Brothers In Blood (film)
''Savage Attack'' ( it, Brothers in Blood) is a war film directed by Tonino Valerii. It was written by Roberto Leoni after the success of several films based around veterans of the Vietnam War. The film starred Bo Svenson and Peter Hooten and was shot primarily in the Dominican Republic. It did not receive a theatrical release in Italy and was released on home video in West Germany as ''Brothers in Blood'' in 1987. Background and production In the mid-1980s, the Italian film industry was losing its audiences dramatically with the number of filmgoers in 1980 being 241.8 million to 123.1 million in 1985. This led to smaller Italian producers making films that imitated English pictures for less demanding markets such as Central America and the home video audience. ''Savage Attack'' was part of this trend, being made after the popular success of the film ''Uncommon Valor'' (1983), though Roberto Leoni said the script was written before the success of that film. ''Brothers in Blood'' st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Shatterer
is a 1987 film directed by Tonino Valerii. Production ''Shatterer'' was produced with Japanese funding. Producer Asao Kumada got in contact with director Tonino Valerii after being suggested to him by Peter Shepherd. Shepherd had previously met with Valerii on the set of '' The Best of Enemies'' and again on ''Day of Anger'' where he was Giuliano Gemma's dialogue coach. Valerii did not like Kumada's story for the film involving the mafia taking over a nearly bankrupt steel mill that is saved by a Japanese team. Valerii stated that it was absurd for the mafia to attempt to take over a company that was at a loss and read about a car engine that would work for less fuel was being tested on and suggested Kumada to make a story about that. Valerii stated that "it was an unlikely story, but it worked well in Japan." Beatrice Ring was cast in the film, but was not the first choice for the role. She had the interview with Tonino Valerii right after finishing work on Lamberto Bava's film ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
