Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately| Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction| but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another. The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average| but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!。故事发生在20世纪30年代的巴黎，经济的不景气让所有人都陷入了财政危机之中，曾经大放异彩的娱乐业也因此走向穷途末路。穷困潦倒的女子维多利亚（朱丽·安德鲁斯 Julie Andrews 饰）在一次偶然之中被陶德（罗伯特·普雷斯顿 Robert Preston 饰）相中，陶德看中了她英姿飒爽的气质，让她假扮成男性，再以男性的身份女装，以满足某些人群的嗜好。 就这样，维多利亚以维克多的名字出道了，哪知道她刚柔并济雌雄莫辩的形象很快就火便了整个城市，就连夜总会大亨马尔尚（詹姆斯·加纳 James Garner 饰）也不禁被维克多深深吸引，他怎么都弄不明白，维克多身为一名“男性”，究竟是如何将女性气质模仿的惟妙惟肖的。。Spinoff of Vice's Dark Side of the Ring that looks at '90s pop culture。
