devote there freetime too car-jacking, kidnapping, dope-dealing and blackmail. Finally some of the gangsters kill Rambos copfriend and you know what that means reveeeenge!... I really like this movie! good characters (especially the crooks), good and realistic plot, great action, good motorcycle and car chases, and the music it´s mindblowing. We also gets an unforgettable fight inside a pool-hall(maybe a bit inspired by Coogans bluff). I want to have this movie-soundtrack now. Got this movie from my father back in 80´s and I recommend for anyone who likes 70´s crime movies...
