Poliziotteschi Films
Poliziotteschi (; singular ''poliziottesco'') constitute a subgenre of crime and action films that emerged in Italy in the late 1960s and reached the height of their popularity in the 1970s. They are also known as ''polizieschi all'italiana'', ''Euro-crime'', ''Italo-crime'', ''spaghetti crime films'', or simply ''Italian crime films''. Influenced by both 1970s French crime films and gritty 1960s and 1970s American cop films and vigilante films, poliziotteschi films were made amidst an atmosphere of socio-political turmoil in Italy known as Years of Lead and increasing Italian crime rates. The films generally featured graphic and brutal violence, organized crime, car chases, vigilantism, heists, gunfights, and corruption up to the highest levels. The protagonists were generally tough working class loners, willing to act outside a corrupt or overly bureaucratic system. Etymology of the noun In Italian, ''poliziesco'' is the grammatically correct Italian adjective (resulting f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Emanuelle's Revenge
''Emanuelle's Revenge'' ( it, Emanuelle e Françoise le sorelline, lit=Emanuelle and Francene, the Sisters) is an Italian film directed by Joe D'Amato. It is a remake of the Greek film ''The Wild Pussycat'' (1969).

The film was written by Bruno Mattei and D'Amato. Bruno Mattei co-directed the film with D'Amato, but only D'Amato was credited.
