Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

gabrielkoot This is a fun and oddball comedy from the early seventies. Two gangs go to war and the smaller gang uses a lion to shake down people living in the other gang's territory. The police have to intervene and one of the gangs ends up without a boss. It's wacky, crazy fun even though it's not a great film by any means. It's strange to see a young Jerry Orbach (Law and Order) in this comedy.

DrPhilmreview This movie is a complete misfire, and a very talented cast (Jerry Orbacj, Lionel Stadler, George Loros, Joe Santos) is wasted thanks to a bad script and very sloppy direction. Comedy sequences fall flat; some scenes are so incomplete you can only guess they failed to get some shots; Herve Villacheve's dubbing is almost painful to watch.The only reason to see this today would be if you are studying Robert DeNiro's acting career and want to see him in some early roles. He's actually quite good as an Italian biker come to New York who gets involved in a gang war. But he's not enough to save the movie, at least not for me.

caspian1978 Jerry Orbach does his best to act like an Italian-American from the streets, let alone, an Italian-American. At times, he is funny but not hilarious. The plot is made to be funny but fails along the way. The audience not only loses interest in laughing, but the characters as well. By the end of the movie, you hardly care who lives or dies and whether or not the movie ends. The title alone makes it hard for anyone to take this movie serious let alone enjoyable. For 1971, an unknown Robert De Niro is the highlight of the movie. The relationship between him and actress Leigh Taylor-Young becomes more of the story than the comical situation of trying to "bump off" the head of the local mob. Robert De Niro addition to the story is the only thing that keeps the movie watchable. Even for a spoof, this off beat, chuckles of a comedy lacks interest and any passion outside the side story of Young and De Niro.

sharo Robert DeNiro has a comedic role in this movie as a member of an Italian cycling team who is stranded in New York City. It is the first movie in which I saw him, and I still recall his wonderful portrayal of a not too bright guy who raises money by impersonating a priest. He is very funny.
