Ricco the Mean Machine

I can't be the only one who has seen this movie. And I most certainly can't be the only person who loved it.

Aside from a rather... umm, disinterested... performance from the late great Robert Mitchum's son, Chris, as the karate-chopping lead, this film has everything one could want from a ridiculous revenge film: a greasy mobster who makes his enemies into bars of soap, painfully cliched dialogue, a few good shoot-outs, and one of the most "holy shit" castrations on film.

Oh, and Barbara Bouchet dancing topless on the hood of car.

What's not to love?

If I'm the only one who has seen this film, I'll be awfully disappointed.

Not mean-spirited enough to really interest the revenge fanboys, but just crazy and sleazy enough to appeal to anyone interested in having a good hour and a half.

And did I mention Barbara Bouchet dancing topless on the hood of a car?

Been wanting to get this since it came out a couple of months ago.

Dont panic, i have this film in my hands on the Dark Sky label, just havn't got round to watching it yet.

Ive seen it!!! And its great....Love the soundtrack, your right about the piss poor Christopher Mitchum, watching that man act turns into a yawn fest!! He gives a good interview though. Id of liked to of seen Thomas Milian in the role but ive liked him ever since watching Almost Human..now thats a performance!!!
The castration scene was an eye opener
And they shove it in his mouth!!!

Favourite scene = Topless Car Bonnet Dance, heaven

i have it also but havent watched it yet....I might tonight

I watched it and it was GGGGGREAT!
